LYNCH LAW IN NEW YORK.
Mob Attempts to Hang Striker VINO
Stabbed a Newsboy.

New York, September 15.-Foc
having stabbed and brutally kicked a
newsboy, named Thomas Morrisey,
near Cortland street ferry this morn
ing, William J. Stewart and Henry
Hallen, who are alleged to be strik-
ing mail wagon drivers, came near
being lynched Only the prompt ac-
ton of the police and detectives pre-
vented them from being strung up in
true Western style. The men were
finally landed in the Church street
station.
The striking mail wagon drivers
have been making habit Of visiting
the ferries during the early hours OF
the morning to raid the mail wagons
that cross North river. A number OF
them were doing this at Cortland
street and one of them, Stewart,
knocked over Morrisey's news stand.
Hot words followed and Morrisey was
stabbed near the heart. A crowd i'm
mediately chased the men and were
in the act of stringing them up when
squad of detective appeared With
drawn revolvers and prevented the
lynching. Morrissey's condition is
not thought to be precarious.

Donald's township in Abbevalie coun-
~ was the scene early last night OF
the murder Of a white man by q negro
and the prompt lynching Of the negro
The people of Honea Path, where the
negro worked for Munroe Bros, and
where he was known to be a peacea-
h,e man. are aroused against the
members of the mob which shot the
negro Dave Pendleton, to death and
threw his body out Of the road, and
they gave some damaging evidence
today and several arrests are expect
ed
lin Moore, the 21-year-old son of
Rob Moore. was the white man who
lost his life at the hands Of the negro
At the timeof the murder Pendleton
was on his way home travelling in
buggy with negro man and. woma1-
who were his relatives. They were
met by Moore and a kinsman on foot.
The white men had been drinking,
they attacked Pendleton with q buggy
whip and when Moore began to use
the butt end on Pendlton the latter
attacked him .withsa knife, severins
his iugnlarsyein and almost instantly
killing him.
"A party of ten or twelve Of Moore's
nails and kinsmen promptly gathered.
Men from Honea Path begged them
not to do violence, but the testimony
today is that the leader called out:
.Come on, nobody will tell on u.s." at
which the party started out. The
ynching occurred about 10 O'Clock
last night, three hours after the muir
der.
The men of Honea Path have suf-
fered from the depredations of the
members Of this mob for several
wears and they say they will take the
matter up with the governor with
view Of prosecuting them for the muir
der of the negro.
Moore is a relative Of Representa-
tive Citizen JOSH Ashley. Another
relative of Ashley's and pal of the
Moores is John McGaha, who has
killed two white men, and who, abou!
three weeks ago, shot up the town OF
Honea Path. Nobody was hit, but his
buggy bore marks of the battle which
occurred at night.

eyes, and that unless the ala OIL lHe
Court of Equity be extended to the
plaintiffs and the conduct Of the de-
PENDANTS as aforesaid be arrested by
the writ of injunction, the plaintiffs
will be without remedy adequate un-
der the circumstances and their in
jury will be irreparable in that no
action at law or no successive actions
at law will provide adequate remedy
for the plaintiffs in that behalf.
Seventh. That the plaintiffs are
entitled to have their cotton weighed
under the Constitution Of this State
at any price at which they may con-
tract with any individual whomsoever,
and at any place whatsoever, and
that the actings and doings of the
defendants as aforesaid, under the al
legged legal rights and duties that
they assume, prevent the plaintiffs
from thus exercising their constitu'
tional privileges and causes and re-
quests the plaintiffs to pay to the de-
PENDANTS the sum Of ten cents on each
bale of cotton weighed, and to ac-
cept their statement Of weights as
correct. And unless the aid Of the
court Of equity be extended to the
plaintiffs and the conduct Of the de-
PENDANTS as aforesaid be arrested by
the writ of injunction, the plaintiffs
will be without remedy adequate un-
der the circumstances, inasmuch as
the defendants are, as the plaintiffs
are informed and believe, unable TO
respond in damages to any action or
actions at law that the plaintiffs
might bring, and that each separate
transaction between the plaintiffs and
the defendants would require sep
arate action at law and a multiple
ity of suits would result therefrom,
and pending such actions plaintiffs
could get no other person to weigh
their cotton or any buyers Of cotton
to agree to any other weighing and
thus the injury TO the plaintiffs would
be irreparable, and the remedy at
law, if any, would be wholly made
puate.
Eighth. That general law could
be made applicable alike to all coun-
ties in the State and therefore under
Sub-d division II, Section 34, Article Ill,
the said cotton weighing law which
is not applicable to the entire State
is unconstitutional.
Wherefore the plaintiffs demand
judgment that Article IL, chapter 81
of the first volume of the Civil Code
| of this State of 1902, embracing Sec
tions 1852 to 1858, both inclusive, and
all acts amendatory thereof, be ad-
Judged and decreed to be unconstitu-
| tional, null and void, and they pray
that a writ Of injunction do issue out
of this Honorable Court directed to
the defendants restraining them and
each and every one Of them from at
tempting to exercise or exercising any
of the functions or duties set forth in
the Statutes above referred to, and
that a temporary injunction issue to
/ prevent the said conduct pending the
trial and for such other and further
relief as may to the court seem just
and proper. Z,
