Horrible Fate.

OUTRAGED - MURDERED
UNFORTUNATE WOMAN FOUND
WITH HER THROAT CUT.
TWO NEGROES LYNcHED FOR THE CRIME
Two Negroes Suspected of The DastardIy Deeds
Were Arrested and placed in Jail, A
Mob Attacked the Jail and
Hinged Them.
Charlotte Observer

Miss Emma Hartsell, a young lady of
Cabarrus county. was brutally assault
ed by negroes yesterday, and afterwards
murdered. Last night Concord resound-
ed with uproar. and two negroes were
hanged from the same tree.
The victim of the outrage was a
daughter of Mr.. Sam Hartsell, who
lived on Mr.. G. w. Swink's farm, four
miles from Concord Yesterday after
noon some time between , and > o'clock,
she was outraged and murdered, her
throat being cut from ear to ear.
The first news of the tragedy was
heard by Mr.. Frank Pharr from the
lips of a young negro. who was going to
town to tell about it. Mr.. Pharr sus-
pected this negro and held him until
officers arrived.
In the meantime the news had cireu-
lated rapidly and crowds from the town
and country began gathering. The ne
gro held by Mr.. Pharr was named Joe
Kiser aged - years, of Cabarrus coun-
ty. In a short time another negro
named Tom Johnston. aged 20 years, of
Lincoln county, had been arrested.

FOR LABOR ARBITRATION.

Consideration of the Bill VIII Be Re-
sumed by the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE consider
alton of the labor arbitration bill by the
house committee on labor will be re-
sumed next Thursday. The bill gives
every case of labor disagreement or
strike status, and the significance of
public opinion. The proceedings so far
have developed wide difference Of
views between labor leaders, and Mr..
Hines, representing federated railroad
employees, has taken issue with Presi.
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, as to the respective obi
cations of employer and employed,
and every railroad brotherhood appar-
entity favors the pending measure.
while some of the officers of the FEEDER
alton of Labor want the bill to go fur
ther, and claim that DO arbitration
system can safely be established that
does more than give the arbitrator's
opinion and then drop the case. The
railroad men, it is stated, want the dis
putes to be the subject matter of legal
arbitration, while the opponents of the
bill, it is represented, want some regu-
lation of disputes left to themselves. 1t
is stated, however, that President
Gompers has taken no official action in
making these representations.

Spanish Premier Again Re-
fuses the Offer of Friendly
Mediation in Cuba.
Not Ready to Admit That Spain
Is Unable to Put Down
the Instruction.
Cipher Message From Minister
Woodford Sent Directly to
the President.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE Tribune's
Washington special says: Premier Sa-
gasta has declined the third offer Of
friendly mediation on the part of the
United States This information was
conveyed in cipher message received
from Minister Woodford by President
Mckinley on Friday.
The message was a most unusual
one. Instead of being addressed to the
secretary of state it was addressed to
the president, a thing which has not
happened since Consul General Lees
famouse cablegrams to President
Cleveland of nearly year ago.
This cablegram from Wcodford was
not long, but recited the fact that Pre-
mier Sagasta refused to admit that Spain
had reached the end of her rope in
Cuba; that she was unable to suppress
the Instruction; that autonomy was a
failure; or that she needed the assist
ance of the United States in bringing
the Cuban struggle to an end.

house TO Drop Appropriation
Bills and Take Up an
Election Contest.
Committee Divided on Party
Lines, the Majority Fa-
Voring AldriCh.
Political Discussions of Sew
eral Weeks Past Will
Be Continued.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt is probable
that the programme of the house,
which has been confined almost ex-
clusively this session to the considera-
tioP of appropriation bills, will be
varied this week with the considera-
ton of contested election case. 1t is
the purpose of the house leaders to keep
the appropriation bills to the front in
order to obtain final early adjourn
ment, or, as the alternative, throw the
responsibility for delay on the senate.
AS but one appropriation bill is on the
calendar for the present it is the inten.
ton of the leaders to fill the hiatus
this week with the consideration of the
Aldrich- Plowman contested election
case from the Fourth Alabama dis
trict. The elections committee have
divided on this case on party lines and
the indications are therefore that the
house will do the same thing and Mr..
Plowman will be unseated.
Political Discussion to Continue.
The members on both sides of the
house have been using the latitude
allowed In debate on appropriation bills
to make campaign speeches to be used
more or less extensively in the impend-
ing con gressional campaign this fall,
and these are likely to continue indefi-
nitely. All the members are keenly
alive to opportunities to make political
capital for themselves or their party,
and this fact may at any time upset
prearranged programmes by plunging
the house into rancorous and acrimon-
ious political discussion. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists seem to be directing
their assaults principally against the
Republican claim that prosperity has
returned to the country, so that all evil
dence on this point, pro and con, is
likely to find its way sooner or later
into The Congressional Record for dis
tribution this fall.
