NEGRO MURDERER LYNoHED

Swung TO the Limb of Tree and His
Body Riddled With Bullets.
BLUEFIELD CIV. Va), Jan. 2S.-
Alexander Jones, negro desperate,
boarded a passenger train at keystone
last night, under the influence of
whisky and very quarrelsome. He be-
came much incensed when an attempt
was made to eject him and pulled two
revolvers and began firing promiscu-
ously
w. H. Strother, the Postmaster at
Elkhorn, was shot through the abdo-
men and killed. Conductor Mccullough
was shot in the SIDE but not seriously
injured, and Peter Rice (coloreO was
shot through the right breast and prob
ably fatally injured.
Jones was incarcerated in Elkhorn
jail to await the arrival Of train to
convey him to Huntington for safe
keeping. The train arrived at a. m.
and the officers, with their prisoner,
boarded it without molestation.
Meanwhile a mob had been organized
at Weleh, fifteen miles west of Key
stone. AT Hemphill. a small station
one mile west of Welch, the train was
fiaggeu and the mob, numbering 100
men, boarded it and dragged Jones to a
tree, where he was swung to a limb
and his body riddIed with bullets. The
following note was attached to the
body:
This deed was done for the purpose
of example and of warning the negroes.
So beware
Jones, it is alleged, killed three men
prior to his last offense.

just opened her seams The pumps
were manned. but they soon choked
with coal and became useless. Then
the men got buckets and bailed for their
lives. The water gained inch by inch,
and finally the coal went overheard and
then the costly arms and ammunitionS
1t broke our hearts to throw these arms
away, but we had to keep the vessel
afioat somehow. Gradually the Haw-
kins settled down, and at II 80 o'clock
on Monday morning we took the life
boats and deserted the sinking steamer.
Half an hour later the Beebe hove in
sight and took us on board. AT the time
the Hawkins went down she was forty
five miles South-Southeast of Barnegat,
and the sea was very wild"
Captain Denyze said that the men
saved nothing but two valises filled
with United States bank notes.
CONFLICTING STORIES.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-One member
Of the crew Of the Hawkins that was
picked up by the Beebe was the mate,
Crowley. He declared that all the men
were saved and that not a man was
even injured. When the Beebe picked
the men up they were in doub1e-end
whaleboats, which could live in any
sea- Two other schooners were in the
vicinity at the time, and, according to
Crowley, they must have picked up the
other men safely.
After the gunner had been landed by
the Dalzell at pier s, North River, she
proceeded up the river to the foot of
West Forty second street, where the
other sixty-nine filibusters disem-
barked.
At the headquarters of the Cuban
Junta in this city it was declared by the
leaders tonight that the Hawkins was
not a filibuster, as far as they knew.
They said the story was started by
Pinkerton men because they had been
unable to catch the Garcia party, and
declared that Garcia was and has been
in this city for some time past.
Many shipping men do not believe
that the Hawkins was a filibuster
They think she was a boat bought by
the Cuban Junta to throw the Spanish
off the track of the real filibusterers,
which will soon be heard from at dis
tant point in Cuba.
A batch of about twenty-five of the
rescued men arrived late tonight on
a train from Boston. Among them
were Antonio Maria Caina, who is
sbrother of a lawyer in this city. He
estimated the loss of men at from six
to nine. He could not give any of their
names.

but the one upon which the commit

that which contemplates the payment
