Louisiana Mob Holds an All Night
Carnival and Hang Three.
FORM OF TRIAL ACCORDED
VictinisStrung Up One by One as Fast
as Sentenced—Three Others \Vhip-
ped and Ordered to Leave the
Country—Two Shot to Death.
New Orleans, Dec. 15.—Iberville par-
lsh has seen many lynchings, but none
more sensational than that which oc—
curred yesterday morning near the lit-
tle town of St. Gabriel. Three negroes
were hanged by a mob and three others
were brutally whipped and ordered to
'eave the country.
George Bubur kept a store on the
Brown plantation at St. Gabriel, and
was murdered on the night of Nov. 27.
The murderers robbed the store and
got away with a. considerable amount
of money. A few days afterwards six
negroes accused of the murder were ar-
rested at Plaquemine, the seat of jus-
tice of Iberville, and confined in the
lail there. The murder 'had been most
brutal, and there was much talk of
lynching the prisoners.
Thomas Jones and James Lovigne,
the latter a. cripple, were among those
arrested. They were brought to this
city for safe keeping. They were re-
moved to Bayou Goula, three miles
from the scene of the murder, last
week, and once more the people of the
country parish declared their intention
to lynch them.
To prevent thisfthe negroes, with the
others charged with the Bubur murder,
were placed aboard the train and
started for New Orleans, Monday after-
noon, it being. the intention to keep
them here until time for the trial.
When the train was three miles from
St. Gabriel an armed mob stopped the
train at the point of weapons, took the
negroes from the law officers and took
them to the woods.
Judge Lynch’s Court sat in the woods
deliberating by the light of pine
torches. A form of trial, hasty and
one-sided, was given to the terrified
prisoners. Each was tried separately,
and a verdict of guilty was quickly
reached.
Thomas Jones was the first victim.
He was strung up in the presence of
the other prisoners, giving them a good
idea of what their fate was to be. Then
l‘im Lavigne was hanged to the same
tree, and half an hour later another
negro whose name is not reported
shared the same fate.
The mob’s thirst for blood had ap~
parently been quenched, for the other
three negroes were sentenced to be
whipped and banished from the par-
ish. They were tied to trees and beaten
until nearly dead, and then warned
never to show their faces in the neigh-
borhood again. They made off through
the swamp as fast as their wounds
The mob dispersed at
daybreak, leaving three dead negroes
hanging to a tree.
Two Shot to Death.
Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 15.—Informa-
tion comes from Kennedy, seventy-two
miles west of here, that Lewis and
Iohn Bonner, negroes, were taken from
Howe Monday night by bands of white-
cappers and shot to death.
Lewis Bonner was a United States
witness and also a. State’s witness
against whitecappers who murdered
another negro three months ago. This
is supposed to have been the cause of
the murders.
ANOTHER BOND ISSUE?
Comptroller Eckels Gives His Views
on President McKinley’s Message.
St. Louis, Dec. 15.—James H. Eckels,
Comptroller of the Currency, when
asked if.he agreed with the recom-
mendations as to the currency made
by President McKinley in his recent
message to Congress, said:
“I think they are good as far as they
go. He does not go far enough, in my
poinion, when he says certain things
ought to be done if possible. Things
that ought to be done should be done,
and especially when they so vitally
touch the country’s life. The President
admits that the $346,000,000 greenbacks
and $12,000,000 Sherman legal tenders
should be taken up, and would,
I dare say, like to see it done; but it is
a. conditional problem with him. Those
notes are simply a debt, and the only
way to get rid of a. debt is to pay it."
“How would you pay such 'a. vast
sum at one time."
“I would issue long—term 2% per cent.
gold bonds, and call those tenders in.
Then these issues could be made gold
certificates.” ‘
“Will the Dingley law produce
enough revenue to pay current ex-
penses?" ‘
“All tariff laws are problematical.
So far the law has not been the success
predicted for it, but as times improve.
the revenues will increase, and it may
produce better results.”
To Fight American Shoes.
Washington, Dec. 15.—A British cor-
poration has arranged to start a shoe
factory at Galashiels, Scotland, capa-
ble of turning out 20,000 pairs of shoes
weekly. United States Consul Fleming,
at Edinburgh, in reporting the fact to
the State Department, says this is the
beginning of an attempt to cempete
with American shoemaking, and that
a number of these factories are to be
established in different parts of the
United Kingdom.
The British reports show that more
than 45 per cent. of the total imports.
of shoes into the British colonies are of
American _manufacture.
Indian a L)‘ ncilers Betrayed.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec.
Mount has in manuscript the names of
the men who, according to Peter Hos-
tutler, made the mob who lynched the
five thieves at Versailles. It was Hos-
tutler who, acting asa decoy in the
employ of Ripley County, brought
about the arrest of the men who were
lynched. Having failed to collect from
the-county $250 in promised reward, he
now proposes to bring the lynchers to
justice. ,

[‘Ie President’s 'Mother'nuriea Be-
side Her Husband.
Canton, Ohio, Dec. 15.—The body of
Mrs, Nancy Allison McKinley was
buried beside that of her husband in
the family lot in Westlawn Cemetery
yesterday afternoon. The funeral was
the largest ever held in Canton.
Some of the most distinguished men
oi the nation were present. Thousands
of 1esidents of Stark County, and of
Ohio gathered to pay respect to the
memory of the President’s mother.
At the McKinley homestead the fam-
ily and immediate relatives and officers
of the United States Government as-
sembled at 12.30 o’clock, and a brief
service was held, conducted by Iii.
Manchester, assisted by Dr. Macafee,
of Columbus, who was President Mc-
Kinley' s pastor when he was Govern01
of Ohio.
The body of Mrs. McKinley was re-
moved to the First Methodist Church,
half a dozen blocks from her late home,
at 1 o’clock. All the available space in
the church had been taken a short time
after the building was opened. The
streets were filled about the building.
Thousands of persons formed in line to
take a' last look at the face of Mrs.
McKinley. All business houses in town
were closed
After the funeral services all of the
Washington guests were entertained at
dinner by Mrs. Harter, and at 8 o’clock
left here on the special train for Wash-
ington. The car Newport, which is as-
signed to the President, was attached
to the special train, and in it were the
President, Mrs. McKinley and Abner
McKinley.
GEN. LEE IN DANGER.
Military, Police and Detectives Now
Guard the American Consulate.
Havana, Dec. 15.—The American Con-
sulate in this city is guarded by four
soldiers of the military police of Ha—
vana and two detectives. There is
much apprehension in Government cir-
cles that an attack may be directed
upon the Consulate by the uncompris-
lng Spaniards, who are very angry
over the message of President McKin-
ley.
Gen. Lee is serene amid the storm of
passion, and continues to 1eceive every
caller with his usual politeness, and
performs his duties with great regu—
larity.
The pessimistic impressions of Senor
Canalejas concerning the war in Cuba;
and his conclusion that Spain will lose
the island, fill' several columns of an
extra issued by Diario de la Marina.
After reading the extra the press cen-
sor consulted with Gen. Blanco, and
speedy orders were sent to the Diaria
to stop the publication. Nearly the en-
tire edition of the extra was then
burned.
The insurgents are so active around
Havana city that the trains from Ha-
vana to Guanabacoa, a. town only fif-
teen minutes by rail from the capital,
are accompanied by a heavy Spanish
guard for fear of an attack from the
patriots.
COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE.
The Uniformity Contract May Fail
of Adoption.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 15. — Unless
enough signatures are obtained to
make the uniformity contract binding
upon the operators another strike'of
coal miners may be declared after Jan.
1. The contract calls for uniform, hon-
est methods of coal production and
one price for mining.
It must be signed by 95 per cent. of
the operators before it can go into ef—
fect, and just what the labors of the
commissioners have effected will be
shown at-a meeting of operators called
for Thursday.
If the contract fails to go through the
operators will demand a rate of 55
cents after 'Jan. 1, the same rate paid
by W. P. De Armitt. The present dis-
trict rate is 65 cents, and the miners
want an advance of 10 cents per ton.
The outlook is stormy. The miners
have put extra organizers into the
field, and are now preparing for any
emergency that may arise.
White Girl Freed from a Negro.
Catskill, N. Y., Dec. 15.—Judge Chase
has granted a decree annulling the
marriage of Kate Clum to Henry Mon-
dore, the Catskill negro. It was on Oct.
15 last that pretty golden-haired, blue-
eyed Kate Clum was drugged and car-
ried out of her bedroom by Henry and
Frank Mondore, two negroes living in
the Catskills, near Kingston. They
hurried away to their mountain huts
with her, and while she was still under
the influence of the drugs she was
forced to become the wife of Henry.
Horse Thief’s Long Record.
Chicago, Dec. 15.—Frederick Rubeck
has stolen within the last five years
between seventy-five thousand and one
hundred thousand dollars’ worth of
horses and buggies. A statement to
that effect was made by Rubeck him-
self to Capt. Ptacek, of the Attrill
street station. Rubeck was arrested in
Cleveland: Ohio, two weeks ago. He
was brought to Chicago under indict-
ment for horse stealing a few days
later. He gave a list of over fifty per-
sons in Chicago from whom he said he
had stolen horses and vehicles.
Kansas in u Blizzard's Grip.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 15.—Dispatches
from five towns in western Kansas
state that all that section of the coun-
try is in the path of the worst blizzard
experienced in many years. Thousands
of head of cattle are being wintered
over on the prairies and are without
shelter and many are without food, as
the prairies are covered with four to
six inches of snow. .
Woman Dies in a Theatre.
New York, Dec. 15.—Mrs. Ann
Rooney died last night in the women’s
room of Wallack’s Theatre. Her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sarah Rice, was with her.
They had occupied seats in the thiid~
row of the family circle. The mother

Not to Change Tariff Law.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The Dingley
tariff law will not be changed in any
of its customs features at thepresent
session of Congress. An understanding
to this effect has been reached by the
Republican members of the Ways and

desirable to avoid what is geneially
known as tariff-tinkering.
THE EV‘ENINC (1A
ET
CONNECTICUT’S SMALLPOX ROCK.
A Relic oi’ the Days When Inoculation:
‘Was Practioed in the Nutmeg «ate.
A party of bicyclists" from Thomas—
ton, Con-11., under the leadership of
Charles T. Hunter, while making a. run
to Hartford through Farmingtoh re-
cently unearthed a curiosity in the
Shape of a huge flat rock or ledge in
the woods, covered with names, ages
and dates. None of the dates were
later than 1794. The rock is part of
the traplform-ation which craps out of
the little mountain to the southeast of
‘Farmington, on the old road running to
New Britain. ' Upon returning Mr.
Hunter made inquiries and obtained
from an old resident of Southington
what is probably the story of the rock.
It appears from ’ the South-ington
man’s story that a. smallpox inocula-
tion hospital, owned jointly by the ad-
joining towns of Southington and
Farmington, stood in the wilderness
near the sculptured rock for three
years after 1792. The rock was the
meeting place for the hospital attend-
afits and the messengers from the two
towns. At that time and for years aft-
er, until it was forgotten, the ledge
was known as the smallpox hospital
rock.
Smallpox was held in dread by the
old residents of Connecticut, and until
Jenner’s discovery of vaccination came
into general use inoculation was prac-
ticed. Hundreds of people were in-
oculated at the Southington-Farming-
ton hospital and the names carved on
the sculptured rock are those of some
of them. There are thought to be hun-
dreds of these inscriptions, as the sur-
face of the rock has been uncovered .
for a small area only. The dates run
from 1792 to 1794. A bit of an Old
Farmington letter found by Mr. Hunter
throws further light 011 the old pest-
house times. It says under date of
1794: ' .
“The young girls here are all in the
pesthouse. I have been up to see them.
They are as thick as toads after a rain.
Nancy Hooker and Fanny Cowles have
it the hardest, but' they will do well, I
believe.”
A story is told of a bride from New
Britain who was sent during her hon-
eymoon to this old pesthouse to have
smallpox “according to orders.” She
was Mary, the daughter of Col. Gad.
Stanley, a soldier of the Revolution,
and hadjust been married to Oliver
Dewey. The young couple had planned
a wedding trip to North Carolina,
which was a long journey for those
days. It occurred to the bride’s father
that she might be exposed to smallpox
While traveling, and he insisted upon
her going, to the pest-house on the
mountain to take the disease in its
mildest form. The bride wept and en-
lreated not to be separated from her
husband, and the latter exp0stulated,
but to no avail. The old soldier was
determined. To the pesthouse she
went and after a. stay of several weeks
passed through the disease in safety.
I‘hen she went on 'her wedding jour-
ney.—.New York Sun.
A Gold Leaf Temple.
Not in America, not even in the
Klondike, but in the far-off East, at
Rangoon, the capital of Burmah, is
situated the famous golden pagoda of
1. Buddhist temple, the whole of the
exterior of which is one mass of shim-
nering gold. This generous coating of
the metal is the result of years and
rears of offerings to Buddha, for de-'
votees from all parts of the world come
10 Rangoon and bring packets of gold
leaf, which they place on the pagoda.
During the last century the King of
Burmah gave his (literal) weight in
gold to the walls of the pagoda, an of-
iering worth £9,000 sterling.

ORIGIN OF THE CARDIFF GIANT..1’
”A Fake Petrified Body which Barnum
Paid 810,000 for.
The recent discovery of _ a petrified
giant of huge proportions in the neigh-
borhood of New Haven, Conn., recalls
the first osified product which was
manufactured in California. during the
early days by a newspaper man, bear-
ing the name of Chester Hull who not.
only designed the gentleman, but after-
ward discovered the so-called fossil
himself and sold it to P. T. Barnum.
who exhibited it around the country as -
the Cardifl giant.
Hull, who had a. liking for clay mod-
elling, conceived the idea of construct-
ing a colossal man of cement and bury-
ing it in a damp spot on a_ heavily
wooded hillside, where, after three
years of interment, it would become
mouldy and assume evidence of greai
age. When the time arrived for ex-
huming the fake Hull, accompanied by
his brother, who was also something
of a humorist, took out a picnic party,
and as though by accident spread their
lunch baskets on the very spot where
the cement man was moulding him-
self into artificial age. Hull insisted
on roasting some potatoes, broughi
along for the occasion, and proceeded
to dig a hole wherein to build a fire
While digging he came upon what
proved to be the foot of his previous
plant. —
He then got an old broken down
geologist and an anatomist to swear
that the fossil was genuine and notified
Barnum at once. When the old show-
man saw the s-o-called petrification he
looked at Hull laughingly and said:
“My boy, I know it’s a take, but What’s
it worth to you?"
The builder modestly asked $10,000,
and got it, and, turning over the sworn
statement of the geologist that it was
stone, and thatgofthe anatomist that
it Was once alive, delivered the crea-
tion to its purchaser, who took it on
the road and made ten times the money
he had invested.
FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
Origin of the Custom Dates Back to the
Reign of Hugh Capet.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet,
King of France in 987, says Vogue.
Once as Hugues was arranging his
uncle’s affairs he found on ore of the
estates a servant who had grown gray
in the service of his relative. He had
been such a friend of his master’s that
he was almost looked upon as one 01
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a. serving woman who was rs old
as he, and also unmarried, and who
had been the most devoted and haul-
working of the women servants oi
the king’s uncle. When the King
heard these praises of the (two, he or-
dered them to be brought before him
and said to the woman:
“Your service is great, greater than
this man’s, whose services were great
enough, [for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore I will give you a
reward. At your age I know of none
better than'a dowry and a. husband.
The dowry is here—this farm from this
time on belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you
then the husband is ready.”
“Your Majesty," stuttered the old
peasant confusedly, “how is it possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?”
“Then it shall be a silver wedding,"
answered the king, “and here I give
you a wedding ring," drawing a costly
ring from his finger, and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France, and raised such enthusiasm
that it became a. fashion after a twen-
ty-five years' marriage to celebrate a
silver wedding.
ni.’ mun:
When the young man called to ask
for the old‘man’s daughter, the latter
naturally thought it was necessary to
out up a good ‘blufi', that being the
isual method of procedure. Conse-
iuently, he looked solemn, coughed
mm or twice as a. sort of preliminary,
:ommuned with himself a minute or
:wo, coughed again, and asked:
“Can you support her" in the‘ style
:0 which she has been accustomed?”
“If I couldn’t” returned the young
nan promptly, "I ought to be ashamed
)f myself.”
The old man’s bluff was called.

The practiceof the economies in the
fruit-raising sections of the west has
leveloped a new article of export. Un-
:11 recently the orchard owners and the
evaporator managers did not think of
utilizing the cores and the parings of
apples. They occasionally sold them
10 the jelly-makers or fed them to the
hogs, but more generally allowed them
:0 accumulate as refuse in great heaps,
which slowly fermented and decayed.
This year, in many places, the parings
and the cores are being saved. They
are spread out in the hot sun and
dried, after which they are packed in
large sacks and held for buyers, who
gather them up and send away in car
lots. The destination of the dried par-
lngs and cores in these large quanti—
ties is France.
refuse of the orchards of the Missouri
valley and the Ozark country is now
largely employed in the manufacture
of champagne by the thrifty wine-
makers of the vineclad slopes of
