THE USUAL PUNISHMENT
Melted Out to Charles Johnson,
Colored.
ATTEMPTED AN ASSAULT
On Young School Girl at Woodstock, Who
Fought Him Off.
CAPTURED BY AN ANGRY MOB
And After Being Identified and Confessing,
Was Strung Up-Mob Law Reigns at
Mayfield, Ky.-Raid on Worth
less Negroes-Fatalitics.

Woodstock, Dec 22.-(Special.) = One
of the most daring and dast-
ardly deeds in the annals of crime
was committed in our community yes
terday morning at o'clock. The victim
of the fiendish deed was Miss Fannie
Smith, aged ID, a light-hearted school
girl, while on her way to school. Miss
Smith is an orphan girl raised in the
family of Mrs. I. S. Hayes, mother OF the
late Judge Hayes.
While within less than one hundred
yards of Professor Hayes front door, a
mulatto negro of medium height, SEEM
ingly about 35 or 40 years old, assaulted
her. He was hid behind a tree, and as
she passed he leaped out, and with one
blow knocked her down. He then jump
ed upon her, clasped one hand over her
mouth and with the other began tearing
off her clothes. Although only IA, Miss
Smith is large and very stout for her
age. She fought him, pulled his hand off
her mouth and screamed. Little Willie
Mason, who was just behind also ran
screaming to the house.
The fiend, after striking her several
times in the face and bruising her dread
fully about the neck and face, left her.
AS he left he snatched up her dinner
in the scuffie.
The news spread like wild fire. Within
fifteen minutes Professor Hayes captured
one negro answering the description, but
when he was carried before the young
lady she promptly said he was not the
man. Some negro women saw the man
and told which way he went
At 10 o'clock he passed the saw mill at
Terrapin Shell Gap. He was next seen
near Kimbrel postoffice.
Late in the afternoon he was captured
near McCalla, few miles below Bes-
semer, not, however, till he had been
shot at a number of times, one of which
shots brought him down.
After being brought to Woodstock he
confessed to being the guilty party.
When carried before Miss Smith she
promptly said THAT is the man who
knocked me down, tore my clothing and
beat me. He made these cuts and bruis-
es you see on my facep'
The crowd then dispersed. Shortly af-
ter midnight the crowd returned, took
him from Deputy Sheriff Large and hung
him to a tree in the most prominent
part of the town.
All our citizens, both black and white,
approve of the summary way in which
justice was meted out to this fiend in
carnate.
We are law-abiding citizens, do not
hesitate to punish such demons swiftly
and surely, order to protect the sancti-
ty of our homes, and virtue of mothers,
sisters and daughters.

TWO ST. PAUL BANKS
Close Their Doors-The Situation Clear
to a Receiver.

Close Their Doors-The Situation Clear
to a Receiver.
ST. Paul. Mimi. Dec. 22.-State Bank
Examiner Kenyon this morning took Of
fetal possession of the books and assets
of the Bank of Minnesota, closing its
doors pending a thorough investigation
of its affairs. The bank has been in need
of ready cash for some time. At meet
ing of the clearing house at noon the
bank was formally suspended upon the
report of the banking committee. A
special committee has also been ap-
pointed by the clearing house commits
sion to prepare a statement for the pub
lie. This committee, in advance of its
statement, informed representative of
the Southern Associated Press that the
bank would undoubtedly resume busi-
ness in a short time and protect all of its
creditors in full. The directors are all
men of wealth and property interests,
and they have signified willingness to
meet the requirements of the OCCASION.
The bank of Minnesota was establish
ed In 1852, and was capitalized at $780,
O0O It's stated surplus was 100000 and
it is the general belief that as soon as
cash can be realized upon its many Sc
curties the institution will be all right.
The officers of the bank are: William
Dawson, president; Robert A. Smith,
cashier.
The directorate comprises the leading
men of the city. The bank has been
the depository for the city treasury of
st. Paul and at present carries $4,000
deposits of the city's public funds.
The state also is a large depositor in
the bank covered by heavy bonds, and Is
fully protected. The city treasurer drew
out a large sum on last Monday and
about $4,000 would have been required
shortly after January l. A constant
stream of curious people has been to the
scene Of the trouble all morning and the
subject is the talk of the commercial
centers of st. Paul.
The bank was not a national one, but
was organized under the state bank
ing act. 1t has always been rated as one
of the strongest financial institutions in
respondents and a direct line of ex-
change in the leading cities of the Unit
ed States Its deposits run into the mil
Hons yearly.
William Dawson, Jr, cashier of the
bank, said: 1.-The cause Of our suspen-
sion was inability to meet severe situa-
tion on account of depressed times for
the past year, especially Of the past few
months We applied to the bank ex-
aminer to close, who is now in charge.
The state of Minnesota was the heavi-
est depositor and intended to make a.
draft on us for $4,000 next Monday. The
state has $4,000 in the bank"
AS a, result of the failure Of the Bank
of Minnesota the Union Stock Yards
Bank also closed its doors.
The Dawsons, senior and Junior, are
president and vice president OF the
Union Stock Yards bank also. $50
The Bank of Minnesota was the de-
pository for the county and until re-
Gently Was the main bank through which
city business was transacted A. r.

ing beyond the reach of mob law and

vengeance on the body of Stone started
last night to weed out the notorious

sort run by Tom Chambers. Tom opened
fire and repulsed the attacking party.
Boleyn was dangerously, and others
slightly wounded. A second attempt to
storm the house was successful. Cham
bers escaped but the building, with a
wholesale beer house, which operated in
violation of the local option laws, and
other buildings tenated by rough ne
groes, were fired and destroyed.

groes fled in every direction. One man
was captured and severely whipped. A
dancing master, suspected of crooked

parent property. II will be recalled
that two weeks ago ]. Kirkner. a member
of the stock exchange, was suspended for
year for refusing to show his books to
the governing G ,mittee. Kirkner. 1t

Milp = and Benefits Upward of
r. Thousand Employees.

Washington, Dec. 22-The spectators
who had assembled in large numbers in
the senate galleries today in expectation
of witnessing interesting scenes and of
listening to an exciting debate in connec-
tion with the Cuban question were dis
appointed, the only thing that came up
having any relation 10 that subject at all
being a resolution of inquiry, as to the
circumstances attending the death of an
American citizen said to have been
hacked to pieces by Spanish soldiers" In
the island of Cuba. Mr.. Vest did not call
up, as he had given notice that he would,
his resolution for an inquiry as to the
constitutional question presented by the
secretary of state in his press statement
touching the power of the President to
ignore a joint resolution of congress di-
recting him to recognize the independ-
ence of the republic of Cuba
The morning hour, in which that sub
ject might have been discussed, was oc-
cupied by Mr. Morgan in a long speech
against the Pacific railroad funding bill
and in favor of the government taking
possession of those roads, which, he con-
fended 1t was it's right and duty to do
whenever default In payment of the bonds
occurred. The subject came up on res
olution of Mr.. PettigreW trep., S. ID with
reference to the 6 per cent. notes of the
Union Pacific Railroad company, which
he asserted were to be used so as to in
jure and destroy the security Of the gov
eminent for the debt due to 1t by the
company. The resolution was referred
to the committee on Pacific roads, whose
chairman, Mr.. Gear (rep., Ia). declared
his purpose to ask action on the funding
bill Immediately after the holidays.
The urgency deficiency bill was passed
and was Immediately returned to the
house for concurrence in the amendments
agreed to in the senate. Mr.. Butler (pop.,
N. Co. offered a resolution for committee
of three senators to inquire into the prin-
ciple of legislation through the initiative
and referendum. Referred to the COM
mittee on contingent expenses.
At 2:40 p. m. the senate went into ex-
ecutive session and shortly thereafter adj
journed until Tuesday, Jan. 5.

DISPERSED BY THE GENDARMEs.

Madrid Dec. PA small band of men
carrying a republican flag assembled to-
day at Novelda, province of Alicante,
and when called upon to disperse by the
gendarmes, refused to do so. They were
again ordered to disperse, and upon their
second refusal the gendarmes fired on
them, killing seven of them. The 9TH
ers then fled precipitately, but the gend-
armes pursued and captured several of
them. A search was made of the lodg-
ings of the prisoners, and q number of
dynamite bombs were found
The police are at loss to decide
whether the assemblage was for the pur-
pose Of making a demonstration of SYM
pathy for the anarchists sentenced Sat
urday at Barcelona or whether it was
a manifestation of republicanism.
The finding of the bombs tends to make
them believe the men are anarchists.
