CHARLEY MACK HANGED.
Taken to SnffOId and Strung Up Be-
side His Partner an Crime.


side His Partner an Crime.
Bainbridge, Ca, July 25.-Charley Mack
the second of the Ogletree rapists, was
captured at a negro cabin in the neighbor-
hood of Iron City yesterday morning be-
fore daylight, and kept in concealnent
nearly all day, in order to get him to
cambridge for delivery to the sheriff of
Decatur to secure the Governors reward.
When his captors got him 10 West Balm
bridge at a late hour last night they were
met by a crowd of determined citizens,
who forbade their coming into town with
him, because the crime of which he was
guilty was committed in another county,
and they did not intend for an innocent
community to suffer the odium of a
lynching, which would have certainly oc-
Cured had the negro been brought to De-
catur county Jail.
The men having the villain in charge
were advised TO carry him back to the
scene of his crime for identification, and
this was done on the west bound train
about 2:3O o'clock this morning, number
going along to see the safe delivery of the
william in Early county
Saffold was reached and the crowd
in the meantime seemed 10 have decided
to mete out justice. All got off the train
TO find the body of Mack's ac-
complete, Louis Sammins, still suspended
where it was hanged just forty-eght hours
before. Mack was carried before his vic
tim. Mrs. Ogletree, and fully Unidentified by
her. and he then confessed everything, ex-
cent the fact of his holding his pistol to
Osletree's head while Sammis outraged his
wife. This he denied.
Mack was tied to the big oak tree and
a number of the mob took their knives
and cut off parts of his body, mutilaung
and torturing the negro as much as posi-
bic. He was then tied up with ropes,
and as the mob pulled him through the
air, several hundred shots were fired at
the body.
The men fired in regular military order.
The body was cut to pieces after part of
the mob had dispersed The negroes here
are making some threats, but no trouble
is feared, as the whites are all thoroughly
armed and ready to suppress any outbreak
that may be made.
A yellow negro woman was with Mack
when he was captured, and. although she
was NOT molested, she has since told tina.
she knew the whereabouts of all the rest
and all about the gang. A posse is look
ing for her and also still searching for
the other negroes.
The reports sent out to the effect that
two other negroes had been killed and
scalped in the lower part of this county
lacks authenticity. The sheriff says that
he knows nothing authentic, and that he
believed the report false in toto. This is
borne out by citizen from that section

An Unknown Negro Shot and Killed
Atlanta, July 25.-A special from Lees
burg, Ga, says:
An unknown negro was shot and killed
in a remote part of this county yesterday
by a posse composed of three men. There
were two negroes in hiding in that vicin-

of the Bainbridge gang. G. A. Mcdonald,
who discovered the negroes, came to town
and reported the matter.
Both the sheriff and his deputy being out
of town. Mr.. Mcdonald was advised to
get up posse and arrest the negroes
This he did, getting w. E. Smith and
w. H. Sanders to accompany him on his
mission. When the negroes were approach

ARMOR THEY WILL CARRY.
Board of Construction Considered
Plans Submitted.

Plans Submitted.
Washington, Judy 25.-Ever since the
navy department amended the plans for
the new battleship Maine, Ohio and Mis-
souri,, so as to provide for, an increase of
their speed from 16 to IS knots an hour,
the board of construction has been con-
sidering questions that have arisen as a
result Of the change in the original plans.
To-day the board dealt with the ques-
ton Of the amount of the armor to be car
ried The Cramps, the builders of the
Maine submitted plans looking to a re-
ducton of the main armor belt from
twelve to ten and a half inches in order to
provide for extension of the belt clear
around the ship The board, however, &C
cepted the plans prepared by Chief Con-
suuctor Hichborn, which provide for a
main armor belt of eleven inches, casemate
ermor Of seven inches, and the extension
Of the armor adj around the ship on this
basis.
The result is to increase the weight of
the armor over the amount contemplated
IN the Cramps plans by thirty-eight tons.
but Otherwise the board holds that the bat
tleships will be much improved by the
change. The Missouri, at Newport News,
and the Ohio, at the Union Iron w orks,
are affected by the decision equally with
the Maine.

CROPS IN THE STATE.

W hat the weather Bureaus BuIIc-
tin shows About Them.
Atlanta, July 25.-The weekly crop bull
letin Of the weather bureau, issued to-day
gives the following summary of crop con-
ditions in Georgia:
The drought has been broken in most
sections of the state by good rains on
July 20 and p. Up to that time crops
were in a most critical condition, falling
daily for want Of moisture. The rain,
seem to have been less general in the
eastern and northeastern sections where
crops are still suffering more or less.
Early corn has been too badly damaged
to make anything like a full yic.d, but
late paintings are already showing the
good effects OF the rains.
Cotton is generally small, coming to the
top, in many sections being injured by
boil worms and shedding its fruit and
leaves. In a few counties il is opening
prematuresly. Melons ore failing and me
quality is generally far below the average.

work OF THE SECRET SERVICE.
Dealings of the Division With COun-
terfciters During the Year.

ttEAeIteES During the y ear.
Washington. July 25,-The thirty fourth
annual report of the secret service devil
sion submitted to Secretary Gage by Chief
Wilkie to-day, shows that during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899, $40 persons were
arrested for making or passing counterfeit
money and kindred crimes. OF these aS
were convicted and 29S are awaiting ac-
ton Of the courts. The acquittals were
less than "a per cent. OF 70 cases unde-
termined at the close of the previous year,
Ga We're convicted.
New York state led the years record
with 9S cases, Pennsylvania mad n; Mis-
sour, SO; Indiana, Al; Illinois 80, and so on
down to one each for South Dakota, Ida
no and Mississippi. Neither Vermont New
Hampshire, nor Rhode Island had a case.
There were 1873 uatve-born Americans
among the prisoners; eighly-nine hailed
from Italy, twenty-three from Germany
seventeen from Ireland, and eight from
Greece.
The counterfeit money captured and Sc
cured consisted of S55,6s9 in notes and $780,
IT'S in coin 3 total of $76 ACT. The list Of
captured plates embraces some of the
finest workmanship ever turned out by
counterfeiters, including those for the ia
nous $1OO Monroe head" silver certih-
cate and other 500 plates; also those for
$50, $40 $40, s. and %, the latter including
the Hancock" head and Window sill
Yer certificates, for which the members
of the division had vainly sought for
more than eight years and finally cap
tured in the hands of the Johnson Broth
ers at Detroit, In August, 1898.
There were also the beautiful internal
revenue stamp plates made by the Taylor
and Jacobs gang. The total number of
captured plates was 267. There We're also
twenty-five dies for striking gold and s.i-
yer coins, and 413 moulds for the running
of spurious coin, the largest number cap
tured in a single year.
Fifteen new counterfeit notes made their
appearance during the year, but of these
only two were considered dangerous, and
less than half a dozen of these particular
notes ever got into circulation.
The report touches briefly upon the IA
nous Philadelphia case, and Chief Wilkit
pays a tribute to Operators Burns, Nc
Manus, Murphy and Griffin for their splen-
did work in connection with this partic-
ular case.
