She was a lady of superior intellect and
rare accomplishments, and a host of
friends throughout the State will mourn
her untimely death. Her SchOOlmates Of

generally VIII recall her rare literary
essays, written under the nom de plume
of "Alcyone," as we'll as her exquisite
poems published in the Century and other
magazines.
She was the only daughter of the late
Hon. D.. Men. Mckay, of Harnett county,
and leaves a mother and stricken husband
to mourn her loss. Her only child, which
died on the day of its birth, preceded her
by three days.
Mrs. Sexton was educated at Peace
Institute, where she led her classes and
won the love Of all her comrades. She
has relatives in Raleigh and had visited
the city often, and was held in highest
esteem here as everywhere else. She
had a fine mind, a noble SOU and her

Paris, Nov. l7.-Count de Cornulicr this

an army colonel and the Count Ia well
known in the highest Partisan society.
He is 43 years OF age. His wife was 81
years old. a suit for separation was
pending between the Count and Countess.
The shooting OF the Countess created
CONSERVATION IN social circles where both
the Count and his wife were prominently
known. The Countess was a woman OF
unusual beauty. and she was often seen
at the theatres. race courses and other
resorts freouented by the elite OF Paris.
She was a daughter OF Count de NIennay,
whose family is respected. She was mar
ried to Count Charles De Cornulier IA

WOMEN SAID "BURN"
Colorado Won't Punish the
ExecutiOners 0fPorter.
Capital Punishment viii Doubtless be Reins' ated
in the State and Criminal Assault Made
Capital Crime.
(By the Associated Press.)

Limon, Colo, Nov. lit is unlikely an
inquest will be held over the remains of
Preston Porter, Jr., the self confessed
murderer of Louise Frost, who was burn
ed at the stake by a mob at Lake station
last night. In fact the coroner can find
no remains upon which to hold an inquest.
A few men remained late last night at
the spot out on the prairie, where the
murder was committed and avenged, and
renewed the fire again and again, until
The iron rail to which Porter was bound
will be left standing.
About 700 people witnessed the lynch
ing. No women were there, but many of
them went to the scene before the fire
was lighted and remained while the negro
was led from carriage to carriage for
inspection. Their vote was a unit for
burning.
THE OTHER NEGROES RELEASED.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 17.-No measures
have been considered with a view of
prosecuting any members of the mob that
burned Porter, and it is unlikely that
any will be taken. Governor Thomas re-
fuses to express an opinion in regard to
the affair.
District Attorney McAllister, of the
judicial district in which Lincoln county
is a part, said that prosecution of tA6
leaders would be utterly futile, owing to
public sentiment. He condemned the re-
moval of Porter to Lincoln.
Clergymen of this city unanimously
deprecate the method pursued in the
lynching, but some of them say the ne
gro should have been hanged or shot.
A movement to reinstate capital pun
ishment in the statutes of Colorado mas
received an impetus from the murder OF
Louise Frost, and the ~lynching. A Dill
