Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-Unique
among all summer gatherings is the
mob conference" now in progress
here. The increase of mob spirit shown
by feuds, lynchings, riots, assassina-
tons and other lawless happenings
gives great Importance to this confer
ence. Among the speakers was John
Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ca, who
spoke on the mob spirit of the south"
He defended lynching as remedy for
the crime of rape, holding that though
lynching is crime, it is justified by
the crime which provokes it, and will
never be discontinued until that crime
is eliminated. The remedy for lynch
ing must be the elimination of the
crime of rape, and this, he maintained,
could be done only by the separation
of the two races in the United States.

Rockefeller interests are believed to
have Joined hands with Charles
Sweeny of Spokane in forming the
prospective Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing company, with a probable capital
of $50, 100000, to control Occur d'Alene
lead mines and to engage in the smelt-
ing business. The deal, which is now
being perfected in New York, is the
most important merger that has ever
been attempted in the mining indus
try since the tlotation of Amalgamated
Copper
The deal will give the new corpora.
ton direct control of four great Occur
d'Alene mining groups, which last year
alone made net profits of over $500, 900.
They are the Empire State-Idaho COM
pany, owning the Tiger-Poorman and
the Ella at Burke, Idaho, and the Last
Chance group and an interest in the
Skookum at Wardner; the Standard
company, owning the nine of the same
name at Mace, Idaho, and the Nam
moth at Mace.
In addition the new corpoI alton will
have the Everett smelter and the
Monte Cristo mine near Everett, con-
trolled by the Rockefeller interests.
The Monte Cristo is a low grade silver
lead property, which does not carry
enough of those metals to make it Of
much value, but it is rich in iron and
would make valuable fux for the
heavy. wet ores Of the Occur d'Alenes.
In addition the Everett smelter is now
extracting arsenic from the Monte
Cristo and furnishes nearly all of that
poison produced in the United States
The deal is for the mines to treat
their ores at the Everett smelter until
other plants are required.

A quaint ceremony was then carried
out. The master Of ceremonies knelt
three times before the pontiff, each

ed JaiIbreak.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Aug. 10.-A ne.
gro, Amos Jones, was hanged by a
mob here for shooting and MORALLY
wounding Jailer M. M. Sexton. Jones
and another negro named McElroy,
who were prisoners, seized Sexton, in
tending to break from the jail. Neil
roy threw Sexton down, and two white
youths, also prisoners, held him. The
negroes disarmed Sexton and Jones
shot him, inflicting three wounds that
are said to be fatal.
A crowd gathered outside the jail,
while deputy and several others en-.
tered and overpowered the other pri-
soners. In the confusion McElroy es-
capped from the jail. The crowd out
side decided to lynch Jones, Prom
inent men urged them to desist, and
the wounded jailer sent word to leave
the man unframed. The mob later
seized Sheriff Batson and tied him.
The fire brigade was requested to turn
out and help dispense the mob, but
refused.
The mob then broke into a window
of the Jail and cut the negro out OF
his cell with chisels. He was brought
out to the crowd of about 500 men and
boys, rope was tied around his neck
and he was dragged through the town
to the Gordon creek bridge, where he
was hung to telegraph pole and bull
lets fired into his body. 1t is thought
he was dead before he was hanged.

COLORADO TROOPS TO STAY.
Gov. Peabody Tells John Mitchell Striking
Miners Must He Orderly.

DENVER, Col, Dec. president Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers has had long
conference with Gov. Peabody at which
the situation in the Southern coal camps
was thoroughly discussed. Mr.. Mitchell
told the Governor there was no need OF
troops being sent there and said he would
guarantee that the police would not be
disturbed by striking miners. He said
he had sent 800 Of them to other districts
and would provide for the others while
the strike lasts. The Governor told him
Colorado must have coal and that when
ever anybody interfered with men now
at work in the mines he would send troops
there.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Dec. by procla-
nation of Col. Verdeckberg, commanding
the State militia here, all civil officers and
citizens are commanded to give up all arms
in their possession, and to such as are en-
titled to carry arms permits will be issued
hereafter. Houses are being searched for
guns stolen from the militia or held by
soldiers. There has been a great exodus
of strike agitators since the insurrection
proclamation, and the militia officers and
mine owners are pleased over the prospect
OF early restoration of law and order.

STRIKE LEADER WARNED.
Gov. Wells Tells De Molli the State Doesn't
Want Him.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 7.-Charles De
Molli, who was sent here by John Nit tchell
to direct the coal miners st rike, received
to-day from Gov. Wells stern warning
and an invitation to leave the State. De
Molli refused to go, and declared that he
would return to the strike region and make
fight to finish. Gov. Wells said to him:
II honestly believe that if there is much
further effort to secure recognition of the
union and to prolong this strike the senti-
ment in this State is such that it will only
be question of time before men from all
over this State will shoulder their rifles and
go down there and run the Italians out Of
the State. / think you are wrong in pur-
suing this matter further at the present
time I am satisfied that you can't win
here now. Do you not think it would be
better to withdraw now until spring at
least?'
De Mill returned to the mines tonight
He said he expected to be arrested there.

TIE FOURTH AVENUE TUNNEL.
state Railroad Commission II ep0rts That Its
Orders Have Been Carried Out.

Orders Have Been Carried Out.
ALBANY, Dec. THE State, Railroad
Commission gave out report to-day stating
the results OF inspections made during the
last five months Of conditions in the Fourth
avenue tunnel. with view of ascertaining
in what manner the orders of the commission
growing out Of the collision two years ago
have been carried out. These inspections,
the report says, have shown that the order
requiring trains to take at least five minutes
going through the tunnel has been rigidly
enforced, and also the boards order that
no engineer should take a train through
the tunnel alone until he had made twenty
five trips with an experienced man.
The board also finds that in compliance
with its orders signal lamps have been
increased in power, air brakes are regularly
inspected and monthly inspections are
made Of the roof OF the tunnel by engineers.
Little evidence Of bad effects from gases.
the report says, will probably exceed 225 900,
trains, and will probably increase, making
the operation Of the tunnel in the future
more difficult, especially with the con-
struction work going on. A new system Of
protection against fire has been put into
effect, one feature being specially equipped
engines kept in readiness at Mott Haven;
engines be kept at the Grand Central Sta
ton. All Of the signal towers are now
equipped with fire signals.
Fire Chief Purroys recommendations that
a six Inch standpipe be run through the
tunnel, that pull box be placed every
each opening have been submitted to the
railroad company. The board did not
recommend Chief Purroy's suggestion that
the tunnel be lighted.

CRESCENT CLUB DELAY BUILDING
Labor Unions Make the Project Too Risky
at Present

The unsettled conditions among the
labor unions is given as the chief reason
for the temporary abandonment of the
plans for the erection of the new club
house for the Crescent Athletic Club at
Clinton and Pierrepont streets. Brooklyn.
In a report made to the board of directors
recently the committee suggested that the
club would do better if the matter Of build
ing be laid over for year.
President Charles NJ. Bull of the board
of directors has issued a circular in which
he sets forth the reasons for the delay in
beginning the construction of the new house
on the Silliman property recently purchased
by the club. He says the directors feel
that the labor unions would not permit
the work to progress smoothly at this time.
Concerning the finances, he said the issue
of s25O,0OO in second mort gage bonds had
been taken up to large extent by the men,
bers and the club was in good condition
to undertake the work. More than one
half the issue has been subscribed for and
a good portion paid in.
1t was declared by members and officers
alike last night that the delay was only
temporary and would not last longer than
unsettled conditions exist in labor circles.

With plenty OF schnapps and some ora
tory the st. Nicholas Society celeb ated
it's sixty-eghth brit day and the :6oth
anniversary O the granting o. the charter
Of New Amsterdam by dining at Delmoni-
cos last night. Incidentally and all un-
knowingly, the society celebrated the
sixty-eighth birthday Of Gen Stewart l..
Woodford. who was one of the guests OF
honor.
The diners sat beneath streamers and
canopies Of the blue and orange Of Holland.
and between courses and after dinner
smoked pipes patterned after those the
old Dutch burghers used to smoke. AS
the coffee went around, the weathercock
which used to perch on the steeple Of the
Dutch church in Nassau street, near where
the Mutual Life Building is now, was borne
to the speakers table amid the shouts and
cheers of the diners. 1t has been in the
custody Of the st. Nicholas Society for
years.

Planten, Consul-General Of the Netherlands
to New York, and William H. MoElroy.
Mr.. Manning was asked to respond for the
patron saint OF the society. He didn't
say anything about st. Nicholas, but a good
deal about the encouraging signs Of the
times, one of which was that in these days
there is little or no irreligiop.
"A sure sign that the world is growing
better" said Mr.. Manning, is found in
the fact that nobody to-day would say
that he is an unbeliever"
r Fulton Cuttings toast was Our City"
He made an interesting address on archi-
lecture, ancient and modern, and said
that one reason why the city is not better
and greater is because the citizens have
little or no idealism.

exclaimed Mr.. Cutting, would permit the
erection OF building like the new Tombs
or permit the encroachment Of the County
Court House on City Hall Parkp'
Gen. Woodford's toast was Holland and
