says:
Ernest Deewly, a negro who shot
and seriously wounded Harry Dowell,
young white man, at Custom, about
miles from this place, was hanged
by a mob at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing and his body was riddled with bull
let's. The mob arrived here early from
the Custom neighborhood and demand
ed admission to the Jail where Deewly
was confined. The jailer refused to
give up the keys and the mob battered
down the doors and secured the ne
gro, whom they carried about a mile
and half from town, where they
hanged him to tree. After he had
strangled to death the mob riddled his
body with bullets and then quietly dis
persed.
The shooting which caused the
lynching took place yesterday after
noon. Deewly had been elected from
Frank PickeraIs saloon at Custom, and
later meeting Pickeral at the railroad
station opened fire on him. The shots
flew wild, however and struck Harry
Dowell, a bystander, seriously wound
ing him.

Rome, April 3O-The officers of the

Chicago, April 30.-The business of
Chicago packers has been staggered
by the refusal of the people of the
country to eat meat at the prevailing
high prices, according to The Chroni-

The demand for dressed meats in
the last few days has fallen off 80 1-3
per cent and the discharge of men in
the packing houses is general.
According to admissions of promi.
nent packers, this alarming condition
prevails all over the yards. In nearly
all the big plants large numbers of
men are being laid off and the packing
business is in a state of demoraliza-
tion such as it has not experienced in
years.
The shipments of dressed beef from
the yards have SO decreased during
the last ten days that cars are piling
up in the railroad yards.
Shipments of cattle have been cur.
tailed by the packers, The Chronicle
says, and every branch of the great
industry is suffering from the present
critical situation. The only hope for
restoration is in cutting the prices.
