A BLACK BRUTgS CRIME.
A Negro Rape Fisnd Lynched ut Port
Jeryis, New York-He Confessed his
Crime-The Victim Likely to Die.

"A Negro DApo NAohu nyASHSN -
,Jervis, New York-He Confessed BIS
Crime-The Victim Likely to Die.
PoRr JEEvIs, n. Y, June "A crime
heinous and revolving in its nature and
characterized by circumstances OF ex-
treme brutality vas perpetrated to-day
upon the person Of Miss Lena McMa-
hon, the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Mcmahon, of this city.
The crime was committed by negro
know as Bob Jackson. 1t was witness
ed by q number Of young girls and also
by two young negroes, who would have
would have interfered in the girls be-
half but they were kept at bay by a
revolver.
Jackson, after his fearful crime, fed,
leaving his victim in an insensl0le con-
ditiOn and with injuries which Will
probably prove fatal.
A posses was organized and the brute
was captured about nine miles from
Port JerviS. On the way back TO this
village Jackson confessed the crime and
implicated one VIM. Foley, white man,
who, he claimed, was in the conspiracy
to ruin Miss Mcmahon.
On his arrival at the lookup he was
taken in hand by q mob. The village
police tried TO protect him, but their
efforts were unavailinR.
The moose was adjusted about his
neck, and he was strung up to neigh
boring tree in the presence OF howl
ing mob Of over thousand people.
For an hour the body hung suspended
from the tree where it was viewed by
crowds of people.
The mob is looking for Foley, who
had been paying attention to Miss Nc
MahOn, against her parents wishes, and
II be is found another lynching is more
than probable.

Yet.
PRAGUE, June o.-The disastrous fire
in the famous Birkenberg silver mine
near Przibram, Bohemia, has caused
mourning in hundreds Of families. The
accident is the most appalling one that
has ever occurred in the district.
Ali night long the work of searching
for the dead was continued. AT an
early hour this morning sixty-seven
bodies had been brought TO the surface.
Some of them presented most horrible
appearance. One hundred and nifty
men are still missing aud all hope OF
their being still alive mas been aoan-
doned.
Over one hundred bodies have been
brought to the surface to-day. They were
raised in patches OF three. No one was
rescued alive to-day. The faces OF the
victims are scorched and blackened and
show traces of desperate struggle Tor ne
The bodies were laid in rows in neigh
boring churchyard. The scenes at the
pits mouth to-day were heartreuding.
The rescuers continue 10 work fearlessly,
though at great risk. Many more over
powered by the smoke to-day and had TO
be drawn up 10 the surface:
A panic was created to-day when II be-
came known that l20 pounds OF dynamite
was stored in the mine, though the man
ager declares that the explosive is placed
where it cannot be reached by the fire.
One woman fell dead and another went
mad. The rescuers were encouraged IN
their work this morning by hearing oell
in an adjoining pit where a number OF NIL
ners are known 10 TO imprisoned.
The London Chronicles Vienna cores
pondent says that 100 bodies have been
taken out OF the Birkenberg mines, and
that $50 are still missing.

A NEVADA JUDGE.
he Wanted TO BE Unbiased and Yet
Make Money.


.Tud1s GOodlOtR IN the C0mSt0ck Club.
A conscientious Judge adorned the
Nevada bench. In his court suit in
volving the title to some mining
ground was pending between two COM
panies. In another part OF the district
the Judge had some claims which were
looked upon as mere "wlldcat." He had
for year been trying vainly to raise
money to open his claims. He had In
corporated with 10000 shares and held
them at 81 each, with the understand
ing that twenty per cent. OF the money
received for stock should be set aside
as working capital. But nobody would
buy. One night quite late the Judge
heard a soft knock on his chamber door.
1t was the president OF the company
that was plaintiff In the miRing suit.
'I was looking at your claims over on
the East Side. Judge" he said, "and
believe they are good. would like
some OF the stock"
The Judge cheerfully sold him $4,000
worth.
"I suppose" suggested His Honor,
"that this transaction had better be
htph iOl lANofnbs
"Of course" agreed the litigant.
A few DAYS later the jurlst met the
superintendent OF the defendant com
pany and talked stock 70 him. giving
tho opinion that II he bought about
$40, 900 worth be would do well. The
superintendent saw the point and in-
vested. The Judge deposited In bank
SIC. 900 OF the SEQ, 900 20 his own ac-
count and $4,000 10 the credit Of the
company.
Judgment was given 20 the plaintiff,
and the superintendent OF the losing
company went Wild and declared every
where that the Judge was a bribe-tak-
ing thief. His Honor presently sent for
both men and informed them that big
deposit OF ore had been struck In his
mine. He was. therefore, able 70 pay
dividend OF 81 share, and banded each
o! the astonished investors check fer
$40, 900. In a few days the mine was
sold for 5000, 900, and the Judge honor
ably gave each Of his Two stockholders
$50, 900.
why did you get me TO buy stock,
Judge" inquired the enriched and mol
ifed superintendent, when you meant To
decide against my company?
"To tell the truth, answered his Hon
or, II had received $4,000 from the
president here, and / was afraid II the
matter went that way into court
might be prejudiced, so / cold you a
like amount that I might go upon the
bench entirely unbiased"

LONDON, June Fin the House OF
Commons to-day, Wllfred Lawson asked
whether proceedings would be taken
against the partakers in and abetters OF

that he had recommended the public
prosecutor to see If there was any mate
rial that would justify the prose-
cution of the manager OF the
fight who had previously been
cautioned that he would be held
responsible for any breach OF the law.
The police did not recommend the pros
ecution of the principals. as the prose-
cution instituted against SlavIn and
McAuliffe after their fight had ended In
an acQuittal. The prosecution, be add
ed. did not depend upon:whether gloves
had been used or not, as prize hight
might be fought with gloves. The con-
test had not occurred with the cogni-
