LYNcHINc IN MARYLAND.
Frederick Goines, a Brutal Negro, Taken
From Jail and Hanged BY a
Nob


FREDERICK, MD, Nov. 17.-Frederick
Goings, young negro, begged food at the
residence of Hamilton Giesbert, near this
city, yesterday afternoon. After eating a
meal he attacked Miss Tillie Jones, who
he discovered was alone in the house. In
overcoming the girls resistance the negro
broke her nose and cut her with razor.
He was arrested and held for hearing on
M onday. Later he was taken from the
jail by mob and hanged to tree, on
which few years ago negro named
Blgus was lynched for the same crime.
Shortly before midnight committee of
half-dozen went to the jail door and de-
manded the keys. Sheriff Zimmerman
refused TO give them up. There was an
other consultation, the word was passed
among the 300 persons in the mob and the
whole body moved toward the prison. AS
the leaders reached the stout oaken side
door Sheriff Zimmerman raised window
and fired his revolver, but no one was
hurt. He also rang the jail bell tor assist
ance, but none came.
In an instant the jail door gave way be-
fore the infuriated citizens, a moment
later dozen stalwart men were hammer
ing at the door of Goings' cell.
While the negro crouched IN corner
piteously begging for mercy, the bars of
his cell door were wrenched from their
fastenings and he was dragged out OF the
jail and iynched.

ATTACK PULLMAN RATES,
All Railroads in the. United
States to Petition for a
Reduction.
A Cut of at Least Twenty-Five Per
Cent for Upper Berths
Demanded.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. ia morning
paper says: All the railroads in the United
States using Pullman sleeping-cars are
about to present unanimous petition to
the company to have toe price of upper
berths in its sleeping-cars lowered at least
25 per cent. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has started the war against the
Pullman rates. James r. Wood, general
passenger agent of this road, has addressed
private letter to the general passenger
agents of all the important railroads in the
country using the Pullman sleeping-cars
asking them to join him in request to
the Pullman Company to have the price OF
upper berths reduced at least 25 per cent
below the price charged for lower berths.
In his letter Mr.. WOOD says that his COM
pany is determined to have the price OF
upper berths lowered, and earnestly re-
quests the cooperation of all roads using
the Pullman sleeper. About two-thirds of
the Chicago roads using these cars have
agreed to join the Pennsylvania Company
in its campaign for lower berth rates.
The matter has been kept extremely Sc
cret, only the general passenger agents
knowing anything about it. A meeting of
the general passenger agents of all the
roads in the country using these cars will
probably soon be called to take final action
on the question.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
Princeton Yale advisory committee held
another meeting yesterday in connection
with the big Manhattan field game which
takes place next week, The committee
men met Managers Foote and Milbank on
Manhattan field and from there they went
and checked every seat in the stand and
gave directions regarding field arrange
ments.
AS the day for the great struggle be-
tween the blue and the orange and black
draws near interest is, if possible, increas-
ing. Corbin, the old Yale center rush,
who was one of the most interested spec
tators at the Harvard Princeton game,
ventures to predict success for Yale; but
the other coachers are not SO confident by
and means, and no one has yet been found
who does not believe that a victory by
either side will have to be Thoroughly
earned. Both elevens have had their ',off'
games this year, and each has shown itself
| capable at other times of playing the best
! of football. -: =
Princeton, with her brilliant victory be-
hind her, is not resting upon her laQrels:
Yale Is also making tremendous efforts, to
get into proper form, and it has now come
down. to question of which team: can
make the greatest improvement during the
remaining time. A glance at the, two
teams shows abundance of good material
on both sides. :.:.:= :. !
Taking everything into consideration.
the players on both teams are in fairly
good condition. Just how strong an eleven
Yale will be able to place on the field: this
year is yet to be seen. By the time: Of. he

SANK WITH THEIR CREWS,
Two Fishing Schooners Lost Off
the New England
Coast.
Thirty Seamen Thought to Have Gone
to the Bottom With the
Vessels.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, Nov. 17.-Word
was received here to-day of the loss of the
Helen +. Watkins and the John T. Blake,
belonging to the fishing feet of this port.
The vessels are supposed to have foun-
dered in the big gale which prevailed off
the Grand Banks late in October. Both
were stanch craft, and when the storm was
over and no tidIngs of them were received
it was thought that they had been blown
out to sea and would return as soon as
possible.
The steamer Mongolian of the Warren
line of steamships between Liverpool and
Boston reports that it picked up boat
belonging to the Helen E. Watkins while
100 miles from the Great Banks.
1t also reports having passed large
amount of wreckage. Additional con-
firmation of the loss of this schooner was
received from the customs officials of st.
Johns, Newfoundland, who telegraphed
that greater part OF the vessel had come
ashore near st. Pierre.
There is no doubt but that the whole
crew of the Watkins, mum bering fourteen
men, perishec, as it would be impossible
for them to have reached shore, owing to
the ferceness of the gale.
The customs officials Of st. Johns tele-
graphed that they had news OF the loss of
the Blake about twenty miles off Cape
Race. 1t was seen by the schooner Idle
wild. which put into port to-day. The
Blake was flying signals OF distress, but the
Idlewlld was unable to assist her, owing to
the heavy sea. The Blake was one of the
largest vessels of the Gloucester fleet, and
carried a crew of sixteen men, all of whom
are undoubtedly lost.

service to-day that venerable parish re-
corded the entrance into the third century

CALLS FOR MORE TROOPS
The Force Sent to Quell the
Uprising in Ontario Held
in Check.
Settlers Are in an Ugly Frame of Mind
and Will Resist Dominion
Officers.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Nov. 17.-Word was
received by the authorities to-day which
shows that the threatened outbreak in the
backwoods country in the region of the
Upper Gatineau hills and forests north of
Ottawa has assumed formidable dimen-
sions; ard in spite of the declarations
made by the investigating party of Do
minion police, the solving of these difficult
ties will not be an easy matter.
On the return of the first expedition yes
terday, with the intelligence that the Irish
settlers had warned them not to enter the
disputed district, orders for military relief
were issued and company of men drafted
from the Forty-third Battalion, Princess
Louise Dragon Guards, and the Ottawa
light field battery was detailed to accom-
pany the Dominion police.
Late to-day, however, dis patch was re-
celyed from the commandant OF the expe-
dition ordering 200 more men to be sent on
Immediately, as he thought it imprudent
to make an advance until his force had
been considerably increased. The DIS
patch also brought the intelligence that
the settlers were in very ugly frame of
mind and that the least provocation would
incite them to open rebellion.
The leaders still announce their inten-
ton of resisting by force of arms any at
tempt to abrogate what they claim as their
rights. The authorities state that the
trouble will be quietly disposed of and the
leaders punished, but from semi-official
source it was learned that those acquainted
with the conditions were positive that the
affair would not be disposed of so easily.
The reinforcement that left tonight went
to Lowe and the advance will be made to-
morrow. The authorities are in earnest
and will punish vigorously any attempt at
rebellion.

N. ART0N UNDER ARREST.
The French Ministry Probing the
Old Panama Canal
Scandal.
Resolved Upon a Thorough Purifca,
tion of Parliament and
the Press.

LONDON, ENG, Nov. 17.-Emil Arton,
whose name was very prominent during
the height of the Panama scandal and who
disappeared from Paris when the matter
prom ised to be made the subject of a
judicial inquiry, has been arrested in this
city on an extradition warrant dated
August, 1892. charging him with fraud in
connection with DR.. Herr and the late
Baron de Reinach of the Panama Canal
Company. 1t is said that Arton was the
60 between between those who paid and
those who received bribes to influence
legislation favorable to the company.
The prisoner was arraigned in the Bow
street extradition court and remanded
until Thursday.
PARIS, FRANCE, Nov. 17.-The arrest of
Arton is regarded here as a master stroke
on the part of the Bourgeois Cabinet. In
view Of the revelations Arton is expected
to make members of the Center party who
were in no way implicated in the Panama
scandal are not likely to attack the Gov
ernment, as they will fear to discredit
themselves in behalf of the implicated
members of their party. The arrest is re-
garded as proving that previous Ministries
might have had Arton taken into custody
if they had wished to do so.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 18.-The Her
AIDS special correspondent cables from
Paris as follows: We are now expecting
another sensational arrest-this time of
an offender who was convicted, but who
succeeded in making his escape.
The Bourgeois Ministry, angered by
sundry little pitfalls prepared for it by the
Moderates, is determined to put an end to
the present situation, and has resolved to
probe thoroughly the question relating to
the Panama Canal, the Southern Railway
and the Algerian phosphate mines.
The Irregularities discovered in connec-
ton with these last have already led NJ
Cavaignac to recall the official responsible
for them.
A still weightier matter is the question
whether or not Arton will communicate q
list of the Deputies compromised in the
Panama scandals.
The Ministry believes that he will keep
silence. but if he does there are other ways
in which the suspects may have their char
acters made known. There are only fif-
teen or twenty of them in the Cham Der,
for the rest were not reelected by their
constituents.
The Ministerial policy is precisely what
was cabled on the first day of the new
Cabinets existence. 1t aims at effecting
the publication of both Parliament and
press.
