A MURDERER HUKG.
A Colored Plantation Hand Kills a
White Man and is Lynched.
New Orleans Jan. 19.—0 n the
Greenwood plantation near Bayou
Sara in the parish of West Feiici-
ana Wednesday night a white
man named Roberts was killed by
a negro plantation hand. The negro
was also wounded by a white
boy. A mob had lem organized
for the purpose of going to the
cabin of the negro and cowhiding
him as he was suspected of burn-
ing acorn crib on the plantation.
When the mob reached the place
the negro threw open the win-
dow of the cabin and fired a load
from a double-barrel shotgun
into the crowd with the above
result. After firing the gun
the negro attempted to effect his
escape but as he ran through the
door of the cabin he was fired up-
on and was wounded twice. He
was unable to proceed any further
and was captured. The mob was so
incensed at the killing of Robots
and the wounding of a lad that
they strung the negro up to a tree.
His body was found hanging from
a limb yesterday morning.
Silver Crisis Increasing.
London Jan. 19.—A dispatch to
the Times from Hong Kong says:
“The silver crisis is increasing in
acuteness in the east and the situ-
ation is further complicated by the
scarcity of currency at Shanghai
Hong Kong and Singapoore owing
to the decreasing supplies of Mexi-
can dollars the Mexican exchange
not having adapted itself to the
heavy fall in silver. The present
position of affairs may easily be-
come dangerous.”

The Georgia Riot Very Serious.
Augusta Ga. Jan. 19.—The not
at Rose Bringe near .Jackson S.C.
twenty miles below Augusta in
which the negroes had made war
upon the whites was worse than
at first reported. Paul Gelen is
dead and Rhett Green will die.
Both are prominent white men.
The trouble grew out of an'at-
tempt to buy the constables and
posses to arrest a negro desperado
name Juge. The negro had
an intimation of the coming of the
officers and had about forty of his
friends in ambush about the house.
Eight or ten whites are dangerously
wounded and several negroes were
shot in a pitched battle which
occurred but none were killed.
Officers were betrayed by white
man whom they claim they knew
and there are strong suspicions
that there will be lynch-
ing in that vicinity. The
battle between the whites and
negroes lasted some time and the
wonder is that more were not
killed.

House Procesdings.
Washington Jan. 19.—At the
opening session of the House this
morning the report of the commit-
tee on elections in favor of O’Neill
Democratic contestant in the con-
tested election case of O’Neill vs.
Joy was presented and ordered
printed. The consideration of the
tariff bill was then resumed
the pending amendment being
that of Johnson Democrat
of Ohio to place steel rails
on the free list. Before Dal-
zell was recognized to proceed
with his speech begun yesterday
Wilson asked the unaminous epn-
sent that three hours be set aside
next Monday for the consideration
of the amendments to the sugar
schedule. This was agreed to.
Dalzell then began by recapitulat-
ing the charges he had made
to agree against Johnson. He had
shown that Johnson manu-
factured certan kinds of street
railway rails liehindthe protection
of 190 patents and wanted the rail-
way rails to go on a free list; that
he coerced his employes in the face
of hard times and starvation to
accepting wages one-third cash
and two-thirds scrip; that be
made an untrue statement and
had altered the stenographers’
notes and lastly that the scrip
had been hawked about the streets
of Johnstown and had been bought
in at a discount by a relative of
Johnson before it was redeemed at
par.
Johnson replied to Dalzell in a
semi-humorous vein. He said he
had notified Dalzell that he was
going to attack the steel rail pool
in order that he might be prepared
but instead of making a defence
he made a personal attack upon
him (Johnson.) He (Johnson)
did not claim to be a philanthrop-
ist. The vote was then taken.
Johnson’s Amendment Lost.
Washington Jan. 19.— The
Johnson amendment to place steel
the free list was lost by a
vote of 79 to 100.
Cotton Market.
New Orleans Jan. 19.—Glenny
& Co. say: “Liverpool opened 3
points lower and closed 4 to 5-64th
lower; spots easier prices un-
changed ; sales 12000 bales.”
New York opened 4 points lower
declined 9 points additional then
reacted and at 1:20 p. in. was 7
points below yesterday.
New Orleans opened 4 points
lower and declined 8 points addi-
tional and reacting was 8 points
lower than yesterday at 12:20.
The decline in Liverpool and
heavy receipts at the ports with
the later interior receipts than was
expected caused considerable un-
easiness on the part of longs who
were free sellers. Later in the ses-
sion covering by shorts caused a
slight reaction. The receipts here
tomorrow are estimated at eight
thousand spot sales based on a
1-16 decline.
Mrs. Stanford's Secretary Talks.
San Francisco Cal. Jan. 19.—
The Examiner says: “Mrs. Leland
Standford is too ill to attend to
business but has answered the
questions through her secretary
Mr. Nash in such a way as to give
the impression that she will
sue C. I’. Huntington for the
stocks which he is alleged
to be withholding from the Stan-
ford estate and when asked
directly if Mrs. Stanford would
bring suit against Huntington
Mr. Nash answered: ‘No I think
not at present.’ ‘But she intends
to get possession of those bonds at
any cost does she not?’ was asked.
‘She certainly does’said Mr. Nash.
When asked to say positively that
she would not bring suit Mr.
Nash said‘l would not say that.’”
