ANOTHER RAPE
FIEND SWINGS.
He Is Identified by Mrs. Og-
letree, His Victim.
CONFESSED HIS CRIME.
He Belonged To A Gang Of
Jail Breakers.

BAINBR1DGE, Ga, July 73.-
One negro lynched by hanging
after being tortured, two found
dead, who were possibly lynched,
and an excited mob chasing FIVE
other negroes is the situation
regarding the Ogletrse outrage
to- day. There is the widest
excitement throughout this sec>
ton of the State, and it is feared
by the law-abiding citizens that
others will be put to death by
those who are searching tor the
negroes implicated in the as
sault on Mrs. Ogletree at SAT-
fold, Ga Thursday night.
Late last night Louis SAM
Minis, big, yellow negro, who
answered to the description of
one of the men who committed
the assault, near Crimson, Ca,
and at midnight he was taken
to Saffold, and Mrs. Ogletree
positively identified him He
then made a full confession,
swearing that he belonged to
band OF seven other negroes who
recently broke jail at Augusta,
Ca, and who had been in hid>
ing in the Chattahoochee river
bottoms near Saffold for several
weeks.
He said that he and another
of the gang were selected to rob |
the Ogletree store and divide
the spoils with their pals in the
swamp. No assault on the wo-
man was contemplated until the
:Wo negroes saw her. Sammins
gave the names of his compani-
ons in the crime and described |
hem.
This morning at sunrise Sam
nins was taken to an oak tree
GEAR the Ogletree house. He
Vas chained to the tree and
parts of his body were cut off.
A stout rope was tied around
lis neck and lie was told that he
could pray it he wanted to be-
ore being hanged.
"Oh, Lord. have mercy Oh my
SOUL" was all he could say.
With a great shout from 200
men, 50 of them pulled away on
he long rope and up shot Sam.

He. kicked and swayed for ten
minutes and then life became
extinct. His body was riddled
with bullets by the mob as it
dispersed. The body was left
banging to the limb today as
an object lesson to the negroes
IF the community.
Sammins was captured by the
assistance of a negro. He ap-
pealed to Thomas Lindsay, a
young mulatto, for help to es-
cape and Lindsay promptly
turned the outlaw over to the
posse.

INGERSOIL
Is DEAD.
The Great Agnostic Dies
Without a Sigh.
SITTING IN A CHAIR.
The Message Came Suddenly
And Without Warning.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
| died at his home, Walstou or
Hudson, near Dobbs Ferry, Sat
urday. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted
from the heart disease from
" hich he had suffered since
1896. For several days Mr.,
1ngersoll had not been feeling
we'll, but seemed to be in better
health and spirits when he re-
tired Friday night than he had
been for some days. Saturday
morning he arose at the usual
hour and joined the family at
break fast. He then said he had
spent bad night, but felt bet
ter. He had been suffering from
abdominal pains and tightness
about the chest. He did not
think his condition at all dan
gerous.
Colonel Ingersoll spent the
morning swinging in a ham,
mock and sitting on the veranda
with the members of the family.
He said he was better and had
no pain. AT 1890 he started to
60 up stairs. On reaching the
head of the stairs Col. Ingersoll
turned into his "ife's room.
Mrs. Ingersoll was there. To-
gether they discussed what they
would have for luncheon, and
Col. Ingersoll said he had better
not eat much, owing to the
trouble with his stomach. He
seemed in good spirits then.
After talking for a few minutes
Col. Ingersoll crossed the re ON
and sat down in rocking chair. |
He leaned his head upon his
hand, which rested on the back !
IF the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll
asked him how he was feeling,
md he replied:
ooh, better" These were his
asst words. A second after they
we're uttered he was dead. The
only sign noticed by Mrs. In
sersoll was that the whites of
his eyes suddenly showed. |
There was not even a sigh or a |
sroan as death came. Doctors
were hasterly called, but their
verdict was that death had come
instantly.
Mrs. Ingersoll was the only
person in the room with him
when he died. Death came toI
him as he had recently express
ed a desire it should. He often
in old times said ne wished to
lie slowly with a full conscious
ness, so he might tell those about
him how it felt. Recently he
a change of desire
to die painlessly and without
warning.

COUNTY OFFICERS Salaries.
Judiciary Committee Has About Agreed
Upon the Amounts.

The committee on Judiciary of the
Legislature has decided on the salaries
of the various county officers under
the new constitution. The committee
will recommend to the House that the
salaries be fixed as follows:
New Castle county-Clerk of the
peace, $4,000; register of wills, 1000;
register in chancery and clerk of the
Orphans Court, $1,000; prothonotary,
$4,000; recorder of deeds, $4,000; sher-
1T, $4,000; coroner, GOO.
Kent and Sussex counties Clerks of
the peace, $4,000 each; registers Of
wills, $1,000 each; registers in chan
Gerry and clerks of the Orphans Court,
$1,000 each; prothonotaries, $1,000
each; recorder of deeds, 81 800 each;
sheriffs, $4,000 each; cOrOners, $500
each.
1t is expected that an attempt will be
made to increase the salaries of some
of the officers before the bill is passed.
This is one of the most important
measures of the season, and it is es-
sential to carry out the provisions of
the constitution which abolishes the
fee system.
