Montgomery, Ala., November 25.—A
special from Anniston to the Adver-
tiser says: Members of the Third
Alabama, the negro regiment, with
murder in their hearts, caused the
greatest sensation last night that this
town has ever known. Shortly after
dark P. H. Gilhart of company B, Sec-
ond Arkansas, while going toward his
regiment camp from town, was shot
in the head by a negro soldier, who
also stabbed him in the back. (Gilhart
was taken to the regimental hospital.
A little later a member of the Fourth
Kentucky was reported to have been
shot on Walnut street by negro sol-
diers who lay in a gully, shooting at
the white men who passed.
Filing was heard in Liberia, the ne-
gro quarter of the city, which is not
far from Walnut street, and a squad
of provost guard went to investigate.
As it turned the corner of Fifteenth
street and Pine a large crowd of ne-
gro soldiers without warning tired up-
on them with Springflelds, the gun
4n use by the regiment. The guard
returned the fire, but had- few car-
tridges and soon had to retreat. Re-
inforcements and more ammunition
was sent for^ but when they arrived
the negroes had disappeared. The
number of negroes in the mob was va-
riously estimated at from fifty to
200.
In the engagement Sergeant Dodson.
Third Tennessee, was shot in the arm
and Private Graham, Third Tennes-
see, received a painful but not neces-
sarily dangerous wound in the stom-
ach. If any of the negroes were shor

ed have as yet been found. Two
other members of the provost guard
are mising and can not be found.
When news of the terrible outbreak
became knotrn white soldiers who
were In the city gathered around the
provost guard headquarters and beg-
ged for guns and ammunition, erviug
like children because their -requests
could not be granted. Citizens arm-
ed themselves and repaired to the
scene of the battle. Mayor Hight had
the saloons closed.
Several negro soldiers, one with a
Springfield which had just been fired,
were arrested in various parts of the
city and locked up, though it was
with difficulty that the infuriated sol-
diers and citizens were prevented
from wreaking summary vengeance
upon them.. ’t- f , ’ \ .
The armories of the. two local mili+
tary compqqb?s were broken into and,
everything appropriated by unknown
parties.
General Frank, who is in command
of the troops here, came out and was
on the streets until a late hour. Gen-
eral . Colby, commanding the Second
brigade, ordered out two companies
each of the Third Tennessee and the
Second Arkansas and brought them
to the city fo**~ whatever services
might be required. They scoured the

Tex.: Gentlemen—I beg to advise you
officially that after very careful con-
sideration I can not approve the pur-
chase of the Lowood and Norwood land
in Brazoria county. My action is based
upon the opinion that both the per-
«onal property and the land are too
high and some of the evidence to that
sffect has been placed before you.
The second written proposition sub-
mitted yesterday by Messrs. Sewall and
Campbell as to the Lowood place, by
which they agree to sell their 2475
Acres of land for $21,710, leaving the
personal property valued at $8290, to te
purchased by the penitentiary authori-
ties if they deem it proper, does not
modify the bid as to the price of the
land and if the authorities should pur-
chase the personal property at the
price named, which is not improbable,
the full $75,400 would be paid for the
entire property.
Subsequently to this second written
proposition Messrs, Sewall and Camp-
bell verbally proposed to reduce their
bid 8400, but it still appears too high
to me.
It is a matter of sincere regret to
differ with the board of penitentiary
authorities, but my conviction that the
price named is more than should be
paid is such that I can not yield it

Corsicana, Tex., Nov. 24.—Tuesday
afternoon Charley Stephens, agea 18
years, and a companion were out mint-
ing squirrels in the Rakestraw neigh-
borhood, and had run a squirrel into a
hololw tree. An attempt was made to
smoke the animal out, which failed,
and young Stephens started to climb
the tree. In order to give him a
“boost,” the other lad used his gun as
a “scotch," putting the muzzle of it
against young Stephens. While he
was thus engaged, the weapon was dis-
charged, the full load of shot entering
Stephens’ body, killing him instantly.
