Salisbury, N. C, Auj?. 11. What Ik
faifl to he the first instance of the conviction of :i lyncher in the history
of the state was furnished here when Ieorire Hal!, a white ex-convict of
Montgomery county, X. C. who was
one of the party that on Monday night
lynched three negroes in jail here for the murder of the Lyorly family, wus found guilty of conspiracy in connection with that crime and was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. Hall's trial ended at 7 p. m. The jury was out but thirty-five minutes-, and returned then with a verdict of guilty. Gave Him the Limit of the Law. Judge 15. F. Long sentenced Hall to the maximum term .provided for by law fifteen years at Jiard labor in the penitentiary. The evidence against Hall was overwhelming. He was remanded to jail. His counsel has appealed on the ground that Governor Glenn was in Atlantic City when the special term at which Hall was tried was ordered, and that being out of the state's bounds he had no jurisdiction. State Springs a Surprise. The state sprung a surprise in the trial when the offensa against the prisoner was changed from murder to conspiracy. When the court was called to order at 10:30 a. m. ex-Representative T. J. Kluttz announced that his client would contend that the cotirt was unlawful. It was argued that the governor could not sign a commission for such a court unless he was in the state, and it was alleged that he was at Atlantic City, N. J. Kluttz asked
that a subpoena be issued for Governor Glenn, to have him brought to court to testify. Objection Is Overruled. , This was done, and the chief executive of the state was sworn and questioned about his whereabouts on the 17th of July, the day that the call for the court was made. He said that he was in Atlantic City, N. J., but in order to do what he could to prevent a lynching he wired his private secretary to issue the commission and sign his name to it. This he considered the proper thing to do. The objection of the defendant was overruled, and the trial proceeded. ' Deputy's Evidence Was Conclusive. The first witness was David W. Julian, a deputy sheriff, who testified that he saw Hall leading a mob of
about thirty men, some of whom the witness knew. The officer had in custody a man he had arrested at the jail. Hall, said the witness, carried a hammer and threatened to brain him if he did not liberate the prisoner. Klutzz objected to this testimony in its entirety. Other testimony was offered in the afternoon and the case speedily given to the jury. Hall had been a cotton mill operative.

Jamestown. N. Y., Aug. 11. The federal grand jury for the Western district of New York reported indictments ruainst the Standard Oil com
pany, of New Yorlr. the Pennsylvania railroad and the Vacuum Oil company, 'which has relineries at Olean and Rochester, N. Y. One indictment Is found against each of the defendants, and in all there are twenty-two counts. The indictment asrainst the Pennsylvania railroad charges that it granted rebates on oil shipments to the Standard Oil company, and the indictment against the Standard charges that it accepted rebates from the Pennsylvania. What the Evidence Showed. The evidence showed that the Vacuum Oil company made shipments ftvnr the Pennsylvania, and that the
Standard paid the freight bills. Tho Indictment against the Vacuum Oil company charges specifically that it shipped oil from Olean to Rutland, Yt, at a tariff rate lower than any published by the Pennsylvania railroad or on file with the interstate commerce commission. One of the counts In the indictments charges that the Pennsylvania railroad did not file with the interstate commerce commission a tariff showing its rates, and charges for the transportation of oil. Might Cost 'Em $1,400,000. Each of the twenty-two counts constitutes a separate offense, and the penalties if the defendants were convicted on all counts would amount to ?1,400.000. The substance of the charges is that in 1904 the Pennsylvania rail
road made to the Standard Oil company a rate of 10.1 cents on 100 pounds of oil from Olean to Rutland, when the published rate at that time was 19 cents. The testimony was that the shipments were often made over other routes than the ones in the published schedule. Substantially the same charge is made against the Standard Oil company and the A'acuum Oil company, the indictment reading that they accepted the rebate.

They Kill a Lieutenant, Two Privates, a Contract Surgeon and a Revenue Collector. Washington, Aug. 11. Gen. Wood telegraphs the war department that nt Julita, on the island of Leyte, P. I., First Lieutenant John F. James and two privates of the Eighth infantry, with Contract Surgeon Calvin Snydwr and Internal Revenue Collector Williams, of Illinois, were killed in a hand-to-hand tight with a force of Pulajancs. The Pulajancs captured three pistols, four Krag-Jorgensen rihes and 300 rounds of ammunition. They Avere in overwhelming force, the detachment attacked consisting of only ten men. The revolt of the Pulajancs has been one of the chief thorns in the sides of the commanders in the Philippines for several months. On several occasions th-y have ambushed and attacked Fnited States soldiers.1 with fatal results. Recently fourteen soldiers were slaughtered by the savages and several were wounded. Attacks have been numerous and of a secret nature, our men being surprised by the suddenness cf the savages' assaults.
j Explesion as a Destroyer, j Norfolk, Ya., Aug. 11. Five men were burned by an explosion in the ! paint locker on the torpedo boat destroyer Worden at the Norfolk navy
yard. A can of varnish exploded because a hot rivet fell into it. The men hurt were W. IT. Wilson; Robert A. YVhite, Hurlett Hodges, and an unknown (negroes, and Joseph Shurman. All will recover except possibly Wilson.
President Smells Dad Meat. Washington, Aug. 11. President Roosevelt has become very much interested in the reports of bad meat supplied the New York and Norfolk navy yards, and has written to Secretary Ronaparte to inquire about it. The secretary has directed that the substance of the reports thus far received be lent to tie president.
STANDARD OILi MONOPOLY Manages To Be the Only Company That Can 'Get Xhere." Chicago, Aug. 11. It developed during the Standard Oil inquisition by the
era ml iurv that there is in existence
on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad a tariff on shipments of oil from Dolton, 111., to points south which is very low. The Standard Oil company has its refinery at Whiting, Ind., a short distance from Dolton, and could easily avail itself of this low rate, while other shippers wishing to reach Dolton to participate in the low rate
south must pay the switching charges
in the Chicago district of $5 a car,
which makes the total rate prohibitive
as far as competition is concerned.
According to the testimony the Stand
ard Oil shipped its oil from Whiting,
Ind., to Dolton, 111., over the uicago Terminal Transfer company for about
$2 a car in switching-charges. Although
the shipment was between two states it wa not interstate, because it was within one shipping district. The same
consignment was then shipped south
on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
from Dolton on the low rate from that
point, and by other lines and in due
time reached Grand Junction, Tenn.
It is declared that by this favorable
situation of the -Standard Oil com
pany at Whiting that company was able to reach Grand Junction, Tenn.,
with its oil on a through rate of 13
cents for 100 pounds, whereas no oth
er shipper was able to take advantage of the same privilege. The city of
Grand Junction is thus designated as the gateway to the southeast for the Standard Oil company, giving it it is
cnarged a monopoly on the oil busi
ness in that part of the country. She Has Changed Her Mind.
Reno. Nev., Aug. 11. Mrs. William
Ellis Corey, who recently secured
divorce from her husband, has left for Pacific coast points, where she will spend several weeks, and then return
to Pittsburg, where she will probably reside. The departure of Mrs. Corey is interesting in view of her statements upon the witness stand during the divorce trial that Reno was to be her permanent residence. Still Holds One Offlce. Akron. O.. Aug. 11. County Treasurer F. E. Smith, who was found nearly ?2S2,C00 short in his accounts by examiners ar pointed by the probata court recently, has resigned the office of treasurer of the county. He remains treasurer of the city and school funds.
Montevideo. Aug. 11. Secretary Root arrived here on the cruiser Charleston. Never perhaps in the history of the Uruguayan republic has popular feeling t een more visibly manifested than by the really remarkable demonstrations of satisfaction on the part of all classes -with the visit of the eminent United States statesman to this picturesque capital. Although necessarily not on the same scale of magnificence as the reception accorded Root by Rrazil, or that in course of preparation by Argentina, Montevideo has extended to him a welcome full of spontaneous warmth and cordiality. Whole Population Was Out. At an early hour in the morning the crowd began assembling at every vantage point in the port and on the moles. It continually grew in numbers until seemingly the entire population was present to greet the visitors.
An enthusiastic ovation was given to
Edward C. O'Brien, the popular Unit
ed States minister, when he, accom
panied by the port authorities, em
barked for the cuter roods to meet the Charleston. The arrival of the cruis
er, with the nisnnguisnea travelers
stationed prominently on the upper deck, to which O'Rrien immediately proceeded, was the culminating point
in the enthusiasm of the crowds.
Cheers for Hoot and Roosevelt. Cries of "Long live Secretary Root,'
"Long live President Roosevelt," and
"Long live the great republic of the north" rent the air. These were re
peated when the steamer Triton went alongside the Charleston for the pur
pose of enabling the committee com
posed of several leading residents, of
ficials and a number of ladies, to
board the cruiser and tender the first
welcome to the visitors. After this
ceremony the committee and Root's
party boarded the steamer Ingeniere,
from which the landing was made at 2
p. m.
Ladies Share an Ovation.
As soon as Root was on shore Dr.
Jose Romeu, the minister of foreign
affairs, delivered a speech of welcome
to which Root made a brief reply. As
the visitors drove away, accompanied by Minister O'Rrien, to the splendid
residence in the heart of the city which
had been provided for them the scene of enthusiasm was impressive and
striking. Mrs. Root and Miss Root shared the heartiness of the ovation accorded the secretary of state of the
United States.
Features of the Welcome.
In the afternoon there was a recep
tion by the president of the republic
at the government house, and a mill
tary parade, while at night there was
a gala performance at the theater. Tho
city has abandoned itself wholly to the entertainment of the visitors, who cannot fail to be impressed by the sympathy and obviously sincere nature of
the reception accorded them, totally unaffected by political considerations.
HEAT FACILITATES TRADE
Shy of the Drago Doctrine. Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 11. The Argentine delegates to the ran-American conference made unavailing efforts to incorporate the definition of the Drago doctrine in a. resolution under discussion by the committee having such affairs in hand.
Makes Good Business In Summer Goods and at the Resorts Crops All That Could Be Desired. New York, Aug. 11. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: In some sections the intense heat facilitated retail trade in summer goods and improved the attendance at seaside resorts, but the most important development in the business world was the increased activity of jobbing and wholesaledepartments in preparing for autumn and winter requirements. Crop reports are all that could be desired, harvest and threshing returns surpassing all but the most sanguine expectations, the few unsatisfactory statements being far out-balanced by the numerous encouraging results. Mercantile collections might be more prompt at some eastern points, but the average is well maintained by discounted bills at the west and south. Manufacturing news is still of good progress, the iron and steel industry maintaining phenomenal results despite some labor troubles. High prices prevail in the footwear industry, and
for most textile fabrics, but the general level of all commodities reflects the cheapening of farm products on account of the big crops. Failures this week numbered 174 In the United States, against 222 last year, and 13 in Canada, compared with, a year ago.
Spain and the Vatican. Madrid, Aug. 11. The government continues to maintain a firm attitude on the church and state question. A minister declared that while the government was desirous of avoiding a breach with the Vatican it had determined to defend the supremacy of the state.
