TWO SISTERS UNITED.
Mrs. Peck Meets Mrs. s. N. Castle
After Years of Separation.

4 Among the arrivals by the Moana
was Mrs. II. n. Peck and her daughter,
Miss Hattie L. Peck. Mrs. Peck is the
youngest sister of Mrs. S. n. Castle,
and has come for a summer visit. The
sisters have met but once during fifty
eight years and this was over twenty
years ago. Mrs. Peck is a resident of
the thriving and enterprising town of
Kenova, which, as it impinges on Zen
lucky, Ohio and Virginia, unites the
three in its name.
Kenova is a railroad town which is
largely indebted to Mrs. Peck's son, l..
Tenney Peck, for its prominence iI the
railway life of that section, as well as
for some municipal features which Ho-
nolulu might well emulate.
Although well along in years, Mrs.
Peck has proved a sturdy traveller and
proposes to enjoy her first visit to Ha-
wall, with which she is pleased as a
first impression.

DOUBLE LYNCHING IN
A TOWN IN VIRGINIA.
sheriff Discharges the Soldiers on
Guard Over Prisoners, to Give
the Mob n Chance.

RICHMOND, Va, March 24-The series
of events in Greenville county the past
week eliminated today in a double lynch
ing at Emporia. Bob Cotton, the negro,
who. according to his confession, killed
Sanders and Weller, and OGrady, the
white man who was with him In the cab
in when the murder occurred, were hang
ed by a mob variously estimated at from
1900 to 2ooo strong.
Troops Were Sent Away.
This morning the sheriff OF the county
discharged from duty the military that
had been sent from this city at his re-
quest, and Maj. Cutchings. In command
OF the troops, notified Gov. Tyler. stating
at the same time that he thought that II
the prisoners were left unprotected by the
military they would be lynched. The gov
ernor replied as follows:
THE responsibility Is on the sheriff. II
he orders you to withdraw You can do
nothing but obey. We have done every
thing possible TO uphold the law and pre-
vent mob violence. and are stiil prepared
to render every aid necessary"
Both Men Lynched.
Accordingly Mai. Cutchings entrained
his men and started for Richmond. This
was about IL o'clock. Hardly was the
train out OF sight when a mob entered the
jail, took Cotton, hanged him to the limb
of tree, and fired forty bullets into his
body
Later. despite the protests of cooler
heads. who claimed that the guilt of the
white man had not been established an.
other crowd composed largely of negroes,
entered the jail. overcame the resistance
OF the few who tried TO protect oGrady.
took him out and hanged him also.
Three other prisoners whom Cotton
charged with having committed the Block
murder and robbery, were discharged by
the Judge and left town. At last ac-
counts the town had resumed It's wonted
quietness.
Gov. Tyler said this evening:
II am greatly distressed, but could not
keep the soldiers without declaring mar
tial law, and could not feel that the pre-
vailing conditions warranted that. We
were given TO understand that protection
would be given the prisoners. The result
shows that this confidence was absurd"
