EXPLODING STOVE
SHATTERED WINDOWS

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
stove in a house on Habersham street
exploded, the force of the explosion
shattering every glass in the room in
which it occurred. The sound could
be heard a block away. A. L. Pitts,
driver of the police patrol, rushed to
the house at once, and found that the
explosion had injured the lady who
was cooking. She was slightly cut by
the window glass. Beyond this and
the breaking of the window, no DAM
age was done.

UNIVERSAL WILL SELL OUT.
order of Court VIII Direct Tobacco
ComDnny Sale.


New York Aug. 015.-Attorney Gen
eral Robert II. McCarter Of New Jer-
sey, as counsel for the Universal To-
bacco Company, made an application
to Vice Chancellor Stevenson I'm Jer-
sey City to-day for an order directing
the sale Of the assets OF the company
within nine days. The petition pre-
sented by McCarter was signed by the
trustees. who were appointed by the
court to formulate a plan for the dis
solution Of the company. The APP
pointment Of the trustees was the out
come of a suit begun by f.. A. meal
pin and others several months ago for
the appointment Of receivers for the
Universal Tobacco Company.
James y. Veidenberg. representing
McAlpin, asked the court to order the
sale in not less than thirty days. The
court ordered that the sale should take
place ten days after the date of send
ing out the notices, and said that in
the order he would make he would di-
rect that the sale be by separate los,
and that the Commonwealth Tobacco
Company should stipulate that the
sale should be absolute.
The Commonwealth Company has
been closely identified with the Uni
versal Company The Universal Com
panys assets include plants In New
York and Richmond. Va.

their excellent conduct so far, and eau
toned them to let no outsiders incte
them to acts of violence. He said that
acts of violence in the execution of
guilty parties brought the law on
level with crime. He said that while
the whole country would uphold the
law, no one would uphold mob vio-
lenee.
In conclusion, he said I'm view of
the fact that the attorney who was en-
gagged in this case did not appear l
am forced to appoint counsel for the
defendants. 1t would have been bet
ter. perhaps, had Mr.. Myrick, who l
understand was engaged, to have been
present, as then thu members of the
local bar would have been saved much
embarrassment. But, gentlemen, l
want to say that the law requires that
all practitioners at the bar have the in
cumbence placed on them Of rendering
their services to any one unable to
retain counsel, and that these attor-
neys who will take part in this defense
are but doing their duty, which they
swear to do when they are admitted to
practice in the courts of the country"

negroes on trial there on the charge
of the murder of the Hodges family.
Within two minutes time the Big

some of the fire companies mistook
the signal for a fire CALL and sent

pretending Others.
Statesboro. Ga, Aug. 15.-It can be
stated almost positively that the
prisoners now in Jail charged with the
murder of the Hodges family are in
no immediate danger of being lynch
ed, at least by those men who are
usually the most dangerous.
The chief restraining factor is that
the summary execution of Cato and
Reed would lessen the chances of ap-
pretending others who, though not di-
rect participants in the crime. were
virtually guilty as instigators through
the tenets of the Before Day Club.
Since Saturday the authorities have
gathered much evidence which will
lead to the arrest of other parties,
and evidence has been secured, which,
it is believed, will be the basis Of
indictments against witnesses now held
i'm Jail. Those i'm position to know
freely expressed their opinion tonight
that when the case was finally sifted
it would be found that these were di-
rectly implicated in the crime. The
grand jury will meet tomorrow to in
vestigate other charges.

Capt. r. NJ. Hitch of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry and Lieuts. Nell and
McIntire, were assembling. and sixty
men started for the Union Station just
thirty minutes after the call had been
sounded.
Large Crowd on Hand.
When the company arrived at the
Union Station there was a very large
crowd of the curious gathered in and
around the place. Clearing way
through the crowd just outside the
gates, the company marched to the
train, and after a moments delay were
ordered on board by Capt. Hitch.
1t was just fifty minutes after the
call had been received until the special
was speeding away to Statesboro,
where the troops arrived two hours la
ter.

At the meeting of the First Regi-
ment last night Col. Grayson notified
the men that a repetition of the sig
nal that was agreed upon for yester-
day would mean for all the members
to Immediately assemble at the ar
mory. The commands outside of the
First Regiment are to pay no attention

Four taps on the Big Duke, to be
repeated five time, is the signal.
If it is sounded it will be a signal
that the Governor has called for more
troops. The entire regiment will as
sennble at once.
The additional call, it 4 is thought,
will not be made unless there is Sc
rfous trouble. and in that case the
services of the entire regiment would
probably be required.
Col Grayson last night shipped
lot of blankets and other articles to
Statesboro for the company already
there. Il is not known how long the
men will be kept at Statesboro, and
they are being prepared for any
emergency.

on all sides it is believed that there
would have been some opposition to
any such move.
The crowd assembled in Statesboro
to-day was the largest that has ever
visited the city at one time on a SINH

of strangers at 5000, but there were
hardly this number. Tonight every

that the case will consume as mach

of one of the negro women who was
whipped by a party of men last night
was called from his house tonight
and given a dose of the same medi-

The occasion for this was the fact
that the negro knew some of the MEM

daughter for pushing two little white
girls off the sidewalk and came TO
Statesboro to-day to engage a lawyer
to prosecute the men. News of this
spread abroad.
Another negro, who accompanied
the girls father to Statesboro, was
also whipped. it having been learned

had to be urged frequently to speak
louder. After finishing he stood on
the stand for five minutes without
saying word, all the while his face
working convulsively as though he
wanted to speak, but the words stuck
in his throat.
Brief Argument in Defense.
An agreement was reached among
the attorneys that there was to be
but one argument on each side. Many
thought that the case would be sub
mitted without argument, but the
prosecution objected to this.

Col. Strange for the state spoke
about half an hour and at the close
OF his argument Judge Daley charged
the jury briefly as to their duties in
the case. After eight minutes the
verdict of guilty was returned.
On motion of the prosecution it was
decided to try the prisoners separately
in order that the wife of each might
testify against the others, as their
evidence was the most valuable to the
state. Cato being the first mentioned
in the bill, he was tried first
