REPORTED LYNCHING.
Eight Men Reported to Have Been
Eynched in Southern Arkansas,
But the Report Has Not Been
Verified.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug, 25.-If the re-
port which reached here this morning
from Cleburne county are true, eight men
have been lynched there. One negro
rapist was burned in his home by deputy
sheriffs Sunday night, and Tuesday morn
ing the lifeless body of the negro's mur-
derer was found dangling from railroad
trestle near Pine Bluff. Last night six of
the murderers companions in the crime
were lynched. All efforts to verify this
report have proved futile. The lynch
ings result from riot which occurred at
the negro picnic on Saturday, in which
two white men were terribly cut. 7. T..
johnson, a prominent white man, died of
his wounds.

vincial elections took place yesterday,

and children fought each other to get
the largest share of the spoils. The
surf was dotted with men up to their
shoulders in water, struggling with
rakes, picks and bare hands for cases
of salmon and barrels of wine. The

Victims of Divine Wrath.
New York, May 12.-The journal to-
day publishes the following: Earth
quakes are shaking the islands of
Guadelope and Montserrat, of the Lee
ward group in the West indies. The
cable q few days ago reported that q
number of persons had been killed at
Guadelope. Details were supplied by
the Quebec liner Madiana, which ar
rived here yesterday from the Leeward
Island ports.
When the steamer reached Antigua,
40 miles from Guadelope, on May /,
every one in port was discussing the
shocks. The heaviest had occurred two
days before when so colored people
had been killed outright by being bur-
led in the ruins of their houses. In a
brick church congregation of 200 peo-
pie were caught by the collapse of the
walls and so crushed to death. Those
in the streets saw the houses sway
back and forth and the walls of the
brick structure crack. The report also
said that rs or 30 people had lost their
lives at Point-aPitre. Twelve brick
houses in Gaudelope had been demolsh-
ed and scores of others cracked and
scanned by the shocks.
From Antigua the Madiana steamed
to Montserrat, arriving there on May
2. There, too a state of terror existed.
The island was rocked like boat at
sea on April 30. Six houses We're de-
stroyed, but no lives lost. This island,
before the earthquake, had not been
noted for the piety of its people, but,
while the Madiana was in that port
meetings were held at short intervals
in all Of the churches, which were
crowded with worshiDpers. The in
habitants firmly believed that it was
on account Of their iniquities that they
had been visited by earthquake shocks.
and that if they did not turn they
would all be utterly destroyed.

NEW CASTLE NEWS.
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,
New CASTLE, May 12, 1897.

John NJ. Burke served q sentence for
burglary of Gibney's clothing store in viii.
mington. Then he left the jail by the
front door, went to West Chester and for
another job spent a time behind the bars.
He returned to Wilmington and broke
into the office at Applebys Hay Market
| and took quantity Of clothing.
he was sentenced to two years in jail
and completed one year and eight months
of his time when he felt that 1t was time
to leave for other parts. Among the cells
at the Jail receiving the spring cleaning
process was the one in which Burke was
confined
Yesterday at noon he took walk in tho
east yard and about L. 10 o'clock his am.
bition prompted him to use rope and hook
to climb to the top of the Jail building.
When once there he divested himself Of
his jail clothing and jumped from the top
of the jail wall. AS the distance was thirty
feet his feet sank over six inches in the
soft earth.
Burke lost no time in walking to the
edge of town where he boarded a trolley
car for Wilmington. Two ladies who were
standing on Third street saw the man
when he diyested himself of his clothing
and jumEed off the wall. They notified
the people at the Jail but there was no one
to go Oh hunt.
This shows the necessity Of another jail
warden. The telephone service was out of
order and no connection could be made
with Wilmington. The prisoners in the
burn" cell saw the man when he made
his escape.
Frank King while handling q cake Of
ice yesterday had bone in his right ankle
broken by being struck by board,
James NJ. Phillips has returned homo
from visit to Darlington Heights, Va.
1t is interesting to hear Mr.. Phillips tell
about the monuments and graves at that
place.
A special meeting of City Council was
held last evening.
The Legislature yesterday defeated tho
bill to build state workhouse aud New
Castle will still have the Jail for few
years more.
An effort is being made to secure the
Rogers Woods for park.

WILL THE TURKS DECLINEs


Reported Movement of Troops Which
would Indicate Obstlnacy.
London, May IA dispatch from
Constantinople says: 1t is reported
that orders have been sent out for the
mobilization of the Fifth and Sixth
army corps reserves, stationed at Bag
dad and in Syria, and for the immcdi-
ate dispatch of so battalons to Konieh,
from which point they will be taken to
Ismeed, in Asia Minor.
These preparations, which involve an
expense that Turkey is quite unable to
bear, cannot be required against
Greece, and they excite anxiety, as in
dicating that Turkey Is preparing
either to confront a more formidable
foe or to place herself in such a strong
position that she will be able to ignore
the powers and their plan of mediation.
Three staff officers have been sent
to the depots of the Fourth army corps
at Erzeroum and ErZingen to report
whether there is a sufficient supply
Of arms and equipments to mobilize
the reserves of that corps.
