Short Of Cars.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 3.-All of the
local railroads T complaining of the
lack of freight cars. The lines have
in service every car Of their own and
all they can beg, borrow or steal, and
still the cry is for more cars. One
cause OF this shortage, it is given out,
is the failure to unload ears prompt
ly at the Atlantic seaports, but Ford
Woods, general freight agent Of the
Peoria & Eastern, says the real cause
is the increase in business. The
freight men look for the heaviest traf-
fc during the next two months that
they have had for years at this time
of the year, provided they can get
the cars to handle the stuff.

the German government, upon careful
inspection of the plans for a settle

finds therein nothing INCONSISTENT with
the German aspirations. Therefore, it
may be expected that Germany, too,
will be prepared soon to join in this
common movement towards a. settle

of the Chinese difficulty without re-
sort to formal war are very much
brighter than they were one week

Washington, Oct. 8. = Favorable
news has reached Washington from
the European chancellories indicat-
ing that a complete agreement as to
China is within sight. The agree
ment will be on the basis of the prop
ositions laid down by Secretary Hay
in his note of July 3 and the subse-
quent notes treating of that subject.
The accord of Russia with the United
States is more complete than was an

show that all of the European nations
probably are placing themselves in
position to take advantage of the
opening made by the United States,
and soon will be ready to begin ne

Chinese government. The Russians
already have given notice of such pur-

satisfied that France, like Russia, is

AS for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misun-

A Horrible Fate.


Word was sent to the other searching
parties that the negro had been found
and about IL o'clock a crowd of several
hundred was in the little village. The
negro was taken to the edge of the viii
lage and preparations for his death
were quickly made. A rope was flung
over the limb of a big oak and a hun
dred men stood ready to swing him up.
Their a halt was called and the manner
of death discussed by the mob. A vote
was taken and the balloting showed a
majority of the crowd to favor death
at the stake. The stake was prepared
and the negro bound to it with chains.
Pine knots were piled about him and
the flames were started by the >hus-
band of Townsend's victim. As they
leaped to the negroes flesh he uttered
wild cries to God for mercy and help.
The crowd looked on deaf to his cries
and in an hour the negro was reduced
to ashes.
Townsend, before being bound, con-
fessed the crime and said he was also
implicated with Alex Floyd, who was
hanged two weeks ago for an attempt
ed assault on Miss Kate Pearson. He
said he and Floyd had planned for 9TH
er crimes of like character.

Townsend, alias Floyd, q negro, was

fuel which reduced Townsend's body
to ashes. Monday afternoon at one
O'Clock Townsend, who was a nephew
OF the negro Floyd, hanged a week g

assault Mrs. Harrington. The woman's
screams were heard by Bob Nichols, a
negro, who was passing along the road
at the time. He ran to the house in
time to see the negro escape.

AS soon as Mrs. Harrington was re-
stored to consciousness Nichols gave
the alarm. The news spread rapidly.
All the stores at Eclectic were instant
~ closed, the ginneries and sawmills
shut down, the people left their wagons
in the road and their plows in the field
and gathered for a pursuit of the ne
gro. The crowd divided, some securing
the woods near the scene of the crime
and others going to the penitentiary
for b~loodhounds. The dogs were not
brought to the scene until nearly dark.
They were taken to where the negro's
tracks disappeared and an exciting
chase ensued. The dogs stopped final
~ at a tree in front of Odion's store on
the north outskirts of Eclectic. The
crowd coming up soon discovered the
negro sitting on a limb. He was brought
down at once and taken to the scene
of his crime. There he was confronted
by his victim, who positively identified
him.
