The Butchering of the Negroes to
Be Thoroughly Investigated.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 4.-Crim-
inal Court Judge J.. p. Cooper left
for Nashville at midnight where
he will meet Gov. Turney and per-
sonally lay the facts connected
with the lynching of the six al
legged negro barn burners near Mil
lingtOn, Tenn, before the governor
and urged that a large reward be
offered for the lynchers. The
grand jury took up the lynching
today and several indict ments are
expected tomorrow.
At a meeting of the magistrates
of Shelby county resolutions were
adopted denouncing the lynching
and demanding that the lynchers
be brought to jus tice. The whole
city is aroused over the butchery
of the negroes and scores of lead
ing citizens are petitiOning the
governor to offer rewards for the
members of the mob.

FIRE REFUGEES.
Scene in Minnesota After the Great
Forest Flames.

FOresI VldLleS.
PINECITY, Mimi, ept.4.-Every
other person met on the streets
here bears visible evidence of the
conflict with fire. Refugees from
other towns, in an especially sad
condition, are flocking in, lacking
everything that goes to make life
pleasant. Hundreds occupy tents
provided by charitable people.
Girnstone Lake, ten miles from
Hinckley, a great camping ground,
had more than the usual number,
but it is learned that though their
camp outfits were destroyed, no
lives were lost, as every one Of
them threw themselves into the
lake and escaped the flames.
Eleven settlers, including women
and a babe, padded out in a canoe
on the lake, but every one were
drowned by the capsizing OF the
craft.
At the hospital here Mrs. Thos.
Henderson told today of the burn
ing OF her two boys, one In a cellar
and the other in a culvert, their
shelters burning owe them.
w. A. Greenfield, with his wife
and five children, also fled to the
cellar. The house burned and all
the children persisted, the wife
was fatally and the husband bad
ly burned. All these lived near
Hinckley.
So thoroughly have all arrange
ments been made for the relief Of
the sufferers around Hinckley that
everything moves without a hitch.
Medical supplies, provisions, cloth
ing, bedding and other supplies
poured In from all parts of the
state, and are sent from
here to the places where
most needed. Regular soldiers
from Fort Smelling have been OF
great help with tents and their po-
lice work. General Bunker, who
represents the governor, and Fl. II.
Heart, of the state board OF chart
ty, are also on hand. All the in
iured have been brought to the
hospital and medicine supplies
given the medical men in charge.
Halls and public buildings are be-
ing used as hospitals. The great
est trouble has been with the eyes,
smoke having almost blinded
MANY of the fire victims, and burns
being much less frequently met
with. The heat vas so intense
eyeballs nearly shriyeled in many
cases.

THRILLING DESCENT.
A Man Falls With His Parachute
5000 Feet.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Sept. "A
most thrilling affair took place
during the Labor Day exercises at
Centlivre Park. AS H. NJ. Will
liams, of Sturgess, Mich, was en-
gagged to make a parachute descent
the balloon filled with hot air, as
cended to over 5000 feet, with will
liams on the trapeze. According
to the program he slid down a rope
200 feet before pulling the line to
release the parachute when to the
horror of the immense crowd
it failed to open. Williams
could be seen attempting to
climb hand over hand up
the rope to get at the parachute
when the balloon began to descend
rapidly and landed in a heavy
grove. Williams was bruised some
but not seriously injured. The
line became wrapped around the
trapeze bar and he could lot loosen
it. He says he experienced intense
agony until he landed on the tree
top as he feared the balloon from
his weight being on one side OF it
would turn over and drop to the
ground,

PNEUMATIC GUNS.

The Officers Afraid to Test Them.
NEWARK, n. j., Sept. 4.--Thc
final test of the pneumatic guns
which are mounted on the proving
grounds here took place today.
The trial which was under the
supervision of the ordinance board
comprising Major Phipps, Captain
Heath and Captain CrOsier was for
the purpose of determining the en-
durance of the air Compressors to
furnish air for the required number
Of shots. The tests exceeded the
contract requirements, as all the
previous trials have done. In the
contract it was stipulated that
the three guns should deliver in
the capacity test 80 shots per hour
for the first hour, 80 for the second
| and 80 for the third. In the trial
the guns gave 30 shots for the first
hour, 30 for the second and 30 for
| the third. No ~projectiles were fired
from the guns as the tests were
merely for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning how rapidly the mechan-
ism of the pieces could be worked.
The result the expert says
would have been the same
had the loaded shells been
expended. The trials yet to
come before final acceptance or for
the S-inch gun, which piece must
illustrate the accuracy with which
| it can throw a shell laden with lOC
pounds of nitro gelatine at a range
of 2600 yards. The board Of army
| experts will visit Sandy Hook
every day until perfectly clear
weather admits safe trial of the
| pieces. When the atmosphere is al
all hazy the officers are afraid to
| make the test Of the gun with load
ed shell, as it might result in a
serious casualty to some mist
| screened vessel.

Whisky Trust TO Fight.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. Al the
Whisky Trust intends to oppose
the collection Of the increased rev.
enue tax on whisky no information
has been given to the government
office. Collector MiZe says that he
heard a rumor that the whisky
men would go into the courts and
make an effort to have the new
tariff law in so far as it relates to
the tax on whisky declared I'M
constitutional. The rumor was
brought from Peoria by seve-
raj of Mr.. Mize's deputies.
"Nothing has been heard by this
office" said the collector, "to indi-
cate that the distillers will oppose
the tax. 1t is difficult to e what
they could gain by having the law
declared invalid. On the other
hand should the law fail, they
would LOSE the extension of the
bonded period from three to eight
years.

Two performances were given during

other during the evening. Both passed off
successfully, with the exception of a
slight hitch here and there, which in
variably came in the shape OF an accident.
D. G. SellDan, an artilleryman from the

The contest in which the sword is

won by o. Davis, also. the score standing

interest among the audience, which re-
peatedly applauded the efforts OF the agile
contestants.
Professor Tronchet and lady pupil gave
an interesting fencing exhibition during
the evening, the result being, as usual
with the tactics OF circus races, "the lady

The battle of Wounded Knee and the
grand tableaux depicting Clusters Last

DOING A BIG TRADE.
Men Who Steal Goods From Express
and Delivery Wagons.

Numerous complaints havs recently been
made at police headquarters of thieves
who have been making it a practice to steal
a rticles from express and delivery wagons.
Yesterday afternoon Detectives Cody
and Anthony were fortunate in catching
one oil the thieves in the act of sneakng a
case of eggs from an express wagon. They
promptly arrested him and took him to the
City Prison, where he gave the name of
William Johnston.
The police believe there is a gang of
hIeves organized to do such work, and
where and to whom they dispose of their
plumber will be ascertained if at all posi-
BILE. The total amount of their stealings
is considerable.
A particularly daring case occurred
about week ago. The delivery wagon of
Peter j. Pendergast. grocer, ZIG Van Ness
avenue, had been filled with all sorts of
provisions and was standing in front of
the store while the driver was inside re-
celvng his final instructions. When he
came out the horse and wagon had disap-
peared. The police were notified and next
day the horse and wagon were found at
the Potrero, but the wagon had been
