The consoiidated's Loss.


The Consolidated roai has lost its
sblest manager. but the Boston and
Maipe has gained by the Consolidated's
loss. Lucius Tuttle. vice-president and
general manager Of the N. Y. NJ, H. and
II. r.. r., has resigned. and has ed
the position as president Of the Boston
and Maine road. which also means the
general management of the big Bos.
ton and Maine system. As
The News predicted recently this
change was brought about by Mr.. Tut
ties old friends Ia the Maine. and he car
riss to bis new position the advantage OF
. thorough familiarity of the road
and its needs and resources. The
brainiest OF all the Consolidated's
officials, he knew enough to leave road
that could not recognize the
fact that his departure meant
serious loss TO it. Had
President Clark realized the value of his
general manager no salary that the Bos-
ton and Maine could afford 10 pay would
have been sufficient inducement for Mr..
Tuttle TO sever his connection with the
Consolidated road. but he will under
stand IN the near future what it is TO Use
brains from an Office.

cou ntry, from his long occupancy of

RIDDLED WITH SHOT.
COLUMBIA, s. c., April 25.-The excite
ment of the populace at the little vii
lage of Denmark, this state, over the
assault upon Bessie Baxter, a 15-year-
old girl, by a negro, ten days ago
eliminated at 10 o'clock Monday
night in the lynching of John
Peterson by an Infatuated mob OF
500 persons. who filed his body with
bullets while it dangled from tree.
There is every reason to believe that
Peterson was innocent and that the
mob wreaked its vengeance on the
wrong person. Peterson had been sus-
pected of the crime, was hunted by the;
country people, and came to Columbia
last Saturday and delivered himself to
the governor, asking his protection. The
governor turned him over to a
constable to be taken to Denmark and
wired a deputy to have present wit
nesses whom Peterson claimed could
establish an alibi for him. Court was
held in Senator Mayfeld's Office. Only
the representatives of the press and
about ten citizens were allowed to at
tend, two of the number being colored
men. Senator Mayfeld presided. Peter
son was handcuffed. He displayed
40 trepidation, and appeared like
an innocent man. He told a
straight story and looked fearlessly
at his questioners. When carried
before Miss Baxter she stated that he
YVES not the man. A colored woman
swore that Peterson had been in Den
mar on the morning of the assault.
The court adjourned without getting
any tangible evidence against Peterson,
the odds being greatly in his favor.
But the crowd was so frenzied that it
could not be restrained, and Monday
night Peterson was, hanged to a tree
and his body filled with bullets.

A GRAND SIGHT.
The Columbian Fleet Of Warships b An

The Columbian Fleet Of Warships b An
chored In the Hudson.
New YORK, April 26.-In the land
locked harbor of New York, when the
first rays of the morning sun drove the
hazy shadows away, was shielded safe
" the great Columbian feet, compris-
ing the magnificent grim warships Of
10 European powers, joined with the
cream of the United States.
It was shortly after 9 o'clock when
Admiral Gherardi's flagship gave the
preliminary signal to break anchor and
fall into line. They started up the har-
Dor in two columns, the port led by the
Philadelphia and the starboard column
by the British cruiser Blake. Most of
the foreign ships were in the starboard
colu.nn, nearest the New York shore.
AS the noble ship Philadelphia point
ed her way toward the city, and it was
seen that the great pageant had thus
started, tug and steamboat whistles
broke forth with screaming, and out
over the waters sounded family the
shouts of thousands who blackened the
shores of Long Island and Staten
Island. Then came the Newark, At
lanta, San Francisco and others of the
IL American vessels, followed by the
ships of Argentina, Holland and Ger
many.
The alignment of the Americans was
nearly perfect. The white ships were
800 yards apart and were initiated in
color by the three foreigners in the
column, only one, the Van Speyck,
being black. AS the port column
steamed along at 918 knots, not boat
was 10 feet out Of line, and they kept
the formation as if they had been an
chored bow and stern in a surveyors
line.
The two schools of naval architecture
for nearly all the ships in the fleet not
American built were of English con-
struction) were strongly marked, and
every patriot felt within him glow of
pride that the new navy of the United
States did not suffer by the comparison.
The ships steamed up the river until
the Philadelphia and the Blake reached
q point opposite s9th street, when the
signal to anchor was given. The rear
of the double line was opposite West
Saith street, and was held by the Man
tonomah. The Dolphin is now an.
chored off 22d street and will remain
there until the President boards her at
1880 o'clock tomorrow to review the
ships.
