SONS on THE REyOLUTIoN.

The meeting of Sons of the American
Revolution in this city yesterday indicated
that this society, though still comparative
ly new, is strong. There are at present
two general societies of Revolutionary de-
scendants, one styled the Sons of the Rev
olution and the other bearing the slightly
changed title of the Sons of the American
Revolution. In the year 1876 local socie-
ties of cognate character were established
in different portions of the country and
from them has sprung the present formid-
able list. The general society of the Sons
of the Revolution was finally formed on
the 10Th of April, 1890, with four State
branches, John Lee Carroll of Maryland
being elected president. The national or
ganization of the S. A. R. was instituted
nearly year earlier, on April 80, 1889,
and now comprises twenty-six State socie-
ties, under the general presidency of DR.
William Seward Webb of New York. II
is this latter general organization to which
all the New England State branches be-
long, save that of New Hampshire. The
Granite State has instituted society of its
own, admitting women to membership
contrary to the custom of the others, and
is independent of both general organiza
tions.
The Providence Journal suggests that 6
satisfactory union Of all these societies may
be formed at an early date, for they are one
in purpose and in their concerted strength
are capable of exerting an excellent infu
ence upon the community. Their common
object is to band together the descendants
of the soldiers and sailors of the Revolu
tionary war, to revive and perpetuate tn,
memories and traditions of that struggle
to teach the present and coming genera
| tions reverence for "the boys of '76," ant
to preserve SO far as possible the relics o
| the Revolutionary period.

A LYNCHING AHEAD!
CITIZENS RUN DOWN "A
GANG OF ROBBERS
A HAarp Engagement in the Dark.
:. In Which One Man on Each
So Side is Killed.

A Hsne of armed robbers and q posse OF
cittsAns came in contact near Alfalfa, Ala.
Saturday morning, resulting in the, .Yatal
wounding of Tom Wilson, one Of the posse
and John Bentley, one Of the gang. Fof
some time an organized band Of robbers and
burglars have been committing depredations
up and down the Alabama Great Southern
railroad, and only recently wrecked passeu-
ger train near Springville, which cost two
men their lives. Detectives have been ON
their track, and Friday night they were.
caught burglarizng store on Sand Noun
tafn, some miles out from Alfalfa
A posse of the best citizens Of the town
was at once gotten together, and went over
the mountain in pursuit. They failed to flndn
the gang, and were returning about o'clock
in the morning, when they ran across the
robbers at bridge over Willis creek In re,
ply to an order to surrender, the robbers
opened fire and a general engagement ensued,
about one hundred shots in all being fired.
The posse continued to close in on them, untiI
the robbers ran. Pursuit resulted i'm the capJ
ture of all but two. and one of them, namedl
John Bentley, was found in cabin and on a
DeQ dying. Tom w llSOIl, clUlLeIi, WHO WdSf
mortaIly wounded, was an alderman of At
ITALIA, and car inspector Of tho Alabama
Great Southern railroad.
1t is impossible, as yet, to ascertain the
names of all the captured men, but one OF
them is Florence Bentley, a brother to the one
killed, and another is named Litbrow. Accu-
rate descriptions have been obtained. That
of two of them tallies with the description of
the two men who recently committed a dar-
ing diamond robbery in this city, by which
they captured about $4,000 worth of rngs
from a jewelry store il, the heart of town,
and while the stores were full of people. The
favorite occupation of the gang was burglar
izing country stores and railroad stations
The citizens have been all day securing the
woods for the two that escaped, and an effort
was made to procure bloodhounds from Biz
mingham, but it failed.
A late report from Alfalfa says the excite
ment is great, and il Wilson dies before the
prisoners are removed, lynching will al
post certainly result.

AMERICAN TOURISTS
Are Not Guaranteed Perfect Safety in
Italy just Now.

There have been increased number of in
quiries at the United States legation as to
whether it is safe for Americans to travel in
Italy without fear of insult or outrage. This
feeling of dread upon the part of Americans
has seriously affected the sale Of tourist
tickets for Italy. One of the largest tour
houses recently instructed its agent in Rome
to ask the United States legation to give the
firm letter which they could use in their
business, assuring Americans they could
travel in Italy in safety. The United States
legation was compelled to refuse this request,
as in view of the continuance of violent
newspaper press attacks upon Americans, the
United States officials here could not feel
justified to do so.

La grippe is rapidly decimating the Indians
In the vicinity of White Bluffs. Nine died In
one day, and at Moses and Yakima reserva-
tions the death rate is large. 1t is not SO
much the disease as the treatment that causes
the great mortality. When afflicted the In
dams go into sweat boxes, and from there
jump into a cold stream of water, which re-
suits in pneumonia.
THE DEATH RATE IN NEW YORK.
Mortality In New York for the twenty -four
hours ending at noon was 1S1. Total for the
week was 1,347, the largest number for any
week this year. OF the last days deaths
twenty were from grip and complications.
The total number of deaths from grip to
