TYLER, TEN, October 30.-For the Sc
cond time IN the history of the Lone
Star State. a negro paid the penalty OF
the brutal crime against white woman
by being burned at the stake.
Henry Hlliard. the negro who assaulted,
killed and horribly mutilated Mrs. Le-

prosperous farmer, was taken from the

Immenes crowds of ladies and children
had congregated. and awnings carriages,
trees and adjacent buildings were con-
verted into grandstands.
At i:30 a scaffold was erected In the
centre of the square, and wagons laden
with kindling-wood, coal-oil. and straw
were driven to the scene and placed in
position. The negro was then given arr
opportunity 10 speak, but his words were
inaudibe. He was told TO pray. He num-
bled some inarticulate words at
first. but towards the close his voice be-
came stronger and his appeals to
Heaven for mercy could be plainly heard
several yards away
After he had finished his prayer four
men stepped forward and dashed him tHii-
liard) TO an iron rail that extended
through the platform. Mr.. Bell. the
husband of the murdered woman, was
in front of the scaffold, and watched the
preparations with eager anticipation.
When the negro had been securely bound
TO the iron rail. Bell applied a match TO
the funeral pyre which had been built
and flames shot upward, enveloping the
victim in sheets OF fire. He begged for
mercy, but his appeals were met by tor
ture, and he was not permitted even TO
burn at once.
The fire was frequently quenched, and,
after lapse of few moments. started

at an end. and he begged TO be released,
but in answer TO his appeals man
would run forward and again apply the
torch Whenever this was done those
near the funeral pyre would cheer.
Hundreds OF negroes witnessed the exc
cution. and representative negroes ex-
pressed their endorsement Of the pun
ishment.
The officers were powerless. The Sheriff
wired the Governor but his message was
too late. All the business-houses were
closed. all the factories suspended work,
and the big Cotton Belt railway shops

have been 50, was found floating In the

sion 10 the Court of Claims.

tice of the officers TO send another. but
he would do so II required by the Comp
troller

They also made application for certif-
cation OF the claim OF Andrew n. Gay
for the sum Of sS.57s. for bounty claimed
on sugar produced between August %.
1894. and June 30. 1895. for payment OF
which class OF claims 100000 was ap-
proprlated. The Auditor refused TO audit
the claim for the reason that II was
the only one OF the class that had been
received by him from the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue. and the circular Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury. dated June
is 1875. directed that these claims be pro-
rated. and the $4,000 divided among
all proved claims. The claims filed with
the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
amount TO 500 in number. and SILL ,J5 In
amount. and only sixty have been ex-
amined by that officer. Until all are 'ex-
amined the Auditor would not know
what sum 10 direct 10 be paid.
The section of the Treasury regulations
bearing on this subject reads: mo
bounty will be paid on sugar produced
In the period beginning August 2S 1894.
and ending June 80. 1895. unless all claims
for bounty thereon have been filed and
adjusted i'm the office of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. If the sum appro-
priated for that purpose is not sufficient
10 pay bounty at the rate of the $40 OF
a cent a pound on the claims adjusted.
the same will be prorated among the
claimants entitled thereto
They also made application for the GER
tlhcation of the claim of the Realty Com
pany. As this claim was presented to
the Fifth Auditor and certified 10 the
First Comptroller prior to October |. 1891,
the Auditor for the Treasury Is without
jurisdiction The result OF Baldwin's ac-
ton in all the cases in which application
was made 10 him Is TO leave all the
sugar-tounty cases in exactly the same
position they were left by Comptroller
Bowier-viz, that until the legality OF
the last congressional appropriation for
the payment of sugar bounty shall be de-
termined by a competent judicial tribunal
he will refuse to certify the claims for
payment.
