MADISON.
 The hanging of Andrew Fleming, which is to take place on the 21st, does not
appear to deter others from killing; two violent deaths have occurred in
this parish within a week of each other; one on the Waterford plantation, in
which case the manager of the plantation – a white man – killed a negro
named Reuben Savage, and the other in the Mound neighborhood, where a
colored man killed a colored woman. – Times.
