LAWLESSNESS IN KENTUCKY.
by White Men and Three Others
Horribly Beaten.

Paducah, KY, March 20.-Great ex-
element prevails at Madrid Bend,
KY. forty miles below Hickman on the
Tennessee line. Two negroes were
killed by white men and three were
horribly and probably fatally
beaten. Elijah Drake, colored,
it is said, was caught stealing chick
ems and was attacked by enraged
whites, being driven into the Missis-
sippi river and shot dead. The body
loated to shore and the white men
made another negro tie a rope round
the body and pull it out to deep wa
ter.
The white men then attacked four
other negroes living in the neighbour
hood, who, it is claimed, were impli-
Gated. The negroes showed fight, and
in the melee that followed Jim Start,
a negro, was shot and killed. The
other three negroes, whose names are
not known, were then almost beaten
to death. There is fear of further
trouble, and the law-abiding citizens
have asked the Governor to offer a
reward for the apprehension and pun
ishment of the murderers.

MIR. BelIamy of North Carolina De-
plOres the Efforts of Republicans
to Sow the Seeds o. DiscOrd.
Washington, March 20.-The House
to-day made very slow progress on
the river and harbor bill. disposing of
only thirty pages and leaving fifty
pages still to be considered. The river
and harbor committee again to-day
succeeded in defeating every amend
ment offered.
Mr.. Bellamy's amendment to APP
propriate s25O,OOO for the Cape Fear
river above Wilmington was lost.
In the course of his remarks upon
the amendment, Mr.. Bellamy referred
briefly to the prospective investiga-
ton of Southern election laws. He
deprecated it as an attempt to re-
vive sectional strife and ill-feeling.
The South had reached a solution of
it's difficulties after many years, when
this proposition was advanced which
would undo all that had been accom-
plished toward accomplishing peace
and prosperity. The South was sick
and tired of sectional strife. Her peo-
pie loved the Union and were proud
of its honor and achievements. He
asserted that for sinister purposes
some members on the other side were
again sowing the seeds of discord and
he appealed to the conservative, fair
minded men of the Republican party
to vote down a proposition fraught
with so much evil to the South.
Mr.. Gambler of Mississippi made a
fervent but unsuccessful appeal for
the Improvement of the Tombigbee in
his state. His speech established him
as not unworthy successor of "Pri-
vate' John Allen, who long enjoyed
the reputation of the wit of the
house I"

BLAZE IN PIANO FACTORY.
Hartman. Peck & Co. Suffer 5000, 900

New York. March 2O.-Hardman,
Peck & Co., piano manufacturers, suf-
fered loss of $SOO,OO or possibly more.
by the destruction tonight by fire of
their plant located at West Forty
eighth street and the North river.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the packing room, which is in
the three-story part of the big factory.
There it quickly spread throughout the
entire building. The roof of the build
ing fell in soon after and gave rise to
a report that there had been an explo-
sion. Just west of the three-story
building, which was about 10 feet in
length, and right on the river front,
stood frame stable. On the roof of
this were a number of firemen. When
the walls fell a lot of debris fell on
the roof of the stable, injuring one
fireman and one spectator.
From the first mentioned building
the got into the firms five-story struc-
ture and wrecked the upper portion
of it. The loss was large because of
the valuable machinery and woods in

The AMERICAN WAY

IMPERIAL TOBACCO COMPANY'S Of
FER OUTCOME.

The American Company Will Give
Its Entire Net Profit and e2OO,OOO

10000 kilograms Sent Out Yester-
day Announcing This OHer-The
British Tobacco Trade AstOunded
at This Evidence of American En-
terprise-Its Autobiography Role
Gains IL Many Adherents.
London, March 20.-Ogden's Nimit-
ed, as the local representatives
of the American Tobacco Company, to-
day gave notice of their intention to
give their entire net profit and $780,
900 yearly for the next four years as
a bonus to their customers.
This is the American reply to the
Imperial Tobacco Company's attempt
to boycott American goods. In cir
cular Ogden's Qimited) point out that
the Imperial Tobacco Company's offer
to distribute bonus amounting to
$4,000 cannot be compared with the
bonus the retailers will receive If they
continue to trade with the American
amalgamation.
The American Tobacco Company's
bonus scheme is the sensation of the
day in the tobacco world of Great
Britain. Unparalleled "Stupen-
dous, - Amazing" are few of the adj
jectiyes applied to this bombshell. The
anti monopoly role assumed by the
American side has brought them the
adherence of a number of influential
retailers who were opposed to the I'M
perial Tobacco Companys boycott and
already one firm, owning many stores
in the metropolis, has posted notices of
it's refusal to exclude American goods
and of it's intention to discontinue sell
ing Imperial brands.
Ogden's Limited) to-day sent out
10000 kilograms from their Liverpool
headquarters, carrying the announce
ment of their offer to every tobacco
tradesman in England. The fact that
Ogdens business in 1900 amounted to
nearly e966000, indicates the enormity
of the sum they are expected to ex-
pend in bonuses.
The London tobacconists immedi-
ately called a meeting for tomorrow
to consider their future action.

from London, March IS, the Imperial

TO BE TRIED FOR HERESY.
A Kansas Methodist Minister Has
Decidedly Peculiar Views.

Decidedly Peculiar Views.
Mcpherson, Kan, March 2O.--Rev.
Granville Louther. D. D., pastor of a
local church. was served with papers
at a Methodist Episcopal conference
here to-day, charging him with heresy,
and setting forth that he would be
tried at Arkansas City. Kan, March
&c. Rev. Mr.. Louther is charged with
being guilty of disseminating doc
trines contrary to and subversive of
the doctrines of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church." and it is alleged that he
is atheistic and evolutionistic.
Mr.. Louther is charged with making
and teaching the following doctrines,
which are set down as in violation of
the confession of faith and the cate
chism:
THAT the serpent who talked to Eve
was a man, one of the race to which
she and Adam belonged: that he had
not come into a consciousness of God,
therefore was classed with the beasts,
and that there were other inhabitants
or members of the race; If not, how
did Cain find his wife in the land of
Nod, where none of Adams children
except Cain had gone? II not whence
came the daughters of men whom the
sons of Cod took for their wives2 The
reasonable Interpretation is that the
descendants of Adam were called sons
of God because, having entered into a
conscious knowledge of God, they
would claim him as their creator and
worship him. The others, not knowing
God, were called sons and daughters
of men.
THAT Adam and Eve, as first ere
ated. had no perception of their obli-
cations of obedience: that in eating
of the fruit of the. tree of good and
evil, they had done nothing except
what others about them were doing
and what they themselves had former
ly done, that is live like beasts, but
they had a higher vision of spiritual
things than formerly, and consequent
ly they felt guilt.
THAT Christ died for men to show
men how to die for man; that this
willingness to die for man should be
multiplied by exactly the number of
disciples of Christ and that the state
ment can never be completed until
this idea prevails"

Pennsylvania Miners in Convention
Adopt Resolutions.


Adopt Resolutions.
Shamokin, Pa, March 20.-The most
important feature of to-day's session
of the convention of Districts Nos. /,
and 9, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, was the adoption at the afternoon
session of several resolutions. These
were the result of various alleged
grievances announced in the convention
by the different delegations and were
presented by the committee on resolu-
tions. Most of them were of sectional
rather than general interest, but their
tone was not the less emphatic. The
first resolution adopted demanded an
eight-hour working day in all the col
lieries of the anthracite region.
President Thomas Barrett and Secre-
tary James Mullahy of the Stationary
Firemens Union came from Wilkes
barre to-day and appeared before the
convention with an appeal for the CO.
operation of the Mine Workers Union
in the efforts of the firemen to secure
an eight-hour day. The convention
took no action in the matter.
