"a negro was lynched in this place last
night tor brutally assauting ayoung white
girl. The community is in state Of great
eActement, and the selectmen of the place

iars or the crime are as follows:
MISS Herbert was returning home last
evening about dusk. On arriving near home
~ maps mills, about mile out of town, she
passed the negro, who was one of the most
VICIOUS and dangerous men in the vicinity.
ne turned and struck her a severe blow on
me hean with an axe which he carried. He
then orutaiiy assaulted her and left her un-
conscious and nearly dead. She was discoy-
cred half an hour later and taken to her home
nearby. The neighborhood was soon aroused
and every able-bodied man in the vicinity
turned out to hunt for the black villain. He
ran to the woods and thence ventured to 90
to his home in South Eatontown, where he
mas wife and four grown children. The
wheeler boys, two active and strong young
men OF Eatontown, went to his home about
9.oo last night, aud, after a severe struggle,
oound the negro and proceeded toward the
town jail in Eatontown. While on the way
tney were met by crowd of citizens, who
could barely be kept from killing the cul-
prlt then and there. But his captors sue
ceeded in locking him up, though not until he
had been terribly beaten with clubs. At
Oceanport, and about Eatontown last night.
impromtu indignation meetings were held,
and the life of the darkey was called for We
hemently. Finally, an excited mob from each
town started for the Eatontown lookup. No
guard had been stationed. The lookup con-
sists OF small brick building about SxlO.
The mobs met at the Jail and attempted to
break in the side. Failing in this, they, BY
great effort. broke the staples of the door,
and running H., began clubbing the darkey
numerically. His cries for mercy and life
were heard half a mile off. Not content with
clubbing him until his head was horribly
bruised, they tied rope around his neck ,and
running it through the iron grating over the
Jail door, they quickly ended his existence
and left him swinging He was discovered
this morning by mail carrier. who notified
the constable and coroner was sent for.
Pending the coroner's arrival men, women
and children gathered about the black corpse
swinging in the sunlight. The coroner ar
rived at o'clock and an inquest was held.
Henry Herbert and his son, the father and
brother OF the injured girl, came to the Jail
just after johnson had been locked up, and

ing His Compliments to His Clerical
and Newspaper Assailants.
BoSrON, March Z

BosroN, March I.
Rev. W. w. Downs addressed fair sized
audience at Music Hall today He previous
ly announced his intention being to paw his
compliments to his clerical and newspaper
enemies. The programme was fully carried
out. large portion of the audience was
evidently in sympathy with the speaker. At
ter brief Introductory remarks the speaker
referred to an article recently published 10
the fost, the statements therein being char
scterized as "vIllianously untrue" A few
OF the statements were in main correct but
as far as they reflected on the speaker they
were false. He proposed on next Thursday
night in Music Hall, to disclose the inward
ness of all these newspaper lies The speak
er then gave his version of his assault on
Dlllenback, the Post reporter, at the Parker
House last Monday, ani claimed the act was
justified by Dillenback's conduct toward him :;
that he possessed the affidavits from persons
whom Dillenbsck had attempted to bribe to
testify against him. He charged that Dillen-
back WAS the tool of F. j. Tabsr, husband,
in the adultery case) and in league with the
district attorneys office in this matter
Downs admitted that his action in assaulting
Dlllenback was hasty but the occasion was
out OF the ordinary course and justified ex-
traordinary conduct He then proceeded to
utter scathing denunciations of Dillenback
and promised to make further disclosures
next Thursday night. Having paid his re-
spec:s to the press Downs next turned his
attention to the brethren of the Baptist con-
ference, who expelled him from their meet
ing. He severely criticised Rev. Messrs.
Clifford, Gordon, Lawson, Murdock, Bos-
worth. johnson and Mackenzie and
asserted that many things were' said
at the Baptist convention which
if correctly reported were false and libellous.
He denied the ministers statements that he
(Downs) had repelled their approaches and
had been disrespectful to the pastors. THAT"
said Downs, sis libellous and criminally un-
true" After touching upon several other
topics he closed by thanking the press and
public for whatever kind words had been
spoken for him. He protested his innocence
of the charges against him and besought the
people to withhold judgment.

of an EdsartOwn Whaling Schooner.

New BEDFORD, March Z.
Capt. Reynolds and five of the crew of the
whaling schooner Aurora of Edgartown,
which was wrecked when 36 hours from this
port, arrived here today. They left IA of the
crew in Baltomore. three of them in the hos
pital quite badly frozen. The captain says
that the hardships endured by them COM
menced soon after leaving port. The wind
blowed gale and the schooner at every
plunge buried herself in the icy waters. 1t
was impossible to start a fire in the galley and
no food was partaken of until a schooner
took them from the sinking vessel. At
Baltimore they applied for relief at many
places only to meet rebuffs. The money to
get the sick ones properly cared for and pay
their own way home was raised by borrowing
from the people on the steamer and by
pawning such articles as they we're able to
bring from the wreck.
