A RAPIST LYNCHED.
One Ghoulish Fiend Meets Justice by
Mob.

MACON, Ca, Oct. 1S.-Willie Singleton,
10 year-old negro, was lynched on the out
skirts of the city last night for rape com
mitted three weeks ago. The victim Of the
outrage was the 19-year-old daughter Of
one of Macon's most highly respected citi-
zens, beautiful young debutante, highly
educated and accomplished and a favorite
in society. The home of her parents is in
the suburbs Of the city, two miles from the
Central railway station, but on the electric
car line.
The young lady had been away from
home and was expected to return on a rain
reaching the city at IL O'Clock at night. By
some misunderstanding the parents of the
young lady drove with their carriage to
the Central depot whereas she reached the
city by the East Tennessee road, whose
station is In another part of the CITY.
Her parents finding she had not arrived
on the train they met, drove home, suspect
ing nothing wrong. Meantime. the young
lady had alighted from the train on the op-
posite side OF the town, and was surprised
and bewildered at not being met by some
member of the family. She sought the
aid of a police officer, who advised
her to goto some hotel for the night She
insisted, however, on being taken home.
She had been away for the summer and
was in fever of expectancy at the prospect
of meeting her loved ones again. On her
insistance the policeman called cab driver
by the name of VIII Singleton, and assist
ing the young lady in, gave the driver his
directions.
THE DAsTARDLY DEED.
The negro drove away with his fare, but
instead of taking a direct route to her
fathers house he drove her by dark road,
which led through a grove deserted at
Trhf e4Ar-a nd 81 l. d.
riage, he turned upon the heretofore IN
suspecting girl and before she
could even utter a scream had
checked and dragged her from the
carriage and proceeded to execute his
foul purpose. Having gratified his brutal
passions he put her in the carriage and
drove her within hundred yards Of her
fathers door. when he rudely pushed her
out, and, telling her that if she breathed a
word of what had happened he would
kill her, drove rapidly away. The
poor girl managed to struggle to
the house, and when inside to tell her horri-
fed family the dreadful story. Since then
she has been lingering between life and
death from the effects Of the brutal attack.
The rapist disappeared and was not heard
of again until Thursday in Eufaula, Ala.
He was taken from the train a few miles
from Macon by an armed party,
and last night was carried to the
woods where the crime was commit
ted and swung to a tree. The brute had
previously been identified both by his VIC
tim and by policeman who knew him. A
large placard was fastened to the body of
the negro as the wind swayed it to and fro,
on which was inscribed a warning to ali
others of his kind. All present took an
oath not TO reveal the name of the young
lady.
To-day the coroner had an inquest over
the dead body OF Singleton. The jury re-
turned a verdict that he came to his death
at the hands of person or persons I'M
known to the jury.

EDIsoN's BOYHooD.
The Wizards First Great Invention
the Result of an Accident.


From the Chicago Herald.
But nothing is too wonderful for Edison
/ to produce. When look back TO twenty
| five years ago and put Tom Edison, as l
then knew him. alongside Of the Thomas a.
Edison Of to-day, and note what has taken
! place. am prepared almost for anything.
Twenty-Five years ago, as sat by Edison in
New York telegraph Office. l little thought
that there slumbered within that man the
fires of a genius that would one day startle
the world There was nothing wonderful
about Edison. A plain and unpretentiOus
man, be came and went without troubling
any one with his conversation Perhaps be
spoke to me more than to any other man in
the place, because we sat- at adjoining ia
bles.
Zone day his wire gave out OF went
wrong in some way. He was working New
Haven; l was operating Boston. He started
60 fix it, and while thus engaged his message
came back over my wire. / called him.
Tom, can you explain thisF
He looked for a moment, and then re-
marked:
"'Why, that is caused by induction; the
two wires are near each other
He went off and shortly afterward
came seemingly lost in thought.
"'H es, that's what causes it, he repeated.
i wonder If we could devise plan like that
to make two circuits on one wire so that two
men could send and two others receive at
the same timer
And he went back to his instrument
Out of that little accident he devised the
duplex telegraph system. Then follow ed
the quadruplex, and these have saved the
telegraph company millions of dollars"
Had Edison before that shown any in
ventive geniusg'
He had been working on a telegraph
system, but he discovered that the Wheat
stone system-I think that is the name
covered the ground. and he gave it up. You
know the rest. Edison's achievements are
now no secret
The steps leading up to that perfected
monograph, how Edison discovered that the
sound waves of the human voice might be
so directed as to trace an impression upon a
solid substance, are Just as wonderful Ed-
son found it almost accidentally while he
was experimenting with a different object
In view. In manipulating a machine in
tended to repeat Morse characters he found
that when the cylinder carrying the in
dented paper was turned with great swift
ness 1t gave off a humming noise. That led
to several experiments, such as fitting a dia-
phragm to the machine, which would re-
ceived the vibrations made by the voice.
The cylinder, when rapidly revol we'd, caused
repetition of the original vibrations, lust
as II the machine itself were speaking
That settled the matter, and Edison found
that the problem of registering human
speech, so that it could be repeated by
mechanical means as often as might be de-
sired, was solved. Yes, Edison is a genius"

"Whatin he exclaimed 'are YOU C. A
White, the author of that song"
That is my name," said The composer
taking out his card. Have you the honoI
Of the young lady's acquaintance"
Il happen u he ne. father" said the
other, as a bland smils Passed over his face.
"Well, wellm exclaine Mr.. White, start
ing back in surprise. "And do you think
she would permit me to delicate my song tc
herg"
THAT you must ask the young lady her
self, " said the father, who presented the
mu 'ician to Miss Bertha Rose Barnitz.
The young lady Is the daughter Of Brevet
Col Albert Barnitz of the Seventh cavalry,
United States army, who is now living in
retirement in this city, and who fought with
distinction under Gen. Custer.
This incident was closing chapter of a
series of romantic events connected with
the song marguerite.
The death Of Mr.. Whites wife occurred
about a year ago, and the composer was re-
leased from active business relations with
his Boston firm, and took long vacation to
recuperate his health. MIR. White has speAt
the past year in visiting the western aud
southern states.
Thousands OF singers have no doubt won-
dered why the title-page of Marguerite"
bore no dedication like all the other famous
works written by this author. The reason
for this omission was that Mr.. White had
in his mind an ideal picture of woman
corresponding in all feminine graces with
his musical picture of the ideal Marguerite.
The composer determined that when he met
a living woman who should approach his
ideal conception, he would dedicate his song
to her.
During his sojourn In the south, and
while stopping at Atlanta, Ga, he caught on
the hotel piazza, while hurrying to catch a
train, 1eeting glimpse of a face and figure
which we're almost the exact counterpart Of
his dreams. The vision remained with him,
aud wherever he went Mr.. White was un-
able to shake off his sentimental fancy.
Several months later while in Cleveland,
he again caught glimpse in the street of
the ideal of his dreams.
Miss Bertha Rose Barnitz Is blonde,
above the medium height, with hair, which,
when unloosed, touches the ground. Her
form is almost faultleSs. In addition to her
physical gifts she has remarkable talent
for sculpture and painting. She was born
in Leavenworth, Kan. Her mother, who is
q woman Of more than ordinary accomplish
ments and striking beauty, is a warm friend
Of the poet Whittier, to whom she has paid
frequent visits of late. Her father, Col.
Baruitz. is gentleman of pronounced liter
airy gifts.
Hereafter the title-page of the song MAR
guerite" will contain the dedication to Mr..
Whites newly found ideal, with a portrait.
