that England. France, Germany and

1.-THE British minister at Belgrade" he
said, had been instructed to do moth
ing that could possibly be construed
into a recognition Of the provisional
government, or of a successor OF the
late dynasty, France, Germany and
Italy are maintaining an attitude sim
liar to ours. Russia and Austria are
prepared to recognize the new regime.
The British minister has been fnstruc-

be present at the inauguration Of the
new reign"
- Charlotte Chronicle, Friday: Dick
Morse, who, never for a moment, for
gets the evil Of the liquor traffic, and
who persistently inveighs against the
church members who are luke-warm
in their efforts to suppress the busi-
ness, walked into the city editors Of
flee today, and said: IF the devil
could get converted and leave hell and
come to Charlotte, 1 know he would
get up petition, and try to get men to
sign it, to call an election to close the
saloons; and he would be dfsgusted
with many church members and the
excuses they gave for not signing It,
I would rather be the lowest down sa-
loon keeper in Charlotte than to be
church member and refuse to do any
thing that would help in any way to
put the liquor people out Of their hell
ish business. You can put me of, and
give me your flimsy excuses, but what
will you do when you have to give ac-
count to God? 1t will not be long un-
til you will have it to do"
Nashville, Indiana, disptach OF June
10: For over twenty-five years Brown
county has been without colored In
habitant, the Negro heretofore not be-
ing permitted to stop in this bailiwick.
Today the county has two Negroes
servants in the family Of Col. Calvert
OF Needmore, who recently came here
from Cleveland, o. Many children at
Needmore never before saw a colored
person, and the migrants are receiv-
ing a great deal Of speculative atten-
ton. Twenty-Five years ago "Nigger
Ned" a servant in the employ Of Judge
Heater was drowned while bathing In
the mill pond with a number OF white
boys. Ever since that time 1t has gone
the rounds among the colored people
in adjoining counties that "Nigger
Ned" was purposely drowned by his
white associates and since then, until
the present time, no Negro has at
tempted permanently to locate in the
county. Several years ago, however,
one did come here for a brief stay, but
when he discovered that the whites
were preparing to give him bull
ride" he disappeared.
The effort Of the Kentucky court
to mete out justice to Jett and
White, the two men who are charged
with the murder Of James 3. Marcum
came to an abortive ending last Fri
day. The jury failed to agree; but 1t
is understood that it stood II to 1 for
conviction, which under the circum-
stances was remarkable. Marcum was
shot from ambush by a concealed as
sassin some months ago, while he was
standing in the court house at Jack
son. Breathitt county has for years
been held in a state Of terror by feud-
lists. 1t was known that the feudists
were responsible for this assassination,
and it is pretty generally understood
that Jett and White are the men who
actually committed the murder; but
the great problem was how to secure a
conviction in a county where three
people out of five were partizans Of
one or the other Of the contending fac
tions. Several companies Of militia
were sent to Jackson during the trial;
but all the same the feudists managed
to keep everybody concerned in appre-
hension for their lives, and they burn
ed a hotel belonging to one Of the
principal witnesses against the de-
PENDANTS. Lawyers and witnesses re-
ceived notes Of warning, and there
were efforts to bribe jurors. Public
sentiment was stirred to such a high
pitch on both sides, and the passions
and predictions overshadowed the
sense Of right and justice to such an
extent that the right could have been
done only by accident. After the mis-
81
change of venue to Cynthiana, Harri-
son county, hundred miles away, and
the prisoners were sent to Lexington
under an escort Of soldiers. 1t is un-
be stationed at Jackson for some time,
in order to prevent, if possible, such
violence as may have been dictated by
a desire to get even. The trial Of the
case, and the feud has engaged the at
tention Of almost the entire country,
and law-abiding people everywhere
are puzzled to know how the knotty
problems involved are to be solved.
Canyon City, Col, dispatch June
%: Kirch Kuykendall, a convict at
the state penitentiary was shot and
killed when attempting to escape with
five other desperate prisoners. Az Dr.
