RUSSIAN DISAPPOINTMENT.
On Learning That the United States
 Was Not Interested in Shanghai.

St Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The news that the navy department at Wash ington absolutely denied that tue United States warships at Shanghai had received instructions to assist in the protection of the neutrality of China or to in any way interfere with the Japanese warships. which news did not arrive until late tonight. put some thing of a damper on the feeling of satisfaction with which the earlier re- ports had been received.
 Nevertheless. as stated in the As sociated Press dispatches the question relating to the cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi is expected to be adjusted just as soon as China and Ja- can come to an agreement and the ships will be disarmed, the admiralty having decided that it would be sui cidal to send them out against the su- perior force of the Japanese lying in wait.

JUST A GEORGIA EPISODE
As Usual, the Negro Was Disposed of
 Near the Scene of His Crime.

Cedartown. Ga, Aug. 22.-Jim Glover. negro. was shot tO death tonight near the home of a white girl whom he had assaulted. and his body was dragged a distance of about a mile into this city and burned OF the public square. A mob estimated at 500 men. composed the shooting and burning party.
 The crime for which the negro was thus punished was a criminal assault upon Levia Reeves, the thirteen year old daughter of a well known farmer. The true story of the crime is the most revOlting that has ever been giv- en to the public from this immediate section of the country. After the lit tie girl had protected the negro from the attack of a large dog owned by her father, he followed her to a pas ture where she was taking a COW, caught her, choked her into insensi- bility and left her bleeding and uncon- scious in a cornfield. This occurred early in the morning.
 Bloodhounds had been on the negro s trail al! day and he was captured some distance away late in the afternoon. carried to the home Of the girl. who unhesitatingly identified him as the right man. The negro confessed his guilt. Immediately the crowd took him away from the posse which had cap tured him and his body was riddled with bullets and afterwards burned.
