Richmond, Va, March 24.-The Sc
ries of exciting events in Greenville
county the past week eliminated to-
day in double lynching at Emporia.
Both Cotton, the negro. who. accord
ing to his own confession, killed San
ders and Welton, and O'Grady, the
white man who was with him in the
cabin when the murder occurred, were
hanged by mob, variously estimated
at from 1000 to 2,00o strong.
This morning the sheriff of the coun-
ty discharged from duty the military
that had been sent from this city at
his request, and Major Cutchings, in
command of the troops, notified Gov
ernor Tayler, stating at the same time
that he believed that If the prisoners
were left unprotected by the militia
they would be lynched. The governor
replied as follows:
The aole responsibility is on the
sheriff. If he orders you to withraw,
you can do nothing but obey. We have
done everything to uphold the law and
prevent mob violence and are still pre-
pared to render ANY aid necessary.
Have recalled train with Capt. Chat
woods company and will again dismiss
them. We Will arrange to bring your
men BACK
Accordingly the militia departed
Hardly had they gotten out of sight
when mob took Cotton from the Jail
and hanged him to tree. They then
took O'Grady out and hanged him also
The three other prisoners, whom Cot
ton charged with having committed
the Blick murder and robbery, were
discharged by ths judge and left town.
At last accounts toe town had re-
sumed It's wonted quietude.
Governor Taylor said this evening
II feel that l have done all | could
in the matter. The civil authorities
stated that they could handle the mob
without military assistance and when
the sheriff ordered MAJOR Cutchings to
depart there was nothing left for him
to do but go.

suit, but | could not keep the soldiers
there without declaring martial law,
and l did not feel that the prevail
ing conditions warranted that.
"The law in reference to such mat
ters will, presume, be carried out.
The men who took part In the lynching
will, or should be, arrested and dealt
with accordingly.
"We were given to understand that
protection would be given the prison
ers. The result shows that this conf
dence was abused"

GALVESTON TRAGEDY.

partment from the chief
of the North Atlantic squadron, who

Galveston, Texas, March a3.-In a
fracas last night Chief Boatswain' s
Mate Nelligan, of the Machias, was
killed and Edward Nelligan, FIRST
class fireman of the New York, slight
ly wounded. The commanding officer
of the Machias has been directed to in
vestigate and report and to have ,,an
officer present at the inquest.
(Signed) "FARQUHAR."
The affair is source of deep regret
to the officials here, but they are under
the necessity of relying entirely upon
the civil authorities of Galveston for
the punishment of the guilty parties.
Capt. T. NJ. Ward, of the stea mer
Lawrence, was given preliminary
trial before Justice Hersch berger on q
charge of murder in the shooting to
death of Michael Nelligan, boatswain's s
mate on the gunboat Machiss, now in
port, with the battleships Texas and
New York. After fifteen witnesses
were examined the court held Ward to
answer to the charge IN bond OF $4,000.
Ward applied for writ of habeas cor
pus.
Lieuts. Grant and French aud DR..
Richards, of the gunboat Machias,
have been appointed board of inquiry
to Investigate the killing.

IMPORTANT CROSSING SECURED

IMPORTANT CROSSING SECURED
A dispatch from Warrenton to the
London Daily News says: A small
fanking force sent through Boshoff
secured an important crossing where
the ferry had been destroyed, but FORE
seeing this Lord Methuen had another
point built which is ready to be sent
thither when an advance is consider
ed opportune.
The cavalry and infantry column is
en- route for this point. Thus the posi-
tion Of the Beers at Fourteen Streams
is formidably threatened.
Lord Methune's advance has not
been hurried to the relief of Mafeking,
where the pressure has apparently been
relaxed as result of the operations
elsewhere, but he is confident of his
ability to push aside the opposition on
the Vaal river when the proper time
comes.
