The waste is net incurred in days, or even hall days, bat in quarters of an hour, aad, of course, constitutes but a small item deducted from each individual's -wages en Saturday. But when made up in the aggregate of a twelvamonth It amounts to $87,500. The wages bill of the employes in question, inclusive of overtime, represents $500,000 per annum. Of this but $412,500 was paid, the remainder being represented by deductions for late arrival.—Chicago Journal.

A Florida Negro Ravisher and Murderer Burned At the Stake.

BRUTE'S HORRIBLE DEED

Imputable White Woman Assaulted By a Roadside and Then Murdered In Cold Blood.

A B&rral Saturated With Oil Fomns the Pyre Span Which Vengesuiee Is Executed.

Bartew, Fla., May 80.—JPrcd Rochelle, a negro, 35 years old, who at soon Tuesday criminally assaulted and then murdered Mrs. Rena Taggart, a well known and respectable white woman of this city, was burned at the stake here early last evening in the presence o£ a throng of people. The burning was on the scene of the negro's crimen within 100 yards of the principal thoroughfare of this city.

The assault and murder was one of the boldest and coldest blooded crimes over committed in Florida. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. Taggai't, who was born and reared in this place, and was a woman of good family and reputation, went tishing alone ia a small raw boat that she kept at the city bridge over Piaco creek. It is in full view of the public thoroughfare. A few minutes before noon, desiring te return home, she rowed her bsat to the bridge and made it fast. A negro man was fishing from the bridge at the time. Mrs. Taggart started hsme and had proceeded only a few steps in the swamp toward the open prairie and thence to the street, when she was approached by Rochelie, who had been hiding in the swamp. Me seized her and she broke loose, anJ, voreaming, ran from the swamp into the prairie, where he overtook her.

After the assault, while she was prostrate, he held her with his hands and knees, and, taking his knife from his pocket, cut lier throat from ear to •ar, causing instant death. He then walked to the negro who had been fishing on the bridge and who was thoroughly frightened, and asked him what he should do with the body, lie was told to leave it where it was, but unheedful of this request, he took the bleeding form in his arms and carried it back to the swamp, threw it down and escaped into the interior of the swamp. In a few minutes the crime had been reported, and in less than an hour practically the entire city was in arms and a well armed posse was Moving In every direction in search ©f the criminal. Bloodhounds were secured, and iUI night a fruitless search was continued. Yosterday morning no trace of the negro had been secured and the people were besoming more determined to apprehend him as the chances for his final escape soemed to grow. About noon a courisr arrived announcing that the negro had bean captured by two other negroes three miles south of the city. Posses were immediately on the trail, but the eapturers evaded detection and succeeded in getting their prisoner quickly into the city and in turning him over to the sheriff of Polk county. In less than 10 minutes after the transfer had been made the streets became congested with people, and the crowd moved on the jail. In spite of the sheriff and a strong guard of extra deputies, who made every effort to protect him from mob violence, they secured the prisoner and took up the march to the scene of the crime. He was half dragged, half carried to the bridge, surrounded by a great throng of people of all ages, who were resolute and determined, but quiet a?:d orderly. Scream after scream broke from the wretch's quivering lips, followed by groans and prayers for mercy. At the bridge the mob turned toward the scene of the negro's crime.

By common consent burning was to be tl+c penalty.,. There were no ropes, no plans ityj^Jynching by hanging. The stake was the only suggestion as to the proper expiation of the crime, and without organized effort and yet with apparently unanimous understanding, a barrel was in readiness and placed by the stake on the very spot where Mrs. Taggart: was assaulted and then murdered."'*"'On this the negro was placed and chained to the stake. He pleaded for mercy, but in the great crowd around him silence was the only response. There were ao jeers, no swearing, no disorder. Before the chains around his body had been made fast, cans of kerosene oil from many sources were passed to the front, and one of the leaders stepped to the negro and slowly but deliberately poured it upon him until his clothes and the barrel were saturated.

It was then 6 o'clock and the crowd was growing and business in the citv had been practloally suspended. When the match was applied the blaze quickly leaped skyward. The burning body could be seen only as a dark object in the circle of a roaring flame. Then the fire slackened and the body came in full view, but already groans had ceascd and the only evidence of life were the contortions of the muscles. For 15 minutes the body burned and in half an hour from the application of the '..latch only the charred bones were left as a reminder of the negro's crime a oil $ls fate.

OLD KKS1DENT KILLED

Distressing Tragedy of the Kail Noted At Delphi. Delphi, Ind., May 30.—Charles Gros, ene of the oldest and best known residents of this city, met death yesterday on the Monon tracks, one mile east of town. At the point where the accident occurred, the Wabash and Monon tracks run parallel. A Wabash gravel train was unloading, and several people were standing on the Monon track watching the Wabash workmen when the Monon fast northbound passenger train came around a curve nearby. The engineer whistled vigorously, but Gros evidently became confused and did not get off the track iu time. The engine struck him with fearful force, and his body was terribly mangled. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Gros had lived in Delphi for more than half century, and had retired from active business. He was one of the band of "forty-niners" who went overland to California when gold was discovered. He was interested iu the oil business here, and located the well in which oil was found last week.

He Wasn't In Jest.

Decatur, Ind., May 30.—Charles Khinger, a well known young man of this city, drowned himself in St. Mary's river here Tuesday night. He spent the evening in a saloon, and was apparently in good humor. About 11 o'clock he started away, remarking to his eompanloms that he intended drowning himself. The statement was taken as a jest. Yesterday his hat and umbrella were found en the river bank, and soon after his body was discovered In the river.
