Atlanta, Ga Dispatch, 22nd. - The excitement in the police de partment over the murder last night , of Policeman DeEray was not less ened today, when Recorder Broyles, the presiding judtre in the police court, overheard a conversation be tween three negroes in which one of them named three policemen whom he said would be the next to be kill ed by the negroes. The three offi cers named, according to Recorder Broyles, were Hollintrs worth, Rowan and Hollis. The recorder dots not attach much importance to the- in cident.

The murder last night makes the fourth time that an Atlanta police man has been shot to death while on duty in less than four years." In no case has the assassin been appre hended. In authorizing the city council to offer a reward, Mayor Minis in a special message saj's: j "Gentlemen: Again one of our brave, officers of the peace, Patrol maSi DeBray, has been assassinated while in the discharge of his dutj. He is the fourth upon the list of patrol nen within three ears to be thus murdered and no one murder has beeu avenytd by iaw. I deem the matter of bringing to justice the perpetrators of such dastardly deeds oi such great importance that I hope every officer and citizen will use his best efforts to apprehend the murderer. In addition to this I recommend that this honoraole body offer a substantial reward for the arrest of the person who shot and frilled Officer DeBray."

Slocum, of the Eighth Cavalrv, who was military attache with the British army dur ing the ear'y part of the Boer war, has made his report to the War De partment. At the time of tbe'Brit ish defeat at Colonso, December zo, 1899, Captain Slocum said he consid ered the situation of the Britisr most critical. They had been de feated all aUng the line, and had the Boers assumed offensive operations, the British army with long atd thinly guarded lines, would have been placed in great jeopardy. Cap tain Slocum also ws with Lord Ro berts, and describes in detail th" movement towards Kimberley. He savs that Roberts was confronted .with a crisH that would hae- stag gered and been the undoingrn many commanders-ir.-ohief. His advance to Kimberley aad beyond was Suc cessfully curried out and the surren der of General Cronj-4 changed the situation, and relieved the critica position of the Britisharmy. Speaking of the Bo?rs Capta:t Slocum sa;, s they were splendid on the defensive, but Jl'd not consider offensive ro v -ments as part of their proper tacics. He speaks of the British people as exemplifying the phrase "Brawto a fault, "and adds: "If they were less brave, then would have een less faults and more victories in this war. Caution 'hey have not, out just buit ahead and take the coi:seq-uees. Lord Roberts is a glaring exception to this rule All in all, I consider him" to be "a re markable m jn and general. " He says t h English artillery had tremendous preponderance over that ofifh Boers, who rarely ever used their artillery. Captain Slo cum says smokless powder enables an army to conceal itself, although artillery may be located by ithe flash. Balloons and powerful-telescopes musl be usrd to locate the enemy. Speaking f the march of the Brit ish army frai Bloemfontein to Pre toria, he d -f -Ms on the indifferenc of the officers to enforce, the order for af-ity and the reluctance of he sofdiers to entrench themselves The infantry never rush in their a 'acks, but march calm'y fo-ward Cap'ain SI- cum saw mounted mea waitinit for orders to advance, s:t erect, making a perfect target for theriuV at s-hort range.

Hall, Druggist About to Sell to Vanderbilt at Xast. ; Asheville Dispatch, 21st. A great many people have heard of the colored man with a homestead in the middle of the Biltmore estate, and who shows every inclination to let it remain there. The colored man's name is Charles C. Collins. It has been reported recently that Collins had changed his mind about keeping the property and that he was now willing to sell. This is a fact, but it still seems that Mr Vanderbilt will not be the purchaser. Today Collins gave the facts in the matter. He said: "I was born and raised fight here in Buncombe county, and I've been living on my place there at Biltmore 56 years that's how old I am." "Did Mr. Vandrbilt try to buy the property from you?" "No, he did not. But Mr. McNa mee did. That was five or six years ago. I dida't sell jup because I wanted to keep the place. I've got six acres there and it.s within ten minutes walk of Biltmore house. The Biltmore estate surrounds it e ntirely except one little place a few rods long, where it touches Mr. R. P. Walker 's property. "Mr. Baker down here on Pattnn avenue wants to buy the property ana 1 mtninking or making a deal with him, I'll give Mr. Vanderbilt the first chanee at it. If he don't want it then I'll sell to Mr. Baker. " "Did Mr. Vanderbilt want you;r property badly?" he was asked. "Well, no; I don't know that he did. It's down there in a place where it don't interfere with him much," Collins was a slave and . says so with an evident pride. . He is proud, too, of his raising, and of the posi tion he occupies as a property own er and a taxpayer. He is indignant at the prospect of being disfranchised. "He says he pays $30 a year taxes, and he thinks he ought to be allowed to vote, or else have, those who do vote pay his taxes. He is going away lo Phila delphia and giyes as a reason for his leavitfg what he considers the injus tice in his being disfranchised. Two of the Foster 31 urderers Lynched.

Both negroes made statements before death, denying that they had any thing to do with the killing. Smith, who was the head of the "Church of God" movement in that section, and was. blamed as being responsible for the sentiment against the whites, which led to the death of Foster, died prayings MoLand wasf silent as he was swung up. As Smith was being Jed from the jail prior to the execution he was heard to sav: "Lord, you promised to be with me now. There were about 200 armed men . in the mob and they overpowered the sheriff and jailer, taking the keys away from them. The lynch ers claimed that the execution of. these negroes was necessarv to the preservation of the fives of the white men in this locality. Negro Baby Found in Charlotte.
