Race Disturbances.

AT Mobile, Ala, 200 masked men held
up train and took two negroes from the
sheriff at noon and hanged them. The
men were accused OF attacking white girls.
The conductor had the train held so that
the passengers might see the hanging the
men being hanged ON a tree close beside
the railroad track The sheriff and his
deputies were disarmed.
Only the presence of troops at Macon,
Ga, prevented the recurrence of an at
tempt to lynch a negro who had shot
two white men of that city, The mob
had broken its way into the Jail that
night and released several white men
charged with murder, one negro was shot
but not killed, but the prisoners had been
spirited away. The father of one of the
wounded white men pleaded with the mob
to let the law take its course. Later the
accused negro was secretly taken to At
lanta.
George Blackburn, negro of Argenta,
Ark, who was arrested on suspicion of
being the man who fred from ambush on
two white men, was taken from Jail Mon
day night and lynched. Later it appear
ed, Blackburn was not the guilty man.
Four hundred negroes deserted their
homes and went to Little Rock, because
they were afraid for their lives

BOYS TALK AT 1900 MILES.
Young Men Put Up Wireless sta
lions Far from Each other.

Within seven miles of Burlington,
Iowa, is a wireless telegraph station by
which daily communications are had with
Wayesboro, W. Va, 1,500 miles away.
The builder of the station and the chief
promoter of the enterprise is Irwin Han
son, the 17-year-old son of II. Z. Hanson
of Union township. Young Hanson Is
high school graduate. He became inter-
ested in electrical engineering after grad
uation and absorbed everything he could
find in books and magazines- de built
the tower and apparatus of his wireless
station at his fathers home and arranged
with a friend in Wayesboro to build a
similar station there. 1t look the young
men several weeks TO complete the sta
tons and then much longer to secure con-
nections. The feat was finally accom-
plished and now the young operators con-
verse with each other over the loo miles
of space every day. The plant is con-
structed on what is known as the Foster
system. There are two wires, one for
receiving and the other for sending mes
sages. The batteries are in the cellar OF
the house, eleven dry batteries being used.
Young Hanson claims he caught stray
wireless message one day. 1t was from
the steamer st. Helena of the Hamburg
American line, evidently far out at sea.

| New York.

NEX lUlh. ly stimulated many lines
of retail trade hitherto in
clined to lag, notable in this respect be-
ing heavyweight clothing, shoes, and
rubber footwear, and induced some re-
order business with jobbers, who are
still busy on regular trade. The coal
trade also shows improvement and
some advance in prices, but here car
congestion, especially at the West, is
bar to fullest activity.
The railways seem to keep finding in
creased difficulty in handling the traf-
fic offering, and fears of future great
congestion are expressed.
The price situation as a whole is one
of great strength, Oct. l prices being
at a record level. For the week the
features in speculative circles have been
the slowness of dealings in grain at
small net changes in price. and the
sharp fluctuations of cotton, due to
contradictory advices as to frost dam
age. The strength of the metal mar
kets deserves mention.
Jobbing trade, though of between
seasons character, is very large for the
season. Especial activity is noted here
in wholesale circles in cotton fabrics,
which tend upward on stronger raw
material prices. Spring trade is receiv-
ing increased attention and good or
ders are already -Bradstreet's

HUNGER FOR SPOILS.
CUBAN LIBERALS WANT THE
PUBLIC OFFICES.
Do Not Relish Gov. MagOOn's Policy
that No Officials Shall Be Re-
moved Except for Cause-Money
Lost in Wreck.

The Liberals in Cuba are hungry for
Office, and getting uneasy. They keep
telling Gov. Magoon they want nothing
themselves, but that he must save the
country from the unspeakable moderates
he so far has refused to turn out of of
flee. La Lucia, now a Liberal organ, is
outspoken. 1t says: Sometimes when
one great political party of a nation is
elected to the administrative power the
chief personnel of the offices of the vari-
GUS departments are allowed to remain for
a time, and in some cases, which are rare,
are continued permanently. History never
has recorded an instance in which an I'M
popular and corrupt government, after
having been overthrown by a revolution,
has been allowed to have its chief captains
and lieutenants remain in the administra-
ton of the succeeding government. Such
a liberation would be suicidal to those
who had fought to liberate the country.
1t would render all of their efforts futile
and even worse, for with the same minds
directing the different departments of adj
administrative service the hand of vengeance
would have a continual clutch upon their
Threats. The same animosity would exist
even to an exaggerated degree, and in
short time the country again would be
dragged to perdtion. When one sees in
the DEGREES and on every side that the
same men who were the trustees of the
former secretaries are now serving in
like capacity to the provisional Governor
it provokes the profoundest contempt and
the gravest doubts" That these doubts
Soou will grow tn demands none familiar
with Cuba doubts. The situation is in
teresting because of Secretary Taft'S pol
fey, which Governor Magoon has said he
should follow. 1t is to disturb nobody in
Office except for cause.

STEAL $4,000 FROM BANKER.
Burglars Make Big Haul at Summer
Home of G.. Lewis BOfsseyain.


1t was made known the other night
that the summer home of G. Louis Bots
sevain, situated in the heart of the colony
of wealthy persons at Mount Kiscoe, y.
T. had been robbed of more than $4,000
in jewels and cash. Mr.. Boissevain is
the head of banking house in New York
City. The circumstances attending the
robbery puzzle detectives. There is no
evidence that an entrance was forced into
the house and no ransacking of the place.
Only a small safe secreted in the wall and
holding the jewels had been broken into.
No one can enter the village of Nyack
now after dark without being held up by
an armed officer and compelled to explain
his business. Every outlet of the town Is
being guarded in an effort to capture the
burglars who have been spreading terror
through that and other villages of Rock
land county. In Spring Valley the streets
are patrolled nightly by a self-appointed
vigilance committee. The same condition
of affairs prevails in Tallmans, Suffern,
Pearl River and Piermont. Over seventy
FIVE houses have been robbed since last
August, and in every instance the burg
lars have escaped. 1t is the opinion that
the robberies in Rockland county are the
work of yeggmen. There have been many
evidences of professional work. In some
cases an automobile was undoubtedly used
by the burglars. 1t is estimated that the
burglaries in Rockland county recently
have resulted in the loss of S2O,OOO IN
money and valuables.
