A Kentucky mob has just given
variety to its usual activity by lynch-
ing a white man. The victim had
committed murder, the courts were
slow in dealing with his case, and
he finally got a life sentence. He APP
pealed to the highest court and was
awaiting another trial. Asinfuential
men interested themselves in his case,
it was feared that he might escape
punishment altogether. So the mob
took the law into its own hands and
killed the murderer, and those who
took part in the lynching committed
the crime which they condemned in
their victim.

The mob dispersed, the law will take

PENNsY TO SUSPEND WORK.
Improvement Contracts of S1O,OOO,OOO
Will Go Over to Next Year.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says: The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sus-
pend further operations on a great part of
the vast improvement and extension work
now under way. 1t is estimated that nearly
100000 of new work already under con-
tract will be stopped within thirty days.
Formal notice was given Saturday to sew
eral contractors to suspend work No
Vember 10. Other orders of like tenor will
lie issued without delay. This will throw
out OF work several thousand men employed
by the contractors.
The purpose is to stop all improvements
and extension work from which direct ben
eft cannot be derived this year, except
whore the work is so far advanced or in
such shape that operations cannot be sus-
pended without danger of serious damage
TO the work already done Heavy eXcava-
ton work will be stopped.
Work now to be suspended will be taken
up again only on its merits being newly
considered. Everything dropped now goes
over to take it's place among improvements
and extensions which will be recommended
for next year.
The stoppage of certain Improvement
work ordered was determined upon by Pres
1dent CaSSatt after consultation with Chas.
II. Pugh, second vice president and w. w.
Atterbury, general manager, who agreed
with him that traffic conditions now are
not such as to require all the increased IA

special to the Baltimore American from

grip lost by Senator McConas at Bruce
VILE station on Thursday was found this
afternoon in a clump of bushes in deep
ravine about 800 yards from the station by
two young men-Bruce Weant of Bruceville
and Willie Cover of York road. The young
men were taking walk in the vicinity,
and had several bird dogs with them, one
of which went into the bushes. The young
men saw the dog apparently pointing at an
object which. upon closer observation, they
discovered was the missing grip. They
took IL to Bruceville station. where they
left it with w. w. Sweigart. the agent,
who now has it in custody. 1t is somewhat
defaced and spotted by the rain which fell
yesterday. otherwise it does not appear to
have been tempered with. 1t is still locked
and its weight is about much as it would
be with its contents intact 1t probably
has not been opened since it was taken
from the railroad station. 1t is supposed
that IT was thrown into the bushes for the
purpose of concealing it until interest in its
loss should have died out.

Il was the only public official of the city
