BLOODY FIENDS
MURDER FAMIL Y
Decapitated Bodies Of Father, Moth
er and Son Found in Home.
CHASTITY SIGHT REVEALED
Horrible Crime Was Enacted During
the Night Near Dothan, Alabama,
and is Attributed to Robbers.

Weltering in a big pool of their
own blood, their heads almost severed
from their bodies, the dead bodies Of
j. NJ. Christmas, his wife and son were
discovered at an early hour Wednes-
day morning at their home near Cot
tonwood, Ala. The crime was commit
ted some time during Tuesday night,
and robbery is supposed to have been
the motive. Details are rather mea-
gre, and it is believed that no def
mite clew has yet been obtained.
The murdered man and his family
were very popular in the Cottonwood
neighborhood, and residents of that
section took prompt action. A tele-
phone message to Mariana, Fla,
brought bloodhounds, and deputy sher-
ifs from Dothan went to the scene.
A reward of $1,000 for the capture
of the perpetrators has already been
offered. Feeling against the murderers
is intense, and if they are captured
a lynching is not improbable.
Some terrible crimes have darkened
the history of the vicinity, but none
quite SO revolving as this, and the
people who have known Mr.. Christ
mas and his family as neighbors all
their lives are possessed with anger,
which may prove understandable.

With the murder and assault of Mrs.
Sarah Smith, July Is last, was forcibly
aiken from the Jail at Gadsden, Ala,
at an early hour Sunday morning,
ind hanged to the bridge of the Lou
sYille and Nashville railroad, which
spans the Coosa river.
Twenty-four masked men went to
the jail, overpowered the sheriff and
jailor, and made short work of the
prisoner.
-Four negroes were charged with
the crime against Mrs. Smith, two of
whom have been legally executed.
The third, Will Johnson, was recent
ly convicted, and sentenced to DEATH
but a few days ago Governor JeIks,
believing there was strong doubt of
the prisoners guilt, committed the ne
gro's sentence to life Imprisonment.
Richardson, the man lynched, had
not yet been indicted, but was in
Jail awaiting the action of the grand
jury.
At the coroner's inquest, held to in
vestigate the lynching, the only wit
nesses to testify were Sheriff Chand-
Ter and Tailor William Dixon, who
said they were overpowered, and Pc
lice officer Sam 0. Brandon, who said
he heard the shooting, and ordered
by the members of the mob to go
back to town The verdict of the
coroner's jury was as follows:
1--WE find that the deceased, Bunk
Richardson, came to his death by
strangulation from hanging, or a
wound in the head, at the hands OF
party or parties to us unknown"
Governor Jelks states that he will
use every power of his Office to bring
to justice the Iynchers of Richard
son. He left Montgomery Sunday
night for New York, and on his re
turn in about a week he will offer
rewards and do everything possible to
discover the lawbreakers and to deal
out to them every punishment for the
offense.

A QUESTION OF PROPRlETORsHlP.
Tines Union Wants to Know Whether the
Printers or Owners are the Bosses.

Apropos of the strike of union prin-
ters on the Times-Union, Jacksonville,
Fla, because of the refusal Of the
proprietors to discharge a foreman
who is alleged to have violated all
presidents, rules and regulations
which must obtain in offices under the
Jurisdiction of the typographical union,
that paper prints the following:
Let it be clearly understood that
the Times Union is not fighting the
Typographical Union-the union is
fight the Times-Union.
The paper claims and has advocated
for many years the right of men to
organize in their mutual interests and
for the maintenance of their rights,
justly and equitably administered, but
has as vigorously denied the right of
any organization to inaugurate unjust
rules and manipulate them for wrong.
The issue forced upon the Times
Union is, who shall run the business
of the paper as applied to the me-
chanical department, whether the
union shall dictate arbitrary and un-
just rules as to the method and the
fashion of conducting this business, or
whether the management shall assume
it's inherent privilege and right of do
ing so.
The management, while requiring
nothing unreasonable, has decided
firmly upon the latter course, and
this decision shall be maintained at
all hazards to the end, without amend
ment or concession.

Isle, who appeared for the prosecu-
ton.

to detail them, he said there had been
obligations of chastity, sacrifice and
vengeance. The witness said that this
cath had been taken:
you and each of you do covenant
and pray, and never cease to pray God
to avenge the blood of the prophet

Another plural marriage was spoken
of by the witness. This was between

SLAP AT STARS AND BARS
Resolutions Declare Display of Old En-

A Washington special says: Resolu-
lions protesting against the display
Of the confederate flag on public oc.
casions were adopted at the annual
encampment of the department Of the
Potomac, grand army Of the republic,
Saturday night.
The resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted, read:
Whereas, 1t is creditably report
ed that the flag of the late so-called
Confederate States of America is be-
ing displayed in public places and on
public occasions; and,
Whereas, to all defenders of the
stars and stripes and all who were
loyal to the union, that was, Is and
ever will be, the insignia Of an attempt
by force of arms to divide our coun-
try and destroy our government; and,
whereas, if in this reunited land
there is room for but one flag, and
that one the star-spangled banner
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the department Of the
Potomac, grand army Of the republic,
That we view with regret and sorrow
the public display Of an emblem
which tends to keep alive the bitter
ness and animosity engendered by the
war, which it should be the aim of
every good citizen to allay.
Resolved That such a course
serves to instill in the minds of the
coming generations aversion, If not
hostility, to our national emblem, and
is not in accordance with the oft-re-
peated profession made by the south
ern people Of their love for the ma
tional emblem.
"Resolved, That in the interest Of
the peace and good will to all, which
we earnestly desire to promote, we
earnestly request all ex-confederate
soldiers, once our gallant foes, but
now oar fellow citizens, and sharers
with us III the pride Of American
valor and heroism, and all the noble
spirited people of the beautiful south
land, to abstain from all public dis
play Of that emblem, which tends
only to keep alive feelings which
ought to be, buried"
The publication of these resolutions
Sunday morning attracted some atten-
ton among southerners in Washing
ton, but the general feeling among
ex confederates is that they are not
worthy giving serious consideration.
Southerners feel that the action OF
this grand army Of the republic post
Gerves to show how little the real feel
ings Of southerners are appreciated ut
