Lynching in South Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., July 1.-The goy-
ernor received a telegram today from the
magistrate at Norway on the Seaboard,
in Orangeburg county, saying that a
mob had broken into the guard house
and taken Charley Evans, negro, out
and lynched him, afterwards Kidding
the body with bullets. Evans had been
arrested for assassinating John T. Phil
lips, Sunday night, while he was sitting
in his house. Three Others were arrested
with him, but only Evans was lynched.
He had very bad reputation. A re-
port reached here this morning that there
was rioting at Norway, but the governor
has received no confirmation of the story
and it is supposed to have originated in
the lynching.

TAMMANY HALL, which so often rides
upon the crests of waves that submerge
its enemies, every now and then is forced
TO seek storm cellars itself until some
cyclone, the outgrowth of hybrid politi-
cal connections, has passed away. The
old ship after having recently been
bufieted by one of these occasional dis
terbances, was found to have received
no material damage and was soon put
in commission again. 1t is now III
fighting trim and ready to ride upon the
storm. On Monday, while the celestial
batteries were making things lively in
New York; the wigwam was struck by
bolt. 1t was harmless, however, and
emitted green and blue light without
damaging any of the braves. 1t may
have been baptism of fire and an omen
of the triumph of Tammany through the
heat of the next battle for political
supremacy in New York and not sign
that it has in any way incurred the
wrath of Jove.

Rome, July 1.-The propaganda is extreme
ly reserved about the affair of Bishop Bona
cum, of Lincoln, Neb., who has been blamed
for certain actions taken by him in connection
with the fight between Father Murphy and
Pastor Tecumseh, Of his diocese. Cardinal
Gotti, the project Of the propaganda, will
probably summon Bishop Bonaeum to Rome
under the lad limina" pretext. II is expected
the attacks against the bishop will then cease.
The propaganda has lately received com
plants against Bishop Bonacum from official
American authorities, in addition to the

AT THE end of the current fiscal year,
yesterday, the surplus in the U. 5.
Treasury was over fifty-two millions OF
dollars. Considering the reduction OF
internal revenue taxation year ago,
which caused considerable decrease in
the revenues of the government, this
shows, Notwithstanding the large APP
preparations made by the last Congress,
that fifty-two millions of dollars more
than was required to conduct the govern
merit, even extravagantly administered,
was extorted from the people by means
of excessive taxes and tariffs. The cash
balance in the Treasury now is about
1880, 600, 900. This is almost the high
est mark ever reached in the history of
the country. OF this cash balance,
which is nominally in the vaults of the
United States Treasury, over SAB, OOO,-
600 is on deposit in the name of the
government in national banks all over
the country.

In THE Police Court of Charlottesville
yesterday that city was fined for permit
ting dog, belonging to it, to roam the
streets without muzzle, as required by
arecent law ofthe city, the justice express
sing his determination to see that the
city should enforce its own laws. This
is but right and proper, but it might be
asked with propriety, How long would
the Alexandria city treasury hold out
if the city were fined every time it violat-
ed its own ordinances or permitted
Others to do so? Laws now on the statute
books which were passed for the preser-
walton of the health and comfort of the
citizens are openly violated daily and the
violators care not rap for anybody but

THE KILLING of State Comptroller K.
NJ. Love by W. G. Hill in Austin,
Texas, yesterday tells its own story.
Hill had been deposed by Love this
proved upon the formers mind until he
became frenzied and he determined to
kill the comptroller and end his own life
with laudanum. He vas, however,
saved from suicide after assassinating
Loyo by the accidental discharge of his
own pistol which ended his life in a
few hours. A letter left by Hill showed
the venom he had had in his heart for
his former superior. Whether the latter
had Justly incurred Hills wrath is not
clear, but the subordinate may have
borne patiently many things which VIII
now be buried in the grave with the re-
mains of the two men. Occasionally
snch occurrences as the Austin tragedy
startIe the world. One shocked The city
of Washington but year or two ago
when a subordinate in the Treasury De-
partment assassinated his superior and
ended his own life with the same pistol
In the last instance it did not require a
penetrating mind to read between the
lines and see that the murderer had been
smartiug for long time under the Off
cial whip. Such instances should be a
reminder to those in brief or perpetual
authority to respect the feelings of all
with whom they have to deal.

MINE DISASTER.

The worst coal mine disaster in the
history Of Wyoming occurred in Mine
No. /. of the Union Pacific Coal Com
pany, at Hanna, yesterday at II O'Clock,
when terrific explosion occurred. Two
hundred men were working in the mine
at the time. The explosion set fire to
the mine. A; conservative estimate
places the number Of dead at l75. The
mine is ventilated and provided with
many avenues of escape, and Superin-
tendent E. S. Brooks at once set to work
diligently with a large force of men to
rescue the imprisoned miners and ex-
tinguish the raging flames. At O clock
the party of rescuers reached the surface
with the mangled bodies of 20 miners,
who were taken out of the mines by the
rear shaft or manhole. Some of the men
were alive when found, but many will
die. Those who can talk say that the
men who were working farther On in the
mine are probably dead. The explosion
was caused by a man going into con-
demned entrance of the mine. Guam
titles of gas had evidently accumulated,
for tremendous explosion occurred the
moment the gas touched the miners
lamp. Most of the entombed miners are
believed 10 be ON the sixth level. So
far the rescuing party has been able to
only penetrate as far as the fourth level.

WAGES AT THE NAVY YARD.-The
board of wages which fixes the rates of
compensation paid to employees at the
Washington navy yard yesterday filed
its report, which is approved by Secre-
tary Moody. The schedules fixed are to
continue for the six months following
July 1, 1908. In several instances the
schedule is an increase upon the rates
paid during the past six months, notably
in the case of machiDists, patternmakers
and modelmakers, and in several other
skilled trades. The wages of the
molders who applied for an increase are
not increased. In his letter of approval
Secretary Moody says that the great
body of workmen at the yard are paid as
high wages as corresponding, workmen
in private employment, but he recon-
mends giving higher wages to especially
skilled and efficient men.

Two BROTHERS KLLED.-Details

Two BROTHERS KILLED. "Details
have been received from Coaldale, a
mining town in Mercer county, w. Va,
of bloody ARRAY near that village, in
which Andrew G.. Davidson, 40 years
old, and his brother, Charles Davidson,
aged AZ, were shot and killed by James
Perdue, son of one of the most promi-
nent men in that county. James Bell,
young farmer, while under the in.
1uence of whisky, abused John A. Per-
due, n county school commissioner.
James Perdue, his son, resented the
abuse by giving Bell sound thrashing.
The Perdues went to their home nearby
and thought tfe trouble at an end, but
later Charles Davidson and Andrew G.
Davidson, two brothers, and brother-in-
law Of James Bell, went to the home Of
the Perdues and threatened to drag
young Perdue out dead or alive. The
DavidsOns we're warned to leave the
premises, but instead of doing so con-
tinued to advance, whereupOn James
Perdue went in the yard. A general
fight followed, and, finding he was be-
ing cornered, young Perdue drew a
revolver and fired a bullet into Andrew
DayidsOn's breast. The bali passed
through the body, inAicting fatal
wound. Charles Davidson struck Per-
due on the head with stick, stunning
him. As Perdue staggered Charles
Davidson grabbed his pistol, but before
he could use it young Perdue regained
his strength, and, drawing a second
pistol, shot Charles Davidson through
the head and in the abdomen. David
son staggered to the fence and fell dead.
Immediately after the shooting young
Perdue fed and has not been captured.
