With a view to constructing ma

organized in Bristol, Tenn, the Bristol

Startling evidence Of the pernicious
activity OF foreign spies is in the pos
session Of the RAINY general staff,
which accounts for the serious con-
sideration that is now being given to
the most trifiing report at attempts to
discover the military secrets of the
country. Some OF these incidents are
OF comparatively recent date, and 1t
was upon the submission Of such In
formation to a secret session of the
judicial committee of the house that
legislation was secured at the last ses-
sion of congress providing for the Sc
we're punishment of spies in time of
peace.

MOB BURNS NEGRO.
VICTIM or NORTHERN LYNcHERs
HAD KILLED A SPECIAL
POLICEMAN.
WAS TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL
Wounded Black, Strapped to a Hospi'
tai Cot, Was Placed on a
Fire.

Coatesville, Pa.-Zachariah Walker,
negro desperate, was carried on a
cot from the hospital here and burn
ed to crisp by a frenzied mob of
men and boys, on a fire which they
ignited about half mile from town.
The negro, who had shot and killed
Edgar Rice, a special policeman of the
Worth Iron Mills, was first dragged
to the scene of the shooting begging
piteously for mercy. He had been
arrested by a posse after a search,
which had stirred the countryside.
When the posse finally located him,
he was found hiding in a cherry tree,
and, with the last bullet in his revolv-
er, shot himself in the mouth, falling
from the tree. He was removed to
the hospital and placed under police
guard.
A crowd, numbering almost a thou
sand persons, appeared at the hospi-
tai. The leaders we're unable to gain
admission, but quickly smashed the
window frames and crawled through
the corridor.
When Walker was taken to the hos
pital he was strapped down in order
to prevent his escape. TIE mob, see
ing this, gathered up the bed, and,
placing it on the shoulders of four
men, started for the country. They
left the town by way of the Tower
vile road, and, when half mile from
the hospital, stopped at farm house.
Here they entered a field, and,
quickly gathering up a pile of dry
grass, and weeds, placed the bed con-
tanning their victim upon it. The ne
gro was begging piteously to be re-
leased, but his pleadings fell upon
deaf ears. A match was placed to the
pile of grass, and the flames shot UP
quickly, entirely enshrouding the
screaming victim. That not vestige
of the murderer be left, the mob tore
down the fence along the road and
piled the rails upon the burning ne
gro. After waiting for half an hour,
the mob dispersed as quickly as it had
come
A curious feature of the burning
was the fact that there were almost
as many women in the crowd as
men.

Where one earth do these flies
come from?" is a frequent and de-

They may come down the chimneys,

These should be tightly closed in fly

If the chimneys have not the tip
