A Brutal Crime and Swift Punishment.

Miss Julia HotOpp, daughter of the
late William Hotopp, was brutally as
saulted near her home, two miles south
of Charlottesville, Va, Monday morn
ing by a negro. The deed was the re-
suit Of a well-planned scheme. The
young lady had been to the city on
business, and was on her return home,
when she found the gate leading
through clump of woods to her home
securely bound with wire. As she dis
mounted to unloosen the gate the ne
gro came from his hiding place, ap-
preached from behind and struck her.
lie then grasped her by the neck, fore
ing her to the ground. The young
LADY resisted her assailant to the ex-
tent Of scratching his neck so violently
as to leave particles Of flesh under her
finger nails. She then became uncon-
scious. Upon recovering she started
for home, where she was found on the
roadside by her brother. After az
irving home she told what had hap
pened to her and described her assall-
ant. Active search for the villain was
begun, and he was arrested a few hours
later He was taken to jail at Staun-
ton, for fear he would be lynched If
kept at Charlottesville. His name
was John Henry James.
Tuesday the prisoner was placed on
a train to be taken to Charlottesville
for hearing. At Woods Crossing,
four miles from the city, as the train
slowed up a number fmen, unmasked,
boarded the platforms of the car, front
and rear. All were armed with PTS
tolls and there seemed to be one hun
dred and fifty in the crowd. Chief
Parish rushed to the door, closed It
and held the knob. In a twinkling he
was pushed aside, the mob entered the
car against his protest and in perfect
Indifference to his presented pistol.
Sheriff Watts had a similar experience
in the rear of the car. The crowd then
seized the negro and hustled him, along
with Mr.. Parish, outside Of the car,
where they bound Mr.. Parish hands.
In the meantime Mr.. Watts was plead
ing with the mob to let the law take
its course, but he was powerless in the
hands of so many. As soon as James
reached the platform a rope was thrown
over his head and he was carried about
forty yards to a small locust tree, near
the blacksmith shop. The rope was
thrown over limb about three inches
in circumference and the miserable
wretch was drawn up. As soon as he
was elevated the crowd emptied their
pistols into his body, probably forty
Shots entering it.
Capt. Micajah Woods, the common
wealth S attorney,was seen and was IN
disposed to say much about the affair.
He said that it was one Of the most
atrocious assaults ever committed. The
circumstances were Of such charac-
ter and so revolving that he was I'M
willing to state them IN detail.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has decided that the sender OF a
Geographic message must pay the tax
of one cent on each message. The law
simply imposes the tax, and provides
that no telegraph company shall trans
NIT any dispatch or message unless the
stamp has been affixed to the message.
The commissioners Interpretation
therefore relieves the telegraph COM
pany of the tax and places it definitely
upon the sender of the message. In
the case of express receipts or bills Of
lading given by railroad, steamboat
and express companies, the commits
sioner rules that the tax supposed upon
the carrier. 1t is held that if an ex-
press company or other carrier accepts
goods for transportation it must issue
to the consigner receipt or bill Of
lading duly stamped and the stamp
Cancelled. If carrier should refuse,
however, to accept goods offered for
transportation, except upon the condl-
ton that the consigner shall pay the
price of the stamp in addition to the
regular charge for transportation, the
internal revenue laws afford no rene
dy, and the consigner must appeal to
the courts to supply remedy.

The Sultan and our Missionaries.

The Porte has demanded the recall Of
two American Missionaries from the
province of AleppO, on the preteXt that
their mission is likely to cause distur-
Dances. The sick man Of Europe, y is
as unreasonable as his political health is
feeble. As a bright contrast to his
obStinacy and stupidity, the people Of
America are acknowledging far and
wide the beneficence of the mission of
Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters, namely TO
relieve and prevent malaria, rheumatism
and kidney complaint, chronic dySpep-
STA. constipation and liver trouble. The
nervous, the weak and the intirm derive
unspeakable benefit from its use, and 1t
greatly mitigates the weakness and in
firmities which are specially incident to
advancing years.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The progress OF the war between
the United States and Spain has been
very slow during the past week.
Our army has been entrenching itself
in front of Santiago, and now has the
city almost entirely surrounded.
There has been little actual fighting.
The rains have been almost incessant,
flooding the trenches and making life
a burden to the soldiers. The roads
are quagmires, and it has been almost
impossible to move the heavy artillery
necessary to conduct the siege. Ne
gotiations have been conducted each
day looking to the surrender of the
city, but General Toral refuses to give
up, and says he will fight to the last
1t is thought, however, that he will
surrender when our heavy guns begin
their work Of destruction.
This mornings dispatches say that
it has been determined to put an end
to all truces and begin the lombard
ment of Santiago at once. Our SOL
diers are so wretchedly situated that
they are chatting at the delay, and
vastly prefer fighting to lying in the
trenches that are more like canals.
Yellow fever has made its appearance
among our troops, and this has SO
alarmed the officials who are conduct
ing the campaign, both at Washing
ton and in Cuba, that they have given
orders that unless General Toral sur
renders Internationally the lombard
ment will be commenced today at
noon. General Shafter telegraphed
yesterday that he will open with every
gun he has in position, while at the
same time the warships will throw
shells into the city from the outer
bay.
Maior-General Nelson A. Miles has
assumed command Of the United States
army around Santiago, and will direct
in person the movement of the troops.
He has expressed his entire confidence
that he can take Santiago within a
couple of days.
During the past week the warships
under Admiral Sampson tried what
they could do in the way Of shelllng
Santiago from outside the harbor.
They landed number Of shells within
the city, and when they get the range
they will doubtless do great execution.
1t has been decided not to risk the de-
struction of the ships by forcing an en-
trance into the harbor.
A special dispatch from Madrid rep
resents Senior Sagasta, the prime min
lister, as saying openly that the mo-
ment for peace negotiations had come.
1t is believed that the government is
only waiting for the fall of Santiago
to ask for peace. Senior Sagasta has
re-established tranquility in the cabi-
net, according to Madrid dispatch
to the London Times, and persons in
close relations with the minister be-
leve that as soon as certain conhden-
tial communications now passing be-
tween Madrid and Havana have ter
minated the United States government
will be sounded as to what general
conditions might be taken as a basis
for peace negotiations.
