STRANCLED TO DEATH.
Kentucky Mob Quietly ChOkes
the Life Out of a Negro.

Paris KY, Feb. u.-George Carter, a
negro, who was in jail here charged With
having assaulted Mrs. w E. Board
about three weeks ago, was lynched ny
a mob early today Shortly after 2
o'clock about 80 determined men ap
peared at the jail door and demanded
admfttance of Jailer Kizer. He refused
and the door was burst open.
The jailer was overpOwered in an IN
slant, the keys secured and in less than
five minutes Carter was in the hands o.
the mob.
He refused to make any statement
It was only the work of a minute to
place a rope around his neck, and he
was then half dragged to the entrance
OF the court house. The rope was then
thrown over the iron arch leading to the
entrance, and while several pulled on the
rope, others lifted his body.
He died by strangulation. The mob
then quietly dispersed. During the
whole affair there was not a loud word
spoken. Scarcely any one in the town
Outs ide Of the party knew that the
lynching was to occur. The electric
lights had previously been extinguished
and the town was in total darkness. Be
fore the men dispersed they pinned a
caro- on the body of the negro, bearing
this inscription:
This win be the fate of all negroes
who assault white women"
The other occupants of the jail who
are colored were greatly frightened and
their cries and meanings could be heard
for several blocks. Half an hour after
the lynching occurred the streets were
deserted and the lifeless body of the
negro was swaying in the wind.
The crime with which Carter was
charged was a most atrocious one. Mrs.

the expenses OF the hail and lodging
The committee is to be congratulated
upon securing lodging quarters for tie

as on this occasion the price for lodging
generally will be at a premium, and
many visitors will no doubt be very glad

OF the congressional delegation invi-
ted to attend the meeting only Mr.
Bailey and Mr.. Miller were present. The
other members could not attend on ac-
count Of enga gements, though each ex-
proposed arrangements and volunteered
any assistance necessary.
Mr.. Bailey and Mr. Miller were called
upon for an expression, and Inspired the
meeting with a feeling that this recep-
ton should be made a decided success,
and that the club should have our very
best treatment regardless Of cost. They
informed the committee to draw on them
for their share of expenses.
A committee was appointed. with Rep
resentative Curtis as chairman, to con
fer with inaugural committee to obtain
a gOodly amount of fireworks for the
fam beaux. It is not necessary to say a
good supply will be furnished. An appr0-
priation of $4,000 has been made to COW
er expense of this feature
On account of the fact that a large
number of Kansas men here will join
the ranks Of CT. A. r.. and other Crgani-
cations in the parade, it has almost beer
decided there will be no escort to the
club. Although, however, il may be
probable that a number viii don some
ity.
The sunfower badge adopted to 70
worn by all Kansans on this event will
attcact the usual attention it has at
former national gatherings and conse-
quently be in great demand. AT DO. h
the meetings Of the G. A. R. and ma
tional Republican convention held a.
Philadelphia last year, this much coveted
F<a lsas emblem sold at fabulous prices
Those disposed Of in this way, were Of
course, by Philadelphia people who
made them for that purpose.
1t was the sense of the meeting Thurs
day night for the secretary to advise the
flan- beau club to bring 200 or 300 SUI
flower badges with them to sell, whereby
it could materially be assisted in raising
funds to pay its expenses. Probably
larger number than suggested will be
necessary to meet the demand It Is
very likely that every one Of the Roo
kansans in Washington viii want a
sunfOwer badge. Outside of this the de-
mand will extend to visitors from every
state.
Another meeting for the furtherance of
plans VIII be held next Thursday night

NIB. CALDERHEAD'S BILL.
It Will Give meritorious Pensioners
More Consideration.

Washington, D. c., Feb. u.-Represent-
alive Calderhead of Kansas introduced a
unanimously reported by the committee
on invalid pensions that will be of great
under the act of 1890. Mr.. Calderhead has
submitted the bill as reported to several
of the senate leaders, including Senator
Hanna, who has approved II and agreed
to give his active support The reported
All persons who are eligible for pen
siOns at the rate Of 81 per month under
ing to pensions who are now, or may
hereafter become, disabled by total blind

own vicious habits which diSableS them
in such degree as to require the con
slant or frequent and periodical attend
ance of another person, or who are or
to exceed 500 per year exclusive OF any
pension shall be entitled to a pension at
Of application therefor after the passage
In its report on the bill the committee
on invalid pensions says:
THE act of June q, 1890 was passed to
give relief to such as could not prove
ice, or whose disabilities may have been
incurred since Their discharge, but it only
gives Slz month Tor total disability
to earn a support by manual labor.
In cases where the disability is total

quent and periodical attendance of other
sufficient for necessary and humane care.
It is these cases that come to congress
for relief by. special acts. In this con-
gross more than $500 bills for private
pensions have been introduced In the
house and $500 in the senate. OF these
about 700 Of the house bills have passed
the house and about 500 of the senate
bills have passed the senate and come to
the house. The committee finds that
nearly all the cases presented are of re IL
merit and are cases in which existing
laws do not furnish the relief which a
sense OF justice and humanity compels ~
to recognize. The large number of cases
which cannot be reached and considered
by congress for want of time justifies us
in this attempt to relieve them by a gen
eral law.
The pension bureau cannot enlarge the
statutes in these cases. but must follow
the requirements of the laws which were
made. some of them thirty-eight years
ago; and these claimants cannot now
prove sufficiently the origin of their disa-
billties in the service. They can obtain
only So per month under the act of June
q, 1890. The rate fixed in the bill of $50
per month seems to be reasonable for
these cases It will also establish uni
formity of rate for these cases which
cannot be reached in any other way
