Nav ORLEANS. La. June 25-Law-

suit one man has suffered death at the
hands Of mob or lynehers, another
one is dying, house burned and the
furniture demolished. There was RE
venge in the hearts of the law-abiding
citizens who no longer have faith in
the powers of the guardians of the
peace. and have taken the law into
their own hands.
At 8 o'clock yesterday evening.
gang Of rowdies appeared on the streets
and declared their intention Of lynch
ing negress named Francis Woodsen.
Night came on. however, and they dis
persed and were not seen for some
hours.
About 10 o'clock at night, the crowd.
who are said 10 be composed Of six well
known young men in the community,
went to Woodsen's house, but she.
having heard Of their threats against
her life, had left and came over to New
Orleans where she remained until yes
terday morning. The hoodlums knock
ed at the door, but as this was not
opened to them they broke open the
side gate and went into the rear yard,
subsequently gaining entrance into the
house by breaking in the kitchen door.
Once in the house, they Immediately
set to work 10 demolish furniture. A
piano was smashed to pieces: chairs
were broken into splinters, the mat
tress Of the bed torn into shreds, the
carpet on the floor torn and destroyed,
and the kitchen stove was wrecked.
After finishing their devilish work the
crowd set fire TO the building. They
then ran away, but were seen and
recognized. An alarm Of fire was
turned in and the flames were quickly
subdued. As soon as the outrage be-
came known, white citizens organized
themselves and determined to lynch the
gang. The latter eluded arrest and at
midnight committed second outrage,
when they ran across an old negro and
beat him to the point OF death.
Officer Goodlet finally caught John
Frey, young white man. and one Of
the gang, The news quickly spread
among the citizens who had gathered
in force. They intercepted the officer
and taking the prisoner from him,
lynched Frey to the nearest telegraph
pole.
Early yesterday morning three others
of the gang were arrested and it is
feared they may suffer the same fate
as Frey. Frey was son of DIR. John
Frey, who, with several other members
of his family, lost their lives in the
great storm at Chenier Camanade two
years ago.

IRON AND COAL BOON
Aqein Attracting the Attention
of the Business World
The BlROYETERS OF The INES


RIRNISeHAM. Ala, June sl-Ihere
is good cheer among the iron men Just
now The Sloss Iron and steel eompa-
nv has begun the work OF repairing
remodeling and rebuilding their No. !
furnace. on First avenue and Thlrtieth
street. preparatory TO putting II INTO
blast again in a new and improved con-
dition aud with the latest appliances.
The various contracts for the work have
been let and a large force is now at
work.
The majority of the contracts were
let TO companies and firms in Birming-
ham and most of the labor IS secured
here also.
A gentleman well versed in coal
miners affairs was seen yesterday af-
ternoon and from him 1t was learned
that the coal miners were anxiously
awaiting another advance in the pig
iron quotations when their scale would
90 up also. The price of No foundry
Is within IS cents of the notch where
their scale will be moved up ~ cents
per ton.
The mines at Blocton, where domes-
tic coal is secured, are working only
two days q week. The Blue Creek
mines are working the best OF all the
Tennessee company's coal mines. From
four to six days a week work is being
given the miners. The coal is being
used for eoking and furnaces About
three days week is the average for
the Pratt mines district.
The Slnss Iron and Steel company's
coal mines are working steadily, the
miners at Brookside, Cardiff, Brazil
and Blossburg getting from four to six
days work week. The mines at Coal
burg are being worked almost entirely
by convict labor.
The Walker county mines are run.
ming fairly well. Most Of the coal be-
ing mined in that district is for domes.
tic use. The Corona coal is finding a
little market down the Mississippi riv'
er, going down in barges. The ad'
vance in the pig iron market does no,
affect their scale directly as it does al
the mines around Birmingham, as the
coal here is used directly In the manu-
featuring OF pig.
The miners have selected delegates
to the trades council at birmingham,
and they will make their presence
known at the next meeting, Sunday af-
ternoon.
J. w. Worthington & Co., are increas
ing their forces at their Ishkooda and
Campton mines. A large gang Of ne
gro laborers were sent to both place:
yesterday afternoon, and more hands
are said to be wanted. Their ore mines
and limestone quarries are being taxed
almost to their fullest capacity to sup
ply the demand. The railroad compa
nies, It is said, are kept hustling fur
nishing cars to transport the ore ant
stone to the various furnaces. Fifty
negroes from Jacksonville, Fla, wer,
brought up the Ishkooda mines today.
From all sides comes word OF gooC
cheer TO the iron men, and this is talxer
as barometer indicating the return o.
better times in fact

BOTH MAY COME SOUTH.
Democratic and Republican National Ton
ventious May be Held In the south.

ventions May be Held In the south.
WASHINGTON, June &c. = Possibly one
or both of the great national conven-
tions will be held in the south the next
time.
Democrats and republicans are taking
lively interest in the suggestion that
the south will be especially desirable
next year as the place for holding con-
ventions. The south having by the re-
suits of the elections last year placed
itself in the list Of politically doubtful
sections OF the country many republi-
cans are considering the effect of hav-
ing the next convention held there.
Senator-elect Carter, chairman of the
national republican executive commit
tee. when in this city few days ago,
said he thought the question OF having
the rallying Of his party in the south
was one that is worthy of serious con-
sideration.
Southern democrats and republicans
claim that Atlanta, New Orleans, Nash
vile or Lexington would be able to
care for the physical comforts Of the
delegates and that no argument against
having the convention in their midst
could be made on that score.
