The mob began gathering at shutdown.
mayor Boyden promptly ordered the sa-
looms closed, and with other prominent
citizens, United States Senator OVerman
Judge Long, who was to try the negroes
ana Solicitor Hammer, gathered on the
JAN steps and addressed the crowd which
at that time numbered 1900. There were
hoWls and cat calls from the mob, but
Tor a time there was no moVe-the mob
lacked a leader. While citizens were ap-
.peallng to the mob two men slipped
through the crowd and attempted to
break in the Jail doors with hammers
They were discovered and arrested About
O'Clock Mayor BOyden called upon the
local military company for aid. They as
sembled quickly, but were supplied only
with blank cartridges, having no orders
TO shoot TO kill. Fireman McLendon of
Charlotte, Southern Railway employe
was shot and fatally wounded by men,
Der of the mob. VIII TrOutman, a negro
drayman, was also shot and seriously
wounded.
Both of the shootings are claimed to
have been accidental.
Jail Doors Rushed.
At 10 o'clock the mob was augmented
by fully 800 men, who came it is said
from Whitney. 1t was but a few minutes
after their arrival when a crowd of fifty
forming sort of flying wedge made a
rush for the Jail doors, overpowered the
officers and effected an entrance. The
great crowd outside sIrged in behind the
leaders and in a few moments more
emerged from the door with their victims
and marched nOrthward.
A halt was made at Henderson's ball
grounds, on the edge of the town. There
the negroes were given time to confess
the crime. They refused either to deny
or confess and were so thoroughly fright
ened as almost to have lost the power of
speech. John Gillespie wept piteously
and begged for his life. Finally at mid
night the three were strung up TO the
limbs Of one tree, and with hoWls and
curses the crowd -iddled the dangling
bodies with bullets. The mob then dis |
persed.
George Erwin was taken from the Jail !
with his associates and closely questioned |
Then the mob led him back to his cell.
Plead With the Mob.
Ed Barber. a relative of the murdered
man, followed the mob with the prisoners |
TO the scene of the lynching and pleaded |
with them 10 return the negroes to the |

dollars and with the whereabouts of two
of its highest officials unknown to the
authorities, the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank, one of the largest outlying banks
IN the city, was closed today by State
Bank Examiner G. G. Jones.
The failure was responsible for the
death OF one OF the depOSitors and led to
the suicide of another man, who a month

merous were the cases of pTostrationS.

highest this afternoon, which is record
tor this year. 1t was much hotter in
the streets. and some thermometers re-
corded as high as 1G2 degrees. The hu-
nudity was excessive. Thousands of ten
ement house jewellers could not endure
TO stay in their crowded homes and de-
serted them for the time being for the
city parks and the seashore, where they
will sleep tonight in the open. The curb
brokers in Broad street were obliged TO
suspend business because of the fierce
ness of the suns rays. Special arrange

Stewart Admits RESPONSIBILITY.

Dr. Stewart told Assistant County At
torney Hanson yesterday that he himself,
not his Subordinates, was responsible for
garbage being dumped in Horseshoe bend,
and it was this admission that made Mr..
Hanson determine to have him arrested.
The people of the neighborhood are de
termined that the nuisance shall be
abated.
1t is likely that the whole matter will
be threshed out before Justice Smith. The
warrants for Margetts and others, issued
Saturday, were sworn out before Justice
F. NJ. Bishop of Waterloo. The defend
ants appeared in court yesterday morn
ing and indicated their intention to move
for a change of venue. The matter was
finally continued until 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon, when the defendants will prob
ably make their plea and file their affi-
davit for change of venue.

Is Debated in the Council.

The incapacity of the health depart
ment came before the city council last
night and was debated at some length.
Councilman f. S. Fernstrom introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas the health department is
dumping manure and other refuse on the
city's dumping ground west of the Jordan
river, and the city is now employing men
TO bury the same to prevent insanitary
stencil or fire, it Is now charged by per-
sons living in the immediate vicinity that
the men who are employed by the city
to prevent fire are the ones who set fire
to the same; therefore,
BE il resolved. That the sanitary COM
nnittee be at once instructed to investigate
these charges. and if found true, that the
men thus employed be discharged and.
BE it further resolved, That the COM
mittee be instructed to report as soon as
possible as to who is responsible for the
terrible nuisance created by dumping
swill. etc. between Tenth and Eleventh
West and Third and Fourth South streets,
known as the Horseshoe bend. by the
citys garbage teams. This is the most
disgraceful thing ever perpetrated by the
city, and some extreme measures should
be instituted against the parties respOn-
Sible for the same"

FernStTOm made strong speech in sup
port of his resolution He said that a
reputable man living near the west side

swear that he had seen Joseph Melen. a
city employe set fire to the garbage. The
fire department, he declared. was unwill-
ing further to respond to calls to put out
the fire, because it would be Immediately
started again.
Regarding the dump over which the
city officials have been arrested. Fern
strom declared that he had inspected il
personally, and that it was vile and filthy
beyond description. Residents who had
complained about it, he said, had been
insulted by employees of the health de-
partment. He vigorously denounced the
department for dumping garbage there
and said its conduct was utterly without
excuse
O'Donnell and Holiday both made talks
defending the department. O'Donnell said
that some of the proteStantS had had
garbage dumped on their own lots at
their request. He presented an alleged or
fer signed by Beless & Lee, owners of the
property to let the city dump garbage
there and to release all claims for dam
ages. Councilman ]. H. Preece promptly
retorted that the health department had
no right to perpetrate a nuisance even
If the property owners were willing.
Resolution Is Referred.
The resolution was finally referred 10
the sanitary committee. Mr. Black OBJ
jected to that portion of it which directed
the committee to investigate the matter
now pending in the courts.

Black. "and l don't want to butt into the
courts"

Stewart be given the floor to explain the

DR. Stewart did not have the chance to
talk.
