weeks water has been hauled to
Pekay by the Iowa Central to keep
the mines running there, and the

mines at an expense of $25 per day.
Millions of gallons of water are
pumped out of the mines every week,
but this is unfit for use in the boilers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The disabled

picked her up Thursday night, nine miles
west of Piedras Blancas. AT that time the
Lennox was still drifting down the coast
and met the Iaqua as the latter vessel was
on her way up from San Diego TO Eureka
From the time she broke down until
picked up by the Iaqua the Lennox drifted
and sailed under a jury rig over one hum

DEPLORES THE LYNCHING
GOVERNOR LONGING WOULD PUNISH
THE MISSISSIPPI MOB.
Intimatfon that the Sheriff Failed to
Do His Duty at CarroIltOn-
Militia Was Ready.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 3.-In an official
statement to-day Governor Longino de-
plores the Carrollton lynching ana says
every effort Will be made TO bring the
members of the mob TO justice. The Gov
ernor saws he wired the sheriff of Carroll
county TO protect the prisoners at all haz-
ards and ordered one company of militia
at Greenwood held in readiness to move
on short notice. Although the Governor
told the sheriff to call for troops if he was
unable to protect his prisoners, he says the
sheriff did not reply TO his telegram. The
Governor continues:
Failing to hear from the sheriff l COM
municated with Judge Stevens over the
telephone, and he informed me that the
situation was hourly growing more serious.
but that the sheriff declined to call for
troops because he feared that when the
mob became apprised of such request it
would become more hasty and precipitate
in it's work of lynchng. and that the sheriff
feared also that there would be trouble be-
tween the soldiers and the lynchers should
the militia appear on the scene. In the alb
sence therefore, of a request by the sheriff
for troops, and being without authority TO
send them TO Carrollton unless called for
by the civil authorities l notified Captain
Keesler and the railroad company at
Greenwood that / would have nc need for
theiE further services. ] made inquiries for
the sheriff but did not ascertain his where
abouts during my stay in CarrOllton. L was
informed that neither he nor his deputies
nor posse or guard summoned by him made
or offered any resistance TO the mob. L
further learned that the mob was in pos
session of the keys TO the jail and took the
prisoners without injury in any way to the
prison. but did not ascertain how the
lynchers came in possession of the keys:
Those actually participating In the
crime could perhaps be identified by the
testimony of two or three hundred citizens
present and not participating. including the
circuit Judge. the district attorney sheriff
and county officers and members of the bar
resident in Carrollton, and i cannot, there
fore. think that public sentiment in favor
of the enforcement of law has become so
dead as TO tolerate such an outrage upon
the law such an insult 10 the court and
such barbarity TO humanity. Having con-
fdence in the courage and honesty of pur
pose OF Judge Stevens. District Attorney
Hill and other good citizens who witnessed
the affair, i believe the perpetrators there
OF will be made 10 feel the force of the
Judge and district attorney should become
ment and prosecution OF the lynchers there
is little doubt that these fearless officials
would substitute others during said prose-
cution to take their respective official
places, and that they would become wit
nesses against those who have offered TO
them and TO their court such defiance and
effrontery.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The news CT the
establishment Of American shoe depots in
Vienna has caused great uneasiness among
the master shoemakers and in the councils
of the Shoemakers' Guild says the Vienna
correspondent of the Herald.
Herr Bitsea, president Of the guild, saws:
The establishment of American shoe
depots in Vienna will be attended with alb
solutely tragic consequences so far as the
Vienna shoemaking industry is concerned.
Agents of the American syndicate are al
ready in Vienna engaged in hiring COM
modious premises in each ward to estab-
nsh shoe stores therein. What renders
the matter more hard OH the Vienna shoe
makers is that Americans will not send
shoddy shoes 10 Vienna The leather which
they employ is already well known 10 the
Viennese, being used by local shoemakers
II is fine thin and soft, but a thoroughly
durable leather, and has been worn in vi
emma for years past by people Of the upper
classes. Ii is only the workmanship that
can be better in Viennese shoes because
Viennese shoemakers employ hand labor
while the Americans use machinery The
American syndicate owns a big shoe fac
tory in Philadelphia in which a pair of
shoes can be made in from thirty 10 thirty

while he is reading a newspaper the shoes
are made and he can take them away,
