MURDER AND ARSON
NEGRO SOUGHT TO HIDE ONE
CRIME WITH THE OTHER.
STRUCK DOWN A WOMAN.
THEN THREW OIL ABOUT AND SET
HOUSES ON FIRE.

One Residence mt Macon Totally De-
strOyed by the Flames, and Two
Others Were Partially Burned.
Woman Was Found by the Fire
men I'm n House at the Rear of the
Reside nee That Was Destroyed.
She Was Almost Dead-Taken to
the Hospital and Partially Re-
vived, She Told the Story of How
the Crime Was Perpetrated.
Macon, March 2S.-A brutal muir
der was attempted tonight, and it
seems a miracle that the attempt was
not successful. A great cudgel and
a large knife, each, in itself, seeming
ly sufficient to cause death, were en-
ployed by negro fiend who sought
to murder his sweetheart. Fearing
that they might not have accomplished
mis- foul deed, and seeking, too, to hide
the evidence of his crime, the man then
set fire to the house and caused a con-
fiagration that destroyed one residence
and partially burned two others.
1t was about midnight that fire was
discovered at the residence of Albert
Cllman, on New street, near the City
Hospital An alarm was sent in, and
the department soon responded.
The spread of the flames was rapid,
despite the work of the firemen.
Neighboring residences of w. H. Minor
and F. c. Grierson took fire. Both were
extinguished before they became total
losses, but the Ullman residence was
destroyed, entailing loss of about
$4,000. Each of the other residences
was valued at that amount.
While fighting the flames the fire.
men burst in the door of a house on
the rear Of the Ullman premises. There
they found Mary Brooks, colored, the
Ullman's cook, a faithful servant, who
had been with them for years, lying
on the floor, with flames playing about
her. She was almost dead. Her head
was crushed. and there was a terrible
knife wound in her side. Scattered
about her room and upon the portions
of the residences that were not de-
stroyed were found traces of kerosene
oil, plainly indicating the incendiary
origin of the fire.
Mary Brooks was taken to the hospi-
tai, where she told the following story
as soon as she had been sufficiently re-
vived:
William Gary, a colored man. to
whom 1 was engaged, came to see me
at my house. We had a quarrel. He
seized great stick of wood and struck
me down with it. Then he stabbed
me. He thought he had killed me, and
he got the oil can and went to work
to cover up the crime. He poured the
oil all about and set it on fire. Fasten-
ing the door to my house, he left
The police at once started to work.
Knowing Gary, they are seeking him.

BUREAUS RIVER BULLETIN.

Washington, March 2S.-The Missis-
sippi river continues to fall from Hell
ena to Cairo, and it about on a stand

about five miles below Greenville, no
further rise is expected to the north
ward.
Stages at Arkansas City and Green

previous high-water records of 1897
Below Greenville the flood crest will be
somewhat prolonged, as the crevasse
water must come back to the Missis-
sippi by way of the Mississippi river.
The crevasse near Lucy, La, on the
west side, is now about $50 feet in
width, and large area of sugar cane
land has been inundated. Strenuous
efforts are being made to close this
break. Thus far, it's effects upon the
river below have been limited to a fall

CONCESSION is MADE.
Oflcial of the brotherhood Is Admit
ted to Conference.

New Haven, Conn, March 2S.-The
action of President John NJ. Hall of
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad in inviting the Griev-
ance Committee of the trainmen of the
system to another conference Monday
and agreeing that Valentine FitZpat-
rick third vice president of the train
mems brotherhood shall take part in
the conference is believed to have
cleared, for the present at least, what
was fast becoming a very critical stu
alton.
Heretofore the road management has
declined to meet a representative of
the national organization of the train
men in the discussion of a schedule of
wages and runs and has dealt only
with committee of the employees.
Just what effect the admission of Mr..
Fitzpatrick to the list of conferees will
have on the situation cannot be fore
told, but the men hail it as indicat-
ing distinct change of attitude on the
part of the road management, and as
a concession to their wishes.

The sledging parties of the British
Antarctic ship Discovery, whose ex-
periences were reported by the relief

ardous work. The dash southwark of
Capt Scott of the Discovery, as a re-
suit of which he reached lat. 81 II,
south, was attended by great hard
ships and extra strain. The softened
snow told quickly on the dogs, which
all died.
The party had only a months pro-
visions when they left the southern
most depot, and therefore it was inn
possible to continue southwark with
out inviting disaster. The return jour
ney was most trying. The party were
on short rations for five days. and
their progress was seriously impeded
by fog. Lieut.. Shackleton burst blood
vessel in one of his lungs, and only
his pluck pulled him through.
The crew of the Discovery are de-
scribed as having palpably aged. ow-
ing to hard living, but all are we'll and
cheerful.
Another party, under Lieut.. Barnes,
was returning from a sledge journey
towards Cape Crozier, when a bliz-
card struck them, ten miles from the
ship. He abandoned his tents and
sledges and left the dogs to find their
own way to the ship.
Owing to a binding snow, Barnes
and his companions were unable to
see two yards ahead. While they were
descending a slope one of the party
disappeared, and the members of the
expedition discovered themselves to be
on the edge of a huge precipice. An
other member of the party fell from
sheer WEAKNESS, and was not missed
for some time and he was eventually
given up as lost by those of his COM
panions who searched for him. But
II developed tnat the man slept I'M
der a drift for thirty-six hours, and
he rejoned the ship unframed
The members of another sledge ex-
petition, under Lieut.. Armitage, which
went westward, were away ffty-two
days. They attained an altitude of
5000 feet and descended on an ice slide
TO a glacier, 5000 feet below. The de-
scent was perilous. The sledges at one
part of the descent covered 1900 feet
in a minute and ten seconds, their oc-
cupants hanging on by straps to the
backs of the sledges. Lieut.. Armitage
fell into a crevasse.. and hung thirty
feet below the sufAce. But for the
fact that he was harnessed to the 9TH
ers he would have fallen 1000 feet.
At Cape Adair, the Discovery found
Borchgrevink' huts in good state of
preservation.
There were some cases of scurvy dur
ing the sledge journeys. but they dis
appeared on the return of the sufferers
to their ship.
There were many complaints about
the timed provisions.
The places of Lieut.. Shackleton and
the others returned here on the Morn
ing were not filled, as Capt. Scott still
has forty-one men in the crew on

Traffic Is SusDended.

Vicksburg. Miss, March 2S-As a re-
suit of the crevasse at La Grange and
Albermarle. traffic on the Vicksburg-
Greenville and the Riverside divisions
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Road has been entirely suspended. an
orde" annulling all trains having been
issued this morning.
Water from the break has spread
rapidly and there is hardly a dry spot
between here and Greenville. Under
such conditions and with a large negro
population which lives from hand to
mouth, much suffering is sure to fol-
low. Conditions in the overlooked dis
tricts are deplorable in the extreme.
The river here fell two-tenths dur
ing the twenty-four ending at Z D. M.
but this fall will be checked in a day
or two. as the water from the La
Grange crevasse will find its way back
into the Mississippi at this point
through the Yazoo river.

WEIGHT OF SENTIMENT
AGAINST MRS. GRIFFIN,
Apparently Concluded She Knows
Who Killed Her Husband.


Eatonton. Ga, March 2S.-One of the
most remarkable and far-reaching
features of the Griffin murder case is
the fact that the public sentiment in
the community in which the crime was
committed is almost wholly against
Mrs. Griffin and her brother, Sam
Knowles. The people who know them
best, with whom they have associated
and lived, are almost unanimous in the
belief that John Griffin came to his
death at the hands of those to whom
he should have been most dear.
The officers of the law and the at
torneys for the state, so far, have
nothing but circumstantial evidence
duplicating these parties, and they
realize that bitter fight is going to be
made by the defendants counsel for
the freedom of the accused. Have
their neighbors more than this of which
the public generally are ignorant?
NO! None of these. AS the old fell
low said when pressed to the wall with
questions: when l knows a thing, l
knows 1t. 1t might have been i'm
possible for him to tell how he knew it.
when he got his information and where
or to follow step by step the psyche
logical process in arriving at his con-
clusion, but. all the same, he knew il.
and he stuck to it.
So with these people in this affair.
They are charitable and law abiding.
and they deeply sympathize with the
accused, but they are convinced they
are right, and nothing will ever change
them. 1t is a little here, a little there:
word heard here, and whisper there;
an act performed here, one left undone
there; an intimation here, an insinua-
ton there; all these, disconnected and
standing alone perhaps, mean 10th
ing, but taken together and connect ed.
