report Brigadier General John r.
Brooks. commanding the department

Maryland Mob Allowed Religious
Services at Lynching.
LED BY THE SALVATlONISTS
Five Hundred Men Took the Negro, VINO
Protested Innocence. From the
Frederick Jail.

Frederick, Md, Nov. Thames Co
ings, who assaulted Miss Lille Jones at
the home of Hamilton Geisbert, near
this city, last night, was taken from
jail by mob of 500 men this morning
and hanged to d tree one mile from
the city. A report reached the city
about midnight that the woman had
died from cuts and blows received at
the hands of negro. A mob had been
gathering in the streets, and unmasked,
but armed with reyolvers, the men
marched to the Jail. They had nrevi-
ously broken into a machine shop in
the neighborhood Of the jail and pro-
cured sledges crowbars and files. They
made at once for the door Of the jail
and began to batter upon It, Fully 20
shots were fired from the windows
above it by Sheriff A. II. Zimmerman
and his deputies, but the mob paid no
attention to them and went on with
the 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 corridor. They
quickly overcame the slight resistance
the officers were able to offer on the in
side, and found the cell in which Co
ings, covering and crying, was con-
fined. The lock was opened, the bolt
swung back and the trembling wretch
dragged out in his night clothes and
stocking feet. In the meantime friends
of the lynchers on the outside had low
cred the electric lamp near the jail and
cut the rope from it, eXtingulshing the
light. Goings was led out amid the
>howls of the crowd, the rope placed
around him, and he was hurried down
the road to his place of doom. He pro-
tested his innocence as they dragged
him along, and begged them not to kill
him. He was promptly recognized by
a number of men who knew him, and
the mob did not hesitate in it's work.
Arrived a the tree, the negro was
asked to confess, but this he would not
do Two officers Of the Salvation Army
asked to be allowed to pray with the
man, and their request was granted.
The Lords Prayer was then repeated,
and the negro and most of the crowd
joined in, Goings feet and hands We're
dhen tied and rope was drawn around
his neck. A man seized the other end
of it, climbed a tree and threw the cord
over limb,
Let him go! was shouted, and quick
as a 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 a few minutes he
was dead.
The mob during the process of lynch
ing observed order; none were allowed
to fire at him except the one.
A member of the mob made a brief
speech, in which he said they were
there with an unfortunate wretch, not
in a spirit Of malice, but to make an
example of him and teach his race they
must let the women Of Frederick coun-
ty alone.
The assault for which Goings suf-
fered death was a cruel and dastardly
one.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN THE WRONG CAR
Money Was Their object, hut Only Mer.
chandse Was at Hnnd.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-Three desper-
ate men attempted last night to rob
the Adams Express money car on a
train leaving Jersey City at o'clock,
but fortunately for the company, they
got into a car which contained only
merchandise. The men boarded the car
at Jersey City and after the train pull
ed out pried the door open and secreted
themselves in the car. At Morseyille,
Pa, opposite Trenton, evidently be-
coming alarmed, they put on the air
brakes and brought the train to
standstill. The conductor and brake
men saw three men jump from the ex-
press car and run down the track and
across the field. On the floor Of the ex-
press car lay the contents of between
20 and 80 packages. Nothing had been
taken, the robbers evidently being in
search Of money, not merchandise.

LAUREL GROVE, July Is, 1895.
Nessrs. Editors AS our Central Com
mittes has made the call 20 Democrats to
meet al heir respective places OF voting on
SATURDAY. next, July Goth. in order to elect
delegates TO the "Leonardtown Conven-
tion," held the following Tuesday, July
23rd, and there select three other delegates
TO the State Generation, held in Baltimore,
July 3ls', to nominate Democratic cam
didate for Governor. il behooves every true
Democrat ofSt. Mary's TO heed the call of
the committee and convene at their voting
places on the day appointed.
Messrs. Editors, in order to be successful
this fall and carry our banner to victory, it
is necessary for al Democrats to lay aside
their political differences, if any they have,
and unite az one man, and send TO the
"Leonardtown Convention" none but true
Democrats, men who represent true De.
mocrncy, and upon whose judgment we
can rely, and they in turn will select
three delegates, on whose Democracy
there is no blot or blemlsh, but men who
have always stood firmly on Democrat
principles.
In sending such men to the "Guberna-
toria' Convention" in Baltimore, we could
safely depend upon them TO nominate q
man f9r whom not only the Democrats of
St. Mary's, bu, of the whole State would be
proud 20 vote. Let them do this and VIC
tory will be ours.
Come together, Democrats, and work
with will, not representing German De-
mocrscy, nor anti German Democracy, but
representing the principles of the Democrat.
| ic party.
Mess. Editors, speaking OF German, I
believe we now enjoy a good many things
that we would not have had had il 40. been
for German, one Of which will mention,
namely, freedom at the polls.
No one will deny that our right to vote
as we wished was preserved mainly through
the efforts Of A. p. German. 1.-THE co.
called Force Blu had become law, it
would, perhaps, be hardly worth while to
bold Democratic primaries or conventions
at az. for would we not AZ thsgeueraielecs
o. our backs and returning boards to pass
upon our votes ard manipulate them as
they saw fits
End that come to pass. where would be
our liberty today? Gone perhaps forever.
Nr. German saved us from that political
slavery, for which we should be thankful.
SO let rs be generous; perhaps we all
sometimes commit political sins. Let us
lay aside all differences, stand together,
work and vote for democratic principles
and victory viii surely follow. Remember
the old and true maxim, Omitted we stand,
divided we fall. Trusting that all true
Democrats will work faithfully together, 1
am, Yours, etc.
