Other Interesting State News.
CoLrJiniA. S. G, June 21.—The report
of State Liquor Commissioner, Mix son,
shows that state liquor dispensary, al
though enjoyinif a supposed monopoly,
has in the nearly two years of its oper
ation not only failed to pay a profit,
but lacks nineteen thousand dollars of
reimbursing- the state the fifty thous
and dollars it advanced in 1692 to start
the business. Commissioner Mixson
says in his report that the large profits
reported by his predecessor in office.
Mr. Traxlcr, as having been earned
were incorrectly estimated by counting
In unearned profits on unsold liquors
and making no allowance for prospect
ive losses He describes the system of
taking stock employed for the first 18
months of the system as improper and
and nnbusiness like. In conclusion he
expresses the hope that by next Feb
ruary tbo dispensary will be out of
debt. If however, the United Slates
courts continue to protect inter-state
shipments of liquor to private consum
ers, it U expected that the receipts of
the dispensary will be greatly reduced,
while its expenses must be maintained.

LAWLESSNESS REIGNED SUPREME
IN A NtW ORLEANS SUBURB.
A Crowd of Rowdies Inaugurate Law
lessness, Which Ends in Nearly All
the Crimes on the Statute Book.
New Orlkaxs, La., June 25.—Law
lessness reigned supreme in Gretna, a
suburb of this city last night As a re
sult one man has buffered death at the
bands of a mob or lynchers, another
one is dying, a house burned and the
furniture demolished. There was re
venge in the hearts of the law-abiding
citizens who no longer have faith in
the powers of the guardians of the
peace, and have taken the law into
their own hands.
At 6 o'clock pesterday evening, a
gang of rowdies appearetl on the streets
and declared their intention of lynch
ing a negress named Francis Woodsen.
Night came on. however, and they dis
persed and were not seen for some
hours.
About 10 o'clock at night, the crowd,
who are said to be composed of six well
known young men in the community,
went to Woodsen's house, but she,
having heard of their threats against
her life, had left and came over to New
Orleans where she remained until yes
terday morning. The hoodlums knock
ed at the door, but as this was not
opened to them they broke open the
side gate and went into the rear yard,
subsequently gaining entrance into the
house by breaking in the kitchen door.
Once in the house, they immediately
set to work to demolish furniture. A
piano was smashed to pieces: chairs
were broken into splinters, the mat
tress of the bed torn into shreds, the
carpet on the floor torn and destroyed,
and the kitchen stove was wrecked.
After finishing their devilish work the
crowd set fire to the building. They
then ran away, but were seen and
recognized. An alarm of fire was
turned in and the flames were quickly
subdued. As soon as the outrage be
came known, white citizens organized
themselves and determined to lynch the
gang. The latter eluded arrest and at
! midnight committed a second outrage,
when they ran across an old negro and
beat him to the point of death
Officer Goo.Uet finally caught John
Frey, a young white man. and one of
the gang. The news quickly spread
among the citizens who had gathered
in force. They intercepted the officer
and taking the prisoner from him,
lynched Frey to the nearest telegraph
pole.
Early yesterday morning three others
of the gang were arrested and it is
feared they may suffer the same fate
aa Frey. Frey was a son of Dr. John
Frev. who. with several other members
of his family, lost their lives in the
great storm at Chenier Camanade two
years ago.

Democratic and KcpubMc to National Con

Washington, Juno 22. - Possibly on©
or both of the great national conven
tions will be held in the south the next
time.
Democrats and republicans are taking
a lively interest in the suggestion that
the south will be especially desirable
next year as the place for holding con
ventions. The south having by the re
sults of the elections last year placed
itself in the list of politically doubtful
sections of the country many republi
cans are considering the effect of hav
ing the next convention held there, j
Senator-elect Carter, chairman of th©
national republican executive commit
tee, when in this city a few days ago,
said he thought the question of having
the rallying of his party in the south
was one that is worthy of serious con
sideration.
Southern democrats and republicans
claim that Atlanta, New Orleans, Nash
ville or Lexington would be able to
care for the physical comforts of the
delegates and that no argument against
having the convention in their midst
could be made on that score.
