Horrible Lynching of a Negro
Near Newnan, Ga.
Ills Ilody Cut to Pieces and Distributed
Among the Mob a Souvenir Tho
Mutilation llegan Hi fore tho Torch
Wa Applied Sickening Detail of tho
Affair.
NEWNAN. Ga.. April 24. In the
presence of 2,000 people who sent aloft
yells of defiance and shouts of Joy, Bam
Hose, a negro, who committed two of
the basest acta known to crime, was
burned- at the stake In a public road
one and one-half miles from here. Be
fore the torch was applied to the pyre,
the negro was deprived of his ears,
fingers and other portions of his anat
omy. The negro pleaded pitifully for
his life, while his mutilation was going
on, but stood the ordeal of fire with
surprising fortitude. Before the body
was cool -It was cut to- - places, the
bones were cf usfted Jnto -e.ms.ll bits Jind
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The negro's heart was
cut In several pieces as was also his
liver.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, former gover
nor of Georgia, met the mob as he was
returlnlng from hurch, and he . ap
pealed to them to let the law take Its
course. In addressing the mob he
used, these words: "Some of you are
known to. me and when this affair Is
finally settled in the courts you may
depend upon It that I will testify
against you."
A member of the mob was seen to
draw a revolver and level it at ex
Governor Atkinson,' but his arm was
seized and the pistol taken from him.
The mob was frantic at delays and
"tild hear to nothing but burning at
.io stakes -
If. -wi. confessed to killing Cranford,
toutrlwnled he had outraged Mrs.
Cranford. Before being put to death
the negro stated that he hud been
paid $12 by "Life" Strickland, a negro
preacher at Puimetto, to kill Cranford.
Bam Huse killed Alfred Cranford, a
white farmer, and outraged his wife
lOin.ago. Since that time business
a ta'pait of the state has been sua
pended, the entire population turning
out in an effort to capture Hose. He
successfully eluded pursuit until dls
covered near Macon.
-"'The road for a distance of half a
mile on'Wfch-stde of the burning negro
"fts Wack .with conveyances and was
simply impartiable. The crowd sur
rounded the stake on all sides, but
none of those nearer than 100 feet of
the center was able to see what was
going on. Yell after yell went up
andihe progress of the names was
communicated to those In the rear by
shouts from the eye witnesses.
The torch was applied about half
past t ft.' i:'-. and at 3 o'clock the body
of Sam Hose was limp and lifeless, his
head hanging to one side. The body
was not cut down. It was cut to pieces.
The crowd fought for places about the
smouldering tree, and with knives at
cured such pieces of his carcass as
did not fall to pieces. The chain was
severed by hammers, the tree was
chopped down and with such pieces of
firewood as had not burned, were car
ried away as souvenirs.
ANOTHER LYNCHING.
Llge
Strickland Meet a Similar Fato ta
r- That of Sam lloae.
PALMETTO, Ga., April 24. Elijah
Strickland, the negro preacher, who it
accused by Sam Hose, the negro burned
to death near Newnan of paying Host
$12 to murder farmer Alfred Cranford
was captured by a mob of people from
this vicinity, three miles out of town,
He was brought to Palmetto and placed
on trial for his life by a court composed
of those who had arrested him. Speech
es for and against his character were
made..
Finally the court adjourned to meet
In the woods one mile from town. The
negro was taken to the woods and tied
to a tree. He protested his Innocence,
but his appeals had no effect on the
mob and the same brutal treatment
was meted out to hlin as was to Hose.
His body was not cut to pieces aftet
death as the former's was, but the
tortures before the torch was applied
were the same. Strickland was 6(
years old.
QUAY NOT GUILTY.
Governor Stone at Once Appoint Him
United State Senator.
PHILADELPHIA. April C2. The
Jurors who for the past 10 days have
been considering the charges of con
splracy by former United States Sena
tor Matthew Stanley Quay to use the
state's money Illegally after nearly 20
hours' deliberation, brought In a ver
dict of not guilty and a little more than
an hour after this verdict was recorded
word was received here that Governoi
Stone had appointed Mr. Quay to rep
resent the state of Pennsylvania In the
United States senate pending the next
session of the legislature. Shortly aft
er this word was received Senator Quay
left for Washington. The notification
that he had been appointed to the sen
ate was received when he was in the
Hotel Walton.
"The appointment of Colonel Quay
as his own successor In the senate at
Washington was not looked for so
soon. The story goes that Governor
Stone determined upon this course re
cently after a consultation with the
friends of the Heaver statesman, and
when the Jury said "Not guilty" he
quickly made up his mind. He said
that having been acquitted he had
nominated Quay to fill the office of
United States senator until the next
meeting of the legislature, for the rea
son that he felt it the fit and proper
thing' to do. He suggested that it met
the issue, and was better done now
than by waiting and talking for weeks.
Ilrlgadler Urneral Appointed.
WASHINGTON April 25. The pres
ident has appointed Colonel James F.
Smith of the First California volunteer
regiment, a brigadier general of vol
unteers. The regiment is now In the

MONONGAHBILA, Pa., April 21.
Thomas M. Reese of Company A,
Tenth regiment, writes from the Phil
ippine, In part, as follows:
"I believe I make no mistake when I
say that 90 per cent of the volunteers
would hall with delight the opportun
ity to go home. They are very much
adverse to fighting the Filipinos,
claiming that they enlisted In the war
with Spain, and not to subjugate a
people who are fighting for Independ-
ence.
"Agulnaldo says he will conduct
the war after the manner of civilized
nations, but has failed to do so. I
know of numerous cases where the
white flag of truce has been dis
played, but when our people have ap
proached It they have been fired upon
by natives In ambush. They respect
none of the common rules of warfare
and their righting is of the dangerous
and disorganised guerrilla kind."

OUR FOREIGN TRADE
Th Fiscal Year of 1808 Wa the Ban
ner Year For Fiport.
WASHINGTON. April 24. The fiscal
year of 1898 was the banner year of the
foreign trade In the United States, our
exports being the largest ever record
ed for a like period and our exports
exceptionally small. According to a
comprehensive report Just prepared by
Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the sec
tion of foreign markets of the agricul
tural department, the total value of our
domestic exports reached the enormous
sum of $1,210,291,310. On the other hand
the Imports during 1898 were the small
est since 1885, their value being $616,
049,654, a decline of $148,680,758 from the
figures of 1897. Broadly stated, for
every dollar's worth of foreign mer
chandise brought into the United
States $2 worth of our products found
a market abroad. Our domestic ex
ports as compared with our Imports
showed an excess of $394,242,259, or
more than twice the excess for 1897,
which was the largest previously re
ported. An interesting fact developed by the
report of Mr. Hitchcock Is the increase
In the exports of agricultural products,
being 70.93 per cent of the total, or
$858,507,942, a gain of nearly 25 per cent
over 1897. Exports of this class alo
show a greater gain proportionately
than non-agrlcultuarl experts. Our
purchases of foreign agrlcultuarl pro
ducts in 1S98 amounted to only $314,
291,196, as compared with $100,871,468 In
1897, a decrease of $86,579,672, or about
22 per cent. The value of the American
farm produce abroad during 1898 was
much more than double that of our ag
ricultural Imports, the excess of the
former over the latter amounting to
$544,216,146. In 1897 the excess on the
side of the agricultural exports was
only $288,883,725, and in the years im
mediately preceding still smaller.
CAUSED BY ACCIDENT.
Coroner' Inqneat Iuto the Diiuutroo
Windsor Hotel rire.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The Inquest
into the disastrous Windsor hotel fire
was held by Coroner Bausch.
Battalion Fire Chief Binn testified
that he thought the fire must have
originated In the cellar.
After deliberating half an' hour, the
Jury returned the following verdict:
"We find that Isabella C. Leland,
Helen Leland. Mella A. Paddock and
others came to their deaths on or about
the 17th of March, 1899, by conflagra
tion of the Windsor hotel. We find
that the origin of the said conflagra
tion was due to accidental causes and
was not In any way due to the lack
of proper and usual facilities for ex
tinguishing fires.
"We also find that within three mln
utes from the time of the alarm of
fire was received In this Instance by
the fire department, the first com
pany was at the scene of the fire and
had water upon the flames."
Chief of Police Devery says that
$10,000 worth of Jewels, silverware.
clothing and other property, found in
the ruins of the Windsor hotel, will be
put on exhibition for 10 days In the
hope that they might be Identified and
claimed. At the expiration of that
period anything remaining will be
turned over to the police property
clerk.

MANILA, April 24. General Law
ton's newly formed flying column, that
started out from Manila to Join Gen
eral MacArthur In a circuitous route,
outflanking the rebels. If possible, had a
severe engagement with the rebels at
Quingua, which proved quite disas

The following were killed:
Colonel John M. Stetsenburg of the
First Nebraska regiment, formerly of

Lieutenant Lester E. Slsson of the
same regiment.
Two privates of the Nebraska regi
ment. Three privates of the Fourth cavalry.
Most of the wounded belonged to

The Filipinos retreated with Btnall

Colonel Stetsenburg had won a rep
utation as one of the bravest fighters
In the army. He always led his regi

popularity with his men since the war
began, although, during his first col

CUBAN MUSTER ROLLS.
General Hrooke Will Accept Them a
They Came From the Cuban Officer.
HAVANA, April 21. Governor Gen
eral Brooke In the distribution of the
$3,000,000 to the Cuban soldiers, has
determined to treat the Cuban officers
as soldiers and g" Hemen and not to
endeavor to go behind the rolls they
submit. Hence the Cuban lists will be
accepted on their face, with the elim
inations of those who entered the army
after July, 1898, and those who are
actually holding office. Any Cuban
named on the lists who is identified by
his captain will get a share. General
Gomez will probably receive a share.
The names of several American news
paper correspondents are among the
privates. These men who are now In
Havana ask that the word "honorary"
be put after their names and announce
that they will not take their portion.
The Spanish bank here Is understood
to be merging with a New York bank
to found a Bank of Cuba with a capital
of $10,000,000, half of which is to be
supplied by the Spanish bank. .
Several Washington law firms,
through Havana connections, have
agreed to push Cuban and American
claims, at no expense to the claimants,
for 40 per cent of the amount of the
money recovered. At present there are
about $30,000,000 of claims on file.
