IDENTIFIED INVESTIGATION OF THE AFFAIR OSDERED Detectives Who Were Su log Complicity in the Affulr—Wurrunts posed to Be Guard- the Prisoners der Arrest for Out for Korty Farmers. MEMPHIS, Sept. 1.—Six negries, mem- bers of an organiz:d gang of Incendiaries, were lynched by a mob near Millington, Tenn,. a small town on the Chesapeake & Ohlo Southwestern railroad, thirty miles north of Memphis, last night. The names of the dead are: DANIEL HAWKINS, GRAHAM WHITE, BDWARD HAL JOHN HAY ROBERT HAYNES. WILLIAM WARNER. The prisoners were in charge of Detectives W. S. Richardson and A. T. Atkinson, had arrested them a few hours before on a charge of arson. The negroes were all handeuffed and shackled and were on their way to the county jail at Memphis. When the officers reached a dense swamp, a few miles from Millington, they weve sur- rounded by a mob of fifty men, armed with Winchester rifles and shctguns, and manded to halt. “Hold up your hands,” yelled the leader. The detectives hesitated. ‘What does this mean,” said one of them. 'Never you mind; it means business Shove up your hand WAS HIS LAST MOVE. By this time the who com- detectives were over- powered by the mob. When the mob sur- rounded the wagon the negries seemed to know Instinctively what was going to happen. They were sitting on boxes that had been thrown about on the floor of the wagon. One gat on (he seat by Driver Atkinson. One negro, in the body of the wagon, rose up on his feet and threw up his shackied hands. That motion was his last, for a shower of bullets was poured into his body. He fell over and out of the wagon and into the road, dead. The negro sitting beside the driver threw his arms about Atkinson with an exclamution and gesture of supplication. The muzzle of a gun was shoved against his stomach, and the charge was sent through his body. Detectlve Atkinson was grasped by several of the mob and was hustled up to the side of Richardson, and there held until the murderous work wes over. Volley after volley was poured into the bodies of the shackled and manacled negroes in the wagon until all of them were dead. Then the mob took the bodles out of the wagon, threw them on the road and contin- ued to fire into them. Richardson and Atkinson say there were fifty people in the mob, and that some were not disguised, while others had their heads encased in a dark cloth, but it was so dark it would not have been possible to recognize any one even had the officers been well ac- quainted with the people In that part of the country, Having concluded its work, the leader of the mob shouted, ‘‘Forward, boys." MOB DISAPPEARED IN THE WOODS. Guns were shouldered and the members of the mob walked back into the woods that lined the road and disappeared. The lynched negroes were all accused of arson, and all are sald to have belonged to an organized band of barn burners that have In five years destroyed thirty-two barns, as many resi- dences, and other property of great value in the vielnity of Kerrville, Lucy, Millington and Bolton's college, this state, On Thursday Jeft Laxton, a merchant of Kerrville, came to Memphis, went before Judge W. H. Hughey and swore out war- rants against elght negroes who live in his nelghborhood, charging them with having set fire to the buildings at the Kerrville fair grounds, which were destroyed by fire three months ago. These warrants were placed in the hands of Detective Richardson, who has had much experience in connection with these barn burners. He reached Kerrville at 8 o'clock yester- day morning. Warner Willlams, who works on the railroad, was arrested as he stepped on a handear at the depot. Others were found working in the fields and others were found at their homes. Darius Bland And Will Morril, members of the gang for whom warrants were issued, hearing of the facts in time, took flight and escaped. It was the intention of the officers to take the prisoners to Millington and bring them to Memphis oo the Chesapeake train at 6 o'clock last njght, but they had not made all the arrangeme== = to that time and had to walt over. Theré is no jall to the village and the prisoners as fast as captured were manacled and placed under guard to awalt the time for leaving It was nearly 10 o'clock when the last ar- rest was tade. It was impossible to re- main over night at Millington, as there was no safe guard house, and it was declded to make the trip by road. D. Tucker, a meichant there, provided a wagon, a mule and a horse wera hitched to It and the staft was made. They bad mot proceeded far, however, before they were overpowered by the mob. After the bloody work was over the detectives summoned the coroner and an fnquest was held, which resulted in the usual verdict: “That the deceased came to at the hands of unknown partie Detective Richardson arrived in Memphis this morning and rcported the lynching to Sherifft McLennan and Criminal Court Judge L. P. Cooper. Judge Cooper at once sent for the grand jury and Instructed that body to Investigate the affair and return indict- ments against the members of the mob. Later in the day Judge Cooper lssued bench warrants for Detectives Richardson and Atkinson, charging them with complicity in the lynching, and they were sent to jall and admitted to bail. Warrants were also fssued for the arrest of forly farmers, who are supposed to have e mewmbers of the wob.

FRED DOUGLASS INTERVIEW ED, Affalr O ther Evidence of the Spirit 1 Lawlessnes Sept. 1.—The announce- the lynching of six colored men e was much talk d of in Washing- ton teday and caused renewed interest in the resolution introduc:d by Representative Blair of Newhafpshire, for an investigation of such forms cof lawlessness, which will probably be acted upon early next session Hon. Frederick Douglass, the ploneer of the abolition movement, by an Aseociated press reporter. He had not read the report of the affair, nor did he care to. “It is only a continuation of the persceution of the past” he sald, at first vary bitterly. *“‘What can 1 bout this affair that I have not already said of smaller ones? My views are well kncwn For a moment he was silent and then he continued, apparently speaking more in sor- than in anger, I regard this case as symptomatic,” he said. “It belongs to that spirit of lawlessness which prevails all over the countr It is usually saild in defense of lynch law that it Is cnly resorted to in revenge for a single crime. But that is not true. It is resorted to after almost all offenses, or all alleged offenses. They kill a man, tell how he ked when he was accused, how he confessed, how he was strung up, but when the coroner’s jury is calléd they swear they don’t know who did it. They know who the man confessed to. “I do mot believe their accusations; it is stmply a reign of terror in the south for political purposes and to defeat the consti- tutional amendments. One effect of this per- sistent lawless violence in the south will be, undoubtedly, to produce retallation part of the negroes. Persecution will beget persecution and secret revenge, Anothr effect will be to keep the capital of the north and immigration from the north and from broad away from one part of our common countr It is a deplorable state of affairs, but these things will ultimately defeat them- selves. The thirst for blood will be satiated and reaction will take place.’ HOPES THEY WILL BE Hon. Blanche K. Bruce, ex-United States senator from Mississippl and ex-register of the treasury, took a conservative view of the work of the lynchers in Tennessee. Though he expressed astonishment at the brutality of the action and deplored its damaging effects to the south, he at first declined to discuss the affair, but finally said: “It is certainly an appalling affair, and T earnestly hope that the good citizens of the country in which it occurred will not rest until the perpetrators have been brought to justice. The effect of the lamentable occurrence will be, among other things, to neutralize to some extent the good that is being done by the Southern Development association, which has just closed its sessions here. This will be accomplished by keeping capitalists from investing their money in the south.” Mr. Bruce refused to vay whether uprising of the negroes was to be exp though it was admitted the outcome be of a serious character. Hon. J. R. Lynch of Mississippl, who served three terms in congress and was fourth auditor of the treasury under Harri- son, denounced the lynchers and deprecated the effect of the occurrence in retarding the growth of the south. “The lynchings have become so prevalent in the south that it is no longer an uncommon matter to read of them aturally, T was horrified to hear of the Tennessee lynching, which was based merely on the suspicion that the men were guilty of arson. Those men who have justified fre- quent lynchings through the pulpit, press and on the stump have done 50 on the ground that lynching was resorted to only for the crime of assault. The truth is that the Iynchings are the result of a morbid and depraved public sentiment, which has toler- ated any and all criminal methods to stamp out and effectually prevent successful oppo- sition to the ruling oligarchy, which bears the name of democracy in the south. Lynch- ing is only one species of the lawlessness which damns that section of the country in the estimation of peaceful and law-abiding citizens everywhere. Hence, it is bound to be detrimental to the industrial and commer- cial interests of the south. It is not a race matter, and there will be no retaliation from a race standpoint, B READY FOR THE VETERANS, WASHI ment of in Tennes: venerable was seen row never on the PUNISHED. an cted, would ALL Pittsburg Putting © Her Gala Attire to Greet the G, A, R. PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.—Pittsburg is rapidly getting into gala attire to welcome the visitors to the G. A. R. national encamp- ment, the first ¢f whom arrived today. He was Comrade W. H. Pfeiffer of Orange, Cal. He says that owing to the hard times but fe men will come from the Pacific coast. In the meantime the sound of hammers and saws are heard all over the city, while bunting and flags of every hue, with “Old Glory" largely predominating, are fluttering cn every side. The arches through which the parade will pass are rapidly nearing com- pletion and mammoth stands are being erected at every vantage point along the route, The committee in charge of the ar- rangements are completing the last minor details and everything will be in readiness several days before the encampment on Tuesday, the 11th inst, Owing to the refusal of one road a 1 cent a mile rate cannot be made. Clara Barton, president of the American National Red Cross association, writes to say that other duties will prevent her attend- ing the encampment. The citizens' committee has raised all but a few dollars of the $75,000 fixed as neces- sary to defray the expenses of the encamp- ment. It is probable that the subscriptions will exceed that amount and all of it can be used. opens S LIEUTENANT DONOVAN'S RIDE. Will Wheel from ¥ort Russell Omaba with Heavy Marc!

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1 Americanist congress will meet in September next year in the City of Mexico. This will be an extra session, as no regular conventions are held outside of Europe. The Mexican government has promised the delegates free access to and use of its National museum, its library and all its collections. W. W. Thomas, jr., the former American minister to Sweden and Norway, has just completed a serizs of lectures and returns to the United States October 6 on the Ameri- can liner Paris, Preparations are already being made here for an industrial exposition of giant propor- tlons, which will be held in Stockholm in 1897. Engineer Arthur Leffler, who made a record as Sweden's royal commissioner in the World's fair in Chicago, has been appointed one of the directors of the coming exposi- tion. Among the promMment Americans who are at pr nt visiting the Swedish capital may be mentioned Bishop John P. Newman of Omaha, who is attending the International Methodist conference, now being held here, and who has been elected president of the convention. Archbishop Janszen of New Or- leans s also staying here, and has twice celebrated mass in the church of Saint Eu- genia. Another American gentleman who has spent a few days in the capital |s Prof. Bar- rington of the weather bureau at Washing- ton, He is on his way to Upsala, where he will present the report of the United States on the international meteorological committee which meets there. Sweden will soon add another big ironclad to her navy. She will then have four big warships of the modern type ond a great number of gunboats and monitors, and her navy may be considered a very formidable foe to encounter on the sea. Notwithstanding this, King Oscar will ask the Riksdag to grant new appropriations for the building of a fifth ifronclad, probably of larger dimen- sions than those already completed. ROYALTY WILL HAVE A HUNT. The king's usual annual elk hunt will take place at Nall and Hunneberg in South Sweden some time during the latter part of September. Emperor William, King Christia of Denmark and the Prince of Wales will be invited to the hunt, Sarah Bernhardt is expected to make a four through Scandinavia during September and part of October. Miss Segrid Wolf, late of the Metropolitan opera house of New York, has made a contract with the Royal theater of Copen- hagen, calling for seven appearances in Sep- tember. The prima donna of the royal opera of Stockholm for next season will be Mme. Caroline Ostberg, who spent tha last two years in the United States, Several elections to the new Storthing have already taken place, and, judging by those already held, the party of the left ought to come out victorious. It is, however, too early to make any prophecies in this re- spect. King Oscar takes pleasure in decorating American citizens. The last example of his majesty's good will in this respect is Rev. P. Sward, the president of the Evangelical Lutheran -Augustana synod of the United States, with headquarters in Rock Island, Il Dr. Sward has been appointed a com- modore of the second class of the Order of North Star. Mrs, Aura Kiler, the authoress, Who represented Denmark at the Women's con- gress in Chicago, will visit Sweden and Norway this fall and deliver lectures in the most prominent citles. The lecture on American Women” s sald to be most In- teresting. A new book by Mrs. Kiler, the title of which will be “On Duty,” will be published this fall simultaneously in Copenhagen, Ber- lin, London and New York. The American legation in Stockholm, which for five years has been situated In the most beautiful residential part of the eity, will soon be removed to the Adelstamm house, near the National museum, where Minister Fergus has rented a magnificent suite of rooms. FILED A STRONG PROTEST, Nicaraguans Given Falr and Clear Warning of Coming Retributl NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1.—-The steamer Rover from Bluefields brought the latest ad- vices from Nicaragua forwarded by the As- sociated press correspondents. The prisoners took their departure on the Yulu without interference from either the English or American authorities, and there was a great feeling of disgust among the foreign residents who did not then have any knowledge of the reason for inactivity. Even the prisoners expected interference on the high seas, and the Yulu steamed close to the Columbia to afford opportunity for the Americans to interfere. At Monkey point lay the British cruiser Mohawk, but she, too, was silent. The Englishmen did not act for lack of in- structions, Captaln Sumner of the Columbia stated afterwards that his reasons for silence vas his knowledge of Nicaraguan character, feeling that the lives of the prisoners would have been sacrificed by any act of inter- ference, and feeling also that no naval vie- tory or the destruction of regiments wollld compensate for the loss of American lives The Nicaraguans feared to lesve with the prisoners from Dluetields, owing to the threatened interference, and demanded a guaranty from the commander of the Yulu that he would mot signal to the war ships. The captaln visited Captain Sumner of the Columbia about the matter. He advised that the Yulu sign no paper and muke no prom- ises.

Farmer John Foley and His Wife Met by Mighwaymen Norfh of Benson. John Foley, a farmer Mving seventeen miles north of Omaha, was held up and robbed by two masked ‘highwaymen about 10 o'clock last night In the Qoal creek cut, near Robbers’ Roost, about two miles north of Benson on the military road. Foley was in Omaha yesterday with a 1oad of produce, which e disposed of at good prices, and, in company with his wife, started for home early in the evening. Just as he drove into the cut two masked men on horses rode up on efther side of his wagon, and, pointing revolvers at Foley and his wife, demanded their money or their lves, The men made Foley gét out of the wagon and while one kept him covered with a re- volver the other went through his pockets, robbing It Gt $21 and & watch, after which they made Foley get into his wagon and drive on. When the men made Foley get out of the wagon he managed to draw his pocketbook, containing $9! from his inside pocket and throw It into. the weeds at the roadside, where it now lies, as Foley himself could not find it in the darkness. After the robbery the men rode toward this city and Foley drove back to Benson, where he left his wife and came on to Omaha, Te- porting the robbery at police headquarters about 1 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Fred Stark saw two men wearing slouch hats pass her place on the military road a few minutes ahead of Foley and then return, coming toward Qmaha shortly after the robbery was committed. There is no clew to the identity of the highwaymen, but it 18 thought that they followed Foley out to this lonesome place. pramtee™ 1 B BANTAM WEIGHTS MATCHED.

BERLIN, Scpt. 1—The effect of the new tarift bill has been instantaneous in Berlin, Frankfort and other export centers. The very day the law went into eftect the in- volces passing through the United States consulate general increased 50 per cent and on the following two days the number was doubled. The fndustries most affected are decorative china, paperware and chemicals. The whole German export trade to the United States will be increased owing to the passage of the United States tarifft measure some 100 to 150 per cent for me months, if present Indications can be relied on. The Vossiche Zeltung printed a verbatim trans- lation of the United States tariff bill on Wednesday last in an extra edition, a piece of Journalistic enterprise which is much commented upon hera as being quite a do- parture from the usual methods adopted in such cases. The bill, naturally, has at- tracted widespread attention and the Unite States consulates through the manufactur- ing districts of Germany are flooded with in- quiries as to the proper interpretation of the new duties and tariffs which come under them., This Is especlally the case with the bigger manufacturing firms, as the lat- ter are taking steps to increase their ex- port business to the utmost under the new measure, EMPEROR WILLIAM ACTIVE. Emperor William's activity continues, On Tuesday he reviewed his Brandenburgers on the Templehoft review grounds. He is in constant communication with his advisers on all subjects and is diligently discussing the plans to check the spread of cholera. Yet he finds time daily to take long excur- sions. Since Emperor Willlam's return to Ber- lin large numbers of uniformed police are always present at the railway station when e arrives there or ‘@éparts from the eity, During the parade on Tufsday last Fis ma- Jesty was surrounded by a crowd of gen- darmes; mounted and on foot. These pre- cautions are being connected with the re- cent arrest of anarchists In this city. An interesting military horse race or test of endurance is shortly to take place. The emperor has ordered two officers of the Dragoon Guards to ride from Berlin to Cologne, 312 miles, within four days. Each officer Is restricted to make use of one horse, and the two contestants will only be accom- panied by bicyclists. During the coming army maneuvers the bicycle and the use of trained dogs will be tested on a large scale. Henceforth th bicyele is to form a part of the equipment of each infantry corps, and the battalious will have a detachment of trained riders, as well as experts to train them in the use of the wheel. The dog is becoming more gen- erally used in warlike operations, especially for an advance guard and field dispatch service, although it has been demonstrated that collies are the only dogs which have been found really available for this work, and their number is limited if the selection is confined to first-class animals. Owing to the prevalence of cholera in cer- tain districts, the naval review, fixed to take place at Dantsic in the middle of the present month, will be held at Swinmunde, and for the Koenigsburg festivities the gath- ering of crowds has been officlally pro- hibited, TRUCE BETWEEN MINISTERS. It Emperor Willlam has not succeeded in completely reconciling Chancellor von Caprivi and Dr. Miquel he has at least been eblo to effect a truce between them. This result Is apparent in a published interview, in which the chancellor s quoted as saying Dr. Miquel must stay In office, as his task is only half done. The annual conclave of the German Catholics at Cologne his been largely at- tended, but little was done besides making speeches. There was not enough unanimity of opinion on the school question, relizious {nstruction nor the recall of the Jesuits to Germany It is expected Robert E. Kneebs, the Ger- man horse owner, well known in America who was arrested here in May last, charged with “ringing” In the entry of trotting horses, will be released in a few days. Sworn statements have been received from the United States, showing that the mare Bethel, which he was charged with having entered In races here after declaring that she had never won a race, was in the United States during the period of his supposed running her in Germany under the fictitious name of Nellle. The magnificent sarcophagl of Emperor Willam I. and Empress Augusta have been completed and placed in the mausoleum at Charlottenburg. Emperor William has expressed himself satisfied with them, and today they were solemnly dedicated. The United States ambassador, Hon. Theo- dore Runyon, has been busy since his re- turn, but the statement that he has been engaged In negotiaticn with Herr Marschal von Bieberstein, the minister of forelgn affairs, in regard to the American tariff, Is unfounded. The report circulated in this connection evidently caused great annoyance to the German officlals, for the Natlonal Gazette today formally denies that the min- ister for forelgn affairs visited Mr. Runyon in connection with the tariff, sdding: “‘Such a visit does not correspond with diplomatie usage. No interview has taken place in regard to the sugar duties,’ The emperor of Austria i to arrive at Landskron, Bohemia, early tomorrow to at- tend the great maneuvers which begin on Monday.
