Joe Washington
Burned at the Stake.
The Terrible Fate of Negro
Ravisher'-HusLand Applied
The Torch.

-.
Savannah, Ga, Aug. Ii
Eighteen miles south of Savannah,
On tho line of the Seaboard Air
Line railway, the charred trunk
of the body of Joe Washington
the negro ravisher of Mrs. j. j.
Clark. is all that remains to tell
the stery of the dreadful trag edy
of last night.
Washington was captured at
Liberty City yesterday afternoon
and brought to Ways Station,
near which place his CRIME was
Committed. He was carried be-
fore Mrs. Clark, who identified
him positively as the negro VIII O
assaulted her. The proof of his
guilt was absolutely conclusive
and included circumstances that
can scarcely even be hinted at in
print.
Along the side of the railway
track 4 crewbar was driven into
the earth and to this Washington
WAS forced and was bound to it IN
a sitting position. His legs sx
tended straight in front of him on
either side of the bar. A chain
held him around tho waist while Z
heavy rope sncircled the bar and
his neck. Washington's victim
had been asked by the leaders OF
the mob to apply the torch to the
pyre, but at this Office her soul
revolted and she declined. Her
husband was selected in her stead.
Washington looked straight into
the eyes of Clark as the latter
stopped down to apply the match.
The wood was rich, fat pine and
was saturated with kerosene oil.

the sheriff.
"Yss, sir " jim replied family,
and in u moment Sheriff Green
had cut the rope with the same
axe with which Harris killed Capt.

the neck was not broken. At the

The flames leaped hungrily toward
Washington's body. The man
showed no signs in his face of the
agony hs must have suffered and
met death without a groan as
seemingly hs had faced it without
fear. The leaders of the mob
watched the work Of the flames
until Washinton's head fell hack
upon his shoulders and he died.
For some few minutes longer thew
waited around the stake, and then
without a shot having been fired,
without noise and without undue
excitement they dispersed.

How the Cotton Crop is Growing.

In the central portions of the
cotton belt, in parts Of the Allan
tic States, and over large area
in Texas, there has been decided
Improvement in the condition of
cotton, but over considerable areas
in the northern portion of the
western States drought has been
but partially relieved, while ex-
cesslve rainfall in North Carolina
was very damaging. There is
about the usual amount Of she'd
ding reported, but otherwise the
plants are doing we'll, and fruitlne
satisfactorily. Cotton picking will
soon be general over southerB and
central Texas, and open bolls are
becoming common in the gulf
States. The plant continues small
and late.

ROYAL MANHOOD.
George F. Tibbitts Of Washington
Lectures in Opera House.
He Says the Country Needs More
Courageous and Royal Men--Those
Who Are Not Selfish.

Fully 1900 persons heard an eloquent
lecture on Royal Manhood by George
+. Tibbitts of Washington, d. c., State
Secretary of the Y. M. G. A., at the
Opera House yesterday afternoon, under
the auspices of the local association
The lecture was illustrated with beauti-
full stereopticon views which Mr. lib
bits has had much trouble and expense
in collecting in different parts Of the
globe.
Each view was illustrated by Mr. lib.
bits with some practical suggestion as
to what Royal Manhood is and the
advantage the Y. M. 9. A. gives the
young men of today.
During his lecture Mr.. Tibbtts said:
sour country needs more courageous
and royal men. The man who goes
through life NOT thinking so much Of his
own pleasure but of other men, is the
kind we want. The story Of the Y. M.
G. A. does not start at the door of the
association hut it begins at home. The
child should be trained for the great
work to come. The Y. NJ. G. A, is the
omen door to the church and it unites all
churches"
The American flag and the emblem Of
the Y. NJ. G. A. which were shown on
the canvas were loudly applauded by
the congregation. On the emblem were
the words spirit, mind and body, mean
ing that the Y. NJ G. A. trains young
men spiritual education and physical.
Mr.. Tibbittss gave an illustrated lee
ture at Rodney Street Presbyterian
Church last night on christian Ac-
tiyity."

Why is it not good State service and
good politics now? We are not in the
habit Of advocating political roprisals,
but We can see no reason why Democrats

they gave Republicans when they, tho
Democrats, were in power. The Demo-

doubtless that is reason enough why

BOLD ROBBER
CAPTURED.

The mystery surrounding the bold
theft of horse and wagon and lot of
wheat from the farm Of William Seal
near Talleyville on Tuesday night last
was cleared up on Saturday night by De-
tective Bernard J. McVey, when he took
into custody William Tasco, colOred.
The robbery had been reported to De-
tective McVey on Wednesday last by
Joseph Chardler and he at once went
to work on the case.
Detective McVey worked up clue
and located his man at Wooddale. He
went to Wooddale accompanied by Ser
geant Daniel Keleher on Saturday
night. They found, however, that Tasco
had left. They traced him to Chadd's
Ford and then back again to Wooddale
where they finally placed him under ar
rest at midnight. Tasco admitted the
theft. He stated that he had gone to
the farm and hitched blind horse to
wagon.
He then went to the granary and got
a lot of wheat and put it in the wagon.
He then drove to the Wooddale quarry.
He took out the wheat, turned the horse
around and let it go.
The horse wandered back toward
home and was found near Siverbrook.
Although the horse is blind, it did not
lose its way, yet it had to pass four or
five roads
A portion of the wheat stolen was re-
covered in shanty at Wooddale and
another lot at Wilkinson's mill near Mt.
Cuba where Tasco had taken it to have
it ground.
Tasco was brought TO the police sta
ton early Sunday morning and locked
up. He will be given hearing before
Magistrate DAILY this morning.
Detective McVey also arrested two no
torious chicken thieves, John Evans and
William Postles, both colored.
Evans was arrested yesterday and
postles on Saturday. They are wanted
for breaking into the hen coop at the
home of Mrs. Theodore Rogers, on the
causcway between this city and New
Castle and stealing twenty-one chickens.
The men admitted the theft. Both
have served time for chicken stealing.
Postles has served two terms Of three
years each. Evans has served one Of
two years and another Of one year.
