HANGED -FOUR.
The Charleston BHurderers go to
Their Death.

CHEsTERTowN, Md, Jan. 13.-Con-
trary to what was generally expected,
Chestertown, outside the Jail precincts,
passed quiet night. The streets of the
town were almost entirely deserted ex-
cept by the posse summoned by the
sheriff. These guards, in twos and
threes, and armed with guns and.pstols
dating from the hintlocks used in the
Revolution to the modern revolvers, pa
trolled the streets all night and until the
execution took place. Business during
the morning was almost entirely sus-
sleighs filled with merry couples who did
not seem to have a thought for the four
miserable wretches confined in the damp
basement cells of the Jail.
The scene at tbs county court house,
however, was quite different from that
on the streets. The room in which the
eight men were tried, condemned and
sentenced was crowded with young and
old men armed with all kinds of wea.
pons. They had been summoned to
defend the jail should an attempt be
made to lynch the four prisoners. But
no such attempt was made and the
posse contented itself with telling what
it would do if mob should appear.
Shortly after eleven O'Clock the mem,
bers of the posse inside the jail, few re-
porters and the twenty witnesses
allowed by the law crowded into the
corridor where they were told by the
| sheriff to get ready.
The short march to the scaffold began
with Brooks first and Couregys next
| followed by William and Nose Brown
| On each side of the scaffold the men were
| placed in position, the nooses were ar
ranged about their necks. the black caps
pulled over their faces, the legs bound
and tied, and at 1890 the bar
controlling the triggers slipped easily
along the CREASED surface. There was a
crash as the trap doors fell to the ground
and the four negroes shot through th'
holes. Four of the murderers of DR.. Hill
had avenged their crime on the gallows

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Jan. 13.-A Can

a terrible disaster in a country town
about fifty miles from Canton, which oc-
Cured early last month and resulted in
the loss of nearly 1000 lives.
A baud of robbers made raid on the
village of kamli, in the Shin-Bing dis
trict. They first levied a tribute on the
priest o. the temple. The latter had just
received large offerings from the people
who were having, dramatic en-.
tertainmert under a shed temporarily
erected in front Of the temple. The rob-
bers applied torches to this shed and the
people in a panic rushed into the tenn.
pie for refuge. The main entrance of the
temple, which was of wood, caught fire
from the burning shed, and over 1 400
| men, women and children were either
! burned, smothered or trampled to death
Most of the fatalities resulted trom,,suffo.
cation. as a strong wind drove the smoke
into the temple.

AWAY BEHIND.
Few Exhlbits BEING sent to Chi
GaXO.


CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-If any one is under
the impression that exhibits are arriving
at the Worlds Fair grounds "by the
train load every day." as DirectorGen-
eral Davis recently declared, glance at
the books OF the railroad and customs
departments will rid him of the delusion.
There are no train loads, and, what is
worse, there is very little prospect of any
at present. The department chiefs blame
great deal of the delay on intending
exhibitors.
The Chicagoans are sending out circu-
lars urging the exhibitors to commence
installation at once, but the latter are
now displaying little of the obduracy
that has hitherto characterized the
Worlds Fair management. Exhibitors
declare that their goods are too perish
able to be forwarded at once, and that
nickel and plated machines will tarnish
| that silk goods will fade and that cereal.
will lose their freshness. As April 1 i.
the last day on which exhibits will b'
received, the seriousness OF the situation
can be realized.

Superintendent Freeman set about arranging
places for the schools that were left without

Mr.. Freeman says that estimates of the losS
sustained by the fire Monday night range
from 81 900 to $1,000 but his opinion is that
the latter figure is the correct one. Aside
from the damage to the building, he says the
cost Of painting and redecorating the rooms
and the damage to desks and other furniture
must be considered, and when the bills come
in after everything has been put into some
thing like the condition that existed before
the fire $1,000 will be found pretty near the
mark,

said that on the road about three hundred
yards above the Greek Catholic cemetery,
when they were on their way to town, a man
hailed them. When the stranger approached
the sleigh he asked them to give him a coat
or something else, that he was pershing with
the cold. Mr.. Luke said he had nothing he
could spare, but asked the man where he
lived. The stranger said his home was in
New Jersey and said that he had struggled
into this section of the county in search Of
work in the mines, but had failed to secure it.
The stranger was asked why he was on the
mountain and said that he had sought relief

in the sleigh, when the fellow struck him a

arms about Luke and tried to pull him back

The blow delivered by the stranger had nc
effect upon Lukes mufIled neck. 1t had
evidently been intended for the head, but iel

reins, which she did. The husband was much
stronger than the stranger and succeeded il

he did not. Mrs Luke says the affair hap

almost hysterical. The woman was very
much opposed to continuing the journey
home until this morning, but her husband
overcame her pursuasions by assuring hel
that he would not halt on the road for an
other stranger and would use his revolver OF
