LYNCHED THE WRONG MAN.
The Real Murderer of Marshal Rich
ardson still Mt Large.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec 21-The mob at
Gulfport, Miss, which Iynched negro
yesterday, discovered today that it made
n mistake and lynched the wrong man.
1t started after Alvin Lewis, his son Joe,
and Henry Lewis who is said to be a
cousin. Several negroes were rounded up.
among them Alvin. Joe. and a young ne
gro said to be Henry. 1t was the latter
who was promptly shot to death by the
mob as the murderer of Marshal Rich
ardson.
1t has now developed that the lynched
negro was not Henry Lewis. and that
the latter has succeeded in making good
his escape, and it is upon Henry that the
guilt of the murder has been fixed. The
father Alvin, over whose arrest the
trouble arose, has disappeared. When he
was taken to the Gulfport Jail the mob
demanded that he be lynched, and MOTH
Ing but the firmness aad courage OF the
deputy sheriff prevented this The mob
came back a second time to lynch him,
and it was deemed prudent to carry the
prisoner out of town. He has completely
disappeared from sight 1t was reported
that he was confined in the Meridian jail
for safe keeping, but this is shown to
be mistake. Whether he is confined
somewhere else or the mob got hold CT
him and lynched him remains in doubt.
The Baptist Church was burned because
Alvin Lewis, who was somewhat OF a
preacher, occasionally preached there, and
because some of the clothing of the refu-
gees was found there after the assassina-
tion of Richardson, showing that the ne
groes had made the church their head
quarters.
The congregation OF the burned church
held a meeting and adopted the following
resolutions:
We. the Undersigned eolored citizens OF Gulf
port are in deep regret of the loss of reliable
officer who assassinated by the coward on De-
eern5er 10. and, be It known that We willing
and also ready 10 assist in capturing the monster.
We offer you compliments through worthy
notwithstanding are much humiliated over
sdeTation. We are poor, but anxious 10 manifest
honest reputation.
These resolutions had the effect OF
arousing sympathy toward the negroes on
the part of the white people of Gulf
port The burning of the church is gen.
orally reprobated, and the whites will
raise the money needed to rebuild it.
The better element of the whites are in
control at Gulfport now and declare that
there shall be no more violence, but it
will be impossible for them to stop the
lynching OF Henry Lewis il he is caught.

Secretary Hays efforts have only made

American treaty than with the Hay
Pauncefote arrangement.
Several prominent Senator's stated yes

Typhoid Germs in the Potomac
WATER.

The water supply of the city Is largely to be
blamed for the prevalence of typhoid fever in
and around Washington. Fifty per cent Of the
specimens OF Potomac water which ex-
amined on tsa hundred different days contained
undoubted evidence Of pollution by fecal matter
and this pollution comes largely from refuse
dumped into the river from towns on the upper
Potomac. The common cry is that bacteria germs
are in the drinking water OF the city, and don't
drink it. and the warning to the people is to
drink Henricl's beers if they want good health.
Maerzen Senate, and Lager contain no bacteria
germs and you will never need fear your health

MAY GET BACK PAY.
Under Decision of Controller of the
Treasury Rear Admiral Schley
May Receive Goodi. Sum.

Under n decision rendered by the
controller of the treasury. Rear Ad-
miral w. S. Schley stands a good
chance of securing back pay as a rear
admiral from the date when lie was
first proposed by the president for that
grade as a reward for his services off
Santiago. The controller Mace a rul-
ing in the case of Lieutenant Com
meEGer H. o. Rittenhouse, OF the navy,
the circumstances of whose claim for
back Pay were identical with the claim
of gchley.
The latter will, Of course, be Obliged
TO present claim formally before
there can be decision in his favor.
The auditor ruled against the Kitten
house claim, and is likely to rule
against Schley's claim, hut the con-
trollcr will probably follow his own
line OF reasoning and overrule the
auditor as he has done in the Ritten-
house claim
The present ruling is based en- an
p;.i.on rendered recently b. the att
torRey general, and naval oeceFe have
been greatly interested in tie rsatter,
Rear Admiral Sampson does not come
within the ruling. and will not receive
the back pay accordedto ,her officers.

THEY WOULD STARVE
The Fate of Germany If 1mporte5
Foodstuffs Were Cut Off.
Consul General Mason mt Berlin Makes
Interesting Report on the Sub
ject to the stnte DEPART

Debate which has been in progress
IN the German reichstag over the pro-
posed meat inspection act, which IL
passed would practically step all inn
portation of live cattle and meats into
Germany. has again revived tie cues
4ion of what would the industrial and
CONNIE rcial classes of Germany &c for
food if the imported supply OF bread
ktuifs and meats should be cut eft?
Consul General Mason at Berlin has
made an interesting report upon this
subject to the state department. Dur
ing the past century, he says, the popu-
lation of the German empire has in
creased from 2O,foo, 600 to $4,000, Geo and
a proportionate increase would indi-
cate nearly 100,O0,0o0 persons in Ger

fury Farm, dairy and garden produc-
fion does not keep pace by any means
with the steady increase Of population,
and only by diverting the capital and
labor which now furthers commerce
and trade in Germany to the farms and
fields, can the future food sup
ply of the country be assured. But the
task of turning back the young men
of the rural districts who have nligrat-
ed to the cities and caught the fever
of trade and traffic, to the drudgery of
farm life, would be difficult one in-
deed, as would also be that Of attract
ing to agricultural pursuits the capi-
tai that new earns such abundant prof
its from industry and trade. In conclu-
sion the consul states that the legisla-
lion enacted this year in regard to the
increase of the food supply will have
d potent influence in shaping the eco
monte history Of Germany for years "a
come.

The political situation is rapidly

The political situation is rapidly
assuming a definite form. The Re-
publicans, Dem ocrats and SILVER Par

Virginir City-the former on the both
OF this mouth and tho two latter on
Septsmb Der 9th. The Democrats and
Silver Party will probably fuse on a
State ticket, namely Congressman,
Supreme Judge apd two University
Regents. Francis G. Newlands is
their logical candidate for Congress.
Either E. S. Harrington of Elko or
YIN. Mcmillan of Storey will proba-
bly, be the choice Of the Republicans
10 oppose Newlands.

harrington is q prominent lrwyer OF

staunch advocate OF free silver. VIM.
Mcmillan was the Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1898. He is a
strong man, his qualifications are
undisputed, and he is thorough Ne
yadan. Whether harrington o, Nc
MILAN is nominated, the race for
Congress will be holly contested, aud
1t would be idle at this time to pre-
dict the result.
Locally the followers OF the vari-
Gus parties have aligned themselves
for the fray The Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Silver Party have called
for primaries, and the Independents
are preparing for a correspondence
race. The Democrats desire to fuse
with the Silver Parry, but demand u
share OF the county offices. II the
two conventions cannot agree, then
the Democrats purpose putting out
= straight ticket. If this should
occur there will be four county tick
cts pp, and though the number OF
candidates may cause some confu-
sion, still the voters OF the county
will have the opportunity of select
ing capable corps of officials to
