A SOUTHERN WARNING. Two Negroes LynChed
 in Georgia. Both Were Charged With HeinOuS Crimes. Hanged From a Tree and Rlddled With Bullets by the
 Mob.

COLUMBUS, Ga, June 1. This morning mob of 500 armed men broke into the Webster building during the trial of Jesse Slayton, charged with as- saulting Mrs. Howard Bryan last Thursday, and took the prisoner from the officers The mob forced the doors and with resistless rush swept back spectators and guards and seized and carried the negro out into the street.
 A rope was placed around Slayton's neck and he was dragged up Broad street. Near the bell-tower they swung the negro up and perforated him with bullets.
 After this the mob, as coolly and de- liberately as in the first instance, went immediately to the court house and overpowering the jailor took Will Miles, a negro, charged with assaulting g Mrs. Albright two years ago, and marched him slowly to where Slayton's lifeless body was hanging from tree. The trembling negro was made to look upon the fate of his brother in crime, then rope was placed about his neck and he was slowly suspended in the air and his body riddled with bullets.

Walter Belasco as Farmer Wilson" and Officer Ellis" sustained the char acters nobly. Miss Pauline Maitland as Robert Jackson" proclaimed that lady to be an actress of rare ability. Miss Kate Raymond made a most pleasing effect on the audience in her character of Blanche Wilson," the farmers daughter. She is a beautiful woman and has a most decidedly pleasing stage appearance. Last, but not least, is Pug" as impersonated by Frances Neaville, who was the pride of the audience. She is most clever and charming actress and on her first appearance it was plain to be seen that she will become favorite. She impersonated the character true to life and her acting as wild, untamed child of the mountains was captivat- ing.
 Jos Corcoran as Dr. Melchoir" was very good and showed him to be an actor of first-class ability.

THE TOM SCOTT SURVEY.
How the Proposed Santa Fe Line
 Would Reach Phoenix.

Solomonville Bulletin: The building of the Santa Fe line now proposed to run from Silver City, New Mexico, to California, would add a wonderful inn petus to the prosperity of Arizona, and it would give passengers passing from east to west over that line an oppor- tunity to view the garden spots of Ar izona, whereas those who have never seen Arizona except from the windows of Southern Pacific cars have only be- held barren waste, with no sign of life except here and there a herd of cattle. The original railroad survey made through southern Arizona and known as the Tom Scott Survey" came through by Duncan on the upper Gila and passing near Ash Springs, en- tered this valley just above Solomon vile. Had that route been adopted by the Southern Pacific the eastern idea of Arizona would not now be asso- ciated with a desert, for travellers over that line would have been transported through a garden spot from the time they entered Arizona on the east un- til they left it on the west. Of course the talk of this Santa Fe line is only speculation now, but when Engineer Vaughn passes over the proposed line through this valley and the vast min eral and cattle country between here and Florence, certainly he will be i'm pressed with the vast field for develop ing business for such a railroad.

The success of the Park Theater company Saturday night in "The Gold King was sufficient to draw another large house last night and like the audience of the first performance, everybody was perfectly satisfied with both the play and performers. It is safe to say that the theater from now on through the summer will be q pop ular resort.
 Gustave Neaville as Jack Redmond made the same hit that he made on Saturday night; Elwin Barlowe as Squire Mervine" was exceptionally good; Will H. Gregory in the dual roles of. Andre Mervine'' and Captain Wallace" pleased the audience, al though he was playing out of his line; Lincoln J. Plumer as Dennis O'Hara' captured the audience and on every en- trance was greeted with applause.

RIGHT OF WAY DISPUTE.
Knotty Problem That Is Before the
 County Supervisors.

The county board of supervisors met yesterday in regular monthly session. The regular bills engrossed the major portion of the time, though a hard fight was made by principals and at torneys against the grant by the super visors of right of way along county road south of the river, for several miles to N. M. Broadway, whereby he might construct to his farm a ditch taking water below the tail race of Hayden's mills at Tempe. The action was opposed by M Wormser, one of the heaviest property owners in the region along which the ditch will have to pass, and was supported by c. T. Hayden and others. The board took the matter under consideration. The case is peculiar. Broadway's ranch is one of the oldest in the Salt River val ley and to him is a decided priority of right on water, second perhaps to only the Salt River Valley canal. His head ing was far down the river, nearly south of Phoenix When the water be- gan to be taken out far up on the river the stream liberated for him was in itself too small to make it's way over the dry river sands of the summer, with the result that his ditch has for several months of the year been dry. He now seeks to go farther up the river with his ditch heading, to a point where the Hayden tail race delivers water to the older canals and thence bring the supply to which he is un- doubtedly entitled. His way would lie for much of the way over the many thousand acre farm of Miguel Worm ser, and to obviate the condemnation the supervisors have agreed to give him permission to run along county highway. This permission Wormsel contends can only be given by the owners of the land fronting the road and to that end will fight. Wormser's animus comes from the fact that Broadway's appropriation of water is somewhat at the disadvantage of the
 appropriation of the San Francisco canal, in which Wormser is principa
 owner.

GRAND CANYON CAVES.
The Discovery That Has Been Made
 North of Flagstaff.

Coconino Sun: The latest discovery that has been made in the Grand can yon will have the effect of materially adding to the interest and pleasure to be derived from a visit to this wonder full spot This is an enormous cave, or series of caves. with two openings about fifty yards apart, containing numberless compartments. It has not been fully explored yet, but one com partment has been found to be 1,500 feet long and two others 300 feet long. One cut is 250 feet high and seventy five feet wide, and the prismatic colors of the stalactite and stalagmite make those caverns truly wonderful and absorbing scene. The caverns lead in every direction under the mountains, and there is no doubt that as soon as geologists become acquainted with the fact that such cave is in existence crowds will attend to explore it's mys- teries.
 The new discovery is called the Stall actite Cave, and is very easily accessi- ble. The best way to get to it is by following the Cameron and Grand View trail, which is about three miles from the hotel, and from the rim tC ! the cave is three miles further. In ad- dition to exploring these catacombs the visitor is rewarded with what the name of the trail indicates grand view; nay, possibly the grandest view that has ever been vouchsafed to nor i tai to behold. All the grandeur anG magnificence of Arabian tales, witt their wonderful word painting, all tht poetry of imagination, fade into insig nifcance when contrasted with tha
 one view. It is superb, magnificent sublime. Human intellect canno
 grasp it's details, and language is tot poor to convey any idea of it's immens
 ity, it's grandeur and sublimity.

s'I want to say that first, last and all

tween Wall street and the United

Wall street in offering to sustain the
government on a gold standard Is far
cical. The bond issues and the manner
in which Fhey were conducted were
-manifestly unfair. The Wall street
agents, while processing the gravest
interest in the welfare of the govern

Europe to stealthily withdraw the gold
from the Treasury and thus compel adj

the interest on these bonds and who

a WISE AND LEARNED JUDGE.
Judge McSherry Strikes at Threats OF
Gold Men to Foreclose.

Harerstown, Md, Aug. f9.-Chief
Judge James McSherry delivered
notable charge to the grand jury OF
Frederick county Monday, which has
Naused a sensation all over the State OF
MARYLAND, because what he SAD ar
fects every voter in the State. Judge
NcSherrv referred to the new elections
law passed by THE recent Maryland
legislature, which provided Tor many
reforms in the conduct OF elections,
but which also provided for a reor-
oanization of the election machinery
and severe penalties for vote-buyers
and intimidators.
.,In calling attention to that part OF
v law which says that guilty persons
! ((yhyicted of intimidating voters shall
be punished by jail or penitenhary
Imprisonment, Judge McSherry sad;
s"rhe terms of this statute are broad
and sweeping. They cover, and were
intended to cover, every case that>oadl
possibly arise, and nhey were meant
to reach all species OF intimidation
which cunning ingenuity could mVene.
lit makes no difference IN what dls-
o,uise the intimidation, the threat
or other unlawful means resorted to
be clothed, and ii matters not how IN
directly the attempt to hlnueF Wue
voter from freely exercising the right
of suffrage be exerted, every device
is within the range of the statute, ana
a resort to any scheme will incur the
severest penalty prescribed.
IF a creditor threatens to call IN
his mortgage debt or TO demand pay
ment of n promissory note, or other
claim. unless the debtor shall vote az
the creditor wishes, the creditor there
bv make. himself amenable to the raw
Ii an employer threatens TO dlScharse
his employee, or to cut down his wages
unless the employee shall vote as the
EMPLOYER requires, the employer oy
that threat. no matter how covertiy
or Indirectly made or communicated,
renders himself liable, upon eonylc-
ton. to serve a term of five years III
the penitentiary, and it makes no diff
ference who the employer may be- lie
may be a private individual or an Of
ticer. agent, superintendent, boss OF
q e,ornoration, or OF a firm.
TT is thought the reference made by
Judge McSherry to the foreclosure OF
mortgages was evoked by the bhreat
of the gold men 10 call in their securl-
ties in anticipation of the free and IN
limited coinage of silver
