A Jealous Mans Crime.

FORT SMITH, Ark, June 12-John
Moore, recently a member of the Sal
vation army here, became jealous of
mis- wife, alleging that she was receiv-
ing too much attention from the cap
tain of the Salvation army. Moore and
his wife separated.
Sunday he met her and the captain
taking a walk together. He drew a
pistol and fired two shots at
the captain. Neither took effect.
Then Moore shot his wife
dead and with the fourth and last bull
let killed himself. Moore has been a

SARDD, Miss, June IL - Simon
Brooks, colored, was lynched by mob
of 500 Negroes near here, having been
taken from the jail some time between
midnight and dawn. The crime, which
thus avenged, was most atrocious-
Saturday night a Negress named
Armistead while returning from
shopping tour to herhome
was assaulted by Brooks and
another Negro. The woman was out
ragged, her throat was cut and she was
severely beaten about the head
and her jaws were tightly tied
to prevent breathing. Her body was
then concealed in rubbish. The woman
rallied sufficiently to give the alarm
and the names of her assailants- Part
of the goods taken from the woman
was later found in a trunk belonging
TO Brooks. The mob which was COM
posed entirely of Negroes, did its work
quietly. The white people knew moth
ing of the affair hours after it occurred.

ROLLs-wORK ON THE wARsHIPs.
Commodore Philip Will find a hearty welcome
when he assumes command OF the Navy Yard In
about n fortnight lie has spent considerable time
at the station and made large number OF friends
here. No changes are expected in his Office stan.
which has the routine business OF the yard so sys-
tematzed that the commanding officer is relieved
OF a large amount OF drudgery over details
The departure OF .he Shearwater for the use Of
the Ncw-Jersey naval militia the principal
change in the list OF ships at the yard in the last
week OF the year. The Massachusetts IL still In
the big drydock. and Is not likely to get out FOR
somo time. The tug Traffic IL having a good over
hauling. and as number OF rotten timbers nave
been found in her frame she has been partially
stripped Of her sheathing and new pieces were IN
serted. She attracts considerable attention In the
stone dock
number Of changes will be made a conse-
Quence OF the reduced amount OF money left to
carry the work Of the yard until the approprla-
tons for the next fiscal year become available
About hundred and seventy-fve men VIII be
dropped from the machine shop rolls. and num-
Der from the shops OF the construction department
There is not much activity at the yard at present
save In the way OF work planned some time ago.
The water-tube boilers OF the torpedo-boats are
being retubed and some OF them have been found
TO 10 pretty badly burned. The Indiana's ma
chinery is rapidly approaching completion. and the
Newarks is almost ready for use. On the Atlanta
there is steady but small amount OF work being
done and the other ships are practically idle.
Some questioning the part OF visitors is caused
by the fact that the Indiana and the chicago are
the only two war vessels at the yard which have
the reguls ton OF white with bun upper works
and tunnels. The Massachusetts. the Newark, the
Atlanta and the smaller boats will wear their war
paint. and will not be changed until 1t has had
more wear. AS they are not likely TO leave port
soon there is no particular hurry about giving
them the peace color. although the Massachusetts,
will probably be painted as soon as she comes out
OF the drydock.
