DOUBLE MURDER AVENGED.
Two Blcodthirsty Blacks Are Shot
Down and Another Captured
and Then Lynched.

Greenville, Miss, June 4.-As result
of fight which occurred on the Sims
and Williams plantation, at Trail Lake,
Miss, 30 miles east of here, John Sims
and his manager, named Cato, were killed
by negroes and three of the negroes have
been killed, also. The country is in a
state of intense excitement and 1t Is
feared that further trouble may ensue
between the whites and blacks. The
slaughter started about ten o'clock
Thursday night. when Sims and Cato
were shot down in their store by negro
named Sam Clark
News OF the tragedy was Immediately
sent to Greenville, and Sheriff John
Crouch, with posse, went to the scene.
Van Horn, confederate of Clark's, was
captured by the posse, taken to jail, and
Friday morning taken out and lynched.
A negro convict who attempted to in
terfere with the posse was shot, and
Clark was later killed by Sims book
keeper. II Is believed at Trail Lake that
the shooting Is the outcome of a meet
ing held in the vicinity of Trail Lake by
a negro secret society, and that the ne
groes involved were picked out to do
the killing.

RIOT AT ST LOUIS.
Spectators Angered at Stopping Of a
Bull Fight Burn the Grand
Stand.

st. Louis, June G.-Incensed over their
failure TO see genuine Spanish bull
fight which the authorities had or
dered stopped, a. riot was started in an
arena near the worlds fair grounds
Sunday evening by crowd Off ,500man
and boys, who were unable to get their
money back, and the building was
burned to the ground. The price of adj
mission charged was one dollar. Four
men were placed under arrest by the
authorities of st. Louis county, charged
with the destruction of the property.
The crowd, thinking these men were
connected with the show, made an at
tempt to mob them and in their en-
counter with the deputy sheriffs a
number were roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds. The
building is said to have cost $4,000. 1t
is a total loss, with no insurance, 1t Is
reported.
The initial performance by the COM
pany of Spanish bull fighters had been
advertised widely for Sunday. but
Gov. Dockery. to whom numerous pro-
tests had been made by religious and
humane societies. ordered that It
should not be allowed to take place.

NO DUST ON THE ROADS.
Coating of Tar Has Proved Success
full in Abating Crying
Evil in France.

How to obtain dustless highways has
long been problem to which municipal
supervisors in all parts of the world have
been devoting a great deal of attention.
An official report of the department of
bridges and roads in France shows the
continuance of the good results obtained
in rendering roads free from dust by
coating the surface with tar.
The engineer for the Seine and the
Marine departments reports that after an
unsuccessful trial OF mixture of oil
and petroleum coating of tar was in the
summer of 1902 laid down en- seven diff
ferent lengths Of road. After carefully
observing these during period ofC12
months, he finds that dust and mud have.
wholly disappeared and the cost Of main
tenance Of the roads has been consider
ably reduced. Further comparing the
previous outlay on the roads with that
OF those with tarred surfaces, he says:
1T appears that the tarring method
requires no greater outlay, and. at the
same time, very considerably improves
the condition of the roadway. In La
Cher two lengths of the Chausee Ma
tionals were coated with tar In June and
August, OF 1902. Both these expert
ments have been entirely successful, the
road now being covered with an elastic
skin, while the sound Of foot passengers
tread is muffied and horses and draught
oxen require only one-half the EFFORT
they put forth before. The noise and Vi
bration caused by vehicular tradic Is
much reduced. and neither dust nor mad
is former on the tarred surface"

AIDES past a Fourth of July of ex-
plosions, streets Uttered with the
wreckage of dynamite bombs, private
property burning through the careless
or illegal use of fireworks, and the
morning after the Fourth a hospital
list OF killed and wounded little ones
that would simply appal the managers
of any country celebration Of the ma
tional holiday.
Now comes Chicago, always unique,
always original, rarely initiative, a
great, big, overgrown city, so big THAI
its own people do not realize them
selves its magnitude. and purposes to
have country" Fourth of July for
its own children. 1t proposes to go
back to- first principles, to have \
Fourth OF July that stands for the

the leading citizens.
The proposition. connected as 1t Is
with a city having at least 100000
population, Is so extraordinary that 1t
Is almost funny, and yet 1t has a serI-
GUS side OF so much municipal and ma

made successful for one year at least il

Of the Fourth in every large city of

What Chicago proposes to do Is just
what Grassmore, Fair Oak. Blue Duck

years-make the Fourth of July one

tional lines. II is a radical attempt on
the part Of great city to return IN
some measure to the ways of the sim
pie country folk. who have always re-
vered and celebrated in simple, Amer
lean fashion, the Fourth.
Chicago's experiment will be
watched by not only every large city
in the country. but every center o.
population. big or small.
The Chicago boys Fourth OF July OF
the past has been a variegated one
Take a few statistics, rather carefully
gathered. and 1t will be noted that
nine OF them were killed In 1899 and 165
injured on the Fourth through the use
OF the dynamite bomb. dynamite car
and dynamite firecracker, and the toy
pistol or blank cartridge pistol.
The next year IA of them were killed
on the same day and 201 injured
through the same causes. BY 1903 IL
OF them were dead and 314 injured in a
single day by the improper use OF H.
legal explosives. In FIVE years OF thu
history of the city II boys. girls and
babies were killed through fireworks
and 1900 injured in Chicago alone.
In ten years In ten Of the large
cities OF the country the casualty list
of the Fourth Of July has amounted

The incorporation, now known as

and already actively engaged in prep
arations for the celebration of the
Fourth, faced the problem that Chi
cago children and adults use approx
mately each year about 100000 sep
arate pieces of fireworks for the
Fourth alone.
During the "a hours between tho
evening of the third aud the night OF
the Fourth II Is estimated that 1000
900 firecrackers are discharged, $780,
900 torpedoes, over 300,00 Roman can
dies, and over 100000 explosives OF
other character. A large percentage
Of these are fireworks prohibited by
the law, explosives that the city ordi-
nances do not permit to be sold by
dealers, or, If illegally sold by them, TO
be discharged by the purchasers in the
public streets.
