SEVEN NEGROES LYNCHED
San Dialo, Mexico, Excited
Race Trouble Is
Expected.

CINCINNATI, o. May %, 1S99.-A spe-
cial to the enquirer from Diaz, Mex
ico says:-There is great excitement IN
the town of San Dialo, ten miles from
here, over the lynching of seven eolored
laborers on the Mexican Central Rall-
road. Jose Santo, Spanish negro at
tempted to assault the wife of Senor
Dupuy, ranch owner, and, escaping
from the plantation, was tracked by
bloodhounds, and in company with nine
others, was captured in hut on the
river bank opposite Eagle Pass. The
regulators did not attempt to prove the
guilt of any of the negroes, but hung
three of them and shot four more who
were attempting to escape. The officials
are swearing in deputies, as race trouble
is threatened in the colored quarter.
Four of the, negroes killed are Ameri-
cans and have all served sentences in
the Texas Penitentiary.

t He MONUMENT.
Pedestal for Soldiers and
Sailors Statue Near
ing Completion.
.MARTINYs ARTISTIC WORK
Preparations for the Parade
Almost Completed Line
of March.

The work of building the PEDESTAL
for the Soldiers and Sailors Mon
ument iii front of the City Hall
was resumed this morning and up
to this afternoon the first course
consisting of huge blocks of Maine red
granite was laid. From the level of the
street to the top of the pedestal, the
height will be ten and half feet. The
statue is eight and half feet in
height and the total height will be nine
teen feet
The designer of the highly artistic
figure, Mr.. Martiny, was on the ground
and directed the masons in their work.
The statue, said Mr.. Martiny, is in one
solid piece of greenish bronze and is now
in the p. R .R. yards. The pedestal will
be finished by tomorrow and a couple of
hours will be necessary for lifting the
statue in position. Mr.. Martiny's atten-
ton having been drawn to the criticism
about the location of the statute, he said:
.'You will find that the idea of placing
adopted in all cities by all authorities.
With the City Hall a background the
motif of the statue is at once prominent
and artistic. When it is in position l am
confident that those who criticize now
will praise it then. The location was
decided upon after some of the expert
minds in that branch of art had carefully
discussed it.
The statue will be in position this week.

A BRUTAL FARCE.
Miserable Pretence of Glenn
ency to Annie Walden, a
Humane Murderess.

ALBANY, NJ Y, May %, 1S99.-Commis-
sioner Francis J. Lantry of the Depart
ment of Corrections of New York City,
has sent a letter to the State Prison
Commission recommending that executive
clemency be exercised in behalf of nine
prisoners in the New York County peni-
tentiary by reason Of their conduct dur
ing the recent fire in that institution. The
prisoners in whose behalf the appeal is
serving are
Annie Walden, murder; Lizzie Loose,
petit larceny; James Lamb, petit lar
ceny; George Miller, petit larceny; Ed
ward F. Green. petit larceny Nicholas
Drexell, assault; William Murray, grand
larceny; Thomas O'Brien, petit larceny,
and James Lawrence, petit larceny.
In his communication the Commissioner
says
Il recommend that the life sentence of
Annie Walden be commuted to twenty
years imprisonment. She has now served
seven years and one month and the COM
mutation of sentence would give her
lieve that in consideration of the nature
of her crime, her bravery and presence
of mind at the time of the fire and her
unfortunate physical Condition, she is a
proper subject for the clemency of the
Governor of the sState.''
Modified recommendations are made for
the others according to the gravity Of
their crimes. The whole matter will be
laid before the Governor.
