The Court of Sessions convened IN
Laursns yesterday with eight muir
der cases on the docket.

Three white men and eight negroes
we're killed IN a race riot at Little,
ton, near Birmingham, Ala, Sunday
night. The riot was caused by sew
eral negroes attacking a white woman,
and the refusal of the negroes in the
community to deliver the assailants
to a posse of white men. The ne
groes have captured q powder maya
zine, are strongly fortified, and are
determined to resist all attempts at
arrest. Further loss of life will
probably result.

ing the re-dedicaTion of the prison
chapel. In the morning he spoke TO
the convicts and the guards and their
families He presented some phases
of the prodigal son. taking the text
from Luke l5:Is. He treated the story
in new and original manner, and
make an evident impression on his
audience. He put the question in
a logical form and brought tears to the
eyes of many of the boys, who are
spending their lives behind the BAR,
by referring 30 pathetically to wives,
mothers and sisters. who are deserted
for the society of harlots.

The chapel was filled with people
from rhe best society the city affords

sermon was free and general, but
very little criticism of an adverse

full of old superstitious beliefs as
any of their ancestors could have

swaying of the masts in a motionless
atmosphere sometimes causes a ne

That all sailors that die by drowning
