A NEGRO MURDERER L1NCHED.
Taken from an Ohio Jail and Strung
Up by Mob.

WINCHESTER (Ohio), Jan. 12.-About
one month ago Roscoe Porter, colored
boy, brutally murdered an old couple
named hRine, for whom he w0kked. He
knew of Rhine's receiving money, and
the murder was for robbery. After his
arrest he was taken to Portsmouth to pre-
vent lynching. Last night the Sheriff
took him to West Union, on his way to
have a preliminary examination. The
fact became known and a secret organiZa-
ton, including many prominent citizens,
numbering 100, went to West Union, bat
tered down the jail doors, took the negro
out and hanged him. and then riddled
the body with bullets.

nal Rampolla on the gloomy condition in

endeavor to ascertain whether the for

cial instructions how to act in the event
of matters assuming revolutionary as
pect. The New Year receptions enabled
Cardinal Ranpolla to broach the subject
to the ambassadors, with the result that
he learned that the Powers did not antic-
mate ANYTHING serious.

The Silver State says that it is re.
ported i'll Winnemucca that tho
Southern Pacific company refused to
carry lumber for a Truckce company
unless it discharged several A. II. u.
men who were working for it. Also
that the railroad company has declar,
"a . boycott against the Phoenix
Touring mills of Sacramento and will
not haul its product because the mills
furnished flour to the families of
strikers. 1t remains to be seen il the
laws of the land allow IL corporation
to dictate whether or not n citizen OF
the United States shall make n living,
or the power TO wreck the business OF
a firm or person who happens to in,
cur its ~displeasure. II such is the
case this is not II free country, and the
sooner we have an absolute monarchy.
with corporations crowned as king
the better.
