A < negro killed a poor white peddler 1 near Huntsville. He was put in t jail. The mob set fire to the jail r endangering the lives of many 11 of the prisoner**, and when tho 1 murderer jumped from a window * they butchered hiua. The grand { jury recommends jhe impeach v ment of the sheriff, the maym and chief of police.- As the military officers on the ground are to he court-martialed, the grand ] jury goes no farther than to say j the commander was incompetent t and ignorant of his duty. The j civil officers signally failed and ] the action of governor and grand f jury is most gratifying.

Need It as Winter Quarters.?Tho Armies Only Feeliug Each Others Strength at l'rcseut. As to what may bo happening in the f ir East, there is little definite information from any <piar ter. l'he armies in tlie vicinity of Mukden appear to bo limiting their activities at present to fool ing ino position of their adversaries. It is supposed to bo the plan of the Japaneso to possess themselves of the passes of the Da mountain range before making a direct attack on Mukden. Strategic and present considerations seem to make it essential that Gen. Kuropatkin make a stand there and prevent the town from being made the winter headquurtors of tho .Japanese, while the lack of adequate facilities eisowhere for the housing of troops during a rigorous Manchurian winter make it necessary that the Japanese bond all their energies to the capture of that town. Captured by Japanese. London, Sept.' 20.- Baron Iiayashi, the Japaueso minister, reports that Field Marshal Oyania wires to Tokio that in addition to other stores captured at Liao Vang tho Japanese obtained 80,000 bushels of grain and 500 tons of fuel.
