MARINE INSURANCE
IS AGAIN INCREASED

New York, Dec. 30-Marine in
surance rates today showed another
increase. Underwriters quoted to
s per cent for insuring cargoes bound
to ports Of the United Kingdom and
10 per cent to Mediterranean ports.
A few days ago these rates stood at
5 to s per cent.
The advance was attributed to re-
ports that the Lamport and Holt
liner Voltaire, long overdue. had been
captured by a German prize crew
and was preying on allied freighters
in the North Atlantic and to the fact
that several transatlantic steamers
are now overdue on both sides OF the
ocean.
Although the voltaire, from Liver
pool to New York. is fourteen days
behind her schedule. representatives
Of the line here said that they had
not given up hope and should not do
so until they heard officially that
their vessel had been lost.
In maritime circles 1t was pointed
out that anxiety over the non-errival
OF steamers Is unnecessary exagger-
ated. On account Of rough weather,
1t Is said that several steamships are
taking from twenty-three to twenty
eight days to cross from British and
French ports and from Genoa and
Marseilles they have been as long as
thirty-eight days out. Underwriters
say 1t Is difficult to know Just when
a vessel left a British port for New
York because the government might
order her into another port where
she might be detained for "A week or
more.
Marine underwriters admit that
they have sustained heavy losses,
particularly during the months OF
September. October and November
last. They say. however. that no
company has been seriously crippled
because the risks usually have been
well distributed.

Abbev,:le, Oct. 21.-Taking the au-
thortties by surprise a mob, COM
posed Of 200 to 800 persons, entered
the Abbeville Jail this afternoon and
overpowering the jailer, took An
thony Crawford, q negro, from cell
to lynch him near the fair grounds.
Beath for the negro was made dou-

tree and then ridlling his body with
bullets.
The dead negro owned considerable
property in Abbeville county, where
he was engaged In farming. He was
said to have amassed a fortune of
100000.
The negro cursed and otherwise
abused an Abbeville merchant this
morning and a crowd gathered to in
fiict beating. AS this attempt was
being made the negro struck M. B.
Vann. one of the crowd, on the head
with hammer, inflicting serious
wound. The crowd gave Crawford
a severe thrashing and would doubt
less have killed him but for the in

anticipated unless Mr.. Cams injuries
proved fatal.
At 1880 o'clock the crowd quickly
formed and moved to the jail, enter

The surprise attack was completely
successful as summary attack be-

The jailer was quickly and effcc-

secured and hurried to point near
the fair grounds where he was
hanged to a pine tree and the body
riddled with bullets.
Coroner Nance held an inquest
over the negro's body late this af-

the hands Of parties unknown to the
jury.

fiicted by the hammer in the hands Of
the negro, is expected to recover.
