BLOODY SCENE ATTHE JAIL
UNI
X. CONVICT ATTACKS
OVERHEEH WHITE.
The Overseer, In Self Defense.
Bhoota the Prisoner In the Left
aide Several Persona are Bruis
ed In the Melee.
There was a blood v scene at the
county jail on Eagle street tnis morning.
And as a result one man lies at death's
door, while two others are suffering from
severe bruises.
About 7 o'clock this morning people in
the vicinity of the jail were startled by
two reports of a pistol following each
other in rapid succession.
This told of trouble at the county bas
tile, and rumors ol every imaginable
sort were soon afloat, to the effect that
the prisoners had assaulted and over
powered the jailor and were escaping,
that several had been killed and that tbe
residents near were in terror.
The news spread rapidly and when Tub
Citizkn arrived at the jail large crowds
were surrounding the enclosure, discuss
ing the trouble.
Entering the yard and going in the jail
building proper, Thk Citizkn found a
half dozen officers in the corridor sur
rounding the cell, while sitting on top ot
the cell was a negro man, armed with a
murderous looking club, and defying the
offictrs.
At this time Deputy Sheriff Morgan
and officer Snms, of the police force, ar
rived, and going near the negro, com
manded him to surrender.
The negro then dropped his club, and
allowed himself to be hauled down.
How It Occurred.
The cause which led up to this scene
was as follows:
This morning about 7 o'clock, H. H.
White, overseer of the convicts in the
county chain gang, went to the jail for
the purimse of getting the men rcadv to
go to their work, northwest of the city,
near tne rmicn urontl.
Mr. White had bad considerable trouble
with one of the convicts, Wilson Mur-
hce, a negro, in getting him to work.
Murthee, had, Mr. White snvs.been inso
lent and shirking for several days, ami
ne nad nnniiv torn mm on yesterday
that he would punish him by whipping
this morning belore they .went to their
worn.
With this end in view Mr. White and
Jailer Jamison entered the corridor this
morning at the hour named, and, un
locking the door of the big double cell in
the center of the jail where the prisoners
are kept, brought Murthee into the cor
ridor. Mr. White demanded of Murthee that
he remove his c at and vest and submit
to the chastisement. The prisoner made
as if he would obey, but kept retreating
until out of Mr. Vt lute s reach, all the
time unbuttoning his vest.
A Terrible Plant.
Suddenly, with a curse, be ran his hand
into his pocket and jerking out an open
imcket knife sprang upon Mr. White,
lie made several passes at the overseer,
cutting him once on the head, just above
the left car, and hitting him a stunning
blow in the eye.
Then, seeing that the negro, now half-
craxy with rage, wns intent npon killing !
him, Mr. White pulled out the pistol he
was carrying and shot at Murthee,
aiming at his leg.
The ball did not strike the netrro. but
only pnssed through the clothing. Even
this did not stop the negro, and he
sprang at Mr. While again, and the
officer fired the second time, the ball
entering the negro's body on the left side,
About midway between the shoulder and
hip.
All this had haiiiiened in much less time
than it takes to relate it. Jailor Jamison
rnn to Mr. White's assistance.
Instead of submitting after receiving
the wound, the negro bcuan a fiercer
fight than ever. He caught up a plank
which was lying in the corridor, and
struck everything that came in his reach.
Mr. White received n heavy blow across
the left hand, and Jailor Jamison was
given a terrible blow in the left side,
breaking one rib and almost disabling
him. He was also struck on the leg.
At Bay.
Fiially, however, Murthee dropped
the plunk and climbed to the top of the
cell by the iron lattice work of the outer
cell. He had secured a ten-foot pole
which had been used in the buildine bv
Jailor lamison's family in hanging out
clothes.
Then from his perch above the hends
of the officers, Murthee cursed and defied
them to take him.
Several city police arrived about this
time, but as they could not bring the
negro down without shooting him, he
was left alone until the arrival ot Deputy
Sheriff Morgan, who, deputizing the
other officers, brought Murthee down at
stated above.
During the melee consternation reigned
in the jail. The county prisoners stood
huddled together in the cell within a few
feet and saw the terrible fight in which
their fellow prisoner was engaged, while
the thoroughly infuriated negro's curses
could be plainly heard outside the jail
yard.
Alter quiet Bad been restored the pris
oners were taken out, searched, and sent
to work. Murthee wat taken into the
cell and placed on a mattress, and Dr.
Weaver, county physician, sent lor.
Dr. Weaver made an examination of
the wounded man, but did not probe the
wound, concluding to wait until the re
action set in. A further examination
will be made late this afternoon or to
night. Dr. Weaver is of the opinion tbat
the man will die, though his strong con
stitution may enable him to recover.
Says He Found the Knlle.
Sheriff Reynolds went down to tbe jail
as toon as he heard of the occurrence,
and talked with Murthee. The negro,
groaning in agonv all the while, told the
sheriff that he had found the knife, which
is an ordinary donble-bladed one, with
one three-inch blade, in the yard of the
jail on Monday, and had bad it secreted
ever since tnat time.
Murthee is a short, very muscular ne
gro, and has been regarded as the most
dangerous man in the chain gang, tie
was sentenced at the last term of the
criminal court, to four years at hard
labor on the county roads, tor stealing
from Vanderbilt's store at Biltmorc. He
is an ex-convict, and came from the east
era part of the state. He is about SO
years old.

serious one, and he can scarcely walk.

received a blow on the left hand which is
very painful, and also several blows in
tue eye and on the nose. None ol nis in
juries art considered serious, however.
' Mr. White was Right.
Some doubts have been expressed as to
Overseer White's authority to chastise
the prisoners in his charge, ,
In this connection it may be stated
that hv the authority of tha nadl laar
I passed by the lost session of tbe legisla
ture, the prisoners sentenced to work in
the chain gang are governed precisely as
are the convicts in the state penitentiary.
The rules laid oat and observed in the
'pen" give overseers the power to ad
minister punishment to refractory pris
oners. This will set to rest any doubt
about Mr. White's authority, as Mur
thee has been unusually unruly and inso
lent for several days past.
Rather Die than Submit.
She riff Reynolds went down to the jail
again this afternoon and talked to Mur
thee. In reply to the sheriff's question
why he made the assault Murthee said
he "would rather die than be whipped "

Knoxviixr, Tcnn., July 8. In the
chancery court the chancellor decided ad

This suit has attracted much interest
locally us some $450,000 worth of prop
erty in West Knaxville was involved.
Mrs. aniclcis, thirty-seven years ago,
when
a married woman and under 21
, years of aee joined her husband in con-

every point of the plaintiff nnd held that
the statute of 1852 of peaceable posses-
tion wns a bar to her recovery.
The

AN ANTE-BELLUM FOURTH
RALEIGH'S CELEBRATION RE
SKHBI.KD IT.
Politics Become More Sennlnle
A Great Crowd and No Acci
dents The Oration The Race
Fine Display of Fireworks.
Raleigh, N. C.July 6. The national
anniversary, as it was celebrated here
on Saturday, resumed same of its old
ante-bellum characteristics, and enkin
dled again, if less brightly than before,
some of the old flameof patriotism. For
a long time the southern people have
been willing to let the occasion fall into
"innocuous desuetude." It was mock
ery to celebrate the achievement of lib
erties apparently lost, or insultingly
transfered to the former servile race, who
celebrated their change of condition with
jubilnnt insolence, ot yet quite toned
down to well balanced moderation.
But of late affairs hare changed for the
better. Politics have become more sensi
ble, sentiment more just, nntionnl feeling
more evenly diffused, a common interest
more generally recognized, mutual confi
dence more strongly re-established, and
the prevalent sentiment is a proud and
secure one that the American people have
one country and a common flag.
I cannot say that there was much ex
ultation manifested here in the recogni
tion of those latter facts. The blows re
ceived by the south were too heavy and
too recent to be torgottcn nt once. Nev
ertheless they nre healing; and the pa
triot might have looked on with pleas
ure at the striking manifestations of re
vived love of country in the profuse dis
play of the national flag, in the crowds
of the new generation to whom the past
is only a history, whose experience is un
alloyed with bitter memories and whose
present and whose future is all bright
ness. Everybody Out.
The procession wns not as splendid as
wat expected, because the military and
the farmers drum corps were absent.
The Durham band, a fairly good one,
headed the line. The carriages with the
clergy, orator, readen, judget of the su
preme court, the press, and certain hon
ored guests among whom 1 was num
bered, rame next, and the whole wns
closed with the fine fire companies with
their equipments. Of this department
Raleigh is very justly proud. The day
was a very beautiful one, cool and cloud
less, and everybody who could get out
crowded the streets nnd swelled the
crowd.
A place wat prepared for the orntor at
the wett front of thecnpitol a temporary
platform being extended from the por
tico. The large audience were scattered
under the shade of the trees, and kept
cool, if not comfortable; for every one
had a stand except the few invited to the
platform. Here, at the time fixed, the
exercises commenced, alter prayer bv
Dr. Carter, with the reading by Mr.
Charles J. Merrimon, son of Hon. A. S.
Merrimon, of the Mecklenburg declara
tion, prefaced by a well conceived intro
duction. Then Capt. IJcnson, with an
eloquent introduction read the immor
tal Declaration of .lmlcprndrice in a i
voice so full and manner so impressive as
to give that hackneyed document new
claims to reverence and admiration.
The orntor of the day was Capt. Thomas
W. Mason, now one of the railroad com
missioners. He spoke without notes,
with fluent utterance, animated gesture
and with impressive force. His sfieech
wns woven round the central sentiment
of patriotism, eloquently handled nnd
finely illustrated. It is too fine us well
as too long a sieech to be treated of iu a
brief letter. It is well reported in the
Raleigh paiers, and extracts from it may
be republished with profit to the county.
The Races.
All day long trains were running out
to the Fair grounds to witness the races
advertised. I went out at 2 p. m. and
found a gny gathering of three or four
thousand people, watching theoccnsionnl
trials of speed in harness and under the
saddle, but which were too far between
to engage my interest. Some thirty or
forty entries were mnde. 1 cannot aay
that tbe affair was a failure; it certainly
was not in the eves of those most inter
ested : but I confess to indifference from
the absence of continuity and also of
enthusiasm.
The Greatest Attraction
The switch back railroad with double
track, and swift flying cars, seemed to be
more attractive than anything un the
grounds. Their starting point is eleva
ted about fifteen feet above the ground
and alter abrupt descent, they rise in the
eentre to alKiut the same height!!, then
again descend, and again rise to their
goal. The whole run is about 150 yards
and is made with swiftness, and must be
verv exciting to those who make it.
The day was closed with a display of
fire works on tbe front ot the cnpitol
square looking down Fayetteville street.
These things are always well done here,
and the whole population win nut as
spectators. Not only were balconies and
sidewalks filled, but the streets them-
telvet were packed. No vehicles were
allowed on the streets, and from side to
side the open spaces were piled with
chairs or benches or dry goods boxes. It
was a promiscuous jam of all ages, sexet,
condition! and colon; and probably
there were tix or eight thousand specta
tors in the immediate vicinity of the cnp
itol.
A Surpassing Display.
Tbe display of fireworks was splendid,
surpassing anything I ever saw. One of
the most beautiful was the national
rotnan candle, throwing up a great
shower of silver stars which, as they
ascend, throw out start of every color of
the rainbow. Ibc national candle
throw out stars red, white and blue so
rapidly and brilliantly that the airseemed
ne national colors. inc
the tailors" and the "Dra
gon's tests" are similar in their effects,
throwing up fountains of exploding elec
tric stars, which high up in the air, take
the torm ot forty dragons spiritual at
tacking and chasing each other, crossing
and re-crossing in showers of angry
sparks. One of the most beautiful objects
of all was the willow tree rockets, which
ascended the height of several hundred
feet and then burst, and unfolded into
curving, slowly descending streams ol
golden cords which gracefully intertwined
and with gentle waving and gradually
expanding lines, retained their splendor
until they almost toucneo tne ground
During the whole day not a mishap oc
curred.

DEATH CAME AT ONCE.
The Killing at sing Slug Was a
"Success."
Sing Sing, July 8. The approximate
time of the turning on of current
in the killing of the murderers
here yesterday wus: Slocum, 4:40;
Smiler, 5:10; Wood, 5:3(1; Jugiro, 0:U5.
The prisoners had received some infor
mation beforehand that the executions
were to take place in the morning mid
they were prepared for them. They
went to the execution chuir bravely ami
met their fate without resisting the
keepers when they were bound down in
the chair.
The electrodes were not applied -is in
the Kemmlcr case to the top of the skull
and base of the spine; but were bound to
the foreheads of the condemned men and
the calvct of their legs. The current wus
turned on in each case for twenty seconds
ami tne voitngel was about 1,500 and
1,700. In each case were apparent evi
dences of revival, as in the Kemmlcr
case, und in each ot these lour
cases the current was turned on the sec
ond time. In spite of the fact that the
sponges were kept constantly wet, all ol
the executed men were burned by the
current, and especially tbout the calves
of the legs. The medical men present
agree tnat aeatn came on tlie tirst con
tact, and that the seeming revival wus
merely rencx muscular action.
None of the witnesses were overcome
by fright, and all of them who have
spoken have made th. i statement that
the electrodes were successful and that
death in all cases was instantaneous anil
painless.
Killed Instantly.
Ci.KVKi.iNo, Tenn., July 8. This morn
ing Rev. amea Johnson, who lives about
eight miles from the city on the flrowdcr
road, started to town on a mule. After
mounting, his wile handed him a tin
bucket at which the mule took fright and
ran away, throwing Mr. Johnson, und
reports says he wus killed almost in
stantly, his skull being crushed.
