OF Mrs. Davis where he was identified,

the farm. of John Lemon, ten miles
from this city. The mob in the mean
time had swelIed to enormous proper

Mrs. Lemon.
The crowd then started back to Sui
Ivan with the prisoner, but one mile
east of the Lemon farm a rope was
thrown over one arm of telegraph
pole and the trembling wretch was
quickly jerked into the air. The gov
ernor had ordered out the Vincennes
militia to protect the negro, but his
instructions were received too late.
After hanging the negro the mob
quietly dispersed. It was composed

1t was learned late tonight that the
negro, who had previously given his

he lived in Indianapolis, and asked
them to ship his body there to his

The response was that they did so

Gus Issues between the two countries
at the present time. owing to the cor
olallty between them He intended TO
, devote his careful attention to the reel
procity treaty, which was still pend
ing, and said he saw no reason why
the TWO countries should not develop
their mutual trade by a more liberal
exchange of the products which each
produced exclusively. He cited Amer

Concerning the Panama canal the

As NJ. JuSserand has written several
books in English. the eorresp Ondent
asked his opinion Of American litera-
ture. He said he had been brought
up with American authors, as his
fathers library contained the works
of Cooper and Hawthorne, along with
the French classics. and his later meet
ing with American authors gave him
a personal interest in the subject
He related that ION one. occasion

Rabelais club in London. the Ameri-

were familiar with the peculiar ca
dence OF western stories, and proved
by reciting the closing lines of ''The

acquaintance with Bret Harte's work
Bret Harte repaid the compliment by
saying that when he was a struggling
clerk in California he was impressed
by the descriptive power Of the elder
Dumas and thereafter moulded his
style after. that of the great French
author
The ambassador spoke of the pleas
ure with which he had read President
RooseVeIt's strenuous philosophy and
his ranch tales. These works were
brought to his attention during So

first believed that no appropriation
would be made, owing TO the eompli-
cations regarding the new French en-
bassy in Vienna, but the chamber is
now so cordial in its feelings toward
America that there is little doubt that
the appropriation will be granted It
is expected that he sum o be apprOpri-

said yesterday:
The demand for desirable residences
In Salt Lake in the fail, winter and
spring is very great. The supply is not
equal to the demand. Consequently
rents are always high. People residins

with the result that the lucky one is
forced TO pay a good rent.
Another cause for the present high
rate Of rents is that workingmen are
more prosperous today than they were
a few years ago A man who formerly
could not pay more than s. or So per
month for a house can now pay Sc or
IS or even $40. And those who for
merry lived in a SO per month house
now seek one costing half as much
again. And so. the willingness to pay
more increases in proportion to a
mans income.
That increasing demand, coupled
with the existing shortage in good
houses, naturally forces rents up a

WORK IN MINES
Is UNHEALTHY

CCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 2O.-When to-
days session of the strike commits
sion began, Rev. DR.. Peter Roberts
was put on the stand again. When the
commission adjourned yesterday ex-
Congressman Simon P Wolverton,
counsel for the PhiladelL hia & Reading
Coal & Iron company, was cross-exam-
ing DR.. Roberts. Answering a question
propounded by Judge Gray yesterday,
DIR. Roberts said today that a compare
son of fatalities on all railroads in the
United States with those in the anthra-
cite fields shows that 2.5 per 1. 900 rail-
road employees are killed, while So per
1000 mine employees are killed. The IA
talities - switchmen, flagmen and
watchmen-in 1900, he stated to be So
per 1000, as against SIS per 900 among
miners and their laborers working in
side the mines.
The question Of arriving at a fair
price on rock in connection with coal
mining, DR.. Roberts said, was one that
could be adjusted only by the mine
employees and the companies. He said
it was far from the truth to character
lie the operators as hardened and un-
just and as seeking constantly TO grind
men down to the last penny of wag
as had been charged.
DR.. Roberts declared that the men in
the HOulntIn anthracite district voted
to stand by their brothers in the north
ern district on the question of insist
ing on the recognition of the union and
also on all other points raised in the
Shamokin convention. Answering fur

Roberts said he understood that dis
sensiOnS had occurred between miners
and their helpers, the latter claiming
that the miners left them at an unsea-
sonable hour and imposed on them the
whole of the labor.
