DISGUSTING CASE.
White Woman Comes South to Mar
ry-Finds Intended q Negro.

FV-FIW0S AUSCu0CO u l<SStSe
VALDosTA, GA.-The spectacle of
an intelligent and good looking white
woman coming 2,000 miles to marry
a man whom she found to be negro
has greatly exercised the people Of
Lake Park, in this county. lnfor-
nation of the affair reached this city
to-day.
Last Saturday afternoon there
alighted from a Georgia Southern
and Florida train at Lake Park a
Young woman who was a stranger
to the people there, and who,
after awaiting around the station
for some time, as if expecting some
one to meet her ventured to inquire
of bystanders if they knew Rev. J. j..
Roberts. The man first appealed to
thought a few moments and finally
confessed that he did not know of
any one by that name in the town.
Another party told the lady that the
only J. J. Roberts in the town was
a negro preacher, known locally as
'tBurnt-Eyed" Jake, who got his
name from the fact that he had lost
one eye in a fire.
The lady was escorted to the Lake
Park hotel by some of the sympa-
thetic citizens, and it was there that
she told her story. She said her
home was in Vermont. Some months
ago she began a correspondence with
Rev. J. J. Roberts, of Lake Park,
getting in communication with him
through a matrimonial paper or cor
respondence bureau. She had be-
come engaged to him and he had
sent her money to pay her way to
Georgia, where they were to marry.
She fearlessly began the long journey
believing that her affianced was, OF
course, white man, and one proml-
nent in his section.
After hearing her story, citizens
of the town went out to look for the
negro, and he appeared as greatly
surprised as the woman had been.
He admitted that he had been cor
responding with a lady in Vermont.
but thought she was a 'cullud lady,
He protested that he never dreamed
of his correspondent being white
lady.
The citizens of Lake Park were
very generous in their proffers of
assistance to Miss Middleton, and
will aid her in returning to her home
if she needs assistance.

a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the

voices that at least six witnesses. who
heard them speak, mistook their
voices as being those of negroes. They
were not Mexicans, for they were
heard by various witnesses to sneak
in English. The weapons they used
were Springfield rifles; fort ammuni-
ton, which they used was that of the
Springfield rife and no other and
could not have been used in any gun
IN Texas, in any part of the Union,
or in Mexico, or in any other part
of the world, save only in the Spring
field rifle now used by the U. S.
troops, including the negro troops in
the garrison at Brownsville and by ne
other persons save these trOOpS-the
weapon which had only been in use
by the u. S. troops for some four or
five months prior TO the shooting in
question and which is not in the pos
session of private citizens.
From Springfield.
The cartridges used will go into
one other rifle used in the U. s., when
specially chambered-the Winchester
Of the 95 model but it will rarely if
ever go OFF when in it; and moreover,
the bullets picked out of the buildings
showing the marking of the four So
called Lands" which come from
being fired through the Springfield,
but not through the Winchester, the
latter showing six. The bullets which
herewith submit which were found
in the houses could not therefore
have been fired from the Winchester,
or any other sporting rife, although
the cartridges might have been put
into a Winchester model of '95. The
bullets might have been fired from a
Krag, but the cartridges would not
have gone into a Krag. Taking the
shells and the bullets together. the
proof is conclusive that the new
Springfield rifle was the weapon used
b. the midnight assassinS and could
not by any possibility have been any
other rifle OF any kind in the world
This established the fact that the as
sailants were L. s. soldiers and would
be conclusive on this point, if not one
soldier had been seen or heard by
any residents of Brownsville on the
night in question and if mounting were
known save the finding of the shells,
clips and bullets.
