 One mans testimony before the jury yesterday gave in detail the death scene of Capt Quentin Rankin. When he had been pulled up once by the rope, the night riders let him down and told him they would give him five minutes in which to pray. he told them he did not need the five minutest prayer for himself, as he had been praying for twenty years. When they again made their generous offer. he again de- clined. buc he said he would give that five minutes to tn em, as they needed 1t and he did not. They again pulled him up by the rope, made the rope fast and left him.

Nave
Numerown Recommendations M
 Reem Made on Sundries.

Washington, Nov, 29.-Numerous rec concentrations have been made for the revision of the tariR schedule on sum dries. which was discussed at the House Ways and Means Committee hearing Saturday. IL is strongly urged that in the readjustment of the tarth. curtains and fringes composed wholly, or in part, of beads or spangles. be in- cluded in the paragraph providing @ duty on beads.
 Compositions used for fuel in which coal or coal dust is the chief compo- nent material. also will be specially provided for. These coal products are at present dutiRbie. Manufactures of cork, artificial cork and granulated cork. will be added to thes paragraph imposing a duty or cork bark.
 It Is proposed to impose on emeralds, rubies and sapphires the same duty now imposed on diamonds.
 Leather goods are to he more speci- hcally enumerated, separating manu- factured articles of leather from the provision for leather. and also making specific provision for raw hide ar ticles.
 In view of the efforts being made to secure the admission as paintings at a low rate of duty. of photographs, and calendars, which have been passed over with brush, a pro- viso has been suggested, excluding paintings, so-ealled. made wholly or in part by stencilling or other mechanical nrncasa
