LYNcHED TWO NEGROES.

Alleged Murderers Of White Man
p +5} Strung UP III ArxaDsas.
CAMDEN, Ark, July l5.-About mid
might at. Hampton, 30 miles east of
here, two negroes were mobbed by IS
men. Two weeks ago q white man
named Martin was killed by three ne
groes. Two of them were arrested and
confined in Jail. "A mob marched to
the Jail and demanded Of the sheriff
the surrender of the murderers. It was
useless to resist such force with but a
handful of men to summon to his aid,
so the keys were delivered to the mob.
The culprits were carried to the neigh
boring forest and hanged to the trees.
The men were not masked and made
no effort to conceal their identity. Two
years ago race riot occurred in Cal
houn county. The negroes greatly
outnumber the, whites and further
trouble is expected.

Considerable Property Damaged at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, La.
COUNCIL BEUFFs, Ia, July l5.-The
collapse of an artificial reservoir con-
tanning large quantity of water, at
the corner OF Main and Sixth streets,
destroyed considerable property and
probably fatally injured J. A. Kellar,
an engineer. The theory advanced by
some members of the fire department. is
that the constant Earring of the engines
and, perhaps, the movement OF the
water gradually weakened the walls Of
the building.
At noon the neighbors for block
around were startled at a crash and
found that the walls of the engine
room for distance Of perhaps 20 icet
lay with hardly one brick on top Of
another. The roof had caved in and
the reservoir was pouring out its con-
tents in flood. So suddenly did the
crash come that Engineer Kellar did
not have time to got out. A big iron
pipe fell in such way as to make a
sort of archway over him. He was
nearly drowned by the flood. His
body is mass Of bruises from head to
foot.

Deputy.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., July 15.-Quite q
sensation was sprung in the circuit
court in Butte county by the discovery
that during the trial Of the Giles muir
der case the bailiff had been furnishing
the jurors with whisky. Orlando Giles
was murdered over year ago and a
man named Dawson and Mrs. Giles
We're indicted for the murder. Dawson
was tried first, convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life. During the
trial of Mrs. Giles the above discovery
was made, which will doubtless result in
getting new trial for Davidson. Judge
bowman is presiding over the court
and his Indignation was great. He
summoned the bailiff who admitted the
charge and sentenced him to 10 days in
Jail for contempt Of court. The judge
said while giving vent to his displeas.
ure, 1.-The saloons, not content to run in
open violation of the laws Of the state,
invade the precincts OF the court with

man has sent to Deadwood for blank
injunctions, which he will sign and
have every saloon in Belle Fourche
closed until after court adjourns.

Everything in the Path Of the Storm De-
molished.
HACKENsACK, N. j., July 15.-Dur-
ing the day between 10000 and $4,000
persons visited the scene of Saturday s
cyclone at Cherry Hill. Viewed in the
light of day the ruin appeared more
complete. Everywhere in the path OF
the storm was ruins. The tangled heap
Of mbers by the railroad track told
where the depot went to pieces. A pile
of wreckage showed where a house had
been thrown down and another where
a barn had been RACED by the winds.
The leafless trees that withstood the
strain of the. whirlwind gave the ap.
pearance OF midwlnter. Three were
killed in the storm. They are Conrad
Frelderman, the Aherns baby and ALI
ton Fischer. Mrs. Aherns was also
injured, but will recover. -
In addition to the wreck in Cherry
Hill, almost every house along the river
from that place to River Edge was
damaged to some extent. The build-
ings blown down in the village of
Cherry Hill were valued at about $780,
600, but this is but a small part of the
aCtual loss,

DETROIT, July ia special to The
Free Press from South Haven, Mich,
says: During the afternoon H. Tits
worth took his new yacht Artist out TOR
her trial trip in company with the
builders, Messrs. Coats and Stillson.
When about four miles north of the
harbor squat struck and capsized her.
The lifesaving crew went out immedi-
ately, and soon after the tug Mcclure.
but the yacht was so far away that the
men were all drowned before the crew
could reach them. All that was found
was a cap which proved to have be-
longed to Mr.. Stillson. The reason for
the boat sinking so quickly was the
fact that she held a great amount of
ballast which could not be shifted, and,
as being new, they had not yet put in
any air cans to buoy her.

BAD FOR LIBERALS
l1arcourt's Defeat in Derby
x Admitted to Be a Very
Poor Beginning.
HAS A DEPRESSING INFLUENCE.
Size of the Conservative Ma
jority Is Something Un-
preCedented.

LONDON, July 15.-Sir William Har-
courts defeat in Derby was the sensa-
ton in political circles. It is admitted
on all sides that the Liberals are begin
ming very badly. OF no members thus
far elected, SO are Unionists, 10 Liber-
ais and Parnellites. Eight Liberal
seats have been captured by the Union
lists and the Radicals have captured one
Unionist seat that at Perth. The
moral effect of Sir William Harcourt's
defeat will be great as even the most
sanguine Conservative did not expect a
Liberal majority of 1900 to be con-
verted into a Unionist majority of
LOO.
Balfour's Increased Majority.
While Sir William Harcourt Jared so
badly, Hon. A. J. Balfour, the new
first lord of the treasury, who is to sue
coed Sir William as leader of the house
of commons, nearly doubled his major
ity in Manchester. After the result
had been announced in Derby at mid
night, Sir William Harcourt, with his
wife, drove to Liberal headquarters
and made a speech in which he said
tudt 10 Astu UoeA uo4eateu VOo o40oA w
be either elated il successful or de-
pressed by the reverse, but he did not
wish to conceal the magnitude of the
defeat which had fallen upon his COL
league and himself. Sir William
Harcourt's defeat is generally attrib-
uted to the prominence which he gave
to the local veto or local option meas.
ure.
Looks Bad for Liberals.
The Sunday Observer (Unionist)
points out that Saturdays returns OF
unopposed candidates are as significant
as the results of contested elections.
Seventy-six seats had been handed over
to the Unionists without fight, while
the Liberals were allowed to retain
only five seats. The Parnellite total OF
unopposed returns has been in
CREASED to four by the uncontested
election of >John Daily from Limerick.
Thus the McCarthyites have yielded
without contest seat of which they
were in actual possession. Judged
both by the result Of the contest and
the numbers which the Radicals had
allowed to go by default, there can be
but little doubt OF the final result.
