MILAN, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Saturday
night Tom Butler, countryman came
to Medon, and while intoxicated, fell
asleep on the depot platform. When
be awoke $50 was missing from his
pocket. A negro tramp, named Lewis
Newbern, was seen with the money,
and Tuesday night was taken out by u
mob and given fifty lashes but refused
to surrender the money. About mid
night Newbern crawled to the depot
and begged to be admitted, He was
hidden in the freight room by the
operator At . o'clock mob, COM
posed of the country friends of Butler,
made a demand upon the operator,
Paul Pearce, TO deliver up the negro.
Pearce refused and warned them not to
attempt violence. The door was then
burst in. Pearce fred several shots,
bat was made q prisoner to prevent in
reference. The negro was jerked from
his hiding place, but slipped from his
captors, and grasping bar of iron,
fought desperately for his life. Almost
beaten into Inconsistencies he was
carried into the bottoms near the de-
pot, q rope adjusted, and the defiant
negro was swung from limb. He was
let down and again asked to give up
the money, but bitterly cursed the mob
and told them to do their worst. Again
he was swung up and two bullets were
fired into his qivering flesh. He was
then cut down and left for dead. The
mutilated body lay for two hours, when
Newborn recovered consciousness and
crawled to 4 cabin near the scene,
where he remained during the night,
and is either in hiding among tho ne
grocs or has persisted. The rope had
cut n cash in his throat from which the
blood spurted in streams. The people
of the village were unaware ofthe trag
edy until yesterday morning.

TIE WEATHER AND THE RIVER.

THE WEATHER AND THE RIVER
The mild weather continues and but for
the slushy condition ofthe streets, made
so by the melting OF the snow and ice,
out of door occupations and exercise
would be enjoyable. The mercury last
night dropped below the freezing point
but at 8 O'Clock to-day it had risen to
forty-eight degrees.
The condition of the river continues
practically unchanged though the mild
weather and the suns rays are some
what softening the ice which for so
long has covered its surface. To-daya
young man rode on the ice from Wash
ington to this city on his bicycle, Com
missioner Douglass said yesterday that
the Alexandria tugs would not be put
TO work in the Potomac until the ice
was so entirely out of the Chesapeake
bay as to give the river ice a chance to
get away after it shall have been brok-
en-. The tugs, the Harlow and Templar,
are still in Baltimore. The Harlow will
be fitted with an ice pillow and the pillow
of the Templar, which has been dam,
aged, will be rebuild. 1t is expected
that if the present mild weather con-
tinues they will leave Baltimore about
Sunday and commence their work CT
breaking track in the Potomac.
There is not the slightest present prob,
ability of a food in the Potomac, and
none will take place except under de-
cided change of conditions, which are
not now in sight.

build q wagon road bridge ut the most
suitable point for public travel. >
