Mayfield Ky, July 8l.-The hanging OF
Allen Mathis the negro who oriminally
assaulted Miss Ethel Mccain last
wednesday night, took place at o'clock
tonight in legal manner In the yard of
the county jail. Fully ten thousand peo-
pie were on the scene. but only a few
hundred could see the execution although
almost the entire fence surrounding the
hourt house had been torn down by the
enraged citizens while the trial was go
ing on.
It was only fifty minutes from the time
the jury was sworn in until the negro
was pronounced dead.
Mathis was carried up stairs in the big
court room before Judge Bugg who was
in readiness, and at 7:15 O'Clock the jury
had been selected and sworn in. The
Judge then asked the negro If he had
anything to say. He said:
Il want some one to pray for me-
The court appointed w. S. Foy. one
of the local attorneys to represent the de-
fendant, and after a minute or two of
consultation. it was agreed that Mathis
should plead guilty.

not gnilty?' he responded:
Guilty"
The jurors were ordered to their room,
and after being out twenty minutes, they
returned a verdict of guilty, fixing pun
lshment at death.
Mathis arrived here at $40 o'clock to-
night from Louisville In charge of Deputy
Sheriffs Oscar Elmore and John Gallo

hnsville. The local militia met the train
and the negro was marched to the court
house. Several attempts were made to
seize the negro and he was twice in the
possession Of the infuriated mob.
The soldiers quickly surrounded the ne
gro and a number of member of the Hop
hnsville company were compelled to draw
their guns and threaten to use them un-
less the mob fell back.
The negro would have met his death by
lynching but the crowd decided to let the
law inflict the punishment after it had
proceeded that far
The largest number of people ever seen
on the streets of Mayfield are here to-
night, and there is rumor that another ne
gro in jail from Hickman county charged
with the same offense will be lynched.

AFFECTS THE WHOLE SOUTH
All Through Rates Will Have to be
Readjusted 100 Mile Tickets
VIII Sell for $50
This Fall

Philadelphia, July 81. Important
changes in passenger rates were an
nounced today by Fourth Vice President
John B. Thayer of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, following meeting of the board OF
directors of that corporation. The COM
pany has decided to reduce the maximum
one-way fare from 31A and cents to "a
cents mile.
This action will involve a readjustment
of all through rates from the south. and
owing to the vast amount of work en-
tailed by reason of the change, the new
rate of fare will not become operative
for some time, probably November /. II
is assumed that the competing lines which
reach New York by way of Cincinnati
and Louisville will meet the Pannsyl-
vania Railroad company's reduction by
readjustment of fares so that all south
ern passenger traffic whether by way of
Washington. Cincinnati or Louisville, will
be on an equal basis.
1000 Mile Tickets for $40
The company will also on September
place on sale 100O-mIle tickets. valid on its
lines east of Pittsburg and Erie at the
flat price OF so. These mileage tickets
will be transferable. No change is to
be made In the price of the interchange
able mileage tickets now sold by the
company, which are not transferable and
upon which n deposit of $40 above the
regular price is required. 1t is estimated
that 10000 Interchangeable mileage
books are presented daily on the various
roads and OF this number 65 per cent are

President Thayer, speaking today of the
change, said:
Discussed for Year.
"This reduction of fares has been the
subject OF serious consideration for a
year past The company has expended
large sums to build relief lines upon
which freight trains should be moved.
that this class of traffic might be d.
verted from the present main lines, and
thus secure less liability of delay 10
the companys largely increased passen-
ger service. The company has believed
that the time would come when much
larger traffic could be handled prohtaby
with a reduction of present rates of
fare.
I'm view of the pending litigation at
Harrisburg, concerning the interchange
able mileage ticket. II was deemed adj
visable that the announcements of the
company's purpose I'm this regard should
be deferred until the decision Of that
case, which it had been confidently ex-
pected would have been reached before

case cannot be decided until late In the
