WHO ATTEND LYNCHINGS.
Editor Blackburn, of Atlanta, Replies
to Some of His Northern Critics.

Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-The Atlanta
Commercial, of which Benjamin NJ.
Blackburn is the editor. is out in reply
to the criticism made on his advocacy
of lynching by the New York newspa-
pers. He says:
The people of the north are bigger
fools than we take them to be if they
accept as correct reflection of public
sentiment in the south the professions
of certain papers on the lynching ques-
ton The people of Georgia favor
lynching. Those who contend that
lynching is confined to the lawless ele-
ment are lot of internal liars, who
take the people of the north for a lot of
fools. We might as well be plain and
honest about the matter. If their con-
tention is true, that the people forming
such mobs are lawless and unrepresen-
tative, why is it that these men or some
of them are not sometimes punished?
The governor offers rewards, but the
oldest inhabitant never heard of one
being claimed or paid.
In the case of the Griffin lynching
there was the most perfect order, and it
is a well recognized fact that in the
crowd there were graduates of the state
university and some of the best people
in Georgia, all of whom would compare
well with the civilization of any coun-
try on the face of the globe. There is
nobody to prosecute these men, for it is
impossible to get a grand jury in Spald-
ing county to indict them

KITTENSGROWN TOGETHER
Hayden, Colo, Furnishes a Strange
Monstrosity in Animal Life.

Hayden, Col, July 31.-Mr. George
Shinnebaum had a Inonstrosity which,
had it lived. would have excited the
curiosity of biologists. An old cat be-
longing to him gave birth to seven kit
tens, six of which were Joined firmly to-
gether, some by the feet. some by their
bodies and others by their shoulders
and hips.
Mr.. Shinnebaum attempted to separ-
ate them, but close examination
found that the parts were closely
grown together. The hair on their
bodies was perfectly natural, as were
the shapes of their bodies, excepting, of
course, where the others joined on. The
six heads were natural in size and
seemed to protrude from a compact
mass. That the circulation of the
blood was connected through the entire
group cannot be doubted, for as the
scissors cut through the liga -ure the
two live kittens gave much evidence of
pain and distress, for their meOwS were
plaintiVe.~ For awhile the kittens SEEM
ed to thrive, but sometime last night
the old cat got at them and they were
found dead this morning. The seventh
kitten the old mother has nursed with
kindness, but the monstrosity seemed
to appall her, and some think that the
unnaturalness of the group caused her
to commit the act.

CHAINED HIS LITTLE BOY.
Father Said He Did It to Keep Him
From Running Around With
Thieves - Gerry Society
T..

New York, July 31.-A little boy,
weeping bitterly, with an immense iron
weight fastened to his leg by a heavy
chain and paddock, sat in the Oak
street police station this morning
awaiting the arrival of an agent of the
Gerry society. The boy is James Fall
Ion, the 10-year-old son of Richard j.
Fallon, of az New Chambers street.
Joseph P. Fallon, the boys eldest
brother said that he was told late this
morning by little girl of the neighbor-
hood that his brother James was kept
in their fathers home by having a ball
and chain fastened to his leg. He went
to the house and there found his little
brother shut up in dark bedroom,
wearing the ball and chain. He imme-
diately took the little fellow up in his
arms. He carried him to the station
and had the Gerry society notified.
The father of the boy said afterward
that he had never whipped the boy, and
had chained him only to keep him from
running around with a band of young
thieves who made him their tool.
