MOB LYNCHED THREE.
Mother, Son and Daughter Strung Up
In Mississippi.

CARROLTON, Miss, Aug. 1.-The
murder of Mr.. and Mrs Taliaferro cul-
minated last night in the lynching of
Betsy McCray, her son, Belheld 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 a
tree by the public roadside and riddled
their bodies with bullets.
The mob resisted the earnest appeals
of Judge Stcnvena 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, Belfeld,
helped commit the murder. She further
implicated others who will probably meet
a like fate. Betsy McCray refused TO
make any statement.
Governor \. II. Longino arrived on the
scene by special train from jackson just

ties--Assurances of Continued War.
MANILA, Aug. 6.-Aliguel Malvar,
who has been recognized as the successor
Of AguinaldO by the Filipino junta mt
Hong Kong, has issued a proclamation
dated July 10, 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.
1t is a characteristic insurgent docu-
ment, charging the Americans with all
sorts Of atrocities. II recounts the losses
of guns and ammunition and the death Of
four distinguished American officers, July
TO- all Of which, it 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 Malvcr
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 Agul-
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.

he had seen the limit in strange happen
ings ran up against a new one the other
night. He had drifted into n hotel bar
for a drink, and while standing at the
bar an elderly man, very nicely dressed
and with every indication Of prosperity,
il not wealth, came in and ordered a
drink of - cent whisky, inquiring at the
same time il that brand were NOT sold at
the rate of two drinks for n quarter.
Upon receiving a reply in the affirmative
the old chap produced a flask. laid down
a quarter and asked the bartender to
put the other drink in the bottle to take
away with him. The bartender, dazed.
did so without n word, and the incident
was closed.-Philadelph Record.

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 councimanic body, since the
borough of South Washington has be-
come Il part of the old borough.
On July II, 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 be
considerably changed and it is said that
the organization will not be affected until
the resignation agreement is carried out.

ALMOST EATEN BY VERMIN
Body of Almost LifelesS Infant Found I /
Field In Rochester.

ROCH ESTER, Aug. 5.-Evidencc of
extreme inhuman treatment by an nm
natural mother was discovered yesterday
when the almost lifeless body of tiny
infant girl was found in field near the
corner of Clifford and Goodman streets.
The little one. who was perhaps two
weeks old, had been wrapped in Il
blanket and laid at the base of large
tree at n lonely point. Rats ants and
other vermin had horribly mutilated the
child's body.
1t is not known how long the little
one had been cast aside and there is
nothing by which Identification may be
established. At the hospital where the
babe was taken it is said that she will
undoubtedly die.
