New York Evening sun.
The case of Bob Lewis, the negro who
was lynched yesterday by a mob in the
State Of New York for assaulting q
woman. is likely to give the Republican
promoters of the Force bill some trouble
to explain Lewis was % years old
About o'clock yesterday afternoon he
met Miss Lena Mcmahon ON the banks of
the Neversink river near the town Of
Port lervis. n. Y. Miss McMahons IN.
iuries are so serious that they win proba-
bly, prove fatal As soon as Il was known
in Port Jervis that this horrible crime
had been committed, q number of in
furiated men started in pursuit of the
negro. He was captured by three
of them, whose names are Carley,
Horton and Johnson, and was brought
back to Port Jervis, where he was put in
the lookup A large crowd soon col
lected around this building The sug-
gestion that the prisoner should be
lynched met with general approval
After breaking open the lookup and
taking out the negro, the mob finished
It's work by hanging Lewis 10 the nearest
tree. The substitution of violent and
uncontrolled passions for the orderly
procedure of courts of justice must
always be deplored, no matter what the
apparent excuse for IL may be. Not only
is the individual crime a blot ON our
civilization. but it iucites other men
TO act similarly in similar cases, and II
often proyokes retaliatons leading ulti-
mately TO a regular blood feud. More
over whatever shadow of excuse white
families living in the South may claim
FOR lynching negroes, AN orderly town
of 10000 Inhabitants, within fifty miles
Of New York, cannot truthfully say that
the arm of the law is not effective onongh

chastity of women are always
peculiarly abhorrent to people with any

excuse murder Indeed, it is question

against the person, and an increase In

DELAWARE CITY, Del, June 3 The
tug Hamilton Disston of Philadc lphia
caught fire in some mysterious manner
while in mid stream this morning and
was entirely consumed in very short
while The captain first had the crew
endeavor TO extinguish the flames but
the FIRE gained headway with such rapid
ity that the fight was abandoned The
craft was then headed for the shore and
it was race for life, for the flames
threatened TO consume the craft and
crew before she could be landed She was
finally beached and the crew jumped into
the water and swan 60 the shore The
boat is said to be total loss. The crew
returned to Philadelphia on the Major

IT win be difficult TO establish any
method Of voting by machinery chiefly
because those who are in the majority
are satisfied with. prefer even. the pres
ent methods The minority cannot change
the methods and the majority do not wish
to change. The recent trial at Lock
port A. Y. of the Myers automatic
voting machine. the use of which has
been legalized was thoroughly success,
full Sixty four different candidates were
voted for on three different tickets. andl
the result was declared 20 everybody $
satisfaction with few minutes after the
close Of the polls. There is nc
doubt that the purity of the ballot
may be almost absolutely assured, and
fraud rendered impossible, by this auto-
matte machine The other advantages,
of saving time and expense are obvious,
though not so important. Hundreds Of
patents have been secured for the various
automatic voting devices Edison in.
vented an electric machine In 1869. but
the most notable effort, previous to the
Myers machine, was that of +. j, Grace
well-known telegraphist now dead, who
about twenty years ago IN.
vented an admirable apparatus
for recording votes by electricity.
a working model was exhibited before a
congressional committee at Washington
without accomplishing anything and
without attracting more than passing
notice The machine was successful in
doing the work, but not successful in
commanding public attention. Schuyler
Colfax, then Speaker of the House. as
surcd the inventor that the minority
could not secure the introduction of
such machine, while the majority had
moi the slightest desire TO diminish the
time consumed i'm taking a vote by the
antiquated and cumbrous process of
calling the yeas and nays one by one.
The Myers machine has already at.
tracted public attention; its use has been
authorized-not made obligatory-by the
New York Legislature and it has been
successfully used in an election at Lock.

buttoned diagonally with three large
ornamental buttons. The skirt should
be made without foundation, as indeed
all summer skirts are.
Before ! close must say few words
about petticoots which, ON account of the
trained skirt and the exhibition it neces-
sitates when raised, is now matter for
serious consideration Black moire, with
delicate narrow stripes of yellow, pink,
