ALMOST II LYNCHING.
Negro, Who admits HIS Crime,
SaUed from Mob.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuNE.l

Troy, N Y. July 17.-Washngton County had
a narrow escape from a lynching yesterday
when Peter Gillette negro, was captured by
a crowd at Whitehall and held On the charge
of assaulting Hazel Chapman fifteen years old.
whom he accosted as she was picking berries on
the outskirts of the village.
Gillette was taken before Justice Davis and
sent to the village lookup. The mob became so
violent that Thomas A. Walker, the Chief of
Police feared trouble, and took the prisoner out
a back door to the train and carried him to the
county Jail at Salem. There is little doubt but
that had he remained in the f1imsy Whitehall
lookup over night lynching would have taken
place The sober better sense of the county, it
Is felt. will now prevent any outbreak.
Citizens say the threats were made by canal
men. Whitehall is the terminus of the Cham
plain Canal and drivers and other employees are
often idle there.
Sheriff Austin, at Salem, will not allow a
crowd to collect about the Jail, which is thirty
miles from the place of the assault The pris-
oner admits his gualt Doctors say the child
will soon recover

RIOT PROCLAMATION.
Mayor Harrison Issues One IN
Kellogg Strike IN Chicago.

Chicago. July 1.-THE riotous conduct of the
strikers of the Kellogg Switchboard Company
and their sympathizers during the last four
days impelled Mayor Harrison TO issue a procla-
nation tonight urging all people to remain
away from the scene of the trouble and call
ing on the rioters to cease from their work.
The proclamation insists that all people must
keep off the streets near to and refrain from
gathering in crowds around the kellogg plant.
and declares that all persons who do this or in
any other way interfere with the work of the
police by forming blockades will be promptly
arrested and punished
Heavy rain this afternoon and evening pre-
vented possible trouble by dispensing the mobs,
and the work of handling freight from the plant
of the kellogg Company rot interfered
with as much as on former days. The only
nixup of the afternoon occurred az Taylor-st-
and Hermitaee-ave. A large crowd of men and
boys pursuing a wagonlOad of freight sent
out by the Kellogg Company. Finding them
selves being dstanced by the speed OF the
wagon. they boarded a Tayor-st. car and or
dered the motornlan to overtake the wagon.
None of them would pay a fare, and the street
car men refused TO move the car until fares were
forthcoming This angered the crowd, and.
abandoning their pursuit of the wagon, they
turned their attention 10 the streetcar. They
bornbarded it WITH stones. until there was not
a pane of glass left in it. The motorman ana
conductor narrowly escaped injury. They would,
in all probability, have been badly hurt had
not a squad of the police arrived in time to
protect them.
Efforts made this afternoon by President
Schardt, of the Chicago Federation of Labor. TO
bring about a peace conference of the officials
of the Kellogg company and the labor leaders.
He was unable however. to see all the men IN
time to arrange for meeting this Afternoon. ana
IL is likely that one will be held in the morning,
when the attitude of both sides to the contro-
versy will be defined and concessions arranged
for
The expected attempt of President Albert
Young. of the Transfers Union, to bring press
.ure to bear on the Kellogg company by inducing
the Edison Company to shut OFF its power and
threatening to close the Edison Company Up in
case of refusal did not materfaliZe. President
Young declared though. that he had reached an
agreement with the United Mine Workers of
Illinois. through W. ID. Ryan. the secretary and
treasurer by which the miners would not mine

Tesmsters' Union. Mr.. Ryan this afternoon de-
olared that he had not seen President Young.
anu had reached no agreement with him.
The miners are going to carry out their con-
tracts" said Mr.. Ryan. and will keep on min
ing just the same. The Chicago teamsters would
better stop that kind of talk"

wHITEwAsH FOR CONVICT CAMP.
Nothing Wrong, Georgia Prison Commits
mission Says.
Inv rELEeRArH 20 THE ruIsUNz.l ]

Atlanta, Ca, July 1T.-Despite the SCARED
backs exhibited by convicts at yesterdays hear
ing. and the admission of the lessees that they
had failed TO give negroes credit for time due
them for good behavior causing them to be
held in a state of peonage. the State Prison
Commission to-day found that there is no reason
to discontinue the convict camp operated in
Oglethorpe County by Broach Brothers. There
was some doubt of the commissions power to
take up this investigation, but the evidence
given strong that IL was confidently eX-
pected that the lesseeS would be ordered to give
up their convicts.
The opinion is freely expressed to-day that the
commission has whitewashed the camp instead
of acting the charges of cruelty.

When at seven o'clock this afternoon
Chief of Police and Jailer G. d.
High went to lock the prisoners,
fifteen in number, in their cells at
the Jail here, q concerted attack was
made upon him with such sudden
ness and Jury that for moment
looked as if the officer must inevi-
tably be overpowered and the men
effect their escape.
The jailer however was equal to
the occasion. Warding off most of
the blows aimed at him, he drew
his revolver and as the crowd press
ed on him three reports rang out,
and one of the attacking party reel
ed, shot twice in the arm and once
in the back. The others fell away
from the determined man. In the
melee, though, two burst from the
building and escaped. The others,
over-awed by the sight Of the
weapon, were placed in their cell:
without further resistance.
