A NEW METHOD OF STARTING RACE
HoRsEs.-A Saratoga dispatch says:
''The dissatisfaction occasioned by
the bad starts given in some important
events has induced the Racing Associa-
tion to adopt new method of starting
horses which bids fair to be success
full. Hereafter there will be virtually
two starters, and the horses are to be
taken about thirty yards back of the
actual starting line. The first starter
will get the horses in line, and will be
invested with power to punish jockeys
for disobeying his orders by suspend
ing them or imposing fines. After the
horses are in position he will give
them the word to go, and if they are
fairly even when they pass the second
starter he drops his flag. This will
prevent a horse from gaining the ad-
vantage of running start.

A wig. Votes 10 Hang her Husband

OHARLoTr IN. o. OBSERVER, 1e.-
It was stated In yesterdays issae that
the negro who committed the rare up
on the little white girl near Jefferson,
s. o.. had been caught near the Anson
County line an taken to South Caro-
lima. We learn to day that when the
party who had him in cnarge arrived
at Jefferon, crowd of three or four
hundred people, including both
negroes and whites, collected, and the
questioned hanging him on the spot
where the rape was committed was dis
cussed, 1t was finally decided to set
tie the matter by vote. A line was
drawn, and all who were in favor OF
hanging were requested to pass to one
side of IT. Every person in the crowd
including the wife of the negro, came
over exceptlone. When informed Of
his fate he confessed the crime, telling
the same story as that given by the lit
tic girl, without having heard her re"
port of 1t. He was then taken to Q
tree near by and hung till dead. From
all we can hear there was no undue
influence brought to bear upon the
crowd to excite their feelings of re.
venge, but that their actions through.
cut was that of men who were deter
mined that crime in its vilest form
should receive its reward, and that
speedily, In order to insure protection
to the people of the community.

WASHINGTON. August 90. Chandler,
Taft and Morrill, are running the Gov
ernment alone now, the President and
the balance of the Cabinet having de-
parted. Chandler is the busiest OF the
three left. he is already beginning
to receive applications from Southern
Republicans who want troops, and the
pressure promise to be very great.
Yesterday Congressman Stowell, Of
the Petersburg (va.) District, the ons
ly Republican Congressman from the
State of Virginia, had long consul
tation with Chandler. in which Stow
ell declared that Republican success
sor to himself could be elected from
the Petersburg District If company
OF troops were stationed there. Chand.
Ter listened attentively to Stowell's pre-
sentation of the necessities of the ease
and the troops will pobably be fur
nished. The significant part of the in
terview Is the positive proof 1t fur
nishes that Chandler and not Sherman
is to be the real General OF the troops
at the South, and will have full power
to place that portion of the army where
1t will do the most good for the Reput
lican party. Attorney. General Taft's
opionion and the accompanying order
instructing the United States marshall
that they have authority to call on th'
troops for assistance, are looked for Il
morrow. Secretary Morrill, was unwel

Judging by the excitement it nigh
have been supposed that murd
trial was going on. Such was not the
case however as only the following
case were disposed of.
Geo, Carroll and John Bennett, two
tramps, were tried for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. They wer
ordered to tramp out Of town.
Thos. Smith, for vagrancy. was sent
over for 80 days.
Levi Schofield, for disorderly con-
duct, was fined 81 and costs. Levi
became obstreperous, and refused to
90 back to the cells, but Capt. Chopper
snatched him out of the dock like q
flash. and put bim behind the iron
bars in twinkling. II know what

| he probably does, by this time.
Thos. Conway, q boy, for the lar
ceny of car coupling from the Will.
g. Western Railroad, was held IN 5000
bail for appearance at Court. His
mother was indignant that Tommy
should be sent to Jail for "takin' .

turned with bail for her sons release.
VIM. Harrigan and George Camp
bell were tried for assault and battery
on Jas. Temple, COL, were discharged

form a case.
Thos. Foy, (not stranger by any
means) for threatening bodily harm
to Hannah Brown, was required to
pay costs and give bail in the sum of
$500 to keep the peace.
This closed the hearings and the
crowd dispersed.

Barbric, of Plymouth, Me-, and upon
opening his crop, more than twenty
nests of caterpillar eggs were found,
showing that this much abused bird

scavenger, but very useful also in des.
