There is an interesting fight on between
the smelters at Omaha and the lead ore
people of the states west who keep this
establishment going The smelling works
at Omaha are the largest in the country,
and Senator ThursSon and Editor Rose
water OF the Omaha Bee, are their especial
champions. They claim that a heavy
duty on lead ores will make it impossible
for the smelters to conduct their establish
ments. in which many hundreds of thou
sands or Gollays have been invested. and
they are making heroic fight to put the
duty down. The miners of the Western
States hold, on the other hand. that unless
the House rates are increased the mines
cannot operate. Senators Carter, shoup
and Mantle are making the fight for the
miners, and contend that even with the
increased duty fixed by the Senate com
nittee il will be difficult for the mines
to be worked at a profit.

Judge Showalter Renders Decision in the
Thrse-Cent Law.
Indianapolis, July 22.-Judge Sho
walter of the Federal court today
sent down from Chicago his decision
on the Scent street car fare law. He
sustains his former opinion and holds
the law to be unconstitutional. His
former decision held that the law ap-
plying to Indianapolis only purport-
ing TO fix street car fares at cents
was void. He granted an injunction
restraining city and state officers from
inforcing the law and the company
from Obeying it.
Another appeal involving the law
was carried from Marion county court
to the state supreme court. This
court by unanimous decision held the
law to be constitutional. City and
state officials are not disposed to &C
cept Judge Showalter's decision as
final, but will see what further can be
done in the courts.

TAKEN FROM TRAIN,
HUNG AT GRIFFIN.
Oscar Williams, Negro Ravisher,
Meets the Usual
Penalty.
WOULD HANG THE MAYOR, TOO.
Nine of the LynChers Disguised
Being Carried to
Atlanta.

Atlanta, July 22.-Oscar Williams,
the negro who committed an assault
upon the daughter of Henry county
farmer last week and was transferred
to the Macon Jail tor safekeeping, was
taken from the Central railroad train
on which he was being brought to At
lanta at Griffin this morning and
lynched. Williams was pursued
through four counties by hundreds of
armed and infatuated men Immediately
after the commission of the crime, but
managed to escape. He was finally
captured by farmer at GAINESVILLE
and hurried to Macon, in whose jail it
was thought he would be safe.
Excitement in his case was supposed
to have subsidized until last night when
rumoEs reached Macon that an effort
would be made by, a mob from the
neighborhood of the crime to take the
negro out ofjall. The police reserve
and military were called out to protect
HIM. TO make sure of safety, however,
the officials decided to remove the pris-
Oner to Atlanta.
They started on the Central railway
train leaving Macon at APO O'Clock.
At Griffin, A miles from Atlanta, near
the scene OF Williams crime. a mob
boarded the tram, took the negro from
his guard, marched HIM through the
principal business street of the town
to a point 200 yards outside the corpo-
rete limits, where they hung him to a
small oak tree. His body was then
riddled with bullets. None of the
members of the mob, which numbered
$50, was disguised and their names are
known.
The mob declared that if they had
Mayor HOguelly of GAINESVILLE, who
saved Williams from being lynched
last week. they would lynch him, too.
Macon's authorities tried to unload
the prisoner upon Atlanta beca use he
was costing Bib county about $50
day. Every cent of that amount ca me
out of the county treasury, Twelve
men were kept on guard at the Jail
constantly and the men had to be pro-
vlded for at night in the way of coffee
and lunches. Not only was it expen-
sive, but the officials of the Jail were
in an anxious state all the while lest
an attempt would be made to lynch
williams. Williams was a doomed
man the moment he left Macon. The
man who captured him and carried
him to Macon struggled him through
the country and did not dare put him
on the train.
The cOrOner's jury was empaneled
from among the citizens of Griffin.
They sat over the body of Williams
and rendered a verdict to the effect
that the negro "Came to his death at
the hands of parties unknown" Not
single witness was examined.
