WHITES ANGRY AT
 TURN OF AFFAIRS
LAW FAILS TO REACH MEMBERS OF LEE COUNTY "REFOR= pAN CLUB" AND PRISONERS ARE ALL RELEASED.

Opehka, September o.-(5pecial)-T six negroes who have beeen held in the county jail charged with conspiracy to burglarize, the preliminary trial having been set for today, are at liberty They are part of what has been considered a Before Day" club, existing in this coun- ty. The knowledge of whose existence Is based upon the confession of two of the number held for trial. The first defend ant placed upon the stand was Ella Peter son, whose connection with the affair was not shown. Testimony of the confession was ruled out, because of the failure to connect the defendant with the alleged crime, and this shut out practically all the evidence the state had to offer. De- fendant was there upon pronounced not guilty, and, upon the request of the states attorney the rest of the cases were mol pressed and the prisoners dis charged.
 There were many of the citizens from the region round about Chewacle, where the attempt to enter the house of Mrs M. A. Plott was made, and great tndig- nation is felt over the failure of the law to reach the alleged criminals. Promi- nent citizens from that section freely stated this afternoon that this would un- doubtedly by the last case of the kind to be brought up to the court, and other means would be found of handling them. 1t is feared that there will be further trouble between the whites and blacks of that section.

House of R. L. Leatherwood is
 Set on Fire,
THREATS HAVE BEEN MADE
Incendiarles Thought Mrs. Leather wood Wae Sleeping In House, But She Was at a Neighbors.
 Loss Is About S1o,ooo.

Enemies of Attorney R. L. Leather wood attempted to murder his wife last night by setting fire to their residence on Twenty-second street and Thirteenth avenue, north, while he was out or the city. The incendiaries evidently thought that they would catch Mrs. Leatherwooo In the house unprotected and that she might be burned to death
 Owing to MT. Leatherwoods being out of the city, Mrs. Leatherwood was spend- Ing the night with a nelghbor next door, and therefore escaped. The house and all the contents are complete loss, amounting to about s1O,00O in all with only about 5000 insurance on the build ing and contents.
 For the past few days a number of threats have been made against the Leatherwoods over the telephone They have been informed that If they did not leave the city they would be killed and their house would be burned over their heads. They have been unable to ascer- tain who was making the threats, but as soon as Mrs. Leatherwood heard last night that the house was on fire she at once exclaimed that the enemies of herself and her husband had set 1t afre,
 The house was evidently fired from near the top. It had been burning about half an hour when discovered, and by the time the fire apparatus could reach ii the roof was falling in. There was a very poor water supply, and the department was effective only in saving surrounding property. The fire was discovered about 1:30 o'clock
 Chief Mullin stated that the place was evidently set on fire by some one, and that he thought from the second floor, az when he arrived the top part of the house was burning and the lower portion was just catching.
 The residence was valued at ssoOO and the furniture at about s400o, while all the insurance was $100O on both house and contents. Mrs. Leatherwood was nearly prostrated with the excitement last night.

Jackson, Miss, September S.-The state of Mississippi has in it's treasury $l.56, and there is no relief in sight. Much doubt is expressed in official cir cles whether a firm of New York and Chicago brokers, who recently pur- chased state bond issue of half a million dollars, will pay for them, and the banks of the state seemingly are unwilling to advance money for imme- diate use.
 No payments of taxes are due for thirty days, and proposed special session of the legislature could not bring relief within that period.

 Average Expenditures.
 During MT. Clevelands first term the annual expenditure was about $269, 900 GOO. For the past three years 1t has been about $519,000,000. The governmental ex- penditures last year amounted up to s5S2. OO000o. which Is not equaled by any year since the civil war with the excep- ton of the year of the Spanish war.
 There is an inevitable result to such extravaganza. Instead of a surplus in the annual receipts of about $50, ,0000 900, which the present executive found on assuming control, there is now deficit to be found there of $42000,000.
 Reform is necessary, aye far more necessary than in 1876 in the scale of public expenses, and when convinced of this you will do less than your duty if you fasl. to make the people undestand 1t.
