Later he was attacked by fit of
epilepsy to which he was subject.
When he had recovered from this at
tack sufficiently to walk, he went 10
the kitchen and, procuring an oil can
poured the contents over his head and
scantily clothed body.
Before his wife could interfere Stitch
had struck a match and in an instant
he was a mass of flames. He stag

ing carpet in his hand, he tried to toss
1t upon the bed His strength failed
him however, and he sank to the floor,
expiring in awful agony.
Neighbors were called, and through
their efforts, the home was saved from
the flames.

SAMUEL GOHPERs' WARNING.
Unanilnity Of Action the onIy
Hope of Allied Labor.

New Orleans, November l3.-Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, at the opening
of the American Federation of Labor
today, delivered an impassioned warn
ing to the members of the organization
that, the Immediate future OF trace
and labor assemblies was seriously en-.
dangered by the conflicting claims OF
jurisdiction made by different bodies.
Unless such things were approached IN
calmness and handled with moderation,
he declared, the labor organizations OF
the country would soon be involved IN
a conflict which would by comparison,
dwarf all the struggles in which lanor
organizations have so far been engaged.
The matter would, unless checked, he
asserted, come to a point where labor
ing men would fight with labor1ng men
from behind barricades, In the manner
in which men deal with their mortal
foes. His warning of danger and his
counsels of peace and moderation met
with a. hearty response from the as
sembled delegates, and applause greet
ed the speaker as he closed that portion
of his address in which he had point
ed out the perils which, in his oplnln,
will surely come unless methods are
altered, and altered soon.
The first day of the Convention,
aside from the address of President
Gompers, was not of great interest to
outsiders and many delegates found it
fatiguing. The morning session was
occupied with addresses of welcome
and responses, and the report OF the
committee of credentials. The after
noon was consumed by the address OF
President Gompers, which occupied
him for two hours and twenty minutes
Of rapid reading. The reports Of other
officers required two additional hours.
Tomorrow it is expected that the
actual work OF the Convention will
be entered upon.

Hanged by a Tennessee Mob.

Lewisburg, Tenn, November 13.-
John Davis, negro was hanged in the
Court House yard today by mob of
five hundred men for the murder of
Robert Adair, a farmer living near
this city. .Adair's body was found in
a terribly multilated condition in a
field near his home here at an early
hour today. He had started out in
pursuit of thief who was stealing his
corn and when his body was discovered
the stock and barrel Of a gun and q
knife covered with blood were found
near him. The knife was identified
as the property of John Davis, color;
ed. The sheriff organized posse and
went to the house of Davis and found a
pile of bloody clothes, but the murder
er had fed. He was caught, however,
about half mile from town, but not
until he had been tiwce wounded. He
was brought back and the sheriff and
the Rev. John R. Harris made an ap-
peal to the people to allow the law to
take it's course.

Explanation.

Editor The Daily Item: / have just

correspondent in which he states that
no election was held at his polling

they had not been paid for their ser:

no assurance that they would be paio
for this service. -
So far as the primary election is con-
cerned, [ wish to state:
l That the County Democratic Exec
utive Committee ordered that each
manager of that election should receive
ore dollar for both the first and seconc
primaries. There being three man

dollars for each club.
