, before Justice d. Nj. Miller here yesterday
over to next term of court under a bond
of $500. which he failed to give, hence
the Imprisonment. The evidence brought
out at the trial was most damaging to
Gable and was of such nature as to arouse
the highest indignation of the entire com
munity and the fact that a very sensa-
tional tragedy has thus far been averted
is attributable TO the cool heads and
sound judgment of the citizens here who
are willing that the law shall have It's
course.
1t Is yet regarded as dangerous tor
Gable to appear in certain parts OF this
place or Spencer, where the barbarity oc-
Cured. In the trial witnesses testified
that Gable forced his wife, at the point
Of a pistol, to place her head between his
knees, where he held her and beat the
blood from the bare skin. It was further
shown that he then forced her to swear
that she would never tell the matter to
anyone. This occurred In their own home.

another room to get another pistol with
which he told her he would kill her.
Gable has been notified by the Southern
Railway, for whom he worked as a freight
conductor, that his services will no longer
be needed. Nothing has so touched and
aroused the Indignation of this community
for years.

a Meeting on the Twenty-ihird Of

The number of negro State Normals
will be reduced.
The State Board of Education met yes
terday and while this was decided on
nothing has been given out officially.
1t is understood that the Board was a
tie on the question of consolidating or
not consolidating, and that Lieutenant
Governor Turner was called to Raleigh
to unlock" the deadlock"
He was here yesterday and while all
the members OF the Board were not pres
ent Lieutenant-GoVernor Turner settled
the matter by casting his vote for con-
solidation, by reducing the number of
colored Normals from seven to four.
Lieutsnant-Governor Turner frankly
stated his reasons for his vote in the
matter. These are that the State Super
intendent of Public instruction is in favor
of consolidation, and that as this is a mat
ter connected with the educational de
partment of the State over which Super3n-
tendent Joyner presideS his views of the
matter should be considered. Besides this
the State Board of Examiners fayors con
Solidation.
The normals viii be reduced from seven
TO four, but which of these are to be Sc
lected is not yet definitely fixed. The
normals are situated at Winston. Sails
bury. F%ranklinton, Fayetteville, Plymouth,
Elizabeth City and Goldsboro, and which
places are to be dropped out IS the ques-
ton.
From a review of the case it seems prac-
tically certain that Winston and Eliza
beth City will be retained. and there is an
opinion that the other two will be Fay
etteville and F~ranklinton, all these to be
retained on account of their location. 1t
is considered safe to say that the Ply
mouth Normal viii be abandoned and that
there will be a sharp fight between Colds
borO and Fayetteville for a place. The
proximity of Winston and Salisbury op-
crates so that one of these is certain to
go and Franklinton's favorable position,
apart from the other normals, is where its
strength lies. In this opinion no calcula-
ton is made upon the work done by these
normals.
The Board will meet again on the TWEEN
ty-third of July and at that time the mat
ter viii be closed up and the uneasy Will

AGAIN NIGHT HAS FALLEN
And in Darkness Such as Hid His Face
From His Helpless Victim, Osborne
is Halted on His Journey to Take
One Darker From Which There is
No Return.

Charlotte, N. c., July 3.-John Osborne,
the negro charged with criminally assault
ing Mrs. Lizzie Wentz, in Union county,
Saturday night, paid the penalty with
his life: Last night he was taken from
the officers who were conveying him to
the Union county jail and lynched at a
point about two miles from Indian Trail,
a station on the Carolina Central railroad.
The lynching party was composed of
several hundred people, and the two men
who had charge of the prisoner were
easily o~ver-powered. Osborne received a
preliminary hearing during the afternoon
and was committed to jail to await the
next term OF Union county Superior court.
1t IS said that the negro confessed to the
crime before he was lynched.
After the evidence had been concluded
Esquire Broom committed him to jail
without bond. Messrs. Frank kezziah
and Luke Horton were d~eputized to take
the prisoner to Monroe and lodge him IN
Jail.
Darkness had now set in and Messrs.
NCAHioh anu" I1oItOH tlOuShJ II DttItI "
drive to Indian Trail, a distance of about
three miles. and board the eastbound Sea-
board Air Line train. Accordingly they
placed the negro after securely binding
him with ropes in a buggy and started
to the station.
After they had Travelled about two miles
Of the distance, and when they We're In
the midst of u body of dense woodland.
they We're halted by several men, who
suddenly stepped out into the road from
behind trees.
Mr.. Kezziah, who was driving, demur
red, but before he had spoken half a
dozen words he~wds geized and dragged
from the buggy by two stalWart men,
At this juntture the road was filled with
men, and~When Mr.. kezziah fired a pistol
at~ttr man who had taken him from She
buggy. a number of shots hummed from
the crowd, which appeared to number
several hundred men.
When Mr.. Horton came to the assistance
of Mr.. Kezziah. the negro had been pulled
from the buggy and seized by several
men.
The community, OF course, is greatly
stirred up by the brutal crime and the
lynching which followed, and while there
is regret that the county of Union has
been stained by a lynching, not a voice
has been raised in protest against TIE
swift vengeance which was visited upon
the negro brute.
Even the people of Osborne's own race
are a unit IN affirming that the victim OF
the mob's fury got no more than his just
deserts.
Some of the persons most active Ill

traitor of the crime We're negroes. several
of whom told Osborne that he ought tc
pay the penalty of death for his crime.
One of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution was a negro woman who lives
on Mrs. Wentz's farm, and after telling
Osborne that he deserved to be lynched,
she charged him with attempting the
same crime on a negro woman a short
time ago.
