Hurricane Sweeps Australia.

Vancouver, B. c., April 2O.-Advices
have been received here of a terrible
hurricane off the coast of Australia
last month. Over 400 persons were
drowned. Many vessels went down
during the storm in harbors and fears
are entertained for the safety of n
number of ships that were overdue.
The force of the wind was SO great
that stones were imbedded in trees to
a depth of six inches. A large num-
ber OF bodies have been buried. Trees
were stripped of leaves and branches.
The beaches are strewn with fish and
boats. The damage is $3.50, O,000.

Judge Peabody of St. Louis, who holds
husband is justified in chastising his
wife in moderation. The trouble is
that wives have lately developed an in
clination to do the chastising them
selves. Two recent instances in the
daily papers illustrate this tendency.
One was that of Mrs. Albina Chemlik
of Chicago, who, upon being reproved
by her husband, broke stove leg
over his head. The other concerns
Mrs. Sarah Adams of Camden, N. j.,
who found her husband in a saloon
when he should have been at home
and proceeded to spank him coram
publico. 1t is obvious that Judge
Psabody's ruling will afford little
comfort to Messrs. Chemlik and
Adams, nor will it aid husbands whose
wives are expert in the handing Of
rolling pins and teakettles as weapons
of offense and defense. Judge Pea
body may decree that the wife should
submit to chastisement, but II the lady
disregard the ruling 1t is going to be
dificult to enforce it. We doubt II
the learned Judge will institute con-
tempt proceedings to sustain his de-

BURNED AT THE STAKE,
Incredible PunIshment Melted Out to .
Georgia Criminal

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
public road one and a half miles from
here this afternoon.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre 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 it 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 l will testify against you"
4 member of the mob was seen to
draw a 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.
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford, a
white farmer near Palmetto. and out
ragged his wife ten days ago. Since
that time business in that part of the
state has been suspended and the en-
tire population turned out in an effort
to capture Hose. He successfully elud-
ed pursuit until discovered near Ma
con.
Hose confessed to killing Crawford,
but denied that he had outraged Mrs.
Crawford. Before being put to death
the negro stated that he had been paid
S12 by Lige Strickland. a negro preach
er at Palmetto. to kill Crawford. To
night a mob of citizens is securing the
country for Strickland, who has left
his home.

new PLAYER COMING.
Manager Leonard Expects
O'NeiI of Halifax for
Second Base.

Worcester has a new ball player. who
was expected last evening, but he didn't
come. His name is ONeil and his
position is second base, the position
that has been weak all season on the
Worcester team. Boyle has played the
bag better than any other man and
he will not be released. He will ac-
company the team on its trip as utility
man. According to Manager Leonard,
toNeil was expected by the manage
ment last evening and Manager Leon
+ ard was at the Union station when the
midnight arrived, but ONeil did not
come. He was to play second in to-
days game at Webster and Klopf was
| to go to the bench for rest, his fingers
being knocked out. Boyle was to do
duty at short. If O'Neil comes this
morning, in season te'-join the team
at Webster, that arrangement will be
made
O'Nell is a find of Mike Sullivan, who
| pitched a game for Boston last week
Sullivan saw him playing on a semi

and says he is as good a man as Will

where near as good as Williams, he
will be the find Of the season. Sulli-
Van by the way, picked Williams last
| year for a star and recommended him
| to Manager Selee, but when the latter
tried to secure Williams he found Pitts
burg had an option on the player. If

as well as the first, he ought to go into

promptly, and there the matter ended,
as Manager Leonard and Manager Sc

to Sign. The offer was in advance of
the salary that Kuhns is now receiv-
ing. Kuhns evidently did not stop to
think Boston can give him his 10 days
notice any time, if that team wants
to save a months salary for which he
will not work. OF course, he will be
free to sign any place then, but he
couldn't do better than sign with Wor-
