HANGED AND SHOT.
NEGRO LYNCHED AT FRED
ERICk, MARYLAND.
Prison Doors Forced with Siedges and
Crowbars In Quick Order-The Victim
Identified as tho Assailant OF Lille
Jones, q White Woman.

Frederick, Md. Nov. 19-James Co
lngs, who assaulted Miss Lille Jones at
the home of Hamilton Geisbert. near
this city, Saturday night, was taken
from the Jail by mob of 300 men and
hanged to tree in field on the JEFF
ferson turnpike, one mile from the
city.
A report reached the city that the
woman had died from the GU and
beating inflicted by the negro. and this
Infatuated the men, who had been
gathering in the streets and discussing
the outrage. A mob was quickly got
ten together and, unmarked, but armed
with revolvers, the men marched to the
Jail. They had previously broken into
machine shop in the neighborhood Of
the Jail and secured 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 twenty shots were fred from
the windows above by Sheriff A. Fl.
Zimmerman 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 twenty minutes the large door
panels gave way under the heavy blows
and the mob burst into the corridor.
They quickly overcame the slight re-
sistance the officers on the inside were
able to offer and found the cell in which
Goings, covering and crying. was con-
fined. He was led out amid the bowls
of the crowd. the rope placed around
him and he was hurried down the road
to his place Of doom. He protested his
innocence as they dragged him along.
and begged the mob not to kill him. He
was promptly recognized by number
of men who knew him, and the mob
did not hesitate in it's work.
Goings' feet and hands were tied and
the rope was drawn around his neck.
A man seized the other end Of it,
climbed the tree and threw the cord
over a limb.
Let him CO." was shouted. and
quick as flash he was jerked from his
feet and hung dangling in the air six
feet from the ground. One shot was
fired into his body, and in few min
utes he was dead.
The mob during the process of lynch
ing observed order; none were allowed
to fire at him except one.
A member of the mob made brief
speech, in which he said that they
were there with the unfortunate
wretch, not in a 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 assault for which Goings suf-
fered death was cruel and dastardly
one. Miss Jones has thirteen cuts and
stab wounds on her body where he
hacked at her with knife and razor.
She says he asked her for something to
eat, and, when she gave it to him, he
said:
II will give you dollar" She
screamed and ran fifty feet down the
garden, where he overlook her. knock
ing her down, and cut her, also crush
ing her nose.
The field in which the negro was
lynched is the same spot the negro Big
gus was lynched on in November, 1887.

junta is getting ready to issue $50 ,000,-
600 of bonds, at per cent. which it pro-
poses to pay "as soon after the war ter

Last summer White was arrested and
convicted of robbing freight cars at
Hundred. on the Baltimore and Ohio
road. In August he escaped from the
county Jail at New Martinsville. Since
that time the officers have been
looking for him. Yesterday Constable
Newton Forbes learned that White had
been seen about Wileyville. He went
after his man, but when he attempted
to make the arrest White whipped out a
revolver and brought down the consta-
BILE at the first shot. He died almost
instantly. James Baird and --
Hibbs attempted with the others to
overpower the murderer. White, who
was now thoroughly aroused, pumped
cold lead into them without hesitation,
bringing down Hibbs with a wound in
the stomach, from which he will likely
not recover, and catching Baird in the
leg. This inundated the others and
he made his escape. 1t is reported that
a nQSSa has hapn orpapizad and is naW
after the murderer.

NO SOFT COAL COMBINE.
Indiana Mine Operators Deny a Widei.
Spread Report.

SpTeau hepoTts
Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 19.-Indiana
coal operators say there is nothing in
the report sent out from New York that
the Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and western
Pennsylvania operators will follow the
example of the Maryland and West
Virginia operators and form pool like
the one in the anthracite field. AS a
matter of fact, there is TO hope now Of
the projected Interstate conference
next month to fix the wage scale for the
year beginning January.
When the settlement was reached in
July, it was with the understanding
that there should be a conference at
Pittsburg in December, but the word
from the western Pennsylvania oper-
ators is that they will fix their own
terms regardless OF the conditions in
other states. The Indiana mines never
were buster, and there is demand for
more miners.

L
viewed on the Subject.
Washington, Nov. 18.-1nformation
| reaching here from Demerera, ETittsn
Guiana, is to the effect that further DIS
! patches of a very pointed character
| have been received from Joseph Cham
| berlain, British minister for the COL
onies, concerning Venezuela. Tnelr
contents were not disclosed, but meet
| ing of the high council of the colony
was called, at which it was believed the
subject would be fully discussed the
report in circulation at Demerara and
generally credited is that Minister
| Cham berlain has forwarded dispatches
| to the British Guiana government. IN
which he inquiries whether or not IN the
event of measures between that colony
and Venezuela being pushed to ex-
tremes the colonial government is pre-
pared to do its utmost in an endeavor
to sustain the prestige of the British
flag. to which it owes allegiance.
Commenting on these dispatches, the
Press of Demerara says there need be
no hesitation in giving an Affirmative
answer to Minister Chamberlain. Inter-
views were had with all the foreign con-
suls in British Guiana concerning the
Venezuelan question. The French con-
sui, Mr.. Clark, and the Dutch consul,
Mr.. DeJonge, refused to commit them
selves in their official capacities. The
German consul, Mr.. Weber, was very
outspoken against the United States
and in favor of the British position.
England, he says, should insist on
final settlement on the lines it has laid
down. Mr.. Weber thinks the idea OF
any effective interference by America
absurd.

certain. This was fully demon

until the pain ceases, and then
after each operation of the bowels

Indignation at st. Joseph and Threat
cntd LynchinS of Wagner.
AlbSrt Elandt was arraigned in Chicago
yesterday on charge of abduction, and
held in $4,000 bonds for hearing October
IL.
Maud Steidel, young girl, from ST. Jo-
seph, Mo, appeared against him, accom-
panied by her uncle, Alexander Podru mt
Of holton, Kan. This is the girl with
whose disappearance from her home a
shCrt while ago Father Dominic Wagner
of st. Joseph was said to have been con-
necteu.
1t will he remembered that this caused
much excitement IN st. Joseph Accord
ing TO Elandt's statements, he was made
dupe by the priest, to whom he is re-
lated. Three weeks ago he received a
message from the priest asking him to 20
to st. Joseph. On his arrival there few
days later, Wagner asked him to take the
girl to CHI. oago, as he wished to place her
in a convent to complete her education.
Elandt took the girl to Chicago and
placed her in Catholic school on the
west side 1t seems that Wagner also
shipped a lot of furniture to that city, and
was preparing to go there and live with
the girl, with whom he had sustained i'm
proper relations for some time. The eX-
element IN St. Joseph over the matter is
great. and there is much talk there of
lynching Wagner.
The girl stated that Father Wagner had
been criminaily intimate with her for a
wear She said it Awas his intention to
come to Chicago and take care of her.
Word was received BY the police from ST
Joseph that Father Wagner had been ar
rested there on the Charge of abduction.
