NEGRO IS STRUNG UP
MOB GETS IN SUMMARY WORK AT
 NEWBURN. N. C.
John Moore, Who Beat White Woman Over Head With Meat Axe, VIII Not Commit Another Such
 Deed In Future.

Newburn, N C., Aug. 27.--John Moore negro. 20 years old, was taken from Craven County jail. in this city, early today and lynched by a mob of one hundred masked men armed with re- volvers and rifles.
 With his hands tied behind him. the negro was led out about q third of a mile from the jail to the draw of Neuse River bridge. hanged to one of its braces and his body riddled with bull lets.
 The mob attacked the jail between l and o'clock this morning. Entrance to the jail was effected by forcing the jaiier to surrender the keys. As soon as the attack was discovered, the naval reserves were called out to attempt to prevent the lynching. Crowds rushed to the bridge. Sheriff J. W. Riddle was quickly on the scene, pleading that Moore be left to the law. but hts ef- forts were unavailing, and the mob car ried out its plans.
 Moore entered the country store of George Eubanks at Clarks. seven miles from Newburn, last Friday. when the proprietors wife was the only one in the store. The negro attempted rob- bery and struck Mrs. Eubauks on the head with a meat axe, fracturing some bones and infiicting injuries which. if they do not prove fatal, will at least cause not only disagreement, but life long suffering. Mrs, Eubanks screamed and people came to her rescue. The me- gro fled, but was captured in a swamp after a chase of few miles ,and was placed in jail.

INDIAN MOSQUITO LEGEND.
According to This Tale, the First Mos
 quito Was a Giant.

quito Was a Glnnt.
 There are pretty big mosquitoes in Jersey, but If report be true, they have greatly degenerated in size and strength since the days when tht- le- gend was believed by many of the In- dians.
 The grandfather of all mosquitoes lived in the neighborhood of Onandago: N Y. When he grew hungry he would sally forth and eat an Indian or two, and pick his teeth with their ribs. The Indians had no arms that would pre- vail against this monster. ney called upon the Holder of Heavens. who heard their prayer and came down and at tackled the insect. Finding that he had met his match, the mosquito flew away. He flew around the great lake, turned eastward, sought help from the witches that inhabited the Great Lake and had reached Lake Onandago when his pur- ture was a long time dying, piling into the sand on the shore in his death struggle
 AS his blood poured forth on the sand each drop became smaller mosquito. They gathered about the Holder of the Heavens and stung him so cruelty that he half-repented, the service he had rem dered to the Indians.
 The Tuscaroras say that two of the mosquitoes stood on opposite sides of the Seneca River and slew all who passed. Hiawatha killed them. A reservation stone marks the place where the Holder rested during his chase, and tracks were until lately seen south of Syracuse. alternated with the footprints of the mosquito. These foot prints were shaped like those of bird. and were twenty inches long. These marks, says The Washington Star, were revered by the Indians for many years.

PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN
Lived Three Months in Central Park Ate Picnickers' Leavings.

AEG PicmlckerB he1VfusSs New York Dispatch.
 Florence Kelly, young woman who, in spite of the ragged clothing she
 wore, showed traces of unusual beauty, walked into the police sub-station in
 McGowan's Pass Tavern in Central Park today and told the sergeant that she wanted to surrender herself. He asked what she had been doing and she said that she had been sleeping and living in the park Tor more than three months.
 She said she had slept in the block house on the hill. in the northern end l of the park, most of the time. but oc- casionally, under cover of darkness made her way along the by-paths down | to the cave at the Seventy-second Street lake, and passed the night there. The girl said she had subsisted on the scraps of luncheon that people had left under the benches or under the trees. with occasionally few berries which she had found on bushes in out of-the-way paths In the wooded parts
 of the park.
 She was turned over to Policeman
 Seers and taken to the Harlem Polico
 Court, where she was arraigned as
 vagrant She told the magistrate that
 she had lost her parents when she was
 little girl. She had been nurse
 since she was 10 years of age and had
 been in steady employment until three
 months ago, when she lost her position.
 She said that she had tried to obtain
 employment in various ways, but had
 failed; she had wandered about the streets tired and hungry, seeking vain- ly for work, until her clothes became
 so shabby that she felt ashamed to ap- proach anyone. She was remanded for
 the present until her case can be in-

These ten counties license 547 sa- looms. And they represent the potent industrial and financial centers of the State.
 "The politics and policies of Alabama are well-nigh determined by the will of the political leaders from these ten counties. Local privileges affecting moral and commercial valuations have been permitted by Legislative courtesy from time to time, but general legis- lation by which the dominance of the liquor influence might be even threat ened In these populous and growing centers has been tabled or effectively snlothered.
 There are forty-one dispensaries in Alabama. These are confined to twen- ty-sour counties, nine of which coun- ties have the saloon also.

 notably in the Caucasus, where there have been serious disturbances. In the Gori district the peasants are forcing the nobles, under the menace of death, to announce to the newspapers that they are handing over their holdings to the peasants freely, or are accepting one-tenth instead of one-quarter of the crop yield.
 The refusal of the peasants in the village of Inchadedshan to pay Prince Inukhransky the proportion of the crop to which he was entitled. led to zse- rious conflict between the peasants and Cossacks The Cossacks fired on the peasants, killing and wounding. ac- cording to an official account, 19, and, according to an unofficial account, 70. Peasants from the mountains came to tho assistance of the villagers, result ing in fresh conflicts, in which one Cossack was killed. Prince Inukhran- sky himself had a narrow escape from shots fired at him.

MIGRATIONs OF THE EEL.
Breeding Place Discovered In Depths of
 the Atlantic.


 Dr. J. Schmidt, in the course of Dan ish fishery investigations, has made i'm portant discoveries regarding the hab- its of the common eel which hitherto have been a matter of mystery. pr. Schmidt has captured great numbers of the larvae of the eel in the deep wa ter of the North Atlantic to the west of the British Isles. in depths of 5000 to 6 900 feet So abundant were they in some places that as many as seventy were caught in one haul of the net. pr. Schmidt has without doubt. discov- cred, as he claims, the breeding place of the common eel of Northwestern Flu rope, and it is almost incredible at first sight that 1t should be located In the abysses of the Atlantic. many hun dreds of miles and in some instances well over a thousand miles, from the fresh waters where the eels are reared. The parent cells must travel all that distance to spawn, and the young eelS must come all that distance back.

Famous Japanese Temple.

One Of Yokohama's most famous
temples, the Higashi Hngwanji, has
fallen into difficulties through debt.
A Japaneses paper says: "The fate
of the impecunious has at length over
taken this celebrated temple. It's prin-
ciple creditor, the Kitahama Ginko, 10
which it owes a sum of $4,000 yen
($265,OOOD, seems to have behaved
with the greatest moderation. But
the priests, chiefly their lord abbot
Count Otani, seem to have acted in an
impossible manner. All the temples
property, movable and immovable, will
be put up for public sale. The NOV
ables are to come under the auction
GERS hammer. They comprise 25
pairs of six leaved gold foil screens
and 1886 other articles, many of
which would doubtless be much cher
ished by virtuosi. Presumably the
devotees of the Shinshu sect will in
terfere to prevent the destruction of
their great temple. 1t seems but yes
terday, though it was in truth in 1882
that we heard of men subscribing
large sums to buy building material
and women cutting off their hair to
make ropes for drawing the colossal

thority that the Standard gave the
producers to understand that it would
buy, but when the committee went
to San Francisco it was CURLY re-
ferred to the Associated.
Since then reservoir building has
stopped, tanks have been emptied and
taken down and contract oil diverted
to the Associated, but repairs on the
pipe line have been kept up and new
pumping stations put in. Now comes
an apparent reversal of this policy.
Today Uncle Sam is investigating
the oil industry in California. The
Standard and it's alleged allies are
under suspicion and their operations
are being subjected to official probing.
Is there any connection between this
and the latest move at Kern? Per-
haps, and perhaps not. The immedi-
ate effect of the move will be none.
Right here it is decidedly interest
ing to not that while it is apparently
abandoning Kern river-it abandoned
McKittrick long ago without ever do
ing much business-the Standard is
quietly takin an increased number of
fuel contracts in southern California
in its own name and has been doing
so since the first of the year. These
contracts as yet include none of any
great size and have little or no i'm.
mediate effect upon the general mar
ket.

Breeds Of French Sheep.

John X. Gowdy, American consul at
Paris. sends the following sketch OF
French sheep to the department of
commerce and labor:
The three best native breeds OF
sheep are the Charmoise, the Poitevin
and Lauragais. The first named is a
long headed, barefaced sheep, with
long, fine white wool. The breed or
iginated in a cross between Barrichon
ewes and English New KENT rams.
and takes it's name from the farm
where originally bred. The Poitevin
(from Deux Sevres) furnishes from
four and one-half to five pounds of
half fine" wool and makes fairly
good mutton, but the sheep are wild,
bad tempered. and very large eaters.
They fatten easily and attain weights
of from 10 to 100 pounds.
The Lauragais. from Haute GarrOn-
ne. are a strong breed, much appre-
ciated for their long, fine wool and
the quality of their meat. The wool
is not so fine as that of the Lurzac
breed (of which the Lauragais is a
Variety. but the milk is excellent and
is used for making the celebrated
Roquefort cheese. There is also ia
nous flock of sheep bred on the gov
eminent stock farm at Rambouillet.
The first prize at the agricultural
show at Paris was taken by pen
of "Dishley-M erinos"- cross between
the well known Merinos and the Dish
leys, a breed originally imported from
England. which grows very fast, gives
a tolerably fine wool, eight to ten inch
