Nearly Three Mosths Of Racing.

likelihood OF them ever being sailed OF Bren.
tons Reef lightship so long as the New York
Nacht Club holds the cup, as both the officers
and members OF that organization feel that the
public would resent any movement looking
toward the sailing of these races in any but
home waters. Aud IL they are sailed at all IL
will be OH Sandy Hook where the international
struggle Will he decided in - ptember.
However, u was reported yesterday that there
WAS possibility that the trial races may not be
held AZ all, as II the new lSeltn boat, which Is
the only new boat IN sight go far, should prove
herself very much the superior of the NiHant

the New York Yacht CLUB spending several
Thousand dollars IN holding a special series of
trial races when cup defender had already
been settled on.
The time wasted on these races II was pnlnted

A Pair of Lovers Drowned.

At Washington City last Sunday
afternoon Irving Lyles and Miss Chase
Cantor were out rowing in the Eastern
Branch of the Potomac River, and
when the boat was off Second street
people on shore saw them standing up
in the boat and apparently quarrelling.
In few minutes the boat upset and
its occupants were struggling in the
water. 1t appears that Lyles and
Miss Cantor when they stood up in the
boat had hold of each other. Sudden
ly Miss Cantor released her grasp on
Lyles and fell or jumped into the wa
ter. Lyles followed her Immediately
as if to rescue her They struggled
together for a moment, and Miss Can
tor disappeared. Lyles caught hold
of the boat, which was large Aat-bot-
toned skiff, but despite the shouts to
hold on from the occupant Of boat
rapidly nearing them, he let 60 and
sank. 1t is believed that either Miss
Cantor dragged Lyles down with her,
or that when he realized that she was
drowned he purposely relaxed his hold
upon the boat and sank with her.
Lyles was 20 years old and Miss Can
tor about Is, and they were engaged
to be married. They were both mem
bers of the choir Of Emanuel Episcopal
Church of Anacostia, and had partici-
pated in the morning services there.

A Negroes Brutal Crime.

Mrs. Thomas Butts, the wife Of a
farmer living near Petersvil!e, Frede-
rick county, Nd, was assaulted last
Sunday morning by Frank Winter
chief, burly negro about twenty years
old. Mrs. Butts attended mass at
st. Mary's Catholic church, four miles
from her home, and was returning
when the negro, who had been follow
ing her, overlook her on the road, and
armed with a club, he seized her, threw
her to the ground and dragged her to-
ward the bushes. She screamed for
help, and by superhuman efforts threw
off her assailant and sprang to her feet.
Three times he threw her to the ground.
In the struggle he jammed his finger
up her nostrils, tearing open her
clothes and scratching and bruislng
her flesh.
Frightened before accomplishing his
purpose he sprang up and fed. Peter
Hemp and David Magaha, who heard
the screams, saw the negro running,
and started in hot pursuit. The route
lay toward the mountains, when, after
a chase of four miles, and after firing
two shots at him, the negro halted and
surrendered. In the meantime, Mrs.
Butts made her way to a farm house.
On their return from the mountain
with the negro, his captors were es-
corted by a mob who demanded the
surrender of the man, that they might
take him to the wooss and hang him.
Hemp and Magaha refused to give
him up at the point Of their drawn re-
volvers, and took Winterchief safely to
Frederick.
Monday night an armed mob went to
Frederick to lynch the negro, but he
had been removed from the jail and
hidden by the officers. He will be
kept concealed until the excitement
is over.

The West Virginia Direct Tax.

Hon. I. V. johnson, State Auditor,
has received numerous inquiries re-
Gently concerning the direct tax mon
ev refunded to the State of West Vir-
ginia by the national government.
These inquiries come from persons who
claim that something is due them on
account Of taxes paid. The Auditor
addressed note of inquiry to ex-Gov-
ernor Wilson, one of the attorneys en-
ployed by the State to secure the re-
payment ! of this money, and he has re-
ceived the following reply;
CHARLESTON. W. VA, April 10, 1895.
Hon. /. V. Johnson, Auditor-Charles-
ton. w. Va.-Dear Sir Yours In rela-
ton to the ''direct tax refund TO TINS
State received. None of this money
goes to private individuals. 1t was not
paid bv them, excepting those of Jetfer-
son and Berkeley counties, and II was
refunded TO the citizens of those counties
under legislative appropriation many
wears ago. Excluding the amount col
lected from the citizens of Jefferson ana
Berkeley counties-about S27, OOO-our
State paid the direct tax by way oil on
set on a claim against the United States
for arming and equipping federal sold
iers. The entire amount paid the State
goes properly to the general State fund.
Many of our citizens paid large sums
under the internal revenue laws, ana
they make mistake in Supposing those
payments to have been under the direct
tax act.
Very respectfully,
+. w. WILSON.

Five Negroes Lynched.

Five negroes, two Of whom were wo-
men, were lynched near Greenville,
Ala, last Saturday night for the afro
cious murder of Watts Murphy, a
prominent young farmer and a nephew
of the late Governor Watts. The per-
sons lynched confessed their guilt and
gave an account of the crime. One of
the men knocked Mr.. Murphy down.
Others beat him into insensibility,
after which they carried his body to
a log heap. The women piled brush
on the body and set fire to the pile.
One of them said Mr.. Murphy turned
over after the hair had all been burned
off his head. Wood was added to the
pile until everything was consumed
but the heart and liver These refused
to burn and were taken away and
buried. The first clue to the where
abouts Of the missing man was OBJ
tanned by the finding of the teeth and
few bones, which resulted in the ar
rest and confession. The murderers
were Calvin Johnson, Frederick Doug
las, James Calhoun, Sim Jernigan,
Mary Davis and woman called "Jen-
ny. The county authorities arrested
the negroes, and precautions were
taken to guard them, but a mob which
was quickly organized overpowered the
Sheiff's posse, and strung them up
without delay.

A Hanging at Winchester.

Thornton Parker, who was recently
tried, convicted and sentenced to death
for an attempted criminal assault up
on Mrs. Mary V. Melton, near Middle
town, Va, on March 5 last, was hanged
at Winchester last Friday. The exc
cution was successfully carried out in
every detail by Sheriff Gore. Parker
rose early, and after eating hearty
breakfast, was visited by his spiritual
adviser. At s o'clock the prisoner
was returned to his cell, from which
he had been removed while certain
necessary preparations were being
made. In the cell religious services
were conducted by the Rev. W. I.
Harris, of the African NJ. E. Church.
Parker joined almost audibly and with
great fervor in the prayer offered.
When Sheriff Gore read the death war
rant to him, the prisoner showed no
signs of nervousness and answered
that he had nothing to say.
At 9.45 he bid all present goodbye,
and his arms were bound by Deputies
Hodgson and Stotlemyer. The march
to the scafold Immediately followed,
the prisoner walking with firm step
and taking his place on the platform;
He stood erect, and apparently did
not move a muscle. When asked if
he had anything TO say he replied;
"Well, l am glad that | stand here to-
day. 1 expect to make Heaven my
home. am the man that did the act.
l acknowledge it and l ask you all to
forgive. There is no room in this sim
full, wicked world for me. | am going
home to Heaven.
At the conclusion of his remarks his
feet were pinioned and the black cap
and moose adjusted by Special Officer
Hodgson. A handkerchief was placed
in Parker's hands, which he was told
to drop as signal for springing the
trap. During all this time he was
praying and continued to do so for halt
a minute, when, after opening and
closing his hands twice, using the
words, 80 Lord, search my heart, - the
handkerchief dropped, and as it struck
the platform, at 9.48, the trap fell,
having been sprung by an unseen hand,
At 1907 he was pronounced dead by
DR.. G. W. Larrick, of Middletown,
who was the official surgeon. Death
was due from strangulation.
The trial of Parker for attempted
rape was the first case of its kind tried
under the new law in the State of Vir-
ginia fixing the extreme punishment
with death.

Boom Companies Must Return the Money.

In three suits, consolidated, of A. NJ.
Henkel, assignee Of the Valley Land
and Improvement Company, against
NJ. L. Walton, S. A. Walton, ct ais,
argued last week before Judge Harri-
son of the Page circuit court in vaca-
ton, DEGREES were entered annulling
and resembling the contracts which
were the basis of the suits. The de-
PENDANTS, Messrs. Walton and others,
bought certain lots in Luray at the
sale of the Valley Land and Improve
ment Company's lots in September,
1890, paying part of the purchase
money in cash and executing their
notes secured by trust deeds for the
residue. Upon the ground that the
statements and promises of said COM
pany or its officers or agents which in
duced the defendants to purchase said
lots were false, the court not only re-
sends the contracts but directs the re-
payment by said company of the cash
payment made on the purchases, with
judgment for all costs.
The defendants in the suit were S.
A. Walton, NJ. L. Walton, L. S. Walk
er, and B. F. Forrer. The amount
sued for was about $1,000. The cash
payments that the courts decree re-
quires the company to return to the
defendants bear interest from Septem-
Der 25th, 1890. The court further de-
creed that the bonds given by the de-
PENDANTS be cancelled and delivered
up to them, and that they recover
costs from the plaintiff.-Staonton
