THE MARCHING OF THAT PREACHER.
Trial of Four Alleged Participants Ends in Ac-
 ouittaI-Trouble Was Anticipated.

rouDle was Anuclpdten.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 2O.--A special to the Times Union from Lake City, Fla, says:
 The preliminary trial of John Walker, J. w. Rhodan, colored, w. D. Pagett and Thomas Phillips, white men, charged with lynching the negro preacher, Rob- ert Bennett, on July took place here to- day. There was little evidence against the accused and they were discharged. About fifty white men, friends of the accused, came to town heavily armed to see that the negroes did not attempt to harm them. So much excitement was caused by the rumor that car load of negroes was coming from Jacksonville to lynch the prisoners that the mayor orr dered all the saloons closed. There were many negroes in town, but they made no demonstration and the anticipated trouble did not materialize.
 Preacher Bennett was lynched for an attempted assault on the little daughter of w. B. Pagett. Five hundred dollars re- ward has been offered by Governor Mitchell for the arrest and conviction of the lynchers, but it is not thought the state will ever have to pay it.

whole inquiry is farce. Public feeling among Europeans in Shanghai is strong ly inclined towards the conviction that British Minister O'Conner should de- mand from China an independent inqui- ry by the consuls without delay and that also a powerful escort of British troops should be immediately dispatched to Kucheng to protect and assist them.

RATHER MYSTERIOUS DEATH
James de Long Dies Of Poisoning at the
Russ House
1t Is Not Known Whether or Not He Took the
Drng With Suicidal In n.ent-The
Coroner to Investigate

James de Long, a cabinet maker. died
at the Russ house last night about S:30
O'Clock under rather mysterious Cir
cumstances.
1t was about 6 o'clock when Mrs. Theru,
the cham bermaid, reported to the clerk
that she could not clean De Long s
room as he still was in bed. Tom Jones,
the clerk, went to the room and asked the
inmate If he was sick. De Long was un-
dressed and in bed and WAS breathing
very heavily. He replied that he felt
badly and arose and went over by the
window. Jones suggested that y physi-
clan be called to relieve the sick man
from his evident pain. Jones then went
for the doctor.
Shortly after this the other roomers
about the house heard groaning and hur-
rled to De Longs room. He was found to
be writhing upon the bed, apparently in
great agony. James Garvin was the first
to enter, and he rendered the sick man all
the assistance possible. De Long seemed
to suffer from severe pains in his stoma zach.
DR.. o. Brien arrived within a short time
and worked upon the man for about an
hour, but without success, as De Long
breathed his last at $50 o'clock
A search of the room was made but no
poisonous articles were found. DR..
O'Brien said that DeLong had apparently
died from the effects of poisoning, and
ordered the matter reported to the cor
oner for investigation. The remains were
removed to the undertaking parlors of
Cussen & Cunningham.
The deceased was a man of about mid
die age and native of Kansas. He owned
a shop on Main street, but until recently
had been employed as carpenter by the
Southern Pacific company. His wife is
an invalid and is at present at Anaheim.

Outing-Events in Detail ~

The people of this part of Southern Cals
ifornia are showing intense interest in
the great cricket match which comes OF
at Athletic park this afternoon at p. m.
Last night word was received in this
city that number OF excursionists were
coming from the surrounding towns, and
the promoters of the game expect large
crowd to turn out and witness this highly
interesting and exciting game Of cricket
between the English cricket team and the
American ball players.
The Euglishmen aie confident that they
can upnold their reputation as first class
and undefeated cricketers, and the ball
players put on knowing smile as they
tell their friends how they are going to
take their English adversares into camp.
The Englishmen have great advantage
in their tn orough knowledge OF the game,
but the American boys think that this ad.
vantage will be easily overcome by their
ability as tielders and batsmen, and they
have succeeded IN signing two good bowl
ers, who will. no doubt puzzle the keen.
eyed gentlemen from across the Atlantic.
The game is the outcome of challenge
issued ny the English team, and this
challenge was accepted by Mr.. Frank
Clauser on behalf of his celebrated
, Francis Wilson baseb team.
The American boys have been practic
ing for some time, and know the.gams
pretty well, The Englishmen are too
we'll known to need special mention taken
all in all, highly interesting game may
be expected.

FAVORABLE HOME TESTIMONY.

- O4eh oi]I AiOIkE lmON L
This may be the first time you have
read our advertisement, or perhaps you
have not taken interest enough in the
property to make an investigation as'' to
the advisability of buying one or more
lots in this new townsite, in which 1--WE
have already sold great many lots. To
these who are unacquainted with the
many natural advantages of I'll Moro, and
particularly TO those who rely upon the
Judgment of others in the purchase of real
estate it will be interesting to note what
has been said ana done by one of the
best known citizens of Los Angeles. Mr..
Conrad Scheerer, the contractor of 237
West First street, shrewd man of busi-
ness. and we'll posted in regard to what
IS likely to prove beneficial and of per-
manent advantage to any new town,
writes as follows:
~ am thoroughly familiar with"
Moro Bay. and believe the new''
''town Of Ell Moro a good invest
"ment. / have purchased six lots''
''there. and feel confident of a big''
'return from them, as Ell Moro
'has everything in its favor-a''
fine land-locked bay, tw) news
.'railroads coming. and a rich,"
fertile country around it,"
Respectfully yours
Conrad Sheerer."
The railroads here mentioned are the
San Luis and San Joaquin, and the
Southern Pacific. The latter com pany as
is well known. are now busily engaged in
the completion of their new scenic shore
line. only about 30 miles now remaining
to be finished. This necessarily must be
first accomplished before attention can be
given to any lateral branches. Some
time ago articles Of incorporation were FL
ed by the FL Moro railroad company.
whose purpose is to construct line of
railroad from Ell Moro to connect with the
Southern Pacific at the station of Goldtree,
an estimated distance of only six miles.
When people realize how great an advance
In values Will follow the opening of this
new through line of the Southern Pacific
they will eagerly buy real estate of all
kinds in that vicinity. and the town of
I'll Moro will feel the impetus. The stock
holders of the Hotel Ell Moro company
are preparing for the expected travel
which will soon follow. and have decided
uponiplans for their hotel which will be
built on the magnificent site of eight
acies donated 20 them by the Moro Bay I'm
provsment company. As a summer resort
Ell Moro has no equal. The calm, un-
ruffied waters of its land locked bay are
there peing no danger whatever. The po-
sition Of the townsite itself, lying Is to
20 feet above ocean level, is all that
can be desired, the uniform gentle grade
afsording most excellent drainage.
Possessing all these advantages, and
having harbor capable of being develop
ed and improved so that it's accommoda-
tion for shipping will be unsurpassed, El
Moro can confidently appeal to the
careful investor as being
SAFE, SECURE AND SURE.
Lots in Ell Moro are now on sale for $75
