TWO NEGROES LYNCHED,
MurdererS Taken From Jail
and Executed by a
Mob.
The Victims Had Assisted in the
Brutal Murder of a White
Man.

CAMDEN, ARK, July 14.-About mid
night last night at Hampton, thirty miles
east OF here, two negroes were lynched by
white men.
Two months ago a white man named
Martin was brutally killed by three negroes.
Two of them were arrested and confined in
Jail. The mob gathered several nights be-
fore, but were persuaded to desist. But it
seems new strength was added when
seventy-fve men demanded the delivery of
the negroes. 1t was useless to resist such
force, so the keys were delivered to them.
The negroes were seized and carried to the
neighboring forest. The enraged mob gave
them few minutes for prayer, when the
ropes were adjusted and the two spirits
were launched into eternity.
The men were not masked and made no
effort in any way to conceal their identity.
All was quiet this morning.
1t was only couple of years ago that a.
race riot occurred in that county. The
negroes outnumber the whites by far in
Calhoun county, and further trouble is
expected.

SHOT FOE HIS GOLD.

Il Dying Negro accuses White Man of

NEWMARKET, ALA, July 14-Nat
Powell prominent citizen here, was ar
rested yesterday on warrant sworn out
by William Morris, negro, charging him
with shooting with intent to kill.
The negro tells sensational story. He
says some months ago he discovered in a
cave near Newmarket lot of coins left by
convict, and that his brother, who is a
professor in a normal college at Hunts
vile, took the coins to Gadsden and got
$1,000 in bills for them. After giving his
brother $500 he reburied the balance ex-
cept $500. He told of his fortune and Pow
ell wanted to Lorrow the 5000 without CIV
ing note.
A few nights ago Powell and two negroes
called Morris out of his house, at the point
of pistols and babe him lead the way to the
cave. The negro went to the place and
told the white man the money was under a
rock, which he pointed out. and while
search was being made he ran off. Before
he proceeded far the white man shot him
down and under promise of swearing that
the shot was fired because he (Morris) was
stealing chickens, the wounded man was
carried home.
The negro will die. Powell denies the
whole story and the Sheriff will go to-
morrow to the cave to verify the negroe' S
tale

year by more than 100000 pounds. There
is no doubt of larger call Tor stock,
especially for fine Australian. The de-
mand for medium domestic f1eeces is
checked by smallness of supply; there
is more inquiry for fine fieeces, particu-

exists for fine and coarse pulled woods.
OF course, business is being done on
close margins, but about everybody deems
il impossible that wool values shall go

ular Representation Rejected.

Berlin, Feb. 20.-The resolution pro-
viding for the repeal Of the law expell-
ing the Jesuits from Germany was
read the third time and passed in the
reichstag this afternoon. The passage
of the measure was received with
cheers by the members of the Center,
or Catholic party. The Conservatives,
the members Of the reichspartei and
National Liberals voted against the
resolution. 1t is not expected, how
ever. that it will become a law as the
bundersrath, which has heretofore al
ways refused it's consent to repeal OF
the laws, is not expected to sanction
the resolution. The bill for the ex-
pulsion of the order from Germany was
passed by the reichstag on June 10,
1872. by a vote of 131 TO SO, and was
promulgated on July 8. The support
ers of the measure based their advo-
cacy Of 1t on the activity of the JeSuitS
on behalf of the papal supremacy.
In December, 1898, Count Hompesch,
the leader of the Center, introduced a
bill to repeal the anti-Jesuit laws,
which passed it's third reading by d
small majority, but the federal council
failed to give effect to the repeal
a bill submitted by Mr.. Pachnicke
Of the Radical Poplar party, providing
for popular representation in the feder-
al states of Germany, came up in the
reichStag today on motion for its sec
ond reading. After a discussion the
motion was rejected. In the course of
the debate there was a lively scene
arising from some remarks made by
Eugene Richter of the Peoples party
on the constitution of the grand duchy
OF Mecklenberg, which was the princi-
pal object of attack. He declared that
Mecklenberg should have long ago been
extinct, except for the number of ILL
Ultimate births therein.
At this point Federal Councillor Cert
zen rose and Indignantly protested
against Richter'S tauntS. declaring
that he was overstepping the bounds of
decency
A great tunult ensued on the Left
benches which completely drowned the
speakers voice.
When quiet had been restored Won
LevitZow, the president of the chamber,
said that he deeply regretted the ex-
preSSionS Of OertZen, which were ire
concilable with the traditions of the
house. The members Of the Left loudly
applauded the remarks of Levitzow.
The chamber then dicussed the bill
offered by HitZ of the Centre party for
the establishment of an inquiry into
the industrial conditions of working
people, especially in regard to the fur
Their reduction of the working hours of
married women. DR.. Won Boetticher
said that the government sympathized
with the objects of the bill as far as it
sought to introduce greater comfort
into the life Of the working classes. but
the result Of inquiries already proceed
ed should be awaited before the ap-
pointment of general commission of
inquiry.

SUICIDE IN FRANCE.
Poverty Annually Drives Four Thousand
Peonle to Self-De struction.

People to Standardization.
Statistics of suicide show that during
the last four years twenty-six thousand
persons have in France put an end to
their own lives: in Italy. with popu-
lation almost equal to that of France,
the number of suicides during the
same period has not exceeded eight
thousand. In seeking the reasons for
this great difference the well-known
Partisan Journalist. NJ. Henri Fouquier,
explains that in Italy the Roman Cath
Ollie religion is still strongly rooted in
the population. and that it acts rs de-
terrent against self-destruction. For
merly, in Italy the body of suicide
was dragged through the streets and
then exhibited on a gibbet. Moreover,
if Italy is not so rich a country as
France, poverty there is less severely
felt and more easy to bear than in
France, thanks to the Italian sunshine
and blue sky. 1t is estimated that per-
haps a quarter of the population of
Naples, for instance, live in
state of poverty which could
not be borne by workman
IN fdrlS- or IN tne tOWnS Oh Lne
north of France In addition to this,
mendicity is not, in Italy, regarded as
either shameful or humiliat ting There
fore, Notwithstanding the extreme
poverty prevailing in Italy, NJ. Fou-
Quier is not astonished that it should
lead but few persons to commit suicide.
VI. Fouquier points out that in Italy
self-destruction IS in most cases the
denouement of love drama, whereas
in France, out of an average of six
thousand five hundred suicides year,
there are not more than three hundred
that can be classed as suicides of pas
sion. In France money, or rather the
lack of it, is the cause of self-destruc-
ton. NJ. EouGuier considers that some
two thousand suicides year may be
due to insanity: but he points out that
it is now demonstrated by the statistics
that in France four thousand persons
a year, that is to say, about ten per-
sons a day, hang, drown or stifie
themselves with the fumes of char
coal, or blow out their brains because
they are ruined, because they are pro-
secuted by their creditors, because
they cannot earn enough to procure
food and are dying of starvation
