Woman.

woman.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 12.-Robert
Biggs, alias Charles Woods, colored, was
lynched at fernando, Miss, at an early
hour this morning by mob of several hun
dred men from Lake View. Biggs was con-
fined in the fernando Jail on charge of
having assaulted Mrs. j. N. Raines, the
wife of farmer living near Lake View In
August last. He was arrested near Mem
phis on September 27 and subsequently
taken to fernando. He made full con-
fession at the time, but claimed that the
woman's husband had hired him to murder
her;that he was drunk and assaulted her in
stead, and that Raines was satisfied with
what he did and connived at his escape.
Raines was also arrested and for time it
was thought both men would be lynched.
At the preliminary examination yesterday
Raines was discharged and Biggs was re-
manded to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury. About midnight Jailer Wal
Inns was aroused, and, going to the door,
was seized by the mob, tied to tree and
gagged. Biggs was taken from his cell and
led with rope tied around his neck to the
Court House Square, where the rope was
thrown over the limb of tree and Blggs
was soon dangling in mid-air. The mob
its business in quiet and Or
derby manner and left town as soon as the
negro was dead.

A CHURCH MIDDLE.
The Trustees Decline to Accept Pastor
Appointed by the Bishop.


BUFFALO, October 12.-Quite stir has
been created among the trustees and congre-
CATION of the Delaware Avenue Methodist
Episcopal Church, in this city, by the action
of the LockpoIt Conference. Rev. Dr.
Bashford, pastor of the church, had been
appointed President of the Wesley Univefs-
ity of Ohio, but by an arrangement with the
university he was permitted, on certain con-
ditions, to retain his pastorate here for an
other year. Notwithstanding this, the Con-
ference appointed j. D. Phelps, Of the UNI
versal Church, of Rochester, to I'LL the
pastorate of the Delaware avenue church.
The stewards of the church met In secret
session last evening. and elected DR.. Went
worth as temporary pastor. They also
passed caustic resolutions on the action OF
the Bishop. One of the trustees stated this
morning that the meeting voted unanl-
mously to respectfully refuse to receive Rev.
Mr.. Phelps. If the Bishop refuses to re-
consider his action the church will con-
tinue to refuse the appointment OF Mr.
Phelps, and will engage its own minister.
A dispatch from Rochester says that Rev.
Mr.. Phelps has been ordered by the Bishop
to proceed to Buffalo and preach in the Del
aware Avenue Church tomorrow, accord
ing to his appointment If the trustees OF
the church hold to their determination not
to accept Mr.. Phelps there is likely to be an
interesting conflict of authority.

ANOTHER STANDARD SCHEME.

A Rate on Tank Cars Which Will Drive Out
Independent Dealers.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
LIMA, October ia bombshell was ex-
ploded in the camp of independent oil
dealers to-day by circular which was sent
out BY the Central Traffic Association notify
ing all railroads to change the rate Of tank
cars to nearly double the former rate. This
is supposed to come from the Standard Oil
Company, who have adopted this device to
drive all independent dealers out of the
marker. A protest signed by all the lead
ing oil dealers in the city has been forwarded
to George P. Blanchard, Chairman of the
Central Traffic Committee, Chicago.
The question seems to be one of vital i'm
portance to the independent oil dealers,
driving them all out of the market, and
have the way clesred for the Standard. As
the Standard pipe line to Chicago has
capacity of 5000 barrels day and is run at
about 8 cents barrel, the difference be-
tween that and % would make handsome
income.

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.
Some Decided Changes Are to be Made ar
the Brooklyn Navy Yard A Big
Fresh Water Basin In Which
Vessels Can be Placed.

Vessels Can be Placed.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE IsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE improve
ments contemplated at the navy yard by the
special board, of which Rear Admiral d.
L. Braine is chairman, are in accordance
with the estimated expenditure of $8,000.-
900. One of the most important is the con-
struction Of fresh water basin for the
dockage of the new steel ships when they
are not in service. There will be large
pipes through which there will be con-
slant flow of fresh water from artesian wells
SO that the deterioration by fouling and cor
rosion by contact with salt water will be
removed. A big stone wall is to be built
all around the dock, with great gates COM
municating with the Whitney basin,
through which vessels may pass and be
closed in.
The yard will be supplied with an electric
plant for lighting and for motive power.
Electricity will take the place of steam in
shops, storehouses and docks where COM
paratively light motive power is required
for construction and repair. The electric
plant viii lie in that part of the old machine
shop near the dry dock which is now oecu-
pied by the large pumping engine. The
yard will be so we'll lighted BY electricity
that work may be done at night as well as
by day.
Big derricks are to be placed at all Of the
wharves. Bins capable of holding 16, 600
tons of coal, to be kept filled to avoid en-
barrassment by labor strikes, will be built.
The new boiler shop, an annex to the ma
chine shop, is now in process Of construc-
ton. A float dock for the landing of rail-
road trains from barges is to beeerected, and
with this improvement big guns may be
taken direct from the Washington gun
foundry without trans-shipment. About
five miles of railroad track is to be laid in
the yard. 1t will connect with every build
ing and wharf,

RULES ESTABLISHED.
The Hours When Visitors Will Be Received

The Hours When Visitors Will Be Received
at the White House.
WASHINGTON, October 12.-The neces-
sity of making some preparation for the
meeting of Congress has compelled the
President to establish the following rules
for the daily transaction of business at the
Executive Mansion, which will be strictly
adhered to:
Senators, members of Congress and others
having business with the President, will be
received every day, except Sunday, between
the hours of IL and 1890 o'clock, and at no
other time. The public receptions in the
East Room at P. NJ. on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Saturdays will be held as usual.
The President regrets the inconvenience to
which friends may be subjected by the en-
forcement of these rules, but he is sure that
they will see the necessity of his having
some hours each day that are absolutely free
from interruption.

The makers of the Ball
corset have a bonfire two or
three times a year to burn up
the corsets that women have
worn a week or two or three,
and taken back to the stores
because they didn't like 'em.
How many corsets get
burned, do you think? One
in three thousand.
That means that when
three thousand women try
the Ball corset, one of 'em
makes up her mind that it
isn't the corset for her.
That's too bad! A corset
