Lawless Darlington Lynch Threat Stuns Randolph County
A mob breaks the Randolph County jail at night and hangs Henry Davis accused of brutal crime against Rev. John McKnight’s child. The public fury over delayed justice prompts vigilante action near Werd's Station and toward the railroad bridge. The incident mirrors postwar tensions and partisan anxieties in Georgia politics and press debates on race and authority.

Washington's Diplomats Stumble in Italy and Austria
The Bayard administration faces a diplomatic embarrassment as Anthony M. Reilly is rejected by Italy and Keilly is rejected by Austria, with no reasons given. The incident adds to political chatter about possible Ohio Governor candidate Hoadly and Senate hopeful Thurman. The Senate kept biennials in the constitution despite a recent code revision.
