FLOGGED TO DEATH.
The Sad Story of Brutal Tragedy Near
Ltthonia. Ga.

A horrible tragedy was enacted in the
quic. town of Lihonia Monday morning.
The story is grouped about the death of
little boy and the cause Of his death was
the brutal treatment which he received
from the Lash Of his temporary guardian.
a short while ago the chld'S father, q
Woodworking man by the name Of Mi
chael McLane, left the town of LIthonia
and set out for Il lengthy visit to Penn
sylvania.
He had previously suffered the loss of
his wife, who was an inmate for several
days Of the Grady hospital, and who was
q woman Of strong maternal affections.
Before leaving for Pennsylvania, Mr..
McLane began to cast about for Il suita-
bic person to whose care he could leave
his children until his return home.
Finally he encountered the man for
whom he was looking and the name Of
That man WAS Patrick Burns. Patrick
Burns enjoyed the reputation of being
clever man and without distressing his
guardianship in the least, Michael McLane
set out for Pennsylvania, leaving the chill
dren in the care Of their new protector.
Finally the little boy Mike died 1t was
Sunday evening, and tho stars peering ont
III the sky had just crowned a beautiful
day.
Mike, Il bright little fellow, and only
day or two before so full of fun and life,
had gone UP TO meet his mother in the
shadows of the great white throne.
The death of the little child was so sud
den that an inquest was held An examina-
ton of the body revealed that the child had
been terribly beaten and that stripes coy
cred his back from his neck to his feet.
A verdict of murder at the hands Of Pat
rick Burns was rendered by the jury after
short deliberation.
Patrick Burns and his wife were both
arrested and after preliminary hearing
were bound over to the superior court to
answer to the charge of murder
They are now lodged in the jail ut De
catur
1t was a brutal and outrageous case of
whipping, and the doctors who testified
that the foGging was the cause of his
death were DR.. Chupp and DIR. j. A.
Farmer.
A sadder tragedy never startled the good
people of LithOnia.
The New York presbytery will take up the
case Of DR.. Briggs on November 9th.

WILL NOT LEAVE LOUISIANA.
What President Conrad Has to Say About
the Big Lottery.

INC Day i1otteTy.
New Orleans. August 26.-Presdent Paul
Conrad of the Louisiana Lottery Company,
was interviewed today about the dispatch
regarding the companys attempt TO pur-
chase a location in the Sandwich islands,
He said: ut is a fake sensation pure and
simple, or malicious connection, deSi gned,
perhaps, to prejudice the company in the
minds of the people of the United States by
creating the impression that our business
is to be removed from the legal restrictions
and accountability it is now under by
virtue of the laws of Louisiana Were the
Louisiana State Lottery Company to be-
come q Hawaiian instead of a Louisiana
concern, of course it would be practically
an impossibility to enforce claims against
it; whereas, being Il duly chartered corpora
ton of this state, it is amenable to the laws
Obligations can be enforced through the
courts against it the same as against any
lawful or responsible company"
but what are the cOmpany's plans for the
future? Might not their negotiations be
carried on without your knOwledge"'
Scarcely: such vast sums as are talked
of are not carried in ones vest pocket nor
expended by one member of a concern with
out consulting his associates. The owners
of the Louisiana lottery are now scattered
over the globe seeking peace or pleasure, ac-
COrding to their condition or taste. Mr.
Morris, with friends has been for weeks
cruising about on his yacht, and I doubt
if any one has communicated with him on
business of any description Certainly he
is not giving himself any concern about
lottery business and [ repeat there is sim
ply nothing in this alleged San Francisco
story except idle gossip, so far as | know,
and I think | know all the facts The
Louisiana Lottery Company will live ont it's
allotted time as fixed by its vested rights,
say a couple of years longer. doing its bust
ness here az it always has, and abiding by
the popular decision in the recent contest

Hiph Smoke Stacks.

Washington, October 5.-Ihe two naval
ships, for which proposals were issued by the
navy department last week, will contain a new
feature in modern naval construction and
which our navy will be the first to adopt.
Each vessel will have three smoke tunnels,
100 feet high or higher, by thirty or forty
feet than any smoke stacks on naval or mer-
chant ships, with the single exception of the
English merchant steamer Scott, which has
adopted the high Ign, stack These ., new t stacks,
draft and give additional draft in ordinary
steaming, by reason of the increased force
with which the smoke viii be drawn through
the high tunnels. Another advantage looked
for, is that all the smoke and gas will he car
ried clear of the marine tops and not Interfere

and light fire pieces The pro-
posed towering tunnels through which
the volumes of smoke will pass will not add
any to the grace and beauty of the vessels,
but rather detract from their appearance.

A MEDAL FOR SPEARS.
Who Dropped Three of tho Robbers at
GOffeyyfIie.


Chicago, October S.-A subscription list
was circulated among banking houses here
for a fund to purchase a gold medal for
Liveryman Spears, of COffeyVille, Kan,
whose remarkable shooting did so much
mischief to the Dalton gang of bank rob
bers. Enough money was raised in a few
minutes The order has been placed for a
handsome gold medal which will have en-
graved upon one side a picture of Spears
with his deadly rifle. The feeling regard
ing this matter is likely TO take an even more
substantial turn than this. A prominent
bank officer yesterday sent the following
letter 70 Thomas Scurr, president of the
First National bank of COtfeyylle: The
whole country has been startled by bold
and audacous attempts to rob two banks
of your city. They have also been horror
stricken to learn of the loss of lives of good
citizens attending the work, and have been
gratified that 50 many desperate characters
have gone to their last accounts. VIII you

Officials at Washington Surprised by
Another InsultinG Action.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. - Secretary
Tracy made public the following dis
patch, which he had received from Com
mander Evans, of the United States
steamer Yorktown, now at Valparaiso,
Chilli, in regard to the Balmacedist refu-
gees put aboard that vessel by United
States Minister Egan and the Spanish
minister:
"The American minister informs me
that the Chilian minister of foreign af-
fairs has changed his mind about refu-
gees now on the Yorktown, and that
they may be taken out of any merchant
vessel touching at Chilian port by the
local authority. Arrangements had
been made for all of them to sail, but
this change of base on the part of the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs COM
pels me to, keep them, which crowds
me very much. Shall l land them at
Callao, Peru, or Molendo, Peru? No
steamers from here go direct to neutral
territory. This. unexpected act of the
Chihan minister of foreign affairs is
due. he states, in part to my saluting the
Spanish minister when he came on board
to deliver two refugees. have request
ed the American minister to say to the
of foreign affairs that 1 am re-
sponsible to my own government and
not to that of Chilli in such matters, and
that will not accept it. His action
seems unworthy OF the representative Of
a serious government"
Surprise to Oficials.
The action on the part of Senior
Pereira, the Chilian minister of foreign
affairs, in deciding that the refugees
might be taken cut of any merchant
vessel touching at a Chilian port by local
authority, was a great surprise to the
officials in Washington. They had been
led to believe from the fact that refugees
were allowed to go on board the York
town without molestation that they
would be permitted to leave the country
without further hindrance. This belief
was no doubt shared by the United
States officials in Chill, for the navy de-
partment had been informed by Com
mander Evans that the refugees were to
sail on their way to Europe.

Two Persons Burned to Death and
Over Twenty Others injured. :.
BRAINERD, Mimi. Jan. 15.-A fright
full railroad accident occurred on the
Northern Pacific seven miles east of
Brainerd. The second section of No.
9, with the Andrews Opera company
on board left West Superior at 10 o'clock
p m. for Grand Forks. About half q
mile this side of Jonesville, at $50 a. m.
the train struck broken rail. The en-
gine and baggage car passed over in
safety, but the sleeping car was derailed
and ran some 800 feet on the ties when
it toppled over, breaking loose from the
train, and went down an embankment
some five feet high, lying on her side.
The Pullman conductor, Herbert G.
Scott, was one of the first to get out
side, and when he did so no fire was
visible, but as soon as the windows were
broken to iberate those inside, the
flames shot out and in very short
tins
The Car Was Enveloped.
Mrs. Ed Andrews and Miss Lille Wal
lace were burned to death and over q
scors of others burned and bruised.
The night being the coldest of the sea-
son, the thermometer reaching 46 be-
low, the suffering of the injured was
terrible.
The accident was an unavoidable one,
the rail breaking so1ne five yards from
the end, the piecn breaking In five
pieces. Conductor Ball, who was in
charge of the train, says the sight was
the most appalling he had ever wit
messed. The shrieks and means of the
women could be heard half mile away.
Many of the women were nude, but
were wrapped up as they were taken
out. The bodies of the two victims
were burned beyond all recognition of
human beings, the heads, legs and arms
being entirely gone.
The mem bers of the company lost all
their worldly goods except stage clothes,
including musical instr ruments, watches
and money. ~---.-.-..------. - -.....
