A MARYLAND LYNCHING.
Herman Kenney's Murderer Strung
Up and Shot to Death.

Salisbury Md. May 26.-Last night
mob lynched Garfield King. the young
colored man who fatally shot Herman
Kenney, at Twigg's store. eight miles
from here. last Saturday night Kenney
died from his wounds yesterday and his
friends determined to punish his slayer
with death.
About II o'clock several men rode into
town from Trappe district and halted
in front of the jail. Every few minutes
men dressed in gum trousers. tarpaulin
hats and gum boots could be seen going
around the courthouse in the direction
of the Jail At midnight. when the cleo
trio lights were shut off, cheer went
up. and shortly afterward signals could
be heard.
BY this time the crowd had swelled to
over 100 men, talking in whispers and
awaiting their leader. At 12:30 a. m.
the leader arrived with a shotgun, ac-
companied by three other men with
large clubs.
At 12:35 ten men came up with tele-
graph pole and the leader raped on the
door, calling to Sheriff DashiH to open.
The request being refused, the tele-
graph pole was brought into action as
a ram. The first blow was given amid
cheers and curses. After ten minutes
of hard work the door was battered
down and the crowd mounted the steps
and called for a light, Sheriff Dashill
having eXtinguished all the lights in
the Jail as soon as the attack was made
a lantern was procured and search
begun for the negro. The crowd was SO
- . 49, -;-~
that repeated cries of Get the right
man" were heard on all sides.
Sheriff Dashill refused to give up the
keys to the cell, and the leader. produc-
ing a sledge, broke the lock. While the
men were breaking open the door the
negro was on his knees begging for
mercy.
The crowd dragged him from the cell
and some one said, shoot him." but
the crowd downstairs, not wishing to
be cheated out of their revenge, shout
ed No. bring him down.
A call was made for a rope and some
delay was occasioned, but finally one
was procured and placed around the
prisoners neck. He was then dragged
downstairs, fighting for his life Al
this time someone blew out the light
Fearing the murderer would escape one
of the crowd struck him with a club.
Another light was, procured, the pris.
oner all the while was fighting his cap
tors and crying, out for mercy. Before
he could be strung up several of the
gang kicked and stamped upon him.
The prisoner was then dragged TO G
tree and the line thrown over a limb
! but as soon as the man was hauled VI
the rope broke and he fell to the
ground. Some one then shot the pool
| wretch, who was still alive. He wa.
pulled up again. a man climbing the
| tree and catching the rope.
| After making the knot secure tht
second time, the leader called for the
crowd to stand on this side" and Zine
up, boys" after which more than 10
bullets and gunshots were fired int
| the dangling body.
Some one called for three cheers
which were given.
The leader of the crowd called his fol
lowers to fall in" and they marched
| away.

Inst of the Tribe of Jesse.

Mr. John w. Hutchinson, the Last of
the Tribe of Jesse entertained fairly
large audience last evening at the Church
of Our Father with his quaint and Gu
rious songs with which he has been
amusing audiences the world over for the
last forty years. 1t was the one thous-
and six hundred and fifty-frst concert
in which the last of the tribe has taken
part.
John is now in his eighty-sixth year
and claims the distinction of having
breathed the same air as every President
of the United States except the Father of
his Country. Mr.. Hutchinsons voice is
remarkably clear and full for a person of
his age and he sang with the same power
and feeling with which he did half a CEN
tury ago. He was assisted by Mrs. Pos
tell-Everest, who also rendered several
numbers in pleasing style. The accom-
panist was Mr.. H. w. Howard.

THE SECOND CALL.
Recruiting Offices 0pePed for New
District xoiunfeers.


Preparations have already begun for
the recruiting of a volunteer organiza-
tion in the District of Columbia to an
swer the second call for volunteers.
1t is understood that the District Of
Columbia. Maryland and Virginia will be
allowed one regiment and that the Dis
trict's proportion will be about two COM
panies. Recruits will not be confined TO
offers from the National Guard, but out
side organizations will be given chance.
The first man to become actively en-
gagged in the work of getting together a
company of recruits is Capt. William Mel
ZACH. who was until recently in command
of National Guard company.
Capt Mellach has opened a recruiting
office at zoos Pennsylvania Avenue and up
TO yesterday afternoon had secured the
names - about sixty hale and hearty
men, Every applicant is tested as to ply
sical and mental fitness and it is believed
that the company will be a model one
At the same time Capt Streek of Com
pany c. Second Regiment District Guard,
is busy getting some Of the members of
the Guard together who were left out of
the first call.
The War Department is not fayoring a
rapid enlistment of volunteers. and in
structions have been given out to the re-
cruiting officers in the different States
to be very careful in the selection of ma
terial Capt. Heyl. who was appointed
mastering officer for the District. will
very likely go 10 Chickamauga to join the
District regiment as a lieutenant colonel.
and in that event another mastering Of
ficer will be named.
So far ll5000 of the first call for I25 900
men have been mustered into the service.
This is owing to the failure of several of
the Western States to make returns and
il is now believed that these States will
await the announcement of their quota
under the second call and then furnish
an organization including their total au-
thorized representation. Adjt Gen. Cor
bin said yesterday that he would be un-
able to give any definite information on
this point however, for two weeks.
In the District there are several of the
National Guard companies which would
like to respond to the second call and a
number of the officers of the First Reg
iment are hoping that the War Depart
ment will allow them to furnish the en-
tire District quota. Should this be done
it is thought the Washington Light In
fantry would likely be represented.
