ANOTHER LYNCHING.
Horrible Death OF n Brutal Murderer at
the Hands OF an Infuriated Mob.

KANSAS CITY, April 27.-The Times Tope-
ks, Kas.. special says: Last Saturday the
wife OF Jacob Freimuth, homesteader in
Seward County, was cruelty murdered and
outraged by Fritz Rupin, half-witted Ger
man. who was dragged to death later
Rupin had been fer some time enjoying the
hospitality of the Freimuths. He was
homeless and without friends, and they had
taken him in until he could find work.
On the day mentioned, during the tempo
Tary absence of his benefactor, Rupin over
powered his benefactress and brutally out
ragged her person. Not content with this, he
bound the lady hand and foot and cut her
throat from ear to ear. The brute then Sc
cured an old rusty hoe, and while the woman
was yet writhing In the death struggle he
disemboweled her with the blunt instru-
ment. When discovered her unborn babe
lay few feet from the body of the mother,
cut in two.
Mr.. Freimuth returned Sunday, and when
he discovered the .nutilated body OF his wife
he became a raving maniac. a neighbor in
that sparselY settled region happened to be
passing that way shortly after i o'clock,
and found him wild with frenzy, but dared
not approach for fear of his personal safety.
He rode rapidly to a settlement some eight
miles distant and told the terrible tale. A
party was at once organized, and returned
to the scene of the outrage and found Frei-
muth weltering in his own blood. He had
killed himself with shotgun. A grave was
dug ana the remains of the unfortunate peo-
pie were buried. The posse then set out to
scOur the country for the murderer, aud
found him secreted in a small ravine several
miles away from the scene of his diabolical
crime near the Cimarron River Some specula-
ton was INDUCED in as to the proper method
of Kidding the world of HIM, but not much
time was consumed in celebrating. A frac-
tioUs and spirited horse was secured and
sa6dled. One end of the long larat was then
fastened around his neck and the other ex-
tremity was attached to the pommel of the
saddle. The horse was started and amid the
shouting of the men and crack of revOlvers
rifles, the frightened animal tore madly
away. After run of nearly five miles the
beast fell exhausted, and the lifeless body of
the murderer was lOosened as soon as the
men came up. The rope had drawn so tight
that his head was almost severed from the
body. The features showed that he had
died terrible death. The body was left
lying on the prairie, uncovered.

Fred Douglas contributes to the May num-
Der of the North American Review, brief
article on the future of the colored race.
He says the negro stands before us to-day,
physically, manned and mutilated man.
His mother was dashed to agong before the
birth of her babe and the bitter anguish of
the mother is seen in the countenance OF her
offspring, slavery has twisted his limbs, shat
tered his feet, deformed his body and dis
torted his features he remains black but
no longer comely. Sleeping on the dirt floor
of slave cabin in infancy, cold on one side
and warm on the other; a forced circulation
on one side and a chilled and retarded cir
culation on the other, it has come to pass
that he has not the vertical bearing OF per-
feet man.
Mr.. Douglas thinks that this lack of SYM
metry creates a resistance to the progress
which cannot well be over-estimated, and
that we should not measure the negro from
the heights that the white race has attained
but from the depths from which he has
come Such men as Burke, Grattan, Currsn
and O'ConDell, he says, come OF comfortable
antecedents and sound parents, not from the
oppressed and famished poor of the famine
stricken districts of Ireland.
Mr.. Douglas writes that he has often feared
a wholesale massacre of the negro race, but
that these fears have decreased since the ne
gro has disappeared from the arena OF South
ern politics.
The kernel of his article is contained in
these words:
my strongest conviction as to the future
of the negro is that he will not be expatri-
ated nor annihilsted, nor Will he remain
forever separate and distinct race from the
people around him, but that he will be abb
sorbed, assimilated and will appear finally,
as the Phenicians now appear on the shores
of the Shannon, in the features OF blended
race"

manager of Ford's theater were conversing

The conversation drifted, as it naturally
would, to the all-absorbing subject-the war
and its virtual ending at the time of the
meeting-when, without any Introductory
remarks whatever, Booth asked What
would be the result of the sudden taking of
of the President of the United States? My
father as quickly answered: What would
be the result OF an earthquake shock? Booth
gazed steadily into my fathers face second,
and, turning about with a courteous Good

ward the theater. That night the earth
