crowd was cleared back that he might get several views of the men bound to | the stake and ready for the burning. | Then followed an awful scene. Fren- zied cheers rent the air as men, almost
 crazed with hatred of the victims, saw
 the flames enveIop them. Just as the match was applied to the pyre one of
 those in front asked Reed if he wanted to tell the truth before he died. .....
 Yes, sir; killed Mr. and Mrs,
 Hodges he replied.
 Who killed the children?" he was asked t .'
 Handy Bell" came the response as the flames leaped upwards and further
 questioning was impossible in the wild
 tumult, The spectacle was frightful.
 As the flames touched Reeds naked skin he twisted his head
 around in an endeavor to choke himself and avoid the fearful torture. Only
 once did he complain, He said: Lord, have mercy ssls. -,as. D. 2- es.. .. Cato screamed in agony and begged to be shot. His oil-soaked hair was al- most the first thing the flames fastened
 on, and his screams of agony, while the hemp rope became a collar of fire around his neck, sent thrill of horror through the more timid of the specta- tors. Soon the rope was burned in two, his head swung from side to side as he
 endeavored to avoid the fiery tongues and by an effort almost superhuman he writhed under the close locked chains.
 For only about three minutes was he visible to the crowd before the great pile of fagots made a wall of flame which hid him from view. He was the first to become unconscious and was perhaps the first to die As his head swung to and fro some of the more ex- cited members of the party commenced 1 throwing lightwood knots at it.
 As soon as 1t was seen that the men were dead the crowd commenced dis Ipersing. A large number remained be-
 hind, however, piling on more fuel until
 both bodies were consumed except the
 trunks. Others employed themselves in beating out the fire, which commenced
 spreading along the dry streaks of pine needles. ge = z~t ~..

ly prone to be affected by pulmonary tuberculosis. This is not to be won- dered at when We consider that the floor of the lower class of public house is covered with sawdust which in great measure is impregnated with sputum. This dust dries and is constantly being stirred up by the feet of drinkers. Not ouly are barmen and barmaids and the customers of the house thus exposed to infection, but the unhappy children who are brought into the house by their mothers are likewise in danger. The public house is the poor woman's club
 where she can discuss with her neigh bors social and domestic incidents: the children cannot be left at home. and So they sit on the public-house floor dur ing their mothers gossip-time. Only the other day, passing large public house in one of the main thorough
 fares of St. Luke's, we noticed through
 the open door of public bar several
 slatternly women drinking at the coun-
 ter, while crawling on the floor of the
 bar and rubbing their hands in the
 sawdust with which it was strewn were two babies of from eighteen to twenty
 months old. That this is not an un-
 common occurrence those who have oc-
 casion to visit poor and squalid neigh borhoods well know, and in the light of
 such facts is it to be wondered that the
 race is said to be degenerating or that
 medical science should have such a
 hard uphill fight with disease? Grant ling that these children, probably the
 offspring of degenerate beings, become infected with the bacillus of tubercie,
 the environment in which they live will
 necessarily be a potent factor in the
 development of pulmonary tuoerculo-
 sis, and not only will they themselves
 suffer, but they will also involve the
 public in great expense for thsir subse-. quent treatment and keep. Recently
 law has been passed to prevent cnil-
 dran under a certain age frem obtain | ing intoxicants, and there is legislation
 fer the prevention of cruelty to chill dren, but as yet there Is 10 law to pre-
 vent ignorant mothers from leaving their offspring to play or the disense-
 laden floor of public house. Efforts. are being made to ineulcate the pre-. cepts of hygiene at an early age, and many publieans, notably those in the borough of Wodwich, post up notices requesting their customers not to spit.
 But until splitting on the floor of tav- ern is made a penal offence, as it is at present to spit in a tralncar, there is
 but little hope of standardization

 The small guard about the prison withdrew into the room and closed the door. The mob crushed against it, bursting 1t as though it was an egg shell. The prisoners were at their mer- cy, all resistance having been beaten down. Cato, Reed and Bell and the other prisoners covered before the crowd. They dragged Cato and Reed out, releasing Bell into the hands of the few soldiers left there as soon as they learned he was not Reed, for whom they had mistaken him. t.-z

 By this time the crowd numbered 800 persons. The doomed men were drag ged, the crowd shouting and cheering, along theroadway leading to the Hodges homestead, where the five members of the family had been murdered and burned. That was their destination. The heat was so intense that the crowd wearied when the two miles Of the six miles route had been traversed Going seventy-five yards from the road the crowd halted. The two negroes were made to seat themselves on log They were told they had bu ta short time to live and that they should confess.
 Reed was the first to speak He con- fessed, duplicating other negroes, as. he had in the court room. He denied, how ever, that he had taken an active part in the murder. "
 Cato answered incoherently. The crowd moved across a field to strip of woodland. Several men climbed to branches and called for ropes.
 Burn them!' 'Burn them!" shouted the crowd
 Cato begged to be shot or hanged, saying he was innocent; that he had had no part in the crime. Some of the more humane wanted to grant his re- quest, but they were in the minority. The rest wanted to visit the same death upon the negroes that they had visited upon the Hodges family.
 A member of the mob made a speech recounting the horrors of the crime. This infiamed the crowd to the burning pitch. To a large stump twelve feet high the men were chained with their backs to the stump. Then a wagon load of pine wood was piled around the men and ten gallons of kerosene was thrown over them.

WAR MAY CONTINUE
Complications Arise to Block
Grain Rate Settlement.

Complications have arisen which make
1t doubtful whether the agreement be-
tween the general traffic officials Of the
North w eStern, Chicago Great Western
and Missouri Pacific for the settlement Of
the Western grain rate war will be rati-
ned by the executive officers at their
annual meeting in Chicago next Tuesday.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas and other
Gulf roads are not inclined to accept the
proposition to reduce the differential on
grain from the West to and through st.
Louis as against Chicago to cents.
These roads feel that the reduction will
divert Missouri river grain from the Gulf
roads to the Atlantic coast lines, and they
are not inclined to give up the advantage
they have enjoyed so long.
Serious objection is also made by the
Burlington and other competitors of the
North Western to the proposition that on
grain from Nebraska points which is nat
urally tributary to Omaha, the through
rate is to be equal to the sum of the
locals west of Omaha and east from that
city to Chicago or the Twin Cities, and
that on grain tributary to Missouri river
gateways north of Omaha the through
lines may make lower through rate than
the sum of the locals.
This concession is claimed to be in the
interest Of the North Western, which has
bridges over the Missouri river at Blair.
Neb., and at Sioux City. 1t is pointed out
that any concessions granted the North
western Will be demanded by its competi
tors. Ihe Burlington takes the position
that If the North Western is permitted
