Ellaville, Fla, to the Republic, says;
Three negroes were lynched in a
dense swamp on the Suanee river, by
white men, for assaulting a white girl.
1t is reported that they were fayed
alive and then burned, after being
subjected to horrible fortunes.
Devils, Not Men.
The crime for which the negroes were
so horribly put TO death was one of
the most terrible in the history Of
this section of Florida. The scene of
the crime and retribution was La Fay
cite, the adjoining county to Madison
on the south.
Miss Mamie Armstrong, the beauti-
full daughter of a prominent La Fay
cite county farmer, left her home five
days ago to spend the might with a
neighbor who lived two miles distant.
The next day Miss Armstrong; father
went to the house to bring her home,
and was alarmed to hear that nothing
had been seen of her. MrArmstrong
alarmed the 1.eighbors and a search
was made. The woods We're secured
and the Suanee river dragged. Final
~ about midway between the home of
Mr.. Armstrong and the neighbours
house, the handkerchief of Miss ARM
strong was found clinging to a bush
and all around were evidences of a des-
perate struggle.
Not n Shred Left.
The searchers followed the trail thus
indicated, finding all along that the
girl had been dragged into the woods.
After proceeding for mile, the corpse
Of Miss Armstrong was found in
thick clump of bushes. The body OF
the girl was in a horrible condition.
Every shred of clothing had been torn
from it and she had been assaulted.
The lower limbs had been torn apart.
her head crushed and her throat cut.
1t was evident that the girl had made
desperate fight for under her nails
were found pieces of black cuticle
which she had torn from her assail-
ants.
Sam Echols was suspected and was
threatened with instant death unless
he confessed. He did so and implicat.
ed Sim Crowley and John Brooks.
Echols said they kept the girl for "a
hours before killing her, forcing her,
in the meantime. to repeatedly submit
to the most horrible indignities. For
the greater part of the time the negro
said Miss Armstrong was unconscious.
The Fiends Tortured.
Having secured the negroes implicat-
ed by Echols, the white men proceeded
with the three fiends to a dense swamp
on the Suanee river where they were
made to suffer tortures similar to that
they had inflicted on the girl.
The white people are terribly aroused
and swear they will exterminate the
negroes if these outrages are con-
tinued.

Court two days ago, as printed in The
Star at the time, were called in Judge KIM
balls court this morning, the representa-
tives of twenty-five firms being in court
Mr.. Pugh, representing tho District, call
ed the cases to the attention of the court,
and said that one of the merchants, Mr..
Clayton Emerich, had applied for and had
been granted a temporary injunction
against sne Commissioners, and he thought
it was no mere than fair that these cases
should go over until the injunction Is dis
posed of. The action of the court in the
case, however, will not affect these cases,
for they are brought, not by the Commits
sIoners, but by the people. He thought,
however, it would be good policy to let the
cases go over until the upper court dis
poses of the matter.
Judge Kimball said that the cases should
go over by all means, for. he said, the de-
cision Of the upper court may have some
bearing on the cases before him. The law
laid down in the injunction case will GER
tainly be followed by this court
On motion Of MIR. Pugh, the cases went
over indefinitely, and the defendants will
be notified when to appear.

GENERAL NEWS OF THE DAY

GUTHRIE, Okla, May 0.-Newcomb,
alias Bitter Creek" and Pierce, alias
Dynamite Dick" leaders of the desperate
Dalton-Doolin gang of outlaws, who were
killed last week, were betrayed by sup
posed friends. entrapped into the latter $
home and murdered while they slept under
their hosts roof The killing. according to
a story of neighbors, brought in from In
gals, was done by the Dunns, who had been
promised large rewards by the deputies.
who claimed later to have made the cap
ture of the famous outlaws. The friends of
the latter have sworn vengeance and the
Dunn family are arming.
The killing is on par with the assassin
alton by the Ford boys of Jesse James.
The Dunns were in Ingalls, on the after
noon of the killing and went home with a
large amount of beer and whisky. 1t had
been arranged to have Sallie Niles, a sweet
heart of Dynamite Dick" and the two out
laws meet at the Dunn house that night for
a fine time. By midnight the outlaws were
badly under the influence Of liquor and
armed. While in this condition, 1t is as
serted, the Dunns perforated them with
Winchester balls and buckshot. An ex-
animation of the bodies showed that all the
bullets and buckshot had gone into the
bodies in such way as to leave no other
conclusion than that the men were lying
down when shot. One of the Dunn broth
the capture and lodged in the federal jail,
but in two days was turned loose.
The Dunns are lying very low. Their
house Is an arsenal and they expect raid
on them any night as Newcomb and
Pierce had many friends in that country.

NEW YORK, May "a dummy mortar
shell of rather insignificant proportions
fired from the proving grounds at Sandy
Hook during a series of experiments there
fell into the water near the passenger
steamboat AL Foster, which was returning
to this city from a fishing excursion at sea,
and besides giving her $50 passengers a
rude shaking up frightened most of them
into a panic.
Capt. Foster claims that the distance be-
tween the stern of his vessel and the spot
where the shell struck was no more than
fifty feet and his statement is corrobor-
Gted by the pilot and the passengers. As
the shell disappeared under water. the
Foster shivered all over as though she had
run upon rock. The passengers in mo-
ment were scramblins for places of safety
and shrieking in wild alarm. The engineer
of the Foster crowded on all steam and
got the boat out of range. No more shots
were fired from the Hook after that al
most fatal one.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May GA further reaction
in values this morning was only prevented
by continuation of the demand from Lon.
don, the volume of local business being TOD
small to overcome the reactionary senti-
ment of the room. Opening prices reflected
advances ranging from Is to 1-2 per cent,
but sold off slightly during the first hours
trading. Realizing that foreign buying
was disclosed at every fresh concession
the selling movement was abandoned and
prices gradually recovered. The weakness
of the foreign exchange market was again
pronounced as the result of liberal offer
ings of bills drawn against securities pur-
chased for European account. More gold is
expected to arrive during the week for
the account of the bond syndicate, which
will increase the total shipments of recent
date to upwards of s3.000.0O0. AS a specu-
lative influence there is nothing but en-
couragement reflected in the prevailing
tone of the exchange market, and indica-
tiers are favorable to continued improve
ment in this particular.
The trading Immediately following the
noon hour was the most active of the day,
and in almost every instance substantial
advances were recorded in values. The coal
stocks, particularly Jersey Central and
Reading, were the features during this
period, the former gaining 21a per cent
and the latter 3-4 on good volume Of
business. The higher-priced members of
this group recorded sharp advances, but
were not SO extensively traded in. The
grangers were in good demand at gains of
more than l per cent, as the result of the
anticipated improvement in crop conditions
and the consequent increase in revenues
Strong pools are said to be operating in
this class of securities, and unless some
sudden adverse developments are reported
their efforts are likely to prove successful
Western Union was in good demand at a
further advance of / Ia per cent, invest
ment and speculative purchases combining
to advance the price. The earning capacity
of this property is unquestioned and in
trinsic merit is in no danger of being sacri-
feed even at a very considerable advance
over prevailing prices.
The less active railroad issues we're strong
and generally at some advance in price, but
the stocks named above monopolized the
bulk of the trading.
Sugar was depressed / per cent to 113S
during the first hour, the result of mod
crate selling to take profits. During the
period of activity mentioned above the
large interests came into the market and
forced the price well up near 115. All of
the refneries are overstocked with orders,
and certain grades, in which the demand
has been most general, have been with
drawn from the market. Distillers sold
down l per cent during the morning, but
recovered later, in sympathy with the i'm
provement in sentiment. The company's

the last hour was active, but profit taking
in the active list detracted somewhat from
the best prices Of the day.

| to animals, and while they were telling of
| how the defendants horses were Strain1ng
| every nerve to pull a wagon load of brick
| up the Connecticut avenue hill car horses
| in front of the court were straining them
| selves in an effort to draw the heavy cars
up the Louisiana avenue hill. but no one
| molested the drivers.
Lawyer Thomas Jones. who appeared for
| Mr. Horne, examined one of the witnesses
about the car horses He said he had seen
| the car horses pulling very hard. but he
| said they do not pull as hard as the brick
wagon horses were pulling yesterday.
The proof was that there were $40 bricks
| on the wagon, and one of the bricks taken
| from the wagon weighed nine and a half
| pounds The wagon weighs 1,SDO pounds.
In addition to the alleged overlooking, the
| witness charged that the shoulders of the
animals We're sore and the harness rested
| on the raw places.
The defendant and his son gave evidence
| in the case and paid special reference to
| the sore shoulders of the animals.
They did not consider 1t cruel for the
! horses to draw the load of bricks up the
hill.

| tion of horses drawing heavy loads up hills
and spoke particularly of the hills just
| north of Florida avenue. The judge thought
that with such heavy loads a hill horse
should be used. There were two charges
against Mr.. Horne. and he paid fine of s.
