Mob in Havana,

Havana, July 1S.-A jamaican ne
gro known by the sobriquet "Ameri-
cano," who was supposed to have as
saulted and then murdered 9-year-
old Spanish girl, had a narrow escape
from lynching here Sunday. When
the police went to the Jamaican's
house he fed and the crowd which
had assembled, taking this for an ad-
mission of guilt, pursued him. The po-
lice, however, captured the negro and
took him to the house of local judge.
Meanwhile Cuban negro, who
later was identified as the real cul-
prit, was captured outside the city by
a policeman who brought him through
little frequented roads to the office of
the local Judge, in front of which a
great crowd was clamoring for the
lynching of the Jamaican.
The two negroes were rushed across
the city in a police wagon to the audi
encia court building, where the Cuban
was identified as the perpetrator of
the crime, one of the most atrocious of
the kind ever known in Cuba.
Crowds gathered in the vicinity of
the prison and at the morgue nearby.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Democratic Leaders Held One In
New York CITY,


New York, July 19.-Leaders OF the
democratic party conferred for more
than two hours last night in the rooms
Of ex-senator d. B. Hill at the Hoff-
man house, and at the close made pub
lie a statement to the effect that the
craftsmanship of the national commit
tee had not been discussed. Privately
it was said the judgment of all pres
ent was that the interests of the party
would be best conserved by leaving
the committee absolutely free to elect
its chairman. Judge Parker was said
to favor this course. The conference
resulted in an agreement to call a
meeting of the national committee, to
be held at the Hoffman house on July
&c.
The question of fixing the time and
place for the notification of candidates
for the presidency and vice presidency
was left to the candidates themselves.
Present at the conference were the
leaders who brought about the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker. There was
also present Senator Victor j. Dowl-
ing, of New York, who looked after
the Tammany interests. Every one de-
clared that harmony had been the
watchword throughout.
The conferees were ex-senator

More Paw for Mail Carriers.

Washington, July 19.-The new
salary schedule for rural mail carriers
has been completed. 1t applies from
July l. The last congress raised the
maximum salary from 5000 to $720 a
year. 1t was found that the maximum
route was "a miles long and to car
riers on routes of this length, num-
bering about 10000, the maximum
salary will be paid. The salaries of
carriers on routes shorter than the
maximum was fixed by deducting s1S
for each mile less than "a. The net
result is that two-thirds of the whole
force of 24,500 rural carriers have re-
ceived increases of $1O0 year. The
remaining carriers received increases
of less than this amount.

KEEPS HUSBAND IN STORAGE.
New York Farmer, Who Died Last
December, is Still Unburied and
Neiqhbors Object.

A man named Lyons died last De-
cember at his home on a farm near
Niagara Falls, N. Y. Neighbors, who
knew of the death, expected, of
course, that the funeral would follow,
but time passed and no funeral was
held. Recently complaint was made
to a coroner of this city that the body
was being kept in barn.
An investigation revealed that the
body was in storage, and the widow
said that her husbands body had
been placed in a metallic casket, and
that she was waiting for a son to
come home before holding the funer-
al. The woman is reported to be a
Christian Scientist.
Nothing like this has ever happened
before in Niagara county, and the
officials are at loss to know how to
proceed. At present it looks as
though the woman might keep her
dead as long as she wants to-. but
every day adds to the neighbors' dis
satisfaction.
