NO OTHER lYNcHING LIKE IT.
A Negro Criminals Taking on by an
Ingenious Southern Mob.

New Orleans Times-Democrat)
"One Of the most singular lynchings
ever saw" said visitor from an ad-.
joining state. happened number OF
years ago, and suppose there are put
few persons alive now who recall the
strange facts of the case. Burning
negroes was not in vogue then. 1t was
even rare thing to hear OF nrst-
class hanging. OF course, men had the
habit then. as they have it now, or
putting black men out of the way when
they resOrted to shocking violences, but
they went about it in a different way. 4
Coming to my story, suppose it
is the. only instance in the history OF
the country when such a unique meth-
cd of dispOsing of a negro was employ
ed. The crime with which the negro
was charged was heinous-of that klnd
which is said to justify summary pun
fShment. 1t was committed near the
bank of river. There was no ques-
ton about the negro's guilt He made
a complete confession, and said ne de-
served death for the awful crime ne
had been guilty Of For while the
mob did not know just how to proceed.
1t was some time before the frenzied
men who surrounded the negro could
make up their minds as to the best
method of procedure. Hanging was
suggested. Shoot him. said another
member of the group. Burn him.,
cried another. and so it went on. Fin
ally some fellow made suggestion
which met with the approval of the
mob.
1t was to chain the negro in a large
boiler. weight it down so it would
gradually sink and cast him adrift on
the river. This plan was followed out
to the letter. 1t was in the dead hour
Of the night when they fioated out to
the middle of the stream with the negro
and the boiler and the weights which
would sink it.. He was carefully chain
ed to the boiler, so there was no pos-
sible chance of escape. Then the
weights were piled in and the poor
wretch was cast adrift on the waters.
Nothing could be heard but the
screams of the manacled negro. and
the dip and splash of the oars as the
lynchers made their way back to the
shore from which they had embarked
on the gruesome mission. AS the skiff
showed it's bow into the muddy bank
and the pulled-in oars ratified over its
sides. wild gurgling shrek was heard
down the stream, and then a sad, list
less silence spread over the waters,
and the only sound to be heard was
the muffled crunch of the lynchers' feet
as they tugged up the frowning en-
bankment."

ONE WAS KILLED.
Trainmen Jump from One Train in
Front Of Another.

South Ashburnham, Mass, Dec. o.
Two freight trains on the Fitchburg di-
vision of the RostOn & Maine jumped
into each other here, Friday morning,
anG members of the crew jumped Off.
Two of them leaped in front Of pas
senger train which was going by on
arothcr track. One was killed and the
otlSer sustained fractured skull. and it
is feared he will die. ~ o.
The dead man: +. c. Baker. fireman,
of Greenfield.
Injured: - Cutler. brakeman of
Greenfield. skull fractured, at Fitch
burg hospital.
The accident happened at a point
where east bound freight trains We're
drawing up near the ground in order
that an east bound passenger train
which was company behind them.
might reach spur and pas by on the
westbound track. On account Of slip
perry rails, the rear freight train slid
against the aboose of the forward one
and Baker jumped from his post upon
the engine of the rear train toward the
west bound track. At that instant the
passenger train rushed by and the man
was instantly killed.
Cutler was the rear brakeman on the
forward freight train and he jumped
but did not go directly upon the west
bound track. One of the swiftly pass
ing passenger cars, however, struck
him and he sustained injuries which it
is feared will prove fatal.
The trains did not come together with
any great force. so that the damage to
rolling stock and freight was not
heavy. Wrecking trains which We're
sent out soon after the accident made
short work of clearing the track.

LONDON WILLING
To Remove Embargo on Cattle When
Outbreak Is Suppressed.

London. Dec. 5.-The Board of Agricul-
ture has intimated its Willingness to re-
move the embargo on cattle arriving
from New England ports whenever the
American department Of agriculture con-
siders that the outbreak is suppressed.
The board issued. tonight, an order
enabling the landing of cattle under cer-
tain restrictions from the steamer Irish
man. which has arrived at Liverpool from
Boston, the steamers Kansas and Victo-
rian due, today, at Liverpool from Bos-
ton. and the steamer Cambrian, due at
London from Boston.
Meantime, the importers here say that
the quarantine has little effect on the
American meat supply, since the bulk
comes from the West, and it is merely
a question of shipping the cattle by way
of New York instead of Boston.
Regarding the general question of OPEN
ing English ports to Canadian and Ar
gentine live cattle. there is not the slight
est likelihood of the admittance of Argen-
tine cattle until the Board of Agriculture
Is satisfied that the foot and mouth dis
ease has not only been stamped out in
the Argentine Republic. but until the
latter establishes an effectuaI quarantine
against the surrounding countries.

WELL, 1T HURTS US.
Canadas Refusal to Receive Cattle
Shipped Through Maine.

Ottawa, Ont. Dec. 5.-HOn Sydney
Fisher. minister of agriculture, replled.
today to the accusations made against
him to the effect that the minister was
to blame for the refusal of the imperial
authorities to allow Canadian cattle to
land in England which have been
brought to st. John, N. B., over the
Canadian Pacific railway short line
passing through a portion of the State
of Maine Mr.. Fisher answers by au-
thorizing the publication of the follow
ing cablegram, which he sent to the
high commissioner in London, to be
transmitted to the British board of ag-
riculture.
"Strathcona, London. Have received
order issued by Wilson, Washington,

sets. Rhode Island. Connecticut, Yer

ranged to be perfectly safe.
(Signede) FISHER
The reply of the chairman of the
british Board of Agriculture was that
while they could not control Canada
sending cattle over the Canadian Pacific
Railway short line through Maine, it
would he an exceedingly dangerous
proceeding. The minister felt that this
reply left him no resource but to con-
tinue the prohibition in order that the
whole Canadian cattle trade might not
be jeopardiZed.

KEEPING DOWN THE
COST OF LIVING.
An Anxious Mother Tells How It Was
Reduced in Her Home.

Notwithstanding all that is said
about our good times and prosperity,
it is nevertheless fact that during re-
cent years the cost of living has in
creased by between thirty and fifty
per cent. while wages have increased
only ten per cent. and not any in some
occupations. These conditions have
made the struggle of life harder to
bear, and when sickness has added to
the burden it has been, indeed, an up
hill fight. How to save doctors bills
is one Of the most important consider
ations with the average family, and the
success Of Mrs. V. Orienx, of Lawrence,
Mass. in this direction is told here for
the benefit it will do others. Mrs.
Orienx says: MY oldest daughter was
subject to tonsilitis sore throat from
infancy and each winter has been under
physicians care. l am pleased to
say that the use of Father Johns
Medicine has helped her. and my other
little girl. so much that it has not been
necessary to call doctor this winter.

not had to pay doctors bills" AS We
have said before, this old remedy

colds. coughs, throat and lung troubles,
and! is the best remedy ever prescribed
for consumption. Prevents pneumonia
BY keeping this medicine always on
hand, you will save doctors bills, too.
Remember. not a patent medicine, but
the prescription of the eminent special
ist who prescribed it for the late Rev..
Father John O'Brien of Lowell, Mass.
by whom it was recommended, and
from whom it derived it's name. It's
ingredients are pure and wholesome,
free from nerve-deadening, poisonous
drugs or weakening stimulants. 1t is
invaluable as a tonic and body builder.
When you ask for Father Johns Medi-
cine, remember that the 81 bottles con-
tain three times the quantity Of the
50-cent size. 1t is guaranteed. and the
money is refunded in any case where
it does not do all that is claimedfor it.

PARALYSIS OF THE HEART
Caused the Death Of v. S. Minister
Alfred e. Buck.

Yokohama, Dec. 5.-Paralysis of the
heart caused the death of United
States Minister Alfred f. Buck. which
occurred, Thursday. The end was
tragically sudden. Mr.. Buck was the
guest of the Emperor in duck hunt
on the Shinhama preserves. A bird
had been netted and the minister, with
a jocular remark. started to reset the
net. Suddenly he fell. and, without
word or groan. expired instant
aneously. He had suffered from d
weak heart for some time.
Mrs. Buck was not with the party.
Minister Buck was held in high es-
TEEN in Japan and the flags on gov
ernment buildings have been placed
at half mast. The funeral has been
set for Monday next.

DETERMINATION.

for Diseased Cattle.
And Treatment Will Be Applied
Wherever Needed.

Roston. Dec. 5.-That the United
States and the states authority are III
perfect harmony in their e1orts 10
eradicate the foot and mouth disease
from the cattle of New England was
evidenced at the conference held, To-
day at the State House between GOV.
Crane. DR.. D. E. Salmon, the repre-
sentative of the department of agricul-
ture. and Dr. Peters, chief Of the state
cattle bureau when it was agreed that
the only policy to be adopted was that
of determination. Following upon this
line the executive council held spec
ial meeting at noon and authorized DR..
Peters to slaughter all cattle, sheep
and swine in Massachusetts that have
contracted the disease or have been ex-
posed to it.
The federal government will pay the
owners 20 per cent. of the value or the
animals killed and the killing which
will be done by both federal and state
authorities will begin at once.
DR.. Salmon, chief of the United
States bureau of animal industry, be-
lieves that by this course the disease
will be quickly Obliterated. and 1t IS
thought that in a few weeks it will be
possible to raise the quarantine from
the New England states.
Reports received at the Massacnu-
setts cattle bureau show that at pres
ent between 1900 and 1000 animals are
suffering from the disease in this state
and most Of these will probably De
killed. The slaughter remedy will also
be applied in the other New England
states in which the disease exists.
A statement relative to the infected
herds in this state furnished the Boston
Board of Health, today, shows that
they number 101. This statement which
contains the names of the owners OF
the herds, will be sent by the health
board to the various milk contractors
in Boston and vicinity. and the con-
tractors will not purchase milk from
the farms on which there is any foot
and mouth disease.
DIR. Peters thinks it will take until
perhaps the first of the week to have
the machinery ready to carry out the
order Probably the cows in Barre ana
Pepperell will be slaughtered first and
then work will commence in the vicin-
ity of Attleboro. He has some IL
agents besides the local inspectors at
present in the field. No answer has
been received in this city to the cable

Clipperton sent to his government
suggesting that cattle loaded at Port
