ton as one of the bravest fighters in the
army. He always led his regiment and
had achieved remarkable popularity
with his men since the war began, al
though, during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers, who were not used to the

A FIENDISH REVENGE
Horrible Work. of an 1dfuriated Mob
+. in Georgia. "
After Cutting Off a Negroes Ears and
Fingers They Burn Him mt the
Stake-Another Negro
Strung Up.

Newman, Ga, April 24.-Sam Hose,
the murderer of Alfred Crawford and
the ravisher of his wife, was burned at
the stake two miles from here at $3.50
Sunday afternoon in the presence of
1850 people. 49,.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his ears,
fingers and other portions of his anat-
omy. 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 cold, it was cut to pieces, the bones
were 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
i'll several pieces, as was also his liver.
Those unable to obtain the CHASTITY rel
les direct paid their more fortunate
possessors extravagant sums for them.
Small pieces of bone went for Is cents,
and bit of the liver, crisply cooked,
sold for ten cents. AS soon as the negro
was seen to be dead there was a tre-
mendous struggle among the crowd
which had witnessed his tragic end to
secure the souvenirs. A rush was made
for the stake, and those near the body
were forced against it, and had to fight
for their freedom. Knives were quick
ly produced and the body was soon dis
mem ered.
The mob was composed of citizens of
Newman, Griffin, Palmetto and other
little towns in the country round about
Newman, and of all the farmers who
had received word that the burning was
to take place.
Made a Partial Confession.
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
SIP by ''Lige" Strickland, negro
preacher at Palmetto, to kill Crawford.
Strickland Also Lynched.
Palmetto, Ga, April 25.-The body of
lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Crawford
murder by Sam Hose, was found swing
ing to the limbs of persimmon tree
within mile and quarter of this
place early Monday. Before death was
allowed to end the sutferings of the
negro, his ears were cut off and the
small finger of his left hand was severed
at the second joint. On the chest of the
negro was scrap of blood-stained note
paper attached with an ordinary pin.
On one side of this paper was written:
New York Journal-We must protect
our ladies, $780," The other side of the
paper contained a warning to the ne
groes of the neighborhood. It read as
follows: Beware, all darkies. You
will be treated the same way
Before being finally lynched Strick-
land was given a chance to confess to
the misdeeds of which the mob sup
posed him to be guilty, but he protested
his innocence until the end.

PERSONS who are compelled to make
use Of public drinking fountains may
relieve their minds to a great extent of
fear of infectious microbes by supplying
themselves with lip guard and pro-
tector which has been recently pat
ented by Alvah G. Tebbets, of Boston.
It is merely a metal or rubber shield
which slips over the edge of the drink
ing glass and is held in place by the
natural spring of the material. This
prevents ones lips from coming in con-
tact with the edge of the glass, and
thereby prevents infection.

SxTY-oNE men were kept busy serv-
ing the wines and mineral waters at
the Croker $40 dinner in New York
few days ago. They had nothing
else to do while the banquet lasted,
and this was fortunate, for their time
was fully employed in dispensing the
5000 quarts of champagne, and the
1900 quarts of other kinds of wine.
OF all this, it was affirmed at the
close of the banquet, not drop was
left. The 2,4o0 quarts of mineral
water, however proved more than
ample.

THERE is a new rival to the chamois
skin vests SO long worn by women for
extra warmth. These new vests are
of paper. Those who have worn them
pronounce them less bulky, just as
warm and less expensive than the
chamois. They are so cheap, indeed,
that they can be thrown away and a
new one purchased without troubling
the conscience of the woman with only
a moderate purse.

and the surgeons, professors, operating
staff and students, men and women, of
the American School of Osteopathy, to-
gether with all the other doctors in the
town, formed rescue and hospital corps
and in the darkness and rain are hunt
ing out the unfortunates, to set frac-
tured bones, bandage the lacerated and
ease the pain of anguished hearts.
This work is superintendent by May
or Noonan and the various physicians.
Rescuing corps are lifting roofs and
searching the Easements of houses all
along the edge of the death track.
Cabs, express wagons, private convey
ances and stretchers are all in service,
yet the supply is wholly inadequate,
and many needy ones are lmping out
of the wreckage and making their way
as best they can.
Half a dozen wrecked dwellings
took fire Immediately after the cyclone
had passed. The fire bells rang out
call for help, but there were none
with time to stop these isolated fires.
Lurid lights from these bonfres now
illuminate the city, and are helping
the rescuers to carry on their errand
of mercy.
Kent's undertaking establishment is
being used as the charnel house, and
a score of the dead are now there, some
of them unidentified. The homes lust
outside of the path of the cyclone are
open, and people, are speechless with
gratitude for the deliverance of loved
ones, and themselves are doing all
they can to give comfort to other sor-
rowing hearts.
The storm drove his chariot of wind
and cloud in awful grandeur. The
coming was announced with a roar
like fast train crossing a viaduct,
with deep mufied rumble of distant
thunder behind it.
There was suction from both sides,
and before the advancing column, while
steady, crunching, >crackling, grind.
ing noise kept up. These undertones
were the houses and trees that snapped
before the cyclone.
The cyclone approached Kirksville
from the southwest. At distance it
seemed to be making for the fair
grounds, and people at the school of
osteopathy on the west side of town
watched it's coming for two minutes in
fear that it was bearing down upon
them.
Before reaching the the town limits,
however, it veered further east and
cleared the state normal school with
out touching it. Patterson's nursery,
just west, was swept down clean. ,
Marcus Wards young ladies' seminal
ry was couple of hundred yards east
Of the storms path. and hotel build
ing close to it was demolished. A score
of guests stood upon the porticos and
in the dining room of the Still house
half mile west of the storms path
and saw it sweep through the town,
terrified at the manifestation of the
ruin and death it was wreaking.
Roofs blew ahead of the blast like
leaves seemingly far in front OF the re-
volving spout of cloud. Now and then
a great branching tree would be tossed
up in the arms of the blast, high over
the city, and spin on ahead like wheat
straw out Of threshing machine "a
