The second ward was the scene Of
another murder on Wednesday even
ing about 5 O'Clock, and we are glad TO
report that the murderers were caught
and are now safely in Jail.
James Brown, colored boy about
10 years of age, was shot to death by
Shepherd Allen and John Kelley, also
colored.
From Information, it Is said that
several coIofed men were blowing in
the field and when they reached the
turn-row, Allen asked Kelley for his
pistol, which was handed TO him, and
then he turned TO Brown with on oath
and made him get down OH his knees,
and without any proyocation shot the
boy through the heart, killing him in
siantly.
After the killing coroner Long tele-
graphed to deputy sheriff Gilmour
who sent down deputies Blouut and
Powell TO the scene as quick as posi-.
Bile. They reached there in about an
hour after the murder was committed,
aud by quick work caught the two men,
who had already made their escape
The murdercrs were brought to town
and by IL O'Clock that night were
safely behind the bars.
From The evidence before the core.
| ner's jury II is said 10 be one of the
most cold blooded killings that has
ever occurred in East Carroll.
As court meets in a few weeks they
will moi have long 10 wait before trial,
when ii Is to be hoped that justice
will be meeted out TO them.
VIM. Robinson, co,ored man living
on the Carrollton plantation, died
suddenly on Monday morning, and
there was some of the colored people
on the place who thought there might
be something wrong connected with
his death, and Judge Gilmour was
called out to hold an inquest. Robin
son had gotten some butter from
Judge Henderson and wife, both
coiored, few hours before he died,
aud ii was thought that poison might
have been put in the butter by these
parties. During The inquest lieDder-
son and his wife said to prove that
there was nothing wrong with the
butter they would eat II, and Mr..
Peek, the manager of the place, who
had placed the butter under lock and
key so that 1t could be examined,
went and got it, aud both Henderson
aud his wife ate the butter, which
knocked GU. tho belief that he was
poisoned, as both of them are living.
The coroner's jury was satisfied from
this that Robinson must have died a
natural death. and rendered their
verdict accordingly.

and Order ssUnder the Stars and
Stripes" = Talks at Meth
odist Meeting,

Ocean Grove, n. j., Aug. aG.-Presi-
dent Mckinley took the Methodists in
to his confidence yesterday. He sur
prised them by appearing on the plat
form of their auditorium and address
ed them briefly on his Philippine pol
icy. 1t was long time before he got
a chance to do this. however, for the
applauding Methodists gave him an
ovation, and the warmth of their re-
ception was too much to be resisted.
After he had finished Confidential
talk" and there was short lull in the
cheering he added he had said more
than he had intended to. He spoke as
follows:
Il have no words with which to eX-
press my appreciation of your warm
and generous welcome. l have come
to pay my respects to the Ocean Grove
association and to thank it for the mag
nificent work it has done in the past
and for the still greater work it will
accomplish in the future. Piety and
patriotism go well together. Love of
the flag and love of the country is not
inconsistent with our religious faith.
Il think we have that love for our
country and that the people love our
flag more than they ever did before;
and wherever that flag is raised it
stands not for despotism and oppres-
sion, but for liberty, opportunity and
humanity. and what that flag has done
for us we want it to do for all peoples
and all lands which by the fortunes of
war have come within its jurisdiction.
That fiar does not mean one thing in
the United States and another thing in
Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES.
There has been doubt expressed in
some quarters rs to the purpose of the
government respecting Inc Philippines.
can see NO harm in stating it in this
presence. Peace first, then, with char
ity for all, an established government
of law and order. protecting life and
property and occupation. for the well
being of the people, in which they will
participate under the stars and stripes.
(Cheers.)
Now, l have said more than in
tended TO. (Cheers.) only want 10
express in conclusion the pleasure it
has given me TO look into the faces of
this great assembly of Methodists and
the pleasure it has given me to receive
your most gracious and splendid well
