HIGH PRAISE FOR CHARLES 0. BARLOW.
 Editor Charles Whittlesey Pickett pays the following high tribute to a former resident of this town: The next cashier of the Yale National bank of New Haven will be Charles c. Bar low of Bridgeport, who will begin this service February 1. MT Barlow is A years old and has been Actively and continuously engaged in bank work since 1880, starting as the assistant of the late A. B. Mygatt, then National Bank examiner in charge of National banks of Connecticut and Rhode Is- land. During the four years he was with Examiner Mygatt, MT Barlow made expert examination of the con- dition of all the banks in these two states and, of course, became very fa- miliar with all the details of bank &C., counts. So highly did MT Mygatt es- teem him that in 1884 he made him teller of the First National bank of New Milford, of which he (Mygatt) was president. MT Barlow continued as teller of the New Milford bank sev- en years, popular with all who knew him, faithful and efficient in service, trusted and respected by all. In 1891 he was offered the position of teller of the Pequonnock National bank of
 Bridgeport, and accepted it because the salary was materially greater than it was possible for the New Milford bank to pay. He has been with the Pequonnock bank continuously since 1891, period of 13 years, during which he has made host of friends in Bridgeport and the respect of all who have made his acquaintance. Of pleasing personality, almost quarter of century of experience, unusual ex- ecutive ability and the full strength of comparatively young manhood, MT Barlow combines all the ideal qualifi- cations which should be possessed of bank officer of large responsibilities and both he and the Yale bank may we'll be congratulated, he because he is to become identified with one of New Haven's most popular an successful institutions, and the bank because suc- cessful in securing a cashier fully ripened by experience, although com paratively young in years, and of prov ed capacity and executive ability. MT Barlow has been chosen from among about 50 applicants, which in itself is evidence that his qualifications are re- garded as unusual. Having known Mir Barlow since boyhood we feel war ranted in saying that he is fully wor- thy of the high endorsements given him and of the good opinion the Yale bank officials have formed of him.

TAKEN FROM THEIR cAPToRs BY
AN ARKANSAS MOB AND .,
SHOT TO DEATH. f#..<
Men Were Arrested in Connection
With a Recent Race Riot in Which
Four Colored Men Were Killed In a
Fight With a Posse Of Whites.
Trouble Began Over Trivial Matter
Between a White Man and Neuro.

Little Rock, Ark, March 26.-A spe.
cial from Dewitt, Arkansas county,
says:
Five negroes, who had been arrest
ed as result of the race trouble at
St. Charles, this county, were taken
from the guards Friday night by a
crowd of men and shot to death.
The victims were: Jim. Smith, Char
ley Smith, Mac Baldwin, Abe Bailey
and Garrett Flood.
This makes nine negroes that have
been killed within the past week in
the vicinity of St. Charles on account
Of racial troubles.
few days ago a quarrel began
over a trivial matter at st. Charles
between a white man named Searcy
and two negroes named Henry and
Walker Griffin.
On Monday last the two negroes
met Searcy and his brother in a store
in st. Charles and the quarrel was re-
neWed. One OF the negroes struck
both OF the Searcy brothers over the
head with table leg, rendering them
unconscious and fracturing their
skulls. Deputy Sheriff Kirkpatrick
attempted to arrest the negro and was
knocked down.
The negroes then gathered and de-
fed the officers, declaring that mo
white man could arrest them.'
Citizens Were Terrorized.
Their demonstrations aroused the
fears of the citizens Of St. Charles
and they telephoned to this place to
come out and protect the town. Depu-
ty Sheriff Douglas went out with five
men Wednesday morning. Consta-
BILE T.. C. McNeeley went forward with
Griffin negroes. The constable met
three negroes-Randall Flood, Will
Baldwin and Will Madison, in the
road. The negroes attempted to
draw their pistols, but the posse fired
killing all three of them.
Thursday sixteen men left this
place for the scene of the trouble.
Large crowds gathered in from Roe,
Ethel and Clarendon. While the
sheriff's posse was searching for the
Griffin negroes they were fired upon
from ambush by negro named
Aaron Sinton. Three of the posse
were hit and slightly wounded The
negro was shot dead.
Five other negroes, Jim Smith,
Charles Smith. Mack Baldwin,, Abe
Bailey and Garrett Flood, the negroes
that had defied the officers, were ar.
rested and crowd of men took them
away from the guards and shot them
to death.
1t is reported that the Griffin boys
have been captured. If so it probably
means that two more negroes will be
killed. Everything at St. Charles is
quiet, hut the town is heavily guarded
On Saturday the Griffin boys and two
other negroes were lynched, making
thirteen victims of the mob within a
week
