By Onr Corre-paual-AII Well us decline mt Camp Springfield, Jacksonville, Fla., May 27 The First Begiment of the North Carolina Volunteers is quartered on the Atlantio coast 17 miles from sea, and one mile from the banks of the great St.- John's river, on the north side of the city of Jacksonville abont one mile from the city proper, in a pine grove and dry marsh, be tween regiments from Wisconsin and Illinois. There are fiye regi ments now encamped here in "Springfield," Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina and two from Illinois. There are an equal number of brass and regimental bands and the airs from the fes tive instruments together with the balmy sea and gult breezes go a long way to make the quick, hard thud ot the soldier's tramp more steadily on while the regi mental and battallion drills are in progress. It is rumored that there will be 18,000 troops concentrated here, to await orders to invade Cuba, and a more pleasant or convenient location could hardly be found on the eastern or southern coast. We get an elegant sea breeze here at all times durinz the day, except a few hoars in the morn ingfrom 7 to 10 o'clock. At night the air is chilling and blankets are not uncomfortable. There is'comparatively no sickness in camp, debaring a tew slight cases of dysintery, which natural ly follow changes such as we are undergoing. The city of J ackscn ville furnishes the camp with water, diawn from an artesian well 1,800 feet deep. It is pure sulphur water, but after filtration the offensive ordor is taken away. One can drink an nnlimited quantity and need tear no serious results. Jacksonville is a beautiful city and its location is especially at tractive. There are many hand some residences and public build ings, with parks, fisheries, shell roads, railroads, car lines and every thing convenient for pleas ure, comfort and quick transit. Other attractiye points in the city are the beer gardens, free lunch counters, cariosity shops, etc. Bananas, alligators and rattle snakes are among the most num erous of any article offered for sale by the itinerant camp follow ers. Bananas can be purchased at from 20 to 60 cents per bnnch, while alligators range from 35 cents to (300 apiece. Battle- snakes are so common that they come right into camp and bunk with the boys. The Wisconsin boys captured one, yesterday, measuring five foet four inches and counted 17 rattles. The boys in Co. L are delighted over the change of location from Baleigh to Jacksonville and open ly proclaim that since Spain learned that Capt Hill had brought his men this near to Cu ba, that she at once began pro ceedings suing for peace. Many ot the boys will go to the coast next Sunday and enjoy the surf bathing. Crab fishing and plunge baths are very popular with the boys and I might say that tbe latter pleasure is quite necessary at times. The boys are perfectly content with their lot, and are growing fat on goyernment rations with a small amount of the tropical fruits. Water melons are ripe and are sold here in great quanti ties, ranxing in price from 10 to 40 cents. Lieutenant Good mm, Corporal Brnmley, Privates Andy Earnhardt and Max Barker are in clover so long as the luscious mellons last As soon as I can find time I will catch a "tame" rattle snake and send it to The Standard, together with an alligator egg, which will be a valuable acquisi tion to yonr collection of curios.

A DAY OF MOST HORRIBLE DAY IN THE HISTORY OF CABARRUS COUNTY AN AS SAULT -A MURDER - - TWO NEGROES LYNCHED. Emma Hartsell. a Thirteen-Year-Old Girl, Brutally Assaulted Then Killed Neck Cut From Ear to Ear A Mob Gathers Around the Jail and Overpowers the OfficersBoth of the Negroes Lynched. Tbs mojt h rriUe outrage in 1 ha history of Cabtrrns or many o'her counties was committed on Sundiy evening about four or 6e ml es from Concord near the Coddle Creek rai road brdge It is horrible in several reap o a. 1 be one was tbe assault, t e o ber tbe murder, and tbe last one, wbicb was cf course a horrible scene, was the lynching of two negroes. On Sanday afternoon Mr. S J Harteell and his w.f i and several children went to the church to wor ship and hft Emma, tbeir 12 year old daaghter,and also tbe 6 months old baby, at home. A whi'e before 3 o'clock Rev. Plyler and another gentlemau drove up to tbe barn to get out of the rain. Seeing a little baby on the porch they hollered, but got do response from tbe inside of tbe hoase. By this time Mr. Hart sell an i family were io sight, coming borne. Immediately Mr. Hartsell picked op tbe little bihy and took bsr In the house. Soon one of the daughters wbo had been to cburcb waked into the kitchen. Here was a most horrible scene. Emma Hartsell lay there oi tbe floor midst clots of blood. Soon the folks gathered and found thatE-nma bad been killed. Her forehead had a gash cut in i, and she was also cut on the right cheek But tbis was nothing. It was soon found that tbe back of her neck was cot from ear to ear. Exceptionally soon Dr. Pharrand the people of the community were present. Dr. Pbarr examined tbe body and said that he had reasons to think that a satanio deed had also been committed upon her. THE VILLAINS CAUOHT. Io a short time tbe people of the community were infuriated to the highest extent and wers looking for the villain or villains that commit ted ths horrible crimes. They soon found that some one bsd called at ths houee of Mr. L S Bonds not far away and had cot two of Mr. Bonds' cows One of them is cut twice and tbe other once. Tbeir wounds show tbat it was done with a sharp in strument as also do the wounds on the face of the girl. Tbe negroes were both found near Mr. Frank Pharr's. A CONFESSION TO THE CliME. Tbe two negroes ctupht were Joe Kizer and Tom Johnson. After tbey were caugh', we are informed by quite a number of reliable people of tbat community, tbat Johnson tbo acknowledged to tbe ciime, bat at tbe same time said that Ktzer got bim to go with bim. He a'so con f sied tbat he haid the girl, but tbat K'zer did ths work. Tbis stitementis verified by a number, and tbey can vouch for it. About 6:30 o'clock Sheriff Buchanan received word of the horrible assault and muri der. He, together with a good force of deputies, at once went to the p'ace in No. 11 town ship. When they arrived Tom Johnson was in the hands of Deputy John Hill. Sheriff at once put Johnson in his bug gy and made for the jail here, but was followed the entire distance by a howling mob. Every precaution was made by the Sheriff to get the man to jail and when going through the streets herewith his pistol in his hand, was constrained to warn them emphatically that they must not lay their hands upon his prisoner. As foon as the Sheriff left out in No 11 township, the remaining part of the mob fol lowed the officers in pursuit of Kizer, and succeeded in capturing him at his home near Mr. Frank Pharr's. Mesurs. Pink Misenbeimer and Frank Weddington, who were deputized, together with Deputy Hill, brought Kizer here to jaiJ. Another large mob followed these men. But they at last succeeded t get ting them behind the bars, though the jail yard was simply a jam of people. From tbe time tbe negroes TRAGEDY. were brought to town seyeral hundred were standing abont and every few moments the crowd would holler for them to release the men and let the crowd take them and lynch them. OVERPOWEBED TBE OFFFICKRS. The officers tried to quell the angry mob, but this was impossible. The Sheriff and deputies, finding that they were in too large ' a crowd of spectators, went on the inside and held the doors shut. The mob then began to burst the glass and finally succeeded in knocking the doors open anerin .Buchanan was cut slightly by the breaking glass and son e one hit Policeman Boger on the arm. But now the officers were overpowered and they were compelled to give up and let them have their way. But while the crowd in the front of the jail was succeeding in gaining an entrance, some persons had succeeded in getting into the back hall by getting through a window in the dining room. No one was in the back hall to force them back except Jailer Hill. About thirty-five or forty men proceeded upstairs and commenced to break open the doors to halls and cell Joe Kizer threatened to kill his mate, Tom Johnson, and for this reason Jailer Hill had to put them in separate cells, The mob, before getting their prisoners, broke eight locks. The work of breaking open the cells was done by sledge hamnuj-i and rol 1-t 1 i-cli. At lO.Vi). they succteded in getting the ropes around their necks and hollered for the crowd to give way. The officers then stepped aside and had to let the pris oners go, to be handled not by the law, but by the angry mob, PROCEED TO HANGING GROUNDS. The mob then proceeded out by the old Lutheran church, and out by the Three Mile branch. The mob stopped at the branch to let them talk but they only stopped a short while. A Standard reporter talked to the prisoners as they were beiDg pushed along. Each one would relate some incident, but would tell him nothing to amount to anything. They would each describe the first part of the trouble, but when it came to the assault and the murder nothing is worth re peating as each claimed inno cence. Just before going down the Big Cold Water hill the mob turned to the left and pro ceeded about a quarter of a mile. After arriving at a suit able place for the hanging the crowd stopped. Rev. W C Alexander, who was doing all in his power to ward off the lynching, then spoke to the prisoners. In most emphatio tones he told tbem tbat tbey were now on tbe verge of being hanged and must now prepare to meet their God and not to dare to tell a lie. But tbe one's statements only im plicated tbe other, and you could hardly say that they openly denied it, neither did they confess it. Rev. Alexander arrived at tbe jil about 9 o'clock, and from tbe time he arrived he plead most earnestly with the people not to tiks thote persons from ths jail, but t) no avail. Tom Johnson then asked that Rev. Alexander pray for him. Rev. Alexander then prayed for tbem both. His prayer rendered was most pathetic THEY MEET DEATH. Scarcely bad bis prayer ended wben the negroes wers taken to s medium sizs dogwood tree and drswn up. No drop was given tbem at all, but they were simply drswn up. O'pourse tbeir bands wers as-. ourely tied behind their backs. Tbey were hanged at 10:44 and at 10:54 Drs. Reid and Burleyson, who were only spectators, pronounced them dead. B ood was found ou the pants of Tom J jhnson. I'IDDLED WITH BULLETS. After they bad been pronounced dead, some one gave tbe signal for all to s'pp back, and in a few mo ments tbeir bodies were being rid dled with bullets. After this ths crowd dispersed, leaving the bodies hanging, i Dr. Pharr stated to the persons present tbat the neck was also dislocated. Joe K'zer has a very bad name throughout the vicinity. Hs bas been living with several different women and it is thought by some of the officers since tbat papers bave been sent here not long ago for this same negro for abandoning his wife in another county. Johnson, we will have to say for him, had a very good name. But as for bis guilt his own confession is sufficient. There is good reasons to think that Joe Kizer certainly raped the girl and there is also soma suspicion tbat Johnson also did. One nociceable feature about tbe mob was thut no drunk peopls fig. ured prominently in it, neither was there but little cursing. Daring all the hollering in tbe jail yard no cursing scarcely if any was heard. CORONER'S INQUEST HELD. Coroner Denson Caldwell, togeth er with his selected men, went to the home of Mr. Hartsell this (Mon day) morning. Their virdict in substance was that she had come to her death by some unknown bsnd and that tbe Instrument used was very sharp. Dr. Lafferty, one who was in the consultation, after ex amination, declared that there wss oo doubt but tbat tbs girl had been ravished. . The court of inquest went oat to where ths bodies were hanging at nearly 2 o'olock. Tbeir verdict, of coo r si, was nothing more than a for mal report as is required. Ths bodies were found to be shot considerably, and had been bleeding d iring tbe nigbt. After tbe decls ion of the coroner's board was made the bodies were put iu coffins and taken to the county borne, where they were buried. The men selected for tbe coroner's icqaest were Messrs Philip Correll M t. Brown, R A Brower, D P Day vault, Robt. E Gibson and Will S uart. Souvenirs of d.ff.-reut kinds were taken by the orowd, snch as pieces of the ropes, limbs, parts of tbe cloth ing, etc. Joe Kizer looks to be at least 30 years of sge, and Tom Johnson is hardly mors than 23 years of sge. THE FUNERAL Tbe r mains of Mine Emma Hart- sail, daughter of M . and Mrs. S J Harteell, were laid to re?t in tbe c mttery at P.iplsrTeDt thw (Mon day) afternoon. M'se Ilartsell was an exception ally pretty girl and ber character is unstained and was a friend tc all io tb community, as was signal ized by the many and many sad facet". She was a member of the Presbyterian church at White Hall Tbe funeral was preached by her pastor, Rev. C F Rankin, which was of course touching and pa. tbetio.
