THE wHIP-PooR-wILL.

We travelled thro' the soundless night
And breathed the fragrant June,
Tumultuous fragrance, flooded bright
With an unwaning moon;
Till from the whitened field the wood
Rose dark along the HILL
And there with sudden JOY we stood
To hear thee, whip-poor-will!
o Bird, o Wonderi Long and high
Thy measured question calls!
1 marvel, till thy perfect cry
Almost too perfect falls.
What are thou singing, voice divine,
Heart of the poignant night9
What utter loveliness is thine,
OF suffering or delight?
Delight too lovely, all but pain,
Would thy frail spirit pour?
Would sorrow, in thy perfect strain,
Be joy forevermore2
Thou hadst no answer but thy song
Clear as the soft June light,
Sweet as the fragrant earth, and long
AS that immortal night.

TOWN is SWEPT BY FIRE.
Three Hundred Buildings at Three
Rivers, Que, Are Destroyed.

Three Rivers, Que.-A fire which
broke out shortly before noon Mon
day in stable was not checked until
the greater part of the lower town,
containing the business section, was
consumed. Then with the assistance
of firemen from Montreal, Quebec,
Sherbrooke and Grand Mere it was
held in check.
Almost every building of any con-
sequence in that section of the city
was destroyed, including the postof-
fee, the city hall, every hotel with
one exception, the fine building of the
Hochelaga bank and almost all of the
leading stores. Over 800 buildings
were burned The narrow streets of
the town and the inflammable nature
of many of the buildings in the path
of the fire rendered the task of the
firemen an almost impossible che.
Among the buildings burned besides
those mentioned above are: st.
James Anglican church, the oldest
Anglican church building in Canada.
and the Roman Catholic church. The
loss is over $1,O00,000 and is well in.
sured.

Two Defendants Are Convicted; Two
Others Are Cleared.

Washington, D. C.-Guilty, Fred
erick A. Hyde, Joost H. Schneider.
Not guilty, John A. Benson, Henry
p. Dimond.

of them, Benson, a millionaire real
estate operator, for alleged conspir-
acy to defraud the government out of

peals. The maximum penalty for the
offense on which they are held by the
jury is Imprisonment of two years, or
$4,000 fine, or both.

ters. He was sentenced to ten
months Imprisonment and his appeal

Nine NEGROES ARE LYNCHED
MOB OF TEXANS AVENGEs THE
MuREDR OF TWO WHITES.
Five Negroes Are Taken From Jail
and Hanaed-Four Others Were
Shot to Death.

Houston, Tex. - During Sunday
night nine negroes met death
at the hands of mob in the vicinity
of Hemphill, Sabine county. Monday
both races secured arms and the ten.
sion is such that race clash appears
imminent.
The lynching followed the killing
of two white men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several 9th.
er white men visited a negro church
and school house where a dance was
in progress. presumably in quest Of
the negroes to sell whisky during the
progress of such affairs. During the
evening Dean was killed and six ne.
groes were held for the killing. Al
the preliminary examination the evi
dence tended to show that plot was
formed at the dance to kill Dean.
Saturday last Aaron NJ. Johnson, q
prominent farmer, was assassinated
while seated at the dinner table with
his wife and child, the bullet being
fired through n window. For this
crime Perry Price, negro, was ar
rested and it is said confessed, i'm.
plicating Robert Wright, a relative OF
one of the negroes held for Deans
murder. Price declared he was of
fered So to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of the
mob, the overpowering of the iailer al
Hemphill and the lynching of the six
negroes held for the murder of Dean
Five were hanged to the same tree,
while another attempted to escape and
was shot to death. Later in the night
William Mccoy, another negro, was
shot and killed while standing at the
gate of the Johnson home and Monday
morning the bodies of two more ne
groes were found in the creek bottom.
