Two Negroes in Georgia Horribly
Mutilated and One Burned.


Newman, Ca, April 25.--ln the pres
ence of nearly 1000 people who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts Of Joy,
Sam Hose, a negro who committed two
of the basest acts known TO crime, was
burnt at Il stake in a public road ~
miles from here yesterday afternoon. Be
fore the torch was applied TO the pyre,
the negro was deprived of his ears, fin-
gers and other portionso of his anatomy.
The negro pleaded pitifully for his life
while the mutilation was going on, but
stood the ordeal Of fire with surprising
fortitude. Before the body was cool II
was cut to pieces the bones were
crushed into small bits and even the
tree upon which the wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed of as
souvenirs. The negro's heart was cut
in several pieces as was also his liver.
Those unable to obtain the ghastly rel
les direct, paid their more fortunate
, possessors extravagant sums for them.
Hose confessed to killing Crawford,
but denied that he had outraged Mrs.
Crawford. Before being put 10 death
the negro stated that he had been paid
Sls by "Lige" Strickland, u negro
preacher at Palmetto, to kill Crawford.
The Preacher Also Lynched.
Palmetto, Ga, April 25.-The body OF
Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
implicated by Sam Hose in the killing
of Alfred Crawford, was found swing
ing to the limb OF a tree about one mile
from town yesterday. The ears and
fingers were cut of and on the body
was pinned placard bearing these
words: 1--WE must protect our southern
women" Strickland was negro min

Washington, April 25.-The fiscal

Relating to the connection that is
considered to exist between malaria
and mosquitoes, Prof b. Grassi, Ger
man, has been making a study of the
matter. From careful deductions DIR.
Grassi has been led to the conclusion
that certain species of the mosquito
are innocuous, while Others again, are
active disseminatorS of the malariai

and effect between the mosquitoes and
the malaria is so finely hung that 1t Is
difficult to tell which lowers the scales
Marshy and malarial districts un'
doubtedly breed mosquitoes In abun'

fact that certain classes OF these In
