AWFUL REVENGE.
Three Negroes Lynched in Georgia.
Two Are Scalpel After BE-
ing Shot.

cambridge, Ca, July 24.-Three me-
groes were lynched during Saturday
night near Saffold, Ca, and the mob is
hunting for five more who are believed
to have been members of gang that
robbed j. i. Ogletree, agent of the
Plant system at Saffold, Thursday
night, afterward binding him and as
saulting his wife in his presence. Since
the crime was committed hunting par
ties have been out in search of the
guilty negroes. One of the negroes ap-
peared at an old darkey's hut near Brin-
son, Ga, and asked to be harbored. The
old man went to Brinson and Informed
the authorities of his presence. A
posse returned with him and captured
the negro, who gave his name as Louis
Sammin. The man was taken to SAT-
fold, where he was identified by Mr..
and Mrs. Ogletree as one of their assail-
ants. He said there were eight negroes
in his gang and that they came from
Augusta. He said two of the gang were
not far away. One portion of the mob
went in pursuit of these two while the
other hanged Sammin and riddled his
body with bullets. The other two were
overtaken, shot and scalped, party
bringing their scalps to Saffold Satur-
day evening. A hundred men with
bloodhounds are after the remaining
five members of the gang, and if caught
they will be lynched.

A Luck-kiSs.

Probably no class of workers are
tirmer believers in luck signs than the
cab drivers, who stand o nights at
prominent street corners waiting for
calls to duty. About a dozen of them
were gathered with their vehicles at
Broad and Chestnut streets the other
night when the discussion turned upon
the prevailing dull business. what else
could be expected of a Friday night ?"
asked one of the cabbies. Just then a
colored lad of about five years of age
with very black face, shiny eyes and
bare legs, sauntered along, having
given up hope Of selling the few papers
he still carried under his arm. ''Just
for luck," called out one of the cabmen,
as he lifted the boy in his arms and
planted smacking kiss on his lips.
Then he passed the tot to another jehu,
who also kissed the pickaninny. Be.
fore the youngster had fairly recovered
from his surprise he had been kissed by
every cabman. Then he was allowed
to go on his way. In speaking of the
incident afterward, one of the cabmeD
stated that he and all his companions
enjoyed the biggest nights business
known for months, after they had
kissed the black boy, '.just for lucl. -

State Fair Notes.

J. D. Gillispie Of Morris has been Sc
lected as assistant to Secretary Randall
during the fair. Mr.. Gillispie has
served satisfactorily in that capacity
before and is well known to exhibitors.
In the horse department., R. A. Stone
has been selected as clerk of the course
and d. K. Stacy as assistant in the
speed department. Both these are re-
appointments fairly earned at previous
fairs. a, - y - =
e. G. Lyford, OF Minneapolis, has
oeen designated as official veterinarian
OF the, fair, and will have an office in
the building with the superintendent
OF live stock departments. It will be
his duty to determine whether animals
offered for exhibition are sound, or
otherwise, and he will also be within
call in case the service of a veterinarian
il needed.
Those interested in creamery, dairy
or print butter should note that ex-
hloltors get an increase in pro rata
premiums quite worth struggling fol
this year. from the fact that all entry
fees in the dairy department are to be
added to the sum to be pro rated among
exhibitors. This amounts to a large
increase in these premiums, and makes
1t certain that the exhibit will be
larger than ever before.

A HEAVY SHORTAGE.
Former Secretary of Chicago Board
of Education n Defaulter to the
Extent of $34,5OO.

Chicago, July 19.-William A. S. Gra-
ham, eN-school agent, clerk and secre-
tary of the board CT education, is self
confessed defaulter in the sum of-$34,-
500. Positive proof of shortage was
discovered Tuesday, together with
letter left by Graham authorizing the
conveyance of all his property for the
purpose of liquidating the shortage.
The ex-secretary left the city. and
agents of his bondsmen, the Ma
tional Surety company, the New York
& City Trust and Safety Deposit COM
pany of Philadelphia, who are each his
surety for $4,000, are now endeavor-
ing to find him. Prior to his depar-
ture Graham left a letter with his wife,
which was addressed to "Whom it may
concern" This letter, according to At
torney d. j. Mcmahon, legal adviser of
the board of education, was state
ment of property owned by Graham
ostensibly, but in reality in his wife's
name, power of attorney and author
ity to convey the property for the pur-
pose of liquidating his Indebtedness.
The amount of property to be turned
over by Mrs. Graham will not exceed
$4,000. 1t is supposed that stock spec
ulation was the cause of Graham's s
downfall, as it is known he was op-
etating quite heavily.

paper, I give an illustration and alb
breviated description of this really USE
full device. 1t consists of track Of
iron, A, A, A, such as is used for barn
doors, the carrier wheels and hangings
and the box, B. The track is fastened
to the ceiling either in front or behind
the COWS, according as it is intended for
use in feeding or in stable cleaning,
running the whole length or entirely
around the stable, the carrier being
constructed in manner to permit the
wheels to turn on curve in the track.
The four carrier wheels are bolted in
pairs to the blocks, C, C, which run close
to the track to prevent the wheels jump
ing off. The blocks are bolted to a
heavy scantling, D, d, under them, only
one bolt being used in each block, so
that the wheels will turn curve in the
track as mentioned. The car (B) is
hung by rods, z, E, to the crossbar,
F, which is connected to the timber be-
tween tie wheels by heavy swivel.
There may be a rod from the crossbar,
F, to the rear end of car to hold it
steady until ready to dump. BY the
handles at the front end, the car is
readily moved upon the track in either
direction, even when fully loaded, hold
ing about one-fourth of a wagon load.
