HIS CRIME? AS ATROCIouS
He Escapes F , Ais Captors, But the Dogs ,c- i Ilim Down. <
SHORT AND DESPERATE FIGHT IN JAIL
He Is Taken Before His Victims for Identi- feation and Then There Is Hiatus, Which Judge Lynch
 Might Fill.

Meridian, Miss. July 25.--(SpeciaL)-As a result of the commission near Hatties- burg last Saturday night of one of the fouiest crimes ever brought to light in Mississippi towit, the brutal assault by negroes. near that place. upon Mrs. A. D. Hartheld who was several times wounded with 3S-caliber pistol, and the ravishing and murder of her two daugh- ters. Tom Johnson, a negro suspected of the crime, and who was incarcerated in the county jail, was forcibly taken from the officers at an early hour this morn ing by a mob of determined men.
 The particulars of the crime with wh oh Johnson and his accomplices are charged are exceedingly revolting. The young la dies were met at the COW lot by the ne- groes, who split their heads open with hatehets nd then outraged them. The mother was then fired upon, being quite severely wounded in several placzs, and after having been chased around the house several times escaped with her life only by dropping suddenly to the ground and secreting herself under the house.
 When the negro brute was taken from the jail this morning the mob went with him in the direction of the scene of the crime fifteen miles away. Before reach ing their destination, however, Johnson escaped from them, but after a chase of several hours with dogs through the swamps of Leaf river he was recaptured.
 The sheriff of the county refused to surrender the keys to the jail but the mob, determined to have the negro tore down the outer wallr to the yard and then made openings in the jail building large enough to admit the crowd. Locks in the doors leading to the apartment in which Johnson was confined were broken and when his cell was reached the door was forced open with large iron bar.
 The negro secured possession of this and used it effectually in keeping the mob at bay for some minutes. He was shot three times before being taken from his cell, and was then oYerpowered by> two stalwart negro men, who bound him with cords The eegro was carried before the victims of the outrage for identifica- ton. If his guilt was well established he was certainly iynched.

very carelesa Workmanship.

Quarantine, s. l., July 25.-Captain Quick of the Morgan line steamer Fl Rio, which arrived this morning from New Orleans, reports that at 8:35 this morning, about a mile south of Scotland Light Vessel, a shot from the proving grounds Of the United States government at Sandy Hook crossed the ships bow, distant about 50 feet, and landed about one-eighth of a mile to the eastward, throwing the water high in the air An other shot followed, falling directly in the wake of the steamer. Captain Quick was quite serious in expressing his indig- nation at the unnecessary risk to his crew and vessel. The Fl Rio was moving slowly in the direction of the entrance to the channel when the firing began, because the weather was hay and Cap tain Quick did not feel justified in speed ing his ship. The first shot passed a short distance ahead of the El Rio and the second but a little way astern.

under a Grave Charge.

Meridian, Miss. July 25.--(Specia1)- sensational report of an attempted as- sault upon a young lady, daughter of Wiley Reed, a respected farmer, who lives fourteen miles northwest of this city, by young man named Ed Graham reached the city at a late hour last night.
 It seems that the young lady was at the woodpile when Graham appeared, and, taking hold of her arm, endeavored to force her to accompany him to the woods near by. The sceams of the young lady frightened him away. A posse of indignant citizens went in pursuit of Graham, who captured and turned him over to the officers.
 He was arraigned before the justice of the peace, who committed him to jail in default of $400 bond.
 While in custody of the constables and en route to jail the bond was made and the young man released.
 Ed Graham is a son of Rev. Thomas Graham, a Baptist divine, who has re- sided for some years in this and Kemper counties.

HIS APPLICATION DENIED.
Durant Gets No Change of Venue for the
 Present, at Least

San Francisco. July 25-When the Du- rant case was resumed this morning be- fore Judge Murphy, District Attorney Barnes read a number of affidavits made by prominent citizens and detective off, cers to the effect that there was no prcj- udice in the public mind with regard to Durant which would prevent him from obtaining fair trial by jury.
 Judge Murphy, at the conclusion of the reading of the affidavits, stated that he had refreshed his mind in this matter,- which was similar to the case of Alex ander Goldenson, who murdered Mamie Jolly, school girl.
 This case was tried before him some years ago. A change of venue was asked for but then denied, and the supreme court had upheld the decision.. The court denied the motion of the defend ant for the present time but would give the defendant leave to renew it later if his attorneys deemed 1t necessary.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Mrs. Sam Finley, of Nogales, left that place, by stage, yesterday morning for this city, to visit friends and relatives. Her baby boy, Sam, was with her, and was at the time of start. ing in the best of health. On the way, however, the little fellow sickened, of what appeared to be fever. and died in her arms. The frantic and distressed mother was helpless, and could do mo- thing to help her suffering babe, and when it's little life went out she still nursed It's inanimate clay. Efforts were at once made to reach the father, but he had gone on business to Orc BIanco, and could with difficulty be communicated with. He is however expected tonight. The funeral will take place tomorrow. Sympathy IS everywhere expressed for the distressed mother who is prostrated with grief.

 One good result of this order will be that it will put an end to all opportun- ity for shipping horse meat under the guise of beef. There will be no obiec- tion to shipping it if labeled with it's true name, but the chance for palming it off as beef and injuring the reputa- tion of American cattle will hereafter be practically nil. The order is both just and judicious, and all honest pack CTS should comply with it cheerfully and promptly.

MoRToN's ORDER AS TO MEATS

Secretary Morton has issued an order of prime importance to meat packers. It is a radical and salutary move for the restoration of American beef to the high estate from which it has been un- justly deposed ID Europe.
 On and after Sept. 16 all beef offered for exportation, in whatever shape, must be accompanied by the certificate of 8 government inspector, showing that it is sound and wholesome. The part of the order, however, which is entirely new is that which IS intended to afford complete proof that no American beef has escaped such inspection. To attain this end Secretary Morton has ordered that after the date named all meat from every species of animals. which for any reason does not bear the tags and stamps of the government inspectors, must be legibly labeled in such manner as to indicate the animal from which the meat was produced. All meat not so labeled will be classed as uninspect- ed beef and will be debarred from ex. portation. and any vessel having on board such questionable meat will be

AN OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.

AN OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.
 It is doubtful if students of sociology have given sufficient attention to the enormous amount of work done by the cooperative methods in the earlier days of this country. In various fields of work, where many hands were requir- ed. all the neig h bors would turn to and help the former or his wife, and so it would go all through the neigh borhood. There were husking bees, quilting bees, sewing bees, house raisings, barn rais- ings, etc. The undertaking, whatever it was, was done with 8 rush; the oc- casions were always festive in char acter, with plenty to eat and drink, and no end of merriment, so that work was largely converted into play. These af- fairs did much to relieve the sombre aspect of life in those days. A revival of the old-fashioned building bee" is reported from San Francisco, where many carpenters and house painters have taken up the idea very successful ly. When one of their number has saved enough money to buy lot and the requisite building material, the rest all turn to of a Sunday and build the house for him. This appears to be an excellent way for mechanic to get a home cheaply, and one strong recom- mendation is the means it presents for escaping the burdens of a mortgage which in many cases is almost as seri- ous drain upon the income as rent.

THE MOTOR ROAD WAGON.

The discovery of new means of loco. motion and the better application of old methods continue to occupy the at- tention of inventors, and that we are rapidly approaching an era in which the horse will hardly have place in a field he formerly almost monopolized, is absolutely certain. Smooth roads render the employment of mecanical motors not only possible but very prob able. AS long as a wagon had to be drawn over ruts and boulders, it was difficult to dispense with the firm footed beast that has performed thls service for so many centuries. The art of making an even-surfaced road being now acquired and practiced, there is no longer any reason why the mechanical motor need be confined to rails or tram ways. And the bicycle already suggests the application of artificial power to
 
 the revolving wheels.
 As Paris has led the world in smooth pavements, she has naturally led also in horseless vehicles. Carriages and wagons propelled by various forms of heat expansion or by electric power are no longer a novelty there and one of these Parisian vehicles has just been introduced in New York and has run over the asphalt with apparent success. There IS no reason why such vehicle might not be used in all the cities, and in the country where the roads are not in such condition as to render their use impossible.
 Of course it is not more than a curi- osity, a toy, an advertisement, at pre- sent. Various questions of cost and practical convenience must be settled before it can become more than this. But the outlook is much more promis- ing than was that of the first steamboat or the first locomotive, and it is by no means inconceivable that to coming generations the horse will only be a luxury, like the sailing yacht.
