A protracted meeting was being held by the negroes at Beulah church, and the greatest excitement prevailed. Deputy, coroner S. A. Norris held the 1 inquest at the. church. . The testimo- ny showed that, in! a perfect fienzy of fanaticism,-Jones-was' .killed by Rev. A. H. Durant, the negro pastor, and one Richard Campbell, a prominent member of the church, because the de ceased had expressed his doubts about the supernatural power of Durant to kill and restore to life, and that was a test case, but the experiment failed. A large number of Durant's congrega tion believed that he possessed super natural power until he failed in this case. The finding was that Jones was murdered by Richard Campbell and A. H. Durant. The jury was compos ed of intelligent colored men, and the coroner complimented them on their verdict. The prisoners are in jail. ; , . Religious Services Tomorrow. Baptist Church. 9:45 A. m.

She is the impersonation "of unconscious grace as natural as heaven's blue. You should see her you will not feel that an evening has been lost. Miss Sew ard will present a brilliant repertoiie of plays, chief among which are her own successful; "Flossie," and "A Life for a Life."

The costuming will be appro priate, the stage settings elaborate, and no expense or labor spared by the management to present a strictly first class attraction, one worthy of its charming little star, and meriting the confidence and liberal patronage ot an intelligent public. j It has been my sole aim' to present the very best, and feeling sure that hoiiest endeavors will ever win the approbation and esteem of the people, I have the honor to subscribe my self, the public's, very obedient ser vant, H.
