! CENTREvILLE, MD, 12-Asbury Green
colored, sentenced Monday by Judge
Stump, of Queen Anne's Circuit Court,
| to twenty-one years in the penitentary
for a felonious assault on Mrs. Howard
Tolson, of Kent Island, February 2S,
was taken from Centreville Jail by a
body of masked men shortly after |
O'Clock this morning and hanged on
bearing peach tree. 1t had been threat
ened before sentence was passed that in
case the penalty was anything less than
hanging the mob would interposa, but
after the conservative and judcious
course of Judge Stump IN imposing a
thought that all disposition to violence
had been removed. The sentence of the
court was apparently aequiesced in, and
no alarm was created or apprehension
excited. 1t was, therefore, q surprise
when it was realized that body of fifty
or sixty men. some them armed with
guns, all of them masked and complete
ly disguised, should take the law into
their own hands and override the decis-
ion Of the sworn administrators of the
law. The mob overpowered the jail
officers, took the keys from them, open
ed the prison doors, and dragged the
prisoner from bis cell to the place where
he was hanged, though he must have
been checked to heath by the rope
around his neck dragging him on the
ground before the tree was reached.

St. Louis Not a Literary Center.

"This is a strange old city in a literary
way" said st. Louis man. st has only
a few book stores, whose proprietors con-
template more in the light of patriots than
as practical men expecting profits from
sales. Very few St. Louisians buy books.
They wait for the cheap editions to reach
the public libraries and then make a rush
for them. And the libraries of some of our
homes are frightful to contemplate. Think
of a library without dictionary or an en-
cyclopedia in it.
''The average st. Louis library is made
up in this order: First, complete set OF
Dickens works; second, a complete set of
Thackeray's works; third. Motley's His
tory of the Dutch Republic; fourth, Pres
colts histories; fifth, Byron in several
kinds Of fancy binding and gilt edges;
sixth, Shakespeare in ditto; seventh,
Moore and Scott, ditto. Here the list prac-
tically ends, and all the rest can be classed
as unknowable miscellany, odds and ends
of old trash brought down from gener-
atoms or received as holiday presents.
"And the worst of it is, the prime object
of library appears TO be the ability to say
we have one, for have noticed that most
of our people who have these sdornments
lock them up and borrow Southworth aud

BACK FROM DETROIT.

Capt. John Wallace returned from De
troit night before last aud is again in
stalled performing his duties in the county
clerks office. He reports a delightful
trip. AT Detroit the crowd was immense,
and the streets presented a vast moving
mass of humanity. About $4,000 people
attended. He states that the weather was
nice and cool. Notwithstanding the great
number of people, the old soldiers received
all the comforts they could desire. Some
of the wealthy citizens of the city threw
open their houses and lawns. In the lawns
they put up numerous tents for the use of
the veterans. Nothing was charged them
for their lodging at such places. The meet
ing Is now practically over. The reunion
was one of the most pleasant ever held.
