DROWNED NEAR woRDEN FERRY.
John T. O'Connor of Hinsdale, 20 Years Old
Loses His Life While Bathing.

| John Thomas O'Connor of Hinsdale,
| aged 20 years, was drowned in the Con
necticut river near the river tavern
| Sunday afternoon at about 4 o'clock.
He was unable to swim, but was bath
| ing near shore, when he stepped into
one of the deep holes in which that
part of the stream abounds, and had
gone down for the last time before any
of those on shore realized that any
thing was wrong When his compan-
ions perceived his danger they at once
went to his assistance and began div
ing TO rescue him, but all to no avail,
as the bed of the stream could not be
reached on account of the great depth
of water and the swiftness of the cur
rent at that place. The river was
dragged and the search for the body
continued all night, but it was after
noon Monday before it was found near
the place where it went down.
Mr.. O'Copnor was the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Connor and a
graduate of the Hinsdale High school,
class 1903. He was employed as clerk
in Raynsford's drug store. He was
universally liked and respected and his
death was a terrible shock both to his
parents and family and to his class
mates and friends who knew him as
good comrade and young man of
stainless character. Besides his pa
rents he leaves one brother and two
sisters to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held at st. Joseph S
Catholic church where the deceased
was an altar boy up to the time of his
death, at 9 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing The attendance was large, his
classmates attending in a body, and
the floral offerings, many and beauti-
full, including pieces from his class and
from the High school. The interment
was in st. Joseph's cemetery.

Lynchings and Race Riots.

Leading colored men of indianapolis
are discussing the necessity for dis
couraging worthless negroes from com
ing to that city, owing TO the spirit
which has been manifested by the or
ganization of whites known as the
"Bungaloos - They believe that race
war is inevitable unless the city is rid
of worthless negroes. Several negroes
were hurt in race riots in New York
the past week Several young colored
men attacked and severely beat son
of Alderman Harrington. The police
made an arrest and when they disap-
peared crowds of white men attacked
every negro in sight and chased them
from the streets. Several were severe
ly beaten Sunday U. S. soldiers from
FIT. Leavenworth tried to lynch two
negroes at Leavenworth, Kan. The
entire police department was busy for
over an hour quelling the trouble which
started in row during which one of
the negroes fired at soldier. One
of the blacklist lynching crimes ever
recorded took place at Devon, w. Va,
Saturday, when a negro who had as
saulted IA year old girl was literally
carved to bits by an enraged mob of
over 200 men. First, pins, tacks and
pen knives were stuck into his body
then his tongue was cut out and after
he had been tortured almost to death,
the skin was cut from his body and
distributed among the villagers. His
heart was cut out, his toes and fingers
chopped off and carried away as me-
His bloody and mang1ed form
was then soaked with Kerosene and
fired.

impress all who come in contact with
them as refined and gentlemanly, and
he was much beloved by teachers and
schoolmates. Much sympathy is felt
for his mother who is an invalid. Flu
neral services were held in the chapel
Tuesday afternoon among abundant
floral tributes. Rev. G. II. DeBevoise
spoke tender words Of sympathy to the
bereaved friends. The singing was by
a quartet of young ladies. The body

Bellows Falls to Lose an Industry.

Bellows Falls will lose one of its
thriving and promising industries
about August l when the Coy -Babcock
company, manufacturers OF waxed
paper, will move its entire plant to
Bennington. This is done because more
room must be secured and accommoda-
tions cannot be secured in Bellows
Falls so advantageously, as in Benning-
ton. This company at present employs
l6 men and seven girls. The talk is
that all but three of the men will go
to Bennington.
