Rog- CTS has twice escaped the gallows on legal technicalities, and the supreme court was expected to dec .a his fate next Monday. The fear that ha Hoiid again cheat justice promp'el the lynching.
 About midnight a special tTa'r, sa:d to have been made up at Monroe, La, and chartered by parties whose names are known to the authorities consisting of an engine ana ore coach. arrived here with mob of about 26 armed men on board. The mob at once went to the jail aud placed a cordon of armed guards around |. The yforce dan entrance from, the rear, digging their way 7nroueh the brick walls. After enter ing he pail. they attacked the steel cage in which Rogers was confined and with sled-e hammers and chisels soon forced it open. 4 rope was placed around Rogers neck, and he was dragged from the jail and hnr- riAd westward along the Nichsbure, Shreveport and Pacific track, and hanged 10 a telegraph pole about half mile from the court house. His body was cut down this morning by the authorities and turned over to his wife. who arrived at noon from Ravvil,e. Mrs. Rogers took the body to Clinton. Miss, where it will be inferred. Mrs. Rogers was accocm- panied oy her sister, Miss Da:s5 l Lusiz.
 The mob was vary quiet and orderly 9oeers is said 10 have raved and srr,ekea like a mad man when the mob broke into the jail, but his ray ! incs were mistaken for those of insane prisoner ;n the jail who heard | him. There existed in the minds Of ! officers and people absolutely no sus nicion that any resort to iaWlessness was contemplate. and before Sheriff sevie- could take any steps Whatev- CT towards resistance, the mob had comp ete.d it's work and departed.
 It was one of the boldest .ynehings 1 in the annals Of the state, and the 1 rubl,citv with which the affair vas carried out gave every evidence that the Igncrers were defiant Of any af- ter responsibility. A corOnerzs Jury vas impaneled and rigid .nVestisa- ton will i1e male The jury adjourn ef vntil May %. when Superintendent Fora ot the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad and the train crew Of the special will be examined with 2. view Of ascertaining officially who as in the mob.
 Governor Blanchard has been noti- fed. and he has ordered Sheriff Sc vser and District Attorney Snyder to 90 to the bottom of the affair. IL is rurnore6 that Governor Blanchard will come to Tailufah and assist in the investigation.

INCIPIENT FIRE
EASILY SUBDUED

The explosion of a lamp in the rooms
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Mayf1eld, on
Nuuanu street a few doors above Hotel
street, was the cause for bringing out
the fire department last night about
seven o'clock. There was no need for
any of the fire fighting apparatus,
however, the resulting blaze having
been smothered before any material
damage was done.
The Mayfields are conducting mis-
sion in that part of the town, having
only moved in there a few days ago.
There was no one in the room at the
time of the presumed explosion of tte
lamp, which had been left on a wash
stand. the flames from the burning oil
being first noted from the street be-
low by a passerby, who first tried to
find staircase leading up to the room
and then turned in an alarm.
In the meanwhile the fire had been
discovered by occupants in the build
ing, who smothered the flames with
a mosquito net. The only damage was
to the lamp, the floor mating and the
net
Fire Chief Thurston arrived on the
scene a few minutes after the depart
ment appeared, having dashed away
from the Shriners' doings in his dress
clothes. It was suggested to him after
his arrival that he should have brought
along some of the burning sands can
didates and put them to work as
part of their initiation.

his Principal
Deputy.

County Attorney-elect John w
Cathcart has offered the chief deputy
county attorneyship to Sheriff A. NJ
Brown, who leaves the police depart
ment the first of the year, and Mr.
Brown has accepted the offer.
The information concerning the deal
was made public yesterday. Mr.

as they come up in the Circuit Court,
and Mr.. Andrade will be continued as
deputy county attorney to prosecute
cases in the police court.
The appointment of M. Brown as
chief deputy under Mr.. Cathcart occa-
stoned considerable surprise in politi'
cal circles yesterday. owing to the
fact that Mr.. Brown, while relinquish"
ing one office, is given another SO
closely related to police affairs, for the
lax administration of which it is said
openly that the people voted him out
of office and placed Col. Iaukea in.

the result of tree planting by the pupils
of the public schools has been received
and the winners of the prizes and the
articles selected is given below. The

reduced to $3.50. In every instance the

head of this delegation, and ne re-
sponded; "Pettigrew petitioners,

The pardon of this man Petit
grew would constitute a thorough
miscarriage of justice, and it would
do much to infuriate the people of
this community. Neither of the
men in whose interest Gen. Cock
roft is said to have been working
deserve the slightest clemency. In
both cases Judge Moss and Gen.
Yerger performed their full duty,
and now it is proposed to elevate
to the criminal bench the very man
who has tried to undo their work.

alone Mr.. Evans opposes the
extension of temperance Legislation
to one or more municipalities un-
less it is extended to all other
towns of the same size in the State.
Evans never had q temperance re-
cord. There was no temperance
plank in the platform when he was
a candidate for Governor before.
In 1896 Evans was a member of
the platform committee in the Re-
publican State convention. That
platform contained no reference to
temperance, although the people
were demanding it. Leaving out
all other considerations, who would
fare best in securing temperance
or any other legislation at the
hands of Democratic legislature,
Patterson or Evans!
Mr.. Garrett referred to Mr..
Evans record III Congress when he
voted to unseat Is Democrats, most
of these without the shadow of an
excuse. Among these Venable of
Virginia was ousted and a negro
put in his place.
If that is not enough Mr.. Evans
vote upon the iniquitous measure,
the Lodge bill, known as the Force
Bill, was enough to condemn him
in the eyes of all Southern white
voters. This bill would have given
the negro two thirds of the South

GARRETT SPEAKS.
Endorses State Democratic Ticket
Heard by Large Crowd.

ueaTu ey Large CroWu,
Congressman Finis j. Garrett
made one of the finest campaign
speeches last Monday which have
been heard here in long time.
The speaker was introduced by
his late opponent, Hon. K. A.
Pierce, who paid him a very high
compliment.
Mr.. Garrett opened with an
analysis of government and tri-
butte to the Institutions which form
the republic of the United States.
Ours is a dual government which
recognizes State and local author
ity, hence a government of the
people, for the people and by the
people. While this is true it is a
government controlled oy political
parties, and therefore much de-
pends upon those in power.
His conception of the highest
ideals was embraced in the princi
ciples of Democracy. But it was
not Of national issues he came to
speak. State politics are claiming
his attention now. He was here
to defend the State ticket and
Democratic issues in Tennessee.
Personally he was not very we'll
acquainted with either MIR. Patter-
son or Mr.. Evans, but of their re-
cords he knew much. He know
that Mr.. Patterson was in complete
sympathy with Southern ideas
and that Mr.. Evans held them in
derision and contempt. He knew
that Mr.. Patterson was Democrat
in the highest and truest sense.
Every man deserves credit for
holding principle above self.
If Tennessee should be Republi-
can then there is no reason why |
every other State should not be
Republican. But let us look at |
The issues.
Mr.. Garrett said that he had
made special study of temper
ance legislation. He had made
inquiries of the representatives
from the various States, and the
result shows that Tennessee has the
best of all temperance laws. These
avs came through the instrumen-
tality of Tennessee Democracy.

his question I In the first place
