NEGRO SWUNG TO ETERNITY
William Black Was Hanged at
BeIair Friday Morning.
NERVOUS ON WAY TO SCAFFOLO
But He Met Death With Cons
siderable Calmness.
Miss Jessie Bradford's AssaiIant Was
Struggled From Baltimore to Bclair
soon After Midnight. and Hanged Before
Most of the People Were Out of Bed. =

Belair, Md. Aug. 81. William Black.
colored, was;hanged here at,a Al O'clock
this morning. He met death with con-
siderable .calmness, although has was
plainly very nervous on his way to the
scatfold, and had for several days been
in state bordering on complete coll
lapse. sf'
Black died for criminal assault
committed on Miss Jessie Bradford,
aged Is years, who lives near A Aberdeen,
this county. The negro overpowered
her in a patch of woods. on February
21st, and WAS seen struggling with her
by the crew of fast freight train,
which passed the scene at that time. A
searching Iarty was organized, and
there IL no doubt the negro would have
been lynched If caught then, but he
made his way to Baltimore, shiEped on
an oysterboat and was caught down the
bay few days later. His trial and
conviction followed, and he had been
confined in the Baltimore City Jail
since then. gs
Meanwhile, another negro, Louis
Miller, was lynched IN Belair for
similar crime, and threats were made
that Black should never die legal
death. For this reason, the sheriff OF
Hartford county took unusual precau-
tions, and company Of militia was
detailed to attend tho execution and
preserve order. As further precau-
tion, the announcement was made in
the newspapers that the condemned
man would be brought to Belair on
morning train, and hanged soon after
10 o'clock. Instead Of carrying out
this programme, the sheriff put him on
train which reached here from Balti-
more shortly after midnight, and hanged
him this morning before most OF the
people of Belair were out of their beds.

In late years men have made fortune.

j, In late years men have made fortunes
out OF the tailings of gold mines. The
mills in which the ore formerly was
crushed and the crude processes then in
use allowed large percentage of the
precious metal to escape, and that loss
amounted in some cases to fortune.
The stomach is Just like stamL mill
in this respect, that when it is not IN
perfect order it allows the escape and
waste of much of the precious nutri-
ment contained in the food. That loss
when continuous means the loss of
