groes, beneath the spot where they had been lynched.
 Following the dispatch of Duncan and Copeland some one suggested that Allen and Bus Cain, two other negroes known to be in the jail should also be lynched. The mob. now blood thirsty and wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement readily took up the cry, and soon the charred bones of third victim lay beneath the statue of the Goddess of Liberty.
 When the mob left the jail at mid night with Copeland and Duncan fourteen prisoners escaped in the ex- citement. Among them was Cain But Allen was captured. He was dragged out his hands Were tied behind his back, a rope was put around his necx. and he was marched down the stree- to the tower in the square.
 THE TRIAL.
 Two men climbed up the iron stair way and stood upon the platform with Allen between them. one of these men held a lantern in his hand, faced the crowd below and waving his hand to- ward the negro said:
 Ladies and gentlemen: This is Will Allen. the man who murdered old man Ruark. What shall We do with him?"
 Hang him." cried the crowd.
 Throw him overheard" Gan any one identify this nigger?' asked the spokesman.
 Hold up the lantern" some one shouted. The man put the lantern up so it shone into the face of the negro and some in the crowd said: Yes. I identify him. Hang him"
 this tho cYov-1 1o,rh.I
 Are you Will Allen?" asked the orator.
 Yes, but I didn't kill Ruarb," he answered.
 Well who did?"
 "I only know what heard; that Bus Cain killed him." the negro answered.
 Make him spit it out; make him confess" the crowd shouted.
 The man with the lantern shouted again: "Is this nigger guilty? Yes or mo-"
 Some one shouted yes" others cried mo"
 The mob was undecided. While the crowd was debating the second man on the platform began tying a rope to the iron railing.
 THE HORRIBLE FINISH.
 The negro stood quietly above the '''''AN'iii HIS Sioll iltap lIbIil Wnicn the smell of burning flesh arose But he stood erect while the man harangued the crowd and the crowd jeered at the negro. In the meantime the rope had been placed about Aliens neck and presently the hangman caught the negro's ankles and threw him forward over the railing. Allen turned q somersault in the air and as the rope came taut his neck cracked like pis- tol shot
 The rope broke and he fell into the bed of coals bn top of the other two negroes There he kicked and floun- dered around until another rope was brought, thrice Iooped around the neck and he was again suspended in mid air. More boxes were brought and q big fire was kindled and soon the swaying figure fell into it, sending up an arrowy spray of live sparks. After that most of the men went home but some men and boys stayed by the tow CT all night and fed the fire. When daylight broke upon the scene there remained only the blackened trunks and charred remains of the three ne groes.

AN IMPORTANT ACT
a NEW LAW AFFE CITING BLIND
TIGERS IN THIS STATE.
Revenue Licenses Can Hereafter be
Used against Them in the
State Courts.

The Columbia Record says collecto!
Micah Jenkins OF the internal revenue
office at Columbia has received frcn
the treasury department. at Washing.
ton a copy OF very inportant~ &C,
passed by the recent congress that will
affect the testimony given by prosecu-
tors in blind tiger cases. It should be
explained that all or nearly all, blind
tigers secure retail liz 1or license
from the government before they at
tempt to violate the State dispansary
law.
The government would not permit
the book containing the list Of ncen.
ses to be exhibited In the State courts,
holding that the government had ex.
elusive Jurisdiction over the govern.
ment books and also holding that gov.
ernment officials should not be allowed
to testify In the State courts concern
ing the licenses issued. AS a result
State officials In States OF counties
where the sale OF Whiskey was prohib.
tied, could never obtain prima facie
evidence from the government that
would be admitted In any court. Some
Of the congressman from the western
States, however, got together and had
the following act passed:
That chapter three Of the revised
statues OF the Uaited States be and
hereby Is amended in section 3,240 SO
as to read:
Each collector Of internal revenue
shall, under regulations by the COM
missioner Of internal revenue, place
snd keep conspic ~ously In his Office, fo1
public inspection, an alphabetical list
OF all persons who shall have paid
special taxes IN bis district, and snail
state thereon the time, place and bus
iness tor which such special taxes shall
have been paid, and upon application
Of any prosecuting officer OF any State,
county OF municipality he. shall fur
aish certified copy thereof as OF q
public record for which q fee OF one
dollar for each hundred words or frac-
0ion thereof In the copy OF copies re-
oussted shall be charged
This means that the State cfaoials
mere interested In the suppression OF
she bllnd tigers may obtain from the
collector OF internal revenue certified
copies Of al those who have obtained
government lceases and that as they
practically contain the seal Of the gov
srnnent may be introduced in any
court In the State and thus become an
instrument for conviction OF the Law
oresker. The ofacs In Columbia has
aot yet received any requests for Ger.
titled copies Of the LIST OF Icen;e hold
srs in South Carolina probabiy because
the Law is not generally known, but it,
will not be long before this kind Of
evidence will be used in tine State
courts. No change has been made In
that section OF the act forbiddiDg gov
ernmenu revenue officers from testify.
