TWO LYhCHEO IN GEORGIA
NEGROES PAY PENALTY FOR A
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
Young Girl Victim Dies-One
Prisoner Hanged and the Other
Shot to Death.

WAY CROSS. Ga, June 27-Just at
shutdown this afternoon two negroes were
lynched by mob of at least 1000 per-
sons. The 1ynching occurred on the east
ern outskirts of the city. The negroes
were Walter Wilkins and Albert Baker.
who were brought here this morning from
Wayne county, one of them charged with
assaulting the fOurteen-year-o daughter
OF Mr.. Wiley Wainwright Thursday
evening
The negroes were lodged in the Ware
county Jail during the day. and late this
afternoon were taken out by Wayne coun-
ty officers for the purpose of carrying
them to Jesup for safekeeping. Suddenly
a rush was made and dozen hands
clasped each officer and his gun
The negroes were jerked across the rail-
road track and a hundred persons bounced
upon them, others still holding the guards
Through the wire fence of the railroad
the mob showed the negroes and then
started in a run across College Hill.
For nearly half mile they continued to
the first oak tres in the old Cherokee nur-
sery. Here an attempt was made to
break the handouts which held the me-
groes together, but without avail.
Hanged With Trace Chain.
No one had rope, but a heavy trace
chain which was locked around one of the
negroes was broken apart and a loop was
soon made around his neck Some one
mounted the tree, and from the first
limb caught the end of the chain, tying
it around the limb. while others held the
| alleged assailant Of the girl up from the
ground. He was then turned loose, his
feet about two feet from the ground The
| other negro, still handcuffed to the body
Of the hanging man, stood with hands
clasped around the tree The mob, STEP
ping back about ten PAGES. opened fire
upon the men, hundreds of shots being
fired into the bodies.
Many tried to prevent the killing Of the
| negro, who was clasping the tree, there
being much doubt about his connection
with the outrage. Nothing could be done
with the en-aged mob
After the lynching the mob dispersed.
| The crime occurred near the home of
Wiley Wainwright Thursday night.
The negro Albert Baker was arrested
yesterday morning and carried before the
girl for identification. He was with sew
eral other negroes at the time,. and she
readily pointed him out.

oevotees OF the Sport Largely Of the
Germanic Element.

From the Boston Transcript
The eleventh annual congress OF the
North American Skat League has gath
cred together nearly 1000 players from
wide-ranging states to participate In q
tournament, $1,000 in gold being the
first prize. That the game has estab-
llshed itself in this country firmly and
thoroughly enough to boast a league
nearly a dozen years old and large
enough to send thousands OF players TO a
hot city in June is surprising to the
average individual. liker Of games though
he may be. 1t is rather the custom
when skat is mentioned to dispose Of it
as that German game. quite too diff
ficult Tor an ordinary mind I prefer

While the devotees OF skat are largely
to be found in the Germanic element OF
the population. it is steadily creeping
into favor with the general public Man
ualS of instruction are on the market
and instructors in the merry art arc not
far to seek. modern game as COM
pared with whist. skat has nearly a cen
fury behind 1t. Foster traces its his
tory from the Wendish game OF schaf-
kopf which was a favorite with Thur
ingen farmers. LAS the story goes. the
game Of schafkopf first came to the nd
tice Of polite society in 1911. An en-.
thusiastic card player who resided IN
Altenburg. and who was a member Of
the Tarok Club, had occasion to send his
coachman to a small town In the Sachsis-
chen Erzhirges. During the trip the
coachman learned the Wendish game
from some of the peasants along the
road. Knowing his masters predilectjpn
for card games. the coachmAn explained
schafkopf to him on his return. and the
master thought well enough Of II TO in
duce some of his friends to give II Q
trial"
Many of the plays in skat are derived
from the ancient Italian game OF tarok.
played in Germany as early as the six
teenth century. and its very name was
a term employed in the older game, be-
ing derived from "scartare," to discard.
and '.scatola.'' a box. The name In still
spelled scat in some German publica-
tions and the word "matadoree" gives
further proof Of its Italian lineage. Lit
tie probably remains OF the game the
German coachman taught his master.
for the variations and alterations in
PRODUCED have been many. and have not
Yet ceased. The New York players are
now contending for the ratification OF
their values on certain games. while the
Skat League and compromise division
propose the official Endorsement OF two
other values. A duplicate skat tourna-
ment is talked of. and perhaps would go
far toward settling these disputed points
as. obviously. luck is entirely elimi-
mated from such a contest. Its conf
pIexities once mastered, skat has ons
great advantage over whist In being an
excellent game for three people. oelne
probably the best tri-cornered arrange
ment at cards now known.

How Maine Bankers Hid Their
Money.
From the Lewiston Journal.


For two years. from 1872 TO 1914. the
treasure of all the banks OF the Forest
City lay in the parlor of the Marretf
house in Standish village. and as evidence
of the fact today upon the parlor door can
be seen the huge lock which was placed
there nearly century ago to add safe
guard to the treasure. -
During the war of 1872 the bankers OF
Portland thought their treasure was In
danger of being looted by the British
forces and in casting about for safe
place their choice fell upon the town OF
Standish and the Marrett house as a de-
postory for the treasure. Loaded upon a
six-ox cart and guarded closely. tue
money, thousands of dollars of il. wAa
transported sixteen miles and deposited
i'm the place OF safety. where IL remained
for two years with guard OF but one
man to watch II.
The door of the parlor in which the
money was placed was reinforced by
heavy lock having brass handle. and
extra supports were placed under the floor
OF the room to sustain the enormous
weight of wealth. The house is still
owned by descendants OF the Rev. Mr..
Marrett and is of the oldest OF the

AROUND THE CITY

1t was between acts, and as the band
space was filled in with green's instead OF
musicians, the chatter Of matinee girls
was like unto a sparrow convention in a

The one interesting male exhibit was a
boy who made many trips down the aisles
with a waiter heaped with pink pyramids
on wooden saucers. On each return trip
the waiter was empty and so many NATL

tin spoons.
And the way they talked. And the
things they talked about!

The Return of the Maine,

There is d new reason to remember
which bears the name of our State. as
the successor of the cruiser now sink
ing in the mud of Havana harbor, has
the proud distinction of being the first
of the great battleship fleet to reach
home waters and also of being the first
vessel of her class which has ever
circumnavigated the globe. Her crew
finds in this pleasure and glory some
compensation for missing the good time
which their mates are now having in
hOspitable Yokohama However, they
have had enough fun for one voyage
and must he glad to get home again
The evidence of seaworthiness shown
by the Maine cannot fail to be a
source Of pride and qualification. For
that matter. the feat of the whole fleet
in riding out a Pacific typhoon last
week without serious INJURY is in itself
of sufficient value to be worth the trip
which was at first SO much criticised
The Maine is the first steel battleship
that has ever been welcomed at the
I<ittcry navy yard. and it is especially
fitting that the big battleship, after
circling the globe should come directly
to the coast of the state whose name
she bears. No doubt Portsmouth will
try to steal the credit as usual, but
Though the Maine is the first of the
new battle line to reach the old Kit
terry navy yard. steel cruisers, notably
the Columbia and the Yankee. almost
as long as battleship, have safely as
cended the Piscataqua and moored at
the Naval piers. The natural channel
from the open sea to the naval station
is one Of the deepest harbors in the
world, the charts showing at least 40
feet at mean low water But for the
sharp turn at Portsmouth Narrows
this would have been the most access

sons Point was cut away-though

drawing almost as much water as an
