Down the Lynched Body of Her Ravisher.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 26.-The lynch
ing at Jellico last night Of the negro Joe
Payne, for assaulting Miss Fannie Bell
Cecil, was in itself very tame affair. He
confessed the crime and was swung mp to
the nearest tree without any excitement.
The mob pinned q placard on lis back
threatening death to anyone who should
disturb the body until 10 O'Clock to-day.
At that hour fully five thousand people
had gathered from neigbboring towns.
Miss Cecil. who was not badly injured sent
word that she would take pleasure
In cutting down the body. Her wishes
were granted. and with sharp knife she
severed the rope and the body fell to the
ground. She smiled as she cut the rope.
and the act was greeted with cheers from
the vast crowd. She is very hand
some young woman of eighteen, and is OF
good family. Len Tye. who ravished Miss
Bryant near the same spot last December,
has been located in West Virginia and
will be brought to Jellico in day or two
He will be lynched as soon as he arrives.

MINISTER'S TAKE A HAND.
Great Indignation in New Jersey Over the
Race Track Licensing Bill.

JERSEY CITy, N. j.. Feb. 27.-The regu-
lar ser vices of the Congregational Tsber-
nacle. of which the Rev. John /. Scudder
is pastor. were omitted this evening and an
anti-race track indignation meeting was
held instead. Pastor Soudder denounced
the Legislature for passing the bills and
also denounced Governor Wertz for
vetoing the bills before their oppo-
nents bad an opportunity TO work MP
public sentiment against them. Ex-Mayor
Gilbert Collins said he could not indorse
Wertz. He believed the Governor had
acted in good faith. 1t was his habit in
all matters of Importance to act promptly
when once he had made up his mind.
Public sentiment was against these bills
and he vetoed them. There was time
when public sentiment might have
sustained them. because there was
time when lotteries were
legal and college had been built by lot
terry, but public sentiment had made long
stride In advance. He believed that If o
concerted demonstration was made even
now their repeal could be secured.
In bringing the meeting to close Mr.
Scudder said he had been informed that an
Indignation meeting would soon be held
in Trenton, and he asked ell who were
up. Twelve persons arose. The platform
was decorated with strips of muslin on
which were printed the names of the legis-
lat0rs who voted for the bills.
odst Church and the Summit-avenue
Baptist Church also adopted resolutions
denOuncing the race track bills and the
persons who voted for them.

Will Ask for q Commission to Visit the
Islands Before Annexing Them.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-Mr. Paul Neu.
mann. the envoy of Queen LilIuokalani &c
Washington, to-day expressed his convio-
tion that the treaty of annexation made
with the commissioners of the provisional
government was practically defeated. He
said that the Senate would be ssked this
week to appoint commission to visit the
islands and investigate the condition OF
affairs there. If this were done. he said
the Senate and the country would learn
the conditions under which the people Of
Hawaii would almost unanimously support
q movement for the annexation of the
islands, If it were then determined that
that was the best thing for both countries.
The present treaty, Mr.. Neumann said, gave
the people of Hawaii practically nothing.
md the offer of the islands came from @
body of men who had nothing to give. He
asserted that the Queen had not been de-
posed. but had simply retired TO her pri.
vate residence In order to avoid q conflics
with United States troops. He asserted
that Minister Stevens had been compelled
to raise the United States flag over the
government buildingsin IN Honolulu TO pro-
teot the provisional government from it's
OVID partisans. Having established the
protectOrate, however, Mr.. Neumann said
Minister Stevens should have been amply
supported by his government Personally,
he hoped the protcctorate would be main
tanned until the future course of the island
was settled.
Mr.. Neumann criticised the action of Mr..
Davies in starting to the United States
with tho Princess Kaiulani and his re.
ported proposition to Minister Lincoln IN
London to accept United States proteo-
torate over the islands, with the Princess
on the throne with q regency for three

and If she ever is qualified to reign IL will
be then. Mr.. Davies acted, believe, with.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga report that
serious opposition TO the governments Of
Heureaux has arisen In the republic OF
San Domingo causes no surprise in Wash
