REAL MURDERER OF FOSTER NOT YET CAPTURED THE JAIL ATI BOSSIER CITY BROKEN INTO BY A IMOB AMD THE NEGROES THERE TAKEN OUT TO SWELL THE NUMBER UNDER GUARD. Shreveport, La., June 13. Peter Ed wards the actual murderer of John. E. Poster, ds still uncaptured tonight. There has been much excitement and open talk of lynching the number of prisoners carralled in a country store charged with aiding the murderers to escape. These prisoners consist of three aneii and? eight women end their chil dren, this evening the prisoners were taken in charge by a posse who started with them to Benton It is report ed, however, that they will not be taken that far ibut -will he held in' the (woods to await developments. Up to a late hour this afternoon there seemed! to be little doubt that summary vengeance would be meted out to some If not all of the prisoners. Throughout the night and far into the forenoon the approaches to Shreveport 'bore a mar tial appearance. 'Men armed with, Win chesters, pistols and shot guns, tofoot and on horseback, could Ibe seen as far as the eye could reach. It was a night of terror and ibrought forcibly to mind the days of reconstruction when Shreve port was the head center of the white league movement. It seems marvellous after the night was passed, that not a single -shot was fired by those 'who guarded the places in 'which the nrlght- ened negroes are Imprisoned, aaarly this morning tine Shreveport posse of sixty men withdrew to this side of the river to escape the death scenes which Capt. H. iP. "Wells, in commandX saddi were in evitable. "There is absolutely no doubt," said Capt. Wells, "that they will hang 'Prophet' 'Smith." Smith is generally considered to have been at the bottom of the conspiracy that resulted in the murder of Foster. , At dawn a message from Kinnebrew's said that the armed citizens guarding the negroes had! concluded to make an other effort to capture Prince Ed wards, the murderer, 'before dealmg with his alleged accomplices. There were were ten negroes confined in the jail at Bossier City, and it was decided to take them to Kinnebrew's store in or der that the entire negro crowd' might (be under one roof. Two posses were isent out by the citi zens. One went In search oif Edwards who was reported to be hiding on an adjoining the plantation. The other marched to Bossier City and secured the negroes in jail at thfait place. No resistance was offered the mob and the frightened negroes men and women, were marched to Kinnebrew's and plac ed with Smith and Ms fellow prisoners. At 9 o'clock it seemed to Ibe rtlhe de termination of the citizens to lynch Smith and another negro named Wash fngtonj who helped Edwards to escape and )aifterwards denied that he had idonie so. It was also planned! to lynch the 'wife of Edwards, the murderer, and Adlee Alen butt a great many op posed this and urged the stripping and whipping of the women. Houston, Tex., June 13. 'Many ne groes here were induced to go to Shreve port during the winter toy a negro preacher calling himself Elijah, the prophet. He created a great furore among Ignorant black, and predicting dire disaster . finally -persuadied! about 200 of them, to go to Louisiana in order to avoid death in the prophesied destruction of Houston. Men and women deserted their unbelieving part ners and! mnjsmy childreni were taken along. It was ascertained afterward that (Smith (the name of the self-styled phophet) who te among those, who are jmder ainrest - was acting as agent for planters who were short of help and had used his influences as an exhorter Bainmocka at cost at Blomberg's. t?!xto flfrain raiiflpfl noth.; Druirs . re lieve only .; temporarily Properly nt.td classes "remove tae cause ana effect A permanent cure. ; Examina- j 'J M 1 '""-its-" -.' aons irec. , - . v '; ; f Scientific Optician, Opposite Postofficei 64 Patton Ave. 1.

THE IIIDUSTRIAL GOIIVEIITIOII'S WORK Topics of National Interest Discussed At Yesterday's S ssion. Philadelphia, June 13. Topics of na tional interest were discussed at the third day's session of the Southern In dustrial convention. One of the most important of these was the "Nicara guan canal; why has it not been built?" and during the debate on tJhis question many sound arguments were advanced in favor of the speedy con struction of the waterway. This dis cussion on "The Mississippi River and Tributaries" was participated in by specially appointed speakers from New Orleans, Memphis, Shreveport, St. Louis,: Nashville, Chattanooga, Knox ville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Wheeling, and Pittsburg. "How our rivers and harbors should be provided for," another important subject, was also discussed. (Realizing the importance of the topics most of the delegates were early in their seats, and though the weather was uncom fortably warm, there was no lack of interest in the proceedings. The discussion of the Nicaragua canal was opened! by Sewell C. Cobb, of Pen sacola, Fla. He said in part: "Five hundred and fifty millions of people of the far east, for half a cen tuiry Rave entreated! tus to open a highway through the narrow strip of land that connects the two great con tinents of America, but we have had at the helm of the ship of state men of limited maritime information and a deaf ear has been turned to their re quests. When our military arm sought opportunity or promotion (In rank, our officials rushed Into conflict With a people of less than ten m'illions to in oculate them with benevolent assimi lation, expending upwards of $300,000,000 and of countless lives. This money ex pended in th.e other .process, "comaner ciai assimiisatlon" would have con structed the Nicaragua canal and es tabjisbedl lines of steamships nuanSbering not less than one hundred each of five tnousana tons capacity, carrying our own products. "The twentieth century calls for hu man advancement. We of the, eouth learned at the close of the war that if we could develop our resources the mili tary arm must be subservient to the civil authority. "The (Clayton-Bulwer treaty is only a pretext for delay. We caininot con cede the right of any nation to dictate either locality or mlanner of occupation to those whose mutual interests de mand a work free from all entangling alliances." At the evening session Gen. Davis, of Doylestown, presented to the Charles ton delegation the confederate naval flag taken in 1864 from the Hooker of the confederate ram Chicora. HOT BIG ENOUGH TO TEMPT TOM JOHIISOH Mayor of Cleveland Would Refuse Nomination for Governor, Cleveland, June 13. (Notwithstanding the fact that local delegates to the democratic state convention are boom ing iMayor Johnson for governor John son sent a despatch this afternoon to a Hamilton paper which asked hlmi If he was at candidate, eaying: "Absolutely no truth in statement .

Mam FOR A CUBAN REPUBLIC Convention Will Now Prepare for Election of Indepen . dent Government. . Not Likely ItWill be Estab lished Before Oar Con gress Meets in December. TROOPS WILL PROBABLY REMAIN TILL NEXT YEAR WHEN CONSTITUTION IS 'COM PLETED IT WILL BE FORWARD ED TO WASHINGTON IFOR AP PROVAL. Havana, June 13. The constitution al convention having adopted the Piatt amendment will now proceed to form ulate an election law and prepare for the election of an independent govern ment. Washington, June 13 The view is gen erally 'expressed in official circles that the main, obstacle to independence of Cuba has been removed by the adoption of the Piatt amendment. It is not like ly, however, that a government for the island will be established before con gress assembles in December when an opportunity will be afforded for any ad ditional legislation necessary before the United States relinquishes the is land . At the earliest it is not believed that the American troops can be with drawn until next year. With the adoption of the Piatt amend ment practically nothing remains to make the constitution satisfactory to this government. When the constltu tion is completed it will be sent to Washington for approval. Meantime the convention will devote itself to the enaj$ jjrent -of ! an election law, which has ' already, received the approval of the administration. Should it pass in the present form nothing will remain to make the republic of Cuba a fact but the election of officers and their inauguration. AWFUL EXPERIENCE OF A FISHING GREW Live3 Lost in an Attempt to Get a Life Lirie Ashore From a Wreck. St. Johns, June 13 Fishing schooner Czar was wrecked Sunday on Cabot island.
