Atkinson, whj had arrested them a f3w iiours before 0:1 a charge; of arson. The jvc-proes wert all handcuffed and shackled And were on their way to the count;- jail Lt Memphis. When th onTeers reached tL dens swamp, a few mdes from Milltngion, they were surrounded by 1 mob Cf fifty men armed with Winchester rifles and shotguna and commanded them to hait. "Hold up your hands," exclaimed the leader. The detectives bej.ita.ted. "What docs thU msan?" one of them aked. "Never ycu mind. It means business, ßhove up yonr hand?." By this time the detectives were overpowered by the n.ob. When th-? mob feurrour.ded the defectives the negroes ese-med to know instinctively what was to be done. They wer sluing on boxes that hod been thrown about on the floor of the wahren. One sat on the seat beeide the driver, Atkinson. One negro In the body of the wag:n rose up on his feet and threw up his shackled hands. That motion was his last, for a shower of bullets w?re poured Into his body. He fell over and out of the wagon Into the road dea.d. Th n?gro sitting1 beeide the driver threw h'.r. arms about Atkinson with a gesture and exclamation of sur plication. Tho mu7i!j of a shotgun wu3 shoved against his tomach and the charge was sent thi-..--h his body. Detective Atkinson was grasped by several of the mob, hustled up to the ride of Rlchajdson and there held until the murderous work was over. Volley after volley was poured rnto the ßyvlies of the shackled and manacled negroes in the wagon until all of them were dead. Then the mob took the bodies out of the wagon, threw them on the road, and continued to Are volley after volley into them. RU-toardson and Atkinson say there were fifty people In ithe mob, that some of them wore no disguise, while oJiers had their heads Incased In a dark cloth, but that It was so dark it was Impossible to recognize any of the Individuals, even hud the ol'icers b?tn well acquainted with h.he people in that part of the country. Ifaving concluded its work, the leader of the mob shouted "Forward, boys." Guns wore shouldered and the members cf the m b walked back into the woods that lined the road and disappeared. The lynclied negroes were all accused of arson, id all are said to have belonged to an organized band of barn burners that had in five years destroyed thirty-two bams, as many residences .and other pr perty of great value In the vicinity of Kerrville, Lucy, Millington and Bol'ton's Crdlege, Tenn. On Thursday Jeff Ltxton. a merchant at Kerrville, cT.trne to .Memphis, went befra Janice W. II. Hughey and swore out warrants against eight negroes who live in and near Kerrvir. enlarging them With having set lire to the building's at KerrvUk fair grounds which were deritroyed by fir? three months ago. These warrants were placed in the hands of Detective Ui saardson. who had had so much experience in connection with these tbarn burners. He boirded the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern train and iraached Kerrville at eigb't o'clock yesterday moraine. William Wannr. who worked on the railroad, was arrested as Jie stepped off a handcar at the de-t. O-hers wre found working in the fields and others were found at Lhelr homes. Carlus Bland and Will Mooring, members of the gang for whim wirmnts were served, beard of the arrival of the officers In rim to take flight and escaped. It was the intention of tue oflicers to tke the prisoners to Millingion and bring th.;ni to Memphis on th Chesapeake tr.fin at 6 o'clock last night, tut they bad not made all the arrests ip to thil tim- and had to wait over. There is no jill to the village and the prisoners as f-t as captured were mana.led and p'-acvd under guard to await the time of leiviug. It was nearly 10 o'clock at night when the last arrest was made. It was Impossible to remain over night at Millington, as there was no safe gunrd-house, end It was derided to make the trip by road. S. D. Tucker, a merchant there, provided a wasron. a mule and a tiorse wan fcitrhel to it and the start was made. They had not proceeded far, however, before they were overpowered bv the mob. After the bloody work was over tlve detectives summoned the coron -r and an Inpue.st was had, which resultM In the usual verdict: "That tbe- deceased came to their dath at the hand3 of unknown parties." Detective Richardson arrived In Memphis this morning and reported the lynching to Sheriff McLendon and Criminal Court Judge L. P. Cooper. Judge Copper at once sent for the grand Jury and Instructed that body to Investigate the affair aaid return' indictments aralnst the marrows of the mob.

R pi. l.-The announeeinent of the lynaiüng of six colorJil men In Tennessee was much talked f In Washington to-diy, and renewed interest la tbe resolution introduced by

Representative Blair, of New Hampshire, for an investigation of such forms of liwlessness, whicft will probably be acted upon early next sesmlon. Fredertclc IVrugTBss, the venerable pioneer of tbe abolltVm movement, was seen by an Associated Press reporter. He had not raad the report of the affair, nor did he care to. He said in sprnking of the lynching, that It was only a continuation of the persecution of the past. Tha Hon. B. K. Bruce thought that It was an appalling affair, and xpres3ed the hop? that the perpetrators would be brought to Justice. CongTe53innn Lynch declared that the occurrence was bound t3 be a detriment to'tlhe induptrin.1 and comvmerclal interests of the South. HE MURMURED A PRAYER,

Then the Dealh-Deallnsr Guillotine Swiftly Descended. LAVAL, Fiance, Aug. 30. The execution of Abbe Dnmeau, formerly vicar of the Church of Entrc-mmes, convicted of the murder of Abbe Fricot, passed off much more ouletly than the authorities anticipated. The order for execution was not received until 5 o'clock this morning and Diebler and his assistants did not commence erecting the guillotine until 2:13 a, m. From that time the crowd increased until fully 8,000 people were present. Maitre Dominique, a counsel for the prisoner, was In ParU yesterday trying to induce President Casimir-Peri er to commute the condemned man's sentence, but he was unsuccessful In his appeal for mercy and arrived here last evening. The p.Kple of La.va.1 were so indignant at Maitre Dcmlnio.ue's action in appealing directly to the president that it was feared that he would be attacked and consequently he left the tra'n at a station out5lde of Laval. Abba Lmneau "was awake when the public prosecutor, the examining magistrate and other officials entered his cell this morning In order to Inform him that his last hour had arrived. Unaided the condemned man quickly donned the ordinary b'.ack trousers of a priest and then rut on his shirt, stockings and shoes. Whn he was dressed Abbe Druneau was led to the chapel of the prison where the representatives of the pres were already seated. In pissing the holy water font the abbe dipped his fingers, knelt a-ixl eroded himself frequently. 11 was then led to the altar whero he prayed for a few moments and afterward, with the prison charlaln, retired to a corner where the latter hoard the prisoner's last confess! ?n. This lasted ten minutes, after which mass was celebrated, Abbe Bruneau following tbe prayers with great devollon. He whs led away to breakfast apparently deeply penitent. After breakfast the piiFoner again communed with the pri?cn chaplain and asket that tho clargy might pardon iim for breaking his vows cf ehs-nity. He thin informed the attendants that he was ready and showed fcToat coolness until he arrived at the f.ot of the soaffoli. when his fortitude seemed to desert him. Upon the guillotine platform Abbe Bruneau kissed the cruiciflx held up before him by the chaplain, murmured a sh-rt prayed with his eyes turned toward the sky. and then, at a signal from Diebler, he was overturned upon the bascale. thrust rapidly forward and at about 5:05 a. m. the knife foil and the priest's head dropped into the basket. The death of the priest was the signal for lead erie3 of "Bravo!" from the assembled crowds. Abbe Bruneau was found guilty of the murder of Abba Fricot, cure at E11tremmes, by slunnlnr him, throwing him Into a we'd, pitching blocks of wood upon the oldi priest as he struggled for life, and finally rltlns him with a long pole until he was dead. He was also shown to have committed a number of robberies, to have tpent much money in fa.Tt living, and W2s Indicted for the murdfr of a widow named Bourdais, who kept a florist store. Mme. Bourdal3 was found stabbed to d?ath. and her place of business ransacked. Some of the stolen money was traced to the possession of Abbe Bruneau. MUST BEAN A. P. A.

SatollI, the papal delegate, was arraigned In the Harlem police court today. Stolz Is a wUd-'ookihg man and appears to be suffering from alcoholic mania. He Is well dressed and fairly Intelligent. A policeman, arrested him on the Klngsbridge road last night, where he was shouting "Kill him! kill him!" and making lunges at some imaginary object. At the station the prisoner, who wore no shoes, said that he formerly kept a saloon at Meadville, Pa. He sold out end came here, (lud having called upon him to' kill Mgr. SatollI. He had r.o hatred of Satolli. but wanted to kill all priests. A club of ten. of wlhich he was ore. had ben organized to kill all priests. He had been selected by the club to strike the first blow. In court today, while composed and talking otherwise rationally, he still adhered to his story that hlrf mission was to kill Satnlii. He was sent to Bellevue hospital, where he will undergo examination as to his sanity. THEY ARE FRAUDS, Four 3Ien Who Collect Money on Fnle Pretense. BALTIMORE, Aug. 31. Cardinal Gibbons has received a letter from the Rt. Rev. Dr. John Leonard, vicar apostolic of the western district of Cape Colony, caJling attention to the probable appearance in this country of "foar or live gentlemen who called themselves catholic priests In communion with Roiiw aid thus procured letters from the catholic bishoi of Natal and Orange free state as well as from tbe prefect apostolic of the Transvaal." It appears that these men, for the purpose of collecting money, have represented themselves as priests of some oriental rite m communion with Rome. The RL Rev. Dr. Leonard in his letter says: "They were about to vlt America as -.veil as Great Britain and Ireland and all the KiiKlwh colonies, and they left here on Wednesday last, ISth Inst.

SPECULATED IN SUGAR And Lost Several Thonannd Dollnrs of the Firm's Money. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Unsuccessful speculation In sugar by a junior partner was the cause of the failure of the large knit goods manufacturing house of S. Baron & Co. and of S. Baron of tftls city. The confession was made to a meeting of the firms' creditors today by Theodore Baron, who places his loss at $7,100. The latter is a son of the senior member of the firm. For years S. Baron & Co. did a prosperous business, and when an assignment was made last month it was a surprise to the trade. Counsel for the firm said today that the assets were J122,132.40: prefrences. $41.000; liabilities, $13.0'0. The firm has hoped to pay 38V2 cents on the dollar, but Instead submitted a proposition for 23 cents on the dollar. This basis of settlement did not meet with approval of creditors. Creditors examining the statement sheet noticed an unexplained deticlt of $7.100 and asked for an explanation. Theodore Baron was visibly agitated and hi.s face flushed as he said: "Gentlemen, I took that $7.100 unknown to my father, who Is the 'company' in Theodore S. Baron & Co. I drew It out in two checks, one for $4,000 and the other for $3,100. I speculated in Wall-st. and lost every cent." "And what did you speculate in, pray?" demanded a creditor. "Susrar," answered Mr. Baron. "And you drew out the money unbeknown to your partner. I demand that this story be investigated. Let us have bus bank books and broke c' account." Counsel Insisted that the jung man was telling the truth. Subsequently the creditors agreed to a compromise at 331-3 per tent., the money to be paid in three installments.

Miss Nancy Hanks Will Please Take a Back Seat. Robert J., the Pretty Gelding, Lowers the Record, PACING THE MILE IN 203 3-4 His Great Performance on tho Ft. Wayne Track. He Makes the Circuit Without a Skip And Paae Inder the Wire, Amid the Plaudit of Thouaandn, Kins: of the Tnrf The Great Horse 1 Piloted t Vlctorj- by Silent Kd CJeer L.1 1 1 le AIlx flowers the Track Itccord and Equal Her Own. KT. WATNR, Aup. 21. Special. Ft. Wayne i? floating a fax high in the air tonight. She now hollä the record for the fastest mile ever made by a harness horse on any track in the world. Robert J. was chased a mile on the Ft. Wayne driving club's mile track by a runner and paced the mile in the presence of 6,000 people without a skip or a false movement in the fastest time ever made by any race noise driven o a sulky in 2:03;. This wrests the laurels from Nancy Hanks and Mascot with their respective trotting and pacing records ot 2:04. Terre Haute's 2:04 track can be advertised no more, as Ft. Wayne is Justly entitled to the fastest track In Indiana, in fact In the world. Robert J. is a seven-yea r-o".d bay gelding and was sired In Pennsylvania by Hartford, dam by Jay Gould, by Ilambletonian 10. For throe years he has been owned and campaigned on the turf by C. J. Hamlin, the famous BufTalo horseman. Robert J. has been driven to the sulky for three years by Silent Ed Geers, and the animal has won many races and for several weeks has been barred in the free-for-all paces. Two weeks ago he made his record 2:04U at Rochester, N. " Y., and he was sent a mile today to lower Ft. Wayne's rack record of 2M, held by the pacer Joe Patehen. Geers drove the pretty bay gelding in front of ths stand and amidst cheers the alert animal pranced and nodded in acknowledgement, when he wras announced as the fastest harness horse in the world. Geers drove Robert J. dtwn to the wire three times for the word, but before reaching the turn slowed up and went back. The third trial down to the wire Geers nodded for the word and Robert J. was let out a bit. Before reaching the eighth mile Geers urged Robert a trifle and he responded with a will that indicated he was on hi3 mettle. A hundred watches were keeping his speed, and when the gelding flew past the first quarter pole in :"0i there was a ripple of ejaculation on the lips of the knowing ones. Down the back stretch Geers piloted his charge wdth a skill equal to tho occasion. The side-wheeled champion moved steadily and with the precision of a perfectly regulated clock. He was not distressed and was equal to the effort. The watches caught the half mile at 1:01, a 2:03 gait. The subdued burst of app'.ause was hushed by Starter Walker who asked the spectators to remain as silent as the tomb and make the pacing celc-brlty confine his attention exclusively to the burst of speed he was being urged to make himself capable of in th finish down to the wire. At the third quarter poie the watches registered 1:33. The impatient crowd then, realized that the last quarter must be the fastest to lower a record and anxiously they looked for Geers to urge his charge to a better gait. There was no perceptible movement on the part of the driver. He held the lines firmly and his whip was motionless except for the movement of his sulky. The Inuixatlence of the crowd was tested. "Why don't Geers force the animal." some one yelled In an audible breath. The driver and Robert J. seemed one. They worked in perfect harmony. They understood each other. Coming up to the distance flag the running mate crowded Robert J. a trifle, and, without a skip or an unsettled step, Robert J. increased his speed with a. graceful ease, surprising in its neautiful accomplishment, and passed to the wire from the flag at a two-minute gait. He moved as firmly as he did when leaving the wire for the send off and finished in the presence of an enthusiastic crowd, the fastest mile ever paced. Geers calmly turned the king of the turf around and Jogged back before the crowd. Robert J. was not distressed and realized that he was being honored when cheer upon cheer lloated over the horse and the driver. No less than twenty watches stopped at 2:03i. and four or five in the press box caupht the time at 2:03. The lime is unmistakably correct and Robert J. is a turf king. Alix. the sweet little mare in the Salisbury stables, also performed a remarkable mile, trotting it in 2:05 1,4, lowering the track record and equaling her own. Fantasy was pent a mile and lowered her record half a second. In the first heat of the 2:20 class pace Anderson Belle, a brown stallion, valued at $5.000, and owned by II. C. Sanders of Glenville, O., dropped dead in the stretch of heart troub!e. The last of the races will occur tomorrow, and the most historical race meeting ever held in Indalna will close.

Llder ?.Icf!nrvey Bitterly Denounces Col. IlreekliiridK'e. LEXINGTON, Ky , Aug. 30. Fl der J. W. McGarvey, an eminent instructor on theologicr.l" subjects In the Bible college of Kentucky university nnT a leader in the Christian church of the South, has again taken up the cudgel against C d. Breckinridge, using Kvaugelist Barnos's sermon of Sunday night as his text. Klder McGarvey is out in a letter today denouncing Barnes as a religious mountebank, who ni.s wandered from one church to another during his remarkably checkered career i:i and out of the pulpit. lie holds up Barnes as a man wlio has at various limes pretend. -d to have received s;;net!i"u-ati'n, the power to lie.il by anointment and the power to absolve the sins of thos t-onfcssbi to him. After these humbugs were ili.ved out, Evangelist Baltics pretended that the Lord watched over him, even to the extent of keeping- hi.s organ in tuni while It was being jolted over mountain road.? from one meeting to another, and as an evidence of his fai.h he tbivw away his spectacles and trusted to the Lord to see without them. Mr. MeGurvey adds: "This experiment did not last long. He proclaimed that h? then had faith eno-ugh to raise the dead. After some years of a very no led career in Kentucky he went to India, and while there he had a revelation from the Lord to the effect that the English people are the twelve lost tribos of Israel and that Queen Victoria is the head of the true church. He immediately obtained membership in the episcopal church, but that church, like the Presbyterian, refused to indorse his heresies by putting him Into th ministry." Elder McGarvey follows Mr. Barnes in his strange career after returning front India. For years he exercised remarkable Influence in 'Kentucky, but his gloiy has departed and he "can no luiger obtain and head the vast audiences that once assembled to hear him." Several years ago he loft there to make his home on a small island off the coast of Florida. The caustic letter concludes with a discussion of biblical parallels upon which Evengelist Barnes and others have attempted to excuse Col.

Carneule Would Preaerlue n I! rend and Water Diet for Workmen. LONDON, Aug. 31. Andrew Carnegie has an article in the September Contemporary Review concerning labor In America. He says that an American workingman nan live for less In America, If he chooses, than in Great Britain, provided that he lives as frugally. Consequently Mr. Carnegie thinks the argument that wacres must be hlaher In America is fallacious,. A pound Judiciously expended in America on the necessaries of life would afford the workingman's family more comforts than would the same amount spent here. Tho American working-man's positon was like that of the old Scotchwoman, who, when aked if she could live on a certain annuity, replied that she could live on half of it, "but could spend dooble."

ILL-FATEO UVALD

Ll Treacherous River Leona Sweeps Down Upon It Leaving Death and Destruction in Its Woke. HORRORS OF ONE NIGHT. Water Came Upon the Sleeping Town in a Torrent, Shrieks of the Dyina Heard on Every Hand.

UVALDE, Tex.. Aug. 31 A terrible catastrophe befell this thriving town last night, and today there is mourning in many household?. The calamity was entirely unexpected. The treoherous Leona rhtr, swollen to a raging torrent by recent rains, rushed without a moment's warning down upon the town, submerging and wrecking many houses and drowning a number of people. In this arid section such destructiveness by the elements has never before been chronicled. In the excitement of the day it is not definitely known how many have been drowned. Among the bodies that have been identified are: Mrs. JOE HATCH. Miss MATTIE EDWARDS. Child of Mrs. Milcy Two Mexicans. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning when the flood came. Th" weather had been threatening and there were ominous clouds to the north and east of the town. The aiinosphere had been close during the evening, and as predictions of a storm were freely made, the citizens wont to their beds not with happy minds. As the hours wore on and the people continued their sIutiiIkt, the dark clouds rose higher and higher. Just as the storm broke over the city in rtll its fury a torrent of water rushed '.own tho Leona river, overflowing the banks of that stream and flooding the low lands on f Pher side to a dep'h of several feet. The er?st side of the city is built upon low ground and was direvtly in the path of this water. All of the houses In that part of the town were submerged, and in ;he darkness and throughout the down-pour of rain that was falling could be heard the cries of distress from the ill-fated inhabitants in their wild efforts to save their lives and those of their families and loved ones. There were a .number of miraculous escapes and the rescuers and the rescued performed many heroic acts. As soon as those in the higher part of the town were made aware of the terrible flood and dire consequences the work of rescuing was begun and carried out as rapidly as possible in the darkness of the night. Great apprtciensioii is felt for the families living on the ditch south of here, where from seventy-five to on!? hundred ftmilies live, and the land lying fifteen fet lower than here, It is feared they have been destroyed. One Mexican family living on the ranch of L. Schwarz, live miles below town, are supposed to have been lost, no vestige of ranch buildings being left. It is feared that Indianola's history is repeated. An earthquake shock of some seconds duration was distinctly felt during the night. At one place near the city about a quarter of mile of heivy cracks appear on each side of the Leona river, having apparently no bottom. A track walker of the Southern Pacific, after wading through water up to his neck, with his lantern elevated above his head, succeeded In feeling his way far enough east to Intercept a west-bound train and prevent its plunging Into the raging river, where the railroad bridge had been destroyed. News late this evening reaches here that three famlll?s living below town were drowned. The names have not been learned. According to reports received at the Southern Pacific olfice this evening the terrible flood va3 augmented by a most remarkable phenomena, which was caused by the earthquake. The loss to the Southern Pacific company Is enormous, forty miles of track and many bridges having been washed away. Over one, hundred carloads of material and COO' laborers left San Antonio for the scene of the wreckage this evening. The damage to the Southern Pacific ertends eastward about seventy-five miles from the city. A rough but safe estimate as to the loss to property in general and the railroad company will, as far as known, reach a million and a half dollars. ST. LOUIS. Sept 1. A special to the Post-Dispatch from San Antonio. Tex., says: "The scone of destruction and desolation In th flooded district for a distance of 100 miles east and wet from here and extending south from tho Southern Pacific railroad to the Rio Grsnde, 200 miles away, is simply terrible. Thousands upon thousands of pasturage and farm laid Is under water. It is estimated that the damage to crops in ihe valley of the Leona river alone will reach a half-million dollars, while In ihe valleys of Saco and Sabinal rivers the loss will be fully as much more. Many thousand head of cattle, horses and sheep were swept away and drowned. Up to last midnight all telegrams received here by the Southern Pacllic railroad otflcials and for the press came by the roundabout way of El Paso, Pueblo and Kansas City, all direct connection with Uvalde and other flooded towns being cut off. The wires are now restored. however, and Information from the Leona valley Is now coming in. Reports re- 1 ceived this morning are more alarming than the earlier ones. It is still a matter of uncertainty as to the numlir of lives lost, but additions to the list of drowned are constantly coming Tn. About onehalf of the nouses of Uvalde, a town of 2.300 population, were carried away and there is much suffering there by homeless families, but no more f.ualitie? are reported there. Nothing hi.' y.-t been heard from the settlement of seventyfive families several miles below Uvalde, but there are stil grave fears thit many, if not all of them, were swept diwn by the torrent. The town of Batesville was entirely inundated and ther.? was heavy loss of propnty, but ho lives are reported lost. There are several other towns In the flooded district, but they are awav from the railroad and telegraphic reach and nothing can be heard from them until the waters subside. All construction otllclals of the Southern Pacific railroad have gone to the scene of the principal disaster and several trainloads of material and men have gone wert to repair damage to tracks and to reconstruct bridges." 4 .
