Two Brutal Negro Murderers Hanged in ROCkport,

him over the head with heavy club with a large nail driven into the end of it. AL though terribly beaten, Simons made desperate fight and his cries and struggles soon attracted two boys who went to his assistance, but they were a moment too late, the victim of the negroes had suc- cumbed to the terrible beating and was lying dead at their feet.
 The murderers then drove the would-be rescuers away, and accomplished their or iginal designs-that of robbery-securing a bag containing something over $40 from the prostrate form of their victim, and made their escape Simons was terribly beaten; his skull crushed in, his head and face beaten into a pulp. Four gaping wounds showed where the spike of the club had punctured the dead mans skull and pene- trated his brain.
 Walter Evans, one of the young men who attempted to save Simons' life and after ward assisted in the removing of the mur- dered mans remains to his home, was greatly affected and almost suffered nerv- ous collapse Tonight he witnessed the lynching and is now raving maniac
 Wife is Prostrated.
 The dead mans wife is prostrated, and it is believed she will die from the shock. Hol- lie Simons came here from Windslow, Ind, three years ago and was popular young man.
 The feeling against the negroes was in- tensified by reason of the fact that within the past two weeks over a dozen houses have been robbed at Rockport and Hender- son. and Rowland was suspected as being the leader in these rohberies. The mob an- nounced that in the case of all future rob berries the guilty persons would be run down and 1ynched
 Many of the negroes of the city have left tonight, and those remaining are staying indoors. Eight other negroes were arrested as suspects, and would have been strung up by the lynchers if they had not been able to prove alibis.
 The mob was very orderly but determined. There was no demonstration except the firing of about two shots in the air to hold back the throng of bystanders crowding up too closely After the lynching hundreds of the mob collected in the hotels and other public places and discussed the lynching, making no attempt to conceal their connec- tion with the affair.

 Yesterday the war office for the first time in many months remained open throughout a Sunday in response to the demand of pub- lie anxiety to learn the latest news.
 Lord Kitchener is reported to have sent a fresh and urgent request to the govern. ment to send out every available mounted man. With General Dewet again escaped through the British cordon in the neighbor- hood of Thaba N'Chu, the serious affairs at Vryheid and Zaston and the Magalies- berg disaster confronting the British peo- pie, they may well begin to ask, as they do, why Lord Roberts is allowed to come home
 The colonial office announces it's decision to enlist 5000 men instead of the 1000 prev- iously asked to be recruited in Great Britt ain for Gen. Baden-Powell's constabularD which shows that recruiting in South Af- rica is less active than had been anticipated,

 Lord Roberts, now returning to England on board the Canada, did not go ashore at St. Helena, though the steamer touched there. i

PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK
 IN THE NATIONAL CONGRESS-

Washington, December 16.-The Senate will devote the greater part of its time this week to consideration of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty if it should be necessary to do so in order to get the ratification resolution acted upon and in case there is any sur plus time, it will be devoted to the consid- eration of the ship subsidy bill. None of the appropriation bills can be reported to the Senate in time for consideration during this week or until after the holidays, and the same may be said of the army bill. There will be an effort made to report the army bill during the week and 1t may be successful, but 1t cannot possibly be taken up before the Senate convenes after the holidays. Senator Lodge is very hopeful of securing an agreement tomorrow to vote upon the treaty before the holidays ad- journment next Friday. The present pro- gramme for the opponents Is to have Sena-f tor Money speak tomorrow and other Sena- tors of the opposition in succession. A

HAVE RECOVERED
 FIVE MORE BODIES Victims of the Normal School Fire Were Charred Be-
 yond Recognition

Dunkirk, N. Y, December 16.-Bodies of five more victims of the Normal school fire were recovered today, making six that have been taken from the ruins. Those found to- day were charred beyond recognition as was the one previously recovered.
 Workmen while removing debris, found the five bodies at the foot of a fire escape They were piled across each other, and burned beyond recognition. A ring upon the finger of one of the bodies gives hope that it may be identified, but there is nothing by which the others can possibly be dis tinguished It is proposed that all be buried in one grave, and that it be marked by one monument, to be placed in the Fredonia cemetery in memory of the victims.
 District Attorney Wrene and Coroner Blood will begin a rigid investigation, which will inquire to all matters connected with the structure of the building and the fire.

Santiago de Cuba, December 16.-A sharp earthquake shock was felt here last night about midnight. It was the most severe that had been experiences in several years, and almost created a panic at the San Carlos, where grand ball was in progress. It was preceded by a dull sound like mine ex- plosion. Two shocks followed, the former being quite severe and later scarcely per ceptible

 MT. Woods Statement.
 MT. Wood was seen by an Age-Herald reporter yesterday afternoon and made a statement relative to the troubles at the university. He said:
 "Of course you understand that such views as I may have are personal, and do not commit the society to them, op any one else
 "In my opinion, almost all of the trus- tees of the university arrived upon the scene with the inclination to dismiss the entire student body, and the determina- tion to do so Is necessary But the more the subject was examined the more complex it became and upon an entire comprehen- sion of the situation, the tendency was to believe that the system and not the men working or attempting to work under it was largely to blame. Other matters were also complained of and will do doubt be reme- died.
 Now the military system has many ad- vocates, and might be tolerated, but the system now in vogue, the dual system, half military and half not, is an experiment. and will probably not stand the test of time. The seniors are now exempt from military duty, and they were formerly the safeguards of the system, holding all of the commissioned offices, and exerting their accumulated experience in holding the corps in check. Now, as I said this ele- ment of safety has been removed, and by silent example, if not by active aid and advice, have contributed to the demand for the abolishment of the entire system.
 "The status of affairs at the university last week was a novel one. The students themselves went into the governing busi- ness, and all admit did it well. All calls save military were strictly attended, all lessons and academic duties faithfully performed and the most perfect order preserved. And it was apparent from this that the person. nel of the corps, Though high-spirited, was also most excellent, and that it's preserva- tion, if possible, should be done.

The Filipinos were repulsed after a lively half-hour's fight. When the firing had subsided Corporal Chase stepped into the bushes telling the sentinel not to shoot. The order was forgotten by the excited outpost, and as Chase started to return, he was shot down without being challenged. He evident ly was mistaken for the much-dreaded Bo- loman. Jake Henderson was put in the guardhouse and will be tried on the charge of manslaughter.

Further talk Of this character was
INDUCED IA between the prospective

Clerk Scare TO scratch his head and
think loud. Finding Il useless
TO question Mrs. Cooper he began TO
interrogate Campbell with the result It
was learned that the woman he wanted
TO marry was possessed OF considerable
property IN the Sixteenth ward, this
city. and was the widow Of Alvin
Cooper. who got killed in a street car
accident about six years ago. Camp
bell further stated that his home was
In Big Cottonwood, but was now living
In Salt Lake.
Clerk Scare then consulted Mr.. Blair,

fused TO issue a license on the ground
that Mrs, Cooper seemed TO be weak

they would go to their Bishop and see

original In the Supreme Court. The re-
lator is plaintin IN the case OF George
Nichols VS. the oregon Short Line RAN
way company, now pending In Judge
Cherry's court.
on the Ord Of last February the case
was called In order that IL might be set
for trial. Attorney Barlow Ferguson.
who appeared for Nichols, demanded
a jury trial aud at the same time ten
dered Clerk Rawlings the customary
fee OF So. Judge Cherry refused the de-
mand on the ground that the plaintiff
10 the action had waived his right TO "a
jury. and that therefore the case would
have 10 be tried before the court with
out a jury. The Supreme Court
granted an alternative writ. when the
defendant filed q demurrer 10 the petit
ton on the ground that u did not state
a cause OF action, The matter "a
then argued and submitted for decision
on the merits.
The principal questions In the case
was whether the plaintiff really did
waive a jury. Judge Cherry c%ontended
that under the provisions OF the Con-
stltution and statute OF the State, re-
lating TO such a case, and rule of the
district court, the palintih waived a
jury.
Attorney Ferguson maintained that
the statute and rule Of the court were
not IN harmony with the Constitution
and that even if they were he had COM
piled with both the statutory and con-
stitutional provisions IN his demand.
The Supreme Court holds that under
the Constitution and statutory Drovis-
ions the trial Of a civll case. at law. by
a Jury, Is "a personal privilege, which
either OF the parties litlgant may exer-
else or not, as he chooses, The fact
that Attorney Ferguson made his de-
mand IN open court Of the time Of set

was clearly a compliance with the
statute. and entitled Nichols to have
his case tried before q Jury.
