 The gamblers were roughly handled and some of them quite badly hurt, One who refused to give up money he had taken from man from Troy was badly used up. The mob got the rope around his neck, but he managed to throw 1t of, and policeman rushed him into hotel, the windows in which were broken by the mob.

Makes stand Pat Speech.
 DANYILLE, H., Aug IT. - Coinci- dent to the launching of presidential boom, Joseph c. Cannon, speaker of the national house of representatives, was nominated unanimously for an eighteenth term in congress by the Re publican congressional convention of the Eighteenth Illinois district. Gre dentials were voted by the delegates setting forth their unanimous belief that Speaker Cannon Is the Attest can didate of the Republican party for pres ident of the United States.
 Speaker Cannon thanked the dele gates for their indorsement and said that, while he could not seek the nomi- nation for president, no man could re fuse call to such place.
 There were several political rivers to be crossed before the election of a president came up, he said.
 The keynote sounded by Speaker Cannon in his slated address to the convention was to stand pat. He prais- ed the tariff of the Dingley bill. He said that the tariff should be revised only when revision would do more good than harm to the great mass of people. Speaker Cannon said that if he were engaged in toll which gave him the right of membership he would join the ranks of organized labor. He scored the anti-injunction measure which was introduced in congress with the sane | tion of President Gompers of the Amer l ican Federation of Labor. After dis 1 cussing the labor question Speaker | Cannon's address dealt with President Roosevelt, whom he praised unstint | edly.

NO BRIsTLE IN PHILADELPHIA,
Henry James Found There the Only
 Large American City with None.

Philadelphia was the American city of the large type that didn't bristle, says Henry James in the Fortnightly Review; just as I was afterward to recognize in St Louis the nearest approach to companion ship with here in this respect; and to recognize in Chicago the most com plete divergence.
 It was not only that Philadelphia didn't "bristle" then. but that she essentially couldn't and wouldn't ever: that no movement or process could be thought of, in fine. as more foreign to her genius.
 Philadelphia was, beyond any oth- CT American city, a society. and vas going to show as such, as thorough iy confirmed and settled one-which fact became the key to its having no pretext for bristling.
 New York, in that sense, had ap- peared to me then not a society al All. and it was rudimentary that Chi- caeo would be one still less. There had been for Boston the old epigran that she wasn't place, but a state of mind: and that might remain since we kDov how frequently states of mind alter.
 Philadelphia wasn't a place. but shte of consanguinity, which is ar absolute final condition. She had ar rived at 1t, with nothing in the work left to bristIe for. or against; where as New York, and above all Chicag' were only, and most precariously. or inc way to 1t, and indeed. havint started too late, would probably nev CT arrive

SELLS ITS TROLLEYS
New Haven Road Disposes of
 It's Electric Lines. N
MANY MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED.
Proposed Massachusetts Law Against TraAlc Monopoly Apparently the Cause of the SuGden
 Transfer.

BOSTON, Aug. 17-Details of the transfer by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company of street car systems valued at many millions of dollars leaked out in this city, and, although official confirma- tion in railroad circles is lacking, it was learned that the railroad company had taken steps to divest itself of prac- tically all of its street car property in southern New England.' The transfer, which follows closely on the announc- ed intention of the Massachusetts au- thorities to retain in this state control of Massachusetts street railway corpo- rations, has been made to an associa- ton known as the New England Se- curity Investment company.
 According to information obtained here, the transfer is said to involve the street car lines owned by the New Ha- ven road in both Massachusetts and Connecticut, with connecting lines to Rhode Island and New York. A report from New Haven, however, indicated the probability that the Connecticut lines might not figure in the transfer, due, 1t was said, to the fact that un- der the charter of the Consolidated Railway company, holding company of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company, such trans fer would be unnecessary. There was no leading official of the railroad in this city who could state the exact scope of the deal. It was announced unoficially, however, the railroad com pany had disposed of it's entire group of trolley lines, and later this news was confirmed by an undoubted au- thority, with the comment that its pub ncation was premature.
 For over three years the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has been acquiring street railways in the state of Massachusetts md recently the holdings of the com pany reached such proportions thai the matter was made the subject of ypecial message by Governor Guild tc the legislature on the eve of its ad 1ournment last June. Attorney Gen eral Dana Malone also interested him self in the natter, and, acting in ac cordance with the views of the gov ernor, he drafted and submitted to thu legislature a bill intended to prevent continuance in this state of the contro of the trolley car companies by stean railroad systems. A brief considera ton of the matter by the legislativ' committee on street railways brough about the suggestion that a test cas' be made, and the attorney general SC about preparing case which woul' eventually receive ruling from tn Massachusetts supreme court. Whil this case was being prepared the at torney general. desiring certain infor nation in connection with the ca lines owned by the railroad. aske' President Mellen. through Chairman Jackson of the state railroad commis sion. to furnish it to him.
 The information asked for by MI Malone was transmitted to him, an almost simultaneously the fact tha the railroad company had transferre Its holdings became known.

BAD NEGRO LYNCHED
Assaulter of Jennie Brooks Killed at Greenwood, s. 0.
GOVERNORS APPEAL IN VAIN,
Hayward Begs Mob Not to Do vio- lence, but Negro's Body h Rid- died With Hundreds of
 Bullets.

COLUMBIA, s. O., Aug. 17.-Within the shadow of the home of his victim, Miss Jennie Brooks, after having been identified by her and after Governor D. c. Hayward, who went to the scene of the trouble. had addressed the mob in vain, Bob Davis, the negro who on Monday murderously attacked Miss Brooks with intent to commit assault and who afterward outraged negro girl fourteen years old, was lynched at Greenwood.
 Governor Hayward reached the scene shortly after the negro had been captured. A platform was erected in fence corner on the premises of the victims father, from whiqe platform Governor Hayward addressed the mob in an effort to prevent the lynching. The governor beseeched the mob not | to lynch Davis, but in vain. At the conclusion of his speech the governor was vociferously cheered. The mob 1 then removed the prisoner from the l view of the governor, and within a | short distance of the home of his vic | tim the negro was riddled with bull lets.
 | It is impossible to estimate the | crowd, as citizens from several coun- ties had gathered at the scene and for two days had been in pursuit of the negro, but it is certain that hundreds of bullets were sent through his body. The militia in that section of the state is now encamped at Chickamauga, and there were no nearby troops to De called upon. The governors guards and the Richland volunteers of this city had been ordered to hold them. selves in readiness in the event that their services were needed, but the mob was determined.
 The assault by Davis on Miss Brooks was made in her fathSr's store. where she was temporarily in charge. Aftel making some purchases the negro grasped meat knife, shouting, "Yor are what I want" and sprang toward the girl. Miss Brooks attempted to de fend herself with an iron bar, but thu negro slashed her across the throat making a gash four inches long ant almost severed two of her fingers. Aft erward he went three miles to anothe farm and outraged fourteen-year-olt negress. A posse of thousand mel started in pursuit of the negro sool after the outrage at the Brooks stor
 and finally captured him near Ninety six. town nine miles from Green
