IN several respects. The increase OF

not due TO routine transactions. but was
attributed to the financing OF q num-

4 DOURLE MuRRER-

Information has been received Of the
brutal double murder at Haywood,
Madison county, Sunday evening, of
Peter Jackson and his daughter Min
nie. several years ago Minnie, like a
great many colored people from tine
Culpeper neighborhood, went to Penn
svlvani2 to work. There she met ana
married q man named Grant Reed.
He proved TO be indoleut and unable TO
support his wife and infant. His
worthlessness caused his wife TO leave
him, and she returned to the home of
ner father in Madison county. Reed
correspondent with her and last January
went to Culpeper to see his wife, when
sac promised him nat if he would do
better and send her money enough to
20 to Pittsburg, Pc, she would go back
to live with him. Reed sent the money,
but his wife did not go. This
brought him to Haywood. His wife,
however, positively refused to go back
with him. This enraged the negro,
and without warning he grabbed a
double barreled shotgun and fired, the
load striking his wife on the chin, al
most tearing away her chin and jaw.
she ran and Reed, following close upon
ner, siashed her with a razor. The re-
port of the discharge attracted her
father to the scene, and when he saw
his daughter wounded and fleeing for
her life, he engaged Reed in a struggle
for possession OF the weapon. Reed Is
ii powerful negro, and the old man was
| no match for him. He let the old man
fight for the weapon until his oppor-
tunity came, and in an unfortunate
moment Jackson got in front of the
gun, when Reed pulled the trigger and
the old man sank to the ground dead.
Reeds wife was uhen some distance
from him and had entered the yard Of
a neighbor. Reed, reloading the gun
and taxing a steady and deliberate ain,
fred a second time, killing the woman
Instantly. Reed then went to Madison
Court House ard gave himself up to
the authorities.

THE GROWTH OF CRIME

The Georgia State Baptist ConyeD.
ton closed its annual session at S4ysn-
nah last night. The principal feature
of the whole session was the report ys.
terday afternoon upon crimes ana
l~ynchipgs. Former mayor and JUDGE
George Hilyer, of Atlanta, pre,ealed
the report. 1t was somewhat Sers.-
lional. He gave a few startling figures
upon the increase of crime, urging the.
consideration Of the question upor
the church, that great and pow.
erful body, out numbering all
other denominations in Georrie
aud suggesting that, as the lsw W.
slow, the legislative body be appealed
to. Judge Hilyer's report and recon.
m%eDdations were adopted. Judge Hal.
yer said that in the United States there
we're more homicides than in Scotland
England, or Prussia. The matter had
been brought before the bar assoc..
tons 10 1894 and 1896. In 1891 there
were 5000 homicides in the United
States and in 1896 10000. Iu tre
past year more homlcides were COMMIT.
ted in the United States than men were
killed in Cuba and more than fell III
Gettysburg or in the Philippines. Pe5.
pie were losing confidence in the l.s
| slowness and lack of interest IN Tia
public mind. The press has been re-.
markably quick in bringing the matter
TO the attention OF the public, but the
ease with which verdicts are SET asif.
in the court rooms and the facility with
which notorious criminals escape plr.
ishment have brought much of l1.
about. The amount Of crime is i~uc-s,..
ing, and it seems that the criminal l..
the only one that has any rights. The
people lose confidence in the elective
ness of the law to punish crmila,
hence the increase in l~yncbines. Jude
Hilyer said that although he had tv.r.
brought this matter before the Bat A.,
ISOLATION, they had taken no action
He now appealed from the bar to the
church to aid in correcting this ggcst
| evil.

GENERAL GOMEZ may 90 back to his
native island, Sau Domingo, as he
threatens to do, but those who know
him we'll DONE believe he will do so as
long as the three million dollars Pres
ident Mckinley has sent to Havana for
him and his gangs OF banditti shall re-
main there undistributed. The Gen
eral. unlike his negro chief Maceo, who

Paris, April The Figaro today
publishes the testimony OF the former
ministers foincsre and Deyelle before
the court OF cessation. Both of these
officials were convinced OF Dreyfus's
guilt by the bordereau. According to
them General Rogert said tnat he had
learned that certain reasonable acts
nscribable to Dreyfus had been COM
mitted prior to 1892. The witnesses
believed it vas impossible for there to
have been any agreement between
Colonel Henry and ex-Major Esterhazy
and also that it Was impossible for Es-
terhszy to have written the bordereau.
The bordereau in the Dreyfus case is

TIL A YCONVENT

The Richmond correspondent OF the
Petersburg Appeal says: The leaders in
the movement for the May convention
will meet in Richmond aGay or two
IN advance of the date for the gather
ing and map out q plan. They realize
that it is important to have some sort
of proposition to submit. Congressman
Jones, Hon. r Walton Moore, Attor-
ney General Montague and Hon. w. F.
Reddy are expected to be among those
who will map out the programme. Mr.
Jones is said to be at work on a plan
that he will have to offer. A. the time
for the convention to meet draws near
er, it looks more as if what shall be
done will he confined to measures and
not to men. The Martin people are
every day receiving assurances THAI The
movement is not aimed ut him but at
the system of cnoosing Senator's. They
will turn out in great numbers and Il
may be that they will be strong enough
to adopt a resolution that will provide
that what is done shall not apply to the
election of a Senator mex December
but snail become operative thereafter.
The May convention people are re-
ceiving letters from all parts Of the
State from persons who promise TO at
tend. 1t looks as if there would be d
very large attendance. AS I have pre-
viously stated, the Martin, as well as
the anti Martiu people, will attend. Mr..
Martins supporters will give their suD-
port to measures but should there de-
velop any personal a%ntagonism to the
Junior Senator, trouble, and much OF it,
will be had. Itso happens that many OF
the most influential advocates of popu-
lar vote for Senator are irisnds OF Mr..
Martin. They will hearty enter into
the spirit of the meeting but if the
movement should develop hostility to
he reelection of the gentleman from
Albemarle the proceedings would be ln-
teresting if not exciting.

Il OHIO

Municipal elections of more than or
diary importance were held in Ohio
yesterday. Robert Il. McKisson, re-
publican, mayer of Cleveland, was de-
feated for reelection by ]. H. Farley,
democrat, by about 10000 majority.
This fight was of almost national sig
nifcance. Mr.. McKisson was not only
running for a third term for mayor, but
it was also his Intention to oppose
President Mckinley, Senator Hanna
and others in the Ohio State conven-
ton this year and next year, and to
seek to control the four delegates from
the Cleveland districts and other Ohio
delegates to the national convention
next year. The vote shows that the re-
publican friends of the President and
Senator Hanna rebuked McKisson, who
ran as a fusion candidate against MIR.
Hanna for United States Senator, by
either voting against him for mayor or
not voting at all. The remainder of
the republican ticket was elected.
At Columbus The republicans elected
their full municipal ticket. This
was the first republican victory there
in twelve years.
The entire republican ticket was vic
torious at the municipal election in Gin
cinnati by 4 majority of about 1900.
The vote was rather light.
In Dayton the democrats were large
ly successful at the municipal! election,
electing two out OF three candidates on
the city ticket and securing control of
the city council.
Canton, McKinley's home, went
democratic except for mayor, Robert
son, republican, being elected by Is
majority. All the members Of the
council elected are democrats.
The republicans were successful in
most Of the Ohio towns.
