YE 4 AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Governor O’Ferrall’s Criticisms of a Lynch- ing by a Mob. Death of Mr. Louis C. Barley's Little Daughter—Coming Inaugural Occa- sion—General and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., December 2, 1897. In his message to the legislature yester- day Governor O'Ferrall, in referring to the lynching of the negro McCoy by a mob in this city lest June for having confessed to committing rape on two #tle girls, scores the city authorities roundly. The governor said: ‘In the city of Alex- andria I regret to say that, in my opin- ion, there was dereliction of duty some- where. That city has the largest military company in the state. A man was arrest- ed, charged with a vile felony. He was committed to the station house, where sev- eral policemen were on duty. The excite ment became intense and a crowd assem- bled at the station house in a threatening manner. Later another crowd gathered, broke into the station house, seized the policemen in charge, battered down the door of the cell in which the prisoner was confined, took him out and hung him to a lamp post on the street. The mayor, though clothed with the power to summon the military company to aid the civil au- thorities, issued no order and took no steps to protect the prisoner, notwithstanding the excited condition of the city, of which he had full notice. “There may be no doubt the prisoner was guilty of a most heinous crime, committed under the most diabolical circumstances, and deserved death, but he was in the cus- tody of the law officers, safely confined, and yet a mob was permitted, in a city of 18,000 population, with a strong military force at the command of the mayor, to bid defiance to the law and trample down the authority of the commonwealth. There can be no possible excuse offered for the success ot the mob.” This criticism has been variously com- mented upon, but the sentiment expressed by the best citizens of the city is one ot approval of the governor's views. Death of Bessie Barley. The many friends of Mr. Louis C. Barley learned with regret this morning of the death of his interesting little six-year-old daughter Bessie last night. The little one had been ill of diphtheria for some weeks. Mr. Barley was in Richmond attending the session of the legislature at the time, but returned home today. Mrs. Barley is also ite sick. Mr. and Mrs. Barley have the mpathy of the entire community bereavement. A. L. I. Meeting. The Alexandria Light Infantry will meet Monday night next for the purpose of con- ving the proposed trip to Richmond, January 1, when Major Tyler will be inau- gurated governor of Virginia. This com- pany is rapidly getting in good shape and perfecting itself in the new manual of arms. Officers Elected.

In respect to wickedness, he gives the palm to Australia. “Africa,” he said, “is bad, but Australia is the most brutal and most vicious place in the world. They treat prisoners worse there than anywhere else. I have seen them tied to a cross and given thirty-nine lashes for disrespect to an officer.” The count expects to go from Chicago to Texas and from there to New York. He came to Chicago from Califérnia and took tuirteen months to make the trip. CYCLOPEDIA, ATLAS AND DICTIONARY.
