LYNCmED FOR HIS CRIME.
hoe Burns Hanged by a Mob at
Martinsburg.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Feb. 49,
This morning between II and l
o'clock band of nearly three hun
dred masked calvary broke open
the jail and took Joe Burns, colored,
who ravished Mary Fellers, on the
7th inst, in woods two miles south
on the Winchester pike, and hanged
him to a tree. Before his death he
confessed the crime. The Coroner
jury failed to find any clue to the
identity of the participants. Intense
excitement prevails. An effort will
be made to apprehend the violators
of the law.
The story of the outrage was a
most revolving one. Miss Fellers
had been employed in Baltimore, and
had just returned to her home in
this city, and the unnatural brute
taking advantage of her lonely con-
dition decoyed her to secluded
place, where he perpetrated his
crime.
Burns had been secreted by the
officials in the celler, but the mask
ers made thorough search and
found him. He was hastily taken
from the Jail and placed in a wagon,
and taken nearly two miles from
town and hanged to tree. The
maskers acted with great GOODNESS
and determination.
Burns seem to be terribly fright
ened when found by the lynchers.
The members of the party did not
make much effort to conceal their
identify.

The Great Lecturer Dead.

John B. Cough, the eloquent tenn
perance lecturer, was stricken with
paralysis ON Monday evening of last
week while lecturing in Philadelphia,
and died Thursday evening at 4:40
o'clock, aged SO years. When
stricken down he was just finishing
the sentence: Young man, make
your record clean" These were the
last words he ever spoke.
Mr.. Coughs career was wonderful.
His early life was that of pauper.
His mother was buried in the Pot
ter's Field, and he ran behind the
pauper's hearse. He was drunk
ard and an outcast, but he became
the most wonderful lecturer of his
day. Since he began he has appear
ed before an audience altogether
S,56S times up to the beginning of
the present year. At a fair esti-
mate he has spoken before 100000
people, and has travelled over $4,000
miles in meeting his appointments.
To him, therefore, belongs the unique
distinction of having addressed more
human beings than any man now
living on our globe. And no man
living has been the innocent occa-
sion of so much hearty laughter and
as many honest tears. Spurgeon
began ten years later than Cough,
and has probably not spoken more
than half as often. Henry Ward
Beecher did not rise into celebrity
until Cough had been for half a
dozen years the prince of platform
speakers. For over forty years NO
speaker has commanded such crowds
who were eager to pay for the privi-
lege of listening to the most exciting
of discourses delivered in the dra-
matte voice and gesticulation. AS
an orator, Mr.. Cough reached his
climax of power thirty years ago
His voice was then as musical as a
flute, with marvellous power in the
tender, pathetic passages. In the
days of his highest glory, no mar
could surpass him in delineation Of
character and the representations Of
"all sorts and conditions" of hui
manity. He has often been mother
child, pleading wife, brutal
husband, plantation negro, &
Scotch deacon, Frenchman, raw
Irishman, a pompous coxcomb, and 9
poor, besoted topper, all in one hours
address. And he excelled in every
character. II he had chosen to b.
an actor, he would probably have
been one of the greatest commedian'
of the age.
