ia Observation-Disclosures Point
to Murder.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-With deep gashes
about her head and her fingers lacerat-
eel in manner that indicated she had
engaged in desperate struggle, the
body of Miss Celia Conrad, also known
in the neighborhood of her home as
Mary Connors and Mary Nichols, was
found in her rooms at 231 West Ran
dolph street shortly after five o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. From the appear
ance of the remains the woman had
been dead several hours, and the DO
lice think she was murdered some time
Monday night. William Bockman. who,
the police say, is an engineer at the
Douglas park pavilion and friend of
the dead woman, is being detained at
the Desplaines street police station
pending an investigation. There is no
evidence yet found which connects him
with the murder. Thomas Barry, an
other man known in the ghborhoo
is also being sought by the police.

IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.
Annual Report of Commissioner Sar-
Ecnt--TOtal Number of Arrivals
Is Gas, 543.

Washington, Oct. 20.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner Of immgra-
ton shows that of the 64S,743 immi-
grants who arrived in the United Stat es
during the last fiscal year 10000 were
males and 1924 females. OF the ell
tire number of arrivals Italy supplied
1880. an increase of 42,379 over the
number for 1901; Austria Hungary,
171.9S9, an increase of $500, and Rus
STA, 107,347, an increase of $4,000. Most
European countries showed an in
crease. but there was falling off in
the arrivals from Ireland amounting
to ,423, the total from that country
being 29,13s. The figures concerning
Asiatic immigration show a decrease
from China of $40, the total being $40,
an increase from Japan of 9,0Ol, the
total being 1870, or 40 per cent. OF
the entire number arriving 1872
were unable to read or write, but a.
o63 were under IA years of age. Com
menting upon this circumstance Com
missioner Sargent says:
"Itcan be roughly estimated from the
foregoing figures how effective in ex-
GLIDING aliens would be a reading test
such as that proposed during the re-
cent session of congress, which would
not be applied to children under Is
and adults over 5O.'
The total number of aliens refused
permission to land was 4,974, or about
two-thirds of one per cent. of the total
arrivals. OF these 3,944 were paupers,
700 had loathsome diseases, were
convicts and 275 contracted laborers.

COAL PRODUCTION.
1t Will BE Several Months Before the
Normal Output of Mines
Ii Reached

Philadelphia, Oct. 22.-It is not like
ly that the normal production of coal
will be mined for several months. Of
fcials of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal & Iron company estimate pro-
duction of $4,000 tons next week and
100000 tons the following week. The
companies daily output under normal
conditions is 10000 tons. An official
of the company said: "The total out
put for all districts, taken on an av-
erage, is approximately 100000 tons
per month. A state of idleness at the
mines for five months means a short
age in the supply of 22,5oo,ooo tons,
and it will take several months before
this can be regained under the most
favorable circumstances"

HANGMAN is BALKED.
Mob at HemDstead, Tex, Lynches Two
Negroes After They Had Been
Tried md Convicted,

Hampstead, Tex, Oct 22.-After be-
ing tried i'll legal form and procedure
for criminal assault and murder and
given the death penalty in each case,
jim Wesley and Reddick Barton, ne.
groes, were late Tuesday afternoon
taken from the authorities of this
city and lynched in the public square
by an Infatuated mob. The district
judge on Monday asked the governor
for militia to accompany the negroes
here from the Jail at Houston, where
they were safe. At the request of a
large number of citizens of Hemp
stead, who, it is said, signed written
promise to aid the authorities in pre-
venting any mob law, Judge Thomp-
son Tuesday morning countermanded
his request and the troops did not ac-
company the negroes.
Barton was first tried. He pleaded
guilty to criminal assault and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
63, Sunday, October ~. The juries in
each case, on which were several ne
groes, promptly returned verdicts as
sessing the death penalty. During the
afternoon Wesley was put on trial. He
pleaded guilty to assault and then to
the murder charge. While his trial
was proceeding mob broke into the
court room and attempted to take him,
1T having been ascertained that the
sheriff had asked for troops. The mob
was dispersed, however, and the trial
proceeded, the state putting through
its testimony hurriedly in corrobora-
ton of the plea Of guilty. Both juries
assessed the death penalty.
The officers Of the court sat about
the room at the conclusion of the trial,
awaiting the coming of the militia,
when there was a sudden movement on
the part OF severalme in the room; the
sheriff was overpowered and Wesley
was taken in possession by the mob
and hurried away. Another portion of
the mob, while this was going on, at
tackled the JAIL where Barton had been
taken when his trial was over, and the
prisoner was surrendered TO them
without a struggle. The two prison.
ers were hustled to the public square
and there executed by hanging.
Neither of them had been sentenced,
although District Judge Thompson had
positively refused to permit them to
waive the 80 days OF grace allowed
them by law. The suggestion to burn
the negroes met with small favor. 1t
was the general desire that they die
quickly. They are hanging 10 the arm
of a telephone pole, wheIe only last
month another negro murderer had
been strung up by mob.
The town is quiet: Sheriff Lipscomb
was badly injured i'll the back by the
rough treatment of the mob. During
the first rush shot was accidentally
fired and Sheriff Sparks, of Lee county.
was wounded in the stomach, though
not seriously. The governor was in
formed of the lynching, but has yet had
nothing to say.

Killed in a Riot at Lit
Teton, Ala.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 2O.-Three
white men and eight negroes have
been killed in race riots at Littleto on,
Ala, according to reports received
here. The negroes are said to have
taken possession of the town after the

selves in strong position. They have
captured powder magazine belong
ing to coal company. In response to
an appeal from Littleton, which is q
small town IS miles southwest of this
city, Sheriff Andrew w. Burgin, ac-
companied by ten deputies, started
for that place at II p. m. on special
train. The riot is said to have been
caused by crowd of negroes attack
ing white woman. AS soon as the
white residents of the town learned
of the assault they began search for
the miscreants. The negroes refused
to deliver the woman's assailants, and
armed themselves to protect their
leaders. When the whites came up
the negroes opened fire, and the Off
GERS returned the volley, the exchange
resulting in IL fatalities. Among the
whites reported killed are Joseph
Thompson and Ira Creel.
