HER ESCAPE MAS A MIRACLE
MRS. JOHNS PLUNGED PLUNGED
+, 800 FEET INTO cREvAssE.
Was Discovered by Rescuing Party
and Her Recovery Was Thrilling
She Is Fashionable Lady Of New
York City-Lodged All Night on
Two Foot Ledge.

Yosemite Valley, CAL, July 16.-
After a plunge of 300 feet into a Gre
vase thousands of feet in depth, Mrs.
A. A. Johns, we'll known in fashionable
circles Of New York city, had an
escape from death that borders on the
miraculous. She hung for hours on a
two foot ledge, in an exhausted condi-
ton. There she was discovered by the
rescue party, and the manner of her
rescue was another thrilling adventure,
where men risked life and limb carry
ing the woman over crevasses that
ordinarily the most skillful guide
would not traverse by himself. Mrs.
Johns husband is in New York.
Mrs. Johns was missing "a hours
before being discovered. The relief
party found Mrs. Johns position to be
critical in the extreme A closer ex-
animation showed that her escape
from frightful death had been moth
ing less than miraculous. She had
fallen distance of 300 feet from the
rim Of the crevasse walls and had par
TALLY stayed her fall by catching at
juniper bushes and scrub cedar trees
through whose branches she had
plunged. When the rope had been
lowered Mr.. Potter descended to ex-
anime the ground and determine the
best course to pursue in getting Mrs.
Johns from her perilous position.
There, lodged upon two foot ledge,
with her clothing torn to fragments
and her flesh stratched and bruised, lay
Mrs. Johns, weak from exhaustion and
lack of food and benumbed by the
frosty chill of the night.
With difficulty the rope was secure
ly tied around Mrs. Johns waist and
an effort made to hoist her to the rim
above. This attempt proved futile be-
cause OF Mrs. Johns weight.
BY leaning over the abrupt precipice
Mr.. Potter could discern another and
larger ledge 100 feet below, from
which was sheer drop of hundreds of
feet. He determined to try this plan
d rescue. Giving the order to those
above to lower the rope, Mr.. Potter
swung the inanimate form Of Mrs.
Iohns out over the tiny strip of rock
Upon which she had braced herself
or Is hours and into the chasm be-
heath. BY swinging the rope to and
no Mr.. Potter was able to lodge the
BODY OF Mrs. Johns upon the larger
edge and then descended himself
calling to one Of the mountain
'uldes above. Mr.. Potter had him de-
cend the rope to the ledge upon which
III three were now resting. Then the
wo picked up Mrs. Johns and together
hey made their difficult way around
dangerous Lodges and over yawnine
'reclpices beneath until, finally worn
ut and exhausted, they reached the
i'm above once more.

TRA3E REPORT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review of
Trade says: Business responds to i'm.
proved conditions. Distribution of
merchandise is accelerated by more
seasonable weather and fewer labor
controversies, while the wholesale and
jobbing trade, especially at the inter-
Tor, shows the encouraging effect of
brighter agricultural prospects. There
is the customary excessive demand for
farm hands. Receipts of holiday traf-
fic and trade in holiday goods indicate
no d1minution in purchasing power,
and semiannual inventories show a
more gratifying situation than expect
ed. There is less than the usual mid
summer idleness in manufacturing. ex-
cept in the cotton industry. Commod-
1ty prices advanced slightly during
June, Dun's index number on July 1
being $99,456, compared with $9S,936
month earlier. A decline of "a
per cent is recorded in comparison
with July, 1902, chiefly in articles OF
food. Railway earnings for June are
lS.1 per cent larger than last year and
25.3 in excess of 1901.

MOST HORRIBLE DEATH.
Negro Paid for His Assault on White

Negro Paid for His Assault on White
Girl.
Wheeling, W. Wa special to the
Register from Bluefields says: The
little town Of Devon, Mingo county,
was the scene recently of the assault
ing Of little IA year old girl by a
negro, followed by his subsequent
lynching by an enraged mob number
ing over 200 men. The little girl was
caught a short distance from her home
by the negro and carried to a neigh
boring wood, where her body was tied
to tree, bound and gagged. Her
absence was noticed by the neighbors,
who Immediately formed themselves
into a searching party. She was found
In an almost dying condition, but was
able to tell to the horror stricken
searchers the story. Wild were the
cries for vengeance when the little
girls story was heard, but after a con-
sultation it was decided to lay in wait
for the fiend.
In short time he appeared and
was just renewing his assault upon
the helpless child when the entire mob
Of concealed searchers emerged and
made for him. He would have been
torn limb from limb on the spot, but
the horrible crime of the negro de-
manded a more cruel death and the
cool heads kept the enraged mob back
and The negro was dragged to the vii
lage common and bound to a tree.
Again the mob gave vent to their wild
desire for revenge and it was by the
greatest efforts of the leaders that
they were kept back.
The clothing of the negro was torn
from his body and pins, tacks, pen.
knives and every conceivable weapon
OF torture was stuck into the skin of
the negro as he struggled, vainly
pleading for his life. He was allowed
to suffer hundred deaths, with his
body bleeding in a thousand places.
The almost lifeless form Of his victim
was then placed before the glaring
eyes OF the brute, while willing hands
cut the tongue from his swollen mouth.
His cries became incoherent and be-
fore the enraged citizens could be
checked the skin was literally cut from
his body and distributed among the
villagers. He died with his eyes on
he little girl whose life he had ruined.
His heart was then cut out with jack
his toes and fingers chopped
III and carried away as mementoes.
His bloody and mangled form was
hen soaked with kerosene and fred. |

EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED
THREE PERSONS KILLED AND so
INJURED, MOSTLY NEGROES.
Fast Mail From st. Louis Crashed Into
Stalled Excursion Train-Part Of
Mail Train Went Over Embankment
Engineer Failed to Heed Danger
Flag In Time.

Kansas City, July 1.-THE Missouri
Pacific fast mail, No. z, which left st.
Louis, dashed into an excursion train
southbound from Kansas City that
had become stalled at Dead Mans
curve" between Little Knob and Lee
Summit, at 1925 in the morning.
Three persons were killed, two of them
tramps, and so others were injured.
With the exception of one or two of
the crew on the fast mail all the in
jured were on the excursion train.
Most Of them were Kansas City ne
groes. Eighteen were seriously hurt.
The injuries of the others consisted
of cuts and bruises. None of the pas
sengers on the mail train were hurt.
The engine, the mail and baggage
cars on the fast mail went down an
embankment, but the rest Of that
train remained upright, as did the ex-
cursion train.
Responsibility for the wreck seems
to rest with the engineer of the fast
mail, who failed to stop promptly when
tagged. The engine on the excursion
train, which consisted of IL coaches
heavily loaded, broke down. A flag.
man was sent ahead to stop the fast
mail, then about due. The engineer
of the fast mail failed to see the fore
most fagman and only slackened up
when warned by the second man, who
was within short distance Of the ex-
cursion train. The fast mail was run
ming at a high rate of speed and was
unable to come to full stop. When
the fast mail struck it was making Is
miles an hour. The engine, the bag
gage car and the foremost mail car
left the track and rolled down the en-
bankment. The impact badly damaged
the engine and baggage car of the ex-
cursion train, but the cars remained
upright.
Merrymakers damned.
Most of the injured were in the bag
gage car on the excursion train. This
car had been turned into a refresh
ment car and in it were about SO per-
sons, mostly negroes, making merry.
The crash came without warning and
they were tumbled into shrieking,
grooming mass, crushed and otherwise1
MANNED. The injured were cared for
quickly and every attention was given.
When the track was cleared the dead
were taken to Lee Summit and the in
jured brought to the Missouri Pacific
hospital at Kansas City.
