DOUBLE LYNCHING TODAY.
Five of the snffoId Gang Already
Dead.


CAMBRIDGE. GA. July 24-There
will be a double lynchlng in West Balm
bridge early tomorrow. unless something
unforeseen occurs. Two more members
Of the band Of robbers, murderers, and
assailants OF women are I'm the hands OF
a determined posse Of whites.
One Of the captiyes is Charles Mack,
the companion In crime Of Louis Sammin,
who was lynched yesterday. Ii was
Sammin and Mack who assaulted Mrs.
Ogletree, in the presence OF her husband,
at Saffold, one holding a pistol at the
head Of the husband to prevent his inter
ference.
MOB NOT TO BE FoILED.
Mack was captured at Iron City by a
white man named Cardell. Cardell tried
TO get his prisoner through 10 Jail. and
hence secreted him. a mob of several
hundred country people met Cardell and
asked the whereabouts Of his prisoner.
He declined 10 say. a rope was quickly
put about his neck, and he was given 10
minutes in which TO give up the negro
or his life. He then told where the man
was. In short while the crowd had
Mack. While arrangements for the lynch
ing were in progress a telegram came
from Iron city that another member Of
the gang had been captured.
IL would require several hours 10 get the
new prisoner 10 the scene so IL was de-
termined 10 postpone the execution of
Mack until tomorrow, at which time II
is proposed 20 have a double hanging,
for the purpose Of impressing other pos
sible members of the gang, who are not
yet known.
SAMAuN CONFESSED.
Before sammin was lynched he con-
fessed. and said that he and Mack had
robbed the Oglatrees, and that both had
assaulted the woman. While they were
committing their crimes, he said, six
other negroes, whose names ne gave, were
on watch outside. Mack is said TO have
confessed, corroborating Sammin's state
ment. The men. ne said. were banded
together for murder, robbery. and as
sault upon women. Five of the negroes
named, including Sammin. are now dead,
and every indication fayOrs the death OF
two more tomorrow.
The information is that the prisoner
from Iron City will arrive at 200 4. NJ,
and that the lynchlng will probably oc-
cur shortly thereafterward.

WIRELESS TORPEDOEs.
The Weapons steered from shore
With 80 Material Connection.
london Daily MaiL)


Contemporaneous with the sitting OF
the International Peace Conference
comes the announcement OF new inyen-
ton by which torpedoes are to be rem
dered more deadly in modern warfare
than heretofore.
The invention. due TO Messrs. Walter
Jameson and John Trotter, consists in
utilizing the ethereal or "Hertzian'
waves, which are the basis OF wireless
telegraphy. as a means of steering and
controlling torpedOes on their deadly mis-
sions.
The apparatus is made in several
forms. which differ principally In the
means by which the current induced by
the waves is applied To the steering me-
chanism The best arrangement consists
of a coil Of iron wire or "solenoid' that
becomes magnetic on receiving the ethe-
real waves. and Is thus rendered capa-
bic of sucking into itself magnet the
motion of which brings about any re-
CURED change in the steering gear Of the
torpedo
The latter is fitted with two rods,
which project above the water and serve
as receivers is, means OF col
lecting the waves. Each Of the rods Is
i'm connection with a coil OF the type de-
scribed one on the right of the torpedo
and one on the left. and. according as
the right-hand or the left-hand rod alb
serbs the waves, so the torpedo is guided
10 the right or left.
The means adopted in using the appa-
ratus is as follows: Suppose that the
torpedo is fired in the usual manner
and that it's course is seen 20 swerve
from it's proper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately dis
patched by the processes used In wireless
telegraphy in such a manner than they
only affect either the right-hand or LETT
hand coil controlling the helm, which Is
thus turned in any required direction
and the original course Of the torpedo
reproduced.
When this IS accomplished the electric
waves are stopped and the helm HES
back 20 the midshlp position
Large models OF the apparatus have
been experimented with, and IL is said
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since the
new method Of guiding torpedoes IS
greatly superior to the old. which made
use Of electric wires, il is evident that
the new invention will be an important
factor in future naval warfare.

The United States army has been most
