LARGE SUM IN PENSIONS.
Over Half Million Dollars Paid BY
Pennsylvania Railroad Compeny
In Two Years.

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-The pension
department of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company has prepared interest
ing data showing the results of oper-
alton thereof during the two years of
its existence. 1t is in part:
The statistics of the department,
compiled as of Dec. 81. 1901, indicate
that there are authorized to be paid
to retired employees during the year
1901, allowances aggregating $780,
290.20, and this, added to the allow
ances paid during 1900, shows a total
OF 1886, 310.17 for the two years of
the departments existence, which ex-
penditures were borne entirely by the
companies associated in the admins
ton Of the department being provid-
ed for by an annual appropriation of
100000 and does not include the
amounts incurred in the operation OF
the department.
Since the inception of the depart
ment 1874 employees have been re-
tired and granted pension allowances,
OF which number 217 have, to Dec. 81,
1902, died. OF the total number re-
tired, 24S were Of the SIS to- 70-year
class. 143 in 1900 and los in 1901. OF
these so relieved from active duty,
the requests originating from the en-
ployes were four to every one eman-
ating from the employing oficer. This
Is very strong indication that the
efforts OF the company in allowing
its disabled employees to retire who
have served 80 or more years con-
fnuously. between the ages of IS and
SO years, with substantial allowance
for the remainder Of their lives, are
much appreciated.

FIGURES ON FORESTRY.
Facts of Great Moment Collected by a
Worlds Fair Official.

ST. Louis, May 26.-Dr. Tarleton ii.
Bean, chief of the department of for
estrv of the worlds fair. addressed the
National Hardwood Lumbermen's As
ISOLATION at Il banquet at the Southern
Hotel here and presented these import
ant facts upon forestry:
"Altho the axe of the woodman has
been welded in the United States Tor
upwards OF three centuries. the forestry
area OF our country, exclusive OF Alas
ka and recent accessions of territory, is
still estimated to comprise 1OO,OOO,O0o
acres, covering over a million square
miles. The understandable timber stand
of the United States is believed to ag-
gregate one thousand three hundred
and eighty billion feet board measure.
1t has also been completed that the an
nual. cut of merchantable timber i'll the
United States is 5,oo0,00o.Oo0 feet
board measure, or somewhat less than
the supposed annual increase OF such
timber.
1T does not appear to be generally
known that the annual value of our tor
ests' products approximate S9Ooo0o,00V,
thus ranking second only TO the pro-
ducts of agriculture.
according to the census of 1881 the
farms of the United States contained
623, 900. 900 acres, of which nearly one
third is under wood. This history OF
the occupation of farming lands III our
country begins With the utilization OF
the interested level of undulated areas,
followed by the clearing of trees at
greater elevations until the bulk OF the
present forested regions is limited
largely to the mountains. Upon these
mountain areas we are depending to-
day for the products and the advant-
ages to be derived from the forests

walton of power from stream flow, pro-

MOB HANGS MURDERER
Abraham Witherup, Who Killed
William Grow April IL Last,
Lynched.
Victim Shows Remarkable Nerve
and Offers to Jump to His
Death.
Admitted Crime. But Claimed lie
Acted in Self Defense
Leaders Known.

Paris, No. May 26.-Abraham With
erup, who was accused of numbering
William Grow April II last, was taken
from the Paris jail by a mob and
hanged Sunday morning.
Witherup was arraigned Saturday
before Judge Eby and his trial was set
for June so. 1t had been rumored that
a mob would be ready to take him from
the officers as he was being taken from
the jail to the court house, but the OFF,
GERS eluded it by having him arraigned
at an early hour. This, together with
the postponement of the trial until such
a late date, so incensed Grows friends
that they decided to lynch the man.
Sheriff Clark and Deputy Sheriff's
Clark and Masterson took charge OF the
Jail at an early hour Saturday night.
BY II o'clock the streets were thronged
with men from the surrounding coun-
try. Stephen Grow, father of the muir
dered boy, went to the sheriff and de-
manded that he hand over the jail
keys, saying that the crowd intended to
have Witherup at any cost. The sher-
if refused to deliver the keys and
pleaded with the mob to let the law
take its course.
For several hours the sheriff, with his
assistants, stood at the door OF the jail
with drawn levolVers and succeeded in
keeping back the crowd. j. II. White
cotton appealed to the mob to dispense
The lynchers thereupon retired, but
when the officers relaxed their vigil
lance, thinking the danger had passed,
they were attacked and oVerpowered.
the mob having quietly returned, armed
with sledge hammers and iron bars.
Sheriff Clark and one deputy We're bad
ly hurt defending the jail.
| Several men guarded the officers
while the others battered down the
door of the jail and forced a way to the
cell occupied by Witherup A rope was
placed around his neck, his hands and
feet were tied and he was dragged thru
the streets q quarter of a mile to
| bridge, where he was asked if he had
anything to say.
The prisoner showed great GOODNESS.
He asserted that he killed Grow in self
defense and threw mis- body in the river
| because of fear of arrest: that ne Ole
not steal Grows watch and money, as
had been charged.
| TVitherlp was the most composed
man in the crowd. He talked as ra-
tionally and quietly as in ordinary con-
versation. He answered all questions
put to him by Stephen Crow the MUIR
dered boys father. When he was or
dered to get upon the railing of the
bridge and jump off he replied that he
could not, as his hands and feet Were
tied but offered TO do so If the moi
would unite his feet. He was lifted VI
to the railing and Stephen Gro"
pushed him eff. His neck was broker
by the fall.
About 200 persons witnessed thu
hanging. The county attorney says n
has the names of the leaders of tn
crowd and will prosecute them relent
lessly.
