A NEGRO was lynched at Jackson,
Northampton county, Friday night.
The usual crime. The victim was q
white woman nearly 20 years old.
Tho Negroes crime was a most brutal
ono. He found his victim alone on
Christmas day, knocked her down
with a chair, broke her arm, cut three
deep gashes in her head, choked her
into insensibility and outraged her.
She knew him and was luckily able to
give the sheriff complete information
so that the negro, whose name was
Jetsr Mitchell, was caught Thursday
and jailed. Friday night he was
taken out and hung.

Sometime ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of pains in her
chest and had bad cough. / gave her
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to
directions and in two days she was we'll and
able to go to school. l have used this rem
edv in my family for the past seven years
and have never known it to fail" saws Jas,
Prendergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamai-
ca, West India Islands. The pains in the
chest indicated an approaching attack of
pneumonia, which, in this instance was un-
doubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t counteracts any ten
dency of cold toward pneumonia. Sold

OUT of the gloom surrounding the
Cropsey tragedy there comes vindica-
ton of the character of the young
woman and rebuke for those who
cast suspicion without knowledge
The finding of the body brought not
life, it is true, but in sustaining char
acter it brought that which is worth
more than life without it. The Incl
dent should teach a salutary lesson
by curbing disposition, altogether
too prevalent, of creating and giving
currency to unfounded suspicion
against character. The lesson is the
more important when considered with
reference to woman's character

be able to unlock the door and to stop
their internal din. But, 10 and behold,
when l finally opened it, instead of
IppOlita's people, there crowded in, in
less time than it takes to tell it, score
of men, among whom l at once recog-
nized Cante Gabrielle, the podesta, the
eight members of the signoria and the
captain of the watch, with almost a
dozen of his men. These latter had
surrounded me before l was even
aware of their intention, and I made
up my mind to submit to capture with
a good grace, seeing that there was
nothing else to do.
The naughty countess now demand
ed of the magistrate an explanation of
this high handed outrage committed in
her presence and upon the person of a
gentleman of her acquaintance, and
the podesta, who, now observed, was
handy legged and not above four feet
and a half in height, thus answered
her:
Gracious lady and beauteous daugh-
ter of our great and worshipful duke,
we have proof indubitable that this
knave before us, who hath doubtless
cajoled and tricked thee with his ly-
ing tongue, is a most foul and danger
Gus conspirator against the duke, thy
father, and that he wickedly doth plot
against his life. And, to show that
speak sooth it is whispered about at
this very moment that the Elevation
lists have already arisen and that in the

already arrived and is making prepar-
tions to receive the chief. Part of
the generals mission is to view the
burial ground of the brave soldiers
who fell at the battle of the Bear
Paws, where General Miles was in
command during fight with the Nez
Perces in 1877. The soldiers graves
have not even been marked by a
wooden cross since they fell in the
fight with the Indians, and were bur-
led on the prairie near Havre, and
General Miles proposes to either re-
move the bones to the National GEM
etery at Custer battle ground, or else

closure for the remains where they

sack the palace and to murder thy sire.
Wherefore HE thee away presently to

go to, we will attend to his affair.""
The graceful and stately daughter
of Castruccio listened to him with an
air of wonder and then gazed at me
for a moment with a regretful and half
incredulous look. 1t did not seem to
me possible that she could at once be-
lieve the word of this gross and sense
less official in the face of my love for
her and the devotion | had shown her,
but she seemed upon the point of do
ing so. She now turned away from me
coldly, and l knew at once that her de-
termination was taken.

nate dissension about our ancestors"
thought l, land because of her finding
that internal handkerchief in the pas
sageway."
''Sayest thou even so, worthy podes-
ta" said she at length. "And yet l
might have been convinced sooner of
the princes perfidy if l had believed
the evidences which have been thrust
upon me and had listened to the die
tates of reason. Ho, We burly men of
the watch, bind the villain hand and
foot and tie him fast in yonder chair!"
To say that l was shocked and
grieved and surprised beyond measure
at my Quondam inamorata's harsh
ness toward me does but poorly express
my feelings. The halberdierS of the
watch to whom she had given this per
emptory o%der at once produced cords
and secured me firmly to the chair as
she had directed.
"And now," she continued, "Messel

watch, follow me, every one of ye, and

ing and damnable evidences of the
! guilt and cruelty and bloodthirstiness
of this family of the Pazzi as will
cause ye to wish them presently exter
minated from the face of the EARTH"
With that she took the wax taper
and went along the secret passage, and
they all, without exception. followed
her, and when she had come to the en-
trance of the ominous chamber she
stood aside by the doorway and let the
whole score of them pass into the room
and l could see the whole proceeding
from the chair where l sat.

sembled group before her, 'is the most

" W sion, we found a score of
saddled and armored war
steeds standing there, some of them
being haltered to the pillars of the
porch and others held by lackeys or
squires, and the immense building was
lighted up from top to bottom, and
there was much noise of singing and
shouting within, as if great orgy
were in progress. To know what was
going on, bade Ippolita take the bri-
die while l got down and went to one
of the squires who were holding the
horses.
'Prithee, fellow" said I, ''tell me
what unusual thing is toward upon
this nlGat that the dukes palace should
contain such sounds of wassail and
such brilliancy of illumination and that
so vast multitude should throng the
streets of the city"
"Thou hast the appearance, friend,
of having lately come into the town,
and it may we'll be, therefore, that
thou hast not yet heard the news.
Know, then, that the Elevationists
have arisen it is now these two hours
since and that they have overthrown
the government, vanquished the dukes
guards and put the duke himself to
death, and, that thou mayest see that
l say sooth, cast thine eyes to the top
of the door of the palace, and thou
shalt see what thou shalt see.'
l looked in the direction which he
indicated and saw a decapitated head
with CORY locks stuck upon a pike at
the top of the archway. The eyes were
closed, the features pinched and the

cooperate, on particular day. This was
suggested by a travelling man named
Simms. who said ii had proved successful
In Minneapolis in aiding a public enter

TO this plan, although its feasibility was
not questioned. but other means were pro-
posed, and no exclusive plan will likely be
adopted until all the members of the asso-
citation have been heard from.
G.. w. Brown, who Is in charge of the
canvass for funds, said last night that the
spirit of the Merchants Association was
just what was needed In the present emer-

seeking the best means to assist it. The
merchants will work out plan, doubtless,
that will bring the largest results

are the first of the last s25. 900 to be raised
To-day they will mail a general appeal

who have subscribed well as to those
who have not. Those who have subscribed
will be asked to increase or double their
subscriptions rather than see the enter
prise fail and those who have not sub
scr.bec will be asked to be as public spir-
tied as those who have and return a sub
