Rochester Railroad Closed.

General Manager John r. Topper OF the
Rochester railroad received a notice from
Chairman Fuller c. Smith of the state
railroad commission Saturday that an
order would soon issue, probably not
later than Sept. 17th, ordering the road
closed on account OF its being unsafe.
Mr.. Topper was given this early notice
that he might make has arrangements and
get the line cleared OF all cars.
Although this action of the state board
had been somewha expected, vet it
comes as a great blow to the industries OF
the White River valley. Many lumber
owners have large stock OF manufactured
lumber ready for shipment. The tale
mines at Rochester are seriously incUn-
venienced. The Fisher tannery at Bethel
have a spur track from the Rochester
road running into their yard and do all
their business over the Rochester line.
j. NJ. Congdon of the Fisher Co. went to
st. Adams the first of the week to see IL
arrangements could not be made with the
Central Vermont to do shifting from the
Central Vermont Line onto the tannery
spur.
The Boston Herald in its last Sunday
edition quotes an official OF the Rochester
road as saying that the unsafe condition
OF the road is due to the failure OF towns
along the line 10 pay subsidy for its
maintenance, and that wnen Il was
built towns along the line agreed to con-
tribute fixed sum each year for its sup
port. II further states that recently
some have refused to pay and the trestles
and bridges which have been damaged
have not been repaired owing to lack of
funds.
This is not as it is understood here. II
is here understood that Rochester, Stock
bridge, Pittsheld and Hancock voted
lump sums for the road on certain condi-
tions, and that these towns have refused
to pay these lump sums alleging that the
conditions had not been ia filed. Suits
have been brought against these towns
and are now pending in court. A yearly
sum for maintenance Is a new idea to peo-
pie in thus vicinity.
The board of railroad commissioners
issued an order closing this road to all
traffic Monday at midnight. The order
was not made Immediately effective in
order to give an opportunity to remove
from the line freight ears belonging to
other lines. The last train came down
Tuesday and that night the engine re-
turned to Rochester and the men were laid
off. IL is understood that this order was
not made as a result OF petitions but be-
cause the board had determined from its
own investigations and from the report OF
Engineer Charles F. Stoweii that the road
bed was in an unsafe condition.
1t is reported that negotiations are on
foot looking towards the settlement OF the
suits brought by the railroad to enforce
the payment OF the subsidies granted BY
the towns, a compromise settlement to be
made with guaranty on the part Of the
railroad that the road be put in good. safe
condition and operated.

DIMES CATHOLIC CARDINALS
Ambassador Whites Function in
Honor of Archbishop Ireland
Marks Important Departure.

Rome, April 26.-For the first time
since the fall of the temporal power
members of the college of Cardinals
Wednesday night attended a function
given by diplomat accredited to the
Quirinal. The occasion was dinner
given by Mr.. White, the American am
bassador to Italy, and Mrs. White, IN
honor of Archbishop Ireland, and the
cardinals who were guests were Vim
cenzo Vannuetelli, Satolli, Matthew
and Martinelli.
Among the other guests were Mrs.
Wettmore, wife of the United States
senator from Rhode Island. The din
ner was originally set for last week,
but was postponed on account of the
San Francisco disaster, and for the
same reason the after dinner reception
at the embassy which had been
planned was omitted. The presence Of
the four cardinals at Mr. Whites table
is regarded as an augury OF approach
ing good feeling between the Vatican
and the Quirinal.

Enormity of Crime Arouses Anger of
People and Culprit Is Taken from
Jail After Deputy Sheriff Is Bound
by Leaders of Mob.

Dallas, Tex, April 26.-News of a
lyching at Oakwoods has reached this
city. The dispatches report that a
negro was burned at the stake and
that as he writhed amid the flames
the members of the mob amused them
selves by firing rifle bullets in an eff
fort to cut off an ear or blot out an
eye and thus increase the torture he
suffered. The firing did not cease
until the victim sank unconscious in
the flames. The negro had broken
into the house of a woman who had
lived alone and fought desperate bat
tie with her. His crime was discov-
cred and a possee was formed quickly
to capture him. The hunt was success
the local calaboose to await transfer
to Palestine.
Crime Stirs Citizens.
At first the enormity of the crime
was not generally known, and the
citizens were inclined to let the law
take its course. Soon after the negro
was locked up, however, the citizens
learned he had entirely disrobed be-
fore entering the woman's house.
They learned, too, that his victim was
in critical condition as a result of
his attack. Her death appeared to be
imminent.
Bind Deputy Sheriff.
When this news was noised around
threats of lynching were made on all
sides. The deputy sheriff became
alarmed and fastened to perfect plans
to take the prisoner to the county seat.
Before the deputy could get the pris-
oner out of town, however, small
crowd of determined men armed with
rifles confronted him and demanded
the negro. The deputy refused to sur
render him. Thereupon the officer was
seized and pinioned and the mob Sc
cured the prisoner. AS 1t left the
calaboose the mob released the deputy
Chained to Iron Rail.
The negro was taken to spot Sc

piece of railroad rail that had been
driven firmly into the ground A fire
was built around his feet. The wood
had been soaked with kerosene and
the oil made bright blaze. BY the
light of the flames the mob aimed its
rifles at the captive and fired repeated
ly. Before the torch was applied il
is said the negro confessed, but begged
his captors not to murder him. Feel
ing runs high against the negroes as
a result of the attack of the mob''
victim. A race war is not an i'm
probable outcome, as the blacks are
equally aroused by the swift ven
geance taken by the mob.
