TENANT KILLS LANDLORD
Flack Sought to Brighten the Negro
Who Shot Him,
THE NEGRO WAS ARRESTED AT ONCE
On The Way TO the Jail a Mob Appeared,
Took The Negro from the Officers
and Filled Him with
BuckShot.
Especial to News and Observer.

Charlotte, N. c., August 2S.-Mills
Flack, ex-member of the State Legisla-
ture, was shot to death at o'clock this
morning near Rutherfordton, by Avery
Mills, young negro, about q years of
age. Flack had gone to Mills house to
get some fruit, Mills being his tenant.
Mills refused to allow the fruit to be
taken. Flacl, who had a shot gun in his
hand, fired it off in order, it is thought
to frighten the negro Mills then had
his wife to bring him pistol, and opened
on Flack, shooting him dead.
1t is stated that Flack had no idea the
negro intended killing him.
Mills was then arrested, and was being
taken to Jail when a mob of about 100
men appeared, took the negro from the
officers, and emptied several loads of
buckshot into his body Mills wife has
been arrested as an accessory to the
crime
Parties from Rutherfordton state that
the mob went about it's work in the most
orderly manner. There seemed to be
very little excitement. Mills wife says
she does not know a single man who
was in the mob, although no DISCUSSES
were used
After killing Mills the mob quietly
dispersed and went to their homes.

Leads a DailiesimN and Circulation
lLw ZEN IN OUR n
The AlaSama's Average Speed for Consecu'
tive Hours Was II Knots.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Boston, August 2S.-There is new
queen of the American navy, the UnlteH
States battleship Alabama, which TO-DAY
won the title in one of the most magnln-
cent speed trials yet held in the history
of the navy. Her average speed for TOUR
hours continuous steaming was II knots,
a figure not quite as high as that made by
the Iowa. but notable from the fact that
it gave an idea of the undeveloped power
in this latest product of American ship
builders. The Alabama was built by the
Cramps at Philadelphia, and while of the
first class, she is unlike any of the earlier
creations both architecturally and as
fighting machine. Built under contract
that required at least an average speed of
16 knots per hour, she has been turned
out to do II knots or better under con-
ditions that will net be termed extra.
The Iowa, when she left her builders
hands in 1897 was officially recorded az
17.04. Her speed trial was made under
the very- best possible conditions. After
a lapse of more than two years the Ken
tucky on September Oath and the kear-
sarge, two months later came to the New
England coast and under favorable but
not extraordinary conditions, made high
or figures of 1851 and 1853 knots respec-
lively. Those figures have now been
beaten by a narrow margin to be sure,
but the Alabama apparently was net
made to do but a little beyond her mean
speeed.
The trial throughout to use Mr.. z. S.
Cramps own words, was a success in
every particular For nearly three legs
CT the outward run the boilers made
steam so fast that the surplus was allow
ed to blow off At the same time the men
in both engine and stoke rooms suffered
no inconvenience from lack of fresh air,
and the temperature was not high. The
maximum revolutions of the engine were
11S. This figure was only for half hour,
the mean being much below this. The
highest steam pressure was $50 pounds,
or nine under the limit. The horse pow
er developed was supposed to be 11,O0O,
although this figure like those for the
speed, will be officially given at Wash
ington.

THE GoEBEL ELECTION LAW.
Legislature in Special session-to Change IT.
Governor Beckham's Message.
(By the Associated Press.)


Frankfort, KY, August 2S.-T'he Ken
lucky Legislature convened in extra ses-
sion today. Both houses adjourned after
reading Governor Beckham's brief mes
sage, which stated that the only purpose
for which the session was called was to
amend the State election law. The mes
sage stated that the law was a good one,
but that party and factional prejudice
had been engendered against it to such
an extent that it was thought best to
make changes before another election
was held. The message concludes:
Imaginary ills, whether physical or po-
lit,cal, should be treated as well as real
ones Your task in this matter is diff
cult Cne. You cannot satisfy everybody.
| do not desire to suggest in detail any
law for your consideration | have con-
fidence in your judgment and wisdom and
| believe that you will earnestly and pa
triotically set to work to frame a law

and so just to all parties that no honest
citizen can find fault with it,
The Republican minority will wait for
the Democratic majority to take the
initiative. The Democrats held a caucus
tonight to fill vacancies and consider
changes in the election law. There are
scores of election bills for caucus con-
sideration.
It is the opinion here tonight that
fair election law in the form of an amend
ment to the Goebel law will be passed A
vote on the repeal of the Goebel law would
be close and it is believed it would be

DEATH OF CAPTAIN CRENsHAW.
Brutally Treated on the Transport Sherman
While Wounded and Helpless.
(By the Associated Press.

Atlanta, Ga, August 2S.-Captain Frank
Crenshaw. Twenty-ninth Volunteer in
fantry died here this morning. Captain
Crenshaw saw service in Cuba and the
Philippines, and a wound received in the
battle OF Puto, eventually caused his
death. Captain Crenshaw, who arrived in
Atlanta a week ago, made a statement
to his father in which he charged out
rageous treatment and neglect on board
the transport Sherman from Manila to
San Francisco. The statement was to the
effect that after the vessel left Manila
and was on the high seas, officers in the
state rooms next to Captain Crenshaw's s
complained that he kept them awake by
the sufferings from his wound. He was
taken from the state room, and, paralyzed
in the left side and unable to lift his head
and almost unconscious, was placed in a
berth down in the hold of the ship, near
the engines, in the midst of the insane
men who were confined there. Captain
Crenshaw said he was unable to hold
himself in the berth and fell out three
times while the ship was riding out
storms in the China seas. He finally
bribed hospital steward with $25 to give
him some attention. AT San Francisco
Captain Crenshaw alleges that treatment
was refused him, the surgeon in charge
informing him that it was impossible
because cf limited assistance in the hos
pital. The wounded officer accompanied
by his uncle then started for Atlanta and
an operation was performed here.
The body of Captain Crenshaw will lie
in state at the capitol until noon tomor-
row when If will be taken to La Grange

Lincoln, Neb.. August 2S.-Mr. Bryan to-

over the action of the Populist National
Committee at Chicago in endorsing the
nomination of Mr. Stevenson for the Vice
Presidency. He said:
Il am veery glad that Mr.. Stevenson
has been endorsed by the Populists. He
is thoroughly committed to the principles
set forth in the Kansas City platform and
deserves the support of all who believe
in those principles. To have nominated
any one else would have weakened the
ticket. The Populist organization will
profit rather than suffer by this evidence
of its willingness to place the triumph Of
principles above partisanship."
