Lynching In New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 20. Jim Hawkins,
colored, was arrested for assault and bat
terry on little white boy, but the main
charge against him was a general bad rep
utation, men both white and black having
a dread of him. The prisoner was placed
in the smaller jail In Gretna which is not
so secure. At ooclock in the morning,
while Hawkins was sleeping and no spe-
cial guard was being kept, there being no
rumor OF danger, a number Of masked
men suddenly appeared before the jailer,
and the attack was rapid, the door being
broke open. the prisoner secured, and in a
llioment he was In thecenter of the crowd.
The party met with no Interference and
halted about a mile above the little town
OH the bank Of the. river. The terror
stricken wretch was given a brief time
for prayer. He was then hanged TO a tree
near the batture. The body disappeared,
and it is not known positively what be-
came Of it. The impression is, however,
that it was thrown into the river.

HARTFORD, Sept. a5.-A large 1000
pound safe was cracked by masked bur
glars In the Office Of the Standard Oil COM
pany, at the northern terminus of Front
street. between the tracks of the Valley
railroad and the New England railroad,
this city. The door of the safe was blown
open and about 5000 in money taken.
Herbert +. Guinan, the watehmnn, slept
on cot bed near the safe. He said the
first thing he knew after he woke up was
that three men were standing before him
and three reyolvers were pointed at his
head Throw up your handsr' were tho
first words said.
Look out for his gunw exclaimed one
of the robbers, and ssGfch was made for
a revolver among the bedclothes But the
watohman had no revolver. Then the rob
bers looked around the room first piling
the bedclothos ON the watchman, who was
all the time covered with the robbers re-
volvers
The strangers had a candle, which they
used for light One of them suggested
that it was no place for the watohman in
bed, so they ordered him to get up and
dress himself, which he did. sheet off
the bed was torn in strips and the watch
man gagged. He was then searched and
the keys of the several buildings taken
from his pockets. He was next led to tho
barn, the door of which was unlocked

The Watchman Bound.
The watchman was made fast to a post
In the middle Of the floor on the first
story. A blanket was spread on the floor
and the watchman was seated on the
blanket with his back to the post Then
he was tied with ropes and straps taken
from a harness and bound to the post his
arms first being pinioned to his Sides He
was threatened with harm If he made a
sound or attempted to escape. One of the
robbers was detailed to watch him, and
the other two returned TO the Office and
began working on the safe.
1t seemed a long time before the watch
man heard the explosion. When the ex-
plosion occurred, the robber who had re-
mained with the watchman left him and
probably joined his companions About
half past Guinan succeeded in liberating
himself and hastened to the police station.
Policemen were sent in all directions,
but the burglars are still at liberty. They
left part of their tools behind James L.

CECIL GRAND JURY SAYS THE
GOOD NAME OF THE COUNTY Is
DISGRACED.


GOOD NAME OF THE COUNTY IS
DISGRACED.
ELKTON. Nd, Sept. 25.-Cecil
county grand jury which has been in
session since Monday, adjourned yes
terday. Speaking OF the race tracks
now in operation, the jury said that the
system of gambling on the several race
tracks established here for that pur-
pose by certain corporations, by which
the good name of Cecil county is
brought into disgrace, demands the
posI,ive condemnation of all citizens.
Inc jury brought in two indictments
against Thomas Dycer, for unlawful
gamDnng and making books and pools
on the result of a race of horses on
the grounds of the Keystone Racing
Association, of Cecil county. and one
against William StonehOuse for the
same offense. States Attorney William
5. Evans states that he will push the
cases, and it is understood that this
will be n test case whether or not
gambling can be carried on all the year
long in the county. The race people
were greatly surprised at the action of
the grand jury, many thinking the
charge of Judge Stump on Monday was
only for effect.
