ister, who bore a basin with water and tow
els. The poor men, who were brought from
the county almshouse, were ranged within

people. They were attired in their every

HoLLIDAYsBURe, March 25-There was
a tragic sequel to a baptism here to-day.
Despite the piercing cold weather, 2,5OO
people assembled on the banks ofthe Juniata
river to witness the baptism of p converts
to the Church of God. The spectators shud-
dered in the biting winds, and shivered
sympathetically as the subjects for baptism
went down into the cold water and came up
dripping in the blasts tia: suggested the
coming of snowstorm.
The imDersions we're finished, and the
converts were crowded into carriages to be
hurried away. One heavily loaded hack
broke down, harlinR the passengers into the
roadway. Several were injured, and Miss

Tortured an Old Woman.

A shocking outrage wos committed at
Johnstown, Wednesday night, when rob-
bers, lured by the hope of finding boarded
gold. tortured Mrs. Barclay Hoy in terri
BILE manner. She was hanged, burned and
meltreated so frightfnlly that she may not
recover.
Mrs. Hoy is widow 50 years old and lives
in what is known as an oklahoma house,
one of the small structures erected for tenn
porary purposes, just after the flood. The
belief has generally existed that she was
misery and that she had concealed about
the premises a considerable sum of money.
It was for the purpose of robbery ths.
four masked men broke into her house after
midnight.
They went to the old woman's bed and
told her their mission. She said she had no
money, and could give them none. En- rag
ed at her reply, the Williams pulled her from
bed, and securing a rope. said they would
hang her if she refused to reveal the where
abouts of her money. In vain she pleaded
fer mercy. First completely disrobing her,
they hanged her by the neck until she was
almost strangled- Then they held lighted
candle under her feet. But even this cruel
torture failed to wiring from her the hiding
place of her treasure. if such she has.
Then the robbers subjected their victim to
the most brutal indignities.
They ripped to pieces all her clothing in
the hope of finding money sewed in the
seams. They finally found 20 cents and de-
parted, leaving Mrs. Hoy in an extremely
critical condition. The flesh on her feet was
burned to the bone, and the hanging pro-
duced serious injury.
The police have not yet made any arrests.

Is behalf of the law-abiding citizens
of Monroe county, the editor OF the
stroudsburg JefTsosian rePudiates the
recent lynching in that place in the fol-
lowing vigorous language:
Stroudsburg for over half century
has been our home and during that time
it has been our pleasure to approve and
rejoice in many Of her completed enter
prises: and no act Of hens has ever made
us ashamed Of our adopted home until
last Thursday morning, when few hot
headed youths and weak-minded men
unwittingly inaugurated the Southern
and border civilization in our midst. The
announcement Of the fact was impulsive
and paralyzing to every moral impulse OF
our best citizens. Had the prisoner been
shot down while endeayoring to escape
no protest would have been made
@The negro and his executioners alike
violated the fundamental principle Of
government and law. The negro viOlat-
ed II for the sake Of money, while his
self-appointed executioneIs violated 1t
for vengeance. If they both were allow
ed 10 have their way anarchy would be
inaugurated and law become a football
to be kicked at will. There was no
shadow Of justifying excuse for this
shameful and blistering crime against
our civilization and the good repute of
our borough. The negro was captured,
and bis legal punishment was as sure as
fate. The laxity at the Jail, which result
ed in his temporary escape, would have
resolved itself into ten-fold vigilance and
security in the future. The lynebers
must father their wicked and mad crime.
Stroudsburg does not approve Of such
barbarism. Her head and heart con-
denim it from beginning TO end. This
community viii have no part nor lot in
it. Those who committed the crime
must answer for it both to public opin-
ion and to the law. 1t is their affair
alone. This town washes its hands oft
The lynchers must take all the glory the
lawless element will temporarily accord.
and all the shame and dishonor our best
citizens and law-abiding community viii
