ANOTHER NEGRO CURVED.
Winchester, Tenn, Citizens Wrcak Vongeance-VictimS Sh owed Courage.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Aug. 25.-Henry Noles, a negro, was to-day burned by a mob of citizens for criminally as- saulting and shooting to death Mrs. Charles Williams, wife of a prominent farmer, near Winchester, Tenn, last Friday. Admitting his crime and ask, ing his friends to meet him in glory" he met his fate without groan He was captaured early this morning at Water Tank, near Cowan, Tenn, and was taken to Winchester by his cap- tors and placed in the county jail. Sheriff Stewart barricaded the jail
 A mob gathered and Assistant Attor- ney General Nat M. Whitaker made speech promising to reconvene the grand Jury tomorrow to indict the negro promptly and have him tried at the present term of court. This appeal was supplemented by others.
 Several hundred citizens from the neighborhood where the crime was committed had by this time augmented the crowd. They swept forward upon the jail overpowered the sheriff and his deputies, took the prisoner and started at 10:15 a. m. for the scene of the crime, twelve miles distant.
 The mob was determined and 1t seem ed that almost the entire population for miles around had turned out to see the lynching, The grim procession of thousands marched to the Williams home. Arriving at a point in sight of the scene of the crime the negro was given a chance to make a statement.
 He mounted stump and laughed as he began his statement. He said: 'Tell all my sisters and brothers to meet me in Glory I am going to make that my home. Tell my brother to meet me where parting will be no more"
 He was then asked if any one else was implicated in the crime. Noles stated emphatically that there was not.
 "Why did you kill Mrs. Williams?" was asked him.
 ''I just done that because l had noth- ing else to do,' Noles replied.
 He was taken from the stump, bound to a tree by citizens and his body sat urated with oil. At 1:4o p. m. match was applied and instantly the body was enveloped in flames. Fence rails were piled about the burning body and soon life was extinct The negro died with out making an outcry at any time. At least 5000 people witnessed the horri- ble fate of the negro. Many remained until midnight, augmenting the blaze until the body was entirely consumed

NEW HAVEN VESSEL SUNK
HAROLD c. BEECHER R UN INTO E Y
 AN UNKNOWN STEAMER.
Sent to the Bottom in Vineyard Sound at O'Clock Sunday MOrning-At- tempt to Beach Her Fatled-Captafn Lowe and Crew Escape ina Yawl-The Beecher Built in Madison in 1885 anc is One of the F. II. Weaver Fleet.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. 25.-Al- though the schooner Harold c. Beecher, of New Haven, Conn.,, was run into and sunk by an unknown steamer in Vineyard sound at about 1 o'clock this morning, Captain Lowe and crew or six men succeeded in reaching shore in the yawl boat. The Beecher, bound from Port Johnson for Salem with coal, was passing through Vineyard sound with a fresh westerly wind in cloudy weather. Captain Lowe states that near the eastern end of Hedge Fence shoal he sighted steamer ahead steer ing to the westward, but he kept his course, thinking that the vessel would pass clear in safety.
 The steamer suddenly sheered across the schooner's bow, carrying away her bowsprit and all her gear and making a hole through her bow. When the captain found that his schooner was sinking he ran her for Hedge Fence shoal, hoping she would ground on the shoal. The tide being high the schoon- CT drifted over the shoal without stop ping and then sank in six fathoms Of water. The men on board left before she went to the bottom.
 The Harold C. Beecher was built in Madison, Conn.,, in 1883, and was owned by E. H. Weaver, of New Haven. It is probable she will never be raised.

Reedsburg Times: If you believe

to live up to party promises, then
you are in sympathy wirh the APP
ministration or ought to be. If you
believe that the opponents OF tho
administration have been and are
living up to the principles of the re-
publican party because they sue
ceeded IN defeating primary elect
ions, because they turned down leg
islation of vital Importance to tax
payers, because they were strong
enough to bungle legislation so that
an extra session Of the legislature
may be necessary, because they are
now waging war on the administers
ton simply because it tried to carry
out the party pledges, why then you
