ONE HANGED
While Searching Parties Are Still
Looking for Other Negro Criminals
In Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Ca, July ga special
to the Morning News from cambridge,
Ca, says:
Since the assault on Mrs. Ogletree, at
Saffold, in Early county, last Thurs
day, hunting parties have been out in
search of the criminals. One of the ne
groes appeared at an old darkey's
house, near Brinson, Ca, and asked
to be harbored. The old man went to
Brinson with the information. A posse
returned with him and captured the
negro, who gave his name as Louis
Sammin. The man was taken to SAT-
fold, where he was identified by Mr.
and Mrs. Ogletree as one of their as
sailants. He said there were eight ne
groes in his gang, and that they came
from Augusta. He said two others Of
the gang were not far away. One por-
ton of the mob went in pursuit of
those two while the others of the mob
hung Sammin and riddled his body.
The other two negroes were overtaken,
shot and scalped, party bringing their

GREAT GRIEF
Continues to Abide With the Family
of the Late Col. Ingersoll--M Many
People Call for a Last Sight Of the
Beloved Dead.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The body of
Robert G. Ingersoll lay on an impro-
vised bier to-day in the bedroom in
which he died at the home of Walston
H. Brown, his son-in-law in Dobbs
Ferry. Many men of all sorts and con-
EDITIONS, but mostly humble toilers,
made the pilgrimage to Dobbs Ferry in
the hope that they might be permitted
to gaze once more upon the noted ag-
nostic In no instance was the request
refused. No arrangements whatever
have been made concerning the fun
eral. Mrs. Ingersoll and her daughters,
Mrs. Brown and Miss Maude 1ngersoll,
are still too much overcome with sor-
row to consider the matter.
"They cannot tear themselves from
the beloved dead said Mr.. Farrell to-
day They have not left the chamber
since he passed away, except to go into
an adjoining room when visitors who
wished to see him, called. They cannot
reconcile themselves to the idea that
they must part with him, and all aliu-
sions to the removal of the body only
cause distressing outburts of grief. 1t
may be few days before they are calm
enough to discuss the steps that neces-
sarily soon must be taken for the re-
moval of the body"
Mr.. Farrell expressed the conviction
that the body will be cremated. If it
is not it will be buried in Sleepy Hollow
cemetery, at Tarrytown, where Wash
ington Irving rests. If any funeral ex-
ercises are held it is expected that John
Clark Ridpath will deliver the eulogy.
At the request of the family, George
Grey Barnard the sculptor, who was
warm personal friend of the Colonel,
will visit the house tomorrow and
make death mask.

The Republican majority in the house
is manifesting a disposition to rush
financial legislation. Haste in the mat
ter is not likely to affect greatly the
final passage of a currency bill The
senate doubtless will as usual take its
own time for action. Besides the upper
house has a bill of its own for the re-
form Of the currency. which differs
from that of the house in some import
ant particulars. The main features of
the senate bill are as follows:
l. The gold standard of value is
affirmed, and the greenbacks and treas
ury notes are made payable in gold.
2 The secretary of the treasury is
required to set apart a reserve fund of
$50 100000 in gold coin for redemption
purposes The measure indicates the
means by which he shall keen this fund
replenished from the general treasury
or the sub treasures, or by the ex-
change of the redeemed notes for gold.
3 II the gold reserve shall at any
time fall below 500, 600 900 and the
secretary is unable to restore it by the
ordinary methods, he is authorized to
restore it by issuing 8 per cent bonds,
payable after one year at the pleasure
of the United States.
T. The secretary is directed to Issue
gold certificates in denominations of
not less than $50 in exchange for de-
posts Of gold coin, such issue to be

fail below 500, 0O0 600.

General Passenger Agent Black
Denies Alleged combination.
Says Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific Are Not in League.

General Passenger Agent Black Of
the Santa F'e stated today that there
was nothing in the alleged combination
for the control of California business.
said Mr.. Black. We have simply ar
ranged to get a fair share of the bust
ness to the Pacific coast and this in no
way prevents other roads from secur-
ing a fair share of the business also.
LAS far as a passenger rate war is
concerned, I don't regard it as likely
At the present day the authority of
general passenger agents is limited as
far as the inauguration Of rate wars is
concerned. The executive officials are
the men who pass upon such matters,
and they generally ask the advice of
the directors. When general passenger
agents talk of rate wars on their own
responsibility, there is usually nothing
to it. The men who control the rail-
roads don't care to have the revenues
reduced by rate cutting, if such can be
avoided"
The meeting of passenger men, called
in Chicago on December 10, by the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads,
may result in an effort to revive the
old TranscontinentaI Passenger assO-
citation. The TranscOntinental assOcia-
ton went out of existence the same as
other associations at the time of the
supreme court decision, and was never
revived along new lines The present
trouble among transcOntinental roads
may be productive of new assOcia-
ton to handle California business.

President Burt Advocates Tunneling

Omaha, Dec s.-President Burt, Engi-

inson of the Union Pacific road have gone
east to attend a meeting of the directors
of the company in New York. They will
urge upon the directors the necessity for
many physical improvements in the road
The most important of these will be the
tunneling of Sherman Hill, in Wyoming.
This is the steepest grade on the road
and has been a source Of constant ex-
pense and danger, as well a cause of
great delay to traffic. All efforts to find
a way to avoid the hill have proved futile
and the engineers say the only way is to
put up with present conditions OF tunnel
through the hill.
While the tunnel would be the longest
on the continent it is not thought to pre-
sent any great engineering problem.
