MOB LYNCHED THREE.


CARROLTON, Miss, Aug. 2.-The
murder Of Mr.. and Mrs Taliaferro cul-
minated last night in the lynching of
Betsy McCray, her son, Belfeld McCray,
and daughter, Ida McCray, all colored.
The mob was composed of about 800
white citizens Of Carroll county, who
marched to the jail in order, demanded
the keys from Jailer Duke, proceeded to
the cells of the unfortunate negroes,
bound them by the necks and hands and
carried them to the corporate limits Of
the town, where they hung them to
tree by the public roadside and riddled
their bodies with bullets.
The mob resisted the earnest appeals
Of Judge Stenvena and Hon. W. s. Hill
who stood on the steps Of the Jail and
followed the mob to the cell doors
with their arms around the necks of the
leaders, pleading to let the law take its
course, but with no effect.
Ida McCray confessed to the knowl-
edge of the murder and stated that her
mother, Betsy, and brother. Belfield
helped commit the murder. She further
implicated others who will probably meet
like fate. Betsy McCray refused TO
make any statement.
Governor \. ii. Longino arrived on the
scene by special train from jackson just
few minutes after the hanging.

Ing In Morgan's Interests.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Mail and
Express says:
1T is learned today that an underwrit-
ing syndicate of possibly $50,00O,O00
had been formed to finance the consoli-
dation of the bituminous coal properties
along the Norfolk and Western, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and possibly also the
Hooking Valley, Baltimore and Ohio and
other railroads in West Virginia, West

The syndicate will include prominent

phia, Baltimore and perhaps Pittsburg
md other Western cities. Judge 4. III.
Gary, chairman Of the United States
Steel corporation, is understood to be
one Of the leading spirits in the deal, and
this is interpreted by some as meaning
that the steel trust will contro lie out-
put.

sem J. 7. Morgan " Co., but this IL

and with every indication Of prosperity,
IL not wealth, came in and ordered a
drink Of u cent whisky. inquiring at the
same time IL that brand were moi sold at

Upon receiving reply in the affirmative

a quarter and asked the bartender to

away with him. The bartender, dazed.
did so without word, and the incident
was closed.-Philadelphia Record.

ties-Assurances of Continued War.
MANILA, Aug. 6.-AIiguel Malvar,
who has been recognized as the successor
Of AguinaldO by the Filipino junta at
Hong Kong, has issued a proclamation
dated July 16, copies Of which arrived
here yesterday, giving assurances to the
natives of the continuation Of an active
campaign and expressing hope for its
successful issue. The proclamation, OF
which 10000 copies have been printed,
purports to emanate from Batangas.
II is n characteristic insurgent docu-
ment, charging the Americans with all
sorts of atrocities. 1t rccounts the losses
Of guns aud ammunition and the death Of
four distinguished American officers, July
10, all Of which, il says. the authorities
concealed. The proclamation threatens
General Cailles with death for treach-
cry, and warns all Filipinos who surren-
der that they will never be able to live
outside the American lines. Malver
claims he has sufficient arms and supplies
to continue the fighting Indefinitely.
The American officials believe the proc
lamation was really written by Agon-
clio (the former representative Of Agui-
naldo in Europe) at Hong Kong, and
that he probably has never seen Malvar.
Strong efforts are being made by the po-
lice to prevent the distribution of the
proclamation.

WITHOUT LEGAL STANDING
Borough of Washington In Peculiar State
at Present.

WASHINGTON, Pa. Aug 3.-The
borough Of Washington is at present in a
peculiar situation, having neither a bor-
ough government nor any legal status.
This state of affairs has been brought
about on account Of the delay in reor-
ganizing the councilmanic body, since the
borough Of South Washington has be-
come part of the old borough.
On July IL, after the consolidation OF
the two boroughs, the old council held a
meeting and transacted some business,
which Judge McIlvaine declares invalid.
as the councilmanic body had not been
organized under the new corporation. 1t
is said that when South Washington was
brought in there was an understanding
that three of its councilmen would re-
sign, and they now refuse to do so. With
the addition Of eight members into the
present council its complexion will he
considerably changed and it is said that
the organization will not be affected until
the resignation agreement is carried out.

mile line between Berlin and XOsscn,
aided by the German government in Aug

the electricians of the world. The great
est electrical house in Germany has built
special motor car which is to run in
competition with one made by one of the
leading American concerns for this spe-
cial test.
