pENsIONING OF POLICE OFFICERS.
The Subject is Discussed by the
benevolent Association.

The Police Benevolent Association met
in the office of Chief Howard, I'm the City
Hail. last night. Nearly all the members
were present.
The principal object Of tie meet ting was
TO discuss the scope of the pension fund,
and the resources available for the pen
sioning of old or manned policemen. Par
ticular reference was made to the case
of one policeman. who is incapacltated
for duty by paralysis. His case Will pro-
badly be brought before the Police Com
missioners at their next meeting. and it
is considered possible that he may have
his official head Topped off. The bylaws
of the Benevolent Association will not
allow appropriations TO be made. from
the fund for pensions before 1902. and the
commissioners will be confronted at their
next meeting with the problem of taking
care of officers who have been injured or
have grown old in the public service.

David o. Watkins, of Gloucester, was
elected Speaker, and, in accepting,
thanked the members for the honor they
had bestowed upon him. He promised to
discharge the Duties of the office honestly
and feariessly, and called upon the MEM
bers to do their duty. His remarks en-
braced the usual promises to preside inn
partially and protect the rights of both
sides alike. These other officers were
then elected

made it known tonight that today he
would send to Acting Governor Watkins
his resignation as Representative in Cons
gress from the Fourth District.
There was much talk of the turning
down of George Frey as Secretary of the
Senate, and many statements were made
concerning efforts which were to be made
to have that action of the caucus re-
scinded. 1t was said. that General Sewell,
whose man Frey is popularity supposed to
be. was very much surprised If not
wrathy at the occurrence. He called
Senator johnson, of Camden, and other
South Jersey members of the Senate to
him and read the riot act to them. He
told them that. leaving all questions OF
personality aside he thought it a bad pre-
cedent to break up the three year rule
and put Frey out after he had served only
one year 1t would bring ON fight every
year and cause all kinds of trouble. The
General. it is said also wrote a letter to
each man requesting him to rescind hls
action. The Senators showed how much
they think of the Generals command BY
staying away from Trenton last night.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Incredible Punishment Melted Out to =
Georgia Criminal


Newman. Ga. April 23.-In the pres
ence of nearly 1000 people, who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts of
joy, Sam Hose. a negro who commit
ted two of the basest acts known to
crime, was burned at the stake in a
public road one and Il half miles from
here this afternoon.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyrc the negro WAS deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions 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 1t was cut
TO pieces, the bones 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 places. as was
also his liver
Those unable to obtain the ghastly
relics direct paid their more fortunate
possessors eXtravagant sums for them.
Small pieces of bone went for % cents
and bits of the liver crisply cooked
sold for 10 cents.
The mob was composed of citizens
of Newman. Griffin. Palmetto and 9TH
er little towns in the country around
about Newman.
Hon. w. Y. Atkinson, former COVER
nor of Georgia, met the mob as he was
returning from church and appealed
to them to let the law take its course.
In addressing the mob he used these
words:
Some of you are known to me, and
when this affair is finally settled in
the courts. you may depend upon 1t
that I will testify against you"
\ member of the mob was seen to
draw n revolver and level it at Gov
ernor Atkinson. but his arm was seiz-
ed and the pistol taken from him. The
mob was frantic at delays and would
hear TO nothing but burning at the
stake.

The Virginia City, Nevada, Chronicle
saws that General McGlashan Of
Truckee has completed his test OF sub
stituting structures OF wire netting for
the wooden sheds, on the line OF the
Central Pacific railroad across the Sier-
ra snow belt, with satisfactory results.
and will submit to the Southern Pacihc
Company proposition to adopt that
method of keeping the roadbeds clear
of snow during the winter. The tests
made showed that scarcely any snow
sifted through the interstices of the
wire netting during the heaviest storm
of this winter. The inventor claims
that by the use OF wire netting not only
will the annual loss from fire be avert
ed, but its substitution will enable
tourists TO obtain an unobstructed
view of the fine scenery while crossing
the Sicrras. The building of mile
of wooden snowsheds costs $4,000.
and the construction of wire netting
would be much cheaper.
