Florence, Ala, July 16.-Near West
Point, Tenn, Tuesday afternoon Miss
Rene Williams was found brutally
murdered in the woods near her home.
Yesterday afternoon Anthony Williams,
her murderer and ravisher was cap
tured near Pruitton, and last night ex-
plated his crime in the streets of West
Point in the presence of 500 people.
Williams was riddled with bullets and
his body burned. Before a shot was
fired the negro was knocked down and
stamped to death. The crowd fell back,
and those who had pistols fired volley
after volley into him. The crowd then
gathered wood. and, building fire over
him watched the chastity scene until
the murderer was only ashes.
For two days and nights 500 men,
armed and determined, had secured the
country for miles. Several times pos
ses were within shooting distance Of
him, but he escaped Williams was
captured within 16 miles of the scene
of his crime. A man named Clark, to
whom he applied for tobacco, held him
for the crowd. Williams was first traced
to Iron City. where he traded the young
lady's belt to a negro woman for a
nights lodging. He was later seen at
Pruitton, and several shots were-fired
All trace of him was lost until yester-
day afternoon, when searchers came
upon him three miles south of Pruitton.
He had been in the woods, without
food, for over two days, and running
most of the time, SO that he was ex-
hausted
The crowd quickly took him back to
the scene of his crime, tied him to the
same tree to which he had tied his
victim, and there gave him tortur-
ing death. The mob was composed of
substantial men. Williams victim was
shortly to have been married to
young man in Nashville. Her intend
ed husband came down from Nash
vile yesterday, and was at West Point
to meet the crowd of avengers and
assist them.
The young lady left her home early
Tuesday morning to pick berries.
When she did not return fof csIner.
her friends went in search of her. She
was found dead and tied to a sapling
with leather strap around her neck.
One of her eyes had been gouged out.
and in her tightly clutched hand were
leaves and grass. All around the
ground showed that terrible strug-
gle had taken place. When the negro
was captured his face and arms were
terribly torn.

= Pittsburg. July l6.-FUTelsh coal[is
beginning to cut quite Il figure in the
sPittsburg market. and the miners Off
cisls recognize its Importance. They
Are. for the time being. satisfied with
the small amount of coal that is being
dug In the Pittsburg district. and from
now on will look after what they term
outside encroachments. Much coal is
being sold in the Pittsburg market
from the Clearfleld and Cambria dis
tricts. 1t Is true that 1t does not come
to Pittsburg, but goes to fill the con-
tracts made at the great lakes.

make them see the error Of their ways

LAS far as the Pittsburg district
proper is concerned, we have every rea-
son to be satisfied with the situation.
It must be borne in mind that when
but Il few men are in the mine 1t Is not
fair to class it among the active list
Ehe fact is. II Is impossible to produce
coal at a profit In the large mines with
only a few mon at work l have hopes
Of yet being able to get the New York

The local officials are manifcGting
much interest in the situation in West
Virginia. Cameron Miller said today
that he would be willing to wager that
most of the miners Of the mountain
state would be out before the end Of
the week. He said there were about
rs, 900 miners in that state, and II the
organizers succeeded In getting 10000
Of them out the battle could be con-
sidered won.
According to tho miners officials. the
operators have closed the company
stores all over the district. and sup
piles to men have been cut off. This
leaves the miner dependent upon the
fruits Of forage and charity. In one
or two agricultural communities, where
