Whites and Blacks Refuse to Bury the Mea Who Were Lynched. All is quiet at Barnwell, 8.C., and no further trouble is apprehended, but the town will be worried every night for the next week. Ripley Johnson and Mitchell Adams, the two Heffer- nan murderers who were lynched, were buried yesterday morning from the Methodist church, The funeral was largely attended by negroes, but they were quiet and no threats were made. The other six negroes have not been buried yet, but their bodies lie out on potter's field. The white citizens had the bodies brought to town from the woods and had cofins made fer their burial, but the uegroes would not care for the remains and have them interred, and the whites also shrank from that duty. Conse- quently they have not been buried yet, and will not be unless the negroes consent to put the bodies in the coffins. Several leading ne- groes of the town have been notified that if any further trouble takes place they will be held responsible. The negro men are too badly irightened to make any attempt to seek re- venge. -oo—______ To Oust the Foreign Miners.

Andrew Carnegie has presented Bishop Phelan of Pittsburg, with an accurate copy of the famous “Madonna de Sisto,” said to be Raphael's happiest effort. The original is in the Dresden gallery, and as the kings of Saxony have always steadily refused to permit a bees a one of their art treasures to be dupli- cated, this copy is of very great value, Per- mission to paint it was granted by the present king as an extraordinary favor. Herr Schles- ser, the Saxon court painter, succeeded in pleasing the royal eye by a tine portrait of his majesty. Inaddition to a pecuniary reward he was allowed to ask any boon he wouid like to have granted. He asked leave to paint the “Sau Sisto Madonna,” und after some demur received the royal permission, andthe pictare was painted, Andrew Carnegie saw it when in Dreeden and at once purchased it at a big price. On Christmas eve one of Mr. Carnegie’s employes brought a letter from the muiliion- aire to Bishop Pheian, requesting his accept- ance of the painting ‘for the Pitsburg cathe- dral.” The document allowing the picture to be sold and taken out of Saxony was also sent to the bishop. ‘The painting is, of course, yet in Germany, and bears the royal seal. The bishop accepted the gift, aud on its arrival it will be placedin St. Paul’s cathedral with a suitable inscription. It isexpected in atew weeks, ‘The wonderful Madonna de San Sisto,” as Ruskin calls it, was painted by Raphael between 1517 and 1520. 1t represents the Virgin standing ina majestic attitude with ber olild clasped to her bosom. it ia said’ ta have been painted on a sudden inspiration and without previous stu: , _Goue to West Virginia.
