Brooks, a Virginia negro, employed in one
of the camps building the coal and iron

insulting women He broke away and
then turned and fired two bullets, one of
which entered Lilly's abdomen while the
other penetrated the shoulder
Brooks tried to escape, but was soon
caught and lodged in the city lookup.
Intense feeling prevailed as there had
been several murders in EllSins and vi
cinity during the last four months the
murderers in each case escaping.
As Brooks was being escorted by the
police from the lookup To til station to
be taken by train to Jail at beverly. the
mob took him from the guard and dragged
him some distance to a tree in the city
park, where he was hanged. He was
badly lacerated and begged for mercy all
the way. The man was almost dead be-
fore he was strung up.
The negroes We're holding festival in
the park and Brooks had previously quar-
relied there with colored woman. The
negroes arc very quiet, knowing the
whites are ally determined to act sum-
marily should there be any demonstra-
ton on thei part. The body of Brooks
is still han. jnG in the park, and, it is said,
will not be cut down until tomorrow.
Lilly is being hurried by special train to
Cumberland to the hospital to be oper-
ated on, but there is little hope for his
recovery. He has n grown family.

continued complaints by residents CT the
northwest section.
For time the prisoner has been n

Not very long ago 4 complaint was re-

erai Thousand of Them.

The complimentary excursion rendered
10 the clerks in the various Government
departments yesterday by the-G Chesapeake
Railway, upon the introduction Of the
new train, the Departmental Express"
to Chesapeake Beach, was a stupendous
undertaking and highly successful.
Twenty five hundred complimentary tick
cts had been distributed among the vari-
Gus departmental clerks. and apparently
a greater number availed themselves of
the courtesy of the railroad Four sec
tions of the Departmental Express car
ried the passengers. Each Section, con-
sistins of eight cars, was filed and the
aisles were crowded. The first section
alone, by actual count carried ~ pas
sengers..
Chesapeake Beach slumbered in the sun
light until evening. Only few visitors,
as is usual of a Monday gave the appear
ance Of life to the resort. a few bathers
dotted the water. A few diners sat at
the tables at the Casino. 4 few stJollers
sauntered along the board walk. Hardly
wheel turned at the Beach. The silence
of idleness reigned. The bandstand was
unoccupied. None of the cars of the
scenic railway was in motion. The car
rousel had not been opened all day.
The first section of the Departmental
Express arrived at about o'clock, and
Chesapeake Beach woke up. The crowd
streamed out OF the cars and soon the
whole resort was inundated with the vis-
tors. augmented by each arriving section.
In moment the water was black with a
thousand bathers. The tables at the Ca
sino were filed with guests, and walters
were hurrying from and to the kitchen,
carrying trays of savory edibles The
board walk, along its mile length, was
suddenly populous with perambulatoTs.
The hum OF the scenic railway cars grew
apace, and the merry laughter OF the up
air.

letter yesterday from Judge Arthur H.
Noyes of the United States District Court
at Nome. Alaska. asking leave of absence
to visit the States The desired permis-
sion was granted and Judge Noyes will

Early in the spring the Attorney Cen
eral forwarded to Judge Noyes a copy of
