"a mob of 400 angry farmers took five
negro prisoners from the county jail here

from Wethmpka. Their house was then
robbed Of several thousand dollars and
burned. Five negroes living in the neigh
borhood were suspected and they were
arrested,
Gardens farmer friends gathered here
this afternoon armed with shotguns and
axes. 1t was urged that they did not
have evidence sufficient to prove the
prisoners guilt. 1t was, therefore, resoiy-
ed that a committee of ten of the mob
be appointed to ascertain the guilt or
innocence !, Of thea prisoners after their
persons had been secured. If guilty II
was determined that they should be
hanged at once: If not found to be guilty
to be returned to the authorities
For several hours the mob stormed the
Jail and hammered with sledge hammers
on the doors. The national guard was OF
with the Regular Army, but those ma
tionalr guardsmen who remained respond
ed and within an hour and half after
the riot alarm was sounded at Mont
gomery, 100 men In uniform were on a
special train en- route to Wetumpka.
They reached there half an hour
after the mob had effected entrance into
the jail and had made away with the five
prisoners. 1t is regarded as certain that

standing of the Clubs.

Boston, June 16.-(SpeciaD.- many op-
portunities went to waste in the opening
game Of the Washington series at the
South End today and the heavy batsman
seemed TO be so generally afflicted with
that tired feeling that the contest, in
spite of its closeness, was dead in its
interest TO the spectators.
It was a game in which the winner could
not take any pride, while the losers had
good cause TO be ashamed that they did
not win. Il was a toss up which would
win. and the Bostons had the luck.
1t was doubtless 10 Weyhings credit
that the Boston batsman made such a
poor exhibition.
The Senators, too, made a sorry exhi-
bition at the bat with men on the bases,
but in critical places Nichols's grand
pitching kept them in check. There was
some grumbIing at the umpires and
though it is doubtful if an decision effect
ed the result, it must be admitted that
the Senators got the short end.
"Bobby1 Lowe led both teams at the
bat. but two Of his hits were scratches
in the infield. Lowe and Collins carried of
the honors for Boston. Wrigley Gettman
and Bert" Meyers did some very clever
fielding for the Senators while Reitz and
Meyers did the best hitting.
IN the first inning a base on balls and
a wild pitch put SeIbach on second with
no one out; but the next three men went
out in order. Gettman striking out.
