LYNcHING IN New YoRK.-A crime,

number of young girls, who stood about
80 feet away, and also by two young
negroes, who would have intcrfered in
the girls behalf but they were kept at
bay by revolver. Jackson, after his
fearful crime, fed, leaving his victim in
an insensible condition and with inju-
ries which will probably prove fatal.
A posse of men started in pursuit Of
Jackson and traced him for several

was led to the rock upon which these

executioncrs were 50 drunk that their
shots but wounded the human target.
They left the ground at once and a ne
gro brought rough coffin to the side
of the wounded man. Assisted By two
other negroes, the body was put in the
box and an effort made to nail the lid,
but the victim pushed and kicked
against it so vigorously that the task
was only accomplished by two Of them
sitting on the lid while the other drove
the nails, immediately after which the
interment was made.

IT Is the general and common sense
impression in the South as well as in
The North that most CT the naturalized
foreigners vote the democratic ticket.
The Philadelphia Record, however,
enectually removes this erroneous i'm
preston from the minds of its readers,
by census statistics, which demonstrate
the fact that the largest gains in the re-
publican vote of Pennsylvania are in
the mining regions of that State, the
population of which is composed large
ly of immigrants. As the republican, is

o'clock, she took the little one into the

She was bending over the crib when a

shoulder and turning she saw strange

''If you holler, I'll kill you," he said.
