THE LOUISIANA TRAGEDY.

Shreveport, La, June 15.-The
funeral of John Gray Foster, the
young planter who was killed on his
plantation by Prince Edwards, a ne
gro, on Wednesday last, occurred yes
terday afternoon, and was largely at
tended. A majority of the business
houses of Shreveport closed in order
that their employees might attend
the funeral. Among those present
were Gov. McMillin of Tennessee and
Mrs. McMillin, sister of the muir
dered man.
The score of negroes under arrest,
charged with completely in the MUIR
der of Foster, have been successfully
removed to the parish Jail at Benton,
and there Is no further fear of mob
violence.
Edwards, who did the killing, is still
at large, and posses continue in the
field, securing the country in every
direction. If caught Edwards will be
suInmarily dealt with. The excite
ment of Thursday and Thursday
right has been almost wholly allayed
and so far as the negroes now nicer

trouble is anticipated.

CURIOUS CITY GARDENS.
In London Crops Are Raised I'm q Bar
rel, or Open Umbrella, or Under
Blankets.

Many people have such a deeply
rooted love for flowers that they
will go to any amount of trouble to
raise few blooms, even under the
| most apparently impossible circum-
stances, says the London Mail.
Instances of this occur in the East
End of London, where sometimes the
| only available garden is barrel. In
| order to make the most of this how
ever. it is bored all over the sides
with holes about two inches in diam
eter, into each of which a plant of
some description is placed, in addi-
ton to those planted in the usual way
on the top, so that good display is
obtained in the minimum amount of
space. These barrels frequently look
very pretty and effective when all
the plants are in bloom.
The statement that there are gar
dens under bedclothes is supported
by no less an authority than that of
Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hole, dean of
Rochester. A district visitor in the
Midlands, when calling upon a poor
woman, noticed how few were the
coverings of her bed. Upon being
asked, she admitted that she had an
other blanket, and was demonstrated
with for not using it, as the weather
was bitterly cold. 1t at length tran
spired that her husband had taken it
to cover over some plants he was
rearing in tiny greenhouse, in the
hope of saving them from being
killed by the frost. Surely devotion
to flowers could hardly go much fur
Their than this.
Not a few suburban householders
usually find their gardens just out
side the scullery door, and they ex-
ercise their horticultural ingenuity
upon the tiny slips of ground in
which the considerate jerry builder
has carefully buried his superfu-
Gus half-bricks. In various parts of
the country, notably at Nottingham,
there are cottage gardens three miles
away from the residences of their
owners, so that when visitors are in
vited to come and have a look
around the garden" it means a some
what lengthy excursion. These small
allotments are, however, greatly ap-
preciated and carefully attended, de-
spite the fact that the time taken
in getting to and from them plays
sad havoc with their owners scanty
leisure.
OF gardens in cemeteries there ap-
pears to be only solitary example
in this country, the one which Sir
Joseph Paxton, of Crystal palace
fame, formed at Coventry. In the
United States, however, there are
many gardens of this kind, notably
at Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia,
and they might, with advantage, be
copied in our cemeteries.
Gardens may be made on open UNI
brellas as far as obtaining a sub
stantial crop of mustard and cress is
concerned. 1t is only necessary to
open the umbrella, wet it thoroughly,
and sprinkle the seed over it. If the
fabric is kept damp, the seed will
soon begin to sprout, and in a few
weeks a nice quantity of the salad
may be cut. The same thing may
be done in a dinner plate with the
aid of a strip of an old flannel shirt,
a piece of felt, or other similar cloth,
provided it is kept moist.

EurfurOI in Whisky.

Sir Lander Brunton and DIR. Zunni-
cliffe, conclude that the furfurol con-
stituent of whisky is that which causes
the violent headache of intoxication.
Experiments upon animals and man
demonstrated that furfurol has tenn
porary paralyzing action upon the vol
untary muscles, with commissions, fol-
lowed in man by throbbing headaches
for "a hours. In aging, the amount of
the furfurol in whisky grows less, and
hence old whisky causes less head
ache than fresh spirit. With a per-
fectly furfurol free whisky the secon-

A Cruel Wife Murder.

Viiliscia, Ia, June 15.-Mrs. Ida M.
Thiele was stabbed three times with
fatal results on the streets of this
city at noon yesterday, by her hus-
band, with whom she has not lived
for four years. He returned TO the
city few days ago, and meeting his
wife on the street yesterday, drew a
large knife, knocked the woman down
and plunged the fatal blade into her
body. The man was at once arrested
and taken to Red Oak to avoid vio-
lence, the angry citizens threatening
to lynch him on the spot.

Sylvania, Ga, June 15.-Arnold Au-

all negroes, were executed in the yard
of the county Jail of Screven county.
The drop fell at 1920. The necks
of four were broken by the fall. The
fifth died of strangulation.
The negroes bore up well. They
sang at the Jail and afterward
marched between a squad of soldiers
to the scaffold. Here they made a
short talk and received spiritual con-
ISOLATION. They then drank lemonade
furnished by the sheriff and thanked
him for his kindness to them. None
of the negroes said he was innocent
of the crime.

Story of the Crime.
These five negroes were convicted
of n murder committed under an al
legged criminal conspiracy by an or
ganiZed band of blacks known as
knights of the Archer" The motto
of the organization, it is said, was
Death to the Whites"
The murder for which the men died
was but the elimination of a long Sc
ries of crimes. 1t is common report
that the charter of this oath bound
organization was signed in blood,
and the leader, Andrew Mckinney, as
sembled his band only at night,
when he swore them, with awesome
rites, to secrecy and to deeds of
death and robbery.
On a night of October, 1899, Mil.
ton Mears, a constable of Screven
county; Fillmore Harrington and
Capt. Jesse Wade started out from
Sylvania to serve a warrant for the
arrest of Joe Sanders, a young negro
wanted for some trivial offense. No
sooner had they reached his house
than fusiladc began. From the
cracks between the logs of the cabin
and from a thicket of dwarf trees

Harrington and Meara were liter

escaped, but one after another, five

These were the men who met death.
The others, including Mckinney and
the real leaders of the Knights of the
Archer, successfully effected their es-
cape, and have never been captured.
