Negro Leader Taken to Task for
His Methods.

New York. Sept. 22.-BookerT. Wash
ington and his methods have been crit
icized by the local Presbytry In its
weekly meeting, says dispatch from
Philadelphia. The question was
brought up through the report Of the
Freedmans committee of which the
Rev. j. Calvin Meade is chairman.
The report gave credit TO Washing
tons influence for the increase Of inter-
est in the board. 1t deplored the an
imal trait in the negro, which is so
prominent. "and continued: "Yit 1t Is
to be questioned whether we should not

ton which the white man Of social
standing is an adept
1t urges the churches to rise above
prejudice and devote all energies to-
ward dealing with the negro problem,
and deplored any mob violence.
Immediately after the reading, DR..

A VERY PECULIAR MURDER
Posion Injected HypodermiealIy
in Order to Rob Body.

New York, Sept. GA case of muir
der by the injection Of poison by means
OF a hypodermic syringe is reported.
says London dispatch to the Herald,
by the Moscow correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who writes that an unpleas-
ant smell proceed ing from wicker
basket which arrived as luggage at the
Brest railway station in Moscow, and
for which no claimant appeared caus-
ed an examination to be made, when
the body Of a well dressed man was
found.
An examination showed that death
had resulted through the injection of
poison under the skin by means Of a
syringe. Inquiries were instituted
which proved that the murdered man
was a well-to-do land owner named
Martin Tomashesky. The perpetrators
Of the crime have been discovered.
The chain of evidence is so complete
that they have admitted their guilt.
The circumstances under which the
deed was committed are of highly sen
sational character.
Tomashesky had no occupation and
resided at a hotel. He was passion
ately fond OF card playing and visited
a club every night, where he played for
heavy stakes and was as a rule very
fortunate. On the day of the murder
his cousin called at the hotel and ask
ed him TO come to his mothers hsuse
10 play cards with two other friends of
the family. Then at given signal he
was seized, his mouth covered so that
he could not cry for assistance and the
poison was injected under the skin of
the forehead. The three men then
watched the effects of the poison for
about half an hour. at the same time
taking his money from his pockets,
which they divided among themselves.
After their victim died they placed
the body in a basket and one of the
men tied piece of cord tightly around
the throat to make sure. as he says,
that there could be no further trouble
with the murdered man.
The perpetrators Of the crime were
confident that their social positions
would prevent any suspicion falling on
them. 1t was only after the strong
chain of evidence had been completed
that they confessed.
