ENGLaND,s DEADLY PAsTIME,

There are sports and sports, and our En-
glish cousins in their devotion to athletic
pastimes are not second TO any people on the
earth. Our enthusiasm over baseball is
equaled and even surpassed by their delight
over cricket or football, and a game OF either
will bring out a large crowd Of loyal
Britons. AneEt the latter game-which, by
;he way. is coming to the front as a healthy
sport in this country-aD Englishman's s
schedule of fatalities occurring during the
season ended with March will be interesting
According to this gentleman ther. were
twenty-five football players killed and eighty
permanently manned during the season of
IS9O-91 in England. The six months record,
as made by the compiler, is truly dreadful
list OF casualties. Aside from the dead and
permanently manned the most serious acci-
dents were: Legs broken, 20; legs fractured,
6; arms broken, s; arms fractured, 9; collar
bones broken, 10; thighs fractured, ., in ad-
dition to a list OF bad cuts, bruises, internal
injuries, disocations, broken noses, etc. The
wonder is how a game so seemingly fatal
and dangerous can survive.
No schedule of mishaps on this side the
wster has been made, out il is not likely
that ours would be equally awful. 1t may
not be that the game as played here is safer
tian in England. but only that enough
games have not been played to make such
bad showing. However that may be, the
fact that the last football season was fatal to
many bright young Englishmen remains.
1t would seem, then, that to become popular
ou this side Of the Atlantic some features of
the game viii have to be modified. AS an
exercise, the sport ranks high. If it can be
made as safe as baseball it may some day
become as p0pul;-,

LYNcEED IN 4 QUIET MANNER.
Summary but Orderly Justice Dealt Out t
Negro,


Negro.
FRANKLIN, TENN, April 3o.-The city was
crowded with negroes yesterday the occasion
being the performance of 1o-cent circus. One
of the negroes Jim Taylor, became very trou-
blesome and shot Policeman Charles Cook, who
was trying to arrest him. He was afterward
lodged in Jail. About 10 O'Clock last night
well-organized mob of men attacked the jail,
overpowered the Sheriff. took the keys from
him and quietly carried the negro down a side
street to tho covered bridge and hanged him TO
q crossbeam. All was done In an orderly man
ner, under recognized leaders. His body was
then rfddled with bullets and left hanging.
The mob then quietly dispersed. Most of
them were on horseback, and nc one knew who
they were.
1t has since been learned that in the fight the
negro also shot one of the circus men. The
negros attack on Policeman Cook was pecu-
liarly atrocious. as he had him down. face
downward. and then caught hold of his shoul-
der and shot him in the back OF the neck He
is said to have been feared by his race and re-
garded as desperate.

knights of Labor Prefer Charges Against
the Commander of the District Militia.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-A committee
composed of Messrs. Paul T. Bowen, L.
P. Wild, and E. W. Hambleton, repre-
senting District Assembly No. GO K. OF
L., called upon the Secretary of War
yesterday and presented charges against
Brigadier.Gen Albert 0rdway, COM
manding the National Guard Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
The charges are that General 0rdway,
in q lecture to the officers OF the guard,
used language that was reasonable, and
calculated to create in the minds OF die
officers sense OF their superiority 10
the law; and to create bitter hatred
and blood-thirsty vindictiveness toward
such people as they may be called upon
to restrain in the interests of peace and
good order.
Also that he abandoned the field of
instructions in proper military tactics,
and in condemning social, political and
economic doctrines he exceeded his
proper function. The Secretary prom
ises the committee that the charges
should have proper consideration.
