New York Tribune.

. What Jacob Newman, a lawyer Of
No. 500 Broadway, characterizes as test
suits to determine the validity Of the
law which provides a penalty Of not
less than $50 nor more than $500 for
refusing admission to negroes to places
OF public amusement, have been brought
against the Orpheum company, which
owns the Circle theater, at Sixteenth
street and Columbus circle. The plain.
tiffs are Mrs. Lucy Thomas, a negro
woman, who lives in West Iifty-third
street, and her daughter, Bessie. They
declared that on Nov. 26 they purchased
two tickets to the Circle theater, went
there, expecting to enjoy the perform
ance and were shown to their seats.
A few minutes later the manager Of
the theater ordered them to leave.
Their protests were not needed, and
they finally were put out.
The OTpheum company, thru its at
torneys, House, Grossman & Vorhaue,
have entered general. denial. They
demand jury trial and the cases viii
come up shortly in the tenth district
court.

theater solely on account OF their COLI

to leave theaters in New York recently.

will result in similar actions against

Flames Avenge Nesro's Crime.

Sulphur Springs, Tex, August H.
Tom William, mulatto negro, about 6
o'clock this morning, made an attempt
to assault young white girl in pas
ture near this town. Three hours later
he was blazing mass in the public
square at Sulphur Springs. The whole
proceeding was as orderly as such pro-
ceedings ever are. There was no excite
ment and the lynching was participated
in by several hundred people. In less
than four hours after the assault, the
tragedy had ended and the town had re-
turned to its accustomed vocations and
the incident was over.
On farm about 2 miles southwest of
town, Mary Childs lives with her mother
and sisters. About 9 o'clock this morn.
ing she started, as was her won't, to the
pasture to drive up the cows to the milk
ing lot. She had found the cows and
was returning with them when Williams
accOsted her. He took hold of the girl
and the latter, realizing her predicament,
told the negro he had better release her,
as her sisters were nearby. This evil
IDENTIFY frightened the negro, and the girl,
seeing he hesitated, set up scream and
he loosened his hold on her and ran off
way home and told what had happened.
Officers and posse started after the
negro and he was soon caught about II
miles east of town. He was taken at
once to the scene of the attempted as
sault and was fully identified by his in
tended victim, who told in detail her ex-
perience with him. AS soon as the mob
arrived at the public square the tools of
its trade were provided.
From his head to his heels the negro
was saturated with oil. A match was
applied to the feet and blaze shot high
into the air. The mob stood by and
watched the flames devour the negro.
The fire was kept going for while, but
it soon burned itself out and the body
was cut down. Then more oil was
poured on it and the blaze started aires h.
The body was almost entirely inciner-
ated. Then the mob dispersed and in
half an hour no sign remained of the
grewsome tragedy that had been enacted
nor of the victim whose death had been
compassed so quickly after his crime.
The relatives of the man were permitted
to take what was left of the body. They
scraped up the remains and took them
away. Later they will be buried by them,

Thirty. Six Persons Killed or Injured.

Cleveland, Ohio, August 13.-A fast

near Vermillion, resulting in the death
of IL persons, while at least 20 others
were injured, eight of whom will proba.
bly, die. The wreck, according to the
officials of tho company, was caused by
a misunderstanding of orders or neglect
to obey them on the part of the crew of
the freight train.
When the trains came together almost
everybody in tho smoker was doing.
The sudden jar hurled them out of their
seats into the aisle, and threw several
persons to the roof and sides of the car,
which seemed all at once to crush i'm
like paper bag, pinning down each pas
senger in the position in which he had
been caught. The passengers i'm the
second car escaped more easily, as there
the violence of the impact was not SO
severe, although few got off without
cuts, bruises, sprains or broken bones.
The two rear cars were seepers, and
they withstood the shock without suf-
fering serious harm. No passengers in
the sleepers were injured.

BETHEL CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
[Continued from page 4. |

And in speaking of these / am re-
minded of John Sharp and his wife,
who both passed into rest on the same
day. There is another name of sacred
memory which must be still fresh in the
minds of some of you here to-day. 1t is
that of Rev. Hugh Strong, who while a
teacher in Adger College was associated
was greatly admired for his learning and
beloved for his piety. Twenty years ago
Brother Strong was called to higher SER
vice.
But it is not my purpose in this brief
letter to write history. No doubt some
one has prepared sketch of Bethel
church to be read on this, her one hun
dredth anniversary. The record will be
an interesting one. Many of her men,
bers, doubtless, were born, lived and
died within her shadow, while others GO
ing out from her walls, have carried the
early influence of the mother church
into different parts of the land, strength
ening the cause of Presbyterianism by
uniting with churches already estab-
lished, or spreading the faith by helping
| to found new churches where there were
none. No man can live an ordinary life
| time and not have story to tell of dan.
| gers passed, a tale of sorrow and of Joy,
and no church can have survived 100
years in this not always friendly world
without it's story of struggle and
triumph, disappointment and success,
faith and patience. And i trust this
| story of Bethel church will be read to-.
day and that it will prove to every one
who hears an inspiration, an incentive to
higher Christian life.
There is no name more appropriate for
a place of worship than that which your
fathers gave to this one when 100 years
| ago they laid its cornerstone among
these everlasting hills-Bethel--Hous
of God. Every true church is a house
OF God erected in the wilderness of this
world as memorial of past blessings, as
refuge from the stormy wind and
tempest.
O, house of God whore Jesus stands,
The living bread within his hands,
o, gate of heaven where angels wait
To comfort the disconsolate.
And now that God may bless Bethel
church and make her blessing for
many generations to come Ia the prayer
of Your servant in Christ,
John II. Riley
Brevard, N. c., July Id, 1905.
