largest fine ever assessed against a
corporation. nearly S2,000,000, was
enacted in spectacular manner this

counted.
The fine, s1,S0S,753.s5, was paid

Empress Eugenie's Wedding Day.

Even on her wedding day, the En-

May. The market women of Paris
spYesented her with a mountain OF
piolets on the day of her marriage
to Louis Napoleon. Miss Morris
says:
And those market women-they
boiled over! They yelled and push

dens. They screeched and screamed
]. for the empress, until at last a win
dow opened, and Eugene stepped out
on the balcony, and ever eager to
please, she held in her hands great
mass of the violets the market wo-
men had sent her.

everybody stopped fighting to laugh.
And they laugh and laugh, and wipe

BALL CLUB SORE.
Peculiar and Unfortunate Disagree
ment at Furlnan.

Greenyille, April 2z.-The ball
game scheduled for this afternoon
between Furman and Trinity was not
played on account of Furman's hav-
ing become piQued at the faculty IN
it's action over the Furman boys go
ing to Spartanburg Wednesday on
the early morning train instead OF
waiting for the 2 O'Clock train as
ordered. In consequence of their
disobedience all members of the
Furman team were penalized in their
monthly marks, and the resignation
of manager asked for.
Concerning the trouble Prof. B. E.
Geer this afternoon said:
"The members of the ball team
had been notified that they must at
tend classes Wednesday morning and
permission had been given for the
boys to go to Spartanburg on the 2
O'Clock train. Instead the team left
at 9 O'Clock contrary to instructions
and when they came back the resig-
nation of the manager of the team
was asked for. by the faculty and
each offending student penalized 10
points on all monthly marks"
Prof. Geer further stated that all
members of the faculty urged the
boys to play Trinity this afternoon,
but the team appeared to be obdur-
ate, refusing point blank to enter the
game, Instead of playing the univer-
;stty boys raised the 500 forfeit,
which naturally went to Trinity. 1t
is not known whether Furman will
play any more games this season or
not.

ALABAMA MOB HANGS NEGRO.
Confessed Rapist is Lynched Near
BeSSemer.

Birmingham, Ala, April 25.-
John Thomas, a negro, was quietly
lynched by a small crowd Of men
about one mile below Bessemer to-
night at 9 o'clock. The negro was be-
ing taken to jail In Bessemer when
he was overtaken by citizens, who
made short work Of the prisoner by
hanging him to tree in the woods.
After the hanging the crowd quietly
went back to their homes.
Thomas committed criminal as
sault upon a lady near Parkwood,
about noon to-day. The news spread
rapidly and the citizens began the
pursuit. The negro was found near
the scene OF the crime late this aft.
ernoon, at the home Of a farmer fol
whom he worked. He was taken be-
fore the JUSTICE of the peace and a
warrant was sworn out for him. The
citizens, numbering probably not
more than a dozen, took the negro
before his victim, who positively
identified him. Her two children
also identified the negro. There had
up to this time, been no open evi-
dences Of violence, and a well known
farmer named Andy Roy, started
with the negro for Bessemer.
All went well until Roy and his
prisoner got within about a mile OF
Bessemer. Here they were over
taken by the citizens. Thomas finally
confessed to the crime, and said he
did~not mind going to Jail, where he
had served several years, and that he
did not mind going back. He only
asked them to spare his life. The
response was a rope, and he was
swinging to a tree the next moment.
The body is still swinging in the
high wind at midnihgt, and the coro-
ner states that he will make an inves-
tigation tomorrow.
