Birmingham, Ala, SpeciaI.-Witb
agonizing screams and his eyes bulg.ng
from his head, John Wesley Penning-
ton, a negro, was burned at the stake
near Enterprise, Ala, "Wednesday
morning, before crowd nf 500 enraga1
citizens of Coffee county. TAe assem-
blage was composed of both whites and
Olacks, and although the negro plead
ed for mercy and frantically endeavor-
ed to break the chains that tightly
Dound MIN, rot trace Of sympathy
was shown on the hardened faces that
peered at him through the flames. Pen
nlngtOn had committed an assault on
Mrs. J. c. Davis, the wife of Drom-
lnent farmer Of Coffee county. and had
confessed his guilt.
The crime was committed Tuesday
afternoon while Mrs Davis was gath
ering vegetables in her garden. AS soon
as she regained her senses Mrs Davis
craWled to the house and told her hus-
Dand what had happened. A large posse
was quickly organized and with blood
hounds they chased the negro until
early in the morning when he was cap
tuTed in a swamp. Termination was
bound hand and foot and taken back to
The Davis home for Identification. Word
or the assault had been sent by runners
for miles around Enterprise and every
farmer in the neighb0rhOod left his
pOw to join in the search Some of
hem were too late to join the pursuing
party and went to the Davis home to
await their return. There is not a tel
egraph office in Coffee county, but the
message travelled rapidly and when the
posse arrived with Pennington there
were at least FIVE hundred persons
gathered near the Davis residence. 4
great shout went up when the prisoner
was seen by the crowd, but at a signal
the men withdrew to the woods and
quietly awaited the result of the meet
ing between Pennington anl Mrs
Davis.
Mrs. Davis Immediately recognized
him and the negro broke down and
wept. He admitted having committed
the assault and pleaded for mercy.
With cries of terror the trembling
man was dragged from the house and
into the woods where the crowd had
gathered. Evidently expecting the con-
fession, several of the citizens had
driven a stake in the ground and as the
men approached with Pennington, both
whites and blacks were piling brush
wood around the iron pipe. The negro
saw his doom and with q scream OF
terror, fell to the ground in faint. He
was quickly revived and dragged to the
stake while the crowd stood silently by.
The frightened man was limp and had
to be held UP while the chains were
fastened around his neck and body.
When all was ready the cry was siven
and the crowd stood back. A match
was applied to the pile and with oil
to feed upon the fame soon burst into
roaring fire. The terrified negro again
plead for mercy in agonizing tones and
prayed to God that those around him
might perish. He then called on his
Maker for forgiveness. deathly 81
lence enveloped the awfaul scene and
in a few minutes the flames had done
their work.

different, brought about by the ac-
tual issuance by President Shaffer of
the long talked of general strike or.
der. This order was PROMULGATED to
take effect after the last turn of the
mills on August 10. What the result
Will be no man can foretell, but judg
Ing by the expressed determination OF
both parties to the controversy the
battle will be waged fast and furiouc-
ly Much money will be lost, thou
sands upon thousands of men will be
idle, great suffering is looked for,
even blOodshed and death are pos
sible, and feared. The strike call in
cludes practically all Amalgamated
men in the United States Steel Cor
poration's employ, not now on strike
1t was issued from the Amalgamateu
Association headquarters and mailed
to all Amalgamated lodge officials,
who are expected to call their men
into the strike. The text of the call
follows:
"Brethren: The officials of the
United States steel trust have refused
to recognize as union men those who
are now striving 1Or the right to or
ganize. The executive board has au-
thOriZed me to issue a call upon all
Amalgamated and other union men in
name and heart to join in the move
nenu to fight for labor's rights.
I'VE must fight or give up forever
our personal liberties.
You will be told that you have
signed contracts, but you never agreed
to surrender those contracts to the
United States Steel Corpration. Its
officers think you were sold to them
just as the mills were, contracts and
all.
Remember, before you agreed to
any contract you took an obligation
to the Amalgamated Association. !
now calls you to help in this hour of
need.
"Unless the trouble is settled on 0
before Saturday, August 10, 1901. ~

made on that day.

serve our organization. We trust you

President Shaffer added this state
ment:
The call goes to the vice presidents
of the districts in which there are
mills owned and operated by the Ma
tional Steel, National Tube and Fed
eral Steel Companies, as well as to
the officials of the lodges in the mills.
mo notice has been. or is being,
sent to the managers Of the mills. We
think their notice has come from the
other side and that they have hal
warning Of this ever since the mag

sufficient
The order given out is expected to
swell the number Of idle men to more
than 100000.
