MOB STILL REIGNS
Ravisher Burned At the Stake By
Victims NeighborS
PROOF OF GUILT CONCLUSIVE
Husbands Hand Lighted the Fire and
Avenged the Crime Against His
Wife-The Negro Died Without
Tremor.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 12.-Eighteen
miles south of Savannah, near the Sea-
board 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 story of
the tragedy of last night. Washington
was captured at Liberty City in the
afternoon and was brought to Way
Station, near which place his crime
was committed. He was carried be-
fore Mrs. Clark, who identified him
positively as the negro who had as
saulted her. The proof o. guilt was
absolutely conclusive, and includes
circumstances that scarcely can be
limited at in print.
The negro's positive Identification
by his victim sealed his fate. A mob
of 400 men clammored for his life, but
the leaders Of the mob, numbering less
than a dozen, carried into execution
the plans of vengeance they had
formed The rest of the mob was
kept at a distance and was not per-
mitted to come within 100 yards of
the place where Washington met his
death. This was at a spot few feet
from the railway track and not 500
yards from the house in which the
ravisher committed the crime for
which he paid so dreadful a penalty.
He walked to his death without a tre-
NOR and met it without a prayer or an
appeal for mercy. He admitted his
guilt of crimes incident TO the prin-
cipal one, which proved his guilt of
that. But TO the end he stubbornly re-
fused 10 acknowledge that he had as
saulted Mrs. Clark.
Along the side of the railway track
crowbar was driven into the earth.
To this Washington was forced and
bound TO it in sitting position.
His legs extended straight in front
of him on either side of the bar a
chain held him fast around the waist,
while a heavy rope encircled 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 refused. Her husband was select
ed 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 flames leaped hungrily towards
Washington's body. The man showed
no signs in his face Of the agony he
must have suffered, and met death
without a groan, as seemingly he had
faced the leaders of the mob without
fears. The crowd watched the work
of the flames until Washingtons head
fell back upon his shoulders and he
died For some few minutes longer
they waited around the stake, and
then, without shot having been
fired, without noise and without I'M
due excitement. they dispersed. The
tragedy in which Washington was the
central figure was enacted throughout
with all the semblance of decorum
that its character would permit. Ne
groes, citizens of the section of Bryan
county in which the tragedy took
place, were almost a unit in approving
it, and very many were members Of
the mob that carried into execution
the plan of vengeance.

BOTH CLAIM FOULS.
The Cadillac Was Doubtless Crowded
Into the Buoy BY Invader.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-If Capt. Thomp-
son of the Cadillac enters a protest
against the Invader on account of the
foul that occurred as both yachts were
crossing the line for the start, it will
undoubtedly be on the grounds that
the Invader was crowding him onto
the buoy and that, if he had gone
about on starboard tack to avoid the
collision he would have fouled the
buoy himself The authority for this
would be section IL of racing rule 20
of the Yacht Racing Union of the
Great Lakes, under which these inter-
national races are being sailed. This
rule provides that when two yachts,
both without lacking, are about to
pass a mark on the required side, then
the outside yacht must give the inside
yacht room to pass clear of the mark"
The judges however, may apply Sec
tion 13 of rule 26 instead This rule
applies to "a yacht approaching shore
shoal, rock, ETC., and cannot go clear
by altering her course without fouling
another yacht, then the latter shall,
upon being hailed by the former, at
once give her sea room or bear away,
as nearly the same time as possible;
but, should such obstruction be a mark
of the course, a yacht shall not force
another to tack, under the provisions
of this rule"
Capt Jarvis of the Invader probably
will base his protest on section 2 Of
rule 90, which provides that when
both yachts are close hauled, the yacht
with the wind on the port side shall
keep clear"

Cadillac Gets Justice.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-At the Chicago
Yacht club last night the judges for
the international races for the Can
adas cup gave out the astonishing
announcement that Cadillac, the de-
fender, may increase the base OF its
fore triangle 4.36 feet. This is cor
rection with vengeance, and all
yachtsmen will quickly realize the
great difference this will make. 1t
means that Cadillac can carry out its
bowsprit four feet and four inches,
thereby increasing the area of its jib
by about 100 square feet, and can in
crease the length of its spinnaker
boom by four feet four inches, and,
consequently, can set much larger
spinnaker. Whether advantage will be
taken of the opportunity TO increase
the area of Cadillac's headsail is
problematical, because it might so af-
feet the boats helm as to be detri-
mental 1t is a certainty that Cadillac
will carry a larger spinnaker, which
will be great advantage in windward
and leeward work.

Readv to Sail,

Norfolk, Va. Aug. 13-The gunboat
Machias, en- route for Colon, has been
loading coal, provisions and ammuni-
ton in Hampton Roads since Satur-
day. A large part of the supplies came
from the Brooklyn navy yard and a
great deal of the ammunition was pre-
pared at the st. Helena magazine
here. The vessel is likely to sail at
any moment She will carry full
complement of men. A number of
graduated apprentices from the train
ing ship Lancaster, now in port, have
been transferred to the Machlas. II is
not probable that the boat will put in
at any other port between here and
her destination.
