ROANOKE, VA, May 2S.-(Special)-
The Richmonds met with an unexpected
defeat to-day. They had sailed along with
the comfortable lead OF two runs until
the eighth inning, and as the Magicians
were not hitting Tannehill with any de-
gree Of safety II seemed to bo a foregone
conclusion that Roanoke would lose The
spectators had accepted this view Of the
situation, and many Of them left the
grounds, when the earthquake happened.
Breen was the first man up in the eighth.
He had been to the bat twice previous to
this. and had struck out each time. To
vary the monotony Of the thing Tannehill
sent him TO first on four bad balls. Lloyd
and Stahl struck out, and Breen was still
anchored at first. Sherer sent a long fly
to right, which Dinsmore misjudged, the
batter taking second and Breen scoring.
Padden followed with scorching single,
and Sherer crossed the rubber with the
tying run. Padden stole second when
Houseman dropped Little's hy back OF
second base. Little went to second on the
throw in TO catch Padden. and came home
on Bradleys single. The latter took Sc

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Mother Kills Her Sixteen sar-Old
Daughter and Herself.
THE WEAPON A RAZOR.
IL Is Thought the Murderess and
Suicide Was Insane-Her Chiiu
Fought Hard TO Save Her Lie
Chastity Evidences.

BALTIMORE. ND, May 2S.-Lying In
pools OF blood in the second-story front
room OF No. 1T13 Asquith street, this az
ternoon, were found the bodies OF Mrs.
Marion ]. Curtain, aged 10, and her III
year-old daughter, Mamie. In the HANDS
OF the mother was a razor, fresh with the
life-blood OF both. The elder woman had
killed her daughter and committed sui
eide with the same instrument.
Mrs. Curtain and her daughter lived
at No. leo north Bond street. To-day they
visited Mrs. Emma King, the elder daugh-
ter OF the murderess, and, in her absence
from the house the shocking tragedy
was committed. Upon her return from
an errand that had occupied only few
minutes Mrs. King found her mother and
sister stretched on the aoor. while the
apartment resembled a slaughter-house.
Blood was everywhere.
The CHASTITY discovery drove Mrs. King
into the street, shrieking with fright and
horror. A crowd soon gathered and ply
sicians were hurriedly summoned. IL
was then discovered that mother and
daughter were growing cold in death
The neck of the girl, Mamie, was slashed
from ear to ear. Several other deep
gashes were found on her neck.
FOUGHT FOR HER LIFE.
The condition Of the room. with It's
overturned furniture and bloodstains, in
dicated that the girl had fought hard for
her life. II is supposed that Mrs. Cur
tain cut her own throat Immediately after
she murdered her child. The girl was
lying on the floor with her hands at her
throat, and with every indication of hav-
ing died in fearful agony.
Mrs. Curtains head was resting against
the leg of a bed. One vigorous slash OF
the razor had been sent to put an end
to her life. Her face wore its customary
look of sadness.
Mrs. Curtains husband, who was a sa-
loon-keeper on Central avenue. died about
three years ago. and she had brooded
over his death ever since. on several
occasions she had threatened TO do her
self harm, and her relatives were con-
templating placing her in an asylum TO
be treated for insanity.

LYNCHING IN MARYLAND.
Negro Murderer Taken from Jail
aud HnnEed-IIis Crime.

BALTIMORE, MD. May 2S.-Jacob Hen
son, the young colored man recently tried
and convicted in the Howard County
Court and sentenced to be hanged June
7th, was taken from the Ellicott City jail
early this morning and hanged to the limb
of a dogwood tree. The lynching W..
the work OF about twenty determined
men, who thus avenged the murder OF
Daniel +. Shea. which was one OF the
most brutal crimes ever committed In
Howard county.
The lynchers feared that the Governor
OF Maryland might be induced TO inter-
fere, and commute the dead mans sem
tence to life-imprisonment. The grounds
for this apprehension came from recent
repeated visits to the Jail of specialists
in mental diseases TO inquire into Hen
sons sanity, and n reported intention Of
Governor Brown himself to go out there
for the same purpose. The belief has
been growing that Henson's sentence
might be commuted. and he be spirited
away TO the Baltimore penitentiary. The
effect of this belief is found in a placard
which was left pinned TO the breast OF
the lyncbed negro, on which was written:
1--WE respect our courts and Judges. Gov
ernor Brown forced law-abiding citizens
to carry out the verdict of the jury.
CSigned) White Caps"
Shortly after midnight when the city
was wrapped IN slumber, masked men
began to assemble by twos and threes,
and soon surrounded the jail. The jailer
was then arous d with the statement,
1--WE have come for Henson" Admittance
was refused, but the office-door was
quickly battered down with iron sledges.
The noise did not arouse the prisoner in
his CELL nor was he awakened until the
lock on his door gave way under the
blows of a sledge-hammer.
As the lynchers rushed In he shrieked
for mercy. IL was useless. A rope was
thrown over the negro's head, and. more
dead than alive from fright, he was
dragged from the cell. He alternately
prayed and cursed as he was dragged
down the Jail steps.
Warden Lilly was out Of town. but hts
family begged the lynchers not 10 hang
the culprit in the jall-yard. He was bound
and gagged. taken to Merrick's Lane, the
rope was thrown over the limb of dog
wood tree there was a final shrek, end
ing in a CHASTITY rattle, and the tragedy
was over.
Mr.. Shea was murdered for his money
I'm his little Ellicott-City sore on the
night OF Tuesday. February 18th. Hen
son was In his employ. and had been
treated with great kindness. He confessed,
and his conviction took place at the
March term of court. He confessed to
having struck his victim with Ratchet.
and then hacked the head OF Mr.. Shea as
ne lay in a corner Twenty-Five distinct
gashes were counted when the murdered
man was prepared for burial.

DEBs GIVES HIMSELF UP.
He and His Confreres Ready to Go
10 Jail.

CHICAGO. May 2S-Eugene V. Debs,
who arrived in this city from Terre Haute
this morning, called on United States
Marshal Arnold this afternoon and de-
livered himself into the custody Of the
Marshal The later told him he did not
expect the mandate from Washington for
a week or more, and until he received II
the men were at liberty on their bonds.
Mr.. Debs then left with the Marshal
his itinerary In Minnesota and North
Dakota for the next ten days, so that he
might be telegraphed when needed.
Il have written all of the others out of
the city," said Mr.. Debs. "and IT Is our
purpose to come in a body and surrender
ourselves and 20 back to Woodstock
jail"
Mr. Debs has but one more week OF
freedom.
President Debs. speaking last night Of
the decision OF the United States Supreme
Court in the contempt case, stated that
from the synopsis Of the decision which
he had seen he had concluded that the
court did not pass upon the merits OF the
case itself. II a circuit judge is enabled
10 prosecute. try, and pass sentence In
cases of this kind, ii constitutes every
Federal judge a car. with unlimited
power TO infiict punishment on citizen.
without regard to the trial by jury which
rs vouchsafed by the Constitution. He
thought the decision virtually an order
for non-resistance on the part OF en-
ployees
