THAT GEORGIA HORROR.

THE horrible burning of the two co.,
ored men at the stake at Statesborc,
Georgia. August 10th, was followed by
che shooting of ALBERT ROBERTS and
his son, who reside in the neighbor-
hood. He was one of the most respect
ed colored men in that vicinity and the
white people who know him best
re outspol1en in their denunciation of
those who thus wantonly shot him.
Another colored man was found dead
IN the roadside, five miles east of States-
boro. He had been shot in two places
with Winchester rifle. Colored peo-
pie throughout the neighborhood have
been logged numerically and ordered
TO leave. 1t is openly stated that color
ed men and women were marked for
lynching. One colored man was to be
punished because he made disrespect.
ful protest against white supremacy in
Georgia.
There is no resistance on the part of
the colored people in question
A large consignment of buggy-whips
were received.
Rev. STUDIES, (white) pastor of the
church called a meeting of the elders
for the purpose of having expelled all
members who participated in the burn.
ing Of the colored men, REED and CARO-.
Sheriff KENDRICK went to Oliver,
Georgia, to bring back a colored man
named LoNNIE WILLIAMS, presumed to
be concerned in the murders. When
he reached the place, he found that
WILLIAMS had been shot. although it
afterwards developed that he was not
concerned in the affair at all and was
not the man wanted.
Yet, with all of this, offers of assist
ance were made from Brunswick, Val
dosta and other Georgia points for the
purpose of subduing the colored people,
who had been so ANONYMOUSLY slaught-
cred and the others who were fleeing
for their lives.
OF course, there has been an almost
universal condemnation of the outrage
and the southern press has been out
spoken in its condemnation of the
lynchers.
The question arises, however, as to
whether a sheriff has the lawful right
TO disarm and manacle a prisoner and
surrender him to mob, bent on taking
the life of the prisoner
Is prisoner justified in resisting ar
rest when he knows that the sheriff
AE~esting him is both unable and un-
ling to protect the life of the man
rusted to his keeping?
ech man will answer these questions
himself. For our part, we insist
it is as well to die with the ague
ii the fever" 1t is far better to
ed while resisting a sheriff than
drawn, quartered, hanged and
by mob of white demons, who

MOB SHOOTS AND
BURNS A NEGRO
He Criminally Assaulted a White
Girl at CedartOwn, Ga.
CONFESSED WHEN IDENTIFIED

Cedartown, Ca, Aug. %. - Jim
fc., CIR. a negro, was shot to death
near the hSme of the white girl he had
assaulted, ana his body dragged a dis
lance of about "a mile into this city
and burned at the Stake on the public
square. n mob estimated at 500 COM
posed the shooting ld burning party.
The crime for which the negro was
thus punished was that of committing
criminal assault upon Levia Reeves.
the 13-year-old daughter OF a we'll
known farmer.
The true story OF the crime is the
most revolving that had ever been
given TO the public from this imme-
date section of the country. After the
httle girl had protected the negro from
the attack of a large dog owned by her
father, he followed her to the pasture
where she was taking a COW. caught
her, choked her into insensibility and
left her bleeding and unconscious in
corn field.
Bloodhounds had been on the Negroes
track all day, and he was captured
some distance away, carried to the
home OF the girl, who unhcsitatingly
Identified him as her assailant. and
taken by the crowd some distance
from the girls home and shot to death.
The negro confessed his guilt Imme-
iiately the crowd took him away from
the posse which had captured him. and
his body was riddled with bullets.
The crowd continued to gather. and
when the march back to the town
with the dead body in tow began 1t ap-
peared as if fully 1000 persons had
joined the procession. BY the time the
crowd reached Cedartown several hun
dred more had been added to the
crowd. About 1000 persons witnessed
the burning as best they could in the
bright moonlight on the most conspic-
uous place on Main street
The town is in a fever of excite
ment, but it is thought no trouble will
follow.

New York, A-g. 24.-Mrs. Florence
G. Maybrick, recently released from
prison in England, who arrived in New
York from Antwerp on the steamer
Vaderland, travelled under the name
of Mrs. Rose Ingraham, and was &C
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel V.
Hayden, Mr.. Hayden being her attor-
ney.
The immigration authorities made no
attempt to question Mrs Maybrick. and
the customs officers did all in their
power to expedite the taking of her
declaration and the passing of her bag
gage. Deputy Surveyor Bishop had met
the ship down the bay and took charge
OF things, and a special inspector was
detailed to examine her baggage in her
stateroom.
She left the pier on the arm of Mr..
Hayden. What the curious crowd saw
was slight. short woman, with a thin.
worn face and a mass of brown hair
The simple gown of small black and
white pattern of silk fitted her closely
and was fastened at the waist with a
wide black belt. The only bit Of color
in her costume was heliotrope ribbon
and flower of the same hue as her
hat. She was unveiled and smiled at
the staring crowd. During the voyage
across Mrs. May brick appeared a few
times at meals and in the cabin. but
remained most of the time in her cabin
She was met at the dock by n few close
friends, and was driven directly to a
hotel, and after brief rest will make
trip to the CatSkillS before her con-
templated journey south
Mr. Hayden acknowledged that Mrs.
Maybrick was about to proceed in her
suit for lands in Virginia and other
states, which are said to be valuable
but declined to refer to the answer to
the suit in which it is alleged that Mrs
Maybrick has no claim to the property.
and that the bringing OF the suit was a
trick to hasten the woman's release.
Mrs. Maybrick refused to be inter
viewed bat gave out the following
statement:

SHOOTING IN THE DARK
Brill Addition Woman Thinks It's At-
 tempted Assassination.

. A woman living in Brilrs addition believes that systematic. persistent attempt is being made to assassinate her and her children. She has no idea who the miscreant is, but she knows that on Saturday night her home was bOmbarGed with what she believes to be shot gun and that the same thing ocurred last night.
 At a late hour she telephoned to the sheriff's office about it but there was a lack of eXplicitness about where the seat of trouble was and the officers were unable to locate it.
 The woman said that after each shot she heard missiles rattling gainst the building. Aside from the theory of meditated murder which to her seems the most reasonable she can only imag- inc that somebody is shooting at a dog which the shooter believes is on line between the end of the gun and the house of the complainant.
 But it makes no difference which is the correct theory for it would hurt the woman and her children just as much to be killed by a shot aimed at @ dog in the darkness as if it were aimed direct ly at them.
 This nightly assault upon the house will receive an investigation today and if the shooter can be located he will be asked to show his license to discharge deadly weapons within the corporate limits of Phoenix. He will also be re- minded that the open season for dogs has not set in yet and he will further be informed that he is not the officia! dog catcher.

KANSAS CITY MARKTFS
A Review of Prices and Conditions Of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 24.-There
 was a liberal supply of fed western
 stceFc and she stuff last week. First
 of the week fed steers, both light and
 heavy weights, sold at $4.25 to $40.
 By Wednesday they were 15 or 20
 cents lower, but this loss was regained before the week closed. On Friday some nice Sl5- pound steers sold ct iS4l5. Western and Southwestern stockers and feeders were plentiful and generally sold strong. A big string of Idaho feeders sold Wednesday at
 $4.10 and $4.15, weighing I14S and 973
 pounds respectively. On Thursday a string of Nebraska fed Wyoming cows, , 1899 pounds. sold at $3.75 and were considered strong. Oklahoma heifers
 sold up to S3.70. Supply today is 6,G0O head at Kansas City, but owing to the big run of 40,000 head at Chicago, prices are lower here. Steers are af- fected the most, she stuff and stockers and feeders being about steady. Some 72i-pound Colorado heifers sold yester- day at s4.2O, fully steady, and Colorado feeders 935 pounds, sold at $4.00, also steady.
 Sheep and lamb prices gained 20 to 30 cents last week. account of light receipts at all markets, and excellent demand for mutton at consuming
 points. both in the east and in Europe.
 Packers evidently expect a shortage in the supply for some time and were active competitors. Visible supply of wethers and ewes particularly is very small for the next six weeks. or until Texas md Arizona stuff begins to
 move, Lambs sold at $6.2O ewes at
 $j.25. wethers up to S5.6O. The run.
 was again light yesterday at 4OO0 head, market steady at the advance of 1 last week.
