PECK GOES TO PRISON.
Negro Who Caused the Riot mt Akron
Is Sentenced to Life Impris-
onmcnt.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 25.-Louis Peck,
the colored man who last Monday
evening assaulted four-year-old Chris
tina Mas at Akron, and whose crime is
alone responsible for the fearful riot
ing that occurred at Akron Wednesday
night and Thursday morning, was Fri
day afternoon taken from the Jail at
Cleveland, where he had been removed
for safe keeping, and rushed to Akron.
Akron, o., Aug. 25.-The train car
rying the negro Peck arrived here at
$3.50 p. m. A carriage was waiting at
the railway station and Peck was
quickly bundled into it. In three min
utes the courthouse was reached and
Peck was arraigned before Judge Nye.
The indictment was read. Peck stood
up and pleaded guilty. He declared he
had nothing to say, except that he
threw himself upon the mercy of the
court. The court then sentenced Peck
to life Imprisonment in the state peni-
tentiary. Troops were on guard at the
railway station and along the route to
the courthouse. There was no demon
stration whatever.
After Peck had been sentenced he
was at once taken in closed carriage
to the Center street crossing of the
Cleveland. Akron & Columbus railway
and placed on board the train in charge
of Sheriff Kelly and taken to the state
penitentiary at Columbus.
So quickly and quietly was Peck
brought into the city, sentenced and
sent on to Columbus that but very few
people knew what had transpired.
There was no crowd at the railway
either when the train arrived or de-
parted. Few who glanced at the rap
idly-driven carriage suspected that it
contained the man the furious mob of
Wednesday night wanted to lynch.
Just after leaving Cuyahoga Falls,
while the train was en- route from Cleve-
land to Akron, Peck begged Prison
| Keeper Washer to shoot him instantly
| in the event a mob was awaiting at
Akron. The plans made contemplated
leaving the train at the Union station
at Akron. Peck's fright increased as
the train neared Akron. He begged
piteously to be shot if mob threat
ened. Washer did not consent.
| Little Rhoda Davidson died at the
city hospital at two o'clock Friday aft
ernoon. She was shot in the head while
in her mothers arms during the riots
Wednesday night.
| Columbus. o., Aug. s5.-Peck arrived
at the penitentiary in the custody of
the sheriff of Summit county at $3.50
Friday night. He felt greatly relieved
when the heavy iron gate closed be-
hind him and he realized that he was
safe from mob violence. He had little
to say and was quickly conducted to
cell. His sentence includes the frs,
| 30 days in solitary confinement.

CODE FOR PHILIPPINES.
Justing Civil Affnirs - where
abOuts of Aguinnldo.

Manila, Aug 27.-The Philippine COM
mission is thoroughly investigating and
adjusting civil affairs. 1t holds daily
sessions and is thoroughly occupied in
arranging a municipal code. Interest
in the work of the commission is rap
idly increasing, both Fiiipinos and for
eigners anXiously awaiting the estab-
lishment of civil government.
Aguinaldo is reported TO be in the vi
cinity of Biagnabato, where Gen. Fun
ston and Gen. Grant are constantly
scouting in the mountains. The work
is rough and wearying. The enemy is
hard to locate, as they are active and
have accurate knowledge of the coun-
try. Small detachments of quartermas-
ters' trains have been lately captured,
and the Americans, though they were
quickly in pursuit of the Filipinos,
were unable to rescue them.

alone on farm 12 miles north of this

found was recognized by neighbors as
the clothing worn by the tramp. Mr..

was 81. Both were in feeble health.
They had lived in that vicinity for
"a years, and were among the pioneer
settlers of Stephenson county. They
reared n family of II children, but
