Mob of Several Hundred Men One
Man Pat to Death Near the Jal IThe
Other. Tahea TweWe Mile, to Deal.
Axir Citt, La. (8peelol).-The lmehiag
here Wednesday nifjht of the colored mur
derers, Arch Joiner, John Johnson and Uns
Williams proves to have been tbe most ex
traordinary tragedy of Its kind ever re
corded in the annala or the South. Ail the
men were man-killers, and were taken from
the Amite City Jail. The original idea had
heen to barn Johnson and Joiner, bnt this
was abandoned at the last moment
The lynching was not unexpected. It had
been proclaimed again and again that if
Johnson and Joiner were brougbr baekto
Ii2gJPft5j PAri8h thy on,d lynched,
and lor tint reason the moment thny were
eaplured they were hurried to New Orleans
and confined in the prison there.
They were taken baok to Amite Oily for
trial, under the belief that they eould be
protected. This idea soon disappearei
when it was 4ound that the lynchers were
well organised and ha l male arrangements
lor the lynching at any hazard. When the
time same the law aud order element were
unwilling to risk their Utos for the mur
derers. The lynching party had an easy time of it;
Two hundred armed men rode into Amiie
City about 10 o'clock and were Joined there
by a larger party. There wus no attempt at
resistance. The doors of the JhII were
broken in and the steel cage where the mur
derers were confined was smashed.
The mob originally had no Intention of in
juring Williams, who was confined in tbe
jail for the murder of his wife, but it was
determined nerertbeless to lyneh him and
rid the parish of all the murderers at the
same time, and be was strung to a tree on
the outskirts of the town and rid lied with
bullets. Johnson and Joiner, the other two
prisoners, witnessed this lynching and were
Tery muoh excited over it.
As soon as Wdliams was disposed of the
moo started with the other murderers, who
killed the entire Cotton family or five, for
the scene of their crime, the Cotton home
stead, twelve miles away. Ir was a lonj? and
dreary march, for the rain fell in torrents.
The two coiored men were prodded with
stkdcs and forced to march till finally through
fear and fatigue they gave out, completely
exhausted. Tbfcn a cart was hitched up and
Ihey were placed in it. It was nearly day
light when the Cotton place was reached.
The mob was thoroughly drenched by that
time. An immense bonfire was prepared for
the burning and the two prisoners were
called on to confess. It was determined to
for e the confession from thorn by the ordeal
of fire.
The bodies pf both men were placed over
Ihe blazing Are, .their c'othes were burned
and their bodies scorched, and, thoroughly
terrified, they confessed their story of the
murder. Toe-mob was eager by this time for
the lynching, an! both men were carried a
uarier of mile from the Cotton place ana
hanged. The mob then opened fire and three
hundred bullets were lodgira in the bodies of

WRITES TO GOVERNORS.
Comptroller Rekles Wants Them to
Recommend Changes in Legislation
to Secure Bank 8 ta tla tics.
James H. Eckles, Comptroller of the
Treasury, has sent a letter to the Gov
ernors of ell the States asking them to
recommend legislation to secure uni
formity in the collection of banking sta
tistics in the different States.
The revised statutes authorize the
Comptroller to make a statement in his
annual report exhibiting the resources
and liabilities of banks and banking
companies and savings banks, organ
ized tinder the laws of the several States
and Territories. There is no other
officer in the United States charged by
law with the duty of collecting and pub
lishing banking statistics. It is neces
sary therefore for the Comptroller to
have the required information.
At present a number of the States
make no provisions for the submission
of reports from banks and bankers to
any officer of State.
In North Carolina th aafiafiAa r
banks and banking are collected by the
State Treasurer, who requires each
bank to publish regularly a full state
ment of its resources and liabilities. The
statistics are therefore easily available.

He Plan IassMeetlngg for February
22d.
The most important feature of the
conference of the leaders in the Com
monweal conference, which was held in
St Louis, Mo. , is a resolution of Gen
eral Jacob S. Coxoy, calling for a sec
ond assembling of the unemployed
workingmen all over the country for the
purpose of making such a demonstra
tration as shall appeal to the legislative
branches, not only of Congress, but of
every State, in the hope of inducing
legislation thatwill ameliorate the pres
ent condition of the workinguian. In
short, General Coxey's resolution is a
revival of the agitation of a couple of
years ago, which resulted in the famous
march of the Commonweal army to
Washington. r
This resolution, which is destined to
become as famous as Coxey's first proc
lamation, calls upon the unemployed
workingmen of every city and hamlet in
the United States to assemble in the
public square or other public places on
February 21. Washington's birthday,
in open mass-meetings. The purpose
of these meetings is to demonstrate fn
the most practical manner the extent of
distress and destitution prevail;ng
throughout the country by reason of
the scarcity of work.
