TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.

Two colored men, jim benson and .
ha f-brother. were taken Thursday
night abou' 10 O'Clock from the county
Jail at Madison, Fla, by persons ur-
known, carried into the woods about
a-bslf mile from town and hanged.
Toe bodies we're riddled with bullets.
Tney are the two men who, few
weeks ago, were charged with the Kill.
ing of Frederick Redding, farmer re-
siding in the vicinity OF Madison. They
fed TO Georgia, we're arrested and
taken back to Florids and confined In
tue Leon couoty Jail. As there was
some fear OF lynchiDg II they were
taken to Madison before court was helu
an order had been issued and PUBLISH
ed calling special term of the circuit
court. to be held on the 7th instant,
and the sheriff had been ordered to
lodge the prisoners 10 Jail to await the
action OF the court. The train bearing
them was slowed up about mile
from town and the pris ,ners
taken through the woods to Jail.
While attending an entertainment at
ne opera house Thursday night, given
Oy the Knights of Pythias, the sheriff
wss informtd that some one wished to
see him. Oa reaching the street the
keys of the Jail we're demanded Of him.
He refused saying that he did not bave
them, bul several men seized him snd
succeeded in getting them. To repair
to the j Ill aud execute their purpose
was the work OF short time. The
night was cold end rainy. There was
no noise or excitement. and but few
ouizsus knew OF the lyncbing until this
morning. The sound Of the firing of
guns was heard by many, but no ootice
was taken OF it. as during Chrisimss
and New YEARS. holidays the explosion
OF fireworks iG town aud the firing OF
pistols on the surburs was OF nightly
occurrence. From the pumber OF empty
cartridges found at the place, it Is esti-
mated that the number OF the lynchers
was q hundred or more. The mob is
supposed to have been made up Of Red
di0g's friends. They wore masks and
none OF them was recognized by the

A BRUTAL CRIME.


The death OF Is year.old daughter
OF Holland K. Miller, a farmer of North
Branch district, elk miles east of Cum
herlsud, Md, and the illness of another
d,ughter brings to light revol ting
@ ime said to have been committed q
few nights previous by two young men
lsmed Underwood and Obert. During
The absence of the father of the girls, 1t
s said, they entered the house with
drawn revolvers and stayed all night.
The girls were both assaulted and one
girl has since died as the result OF the
brutal treatment. The girls were both
treated in q most inhumsn manner.
The men are said 10 be despera char
ters. who have been working on the
Baltimore aud Ohio cutoff at Patter-
son's creek, and it Is believed 1t will be
ard to cslch them. The other
daughter of Dir. Miller is re.
ported very i'll and may not recover.
There is no constable In North Branch.
The COTS ables OF Cumberland refuse to
20 out of their district, not caring to
take risks with such desperate men
aud, as last resorr. Officers Edward
O'Neil and Charles w. Goss, recognized
as two of the most fearless men on the
c umberland police force, have taken up
the case aud will pursue the men, who
are believed to be 10 the neighborhood.
They have, it ia declared, been the
leaders of q lawless force around the
scene of the new work and 1t Is be-
lieved go effort will be made to prevent
their arrest. The whole country is
aroused by the rusult of the revolving
crime. The names of the girls ere
Miupie NJ. and Virginia Miller. Il
could not Re lea ned definitely which
one died, but it is understood 1t was
Minnie.
