LYNCH LAW.
A NEGRO RAPIST PAYS THE
PENALTY OF HIS
CRIME.
HUNG UPON THE BRIDGE
AT MIDNIGHT
BY a Mob of Five Hundred Men

The people of this city and
county took the law into their own
hands Tuesday night and executed
swift justice upon the perpetrator
of the most revolving Of crimes
rape. The victim Of the crime
was a white woman and the crimi-
nal brutal negro eX-convict. The
circumstances connected with the
terrible deed are as follows:
Mrs. Martin Nolan, who lives at
Choateville, about two miles from
the city on the Devils Hollow
Pike, walked down to the city
Tuesday morning to do some
marketing and on her way home
was met on the road where ra-
vine comes down from Mrs. Will
dams place into Devils Hollow,
by a negro man who first de-
manded money Of her and when
told that she had none, seized and
dragged her into the ravine, where
he choked her until able to &C
complish his purpose and then left
her, coming toward this city. The
poor woman. with her clothing
nearly all torn off Of her, went on
home. and on the way told
a neighbor what had happened.
A messenger was sent into this
city and Immediately an armed
posse started out in search Of the
negro. She described him as
being tall yellow man. who had
on a wel-worn black derby hat,
grey-blue pants and striped shirt.
While the searching party were
still out Judg b. u. Williams was
returning from dinner on a street
Car and saw Marshall Boston, a
negro, standing at the corner OF
Shelby and Campbell streets, who
had scratches upon his hands and
the description given by
Mrs. Nolan. Getting off of the
car Judge Williams went back and
talked to the man, who did not
tell very straight story of his
whereabouts during the forenoon,
and calling Mr.. Sam. A. Parent
TO his assistance, took the negro
IN charge and brought him over
% his Office. After questioning
aim further the Judge concluded
% send Boston out for Mrs. Nolan
% say whether he was the man
Who had assaulted her or not.
Accordingly he was placed in a
,ehicle under guard and driven
,ut to her home. Judge Williams

!dvance and prepared Mrs. Nolan

Identification was complete, even
to making him open his mouth
and expose long eye tooth, upon
which she had struck him, causing
the gum to bleed. Those who
were present would have taken the
negro and hung him then and
there, but Judge Williams argued
them into desisting, stating that
the man was in the hands Of the
law and it should be allowed to
deal with him. Mr.. Nolan was
absent with party searching for
the negro along the railroad or
Boston would doubtless never have
left the place alive, but as it was he
was brought back to the city and
lodged in Jail.
Further search was made for
evidence against the negro, when
the pants he had worn that morn

with green burs, similar to those

Nolan, and an. examination Of the

A MINISTER'S STEAM LAUNCH.
preparation to Run it Reduced.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Washington, APRIL 4--There is one Off
cial Of the government in the diplomatic
service who has at his disposal very
fine steam launch in which he visits the
representatives of the country to which
he is accredited when on official business.
This launch is paid out of an appropria-
ton attached to each years diplomatic
and consular bill, but there are number
of members on the House appropriations
committee who believe that a steam
launch is luxury which the government
should not provide our ministers.
Minister Terrell, like all previous min
isters has frequently occasion to visit the
Porte to transact business with the min
lister of foreign affairs, or to protest
against some outrage upon American
missionaries. As every one knows, Con-
stantinople is composed OF number of
cities, each separated from the others by
bays and arms Of the sea. To get from
one to the other, and especially from the
resident portion eff the city, to the gov
eminent buildings, necessitates trip by
water, and as the visits are often, every
foreign legation at ConstantinOple fur
nishes its minister with a yacht or steam
launch, supported by the government for
the use of its representatives. Many of
the large powers maintain superb yachts
well equipped, and manned by the ma
tiyes.
The first American minister to secure
the privilege of having a launch was S. S.
Cox, who did not care to be pulled about
the harbor in dingy gig manned by I'M
clean Turks. He protested to the state
department and so impressed congress
that q launch was necessity in order to
keep up a respectable appearance along
with other ministers that one was pro-
vided To keep the launch in operation
cost the government not over 81 GOO a
year, but the House appropriations com
mittee thinks that one-haf this sum
should be sufficient, and have accordingly
reduced the estimates. Either the min
ister's visits to the Porte must not be so
frequent or else he must provide means
for reaching it out of his salary in order
to transact public business on the present
amount allowed by the committee.
The state department officials believe
that tho use of the launch will have TO be
abandoned entirely unless the full amount
asked for by Secretary Gresham is al
lowed .-r 4f

GREAT PLACE FOR FISHING.
You Cook Your Fish in a Crater Before
Taking Them OF the Hook.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
Representative Henderson, of Iowa,
who has reputation as an orator in the
House, wrestled yesterday with the won
derful beauties of the Yellowstone park.
1t is difficult to say which got the best of
the struggle, the congressman or the
park. AT any ratio the former gave his
colleagues good deal Of instruction and
entertainment
He told of the canon of the geysers,
which looked as if 100, 000 campfres were
burning of Hell's Half Acre. which led
Mr.. Ray to ask il it was the home of the
Democratic party; of great geyser that
spOuted for six months with tremendous
energy and was then silent for six years;

impressive spectacles, and finally of a
lake that was thirty miles long and six
miles above the level of the city of New
York
six thousand feet" interrupted Mr..
Gear, throwing the brake of prosaic fact
upon the swift-revolving wheels of Mr..
Henderson's Imagination.
"Weu," said Gen. Henderson, after he
had acknowledged that the correctness
was proper one, Il have stood on the
edge of that lake and caught trout and
thrown them over into a crater. You
can catch trout in the lake and swing
them over into the crater and boil them

| want to say to you fishermen in the
House that you can throw your line into

Gen. Henderson, as may be imagined,
was surrounded by great crowd of mem
bers while he told his tale of the Ameri-
can wonderland. There was more laugh
ter when Mr.. Adams, of Pennsylvania,
solemnly arose and announced that while
out in the park several years ago with
geological survey party he haC caught
trout in the same lake and cooked them
IN the same not water. But Mr.. Adams,
having an unstretchable conscience, would
only confess to catching one trout at a

ing the Siege OF Paris.
From the London Telegraph
Everybody conyersant with the history
of the siege of Paris by the Germans will
remember that the inhabitants of the be-
leaguered city were fed for time on the
African and Asiatic beasts and birds of
prey from the geological gardens.
There has lately been discovered a
packet Of letters which throw an inter-
esting light on this matter These docu-
ments have been deposited in the Carna-
valet museum. They were addressed by
M. Godfrey Saint-Hilaire, director Of the
Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bots de
Boulogne, to M. Deboos, n butcher on
the Boulevard Haussmann, and re-
fer to the prices which were
asked for the animals required for
the nourishment Of starving Parisians.
Zebras, bufaloes, reindeer, antelopes,
wild boars, a kangaroo, a cassowary and
a black swan were killed during the
month of October, 1870, together with
several rare ducks, pheasants and geese.
The cassowary was sold for IS and the
kangaroo for half that sum. Iu Novem-
Der an antelope fetched $40, and prices
began to ascend rapidly all round. Thus
a bear cost the butcher Deboos 900 and
esS was given for wild boar During
the Christmas period two camels from
the Garden were sold at 1900. On De-
cember 29, NJ. Deooos took over the two
elephants, which were the veritable
pieces de resistance of his foot supply.
They cost him ~ 900 francs, or 81, 080 He
soon sawed up their colossal carcassses
and sold the pieces at profit.

1t is said that the practice ofthe wifes
assuming the husbands name at mar
rage, says the Dublin Times, originated
rom Roman custom, and became COM
mon after the Roman occupation. Thus
Julla and Octavia, married to Pompey
ana Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julla OF Pompey and Octavia of Cicero,
ana IN later times married women in most
european countries signed their names in
Vne same manner. but omitted the ''of.'
Again this view may be mentioned that
during the sixteenth, and even the begin
hlhg OF the seventeenth century, the usage
seems doubtful, since we sec Catherine
Farr so signing herself after she had been

his most incredible yarns to be re-
