a MOSS VENGEANCE
Wrsaked Upon q Negro Who May Have
Been innocent OF Crime.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., April 25-John Peter
son, colored, was lynohed at Denmark last
night by a mob Of 800 infuriated country
men. This IL tho elimination Of an as
sault upon young Miss Bessie Baxter last
week by an unknown negro.
Judge LyLeh's court has been In session
several days trying suspected persons
Peterson has been followed through the
country to Columbia and arrived here
Saturday and claimed Governor Tillman's
protection. Yesterday the governor sent
him to Denmark to be tried The mob,
however, would not have It, although
Peterson claimed to have witnesses who
could prove an alibi for him.
Judge Lynch's court duly assembled and
Peterson was carried before Miss Baxter.
He never dinched. Miss Baxter declared
he was not the man. The crowd was dis
appointed at this declaration and eagerly
seized on other points to his advantage
A negro woman who Is said to have been
angry with Peterson. testified adversely to
him, and Miss Baxter's father came In, de-
claring that his daughter was In such con-
dition she could not recognize him.
The crowd then grew wild, aud at 10
o'clock last night they took Peterson,
strung him to . tree and riddled him with
bullets. There appears to be no doubt
that Peterson was innocent.
Governor Tillman's action In sending
Peterson to the mob II drawing universal
condemnation on him.

"RESCUER' RESCUED.
Trouble at Brother Har.
kinS' Mission.
HARKINS IS ARRESTED
But CLOVIS Brown Comes to His "Res.
cue" With Bail.

There was trouble at the Rescue Mission
yesterday afternoon and the usual course
of things were changed.
Instead of Mr.. Harkins having someone
arrested John was placed In durance vile
himself and for a couple of hours was the
guest of Captain Rhodes at Hotel De
Perry, rue North Nam.
The story OF the arrest is that Saturday
afternoon Melvin Sherman called on Mr..
Harkins and requested him to liquidate a
claim held by Sherman against HIM or, In
other words, TO settle a long standing
bill.
Harkins objected strongly, not only by
word OF mouth, but by force of arms. He
told Sherman that his presence was not
desired and upon his departure there was
no restraint, that his room was far prefer
able to his company ana not to stand on
the order of going, but 20 go at once.
Sherman did not go fast enough and Har-
kins proceeded to assist him with more or
less success.
The result was that Sherman swore out
a warrant for Harkins' arrest, charging
him with assault.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Ray
q. Huiing and Special Constable Arthur
Sherman, brother Of Melvin, both of Lin
coin, appeared before Brother Harkins at
his Rescue Mission and Sheriff Huling
told him that he had a warrant for his
arrest. Harkins refused to go and ordered
Sherman out.
Sherman In turn refused to go and IL
was "stand on" Harkins then sent for
Officer Lee and requested him to put Sher.
man out, saying that he was drunk and
was also smoking which was objectiona-
BILE to the ladies present.
Officer Lee saw that Sherman was
neither drunk nor smoking and refused
to put him out, telling Harkins that they
had a warrant for his arrest and that bot h
Huling and Sherman were officers and
that he bad better go along quietly.
This made Harkins mad and he threat
ened to make 1t hot for Officer Lee and
Chief. The answer came back from the
| station that II Officer Lee would not they
did not think 1t necessary for them To
take part as Lee knew his business.
"Well, said Harkins, turning to Officer
Lee, "if you don't Will" He rushed a,
Sherman and caught him by the throat.
Sheriff Huling and Officer Lee stopped
the row and the former took Harkins te
the station. Another warrant was then
sworn out charging Harkins with a.
saulting Arthur Sherman. In about two
hours Harkins was ARA igned, pleaded not
guilty and Clovis Bowen furnished surety
for his appearance for trial Saturday April
%.
Some people seemed to think that
Brother Harkins was justified in throwing g
the man out who came to collect bill AZ
he had sign In the window which read
"No Collection Taken Up." This has nov
disappeared 30 II is now hought Sherman
has a case, after ali.

WARRINGTON, April 25-There will be a

navy after the Worlds fair ceremonies are

Secretary Lamont has decided that a num-
Der of army officers have seen little Of their

immigrants AfaIoisd With Smallpox Allowed
10 Spread the Disease.

ST. PAUL, April 25.-An alarming con-
dition of Affairs exists In Winnipeg, which
has been carefully concealed Smallpox
patients are quarantined on the outskirts
of the city In tents and sheds. One death
has so far occurred, but all Of the 800
suspected have been exposed to the terrible
malady, and there are score of cases de-
veloping. The authorities at Winnipeg
are making determined effort to prevent
the facts being disseminated
The 800 suspects are immigrants who
reached Winnipeg . few days ago. The
first case discovered was In q family Of
Germans who came from Russia The
immigrants caught the disease while pass
ing through Belgium by being placed In
q car with smallpox patient The disease
was first Uncovered In Liverpool, where
one family was detained, but tho others
were allowed to proceed. BY the time
Montreal was reached the disease was well
developed, but still no action was taken
by the authorities.
At Port Arthur again 10 became known
that the disease was ON board the train,
snd everybody's desire seemed to be to
rush the train and the pestilence further
into the interior. There were nearly 700
people on the steamer from which the
smallpox victims came. Half of them
went to points In Ontario, New York and
the western states. II is evident that there
has been criminal negligence on the part
of Liverpool and other points

that each part is taken by one competent
to handle 1t. Miss Desne's Topsy is a
splendid production and one Of
the biggest hits OF the play is

ticularly pleasing feature of the opera Is
the fresh and pretty costumes worn bv the
coterie of young women embracing the
principals and the chorus. Besides, the
stage was prettily dressed and the "Two
vagabonds" had altogether many advan-
tages In the way of scenic establishment.

SUPPLY Of FREE GOLD.
Greatly Augmented by
Offers From Banks.
SITUATION is ENCOURAGING.
Not Likely That the Issue Of Bonds
Will Become Necessary.

WASHINGTON, April 25. Tho treasury
stock Of gold is rapidly rising The
bankers are coming rapidly to its relief.
and it is said that the supply of free gold
available is now over $iO,0oO,ooO. This re-
suit was brought about by large offerings
received from bankers who as rule took
legal tender notes In return. The largest
offerings came from Boston which,
through the associated banks, placed 81
100000 at the disposal of the treasury.
II Is understood that the New York
banks, as a result of a conference with
Treasurer Jordan, will put large amount
Of gold to the credit of the treasury, and
30 high are hopes rising that predictions
are made that by the close of the week the
treasury's gold balance will show an ex-
cess Of SO, ,00O, ,oOO above the reserve. The
western banks continue to come to the
assistance Of the government and sent
several millions yesterday.
Tho Most Gratifying Feature
OF the situation is the tender Of addition al
gold from various sources. The offers yes
terday were accompanied by the sugges-
tion that II they proved to be insufficient
further amounts would be forthcoming.
Altogether the situation il much more en-
coura9ing.
The statement of the president has had
good effect and 1t Is said that the presi-
dent Is to authorize bond issue in the
event that 1t should be demonstrated by
the occurrences OF the next few weeks to be
necessary, though II is believed the emer-
gency will pass away and the very knowl-
edge that the administration will be pre-
pared to issue bonds will avert the occa-
sion therefor.
