citizens of the county. The mob was COM

The mob on horseback entered the town
an hour after midnight and called out
up the keys, was overpOwered The mob
soon pushed its way into the cell rooms
and in their impatience first fired on the
five prisoners and then dragged them to
tree a square from the Jail and hung
them uo.
Andrews and Gordon had already been
wounded. having been shot several times
while attempting to rob store at Cor
rect last Saturday night
Shuler was in Jail for attempted burg
larry, and Levi and Jenkins had just been
indicted by the grand jury for robbery.
They had failed to give bonds and were
put in Jail, last evening

both dead from shots fired by the mob
when taken out of JAIL The bandages
that were on the wounded men were
found, later this morning. along the
street, where they had been torn off as
the men were dragged along. Levi was

PRESIDENT ANDREWS
Of Brown University, With
draws His Resignation.
Letter Announcing His Decision Made
Pubic, Tuesday afternoon.
4 Crest Surprise 10 Ml-Has Given W
All Other Plans.

Providence, r. l., Sept. A.-Brown
university will open, tomorrow. All the
undergraduates and the prospective
members OF the freshman class are
back In town. The moment a knot OF
students formed. the talk was about
the resignation Of DR.. Andrews. To-
night. the college is celebrating as
earnestly as though the football eleven
had defeated it's most bitter rival.
President Andrews, this afternoon,
withdrew his resignation, and this is
the cause Of the rejoicing. His letter
read:
Brown University. Sent. IA. 1897.

Hazard, Committee:
Conference.-The resolution of the cor
pOratiOn of Brown University on the 1st

to entirely does away with the scrupie
which led to my resignation. At the date
however, when you laid the communfca-
ton before me. had undertaken to per-
form the coming year certain work
which, after learning the judgment of the
corporation on the subject, / came to re-
gard as Incompatible with the duties Of
the presidency. l therefore felt obliged
at first to adhere to my resignation. But
my undivided service, l have withdrawn
my resignation and have notified the Sec
rotary of the corporation to that effect

esteem. E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS
This move is entirely unexpected. A
week ago tomorrow, DIR. Anderson, Sec
retary of the cooperation, admitted that
he had received a letter from DR.. An
drews. renewing his resignation. This
was believed to be an answer to the
request Of that body made at its meet
ing. Sept. /. requesting DIR. Andrews to
withdraw his resignation.
Secretary Anderson announced that
he would issue a notice of a meeting for
a time which seemed most convenient
for the purpose Of electing a new presi-
dent or a temporary one. This was
taken to mean that DR.. Andrews had
finally decided to take charge Of his
college of correspondence.
1t is said that DIR. Andrews was
closeted all this afternoon with a COM
mittee. approached to which was care
fully guarded. Whether this was a
factor in the announcement made, this
afternoon. is not known. nor does there
seem to be any reason why this latest
action was made.
The Brown boys appointed a delega-
ton to wait on the president and to ask
him to address them from the steps of
his residence. DR.. Andrews thanked
the students for their interest in him,
but declined to say anything. ,reserving

SO far as the writer is concerned, as he
has made up his mind to quit attending

THE statement that l have applied to
the league for assistance, said Mr.. Won
der Abe, 'is lie. l haven't asked
soul in the league for a dollar. AS to the
salaries of the players, they are never
paid on Il trip. AS soon as the players
return home they will receive every cent
talking about such matters? They are
ancient history, and the stories have
been repeated so often they are hardly
worth contradicting."
Manager John Irwin of the Tauntons,
called at the Boston Herald office, Tues
day, on his way to Taunton. He said:
THAT game in Brockton on Saturday
was the toughest | ever saw. The Brock
tons knew we had but nine men in uni
form and made up their minds to do
some one of us. Sharrott's conduct was
simply contemplate. He jumped into me
and dislocated my shoulder. but l knew
the game he was up to, and persisted in
playing. Why. he only got what he de-
served from Burke. Burke had him out
by Is feet. and Sharrott jumped at him
