TIFTON, Ga., Sept. 14.-A negro was arrested at Ty Ty yesterday and posi tively identified as one of the two ne groes who assaulted Mrs. Johnson at that place Monday last.

Search for the other negro continues. Ed Henderson is the name of the ne gro lynched. He had been working for Mr. John Rigdon, at his cotton gin, in Tifton, for three years, and had a sister living at Ty Ty. He went to visit her Sunday and returned Monday evening, a few hours after the crime was com mitted. Suspicion first pointed to him on account of the fact that he staid hid out at Ty Ty Thursday evening until his si'ler had bought a ticket to Tifton. He was questioned and his answers were so evasive as to arouse suspicion. He was arrested and carried before Mrs. Johnson, who at once positively identi fled him. Several negroes had been carried be. fore her dn-inz the da- and all were pronounced tItAe r.roug men, but as soon as she saw Henderson her identification was instantaneous. Her little brother also identified Hen. derson as one of the men he saw assault inc his sister. Identification being positive, the citi zens who hai the negro in charge strung him up, afterwards riddling his body with bullets. HEIRS ASK FOR DAMAGES. Croft Homestead Wrecked by Volun te-rs at Greenville. GREENVILLE, S. C., Sept. 14.-Cap tain J. L K. Davis, acting inspector general of the department of the gulf, has been here for some days investigat. ing claims for damages filed in the war department by heirs of Mrs. E W. Croft. The dam.ages, it is alleged, were done at the Croft homestead, an old mansion near Greenville, by members of the New Jersey and Massachusetts regi. ments, while in Camp Weatherill last winter. It seems that an old negro with the garrulous ways of his race, told the sol. diers a dazzling yarn, full or interest ing and substantiating details, of hidden treasures. They were assured that the Croft family, which was rich, had hid den on the premises during the civil war a vast store of gold and silver that had never been found. The house was un occupied, but contained many articles of value, chiefly on account of their asso. ciation. The soldiers made expeditions to the old place, sounded every inch of ground for acres around with rods, broke open the house, bored into the walls in hun. dreds of places, removed bricks from the chimneys and did $1,000 damage and several hundred dollars' worth of hard work, if they had been profitably em ployed, in trying to verify the negro's fairy tale. It is said the claim will be paid by the government. EXHIBIT FROM BIRMINGHAM. Southear't Exnof: -, to 1e Held Iii N w York N x! .31i:th. BxIINHAM, Ala., Spt. 18.-John J.

IS.-Circuit Judge Townsend has filed a written opinion in the case of the South Caro. lina and Georgia, now the Southern railway, against the American Tele phone and Telegraph company, which involves the question of rights of way along the line of the railroad. Judge Townsend decides that the temporary restraining order heretofore issued against the telephone company be continued until the bearing of the case upon its merits at the approaching term of the Orangeburg circuit court. The telephone company had filed its bill in equity to acquire the necessary rights of way along the line of the old South Carolina and Georgia line. The plaintiff brought the proceedings under a special act passed at the last session of the general assembly. Under the code the defendant has 20 days to answer the complaint. Before this time had expired the railroad brought a proceeding attacking the con stitutionality of the act and prayed for an injunction. Judge Townsend granted a temporary restraining order and issued a rule against the telephone company to show cause why it should not be made permanent. The decision of Judge Townsend now con tinues this injunction against the tel. ephone company until the case is heard on its merits. It is.very likely that the telephone company will give notice of appeal to the supreme court and have the ques tion settled there as early as possible. ALGER OUT OF THE RACE.
