Dallas, Tex, June "a special to the
News from Shreveport, La, says: \
thousand people gathered at Doyline,
on the Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific
railroad, about IS miles from here, to
witness the burning at the stake of
William Street, a negro who brutally
outraged Mrs. Parish. The crime was
committed on the night of May 80.
The people erected a post near the
railroad track. near the town, and laid
the light wood and kindling, saturated
with coal oil, preparatory to claiming
Street to the post.
Street is a negro, about % years of
age. He confessed the crime to a col
ored minister, but said a colored min
lister named John Rhodes was impli-
Gated. When going to the stake. he
looked frightened, but refused to have
anything to say. He was tied to Ithe
stake and uttered not word as the
cracking flames shot up in succession
above his head.
The flames were started at 1 o'clock.
1t was a sickening sight, which lasted
ten minutes, when Street was a charred
mass.
Well known lawyers made speeches.
warning the crowd of negroes that such
crimes would not be tolerated in a civ
1llZed community.
The woman whom Street assaulted
Is in a most critical condition and could
not identify Street when caught until

Tooth regular semi-monthly shipment

]. H. Dupaix will leave the first of
the week for Star district, in Beaver
county, for the purpose of beginning
work in the operation of the property
owned by the Amelia Mining company
of this city. 1t is understood that the
Amelia is a valuable mine and that it
has been developed to such an extent
that ore shipments can begin within a
short time after Mr.. Dupaix's arrival
on the ground, as fine bodies of a good
grade of mineral are exposed in its
workings.
The deer head which embellishes the
office of Hon. Theodore Bruback, in the
Mccormick block, is not a trophy of
the skill of this gentleman as a MIN
rod, but rather the result of an acct
dent, the animal from which it was
taken having undertaken to leap the
fiume embraced in the equipment of
the Bingham Placer company operat-
ing at Gibbonsville, Ida Instead of
landing on the opposite side of the
hume, however, the deer went plump
into it, and as it was deep and the
water was running swiftly and at a
good head, he was unable to make his
escape and was caught by the men at
work at the diggings, who were
obliged to kill him for fear of an at
tack if turned loose.
Mr.. John Beck, of the Bullion-Beck,
informs The Herald that there is no
truth in the reports that there is a. like
lihood that the mine will be shut down,
even temporarily, because of the fact
that their ore contracts are finished,
and that smelters are now, asking sew
eral dollars more for treatment charges
than they did for the last contract
year. Indeed, as matter Of tact, the
subject of a new contract has not been
seriously discussed or considered as
yet, and should the charges be higher,
the mine would not be closed, as the
output could easily be disposed of on
the open market, or the mineral could
be stored in the mine for a. period, and
as silver quotations are steadily adj
vancing the company could not make
money faster than by holding it's ores
AS it is, there is no intention on the
part of the company to close down the
mine.

POWERFUL FIGHTING VESSELS.
Plans Completed For the Four Coast
Defense Warships.

New York, June ga special to the Tri-
bune from Washington says: An even
dozen is the preDondering figure in the
designs just practically completed by
Chief Constructor Hichborn for the four
coast defense vessels authorized in the
latest naval appropriation bill. These
vessels are TO be the most formidable ever
constructed for their particular purpose,
and will include many novelties in modern
naval architecture. Under the provisions
of the bill, their cost, excluding arma-
ment is limited to 8. 100000 each. They
will have Z knots speed. u feet draught
Pinch barbettes, Pinch Hichb arn in
clined turrets, Pinch guns. Pinch I-mor
and each of their twin screws will be driv-
en- by 1900 horsepower engines. Their
displacement will be just twice 1900 tons.
The guns will be mounted in pairs in
turrets placed little forward of the mid
ship section. and will have an arc of fire
of 300 degrees which is unequaled in any
vessel Of the navy. The turrets are the
first constructed with inclined surfaces
which are calculated to defect projectiles
The bulls will have three feet frecboard
covered with armor and the engines are
more thoroughly protected than these of
any battleship afioat.

SUIT FOR REFUND OF TAXES
HOME FIRE COMPANY SUES THE
COUNTY TREASURER.
Dispositions of the Late Martin Hay
ken Read In the County Warrant
Case-Powers VS.. Clas On Trial.

The Home Fire Insurance company
has entered suit against County Treas
urer Lynch to recover S275 paid for
taxes under protest. In the complaint
it is alleged that the assessor assessed
on $4,000 of personal property. alleged
to be the property Of the plaintiff. That
the said property consisted of unearned
premiums on fire insurance policies,
which in reality are only contingent
claims, depending upon the insurers not
conceling the insurance, and upon the
property not being destroyed by fire.
In either of those events taking place
the unearned premiums would have to
be returned to the insurers, and there
fore cannot be properly counted as the
property of the plaintiffs.
1t is therefore claimed that the as
sessment is illegal and plaintiff prays
for judgment for the amount, $275,
which it paid under protest to prevent
the sale of the property.

states that development work on the
claim will be vigorously pushed and
inducements offered for moneyed men
