A WHITE CRIMINAL LYNCHED
ATROCIOUS 4 ACTQUIJKLY 4YEyGED
 AT NEWPORT NEVIS, "A.
Mob Takes w. M. Watts from Jail ana Riddles Ills Body With Bullets-Hnd Assaulted the Woman Who Rcfrtaud.,, Him-Capiurcd on Special Train or n IF. Huntingdon,
IF. Huntingdon.

l Newport News Va., Jan. 5.-The death of W. M. Watts, white, at the hands of mob between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning signalizes the initial lynching of white man for rape in
 Virginia, legally or otherwise. The crime that invoked mob violence was peculiarly atrocious The victim was the benefactress of her assaiIant, hav- ing fed him, although g stranger, when he first appeared begging for charity three weeks ago, after reaching here penniless from Lynchburg, where his father is a policeman. Watts was twenty-eight years of age and unmar- ried, a professional gambler, and came of a respectable family with extensive relationship throughout the state.
 Yesterday afternoon he visited the house of Mrs. Thomas M. Thompson. who had befriended him when he was in destitute circumstances, telling her he was about to leave the city and stat ing that he desired to thank her be- fore going away. Watts had made q stake" at his calling during his so- journ here and Mrs Simpson failed to recognize in the we'll dressed man the mendicant on whom she had bestowed almost three weeks before. She con- versed with him for few minutes at the door and then retired into the hall way He followed, seized her by the throat forced her into the sitting room and overpowered her after desperate struggle.
 Watts was captured on board the spe- cial train of c. P. Huntington, as it was leaving the city for Richmond yester- day afternoon and lodged in jail. Three masked men entered the station house at 4 o'clock this morning and forced the jailor at the point of pistols to sur render the keys. Four companions re- and hurried him away, first to the house of Mrs. Simpson, who identified him, and then to the outskirts of the city, where mob of several hundred men was congregated. He was bound by the wrists to a sapling and his body riddled with bullets. It had been in tended to hang him, but the only rope with which the party was provided proved too short to go over any conver- tent limb.
 The rope with which the body of the victim was bound was cut up and dis tributed among the onlookers. The identity of the lynchers is a mystery and there is little prospect of any ono connected with the affair being detect- ed. The police are making the usual in- quiries into the case

Growth OF Language.

The principle of growth in language.
as in all else is variation. And when
the early races felt that variation had
been carried far enough within the
limits of the vowel language, rich as it
was in tone and melody, new direction
for growth was unconsciously sought.
1t was found by adding semivowels to
the already existing vowels-that is. by
partially closing the lips, or bringing
the tongue near the teeth, or palate, or
throat, while the vowels were being
spoken. This would give words like
wawawa or yayaya, and the like. and
so with other vowels. Let me give a
few words which still survive from this
epoch, in Polynesian, which are rich in
pure vowel words: ahi, aho, hau, hihi,
ha, haze, wa, wal, which mean fire, light,
wind, ray, breath, envy, expanse, water
all elements or elemental emotions

An electric search light, mounted up
on wagon resembling in general APP
pearance. an ordinary fire engine, is to
be added to the equipment of the New
York city fire department. An engine
and dynamo, carried by the wagon,
supply two lights, each having an 49,
inch lens. The light can be either con-
centrated on particular point, or
spread over wide area, and if neces-
sary the lamps can be carried to dis
lance from the wagon, the electric con-
nection being maintained with insu-
lated cables. The object of the search

streets and corners where the firemen
have to place their hose and to throw
light into windows and upon roofs
where people are to be rescued from the.
