NEGRO f|ENDS
WERE LYNCHED
Two Who Confessed to Us
: ,ual crime. Strung Up
at Monroe, La.


Monroe, La, Mar. IA sequel to
the outrages OF the past few days
was the lynching at 1 O'clock this
morning of two young negroes, Flint
Williams and Henry Gardner, who
confessed to their part Of some OF
the lawiessness.
They were captured during the day,
after the community had been thor.
oughly aroused by the attempt to out.
rage Miss Jennie Bumpus early in
the morning. This, following closely
uIon the heels of the succession. of
cutrages, caused the leaGfng citizens
of monroe to get together and decide
upon a course of dras.lc action
Flint Williams was captured quite
by accident early in the Gay, and he
was put through such course of
questioning that he finally confessed,
and shortly after the police brought
in Gardner. Gardner confessed not
only to shooting and robbirg Italians
but also to the attempted outrage on
Miss Bumpus. The pair Implicated a
third negro, who has not yet been
captured.
The fact that the negroes became
so bold in their outrages and swag-
gcred through the streets with mark
ed insolence caused the citizens to
make up their minds without delay
The attempted outrage in the morn
ing showed clearly where the trouble
would lead to if not checked by dras-
tic action.
At midnight a mob ae fifty deter
mined men gathered in The Court
house Square and demanded the keys
of the city policeman who was in
charge of the City Jail. He refused
to give them up, but when he was
confronted with a gun and warned
that his life depended upon compli-
ance he yielded reluctantly.
The half-dczen men who went into
the prison had no difficulty In locat-
ing the two men they We're looking
for. They were dragged out into the
Courthouse Square, where they cow
cred shrinkingly and pleaded piteous-
ly for their lives. The members of
the mob were as silent as sextcns,
and in few minutes the black fiends
were strung up. and SOON their life
less bodies told that The Summary
of the community had been
executed.
When the third negro who was i'm
piicated by the confession Of The. Gead
men is caught he will prooabiy meet a
like fate.
Unless the negroes taxe warning
by this mornings work and return to
their peaceful pursuits it is likely
that the citizens of Monroe will adopt
measures that will soon keep them
N bounds effectively and for a long
lime to come

Chicago Capitalists and the Butta-
hatchie Water Power.

From the following special dis
patch from Chicago TO the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, it seems that
our enterprising fellow citizen, Mr..
II r. Reynolds Is about to succeed
in developing the water power of the
Buttahatchie river and the construc-
ton Of the railroad line for which
he obtained franchise from the
Aberdeen City Council a few months
ago. 1t is not surprising that one
with the genius and indefatigable
energy Of Mr.. Reynolds should sue
coed, even in so large a venture,
and if the programme here men
toned Is really contaminated, It
will be only the initial step to an
almost incredulous development in
the same line through the Tombig-
bee valley in Mississippi and Ala
bama. The dispatch is dated Chi
cago, June %, and reads as follows:
A deal was closed in LaSalle street
today by which the funds are pro-
vided for the construction Of line
IF railroad connecting Aberdeen,
Miss, with Columbus. Miss. The
deal is stated to carry with 1t a ten
tative proposition for the expendl-
ture by Chicago capitalists of $3.50,
/ 900 for the development of water
power ON the Buttahatchie river,
which it is proposed to supply cleo
/ trio power to the cities Of Aberdeen,
Columbus and West Point, both for
. lighting and manufacturing pur-
/ poses. The prospectus upon which
/ the Chicago people acted states that
these two propositions viii insure
vast development for Columbus and
Aberdeen and that section Of cOun-
/ try. Hamilton +. Reynolds, Of
/ Aberdeen, is said to be the genius
! that hoated the deals He is at
! the Victoria hotel IN this city. He
has tried to keep his deal quiet.
/ The contract signed today IS said to
provide for the furnishing Of the
cash for the immediate construc-
ton of the line Of railroad between
the two cities. For some reason
prominent people have shown much
interest in this deal.

The Columbus, Memphis 6 PEN
sacoIa Railroad.

AS will be observed by ordinance
and legal notice elsewhere in these
the city council We'd
nesday night ordered an election on
the proposition to issue $50, 600 of
bonds to the Columbus, Memphis &
Pensacola Railroad Company for
right of way and depot grounds
through the city. This is the enter
prise that is being promoted by Mr..
III. E. Reynolds of this city, who has
secured all the necessary franchises
for its construction and has also in
terested foreign capitalists 10 the ex-
tent of financing the building of the
road. The result of the election may
be regarded as foregOne conclusion,
for a petition TO the Board to order
the election was signed three months
ago BY a majority of the voters and
property holder of the city, and was
presented Wednesday night as basis
for action in adopting the ordinance
and election order. The charter for
the road and some of the right of way
were secured two years ago, but at
that point operations were suspended.
1t it distinctly provided that no
bonds are to be issued until the road
is built and in operation, so that there
are no chances for the railroad com
pany to "get something for nothing
by failure to comply with its end oil
the obgligation.
A line of railway from Memphis to
! Pensacola is not a new idea. 1t con
plates the same general route as the
Memphis & Selma road, conceived il
Aberdeen and pushed TO the compile
/ ton of much grading and other pre-
/ liminary work by General Forrest
/ back in the seventies, but the strin
gency of the times forced its aban
donment. West Point and Other
/ towns have had their eyes on this line
/ for years and are ready to respond &c
any demand for aid that viii secure
+ it to them, and it is fortunate for Us
that Mr.. Reynolds has taken it il
hand and progressed so favorably to
wards its construction. We are in
formed that the clearing out of tbs
right of way viii begin Monday OF
/ the east side of the river, probably
at the point of crossing the stream
near the County bridge.

the water power of the Buttahatchi'

also materialized to practical Ger

situation had been so materially

Of invitations from the faculty and

be able to find some printing house

enough skill and brains to get out
their invitations.
