Corinth, Miss, Sept. 29.-Writhins
in the flames OF burning fagots, pilec
high by hundreds of citizens, Tom
Clark, alias Will Gibson, young
negro, was burned at the stake here
at late hour yesterday, after having
confessed to one of the most atrociou'
crimes in the history Of North Missis
sippi, the assault and murder OF Mrs
Carey Whitfield, on Aug. IS last. Be
fore the torch was applied Clars
stated that he deserved his fearful
fate Last August, Mrs. Whitfield, the
wife of a wellknown citizen, was
found dead in her home. Investiga
ton showed that the woman had beer
assaulted and her head was practi
cally severed from her body, razor
having been used in the bloody work
Both Whitfield and his wife were re
lated to several Of the most prominent
families in the south, and the indiS
nation of the people knew no bounds
All efforts to find the guilty man
failed. A committee OF IL citizens

It became known last Monday that
Tom Clark, negro living near here
had had trouble with his wife, and thu
latter threatened to disclose the Sc

the woman and she told enough tc

an excursion train in Mississippi. Fl

self upon a negro woman, and also
of the theft Of $1,000 from a physi

to deceive the officers Of the law.
The husband and brother Of Clark's

CHOLERA FROM VEGETABLES.
Report to War Department says
IL Thus Started tn
Manila.

Washington, Sep 29.-The bureau
of insular affairs the war depart
ment has made public report OF the
chief quarantine Office Of the Philip
pine islands, dated July "a, 1902. re-
citing in great detail the efforts OF
the authorities to stamp out the
plague and cholera in the islands.
The quarantine stations are said to
be the best in the Orient, and the In
spection work has been very heavy.
As to cholera. the report says:
Il wish to state as pertinent to the
manner in which cholera was intros
duced into Manila, that this city is
the greatest vegetable market in the
Orient, since nothing of this nature
is produced in the Philippines, and
everything Is imported Nearly all OF
these vegetables. potatoes, cabbagei
celery and lettuce, come from Canton
and the West river country adjacent!
The Chinese method of fertilizing
plants is too well known to mention,
and the danger OF such articles as
cabbage, lettuce and celery, which are
often eaten in the uncooked state. is
apparent. in view of the possibility
that a disease like cholera has pre-
vailed in the territory in which they
have been grown.
Quarantine to Protect Provinces.
Upon the appearance Of cholera
in Manila. the necessity for protecting
the provinces against the introduce
ton of the disease by vessels was ap,
parent, and consequently, on the 21st
Of March, a five-days' quarantine was
declared on all vessels sailing from
Manila for island ports. The same
regulation was applied to United
States army transports, since large
number OF troops were being returned
at this time
This quarantine has been effective
since, although As vessels have had
cases Of cholera occur on board while
serving their quarantine here. No
vessel has had the disease develop
after discharge from quarantine and
no port in the philippine islands has
been infected by vessels from Manila,
with the exception of Nueva Caceras.
the latter being infected soon after
the appearance OF the disease fin
Manila by vessel that had been per-
mitted to load in quarantine and sail
to Neva Caceras, without the Ave
days quarantine. II was afterward
learned that some CT the crew had
communicated WITH the shore In
Manila, che Ct whom had acquired the
infection during the visit and devel
oped the case after the vessel arrived
at Nueva Caceres."

New Mexican Customs Law.

The new customs law in Mexico
which went into effect today S
hailed with pleasure by our neigh
bors Of Matamoros. Under the new
order persons going into Mexico
from this side can carry any articles
purchased in this country to the
value of so, Mexican money,
without having to report same to
the custom house or receive a
government certificate. This does
not remove the duty on such goods,
but that will hereafter be collected
at the ferry by the customs guard.
Such duties are very small on i'm
ports into the iona Libre.
The new arrangement is much
cheaper, however, as it saves the fee
which must be paid when duties
are collected at the custom house,
besides the stamp fee for a receipt.
1t also saves much time and trouble
to be able to pay the duties on
small purchases at the ferry, instead
of going to the custom house. The
guard at the ferry will hereafter
examine all parcels carried by
persons from here to Matamoros, as
at other ports along the river, and
collect the duties on them. This
new ruling applies only to the Free
Zone, it is said. 1t will make it
much more convenient for peoplein
Matamoros to purchase supplies on
a small scale of such articles as can
be bought in Brownsville
