is evidence in the speech and atti-
tude OF the people. All day rumors
OF various kinds. but all touching upon
one subject. have been flying about
This morning II was reported that two
white girls of q prominent family on
Western Government street had been
assaulted.
Negro shot ny omcer.
Investigation. however, proved the
report absolutely unfoundec. Another
time. a riot was narrowly averted
when a negro named Jack Phillips. was
shot by an ofScer for resisting ar
rest. ~
Phillips secured possession of the
officers pistol and attempted to fire
inflicting a wound which necessita ted
hospital treatment.
When the negro was brought to po-
lice station. the Ambulance was follow
ed by a crowd, sof perhaps a hundred
men and boys.
1t was also rumored that Sheriff
Powers had secured the arrest of the
man who shot hoy Hoyle last night.
but this, too. has been officially de-
MED.
The most persistent rumor, however,
has been that the negro Robinson is
still concealed in Mobile. Notwith
standing that the afternoon papers
have printed an account Of the arrival
of the officers with Robinson, in Birm-
ingham, the excited ones refused to
believe. A third committee made an
inspection Of Jail today to no avail.
For the escape of Robinson from the
clutches of the mob, Mobilians hold
Sheriff Powers responsible. The in
formal ion / have obtained is that Pow
ers sent the accused rapist out of the
city over the Southern Railway train
which left Mobile at 6:20 O'CLOCK las'
night.
The party boarded the train several
miles out. Fooled in their effort the
anger of the citizens seems to have
fallen upon Sheriff Powers and Mayor
Lyons Wild threats and vaporings
about stringing up the Sherln are
heard. and several rumors are afoal
of another attack to be made upon the
Jail tonight.
In the popular dissatisfaction. the
action of Governor Jelks in ordering
outside troops to Mobile has been severe
ly criticised. The announcement given
out today that the three companies Will
be held here for relief work for the
tornado sufferers has had no effect In
ouieting the dissatisfaction.
The Mobile Item. in a scathing edito-
rial today, points out that there are now
four companies Of militia here and says
the ordering of more troops from out
side Is q stain upon the city's name.

One Year in Heaven
TO Mrs. Maggie Gold Morga

TO Mrs. Maggie Gold Morgan.
One year in heaven! how bright and
brief
Amid the raptures thou dost know.
The while sad loneliness and grief
Enshroud the pathway that / go.
But bright or dark the years move on,
In earth beneath and heaven above,
Until we shall each other join
In the sweet land of light and love.
One year in heayen-those mansions
fair,
Beyond the reach of sin and woe,
That JesBs doth III love prepare
For those who serve Him here below;
With tender care He leads them forth
TO pastures green. where fountains
play,
And from the eyes that wept on earth
He wipes all tears fore'er away.
One year in heaven, where thou dost
meet
With dear ones loved on earth of
yOFe,
Who with joyful welcome greet
Thy coming unto them once more.
What glad reunions there take place :,
AS one by one the ransomed come,
Through Our Fathers wondrous grace
Into that sinless, blessed home.
One year in heaven, with Christ the
Lord,
Whom thou didst love and long to
see;
Whose presence doth alone afford
The highest JOY that there can be;
Forever shalt thou there abiGe,
And with glad, grateful songs shalt
praise
The name of Him who for us died,
And doth to life and glory raise.
One year in Heaven! No! tongue can
tell
The fadeless pleasures, pure al d
bright,
Ofthose who there in glory dwell,
Increasing as the years.take flight!
O, may there be, at earth-life's end,
To us happy entrance given,
Where with our loved Ones.A I'VE sh9 IL
