A GREAT PREACHER.
Delivering Splendid Sermons at the I
Methodist Church.
The series of meetings now beiufe
held in Camden by Dr. H. M. Whar
tton, of Baltimore, is progressing
very nicely. Dr. Wharton Is a most
attractive speaker and large con
gregations attend every service.
He is not an evangelist but he
does evangelistic work. He Is pas
tor of a church in Baltimore where
his labors have been greatly bless
ed as well as elsewhere. Dr. Whar
ton Is being assisted in the meet
ing by the sweet singer, Prof. Bush,
who captivates the audiences by
his beautiful solos. These meetings j
are being held under the auspices
of the Men 'and Religion Forward
Movement, of Camden, in the Lyt-j
tleton Street Methodist Church.
Services daily at 11 a. m., and

OUTLAW* KILL OFKIOIALH.
l>?Mitir01y Crlmo Committer! in Vir
rIiiIh Mountain Town.
HtUsvllle, Yu., March 14. A
troop of mountain outlaws rode
down out of the blue ltldge loday
to the Carroll county court houso
hero and assassinated the Judge up
on the bench, the prosecutor heforo
the bar and the sheriff at the -door
w|ill? sentence wall being pronounc
ed upon Floyd Allen, one of the
number.
When the crack of the rifles died
away ouly one member of the hu
man fabric of the court ? Dexter
Goad, the clerk ? was alive and he
had been wounded. Jurymeu and
onlookers were in the fusillade, but
none were wounded seriously.
The outlaws, with a good day's
start, are up in the mountain bush
with a citizens' posse In pursuit.
Sheriffs and deputies from neigh
boring counties can not reach here
before early morning. A'upeclal
train from Roanoke tonight brought
20 detectives to Qalax, the nearest
railroad station, nine miles away.
It WJll be midnight before these can
get over the mountain roads, hub
deep in spring mud. It probably
will be daylight before the forces
can be assembled.
Gov. Mann has offered a $3,000
reward for the capture of the as
sassins and holds State troops un
der arms for orders at Lynchbugr
and Roanoke.
Judge Thornton L. Mausle had
risen from his chair as the bullets
struck him and fell dead across his
desk. William Foster, common
wealth's attorney, with half a dozen
bullets In hls^bralnr^TOmpled down
to the floor. Sheriff Lewis Webb
was shot and killed as he reached
for his revolver and sprang forward.
Bullets grazed Goad and In the con
fusion he wfcs reported killed. Ju
rors who had been slightly wound
ed were reported dead, by that in
definable method of communication
which prevails In the woodland
country reports of a wholesale
slaughter were' spread to the coun
tryside.
The Cause of It All.
Floyd Allen wlas before the bar I
convicted of taking a prisoner from
a deputy sheriff. ? I
The sentence of Allen attracted I
an unusually large gathering to the;
quaint old red brick court house J
which stands on a green square
well in the centre of the village.
Those who could not get into the
small room peered through the win
dows, opened to fhe first days of
spring. < ?
Just as Allen was about to be
called up Tor ueuUmee his two broth
ers, Sidney and. Jack, at, the head
of a troop of about 20 mountaineers
road up to the court house.
. Armed Men Fill Court.
The brothers and their compan
ions, some carrying rifles and oth
ers armed with revolvers, crowded
into the small court room and stood
behind the rail and' about the doors.
Floyd Allen, aged 50, tall and gaunt
much the familiar type of mountain
eer, was In the dock
Judge Massle mounted the bench
apd Prosecutor Foster moved sen
tence upon Allen, who stood up. !
There was a shuffling of feet and I
a general movement among the mou
talneers in the back of the room,
but no sign to foretell the terrible
tragedy then In the minds of every
one of them.
The usual legal formalities over,
Judge Massle began pronouncing
sentence. The last words that fell
from his lips precipitated the trag
edy, . j
''One year at hard labor ? "
Before the last word was cold, ,
the fusillade began. Allen, mutter- 1
ing an oath that he would never |
go to to prison, sprang out of the I
prisoner's dock as Judge* Massle col-j
lapsed upon the bench. Another:
roar of shots and Prosecutor Foster'
was on the floqr in a heap. Sheriff
Webb was springing forward for his
prisoner when the lead found him.
Then, holding the panic-stricken
Jurors and onlookers at bay, altho
that probably was not necessary, the
assassins slowly backed out of the
court house and across the green
to their troop of ponies. In a sec
ond they were galloping like mad
men through the aroused village |
and off to the hills.
