Heigho. What Is hat we see before
US in the leading Boston paper? In
glazing head lines we see: "Boston's
Apology" What has Boston been do
ing this time? 1t is given-"Mobbing
a negro is denounced by The Common
council" 1t is all right for tie Of
fcials 10 bow their heads and cry out
shame upon Boston," But think
OF knowing, rich, awfully educated
Boston being guilty Of the stupendous
offence Of "mobbing a negro"-the
name Of a race SO lear to the hearts OF
all loyal, faithful Bostonians. for did
not Massachusetts fit out the first
slave ship that any colony ever sent 10
Africa TO hunt and seize and bring
back the natives? One SHINES
OF the Board made a lick at the south
and SANDER the people as is the wont
in that land Of hypocricies and incor-
~sistencies charging that the lynchings
in the south were done by the people
who for years had boosted OF their su-
perior intellect" Yes Charles Sum-
ner said in the United States senate
III Or LAG " SIAly years the south
had ruled his country and truth and
candor forced him to say, it had done
it with clean hands" Boston should
let alone the south, sweep before its
own doors, correct its own manifold
w~ickedness and corruption, and cult
vate a sincere love for Sambo. A negro
named David Jackson was set upon be-
cause he knocked a white man down.
The report in The Herald is very shock
ing. Boston is quite an expert in bru-
tality. Read: Immediately the crowd
who had been watching the fight made
a rush for Jackson, and he was knocked
down and kicked and beaten by a mob
of angry men. Upon struggling to his
feet, he fled down Hanover street, with
the entire crowd at his heels. He made
a dash for the open doc of Wallace's
shoe store, at lis Hanover street, but
was so closely pursued that several of
the leaders gained entrance to store
before the door could be closed against
them, and these began beating the COL
ored man numerically"

"A SCENE NEAR NEW YORK CITY.

Thursday The Messenger mentioned
that lynchings. Ind IL Is nientionei
that the others have been lynched lat
err. This is bad. But do not suppose
that this lawlessness OF disposition Is
always and necessarily southern. With
the p~rovocations so often repeated as
those in the south n northern blood
would no doubt be as warm and swift
justice would be as ready OF execution
The Providence (Rhode Island) Jour-
nal. one of the old, able New England
and deeply republican has
the candor and grace TO say this: 1t
must be admitted that when "a crime
like that for which southern negroes
are usually lynched occurs ea- home
we of the north are stirred to a fierce
resentment that does not differ much
from that of the typical mob on the
other side of the Mason and Dixon line.
On Friday at Ozone park. in n i'm
mediate suburbs of New York city, n
brutal negro attempted n criminal as.
sault upon a 9 year old white girl. The
color of the assailant and thar of his
intended victim fix the crime as che
almost Identical with that for which
the victim Of mob vengeance at the
south is compelled to suffer, though it
is unusual, yer in the south, for a
negro wretch. Given similar conditions,
what did the northern mob do that
gathered at Ozone park when the news
spread on Friday? Did it abide calmly
by the arrest of the man and declare
without excessive warmth tina the law
would take care of him? On the con-
trary. there were loud cries for van
geance and some one in the crowd got
a rope n preparations were made 20
hang the negro"
1t happens much oftener in the south
that a mere child is savagely assaulted
by a black brute than the ourna sup
pose. 1t has happened that such a
victim of lust and deviltry has been
murdered afterwards by the remorse-
less beast. Let any northern state have
as many negroes in its borders as there
are nearly whites. and let rapings Of
white mothers, daughters and sisters
become frequent, and the men Of
the white race any where would cry out
for swift, unerring vengeance. Let the
homes of the people on suburbs OF
towns or in the country become en-
dangered by r%avening, deadly, lustful
villains seeking daily whom they may
devour, and there would be armed pa
trolls and vigilance committees every
where. 1t is not a hard thing to write
in elevated terms of the majesty of the
law, the imperative necessity of pre-
serving and enforcing justice through
the appointed courts, the avoidance of
anarchy, the maintenance of a pure,
exalted civilization. This is easy Of
accomplishment in editorials or SER
mons or p~roclamations or charges by
Judges. But let the cruel, beastly prowler
enter the sacred home, and lay his
rude, Internal clutches upon the lear
wife or the dear daughter or the gra-
cious, lovely sister, n all the rhetoric
and moralizing will be forgotten, push
ed aside, and the rush of madness to
the heart and the grippings of the
Winchester rifle will be prompt, and
then look out for condign punishment
of the lawless wretch who is really no
better tina ma coiled rattlesnake.

when the big American line steam
ship st. Paul ran aground in dense fog
on the Jersey beach near the lower end
Of Long Branch, before daylight on Jan
uary %, 1896, in the cargo were one and
a quarter million in gold consigned to a
firm in New York. 1t was essential that
this should be landed. Arrangements
were made with the Merritt-Chapman
Wrecking company to have the stranded
liner hauled off. She and her cargo, in
Guiding the gold, were heavily insured
After it was found that it was going to
be very difficult to float the big ship, the
consignees of the gold, who needed it in
their business, appealed to Capt. Clark
as Lloyd's New York agent to have it
landed. 1t remained aboard the vessel
three days; the fact of it being there
rendered the underwriters liable for
heavier tax in the event of the vessel
being hoated,
Naturally the American line did not
make any strenuous efforts to have the
bullion discharged, and just as naturally
Lloyds were anxious to get it off as
quickly as possible; for in the event Of
storm arising and causing the destruction
of the ship the gold would have added 80
much more to the loss of the underwrit-
ers. Capt, Clark chartered steamer
and offered to take charge of the gold
and land it. Thereupon the captain OBJ
tanned a promise that the gold would be
landed Immediately. Thus the under
writers were relieved Of the further risk
and expense Of floating the stranded ship.
The gold was transferred to the lighter

CARLOADS OF MOLTEN IRON.
Hauled for Miles for Immediate Con
version Into Steel.

The construction OF a new bridge
across the MOnongahela, to be opened for
service within the next few days, directs
attention afreSh to a striking feature
Of modern metallurgy. The usual way to
make steel is to melt up cold pigiron, to
which other materials are added, and
then purify the mixture by burning out
certain undesirable elements. 1igiron,
however, is itself the product of pre-
yious heating process, in which the ore is
melted mp with carbonate OF lime to re-
move the oxygen. 1t occurred to some
ingenious Yankee few years ago that
if the product of the blast furnace could
be converted into steel before it had
cooled sensibly 4 great economy in fuel
would be secured.
The new bridge just mentioned has
been built for the Carnegie company ana
will be used to convey melton iron from
the Carrie furnaces 10 the Homestead
steel works, nearly a mile off. At the
present time Homestead obtains molten
metal from Duquesne. about four and a
half miles away! The new route has
been laid out so as TO save time and dis
lance and. possibly, caloric, too. There
has been for some time one hot metal"
bridge across the MOnOngahela, controlled
by the Carnegie company and besides the
new one about TO be opened a third is in
process of cree ion for the Jones x Me
Laughlin interest. Il will thus be per-
ceived that the practice has proved so
successful tina. it is being rapidly ex-
tended.
One gets vivid idea of this remark
able procedure when he reads about the
precautions taken IN the construction of
the new bridge to prevent harm in case
any of the melted metal leaks or Stops
over while in transit from the iron fur
mace to the steel works. The spaces be-
tween the ties are to be filled with sand,
so that no iron may fall to the decks of
passing steamers. The ties will be of
wood, but are to be protected by a cover
ing of sand. On either side of the track
there will be raised a screen of heavy
metal plates, faced with fire brick and
reaching to height of four feet. An ex-
tension of thinner plates will bring the
screen up six feet further. The cars are
ladle-shaped, and the molten metal runs
directly into them when the furnaces are
tapped. A locomotive then draws the
train to the steel works at a moderate.
pace. The glowing freight is still in
fluid condition when it reaches the mixers
there. If it We're not the cars would be
ruined.-New York Tribune.

BAD BURGLARS
VISIT SMALL TOWNS

Denver. Colo. March 2J.-Two safes
in Gaman's general store at Gilbert
we're blown open by crncksmen, who
obtained the necessary tools from Il
neighboring blacksmith shop early yes
terday morning. One of the treasure
boxes was that of the pOstcttce, which
is located in the store. About 5000,
several watches, revolvers and stamps
We're taken. The robbers left on n
handcar.
Notice of the robbery came to the
Denver police yesterday. The conclus-
ion of the officers here Is that n regular
gang of safeblowers and robbers is
working the small towns nea Denver.
The robbery of several places nj Gold
on the night of March 10, and the rob
berry of the Denver Il Rio Grande agent
ut L.ittleton the morning of March 81,
and the Gilbert trick. are believed to he
the work of the same men. But Il poor
description of the men has been oh
tanned. Just prior to each of the
crimes suspicious looking characters
We're seen lettering about the towns.
1t is believed that the gang has head
quarters in Denver.
The booty secured ut Ebert is the
largest obtained in n safe robbery in
this vicinity for many months. Ii was
II comparatively easy task for the rob
bers. They used dynamite. and dem
onStrated their skill with tools by
making the hastily stolen set from the
blacksmith shop answer their purpose.
An investigation of the circumstances
leads Sheriff Putnam of Gilbert county
to believe that the crime was commit
ted between midnight and ! o'clock in
the morning. A missing hnndcar told
of the escape, Vet the officers last night
failed to locate it. The natural pre-
sumption is that the men came to
Denver.
No arrests have been made in the
Golden and Littleton cases. Four bur
glaries We're committed at Golden In
one night. The Colorado x southern
safe was blown and $50 secured. Tills
