were set upon winning. According
to the Detroit Free Press a certain
old farmer learned this secret-which
is not a new one-while watching two
''city fellows" playing chess.
The game was long, and the farmer
ventured to interrupt it.
"Excuse me,'' he said, "but the
object of you is to git them wooden
objects from where they are to where
they ain't?"
''That partly expresses it," re-
piled one of the players.

No North and No South in the
Hour of DANGER

ATLANTA (G), Aug. 1O-Congress-
mn Livingston of Georgia has received
this letter from Admiral Dewey:
Flagship Olympia, off Cavite, Philip
pine Islands, June Il, 1S9S-My Dear
Sir: | have just learned from the last
papers that I am indebted to you for
the introduction in the House Of Rep
resentatives of the resolution extend
Ing to me the thanks Of Congress for
the naval engagement of Manila Bay
May 1st
Il need hardly tell you that I am
most sincerely grateful to you as the
author of that resolution, bringing as
1t does the highest honor that can come
to an American naval officer in his pro-
ressional career. But it is great
pleasure to acknowledge my debt OF
gratitude and to thank you in unstinted
measure for the part you took in OBJ
tanning for me that great distinction. 1t
is source of additional pleasure to me,
Vermonter, that the mover Of the
resolution was not a man from the
North, but one from the far South.
This is one of the good signs of the
times. In the hour of danger there is
no South, no North, but one united
country May We never hear of Sec
tionalism again. There are no lines
drawn in the navy. i need not say it
may interest you to know that my Flag
Lieutenant, Lieutenant Brumby, is a
Georgian by birth and appointment.
Again thanking you most cordially,
remain, very gratefully and sincere
ly, GEORGE DEWEY"

tcontinued from First Pags.y

The answer is not enough, but we
are hopeful of the result"
Further negotiations, then, are nee
essary?"
Yes, but we look for something de-
finite Tomorrow"
Beyond this no member of the Cabi-
net was willing to go. The President
and Secretary Day are exerting every
effort to prevent news of the progress
of the negotiations transpiring until a
definite result can be announced.
To-day several members of the Cabi-
net were in conference with the Presi-
dent regarding the situation. Secre-
tary Long was the earliest of the
councillors to call, and Secretary Alger
soon followed. Commander CrowniI-
shield of the War Board was called in,
but the meeting did not last very long,
and had no important bearing on the
situation.
Shortly before 80 o'clock Secretary
Day, who had been in conference with
the French ambassador at the State
Department, called to consult with the
President regarding the peace negotia-
tions.
The plainest evidence that peace has
not yet come is the admission, prac-
tically official, through several au-
thoritative chennels, that negotiations
are still in progress, added to the fact
that secrecy imposed by the
President. That these negotiations will
not continue long is practically settled,
and an early and satisfactory termina-
ton of hostilities is looked for. Mem
bers of the Cabinet believe that by
Friday morning at the latest, and PROB
ably before, the definite peace outcome
will be assured beyond all doubt
At the White House it was under
stood that ambassador Cambon would
transmit to Spain to-day a cablegram
stating that a complete and immediate
acceptance of the terms imposed with
out reservation would be essential to
effecting peace under the present terms
offered by the United States. In this
connection it has developed that just
before the Spanish answer was deliv-
cred yesterday President Mckinley an
nounced that an extra session of the
Senate would be held doubtless in No
vember.
With the peace situation at a stage
where a complete agreement is regard
ed as likely at any moment, discussion
has again started as to the convening Of
OF an extra session of Congress, but
President Mckinley within the past
twenty-four hours has said positively
that he has no intention of calling the
House together. though, of course, the
I Senate will have to meet in extra ses-
sion TO ratify the treaty of peace, un-
less unforeseen and most improbable de-
lays should occur.
The President added that preliminary
details incident to a treaty of peace
would take so much time that the Sem
ate would not have to meet until some
time in November.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-A special to
the Post Dispatch" from Clarendon,
Ark, gives further particulars OF the
lynching of the murdererS of John L.
Orr:
About midnight last night mob OF
about 200 men visited the County Jail
and took out the four negroes impH-
Gated in the assassination of John l.
Orr on the night of July Both, and
hanged them to the tramway of the
Halpern sawmill, which stands about
100 yards in the rear of the Jail. The
four persons hanged were Will Sanders.

Sanders and the cook in the Orr house

tor and conjurer," who tried to poison
Orr with boiled snake heads, and Manse
Castle, who volunteered to do the Job
and transferred it to Sanders. Mrs.
Rachel Morris. accused of being an ac-
cessory after the fact, and Susie Jacobs.
"a negro woman, accessory after the
fact, have skipped out, and their
whereabouts are unknown to the Off
GERS. Hal they been in Jail they would
undoubtedly have gone with the rest
last night.
Mrs Orr. wife of the murdered man.
was in the corridor of the Jail last
night when the mob entered. She had
taken something with suicidal intent,
and Dr. p F. Thomas, who was called
to care for her, says she will die. The
leaders of the mob examined Mrs. Orr
critically and passed her, but many of
them favored taking her with the rest.
=. = lN,, +
a few hours If she RECEIVERS it is
stated that the mob will hang her.
There is no doubt that the report that
Mrs. Orr would certainly die moved the
populace to the lynching last night.
Three previous demonstrations were
made. and each time the crowd dis
persed on the promise of the officers TO
rush the trial without change of venue
or any delay in the proceedings what
ever. 1t was even said that a legal
execution would be had during the
week
Last night only the jailer and two
deputies, r. F. Milwee and A. E. How

the law would be allowed to take its
course. Mr.. Milwee made an earnest
effort to prevent the mob from taking
the prisoners. going so far as to give
out the statement that he had twenty
five guards behind him, and would GER
tainly order them to fire should an at
tempt at forcing the door be made The
crowd hesitated a moment, parleyed a
short while, and then forced the outer
door. Milwee, seeing further resist
ance would be useless, turned over the
keys and unlocked the combination
doors to the cells.
The negroes remained where they
were hanged until 9 a. m to-day Great
crowds viewed the grewsome sight OF a
woman and three men dangling six feet
from the ground with tongues protrud-
ing and ropes cutting deep into their
necks.

hcodoo and conjuring made him an OBJ
ject of dread and fear among them.
1t appeared from letters received by
Mrs. Orr, in the name of her cook, Rilla
Weaver, through whom all the CORE
spondence was conducted, that Mrs. Orr
and Rachel Morris were to remain here
until Mr. Orr's insurance money was
collected, and then go to New York,
where they were to meet two men and
form a theatrical company. Mrs Orr
was also in correspondence with other
men. A letter came in the mail this
morning, which! read:
Caldwell (Ohio), Aug. 9th.
Dear Lorilla: Inclosed you will find
a. picture of me, as l was ON the ID day
of August, 1898. Another matter has
been brought to my attention since l
wrote you last, and that is that our
Common Pleas Court convenes Septem-
ber 9th, and / hardly see how l can
get away in the month of September.
Perhaps it would suit you to defer
until October. Let me hear from you
in regard to the matter. However, if
you cannot defer it until October, l
think l can arrange matters all right,
but if it would be more convenient for
you to defer it until October, l could
stay longer with you, as 1 would have
all my court affairs attended to for the
September term

This letter is accompanied by photo

Lorilia is the negro woman who
cooked for the Orrs. Apparently Mrs.
Orr received corresp spondence in Lo-
rilla's name. This woman was admitted
to the first homes in the town, given
prominent place in the church work
and shown every consideration gen
orally accorded good people.
The people all are agreed that the
guilty have been found, and that they
deserved the end they met.
Mrs. Orr was Miss Mabel Parker, for

day and rendered a verdict that the
deceased were killed by unknown par
