TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Jesse SIayton and viii Miles Riddle ed
with Bullets and Hanged 10
Broad Daylight.

Columbus, Ca. June 1.-Two negroes
were hung to q tree In the middle OF
Broad street, the main thoroughfare Of
this oity, and riddled with bullets by
an infuriated mob at 10 o'clock this
morning. They were Jesse Slayton
and viii Miles.
Last Thursday Slayton assaulted
Mrs. Howard Bryan, a respectable
white lady Of this county. He was
captured that day and placed in Jail
before the crowd found him. This
morning he was carried to the Superior
court room for trial. He had been in
dicted and jury was being impanelled
when a mob rushed up the steps into
the court room. yelling and brandish-
ing rifles and pistols, seized the terri
fled man, threw rope around his neck
and dragged him hundred yards down
Broad street, riddling his body with
bullets at every step. The body was
then swung up to tree and left dang
ling there. The crowd then went to the
Jail after Miles, another negro, who in
the night time, about two years ago,
attempted crime on Mrs. Albright, a
lady of this city. The jailer pleaded
with the mob, but to no avail, and was
compelled to surrender Miles to save
bis life and the Jail from destruction.
He surrendered the keys and the
doomed man was led to where the body
of Slayton dangled. Miles was quick
ly swung up and his body riddled with
tried and convicted twice. and his case
had been twice sent back by the Su-
preme court on technicalities for a new
trial. His last trial resulted in a mis-
trial. and he was in Jail awaiting his
fourth trial

thing Is In readiness for the annual en-
campment Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic Of Pennsylvania, which meets
here on Wednesday morning. The town
Is one mass Of flags and bunting and a
royal welcome awaits the visitors. AL
ready they are coming in on every
train, and the town resembles the
scenes Of war times. Many have gone
into camp on South Second street.
Among those encamped are the Lambs,
Of Philadelphia; the Knight Hawks. Of
Columbia, and the Doves, Of Marietta.
They are today taking in the town.
Tomorrow several regimental re-
unions are to be held. which will bring
hundreds Of visitors to town. while on
Wednesday thousands will be here to
witness the parade.
Everything Is In readiness for the
state encampment of the Grand Army
cf the Republic, the Women's Relief
corps and the Ladies' circle. All the
state officers have arrived and opened
their headquarters. The number Of
visitors who arrived yesterday was
greatly augmented today, one train
bringing in over 500 from Wilkes Barre
and Easton Tonight the town is alive
with veterans. and cannons are being
fired continually.
Owing to the contest for commander
between Darte. of Wilkes Barre, and
Denworth Of Williamsport. which Is the
most bitter in the history of the Or
ganization, 1t Is said there will be a
larger attendance at this encampment
than at any former one. The friends Of
both candidates seem sanguine of sue
cess. The election will likely be held on
Thursday.

MURDERED BY A FIEND.
The Mutilated Body Of q Seventeen.
Old Child Found in the Woods
at Colebrook.

Lancaster, Pa, June 1.-The body Of
a child years old. chopped and mutt
lated in most horrible manner. was
discovered at ColebrOok. There Ia not
the least doubt but that the child was
murdered and then fendishly disnem-
bered In order to prevent identiflca-
tion. Colebrook Is very near the
boundary between Lancaster and Leb-
amen counties. Sunday school children
yesterday strayed away from their d.
rect road. and taking path in the
mountains made shocking discovery
They summoned the nearest neighbors
who, after removing the body to safe
place, notified the Lebanon county au-
thorities. They have made diligent
search for the relatives Of the child, but
thus far they have not found the slight
est clue.
The arms and legs Of the little one
were chopped off. The remainder Of
the body was wrapped In material such
as is used by furniture dealers in pack
ing goods. The body was badly decom-
posed. and the supposition IL that It
was secreted at least two months ago.

OF the questions which have been fired
at him so freely from all sides as to the

he said:
"The greatness of the American
people Is evidenced in nothing more
than In the interest they take in the

the next ten days In order to pen up
his show before the convention circus

in the footsteps of his father.
There Is no end of talk in Ohio about
Speaker Reed accepting the Vice. presi-

impatient to have the Maine man az q

is to nominate Reed by acclamation.
