PRAYED BEFORE BIS EXECUTION

AND WA8 PULLED INTO SPACE AMID DEAFENING APPLAUSE.

The Fiend Admitted An Assault On His GO-Year-Old Aunt—Coroner's Jury Acts Quickly.

HawcsviUe, Ky., Sept. 26.—In the broad open glare of a Sunday sun, in the midst of a protracted revival, not a mast to be seen and in the presence of 800 infuriated people, Raymond Bushrod, a negro, this evening at 5 o'clock, was made to pay the penalty of his hellish assault on the person of 14-year-old Maggie Roberts yesterday afternoon. He was swung from a limb in the court house yard Bushrod was from Itockport, Ind.

After the assault and attempted murder, the brute escaped. Searching parties were at once sent in every direction and shortly after midnight he was captured by a party of four under the wfciting station at Falcom, four miles from here. 'He was taken to Hawesville and turned over to the jailer. The officers got wind of a snob and he was secretly guarded in a graveyard until morning, when he was again locked up. All day fong people arrived in town from every direction and were very angry. The officers made the mob believe the villain had escaped, and most of them started in pursuit. Then an attempt was made to spirit Bushrod away, but a guard that had been left at the jail secured the prisoner as he was being brought out. The excitement now was intense and promptly at 5 o'clock this evening the march to the court house square was' begun. A tree was selected, a rope secured andBushrod was given an opportunity for confession and prayer. His confession was complete.

He stated he was guilty and this was tho third offense, one successful effort having been made upon his 60-year-old aunt. After offering up his last supplication, a long and fervent, prayer on bended knee, the signal to haul away was given, and with pinioned arms behind and legs beneath, he was dangled between brick and tree. The applause as he went up was deafening. 'In about four minutes he was pronounced dead. A coroaef's jury rendered a verdict that he cape tofhis death at the hands of unknown parties.

After th| lynching the mob's leader, an Indianan, |pade ^a little talk in which he pointed to pie gruesome corpse, say: "Here's the protection we offer our wives and daughters."

After a great deal of idle curiosity was gratified, the crowd and mob quietly dispersed, and there are nqt tonight three men in Hancock county that are ready to say that a wrong has been done. No action by he authorities against any member of the mob is likely. During the entire time of the lynching not less than ZOO women were on •the hill and hillride overlooking the public square, and when his dangling form went up, oheer npon tap of cheer from ihem rent the air.

On the march te the place of lynching it was almost impossible to prevent his being killed by infuriated men. Twioe was Bushrod knocked down, and it is believed by some that he was unconscious when strung tip.

That

His Witness, John Short, Admits •Baney's Story Was a Fraud. Indianapolis, Sept. 24.—The last effort to secure the release from prison of the Rev. William B. Hinshaw, was completely broken down today tor John Short, one of the chief witnesses for the minister, making a public statement in which he announces that ttie mueh-talked-of Baney story is a fiction from beginning to end. Short is a brother-hi-iaw et Noah Baney.

In explaining why he and Baney made up the story be states that 'There was a good deal of money floating around and we wanted some of it, and I guess we got 6eme of it," H« say® he has received only $95. but was promtMd $500. Baney, he understands. was to hare received $2,000 but on account of having gone back on the story has not received anything.

Short was living in Chicago when Baney first startled the prison officials at Michigan City by statilng that H.'nshaw was innocent and that he (Baney) could name the murderers of the minister's wife. Short was mentioned in the statement and a few days later. J. O. Parker, attorney

tor the minister, appeared In Chicago and

perflUided Short to accompany him to Michigan City {'where, according to story which Short tellfe, the Haney story was strengthened and made refedy to be told to the governor and the public. From the date ot that Tisit to 'Michigan City, Short was employed as a detective at |2 a day. In the course of his long statement Short declares that when Baney was brought here from prison to srake the trip to the Hinshaw home to Belleville he had five sets of plans with him.

J. O. Parkar, of Danville, when Informed ef Short's story tills evening, admitted he tad taken Short te Michigan City from Chicago and has paid a fine against him in this city. The plans in question, he mvs. were drawn by Baney.

It is claimed that some of the plans are In the writing of Hinshaw?" was said to him. "If Hinshaw made any of them, he made them without my knowledge and consent."

Beautifully Planned Dinner Given to "the residential Farty By Mr. and Mr*. Sloane.

Xenox, Mass., Sept. 24.—President and •Mrs. McKinley with other members of the party reached Lennox this afternoon. They left Adams at 12:30 and arrived at Pittsfield at 1:15. The»e was an Immense crowd aboiit the station at Pittsfleld to meet them. Cheer after cheer was given for the president and his wife when they arrived on the platform. Hon. John Sloane, whose guest they will be until tomorrow noon welcomed them and escorted the party to carriages and they were driven through the business portion of the town to the soldiers' monument. At the park the president's carriage was surrounded by hundreds of school children, whose enthusiasm was so great that the president was prevailed upon to make them a short address, although he had previously stated he would not speak.

President Mcinley was introduced by Mayor Hawkins and said: Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens: I desire to express my appreciation of the gracious welcome which you have given me as I journey through your city on my way to Lenox. One of the most gratifying conditions to be found today is that splendid feeling of amity and friendship and fraternity existing in all sections of pur country. These boys and these girls whom I have seen around me In such vast numbers today in a little while must take upon themselves the great duty of citizenship. We have today a Union stronger and better and firmer than it ever was before and if these young people continues the lives of morality and virtue practiced in their youth they will be prepared to carry forward this geate nation to still greater glories. I thank you and bid you all good day."

The drive was then resumed. At the residence of Hon. J. W. Sloane, the party- was met at tihe depot by 'Mrs. Sloane and Miss Evelyn Sloane. Aifter partaking of light refreshments •?, carriage was taken for the links of the Lenox Golf Club, where the president was just in time to greet the winner of. the Lenox Cup tournament, Mr. Arthur Fenn, of Aiken, S. C. .The president, after watching the playing of several gentlemen entered the carriage again and returned to the Sloane residence.

The dining room of the Sloane mansion in which the distinguished guests were entertained, was a marvel of beautiful decorations and elaborate furnishings. Large baskets of roses were placed at intervals on the table and the center was an immense American eagle, made of roses. The wings of the floral bird were set in motion by some mechanism unseen, and it held in its talon a large electric bulb, red in color. The Lenox band of 18 pieces furnished a concert during the dinner and tihe balance of the evening.

At 8 o'clock the host, Hon. John Sloane, escorting Mrs. McKinley, led the way to the dining room. Immediately behind him were President McKinley and Mrs. Sloane. Among those who were seated at the table besides the presidential party were General John A. Kasson, ex-minister to Austria.

Immediately after dinner the guests and their host and hostess •entered the reception room and received the cottagers who had been invited by Mr. Sloane to meet his

guests.

MISS BEEM HAS AN OVATION.

The Young Woman Who Was Accused of Embezzlement.

•Hutchinson, an., Sept. 24.—Miss Eva Beem, accused of embezzling $1,800 of government fundds while acting as assistant postmaster here, who was acauitted yesterday in the federal court, had an ova'tion upon her return to Hutchinson. Fully 2,000 people, headed by the Second regiment band, met the party from Wichita at the depot. The people of Hutchinson have from the time of her indictment, last January, expressed their unequalified belief in her innocence.

The crowd which met Miss Beem included the most prominent citizens of Hutchinson. From the depot the entire crowd accompanied the party to Miss Beem's home, wheret^here was congratulatory speech making. Miss Beem will probably be reinstated at the postoffice.

KffiPT OUT BY THE POLICE.

Colored Children Who Tried to Enter the Schools at Alton, 111.

Alton, 111., Sept. 24.—The city authorities have taken a hand in the separate school question. The chief of police has instructed his en lire night and day force to keep the colored children and their parents out of the white schools. For a time it seemed that this policy would precipitate serious trouble. Policemen were stationed at each of the schools, and when the colored people came with tehlr children, the officers refused them admittance. At the Washington school, which is in a portion of the city where the colored people outnumber the whites, the negroes congregated back of the school house and held a consultation. They decided to attempt to put the children into the school in spite of the officers,* and marched over to the school yard. For a time it seemed that trouble could only be averted by permitting the negroes to enter, but the police held their ground, threatening to arrest any one who should attempt to enter. The men and women 'then remained at

dis iulce and urged the

"iA* Cascsrete stimulate liver, kidseys an* leweis. Never sicken, weaken »r gripe, jsiaa-iscw-s bsKjpalUag the city authorities

children to go in.

Some of them attempted it, but were sent bark by the police, and none was successful, save a few boys, who climbed in at the windows while the officers guarded the doors. They were promptly dislodged, and the colored people then retired again to the hill back of the school house, where they remained several hours, and then returned to their homes.

At the Irving and Lincoln schools, the same scenes were repeated. A committee of three colored men. accompanied by their attorney, then called upon President Fink, of the school board, and asked him if it was the intention of the board to persist in the policy of excluding the colored children from the schools attended by the whites. Mr. Fink assured them that such was the Intention. They then held another meeting, and instructed three of their number' to go to Springfield and meet General aimer, who had wired them that he would assist them in an effort to secure in the federal court a

to permit the negroes to attefii 'school with the white children. The negroes insist that the law is on their side, and flatly refuse to send their children to the schools built for them. The Supreme Court decisions in similar cases at fifclesburg, Quincy and Upper Alton encourage them in the belief that they will triumpfe in the courts. ,,

HINSHAW CAUGHT IN A LIE

Danville Grand Jury Shows That the Former Minister Was Completely Trapped. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 26.—The Danville grand jury yesterday filed its report on the recent investigation which had for itsobject a pardon for the Rev. W. E. Hinshaw, who murdered his wife two years ago and laid the crime on alleged burglars. All the testimony was made public yesterday and it shows that the ex-preacher was caught in a lie by the grand 'jury^ being completely trapped when he told his story. *It was attempted by Jiinphaw's 'lawyers to make it appear that convict Noah, Barney on his own confession, was with a gang of burglars who entered Hinshaw's hsusfr-the night of the murder. Bataey denied: the truth of his confession and said he ?was offered $2,000 if his story would free Hinshaw. H© slept at the prison three weeksraide by side with Hinshaw and was coached on his story. Hinshaw also drew a diagram of his house and showed it to Baney.

This diagram Hinshaw also showe# tftDr. Spinning, the prison physician, telHjng him of the Baney incident. To the grand .'Jury, however, Hinshaw denied that anyone-had ever seen the plan save Dr. Spinning, who, it seems, had been expected to help the Hinshaw people. The grand jury's report has caused a sensation, as the case had- been discussed throughout the state and Hinshaw's friends have been confident the minister would at last prove his innocence. It is now believed he is worse off than when he was sentenced for life.

iVHAT PEARY THINKS.

He Feels Sure of Reaching the Poland Thinks Andree Has Failed.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.—Lieutenant 5R E. Peary, the arctic explorer, who is inthe city today, speaking of his future plans, said: -"In addition to securing the meteor-" Ite I laid the plans for next year's expedition and when I leave again, which will be about the end of next July, it willt be to remain up th«re until I reach the jM* or.? lose my life in the attempt, if it takes" five-1 years to accomplish this object. Next summer I shall take my vessel up to Sherard Oe born Fjord and make that place my base of supplies. On the last trip I made arrangements with the Arctic Highlanders, a tribe of Esquimaux, consisting of 230 men, women and children, known as the mcst northerly tribe of human beings on earth to put in this coming winter obtaining* bear, seal and deer skins for our elothing and securing all the walrus meat they can for dog food. I have singled out eight young men of the tribe vith their wives, canoes, dogs, sledges and tents to accompany me to Sherard Osborne Fjord, which is about 300 miles farther north than their present abode. My party will consist of a surgeon, possibly another white man and myself, the rest will be Esquimaux. The latter know how to drive dogs they can go hungry and know how to get food. The conditions under which Is hail make the coming expedition are of the most satisfactory character. The American Geographical Society has assumed $150,000 to meet all expenses, and I have been given five:, years' leave of absence. I shall probably buy a new ship for next year, though we may use the Hope again. Mrs. Peary will not accompany me. I am quite sure that I shall succeed in reaching the pole. Nansen got within 260 miles of it, but AndTee did not have one chance in 1,000 when he started to drift over the pole. I do not think Andree will accomplish anything and may have lost his life long before this in his attempt."

The several inches of dust that have set

tled over everything in Vigo county could not deter a goodly crowd of people from vis

iting the race track yesterday. Of course the grounds, after these seven weeks of

drought, could not present the Inviting ap

pearance usual at this time a year. The

hills to the east, generally so beautiful in

their autumn tints the green sward of the

grounds and the freshening foliage—al! have disappeared under the sun's blighting rays. (But all these features, while pleasant for the eye to look upon, "have nothing to do with the case." Ii is the "great four-cor-nered track" that just now most deeply interests the people. Superintendent Schaal has not let pass an Idle moment since work began on the track. Handicapped as he was for the want of a soaking rain while the 500 car loads of clay were being placed, horsemen who went over the track yesterday declared it to be at feather edge. Every pebble has been picked out of the clay and the packer has rolled the track into perfect shape. All who have scrutinized it care-, fully declare it to be in as fine shape as ever

before. Of course, the,people who went out yesterday on reaching the grounds made straight atfay to see Pointer and Patchen. The "big black horse," as Patchen is known, is in the last barn, .and the knowing ones declared him to be in the pink of.condition. He looks every inch the great race horse he is, and ardent admirers could be heard to declare their, faith in his ability .to lower the twominute mark.

Star Pointer occupies the stable that Nancy Hanks called her own for so long. The big bay was not "at home" to visitors yesterday. afternoon and was supposed to be taking, a snooze behind the closed doors and windows. Plainly the Milwaukee track was net to the liking of the "Pinter Hoss" last week, but as he went but one fast mile, and that the first, it is thought he will be in fine fettle for tomorrow's supreme effort. While, ot course, the masses have made up their minds that Pointer's chances for lowering his record of 1:56^ are better than are Patchen's f«»r lowering the two-minute mark, it is nevertheless surprising to note the number of people who are "pulling" for the game son ofsPtuchen Wilkes. As now arranged Star Pointer, will, start about 3 o'clock, and it is the Durpose to aave Joe Pat,chen make his trial against time immediately thereafter.

The programme for tomorrow is a rich one. ThfS4s tru^ also o£ every day in the week, for such fields of horses have never before been gathered together, but the events for tomorrow,'even outside the Pointer and Patchen specials, are rare ones. There are twenty entries for the 2:17 trot, and it will take three heats about 2:12 to carry off the money. Among the more favored ones are Otavia, Geddes, Eagle Flanagan, Woodford C., Philonides, Surpal and Jack Dawson.

Then comes tho Sidewheeler 2:18 pacing stake for $5,000, in which local interest is enhanced by, reason of the fact that of the possible winners two are owned in Terre Haute. Josephine, Charley Ray's mare, has forced Sally Toler to step along in 2:06 to win the money, and Klvits' gray gelding Parker S. is counted upon being in the front set every heat- But aside from the locally favored ones, just look at the breadwinners —Forest Herr, that if on his good behavior, will make them all know they've been in a horse race Spalpeen, Satin Slippers and Sally Toler, that Kentucky mare that has been beaten but once this year.

There are twenty-six that up to this time think they'll take the word in the 2:28 trot and among them are some good ones—Pearline C., Oratorio, Acts Tell and Nobby.

In the 2-ryear-old pace Gus Waibel, Guy Axtell and Governor Bushnell are much touted.

Ed Sweeney, of Kokomo, who started the Louisville raoes last year, will act as starter here this week. Horsemen who have started under hioQt say he is quick and firm In his decisions and Iwndles big fields of horses cleverly.

A ccjrimittee will canvass among the business .u ses today with a view to having them s)f,a an agreement to close their places of business on Wednesday. It is thought that as the Trotting Association has gone to such expense to bring in crowds of people tomorrow, it will be no moTe than proper for the merchants to show their appreciation by doing everything in their power swell the attendance--. It has been thought that as Wednesday is a sort of "betwixt" day it would be better to make it rather than Frl'day, the general closing day.

Mayor Ross and the other city authorities have a rare chance to endear themselves to the hearts of our citizens and to create a pleasing impression ef the city that is sure to last for many a day. The dust on Main street is now about a half-foot thick. By turning on the sprinklers and utilizing the hose in theflre department Main street from the paving to the fair grounds can be passed over without the people and animals choking to death. There isn't time to introduce a resolution on this question. Turn loose the sprinkling carts and hose tonight.

Yesterday morning about 1 o'clock Charley had occasion to beat Harry Lemon, the prise fighter, half to death. Lemon is a negro, and is about the toughest specimen ef the colored rape that ever came to this city. In his fights he usually comes out secend best. He Is a piker for the police, and a man very much to be desired—away from Terre Haute. He came to this city Saturday to see Buffalo Bill's show, at least this is what hp Is supposed to have come for. He filled upon bad whisky and went first to Peggy Smith's place, on Main street. He became obstreperous here and was thrown out by Jimmy O'Donnell, the barkeep.

The black scoundrel next went to, the West Main street restaurant. He entered the place by a rear door and in the kitchen saw old Mrs. Steiner, a woman who has worked in most all of the West Side restaurants. Without ceremony he began to curse the old woman, and when she ordered him out of the kitchen he dealt her a terrible •blow i\i the face. Mrs. Steiner weighs something over 200 pounds, and she fell to the floor in a heap. But "Deafy" White was on the programing, «md the next thing Mr. "H. Lemon, the prize fighter, knew "Crazy Horse"

swas

before him. White

landed on the negro and he went down. He got up and renewed the battle. He received another poke from White and he wtfnt down again. "Deafy" didn't wait for him to get up ithe second time, but proceeded to give the whelp a sound threshing. He kicked Lemon in the face and he kicked him in the ribs. He jumped on his neck and he swatted him in the back.

The pity of the whole thing was that Merchant Policeman Thompson heard the noise and rushed in at the back door, and with the assistance of the men in the front part of the restaurant saved Lemon's life. Mrs. Steiner was assisted to her feet and after she had been given stimulants was able to go home. She will appear against Lemon this morning. The negro is in Jail charged with both drunkenness and assault and battery.

Big, awkward Charley White should be presented with a medal made of the purest gold to be found in the Klondyke. It would be altogether fitting if a diamond were set In the center of the decoration. Charley White is about one of the best known characters in Terre Haute. Some people know him as "Crazy Horse" while others call him "Deafy." Charley White is noi blessed with the mind of an Ingersoll, and he is so deaf he can't hear himself coiigh. But his heart is in the right place, and it is as big a heart as palpitates beneath the finest shirt in Terre Haute. "Deaify" White is a restaurant roustabout. He works here and there for his meals, sleeps wherever he oan' and his home is regulated altogether by his hat. If the sky piece is on his bead Charley is not at home, but if some pitying friend feeds him anh the half demented boy has a chance to take off his hat and sit down at a respectable table then he is as near Heaven as an unfortunate such as he is generally gees. For some time past "Deafy" has been working at Roily Rayburn's restaurant, on West Main street. He scrubs out, does the chords and in consideration of his board makes himself generally lywdy ubout the place.
