In Prayer and the Negro and Crowd
Joined In.

FREDERICK, Md, Nov. ls.-James
Goings, who assaulted Miss Lille
Jones at the home Of Hamilton Gels
bert near this city. has been taken from
the Jail by mob of 300 men and hung
to tree in field on the jefferson
turnpike, one mile from the city.
A report reached the city about mid
night that the woman had died from
the cats and beating inflicted by the
1egro, and this infuriated the men,
who had been gathering in the streets
and discussing the outrage.
A mob was quickly gotten together,
and unmasked but armed with revol-
veTs the men marched to the Jail.
They had previously broken into a ma.
chine shop in the neighborhood Of the
fail, and procured sledges, crowbars
and files They made at once for the
door on the west wing Of the Jail, and
began TO batter upon it.
Fully 20 shots we're fred from the
windows above by Sheriff A. II. Zim-
norman and his deputies, but the mob
paid no attention to them. and went on
with their work. The Jail bell was
rung TO summon assistance, but none
came.
In 20 minutes the large door panels
gave way under the heavy blows, and
the mob burst into the corridors. They
quickly overcame the slight resistance
the officers on the inside we're able to
offer, and found the cell in which
Goings, covering and crying, was con-
fined The trembling wretch was
seized and dragged to his place Of
doom in his nightclothes and stocking
feet protesting his innocence. Arrived
at a tree, the negro was asked to CON
fess, but this he would not do Two
officers of the Salvation army asked to
be allowed to pray with him, and their
request was granted. The Lord s
prayer was then repeated, and the
negro and most Of the crowd joined in.
He was then strung up. One shot was
tred into his body, and in few min.
utes he was dead.
A member of the mob made a brief
speech, in which he said that they were
there with the unfortunate wretch not
in spirit Of malice, but to make an
example Of him, and teach his race that
they must let the women of Frederick
county alone

The Old Romans Birthday.
CoLUMBus, Nov. l4.-Judge Allen G.
Thurman was SO years old yesterday.
On account of his feeble health there
was no celebration of the event. Nu-
merous kilograms Of congratulation
were received from prominent men.
Judge Thurman was able to eat heart
lily and.seems to be rapidly shaking off
the effects of his recent injury. The
Thurman club, which has visited the
Old Roman regularly on his birthday
for number of years, sent floral
piece and resolutions regretting that
his recent atfiiction would not permit
them paying their respects in person.
The club extended its heartfelt sympa-
thy in his atfiiction and expressed hopes
for his speedy recovery. Judge Thur.
man was much affected when he re-
ceived the kind remembrance of the
Climb.

culture for the law, being admitted to the
bar in 1854. He joined the Republican
party at its formation and stumped In
diana in the campaign of 1856 for John
c. Fremont. When the war broke out
Gov. Morton appointed him lieutenant
colonel of volunteers and he served
throughout the rebellion chiefly in the
West. In the campaign against Atlanta
he commanded a division, having been
promoted to brigadier general. In this
campaign he was badly wounded, and
was compelled to go to his home in New
Albany. When he retired from the
army he bore the rank of breyet-major
general for gallant service. After the
war he resumed the practice of his pro-
fession. He ran for congress but was de-
feated and he declined to accept the col
lectorship of New Orleans and the district
attorneyship of Indiana, both of which
positions were offered him by President
Grant In 1869 he was appointed district
judge in Indiana. President Arthur
made him postmaster general in 1883, and
near the close of Arthur's term he was
made Secretary of the Treasury to sue
ceed Mr.. Folger. In December 1884 he was
appointed circuit judge by President
Arthur in which position he remained
until he was made Secretary of State in
President Cleveland's S cabinet, he having
left the Republican party during the pre-
ceding national campaign Mr.. Gresh-
ANS career in the State department is
too fresh in the public mind to need any
extended review. 1t fell to his lot to
have several important questions in which
the public was much interested thrust
upon him, and his action in regard to
them has been severely criticized. Es-
pecially was his Hawaiian policy made
the subject of much animadversion. But
the judgements of contemporaries is very
liable to be unjust and influenced by the
passions and prejudices of the moment.

Sodom where religious and moral senti-
| 1nent is well nigh obliterated and where
| rum is king The charges were made al
most without qualification and were
almost as Incorporate as they represented
the state as being
That these revivalists may have been
sincere in their beliefs is something that
| the News prefers not to question. They
are supposed to be working in the inter
| ests of Christianity and the News there
fore will not impung their motive.
| But as to the facts in the case they are
absolutely and entirely false and every
son of Maine wherever he may be located
will feel a thrill of Indignation as he
| reads of the villifcation of the old Pine
| Tree State, for no true son of Maine ever
| forgets the kind mother that nourished
him, and gave him shelter.
The people of Maine need no defender,
for they are not on trial. They are in
telligent, and in no state are the stan
dards of culture, morality and religion
higher than in Maine. The long line of
| noble men and women that Maine has
given to the nation will stand as peer of
any similar line to be formed from any
or all the states.

inaugurated in the country had it's birth
or inception in the state Of Maine Here
the big temperance agitation under Gen
eral Neal Dow started, which has swept
the globe and done more to suppress the
rum traffic than anything else Neal
Dow may be crank, but wherever the
English language is spoken, mothers and
children rise up and call him blessed, and
as the grand old man is now nearing the
end of life he can see that the principles
he has fought for all his life are more
potent than ever.
The Republican party had it's birth in
the little town Of Strong, Me-, and what
the nation owes to this party it can never
repay nor express.
1t was in Maine that the grand move
ment for Christian Endeavor had its
origin less than decade ago and today a
million and over of united Christian
workers are carrying on the good work
begun in the Williston Congregational
church in the city of Portland.
Thus in politics. in religion and in the
promotion of morality the three greatest
movements that ever agitated nation
had their origin in the dear old Pine Tree
State.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Debs case is important not for its
effect upon Debs who every body believes
deserves some punishment, but because
it establishes the principle that courts
under certain circumstances may take
short cuts to accomplish things, which
under the ordinary process of the law
might require many months for their
consan. nation. Debs. it will be remem-
bered, was not tried before jury and con-
victed He is in jail because of contempt
of court The court issued an injunction
forblding him to do certain things He
disobeyed the injunction, and was sent
to Jail summarily by the judge for con-
tempt. The power to punish for contempt
is a very arbitrary power, and it had
never been used for precisely the same
purpose for which it was employed in the
Debs case. 1t was the use of this power
that broke the Chicago strike, and but for
recourse to it the strike would undoubted-
ly have been carried on much longer; for
had Debs been arrested under the ordinary
process of the law he would have secured
bail, his trial would have been delayed for
some time, and for the time being he
would have been free to continue his
management of the strike. But by the
proceeding for contempt he was snatched
in the twinkling of an eye from the
scene of his labors and committed to Jail
There is no doubt that this method of
procedure served good purpose in this
particular case and at this particular time
1t arrested the danger of wide spread de-
struction and stopped the rioting which,
had it continued, would have been prolific
of destruction of property and per
haps of life. Yet it was a power of sc
summary a character and could be
used for such tyrannical purposes that 8
great many people who have no patience
with strikes and labor riots have viewed
its exercise with a good deal of anxiety,
and though the Supreme Court has sus
tanned it, the public will nevertheless re
gard it as a power that is to be used very
sparingly and only in great emergencies.
