LYNCHERS INDICTED
A True Bill iu the Federal Courts gains
Thirteen Wen for Killing a Negro
Postmaster I'm South CarOIina

Charleston, S. c., April TN the
United States circuit court here today,
Judge Brawley, presiding, a true bill
was found by the grand jury against
thirteen of the men accused of lynch
ing Frazer P. Baker at Lake City, S. c.,
February %, 1898. Fifteen men are
under arrest, but no explanation of the
dropping of two names from the in
dictment was given. Before giving the
case out Judge Brawley delivered an
impressive charge; he did so, he said,
owing to the u~nuSualnesS and gravity
of the case. He sketched in outline the
offenses of which the prisoners were
accused and defined the duties Of the
jurors in the premises. The crime was
one of the blacklist eve perpetrated in
South Carolina, he said, and it was the
duty of the government to prosecute to
the fullest extent any or all Of the men
who might have been implicated in its
commission. The jury retired and
brought in the bill after being out less
than an hour.

Jamaica Wants Annexation TO the
United states

Kingston, ia. April THE council
adjourned today, leaving the political
situation almost chaotic, the represent
tatives having passed a vote of censure
on the officers OF the government and
having adopted a resolution demands
ing their removal, including the gov
ernor, Sir Augustus Hemming.
Last night, throughout the rural
parishes, mass meetings were held n
effigies OF Joseph Chamberlain. he
British secretary OF state for the coll
onies; Governor Hemming and Mr.. Pa
lache, a representative, who at the
final crisis. voted with the government
and who holds a government appoint
ment, were burned. There were no
other violent developments. but the
leaders are reported to be formulating
a monster popular ultimatum to the
imperial government demanding the
restoration of the original utonomou
constitution OF 1866, with the alternative
Of annexation TO the United States.
The a~gitators say that IL both demands
are refused and a coercive policy Is
maintained serious trouble may de-
velop.

10y and Minnie Bogue jumped from
the rear OF the fourth floor to the ex-
tesion, from which they were taker
down.
Nellie Quinn was cut of ON the
fourth floor. and appeared at "a
front window about TO jump.
The crowd yelled TO her to wait.
but there was no time, as the flames
We're licking her clothes. The desper-
ate woman put her hand over her eyes
and jumped, as she thought, TO the
ground, but instead landed on the roof
OF the bow window one story below
and lay there stunned. Policeman
Louis c. Wagner, McInery and Hillman
saw the woman's peril, and running
into the house at No. s went TO the
fourth floor. Wagner was held by the
heels and he made a thrilling rescue of
the frantic woman.
The firemen managed TO condne the
1re in this house TO the third and
dfourth floors. The body OF Mary
Loughlin was found at the foot OF the
stairs leading to the roof.
About 6 o'clock the firemen had suf-
ncient mastery over the fire TO permit
a search Of the Adams house. They
found the bodies of the two remaining
ST. John children, and the bodies OF
what are thought to be the two SER
wants, Marie Roth and Kate Downing.
At 11:15 O'Clock the firemen found
Mr.. Andrews body. Il was badly
burned and parts Of the legs were mis-
sing. 1t was not recognizable, but was
identified later in the day by the filing
of the teeth.
At 3 O'Clock the workers in the de-
bris found . body Of large stature, but
badly burned. II was identified, later,
by a dentist as that of Mrs. Andrews.
AT various other times before 5 o'clock
the workers found the charred remains
OF four more persons, probably the
servants.
The fire was in the wealthiest part
OF the city. Rumors that the fire was
of incendiary origin were investigated
during the day and found to have their
basis in the fact that there was a quar-
rel among the servants in Mr.. Andrews
country home last summer, resulting
in the discharge of one Of the servants.
One Of the domestic received an anon
ymous letter last week which she show
ed to the police, but it contained no
threats and was dismissed as being a
trivial matter.
The amount of damage to property
is estimated at about $780, 00, pretty
we'll covered by insurance.
Mr.. st. John arrived in New York at
3 o'clock this afternoon over the Penn
sylvania railroad. He went at once to
his home, perfectly ignorant OF the
reasons which caused the sudden sum-
non for him to New York, and when
he saw the ruins of his house and was
told of the horrible fate of his wife
and three children he bore up manfully,
though it was apparent that he had to
summon all his strength of will to do
it.

with Mr.. White, quotes him as saying
hit does not know why Great Britain
condemns the attitude of the German
representatives at Samoa; as assuring
the interviewer that the British jim
goes will not control the American poll

differentiation of the three akin ma
tons" He is then said to have added:
But just now certain influences in
England forbid the realization of this
desire. 1 am hopeful, however, that
Germany will eventually overcome the
evil influences.

saying the American government is
strongly inclined to live in harmony
with Germany.
