The colored teachers, in the city inder Supt. Cook have an organization of their own, but county teachers are not admitted to this. Accordingly the colored teachers in the county have no standing anywhere. When the plan began to be formed for the Teachers’ Bazaar in Conven- tion Hall, the colored teachers felt that there an opportunity for re- opening tt question, They urged t as they attended the same teachers etings and taught in the same schools as the white teachers in the county there was no good reason why they should not take part in this enter- se which has for its purpose a con- jbution to the fund from which to pay teachers who have won a rest by long ervices. ; Colored people would be permitted ) come into the bazaar and purchase.

The Horrible Crime Committed by 200 Men Karly Wednesday Morning—A Fire had Been Built and There Were Cries of “Burn Him"--Sueh a Fate Would Have Been Meroy—The Mob Became Wild While the Mutilation of the Negro Went On— The Head Cut From tbe Body. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 16.—Jefferson Ellis was hanged from a telegraph pole at 140 this morning by 350 men within 200 yards of the scene of his crime. Be- tore hanging the negro the mob cut off noth his ears and all of his fingers, and mutilated him in a horrible manner. The mob with their prisoner reached the home of his victim, Miss Prater, soon after midnight. The young woman identified him as her assailant. As soon as this was done an armed squad of men took Ellis from Constable Farrow and started with him for the scene of his crime. A fire had been built at the place and around it the mob gathered in a circle. The handcuffed negro was on his knees before the fire. The leaders of the mob told Ellis to pray, but he only jooked at them in a stupid manner. Be- ing told that he was about to die he raised his voice in a negro hymn. By the time he finished the mob was look- Ing ugly. The fiercer element were in complete control. Cries of “burn him” were heard on all sides. Even this fear- ful fate would probably have been mercy to the negro as subsequent events proved. Amid the shouts of the mob a man jumped to the negro’s side with a drawn knife in his hand. “Cut off his ears,” they cried. “Give me a finger,” shouted one man, “I want a thumb,” cried another. The better elements in the crowd drew off at this time, and said they were not in favor of doing anything but hanging the negro. The protests were not noticed. Being urged on by the fiercest in the crowd, the man with the knife cut off the negro’s right ear and held up the bleeding trophy in full view of the crowd. The negro screamed, but his other ear was cut off a few moments later. The mob became wild at the sight of the work, and those who were mutilating the negro found ample en- couragement. They next cut all of his fingers. The negro was covered with blood and his head looked as if it had been scalped. The mob was not even then willing to end the negro’s agony. They made him stand up so that all the crowd could see him. Finally, fully thirty-five minutes after the torture of the negro began, the rope was put around his neck. The telegraph pole was seventy-five feet away. The rope was a very long one. The free end was taken by a man, who climbed the telegraph pole, and threw it over the cross-arm. The crowd jerked the negro to the foot of the pile, and while the mob shouted his bleeding and mutilated form was swung to the cross-arm. The negro was lowered to the ground and his head was cut from his body with pocket knives. The noose was then put over the feet and the headless body was again swung up. It is in- tended to send the head to the family of the little girl the negro attempted to assault last Saturday in Mississippi. A placard was placed on the body, bearing these words: ‘Death to the man who cuts him down before 6.30 this evening.” The mob dispersed, after doing its work. Jeff Ellis, on the afternoon of October 5, criminally assaulted Miss Bettfe Prater, in the presence of the latter's two little sisters. He escaped from a mob which had gathered to lynch him that night, but was captured Monday near Mount Pleasant, Miss. He con- fessed to the assault upon Miss Prater, to the outrage and murder of a Mrs. Wilcox, of the same neighborhood, two years ago, and to an attempted assault upon a little girl in Mississippi while he was trying to escape from the mob.
