MISSISSIPPI JUSTICE
MELTED OUT TO A BRUTE.
This Negro Gets the Usual Potion
Dosed Out to Fiends Of His Charac-

Unknown to Officers.

Louisville, Miss, June 4.-Esex
Bostick, negro about rs years of age,
who was accused Of attempting to en-
ter the sleeping room Of Mrs. Sallie
Gordon after midnight Friday, was
last night taken from the officers near
here and hanged.
Bostick was one of party of sere-
naders on the night in question and
was making the rounds Of the neigh
borhood among the negroes. Later
Mrs. Gordon was aroused by the sound
OF music being played very softly and
her screams attracted Mr.. H. J. Gully,
who happened to be passing and
scared the serenader away. A search
OF the premises resulted in the finding
OF guitar and a pair of shoes later
identified as the property of Bostick,
who was located and jailed. AS
soon as it became known that the gull
ty wretch had been caught demonstra-
tons which plainly showed the temper
Of the crowd was for lynching him
were repulsed Saturday and officers
were endeavoring to spirit Bostick to
Philadelphia, but in a lonely and un-
inhabited part Of the woods, forty
armed men suddenly appeared from all
sides and demanded the custody of the
thoroughly cowed prisoner Seeing
that resistance would be folly, the Off
GERS acquiesced, and in few moments
his dangling body suspended from the
limb of a nearby tree, was mute evil
dence of the work of the lynchers, who
did not fire shot, but went about
their gruesome task like silent spec
tres Of the night, uttering not word
and disappearing as silently as they
had come. There is absolutely no clue
to the members of the party.

military stores at the conclusion of

scandal. The report, the paper says,
censues number of officers, whose

to have worked in collision with the
contractors. The latter bought stores
at absurdly low prices and afterward
sold them to the military authorities
at enormous profits, entailing a loss

opinions on the situation. The ambas
sador was deeply touched by the sin
cere cCrdiality Of his reception and thu
frank and friendly manner in which
the president spoke. He could not SCI
however, that there was anything II
the present situation, unfortunate as il
undoubtedly is for his government
which necessitated Russia's suing fol
peace. AS to territory he pointed out
that China and not Russia had been
the loser, for even Port Arthur was
held only under lease. On the sea
Russia had nothing more to lose he
said. 1t was the ambassador firm
opinion that this was not 1.-THE pyscho-
logical moment" in which to discuss
peace with Japan. Whatever might be
the ultimate decision of his govern
ment, he took the ground that Russia
could lose nothing either by waiting
or by continuing the war on land.
Hope of Victory.
There was hope yet for victory of
the Russian arms, and in any event
Russia had not yet lost one foot Of
territory nor was the Russian frontier
endangered.
The ambassador pointed out that
there was not the slightest official in
timation from any source as to ia
pans probable terms, and that these
demands as stated unofficially were
" altogether impossible" If Japan s
terms should prove anything like as
severe as they have been reported, it
was the ambassadors opinion that
Russia could advantageously continue
the war Indefinitely and eventually win
victory on land. That his govern
ment would SO decide he did not wish
to predict, but at last accounts the
Emperor was for a continuation of the
war. Thus the conversation continued
for more than half an hour, being
characterized throughout by frank
ness and friendliness.

lngton for st. Petersburg, early in

was the scene Of a tragedy in which
James Barnes, a brother Of William
Barnes of this city, lost his life. He
was shot and killed by j. D. Williams
a railroad foreman.
Accounts Of the affair that have

appear to be as follows: Barnes was
the time keeper under Williams and
the latter reprimanded him about his
work, whereupon Barnes drew a pis-
tol and commenced shooting at Will
llams, Being unarmed William raL
some distance to the store Of A. l..
Smith, Barnes pursuing and empty
ing his pistol at him. None of the
shots took effect. When Williams
reached the store he ran in and grabb-
ed up a shot gun and as Barnes en-
tered, reloading his pistol, Williams
fired upon him, through a screen door.
The first shot took effect in the breast,
and as Barnes turned Williams fired
again, the load entering the back.
Barnes died instantly.
Williams claims that he acted in
self defense and made no effort to es-
cape, notifying the sheriff's office here
of his intention to give himeslf up and
his desire for speedy preliminary
hearing.
