HANGED BY OHIOANS
NEGRO MURDERER LYNCHED BY A
MOB AT NEW RICHMOND.
WantOn Murder Of n Wealthy Old
Farmer Avenged by the People ON
the Spur of the Moment.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 21.-At New Rich
mond. o., twenty-five miles up the Ohio
river from Cincinnati, at o'clock this aft
ernoon mob took Noah Anderson, colored
from the jail and hanged him for the mur-
der of Franklin Friedman, nearly eighty
years old, and president of the First Ma
tional Bank, Of that place. Mr.. Friedman
is among the wealthiest men in Clermont
county. He owns a number of farms, and
lived at Clermontville. about two miles from
New Richmond. He was driving into New
Richmond shortly after noon to-day, when
he stopped at one Of his houses. Hitching
his horse at the dooryard, he went into an
adjoining field. where he was suddenly at
tackled by Noah Anderson, a muscular ne
gro. who had no weapon but his hands.
With these he quickly bore the aged banker
to the earth. and, then, clutching his throat,
literally choked his helpless victim to DEATH
Anderson then fed.
The news OF the shocking crime Travelled
swiftly, for everybody knew Mr.. Friedman.
1t was not long until Anderson was cap
tured and taken to the New Richmond Jail,
where great crowd quickly gathered An
derson made attempt to conceal his
crime. He gloatingly told all the details,
and said he had given the old man what he
deserved. 1t is said that Anderson was not
right in his mind and that one of his hall
lucinations was that Friedman had deprived
him OF large sum of money. The truth
is the two men had had no dealings to-
gether, as Anderson came TO New Rich
mond on a shanty boat only few months
ago. and claimed TO be paper hanger.
The crowd about the Jail soon became
wildly excited. as the negro's confession be-
came known, and cries Of Lynch him.
Hang the coward arose. rope was
brought, and the end seemed near. Promi-
nent citizens addressed the mob. imDloring
moderation. Anderson was in his cell on
his knees, crying for mercy. The marshal,
when a momentary lull came, attempted to
take Anderson to more secure Jail at Ba-
tavia, the county seat. No sooner did the
man appear outside the Jail than the mob
rushed at the marshal, and, seizing the
prisoner. bore him quickly to the nearest
tree, and in brief time he was dead

The Pacific Coast Naval Fleet.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2l.-There is consid-
erable activity in Pacific coast naval mat
ters Orders have been issued TO make as
rapid progress as possible in the repairs on
the Boston and Adams. both now at Mare
island. Work has been pushed also on the
Hartford, and the Philadelphia. which ar
rived from Honolulu a month ago, can be
made ready for sea in a very short time:
The Olympia, which has been ready for sea
for several days. and was expected to go to
the Asiatic station to relieve the Baltimore,
as flagship. is still at San Francisco, as no
explanation has been made why she does not
sail. II Is possible that she is held until the
other ships now undergoing repairs are
ready for sea- 1t is reported about the de-
partment that the work of repair is being
pushed In order to have vessels for the
southern Pacific ready in case there should
be actual hostilities between Peru and Boil
via. The Alert, now at Panama, could be
made available for service. and possibly the
Ranger, now at Guyaqul, but as long as
there is fighting in Ecuador 1t is probable
that the Ranger or some other vessel Will
be kept in that vicinity The Boston Is not
now in commission, and it will take a month
to get her ready for sea, while with the
Adams it will take still longer.

view, there will be at Vera Cruz, Paso Del
