KILLED BY NEGROES
Young Farmer and His Babe the
Victims of Two AssassinS.
MOTHER AND WIFE LEFT FOR DEAD.
Negro Boys Mere Hired to Do Farm WOsk
But Took the Life OF Their
New Employer.

A double murder was committed about
ten miles from HazIehurst, Ga, Mon
day night about dark by two young
negroes named Butler Goosby, aged
IL, and his brother, human Goosby,
aged Is.
They called at the residence of Mr..
Dan Minis and stopped and hired to
him to chop cotton, he having agreed
to give them employment. They both
had axe handles with them, and as
soon as it was dark Mr.. Minis went
outside and one of the negroes knock
ed him down. They cut his throat
and stabbed him in the eyes.
Mrs. Minis, who was in the house,
on hearing the disturbance rushed out
to her husband, and she too was
knocked down. The negroes thinking
they had killed her, turned their at
tentiOn to Mr.. Minis, thereby giving
Mrs. Minis time to escape.
Mrs. Minis had her baby in her
arms at the tine she was knocked
down and the shock caused by her
fall injured the baby so it has since
died, while Mrs. Minis is seriously
hurt and the chances for her recovery
are exceedingly poor.
Tho coroner held an inquest and
the deputy sheriff with his blood
hounds and a large posse of men be-
gan securing the woods in every direc-
ton hunting for the murders.
The motive of the crime is supposed
to have been robbery and criminal
assault.
Minis was young man, the son of
John T. Minis, one of the most sub
stantisl and highly respected farmers
in Appling comfy. Minis had been
married little over one year.

LADYSMITH SIEGE COSTLY.
Brother of Cecil Rhodes Describes
Fearful Condition That Pre-
vailed in BeIeaguered Town.


Colonel Rhodes, the brother Of Cecil
Rhodes, describing in The London
Times the entry into Ladysmith of
Lord Dundonsld and 800 men of the
Imperial Lighthouse and Natal Car
bineers February %, says:
TT is impossible to depict the en-
thuslasm OF the beleaguered garrison;
cheer rang from post to post, and
staff officers, civilians and soldiers
Hooked to greet them. The contrast
between the robust troops Of a dozen
battles and the pale, emaciated defend
ers Of Ladysmith was great.
General White and his staff met
the troops in the center of the town.
He was cheered with heartfelt enthu-
sissm. He addressed the civilians and
thanked them and the garrison for
their magnificent support, which we
alone can realize.
1--WE could possibly have hung on
for six weeks longer, hut the priva-
tions would have been great and sick
ness and the psucity OF our ammuni-
ton would have limited the number
of assaults we would have been able
TO resist.
eve started the siege with IL, 600
troops, 1000 civilians and 1000 ma
tives. Between casualties and sick
ness 5000 soldiers passed through the
hospital. 1t is impossible to over
emphasize the privatlOns of the sick.
Since the middle of January q man
once down was practically lost. The
reduced rations Of the soldiers just
sufficed for their subsistence. Daily
thirty old horses and mules were
slaughtered and converted into soup
aud ssusages. From January Is to
now there have been over 400 deaths
from disease alone. The last fort-
night saw the majority Of the field
horses endorsed and the guns perma-
neniiy posted in our defenses. The
cavalry and drivers were converted in
to infantry and sent to the trenches.
A line of defenses had been construct
ed with the view of a possible final
contingency, if the outer works should
be carried.
"SiDce the investment the total
casualties were:
"Killed or died or wounded, q Off
GERS aud go men; died of disease, 6
officers and $40 men; wounded, 20
officers and $40 men, exclusive OF
white civilians and natives"

The Kaiser to Kwans Hsu.

There is manly and noble ring to the
letter which the Kaiser has addressed TO
the Emperor of China, in answer TO the
latter's note suing for peace. AS ms
Majesty William II pointedly says, it takes
something more than pouring libations on
the grave of a murdered minister TO atone
for the crime of his killing, and for all
the sfckening record of outrages, tortures,
and massaeres perpetrated upon helpless
women and children. under Imperial ediets.
The German Emperor acquits Kwang Hsu
of guilt in the premises, which is just No
body can rightfully accuse that unfortunate
young prince of completely in the atrocities
which have been committed in his name.
He is mere puppet in the hands of his
bloedthirsty aunt and her agent Prince
Tuan. The Kaiser's letter viii be notice

Hanna In Chfcncn.

II Marcus A. Hanna had the command OF
English that he has of trust money, be
would probably be a campaign orator of no
mean pretensions. As it is, he is a pecu-
liarIy Iurid chrome on the stump and
person whose oracular activities are at
once a source Of alarm to his friends and
of joy unspeakable to his political enemies.
Hanna is not an inventive genius, except
In the dark ways of practical politics. In
his own opinion he is a very Edison and
whole Patent ONCE. He would not hesitate
to offer the least of his discoveries for
copyright, and the vanity of authorship
which he possesses in an insane degree
makes it impossible for his associates to
do anything with him. Yesterday in Chi
cago Hanna broke loose again, and, to a
meeting of retail statesmen, harangued
about the Ice Trust in New York, calmly
ignoring his recent official declaration that
there is not trust in the United States
But that was not the plum of the speech.
He eEnptied the viais of his wrath upon Mr..
Bryan for being as he said with custom
ary inveracity. dominated by Richard Gro
ker, Esquire of New York
The idea which Hanna sought to convey
was that candidate with boss in control
of him is not entitled to the confidence and
suffrage of a free and independent body
of voters marching to .ne polls with din,
ner pals full of Eagan and Abner embalm-
ed beef. more unfortunate line or argu-
ment as far as his own interests and de-
signs are concerned could not be conceiv-
ed. In fact it would be very well for Han
Ia to omit all mention of candidates with
bosses; because such things revive memo
ries and touch up pictures which it is i'm
portant for Marcus A. Hanna and William
Mckinley to keep in the cellar as much as
possible
When Hanna talks of Mr. Bryan as
one bassed. he must expect the American
people to remember how five years ag5
he bought his own candidate at .herfT's
sale. and has led him around by a string
attached to a ring in his nose ever since
Hanna is a forgetfuI bird, but the pub
lie is not. The latter recalls the fact
that once when his Keeper was tempo
rarily absent, Mr.. Mckinley wrote a
message to Congress in which he en-
bodied the famous truism about s'our
plain duty to Porto Rico 1t is also
history that when the full and fell mean
ing of this innocent outpouring of con-
science dawned upon the fatty degener-
ated mental processes of Hanna, that
person went to the White House and

a tendency to seek in some broad system
of elevated culture a more general fitness
to cope with the increasing number and
complexfty Of modern economic problems
The laws of New York have recognized the
higher aeeountaney as profession; pFovis-
ion has been made for a certificate of quail

ton has been founded presupposing a
knowledge of theory of accounts Of prac-
ticaI accounting, of auditing. and of COM
merciaf law. and the applicant must have
had modicurn Of experience in the abso-
lutte practice of accouu fancy. Practical ac-
counting, as deduced from the science of
accounts, is no longer a tumble OF book

grounded in reason; every feature OF the

ought to bear the impress of the science
of which this art is the expression

It is we'll known that the chemical COM
position of the atmosphere differs but little
il at all. wherever the sample be taken;
whether it be on the high Alps or at the
surface of the sea, the relation of oxygen
to nitrogen and other constituents is the
same The favorable effects therefore of
d change OF air are not to be explained by
any difference in the proportion of it's gas
eous constituents. One important differ
ence however. is the ARCHAEOLOGICAL one
The air of high attitudes contains no mi
crobes and is, in fact, sterile, while near
the ground and some hundred feet above
it microbes are abundant In the air of
towns and crowded places not only does
the mierobie impurity increase, but other
impurities such as the products of com
buStfon of coal, accrue also
Several investigators have found traces
OF hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons in
the air, and especially in the air Of pine
oak, and birch forests. It is to these
bodies, doubtless consisting of traces of
essential oils to which the curative eff
feets of certain health resorts are ascrib-
ed. Thus the locality of fir forest is
said to give relief in diseases of the
respiratory tract. But all the same these
traces of essential oils and aromatic
products must be counted, strictly speak
ing. as impurities, since they are not ap-
pareEtly necessary constituents of the
air. As recent analyses have shown
these bodies tend to disappear in the air
as higher altitude is reached. until
they disappear altogether 1t would
seem, therefore, that microbes. HYDRO

and nitrogen, and perhaps we should add
argon, are only incidental to the nsigh-
