TAY LOU. EU?NS OF A BURNED CITY. Remarkable DiucovcrlcH Made in Che Stnto ol'Conhuiln Mexico. Dr Nicolas Leon, the archaeologist and ethnologist of thc National Museum of Mexico, has returned to the City of Mexico after a stay of two weeks in the State of Coahuila, where he made a number of important in vestigations, of the remarkable finds of thc remains of cities and animals of antediluvian times. In giving an account of the trip for thc first time the doctor said: "Thc discoveries that have been made at Pardoe, in Coahuila, are the most extraordinary of their kind that have been made in Mexico and very possibly anywhere in the world. The excavations that have been made so far show that a large city was burned not far from the present town of Par adoo by an immense amount of earth, which was evidently washed down from the mountains by Hood. How long ago the catastrophe occurred cannot as yet be determined. "Portions of buildings so far un earthed show that tile city-at least the largest of the cities that was cov ered by tile debris of the Hood, there being at least three cities destroyed was very extensive. The indications are that there were many massive structures Jn the fallen city and that they were of a class of architecture not to be found elsewhere in Mexico. According to thc estimates of thc scientists under whose directions the excavations arc now being made the city in question had u population of at least 50,000. "The destruction which was wrought by the flood was complete. All the inhabitants of the cities were killed, as well as all the animals. Skeletons of the human inhabitants of the cities and of thc animals are Btrewn all through the debris, from a depth of three feet from the surface to a depth of sixty feet, showing that all the debris was deposited almost at once. Measurement show that the debris is on an average sixty feet deep where the largest of the cities stood. "Most remarkable of the minor finds that have been made at Paradon is that of the remains of elephants. Never before in the history of Mexico has it been ascertained positively that elephant were ever in the service of the ancient inhabitants. Tlie remain of the elephants that have been found at Paradon show plainly Unit the In habitants of the buried cities made elephants work for them. Elephants were as much in evidence in thc streets of the cities as horses. Upon many of the tusks that have been found were rings of silver. Most of the tusks encountered so far have an average length, for grown elephants, of three feet and an average diameter, at the root?pf six incUes. Judging from tiiu remains of thc elephant so iar unearthed the animals were about 'ten feet high, from sixteen to eigh teen feet in length, dillering very lit tle from those at present in existence. "The Hood which destroyed the ancient cities did not have any con nection whatever with the deluge, as far as what can be learned by scienti lic investigation is concerned. Tlie Coahuila flood was con li ned entirely to the district in which the cities that were destroyed stood. The Hood re sulted from an immense cloudburst, perhaps the most extraordinary that tlie world lias ever known, from the bursting of some great natural re servoir In thc mountains or from some cause as yet inexplicable. The sugges tion which has been made by some in vestigation that the cities were de stroyed by landslides does not hold good, according to the Government geologists at work on the subject." Murder and Suicide. A special to Tiie Journal from Oshkosh, Wis., says: Tilomas II. Morgan, the milliouair sash and door manufacturer, was shot to death Tuesday by Fredrick Jlanipel, a dis charged employe. 11 am pel was over powered and taken to jail, where he committed suicide later by hanging himself when no one was watching. Ilampel made a noose out of lils sus penders, then tied thc other end to a liar of his cell. Winnini A?iii hint WoiUttll. News comes from Chattanooga, Tenn., that Mrs. Melle Toliver had shot and killed Mrs. .lames Williams, near Plessan, an isolated place In the Coal Creek coal region. Williams, tlie husband of the dead woman, on com ing home and learning of thc tragedy, shot twice at Mrs. Toliver, but with out effect. The cause of the shooting is not known. Thc woman was ar rested. Tho* Eomahtic Fin?irj& o? TWO Hun ' il " :.- .' dred Thousand Coins JN A EIVIII OVEE iii ??JGL?ND. man who cnn resist thb fascination of bidden gold which a happy .inspira tion, a kindly hi ut from capricious Fortuno, may make his own, says Tit-Bits. Certainty, as long as man is merely human, thc prospect of thus easily winning thc meuns to make life smoother or to achieve some pct ambi tion will always be irresistibly attrac tive to him. And thc charm of lt is that For tune often smiles on a man just when lie least expects lt, and when he has made every effort to woo her. A glance through the records of dis covered treasures speedily proves this, and lilis thc least sanguine or clever of us with hope that, afterall, he may be thc favored one. Take, for instance, that romantic unearthing of 200,000 coins in thc lied. <if thc Uiver Hove, in Staffordshire, seventy-two years ago. Home work men were engaged in removing a mud bank, which had termed in thc centre of the river, when one of them was amazed to lind, on raising lils spade, that it glistened wifeh silver coins. The next time the spade was raised it brought them.up. by hundreds. .. Attracted by the digger's cxclama tlonsof astonishment and delight, bis fellow- work met? hurried up, and in a moment half a dozen men wore scram bling and tigtiting for'thc treasure, feverishly tilling their pockets, their hats and beer cans with silver coins, which were worth their weight in gold, for they were of thc time of the tirst two Fd wards and had lain in thc river for 500 ycarrt. That the bulk of thc treasure trove was ultimately claimed by thc Duchy of Lancaster mutters little; for its linders had al ready appropriated scores of thousands of thc precious discs. Only two years later a few village boys were playing at marbles one Sunday afternoon in a Held near Bea worth, in Hampshire, when one of them caught sight or a piece of lead projecting from a cart rut in a rough road that crossed thc pasture. Tug ging at the .strip of metal, he dis closed a hole, and through the ex posed opening he say a pile of glitter ing coins, bright as if fresli from the mint. To lill his pockots and those of his playmates was the work uf a few moments, and so little did thc youngsters appreciate the value of their discovery that on their way home they amused themselves bj Hing ing thc coins at passing birds or into the village pond. Ultimately nearly 7,000 coins were recovered from this buried treasure chest, and they proved to be of the reigns of William 1 and ll, and in a wundcl'ul state of preservation. A similar discovery was made near Wetherby, in Yorkshire, when a heavy cart passing over a country road stuck fast in a rut, and on being re leased disclosed a nrmbcr of silver coins, which had escaped from thc burst lid of a chest hidden under till? roadway, lt was assumed that thc chest of coins had been buried there In the perilous days of the civil war, and that the gradual sinking of the road and thc weight of thc passing cart had at last brought it again to thc light of dav. In the year 18-10 a most valuable deposit of treasure was revealed In thc strangest fashion at Cucrdalc, near Preston, in Lancashire. Some labor ers were digging near the banks of the Uiver Kibble, when thc pickaxe of one of them struck something harder than earth and more yielding than r, ck. On removing his pick he found transiixed at thc end of lt a large in got of silver. Plying his tool with renewed vigor, he soon disclosed a per fect minc of wealth, consisting of scores of silver ingots, weighing in all over 1,000 ounces, together with an almost priceless collection of 7,000 coins of different periods and coun tries, many of them dating from Saxon times 1,000 and more years ago. Similar fortune befell a cou plc of, la borers who were digging in a .ditch near Glastonbury, in Somersetshire, when they unearthed an ancient chest full of coins of tlie days ol thc Stuarts. They took sampler, of,-che coins to a neighboring antiqua/y bf wealth, who not only paid the' men a large sum for their trcasijie, but purchased a score or more iu*res of land adjacent to the lucky .flitch. And here the irony ol' fortmic is well illustrated; for, al though the antiquary spent thous ands of pounds in buying and excavat ing his land, not a single coin was discovered beyond those which a stroke of thc spade had revealed. This is the kind of trick Fortune loves to play uti designing man. Not very many years ago, when thc thatched roof of an ancient cottage near Ripon was removed, a rich set of f> guinea gold pieces was discovered bidden away under it. When the news of this treasure-trove came to the ears of a neighboring landowner bc was so llr^rt by the lust ol'gold that he forthwith purchased a dozen simi lar cottages in thc district and had them all pulled down, but again not a solitary coln was found in exchange for the x'.Wt) the experiment cost bini. In the year before that lucky game ol' marbles near Heaworth disclosed 7,000 coins there was reported a curi ously interesting discovery in North umberland. When a grave was being dug lu Hexham Church the pickaxe of one of thc workmen struck ami trans fixed a metal vessel, which proved to he full of coins to Its very brim. Kobherv nt White Stone. A dispatch from Spartanbiirg to The State says robberies amounting in all to a total valuation of $f>00 have occurred at thc White Stone Springs hotel since Tuesday night and up to dinner hour Wednesday. Mrs. J. fi, Morgan of Augusta had a watch which cost $1 :<5,Ktolcti. Mrs. Hough of Co lumbia had $:10 worth of jewelry stolen and other robberies were effect ed. Thc operations were confined to live rooms of thc hotel on thc south side, second lloor. There is suspicion as to the thief, but nt) tangible proof is forthcoming, Searches and inves tigations have as vet revealed noth ing. Proprietor Harris was in Spar enburg on thc track of a person sup posed to be thc guilty party. Ills visit was not rewarded with any re turn ot the stolen articles. Bti fihya N?W dct-scy Jud??

MeAlpln.aud others at New ark, N. J., for the appointment of a receiver for tho Universal Tobacco Company. . ,. ?" Attorney General Robert II. McCar ter, of counsel for thc defendant cor poration, bega? tim argument, 'fte said that when George B. and William II. Dtitl?r, W. .Bourke Cockran and II. C. Wiesenger agreed to put money in the company, which was tobe financed byTiirord, it was with thc under standing that the voting trust should exist and that Frank Tilford and Henry H. Wilson were to remain with them in the attempt to light tlie American Tobacco Company. But In stead of doing so, Mr. McCartcr said, Tilford and Wilson got out when they had got what they wanted and did not consider the obligation they were un der to others who had joined them in the enterprise. lie claimed that the alcgation of in solvency made by tho complainants was falxc. He said that the faut that thc corporation wanted more ca pi Lal was no proof of insolvency.' He asked: "Where are those men who have made millions out of the scheme by selling out?" Vice Chancellor Pitney, interrupt ing, said: ? "1 do not quite agree with counsel that they made millions. I assume that they made about $r>00, 001), less expenses. What they got. beyond that was by cheating some body." At tile close of Mr. McCarter's argu ment Wheeler. H. Peckham followed for the defence. He began by read ing tlie text of thc new Massachusetts corporation law, but was interrupted by Vice Chancellor Pitney. "The Massachusetts judiciary is de generating," announced thc vice chancellor, "and I don't consider their opinion any more. Thirty years ago it was d?(Terent." When Mr, Peckham resumed by re ferring to thovice chancellor's opinion of Massachusetts as similar to that of thc opinion expressed by the Court a few days ago regarding Wall street and stock inflation he was again inter rupted by the vice chancellor, who said: "You know and I know and every body ought to know that stock ls in flated to unload it on thc public. 1 consider it a fraud ami the people who buy are fools. The men who inflate thc stock take advantage of the old adage, All tools are not yet dead.' It may bc an old-fashioned idea, but ?tis ground Into me and I am afraid 1 can not shake it off." Vice Chancellor Pitney suggested before the hearing of the argument began that he was fully decided that he could not interfere with thc Putler voting trust at this time, and request ed counsel to address themselves as to thc Court's action in maintaining the modus vivendi, "The important matter to bc set tled now." he said, "is to decide upon action to bc taken in tlie restraining order now in force against thc bond issuse. As the order stands today it stops tlie sale or transfer of these bonds." Mr. Peckham resumed his argument after the recess. He said that if lt were found, after thc organization of an industrial combination, that other concerns could be purchased and the business enlarged it would bc wisdom to take in such firms. This wasaxact ly what was intended in the case of thc Universal Company,-with thc re sult that just as success was in sight thc concern was sold out. There was at present at issue the protection of someone who had been defrauded, and it was to this that much consideration must be devoted. A Kural Police Syatchi. The Georgia Agricultural, Society, in Hession in Athens recently] raised the question of thc advisability of establishing ? thorough and elllclent rural police system in Georgia. Thc matter- was suggested in the annual address of thc President, Mr. White head, who gave as a reason for tlie abandonment of thc farms by many intelligent and progressive men, the inadequate protection to their women, under tlie present condition of rural affairs. Judge IOmory Speer, who was present as a visitor, was called up to speak, and protesting his incompet ency to discuss agricultural topics, proceeded to develop the rural police ioea. Among other things, he said that tho greatest danger to the rural districts was thc presence of scatter ing negroes of a peculiarly brutal character, descendants of thc lowest and most beastly of African tribes. These negroes, he said, were scarcely more responsible than wild animals, and needed to beheld under the strict est surveilauce. The idea of holding them in check by means of one sheriff fur each county, and au occasional deputy is absurd, and what the coun ty needs is an eillcient patrol, patent ed after the Texas ranger system. Ile thought there should be two or more of these rangers, or rural police for each township in a county and thc system should be so developed that criminals could be followed from tho moment of the commission of their crime until their arrest. He suggest ed that stich a system would go f;?r to doing away with all apparent necessi ty for mob law, and thc rural districts could be made as safe as the towns. The judge's remarks produced a pro found Impression upon the society and there is a probability that the. rural police idea will soon become au issue iu Georgia as it should in al! other Southern States. Unit ul Iv Miirilei'od' Thursday a negro farm hand on a place a few miles from Spartanburg wt nt to that city and reported the finding of thc body of a negro lying ont in arid old field. Hundreds of negroes and many white men viewer] thc corpse, but none identified it. The negr<? met with ari awful death. Ile was struck in the back ot thc head with a large rock pr some heavy mis sile and tlie hack of his skull was crushed in a considerable distance. Ills pockets were turned wrong side outward and there was every evidence of ii cowardly murder and robbery. The head of the victim rested on his old felt hat and the blood and brains had trickled through thc cavity In its rear, forming a pool on the ground. The body had lain in tlie field a day fir two, for there were signs of d?com position. C?l'tttlT AT LAST, US Green" ??koii by the Sheriff With? out Arly Trouble. ' WAS LOCATED IN lO?fT OF BARN.

Thursday, morning they telegraphed Sheriff Alderman that Gr?cil was cor nered and if lie would como at once with a few men tho man could be dap turcd. Sherill" Alderman left Aiken about 1- o'clock with lo men, and two of Zurasky's brothers also went to the scene at about the same time. Thc 'sheriffs posse arrived at McCain's store, two miles from Green's house about 5 o'clock, where they found Glover and Cadden, who had slipped away toagiiln communicate with t! o sherill", Messrs.

Mr. Green, the elder, was asked if his son Lee was at home, lie replied that his son was on the -place, but he did no know ex actly where he was. The posse then searched all thc buildings and lt was finally discovered that Green vas in thc fodder loft pf thc barn. THU MAN SlMtllKNniSItlSD. lt was tit first thought that thc barn would have to he burned in order to chase Green out, hut thc sheriff finally sent Green's biol lier into the loft to tell him that, ho bad' better give up. Green's brother went into the barn and camcout with Lee's gun, and then the man who is said to have terrorized that section of j Aiken county for nearly a month came out of thc barn and gave himself lip to tlie sheriff. Tho gun Green had with bim was asingle barreled breechloader and his ammunition was shell; loaded with bird shot. When capturai, it is [.said that Green told tlie .Sheriff that bc was going to give himself up alter awhile, as he didn't want to stay In j ri i I so long and was not able\ to.give bond. However there is no doubt that that immediate vicinity is feel ing a great deal easier now. ?that he and the sheriff have il milly ride con nection. A HAD MAN.

It is said that Lee Green shol at a Jew peddler named Levy $ from Augusta not long ago, and stabed at the time that he did it just torses him run. Green is said to have threatened to kdl the next peddler that'came to lils house, as they always sold Iiis wife goods and he was never able to keep a cent of money, in the house. ? CRIMIS WOItSK THAN Kl ItST lUSC?llTUD. Abram Zurasky is said to have been killed while performing an act of cour tesy. >for Green. On the day of the raurder Green had been to thc grist mill and rode up to his house on his horse with Lis sack of meal and his double barraled shot gun across thc sadole just about the same time that Zurasky drove up In his wagon. This was about ii o'clock in the afternoon. Green got off his wagon they shook lia ods. Zurasky saw thc sack on tlie horse and took it across lils shoulder and told Green that hew mid take it into the house for him. Zu rasky walked towark the house and when he was about 2fi steps away Green shot him twice in the back, did not hurt him as the shot nearly all entered the sask of .meal. Zurasky turned and throwing the sack down lifted his hands above his head and begged Green not to shoot him. Zu rasky then saw Green reloading his gun, so the peddler ran Into the house where Mrs. Green was and begged tier not to let lier husband kill him. HIS WI KB rn IS AD KU KOll .IKW's LIKU. It is said that.'Mrs. Green pleaded for the life of the Jew, but Green rushed into thu house alter him. Zu rasky held Mrs. Green between lilinscir and his assailant, and then Green is said to li;1 ve told lils wife that if she did not get out of the way lie would shoot lier. Zurasky then tried to run away, but Green shot him twice in thc back and brought him to thc ground just outside of tlie door. The shots did not kill him and Green then got an axe and chopped him until life was extinct. Green then loaded the body on lils victim's wagon and hid him in the woo:1s as before reported. Thc above story ol the crime is said to have been received direct from a re lation of Lee Green and is thought to bc authentic._ Thief Captured Hin Captor. ?

Marsden left Kawlins Wednesday night witli Eckitind, and to make sure of Iiis man shackled him to a seat In thc smok ing compartment of a chair car. While Marsden wits sleeping beside his prisoner Kcklund went through thc detective pockets, secured thc keys to the shackles, released himself and then shackled tho officer to tho steam pities. Having received the olllcci's weapons and other property, Kcklund left thc train at Laraine. Marsden was not awakened hy the conductor until Cheyenne was reached when bc called for assistance. As Marsden had absolutely nothing on Iiis person to prove I hat lie was not a prisoner, the trainmen would not re lease him.

COTTON BOLL ROT ls Playing Havoc \Vit.ii Cotton in Portions ol* Georgia. Thc Atlanta correspondent of the Aagusta Chronicle says Assistant State Entomologist Newell returned Wednesday morning from Gwinnett county, where he went to investigate tlic supposed boll rot in cotton. Mr. Nowell says he found the territory effected embraced about sixteen square miles in which there was prob ably not over two hundred acres in cotton, but that cotton is ruined. To the Chrouictc correspondent Mr. Ne well said: About a week ago wc received some squares and bolls from the cotton fields, in Gwinnett county, which appeared to bc decaying badly and continued large quantities of bacteria. The indications were that the cotton had been attacked by boll rot, which is a disease that appeared several years ago in Alabama, and did considerable damage there. We are not very well equipped with labora ted facilities for investigating these things, so in order to verify our opinion wc sent thc ma terial to thc department of agriculture at Washington, and that department reported the Unding of. the germ which caused thc boll rot. I went to I Gwinnett county yesterday to further investigate the disease and lound it covered approximately sixteen square miles, a piece of country near Snell ville.. Investigating the conditions in thc held, however, 1 am not at all positive it is the boll rot which is entirely to blame for thc trouble. Wc are at present engaged in making a further investigation of the trouble, in co-operation with thc authorities at Washington." ?'Is thc.cntire crop ruined?" ""There is perhaps a square mile in which the cotton promises to make no crop at all. The squares arc attacked as quickly as they form upon thc plant, and at once fall off. The trouble appears to bc a very peculiar one, and one regarding 'which very lit tle is known. Sncllvilfe, the point at which tile trouble exists, is about eight miles south ol' Lawrenceville. Thc disease appeared only ten days ago, and at present seems to he confin ed to a section four miles wide and four miles long.". Om-Sleeping KOOIIIH.

Tho kidnapping ot a young white girl and the killlog'of one of a posse that tried to. rescue her, are tho crimes charged against a party or eight negroes fortified on Bruces Is land, sixteen miles west of Fort Smith, Ark. It is feared their cap ture will lead to a bloody encounter. (The ncgroesaro said to be well armed. IV few days ago two farmers living near Wilsons Rock, landed on Bruces Island in search of plums, and acci dentally ran into a camp in which tl&re were two negro men and a white girl about twelve years old. They made some inquiries about jthe girl and the negroes said, she was the daughter of a white man who was travelling with them arid who had gone to ?'ort Smith for provisions. The negroes would not let thc gill take part in the conversation am) this aroused suspicion. A watch was kept, on the negroes for two days, but no white man appeared. Monday after noon a party of farmers decided to in vestigate the case, and as they neared the island, were llred on by the ne groes, and one of the party, Roland by name, was killed. A sharp tight was kept up for some time, during which tile girl escaped from the ne groes and ran to the white men. She was so excited that she could not give any intelligent account of herself. She said, however, that Lev father was not travelling with the negroes, hut that slie had been stolen from lier home near Fort Gibson. She has been taken to Muid row. Roland, the dead "man, was a com parative stranger at Wilsons Hock. Posses of citizens left for the scene of tho trouble from Fort Smith, Spiro, Muldrcw and Fort Gibson. There ls much excitement around thc island. One or two of the negroes are known to be desu?rate characters. REQUISITION TURNED DOWN. Declined to Give Up Nofrro Wan led inr Murder in Georgia.

Thc letter was immediately sent to the Augusta police and oillcers armer! with requisition papers was started for Detroit, where the negro was arrested. When the requisition papers were presented they were turned down by the governor because of several technicalities, one of which was the fact that the judge and solicitor general signing the requisition had shown no authority of their positions. News has come to Genrgfa, however, that Thomas., who is said to be a graduate1 bf Booker Washington's school, claims that he will be lynched if he is brought back to Georgia, and that his attorneys in Michigan are making a tight before the governor on that ground. Governor Terrell has witton Gover nor Bliss a letter assuring him that Thomas will be given a fair trial, and stating that it ls seldom that a negro is lynched in Qeorgia for thc crime of murder. Another hearing will be given in the matter.-Atlanta .lour nal. The Way to rhook At lt. IOditors of newspapers published in large cities can sit in their ofliiccs sur rounded hy a great population and write editorials condemning the lynching of black brutes who assault white women, hut as the Crowford villc Democrat puts it, the fact is they do not understand or appreciate the condition in the rural districts of tile south. Wives and (laughters are forced daily to go about their homes unprotected while fathers and brothers are away in the lields toiling for there daily bread. Tue trilling, impude.it scoun drel steals up to the unprotected home and with his polluted touch despoils thc sacredness of a one happy home. And to attempt to wipe out such a crime hy the life of the fiend by strong hands is one of thc lirst duties of southern manhood. Yes, we say it. with out hesitation and with full knowledge of the meaning of the>e words, that, the brute should be given nu quarter---and when he has paid the penalty, placard his dirty carcass with the sworn fact that "thus shall thc sacredness of our homes bc protected against lieuds incarnate." Preachers may preach and writers may write till the end or time, hut the inevit able truth remainsvtbat just so long as assn Its continue just so long will lynchings prevail Thc virtue of one pure white girl is worth more to human kind than all the lives of thc black brutes who have lived since thc' world began Iii writing what wc have about this matter we want it dis tinctly understood that it is not through "race prejudice." We have the utmost respect for thc law-abid ing and energetic colored man. We hope to be of service to him in better ing his condllitn. ile is here through no fault of his, and we would ever assist him In being hap pier and more contented with his lot. \ Urions ?illillH.
