SPAIN AND JAPAN UNITE
In an Alliance For Mutual Protection
Against United States
A dispatch from Paris to n news
agency at London says that inquiry at
the American embassy there has elici
ted a confirmation of the rumor that
the governments of Spain and Japan
have arranged an offensive alliance
against the United States
The terms of the understanding
which is for tho mutual protection of
Cuba and Hawaii provide that in the
event of an actively aggressive move
meat on the part of the United States
tending toward interference h Cuban
affairs or persistence in annexation
of the Hawaiian islands both Spain
and Japan shall declare war simul
taneously against the United States
and shall make hostilo demonstrations
along both the Atlantic and Pacific

statement Indeed so far as can be
learned no intimation of such an agree
ment has ever reached the state de

TOM LANGFORDiaCAPTURgD
T
I
HE WAS WITII THE DELKS WHEN
SHERIFF GUINN WAS KILLED
SAID TO HftYE FIRED THE SHOT
Which Ended the Sheriffs LifeCaptured
In Oran ArkHti Identity
Seems Coneluilre
A man who was arrested Tuesday at
Ozan Ark according to a special
from that place wknowlcdges his
name to be Langford and admits
being implicated in the assassination
of a deputy sheriff in Georgia He is
twentyseven years old five feet seven
or eight inches high light complex
ion light hair pale blue eyes weighs
about one hundred and thirty or forty
pounds all the fingers except the I
index are gone from the right hand
He was en route to Mrs Thomas
Langforda when apprehended He
is now held in the county jail for fur
ther developments
Langford is the man who was with
Tom Delkwhen Sheriff Guinn of Pike
county was killed He is the third
person who was wanted for a crime I
for which Tom Delk has already ant
lered death on the gallows aud for I
which old man Taylor Delk now awaits
the game fate
There seems to be no doubt about
the right man having been caught
The telegrams state that he was ar
rested at Ozan Ark and that he ad
mits being the man wanted in Georgia
for the assassination of a sheriff ITho
description given in the tal
lies exactly with the description of the
man given by Taylor Delk
So certain is Sheriff Milner ofPike
county that the right man has been
caughtthat he has made arrangements
to go on to Arkansas at once for the
purpose of bringing the pirsoner back
to Georgia He has received a de
scription of the person under arrest
and it fits that of Tom Langford
There is one telltale mark on Lang
ford that makes his identity an easy
matter He has only one finger the
index left on the right hand and it
is this disfigurement more than any
thing else that assures the officers
that the right man has been caught
history of the Murder
It was in April 1896 that Sheriff
Guinn was killed He went to the
Delk home in Pike county with a
posse for the purpose of arresting
Taylor Delk and they were resisted
by those within the dwelling As to
who were in the house has always been
a matter of doubt It was certain that
Tom Delk and Tom Langford were
there but it Las always been denied
by old men Delk and his con that the
former was present when the shooting
took place
The sheriff with the posse advanced
upon the house Firing commenced
the officers of the law stating After
wards that the inmates fired first and
the inmates swearing that the officers
were the first to fire One of the shots
from the house killed Sheriff Guinn
Tom and Taylor his father were tried
and convicted for murder after a hasty
trial there being fear of mob violence
Tom was hanged a few weeks ago
Taylor having been given a new trial
had his sentence postponed A sec
ond time he was convicted and sen
tenced to hang on July Iflth His case
was appealed to the supreme court and
is now pending Langford escaped
after the murder and could not be
found
Tom Delk always stated that Tom
Langford fired the shot which killed
Sheriff Guinn To this statement he
stuck until his death He said his
father was not present and when
Sheriff Guinn came up to the house
Langford raised a rifle and taking
careful aim sent the bullet that ended
the sheriffs life

racy
Three cheers for Carlisle wore given
with lusty will when he concluded
and this was followed by an insistent
demand for Mr Watterson
Mr Wattersaus speech was most
liberally punctuated by voices and
hands expressing approval of his ut
terances but the loudest and longest
perhaps was when he dramatically de
clared that the coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1 was as dead as the
institution of African slavery
At the conclusion of Mr Wattersons
speech the resolutions were read by
the Hon W 0 P Steckenridge The

unanimous adoption followed with an
oldtime Kentuckian heartiness

to call put the military and in a few
minutes the Barncsville Blues were

with their guns and in full uniform
When the troops arrived on tho scene
the crowd had already formed for the
lynching bee The train from Griffin
had carried down a large number and
all of them seemed determined to take
Williams life
Atfirst the mob seemed disposed to
pay little attention to the soldiers but
the firm demeanor of the armed troops
soon convinced the crowd that there
would be trouble if an attempt was
made to lynch Williams
Late at night Governor Atkinson
was asked instructions and he tel
ephoned the officers in Barnesvilla to
carry the prisoner to Macon or Atlan

Thursday afternoon at 2 oclock An
thony Williams her murderer and as
sailant was captured near Pruitton

crime in the streets of West Point in
the presence of fully COO people The
wildest excitement prevailed and the
people poured into West Point from
every neighboring town and village
Williams was first riddled with bul
lets and his body then burned to ashes
Before a shot was fired the negro
was knocked down by one of the crowd
and stamped to death Then the crowd
fell back and those who had pistols
fired volley after volley at him
The crowd then gathered wood and
building a fire over him watched the
ghastly scene until the murderer was
only ashes
For two days and nights liOO men
armed and determined bad scoured
the country for miles for Williams
Several times posse were within
hooting distance of him but every
time ho escaped When he was cap
tured it was within sixteen miles of
the scene of the horrible crime A
man named Clark to whom he ap
plied for tobacco suspected him and
held him for the crowd
Story of a Horrible Crime
The crime for which Williams was
stamped shot and burned was the
most brutal ever committed in this
section of the country The young
lady left her home early Tuesday
morning to pick blackberries When
she did not return at dinner time her
friends went in search of her She
WAS found 200 yards from her home
dead and tied to a sapling with n
leather strap around her neck
One of her eyes had been gouged
out and in her tightly clutched hand
were leaves and grass All around
the ground showed that a desperate
struggle bad taken place between the
unfortunate girl and her assailant
When the negro was captured his
face and arms were terribly scratched
and torn showing that he Lad met
with much resistance
The original intention of the mob
was to take Williams to the scene of
his crime and there wreak vengeance
but the distance was too great and the
mob too impatient

CONFEREES DISAGREE
Mot Important Ttnree of Tariff Bill
rrore to lie Snags
A Washington special of Monday
says The tariff conferees have struck
some snags in their work The minor
matters were easily adjusted but on
all important features there has been
jio agreement and the outlook Mon
day was that several reports would
have to be made before an adjustment
could be reached
Tho house conferees are standing
solidly by their bill and the senate y
conferees are no less tenacious
The senate conferees have laid be
fore the house members the condition
in the senate where there is not an
actual majority of the republicans and
where other than republican votes are
necessary to pass the bill or adopt a 1
conference report They asserted
that in 1890 the democrats were in
better majority yet the house was
finally compelled to accept the senate
bill in order to pass it The members
of tho house Are standing by their bill +
nevertheless and have told the sena
tors that they cannot accept the sen
ate amendments on many important
items
Burlaps cotton tics and other items
which are placed on the free list by
the senate met with great hostility 1
from the house conferees and so far
nothing in tho way of a compromise
offered by the senate members has
been accepted The house conferees
are also insisting upon higher com
pensatory duties on tho manufactures
of cotton on account of tho duty of 20
per cent on raw cotton
The house members have maintain i
ed that the house bill hAs been com y
mended more than the senate bill and
that the conference 1 get as close
to it as possible The senate con
ferees in addition to presenting the
present political complexion of the
senate have pointed out the difficulty JII
that will occur if several reports of a
partial agreements and disagreements
are made iJ
They have told the house members
4
that it will lead to endless discussion
that they have no power to force a
vote and that there is not majority
in the senate to keep the senate In I
session in case of a filibuster against
the conference report
