A Paris policeman who had boarded
an omnibus to caution the driver
against smoking on his box was
promptly "coIlarcd" by the conductor
for his fare. In vain the policeman pro
tested his duty. He had no money, and
when he appealed to the passengers to
lend him the fare they one and all re-
fused. The conductor threatened to re-
port the officer for riding without pay
ing his fare. At last the policeman
ended Il somewhat lively alteration by
calling another officer and borrowing
the fare from him in order to pay the
conductor and alight.-Boston Globe,

MOB LYNCHED NEGRO
 AT LAKE VILLAGE.
Doors of Jail Battered Down at Noon day by Lynchers- Negroes Had Killed Frank Anderson and
 Wounded Vinson.

Lake Village, Nov. 3.--Henry John son, colored, was taken from jail here at noon today by mob and hanged in the center of town. The lynching was the result of shooting affray which occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning in Joe Frame's saloon between negroes on one side and whites on the other. One white man, Frank Anderson, was killed and another, Baldy Vinson, well known lawyer of Little Rock, was wounded, but not seriously. Several others were wounded.
 The trouble early this morning is said to have been precipitated by the negro walters i'll the saloon. Ander- son is reported to have resented the action of some of the nes.oes in throwing beer around the place. Pro- fane language was used by some of the negroes and when Anderson pro- tested it appears that Ed Coleman, a negro, pulled pistol and began shooting. A fusilade followed and when the firing ceased it was found that Anderson had been shot dead, with several bullets in his body; that Baldy Vinson was shot in two places, both flesh wounds, and that Joe Frame was shot in the foot. Of the negroes engaged in the affray it was found that Ella Mcdowell had been shot, the ball entering her back and lodged in the breast.
 Ed Coleman, the negro who started the shooting, fled immediately. A

TAMMANY CARRIES NEW TORY
George B. Mcclellan Elected Over Seth Low by Seventy Thousand Plurality -Devery Made
 Poor Showing.

New York, Nov. 3.-After remark able campaign in which there were united against him nearly all of the newspapers and practically every minister of religion in the city, George B. Mcclellan, son of the civil war general, was today elected third mayor of Greater New York over Seth Low, fusionist, the present mayor, by the large plurality of about 70 .OO0.
 Edward M. Grout was elected comp troller and Chas. V. Fornes president of the board of aldermen. These two men were originally on the fusion ticket and were endorsed by Tam many, whereupon the fusionists took their names from the Low ballots and nominated other candidates.
 The surprise was the low vote for Wm. s. Devery, former chief of police, who ran on an independent ticket, was given practically no support.
 The result shows a tremendous change of public sentiment since Mayor Lows election two years ago, when he VIC n by 31,523. Low carried only one borough, Richmond, by about 200 votes.
 The result was known early and at S:15 Mayor Low sent this telegram of congratulation to Col Mcclellan:
 ''l congratulate you on your elec- tion. If I can be of service to you pray command me.
 (Signed) "SETH Low"

CARD OF THANKS.

The very beautiful vase presented to me in the name of the Arkansas di- vision U. D. 0. in the parlors of the Arlington hotel, Hot Springs, after the convention had adjourned Friday evening came after some of those persons instrumental in this kind act had gone.
 I feel that since cannot take each one by the hand and express my sin cere appreciation of their love and kindness, that must resort to this method of saying how overwhelmed with gratitude am.
 Not alone for this tangible express sion from these Daughters of the Confederacy, nor the usual "rising vote of thanks" but in the numerous ways shown to me during this con vention of their great appreciation of my small service rendered during the past year.
 Though I reluctantly take up this work again on account of lack of time, their unanimous desire to have me do so pleased me very much.
 With much appreciation, most obe- diently, MRS. CHARLES H. VILLAINS, Recording Secretary, Ark. Div, U.

NEGRO SHOT BY
 DEPUTY RICHARDSON.
Ben Douglass Shot Through Shoulder By Officer Richardson When Re- sisting Arrest Two Stories
 of the Shooting.

About II o'clock Tuesday night Officer H. 0. Huffman and Deputy V. G. Richardson were called to the negro quarters on Upper Front street by disturbance, which Ben Douglass, a negro who runs the pool room ad- joining the O'Neal saloon, says was caused by some one breaking out the glass in his front door.
 Douglass had fired boy who worked for him, thinking the latter responsible for the broken glass, and was doing some loud talking when the officers came up and started to place him under arrest. Nothing was done at this time, however, and the officers returned about twelve.
 Huffman states that Louis Skates made move to resist the officers, whereupon Richardson covered him with gun and when Douglass made pass as if to resist, Richardson open ed fire upon him, one bullet entering the left shoulder and passed out through the arm. Chas. Andrews, a negro bystander, says Richardson be- gan shooting before resistance was made. Douglass is not known to have carried weapon, though he was not searched.
 The physician in attendance upon Douglass says his injury will not prove fatal.

In three months S45 persons have been
