STAGE COACH ROBBED

NEGRO BURNED AT STAKE
The Horrible Fate Of a Murderer a,
Corinth, Mise.


Corlath, Mise.
CoTfnth, Mrs, Sept 20. Writing
In the flames Of fagots piled high by
hundreds Of citizens, Tom Clark. alias
VIII Gibson, q young negro, was
burned at the stake here yester-
day. Clark had confessed TO one of
the most atrocious assaults and muir
ders in the history of Mississippi and
said that he deserved his awful fate.
On August 10 last Mrs. Carrie Whit
field, the wife of a well-known citizen.
was found dead IN her home. Inves-
tgation showed that the lady had been
assaulted. Her head was practically
severed from her body.
The prisoner heavily manacIed, was
taken from the jail by posse of armed
men and followed by a large crowd
was led to the east gate Of the negro
cemetery, which is situated in the west
ern part OF the city. Faggots and wood
had been piled high around the stake
and the negro was securely fastened
to the iron rod. Clark was asked II
he cared to make statement. He said
that he deserved the fate prepared for
him and asked that letter be deliv-
cred to his mother and brother. He
appealed to his brother to raise his
children properly. admonishing them
to beware of evil companions. Finally
the word was given to fire the pile.
The husband and brother OF Clark's
victim stepped forward and applied
torches, and In a moment the flames
leaped upward, enveloping the trem-
bling negro In smoke and fire. The
clothing OF the doomed man was soon
ignited and as the flames grew hotter
his skin began to parch. The negro
moaned piteously at this mncture and
the agoniZed look on his face told OF
the torture he was undergoing. FL
nally his head fell forward ON his
breast and In a few minutes he was
dead. The flames were fed by the
crowd until the body was burned to a
crisp. Then the gathering discussed
in an orderly manner and the town
soon assumed It's normally quiet con-
dition.

lating the laws for years were permit
ted to practically dictate their own
terms and enjoy wine supper in the
City jail to while away the hours Of
their incarceration, they saw no reason
why they should not be accorded sim
liar favor.
When two white contractors admit
ted in open court that they had sworn
falsely and had testified TO lies before
the grand jury, and no warrant was
sworn out, but the men guilty of PERU
~ were permitted to be undisturbed;
the colored brother rolled his eyes once
more in establishment and wondered
what kind of legal dispensary we
have in this city any way.
These are a few of the white men who
could have been rightfully incarcerated
in Jail without bail Cooped up on the
railroads of the commonw ealth, denied
the right of admission to places holding
public franchise, robbed Of his right
TO vote, he has now taken from him his
right to liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness.
These men incarcerated in Jail have
not been tried. They have not been adj
judged guilty of a felony and we must
confess that we are astounded at the
far reaching effect of their summary re-
moval from all utilization with their
friends in this community.
If colore men have no right to fire
revolvers in the streets of the city, then
white men have no right to fire them,
aud if colored ones are arrested and
punished for attempting to prevent a
lynching, then white men should be ar
rested and punished for attempting a
lynching.
We believe that the sober-minded,
kind-hearted white Virginians. who
know the class of colored people who
have been arrested will be heard from
and all things will yet come right in
their own time.

total comprises 7SS,S09 soldiers and
260,6S7 widows and dependents. The
aggregate includes 1895 pensioners
outside the United States.
The report says that the death rate
among the pensions for the coming
year will be about 10000 and the losses
to the rolls from other causes will be

A HALT DEMANDED.

THERE is no doubt about it--deter-
mined and persistent efforts must be
made by the better class of colored peo-
pie to restrain and curb that element
of colored people, who seem devoid of
home training and stranger to the
ordinary rules of politeness. The
tough" must be made to know that he
is not only injuring himself; but large
portion of our cultured, intelligent,
Christian colored people, who are MAX
ing a reputation for themselves and
those around them.
We confess that we have no patience
with these disturbers. White people
have amongst them similar elements,
but their actions do not react upon white
people in the way that they do upon
colored people. If we could have in our
midst a uniformly courteous element of
eolorsd people upon all occasions, they
would do more to create favorable i'm
preston and Tighten our burdens than
all of the spahes and dissertations
that we migh liver in years time.

not deny that indirectly the person he
represented might be authorized TO
speak for the coal companies. The in,-
preston at strike headquarters Is that
the mysterious man in the case Is one

and that he stands very close to p. A.
