COL. ARTHUR LYNCH.

afforded no excuse whatever for sub
sequent acts. There was abundant
evidence, he said, of overt acts in aid
ing the kings enemies.
The jury, after having been out
half an hour, returned verdict of
guilty. When asked if he had any thing
to say as to why he should not be sem
fenced to death, Col. Lynch replied:
"Thank you. will say nothing"
Sentence Pronounced.
The sentence of death was passed on
each of the four counts of the indict-
ment. The prisoner then bowed to the
court and was removed in custody.
Lynch throughout bore himself with
unfaltering composure. He walked
out steadily between the jailers and
past the bench where his wife and
other relatives were seated. Mrs. Lynch
has been given permission to see her
husband.
Lynch's conviction creates parlia-
mentary vacancy in Galway, and it is
understood that Capt. Shawe-Taylor,
organizer of the recent land confer
ence, who is now in America, will be
a candidate, with the approval of the
various political parties.
Hold q Conference.
After the prisoner had been re-
moved Lynch and his counsel had q
conference regarding the course to be
adopted in the future and later it was
announced that no action would be
taken at present. Counsel can proceed
with applying for a writ of error, but
it is thought that this may be rendered
unnecessary by the communication of
the sentence to short term of impris-
onment, in which case it is probable
that the prisoner will accept the situa-
ton.
Career of Col. Lynch.
Col. Lynch is an Australian by birth,
but an Irishman by nationality and
choice. His life has been as full of adj
venture as one of Charles Levers cele-
brated Irish heroes.
He is an author, an engineer, a jour
nalist, soldier, and an ardent politi-
clan. In Australia, the United States,
England, and South Africa he has adj
vocated home rule for Ireland. His
love; of conflict overcame him when he
reached South Africa as war CORE
spondent and he became an active
combatant.
With President Kruger's permission
he organized the Second Transvaal
Irish brigade of rough riders, swore
allegiance to the Transvaal, and saw
much active service. After the defeat
of the Beers and while the colonel was
in Paris, he was elected by his Irish
friends to represent Galway in the
house of commons. On his arrival in
England, June II, he was arrested on
the charge of high treason.

house on Tuesday night
The great rate fighter is convinced
that this city is uujustly discumin-

any town or city in the Rocky Noun

derstand why the shippers should per-
NIT such rates to exist, so long as they
can appeal to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for an adjudication of the
matter.

SAVANNAH AUTOIST
CREATED SENSATION

In the Quiet Little Town of Beau
fort, $. c.
A well known photographer of Sa-
vannah who owns a mild but lively lit
tie Oldsmobile. took a trip to Beaufort
the other day, and his path through
the streets of that quiet village seems
to have been filled with bloody dust
and highly electrified excitement. The
correspondent of the Charleston News
and Courier from Beaufort made the
visit a text for a half-column dispatch,
and it reads like a regulation half
dime horror" Following are selections
from the article:
"A Savannah automobilist brought his
machine here Friday by steamer and
tore about over the streets with speed,
filling waYfarers with terror and con-
sternation and frightening horses,
mules, oxen and animals. The first vic
tim was an innocent and unsusDecting
dog, that was run over and curtailed.
Then buggy was smashed by a terri
ned horse and a mule cart was de-
molished by the fury of the onset.
This is the first automobile ever
seen IN Beaufort, and if they are gem
orally introduced and their speed con-
tinues of lightning velocity persons
Will have to provide themselves with
lightning rods or firearms to break
the shocks.
Reports have been published of the
repeated horrors and disasters pro-
duced by these engines of destruction
to human as well as to brute life.
and 1t is horrible to witness the in
difference, If not satisfaction that it
seems to give the reckless chauffeur
when he strews torture, injury and
murder in the path of his flying ma
chine.
"One instinctively wonders if human
nature is not inspired at such mo-
ments with an emotional insanity. or
does not share with the brute some
of those instincts for torturing and
wounding victims for the temporary
qualification of a horrible sensation.
The tiger and the British lion and
even the rapacious great American
eagle, delight in mutilating and tor
turing their prey before killing and
eating it.
'The cat will play and torture its
rat or mouse before killing it out
right, and the butcher bird takes ex-
IRENE delight in impaling the flies
