Fearful Death of the Negro
Who Assaulted Mrs. Lush
brook.
A PiTlLESS MOB.
They Threw Vitrlol and Pepper
into the Negro's Eyes and Then
Gouged Them Out-Suffered
Tortures in the Flames.

of a Thousand took Dick Coleman,
the cnlored murderer of Mrs.
Luchbrook from jail today and
burned him alive. The negro
murderer arrived at 1920 this
morning, un er special guard Of
deputy sheriffs, sworn in by the
sheriff, including Detective Fitz-
geral, Constable Dawson, Chief
OF Policc Donovan, all the police
and two deputy sheritfs. When
they arrived at the court house
they we're met by mob of fully
1000 people, headed by James
Lushbrook, the husband Of the
murdered woman, and they went
Immediately through the central
portion of the city to hill, fol
lowed by fully 5000 citizens.
This is the first time anything
Of the kind ever happened here
and excitement is intense.
All was done that was possible
by the sheriff and guard to pre-
vent the lynching, but in the face
OF such n mob, irrespective of
color, it was useless to attempt to
do.anything save deliver him up,
which was done. The mob grab
bed him and threw rope over hi,
head and took him up above tho
city. The wretch was heard above
the cries of the mob pleading for
mis- life.
The mob carried Coleman to u
small hollow near the railroad
tracks, where they bound him
tightly to young sap!ing. They
heaped huge pile of brushwood
and timber around him and fred
the stake, while his ewes rolled
horribly. Some one cut out his
eyes and in 9 moment his head
rolled round and he was believed
to be dead. The scene was an
awful one and around the funeral
pyre were thousands of maddened
people, headed by the husband of
the dead woman. A dozen torches
were applied simultaneously and
huge tongues Of fire swept up and
around the agonized wretch
Before the roasting began Cole
man was almost dead. The rope
had torn and lacerated his neck
and his fSce was terribly beaten
up. About $50 men were at the
Chesapeake and Ohio train last
night expecting him, but he failed
to come, and they waited for him
this morning.
CRIME FOR WHICH HE PAID.
The crime for which Coleman
was burned was the murder of
Mrs. James Lushbrook. who had
given him homo and food. She
was enticed by him to enter
shed and see about some work,
when he knocked her down and
assaulted her. The blow was
struck with an oak stave. This
was not effective and Coleman
dragged her to the bed and a mid
cries for mercy went to the house
and procuring razor cut her
throat. He went to the neigh>
bors and told the story of a my ysteri,
Gus murder. That night he was ar
rested and kept from the mob by
being hurried to Covington. At
Covington Jail he made full con
fession, which left no doubt of
guilt.
AS already announced, Judge
Harbeson will call special grand
jury vt once to consider the
charges against the leaders Of the
mob today. Blue vitriol and
cayenne pepper were thrown into.

The Ocean Currents.

The force, speed and direction Of
ocean currents are discovered by q
systematic plan Of throwing sealed
bottles overheard and in time reeeiY-
ing reports Of them.
These reports are indexed and class
fled, with the result that much valua-
bic information is gained about the
ocean currents.
For instance, a bottle was thrown
overheard November 10, 1896, was
picked up March 90 1898, during
which time it had drlfted 4,700 miles.
Another that was thrown over near
Nantucket was found, 512 days later,
pff the coast Of Scotland. Another,
starting from Cape Cod, brought up
bit Cornwall, having travelled $500
miles In 600 days.
Some bottles, however, have shown
IN average speed of thirty-one miles
per day, while others have Travelled
along at the slower rate of twenty-six,
fourteen, and even four miles per day.
In the Pacific ocean there are fewer
chances Of the bottles being picked up,
but the experiments are tried there
with fair success. AS the work goes
on. the number Of bottles used Is In
creasing, and the captains and skip
pers are becoming accustomed to ind
ing the bottles and reporting them t.
the bureau.-St. Nicholas for April.
