At Sammy Stewards fish market on
Lisbon street the other day. n barrel of
big live green Holsters was turned out on
the floor preparatory tOSwashing some of
the big ones and putting them in the win
dow for sale. One old father lobster. over
two feet long was found and tossed out
of the pile. Mr.. Stewart went out into
the back room for {. minute and was
startled by n great rNtthng and rumpus
in the front shop. The giant mud turtle
that he has had about the shop for n few
days. evidently didn't like the salt water
fellows. and had snapped off leg from
the aldermanic lobster. He was about to
nip off another, when the green eyed
monster made n snap at him which sur
prised the old hero of Barkerville. The
turtles head was out of the shell several
inches when one of the angular arms of
the sea monster caught him by the throat
in death like grip The other claw
wrcstod with one of the turtles muscular
legs while the turtle caught the HOLSTERS
tail in its mouth and bit clean through
it. The spectators stood back and held
up their trousers legs while salt brine and
blood mingled on the floor. The turtle

the ocean depths with monsters more ter

Some Lynchins Statistics.
Macon, Ga. Telegraph.l

Since January /. 1897, there have been
81 cases of lynching in the United
States, an average of over twelve per
month. These have been divided out
by states as follows: Texas 10, Ala
bama II. Mississippi 10, Georgia and
Louisiana each, Tennessee Z, Florida
6. South Carolina, Kentucky and Ar
kansas each. Missouri 8, Virginia ?,
and Arizona and Maryland ! each. In
the North, California. Ohio, Nevada.
Alaska and Illinois have had each. OF
the victims of these 81 lynchings so
have been negroes, IA whites and In
dams. OF the so negroes lynched, 80
were killed for the crime of murder,
while but II have been killed for rape
and for attempting it. OF the re-
mainder have been lynched for rob-
berry, 3 for arson, 2 for suspicion of ar
son, for race prejudice, 2 for murder
Gus assaults, 2 for unknown causes, and
/ each for burglary, writing an insult
ing letter, clipping with a white woman,
train wrecking, refusing to give evil
dence. insults and harboring a muir
derer. s''
We perceive from all these statistics
that only about one-third of the lynch
ings have been the outcome of crimes
against woman. and that more men are
!ynched for murder than for rape. II
there were no lynchings at all for the
latter crime. the record would be
dreadful enough.

1t appears from the evidence brought
out at the investigation of the lynching
of the man who tried to aSSassinate
Diaz that the inspector of police had
the deed done and bought the knives
with which the miScreant was stabbed.
The inspector has been removed from
office but his Offense surely merits
harsher punishment. than that. In his
position, that of seeing that the law is
enforced, he is doubly guilty.
