Addressing the Jury.

a man who had never seen the in
side Of courtroom until he was in
troduced as witness in a case pend
ing in one of the Scottish courts, on
being sworn, took position with his
back to the jury and began telling
the story to the Judge.
The Judge, in courteous manner,
said:
address yourself to the jury,
SIR"
The man made short pause, but,
notwithstanding what had been said
to him, continued his narrative.
The Judge was then more explicit,
and said to him:
"Speak to the jury, sir; the men
sitting behind you on the benches"
The witness at once turned around,
and, making an awkward bow, said, I,
with perfect gravity:
"Good morning, gentlemen"

Was Taken for Burglar and Shot in the
Head.

LANCASTER, Nov. 27.-A sad acci-
dent, with came very near being a
fratricidc, happened here at an early
hour Sunday morning. j. Harry Fos-
ter, ESD, young attorney at law. re-
siding at Kershaw, this county, in
company with Mr.. Martin S. Wither-
spoon, left Kershaw, twenty miles dis
tant, for Lancaster, to visit their par
cnts at this place. They reached Ian
caster about midnight. Mr.. Fosters
family we're not expecting him, and
all had retired for the night. On
reaching the house, he went on up
stairs into the room occupied by his
brothers, Carl A. Foster and Ralph
Foster. Seeing his brothers both
asleep, he wentint his own room, but
having no matches, he returned to the
room occupied by his bothers, and
securing matches from his brothers
pocket, went back to his own room
and lit his lamp. While reading q
letter he heard noise in the passage
and stepping to the door, pecpcd out.
AS he did so, there was report of
gun, and Mr.. Foster received part of
tho discharge in his face. It seems
that Mr.. Carl A. Foster had become
thoroughly aroused when his brother
was in the room, the last time. and
being unable to see distinctly, thought
it was a burglar in the house. When
his brother left tho room he and his
brother Ralph both got up and loaded
an old gun with duck shot and siugs
and went out into The passage to hunt
the supposed burglar. When out in
the passage, Mr.. J. Harry Foster
heard them, and thinking they were
burglars, cracked his door and peepcd
out. AS he did 80, Mr.. G. A. Foster
fired at him. Fortunately only two
shot took effect striking him in the
forehead and glancing round; the re-
mainder Of the load went into the door
near his head. AS soon as the mis-
take was discovered Mr.. G. A. Foster
rushed to the relief Of his brother.
The whole affair seems to have been
comedy of crrors," but came dan
gerously near being q most lamentable
tragedy. Mr.. Fosters wounds, whilst
painful, are not dangerous. The State.

DOUBLE ASSASSINATION.


CITY OF MEXICO, June Sowing TO
the active exertions of the federal govern
ment the mysterious murder of two
Frenchmen. travelling in the loneliest part
of the State of Guerrero. has been cleared
up. NM. Courmont and Depin, cultivated
Frenchmen, went together into the State of
Guerrero to look for investments and took
with them considerable cash. On the banks
of the Balsas river they were killed. and
1t was given out that they met their deaths
in fight with boatmen and, subsequent
ly, with armed force of police, which
tried to arrest them, owing to the quarrel
with the boatmen. 1t now develops that
the unfortunate men were assassinated, as
a result of a deliberately laid plot to OBJ
tain possession of their money.
The plot. in which certain local authori-
ties and one functionary OF higher stand
ing were implicated, either actively or as
accessory after the fact, was laid in the
small town of Copalillo. The mayor, Fran
cisco Sanchez. an Indian, was a partici-
pant. The guide of the Frenchmen, one
Alumbre, was also concerned and led them
into an ambush, where they were shot
down by band led by Mayor Sanchez
Depin was instantly killed, as the
guide, Alumbre, by a retrfbutory accident
Courmont was badly wounded. and after
being tortured all night, was strung up by
the thumbs and riddled with bullets May

the Frenchmen, who were resisting arrest
In regard TO the guilt of Colonel Vega.
the former jefe politico of Chiapa, whose
participation in such an affair would APP
pear incredible, but who has almost given
his guilt away by attempting to commit
suicide in jail, it is quite certain that he
was not at the scene of the tragedy, but II
seems pretty well established that he re-
ceived his share of the booty. Still more
sensational disclosures are expected, as the
government is hunting down all the par

The Platform.

After considerable delay the platform was
presented and adopted In part 1t follows:
eve hold to the doctrine that public
taxation should not be imposed for private
purposes and adhere TO the principle for a
tariff for revenue only. We are opposed
to governmental partnership with protected
monopolies and we demand that import
duties like other taxes should be impair
TALLY laid.
1--WE assert our opposition to the con-
tinuance of the war taxes in times of
peace. We demand retrenchment and econo-
my in all the departments of the govern
ment, and condemn the extravaganza and
profiigacy which have characterized the
present Republican national administra-
ton.
1--WE favor both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country. the money
OF the Constitution and of our fathers
each 10 be maintained at a parity with the
other in purchasing, debt-paying power
which has been the steadfast policy of the
Democratic party since the days of Jeffer-
son, who declared that The monetary unit
must stand on both metals We pledge
our best efforts 10 continue the work of
monetary reform.
1--WE are opposed TO that foreign policy
known as imperialism, which contem-
plates schemes OF conquest and the estab-
lishment of colonial governments In ac-
cordance with British theories and pr.ic-
fices: derns nds large standing armies for
purposes OF subjugation: inpoverishes the
people with vast public expenditures.

BRUTAL AND FRUITLESS
Couture OF NEGRO BY MIssIs-
sIPPIANs NEAR BILOXI.
Whipping, Hanging and Burning
Tried that Confession Might BE Sc
cured-One Bandit weakened.

MOBILE, Ala, June 5.-Men from Hands
boro, Miss. took the negro Askew from the
Mississippi City jail at II o'clock last night
and carried him in a wagon to the home of
winterstein, near Biloxi. where the VIM
terstein child was criminally assaulted and
murdered on Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Win
terstein, the father. was called out, and all
went to the woods where the crime was
committed. There the negro was put
through an ordeal with the intention of
forcing a confession. He was strung up
by a rope. and later fire seems TO have been
used, for a message to the Register says
that 'Askew is badly burned" The negro
continued. however. to protest his inno-
cence. He was returned TO the Jail at
o'clock this morning. Mayor Nash tele-
graphed to all points this morning for sus-
pects to be held.
Later advices describe the torture in
flicted. Askew was tied and dashed with a
whip. laid on as hard as strong men could
WELD it. He yelled with pain, but did not
change his statement. There was a rope
around his neck, and he hoisted into
the air over and over again, being taken
down just before he lost consciousness each
time He begged piteously for his life and
for a cessation of the torture. He was told
that IL he would confess he would meet
with merciful death, but that ne had best
confess, there was worse TO follow. He
said he could not confess: he was innocent.
Then fire was brought into service. A hot
blaze of brushwood was made and the
negro was stripped of his clothing and
exposed to it's heat. His yelling could
be heard for mile through the woods. and
he was very severely blistered. but held TO
his innocence. About this time one of the
mob lost heart I'm the proceedings and in
terfered. Pistols were drawn, and trouble
would have occurred had not the father of
the murdered child spoken up. saying that
the mother OF the child ought to be permit
ted to see the man who had done her so
great wrong. This served an excuse
for relaxing the torture, and the man. half
dead with suffering and fright. was hurried
back TO the jail, where medical attention
was given him.
