ALLEGED ASSAILANT
IS EPIRITED AWAY
Another Negro Being Chased
BY Posse.
CROWD GATHERS AT RESIDENCE
1t Was Reported Friday Morning that
u. S. Soldiers at Fort Mcpherson,
Might Be Called Out to Protcct Ne
gro, But This Was Denied.

9Toy BUT ms w as DSnleu'
Atlanta, Aug. 24.-One negro, an
swering the description of the assail-
ant of Miss Ethel Lawrence, was cap
tured late Thursday afternoon at Mon
treal, and was kept during the night
in the convict camp near Decatur. A
posse is following the trail Friday
of another negro near Ingleside.
The negro captured at Montreal
was taken from the convict camp
early Friday morning in charge Of
Otticer Holbrook and carried to the
DeKalb county jail Later he was
placed in a covered wagon and started
to the woods and the crowds which
! had been gathering near Decatur lost
track of him. Some thought the ne
gro was being brought to the Fulton
county Jail, while others believe he is
being kept In hiding somewhere in
the woods by the officers to avoid
lynching.
A squad oR about ten mounted po-
lice left headquarters early Friday
morning and went toward the Law
renee home in order to be on hand in
case of trouble.
There was a rumor current that
United States troops might be ordered
out from Ft. Mcpherson to preserve
order, and protect the negro in case
he is caught, but at the fort it was
stated that this report was without
foundation
chased near Ingleside is the one who
made the brutal attack on the Misses
Lawrence. 1t is said that the place
where he had slept in the woods was
discovered and that it was bloody.
Another negro stated, too, that he
had seen the man, and that his cloth
ing was covered with blood.
The widest rumors are flying
everywhere, and the crowds are bent
on meeting out speedy justice if the
assailant caught.
1t Is feared that other negroes may
be lynched in the excitement A crowd
Of thousand or more men gathered
around the Lawrence home Thursday
evening, expecting the negro to be
brought there ana had he appeared to
charge of officers and been identified
there is no doubt that a lynching
would have followed.
Friday morning the report that ne
gro was held near Decatur caused
the crowd to go In that direction.
Around the home it was said to be
quiet and it is hardly likely that. the
negro, if caught, will be carried theer
by the officers for indendfication.

The above question is often asked con-
cerning DIR. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines, UGolden Medical Discovery" and
UFavorite Prescription"
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery is a most potent Alternative or
blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura-
tive wayupon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
bladder, curing a large per cent. OF catar-
rhal cases whether the disease affects the
nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bron-
CHA, stomach as catarrhal dyspepsia, },
bowels Gas mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs. Even in
the chronic or ulcerative stages of these
affections, it is often successful IN Affect
ing cures.
The HFavorite Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diSeaSes-those
peculiar weaknesses, arrangements and
irregularities incident to women only. 1t
is powerful yet gently acting invigorat-
ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked women-no matter what
has caused the breakdown, "Favorite
Prescription " will be found most effective
in building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, Subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.

ical authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools OF practice
as guides in prescribing, say OF each IN
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor

have more weight than any amount OF

grappled with the negro, striking him
a severe blow, breaking several bones
In his hand. The negro finally freed
himself, and ran into nearby woods.

and a search was begun.
About wo hours later Spain was cap
tured in negro cabin not far distant.
He was brought to st. George and
turned over to Sheriff Limehouse, who
locked him up in jail Shortly after
wards posse of forty or fifty men
went to the sheriff and demanded the
keys Of the jail. Securing the keys,
the Jail was unlocked and the negro
taken to the house Of Connor, where
his 11-year-old daughter, who was
alone IN the house, positively identi-
fed the negro as the one who tried
to climb through the window. but was
frightened away by her screams.
The negro did not protest his inno-
cence, but admitted that he had gone
to the residence with the intention of
entering it, but for what purSose he
did not say.
The mob then took the negro to a
| nearby oak tree, strung him up to a
limb and shot about 500 shots into
his body. The negro's head and body
were shot literally to shreds.
After the sheriff had surrendered to
the mob he telegraphed Governor
Hayward of what had happened. The
governor at once wired the officer to
use all means to prevent a lynching,
but it was too late, as the mob lost
no time in dispatching the negro.
After finishing it's work, the mob
dispersed and all is quiet at the scene
of the lynching,

$4,000 DAMAGE Caused by Fire.

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-At 1870 o'clock
Friday morning the Boston Bakery,
113 Whitehall street. caught fire in
the rear of the building and the smoke
soon spread into the tailor shop of
H. Kaplan, 115 Whitehall street. 1t
is estimated that the total damage as
the result of thSg early morning fire
will reach $4,000, and may assume
an even greater figure. The Boston
Bakery was practically gutted on the
inside. All the goods Of H. Kaplan
were new ones, having just been re-

AT Portuguese bullfghts not only are
the points of the bulls horns sawed
off. but the stumps that remain are
carefully padded. The horses also are
ridden with consumma&e skill, and ev-
cry precaution is taken to prevent the
bull touching them. Banderillas are
used by the men on foot and on horse
back and are planted in the neck Of
the bull, which irritates the bull, but
cannot be described as torture. Just
as much skill is shown as in Spanish

beautiful a display of costumes, but
there is no killing either of the bull or

Friday morning at $50 o'clock at his

for just three weeks and succumbed
to an attack of meningitis, compIicat-

intermittent attacks of hiccoughs.
Several times during the illness the

newed hope. The combination of dis
eases was, however too much for even
his iron constitution, and he sank
painIessly into death early Friday.
