By the Associated Press.

Panther W. Va, June 2S.-Peter
Price a negro, cornered in house by
a determined band Of Infatuated citi-
zens bent on meeting summary justice
to him, charged with insulting a lady,
in his desperate efforts to escape, cut
and killed George Hooks and f. M. Nc.
Gran and seriously cut Charles Davis.
The murder occurred at Lager, a small
town five miles south of here. Price
on seeing his pursuers, took refuge IN
a small room in the rear of saloon
The mob battered down the door and
as they entered the room Price threw
himself at them with the ferocity OF
tiger. with a knife in each hand. Hooks
and McGran fell to the floor. Two
revolvers in the crowd were discharg.
ed at Price inflicting but slight wounds.
With one desperate swing of his knife
he laid open Davis abdomen and then
leaped from the window. He was pur-
sued and captured by officers, who hur-
riedly sent him to Jail at WEIGH to avoid
the vengeance of the Infatuated popu-
lace. Hooks and McGran were both
we'll known citizens and indignation
runs high.

luton in the Constitutional Convention

lation of this section and that said rail-
road company itself or through its agent
issues to such person transportation shall
be fined like amount for each violation

ground that the newspapers were recog-

ANOTHER BANK FAILS
Marquand and Company
Have Assigned.
This Failure, Connected With That Of St yenh
National Does Not Affect The Stock
(By the Associated Press

New York, June 2S-The failure of
the firm of Henry Marquand and Com
pany, bankers and brokers, the name of
which has been connected with the EN-
barrassment of the Seventh National
Bank, was announced on the stock ex-
change today. The firm made an as
signment to Frank Sullivan Smith.
The assignment was without prefer
ences. No statement Of assets or labi-
The failure was without appreciate
effect on the stock market.
At 1890 o'clock Manager Sherer, of
the Clearing House, said that all OF the
banks had cleared as usual and that
no further difficulty was anticipated
in banking circles. Inquiry at the local
office of the Pittsburg, Shawmut and
Northern Railway brought out an as
surance that there would be no disas-
trOus consequences as far as the rail
road was concerned.
But didn't Marquand and Company
finance the railroad?'' was asked.
oh, yes" was the reply of the Off.
cial 'but they have the bonds and we
have the money
He added that Marquand and Com
pany had merely handled bonds Of the
road but did not control it,
The firm of Henry Marquand ana
Company consisted of Henry Marquand
and Frank b. Poor, son of the former
president of the National Bank.
The railroad guide shows that Frank
S. Smith, the assignee Of Marquand and
Company, is Vice-President and Gen
eral Counsel of the Pittsburg, Shaw
nut and Northern. Henry Marquand
is First Vice President of the company
The admitted embarrassment of the
firm in connection with the Seventh
National Bank failure resulted in the
wholesale calling in of stocks loaned
to them for delivery and they were
obliged to buy heavily in the open mar
ket to cover At the same time the &C.
| tons of the clearing house committee
and of che Comptroller of the Curren-
cy put official disapproval on securities
in which the firm had large invest
ments, and which figured as part of
the collateral in the loan of 81 600 900
from the Seventh National Bank and
/ which caused the suspension OF the
! bank.

THE PROBLEMS BEFORE Us.
Fz Secretary Herbert's. Address Before the
Alabama Bar Association
fBy The Associated Press. }

Montgomery Ala, June 23.--Ex- Secre-
tary Hilary A. Herbert today addI essed
the Alabama Bar Association on the du-
ties and responsibilities of the American
lawyer in the 20th century.
The Constitutional Convention adjourn
ed in honor of the event and the address
was delivered 70 both bodies in the State
capitol. Mr.. Herbert declared that the
country had entered upon the most cliti-
cal period of It's existence.
I'm the time Of national eAuitation and
exaltation we must not be ove.-conjitien,,
said Mr. Herbert 1T is easy for a few
people Of the same general character TO
agree. The country is no longer small or
homogeneous For fgovernment TO be
successful, citizens must be alive to the
increasing righteousness of self control.
Fraud stalks through the land like
pestience in the night. The line is
imaginary between counting out the ne
gro because his vote is cast for the wrong
candidate and counting out the white man
because his vote is obnoxious. Honest
elections are the only salvation OF coun-
try.
The speaker turned to the remedy and
declared it to be greater independence of
thought and action and less slavsh ad-
herence to parties. Power Of the indie
pendent press OF the North and South was
dwelt upon at length, and it's influence
fer good TO the South in the past 20 years
was described.
Zone of the greatest questions for So
luton now is whether the Constitution
follows the flag in the insular posses
sions," said Mr.. Herbert. 1.-The turning
over of the Philippines is an accomplished
fact Shall we govern them or they US?
The parties have snapped positions on the
underlying question. The aboitionist Re-
publicans. Gerritt Smith and Charles
Sumner, declared that the Declaration OF
independence taught that all are free and
equal Now the expansion Republicans
have the opposite view which was held
by the old Democratic leaders. orr
Democratic friends in Congress, taking
care always to quote from Lincoln, make
the welkin ring with the views OF the
old time abolitionists.'
The speaker discussed the Supreme
Court decisions in the Porto Rico cases
and said the main declaration was cor
rect He regretted it was not unanl-
nous.

ION the hypothesis that the Canadian
