In Little Biver County, Ark., the negro of a white woman was captured. He confessed that the woman’s husband hired him to oommit the crime, and husband and ravisher were both lynched. Hazleton, who killed Mamie Thorp in a Baltimore bagnio, has been sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. A boiler explosion in Mead’s sugar house at New Orleans caused the death of ' nine persons, while six were wounded, some of them dangerously. The killed are: Edwin Eden, engineer; W. Booker, John Jones, Henry Nash, Joseph Richards, Paul Richards, James Rees, William Wilson, Henry Marcelin, colored. The last two are boys of 12 and 13. The wounded are August Rantz, Oscar Rantz, E. Rantz, and John Fricke, dangerously scalded; John DeLord and John Maguire, slightly. The boiler was bought sec-ond-hand twenty years ago. It had no water at the time, and, cold water being let in, exploded, flying through the roof of the' sugar house, and going a distance of 250 yards into the canal. The engineer was thrown 203 yards, landing on a wood-pile ten feet high.
