walked away from the other four

that made the rowing sharps simply

A Northern Lynching.
A mob of a couple of thousand men
Monday night at Wilmington, Del.,
broke Into the county workhouse bent
on lynching George White, the negro
who was held on a charge of assault
ing and killiDg Helen Bishop.
The guards defended the place and
a boy and a man, members of the
mob, were shot and slightly injured.
The guards played a strong stream
of water from a hose Into the crowd,
which stubbornly held Its ground and
declared they would get the negro.
The negro was taken to the scene of
the crime. He there confessed to hav
ing assaulted tie girl. Ho was then
burned to the stake and his body rid
dled with bullets.
The excitement attending the grue
some tragedy enacted Monday night
when George F. White the negro mur
derer of seventeen-year-old Helen
S. Bishop, was burned at the
stake, has subsided. The swift and
dire punishment meted out to the per
petrator of the crime Is the sole topic
of conversation but the details are
calmly rehearsed.
During the show of resistance made
by the police and the Jail officials
when the mob attacked the New Castle
county workhouse, Peter Smith, a
12 year old boy, was shot In the back.
The bullet which struck him evident
ly came from a pistol In the crowd,
as It is claimed by the prison war
den that his guards fired over the
heads of the lynchers. Smith died
Wednesday afternoon.
Another young man, whose name is
unknown, was slightly injured. The
only other persons known to have
been hurt was a man who -was kicked
by White, when the negro attempted
to escape from his torturers, and
another man who had his arm burned.
Mrs. Bishop, mother of the mur
dered girl, Is In a state of extreme
nervousness. White was put to death
within a few hundred yards of the
Bishop house and the glare of the fire
and howls of the mob could plainly
be seen and heard at the house.
Farmer Murdered In Field.
The Ontario county authorities have
arrested and lodged in county jail
at CananrJaigua Edward Sexton, 35
years of age, on the charge of killing
with a shot gun, on the evening of
Tuesday, Thomas Mahaney, Jr., a fel
low farmer, at their home, in Farming
ton. In 1899 Sexton was arrested and con
victed on a charge of assault in the
third degree, for shooting at Thomas
Mahaney, Sr., the father of the man
Just murdered. He served 00 days In
jail for the crime, although he broke
jail once, but was recaptured. At
that time, it is charged, he swore
vengeance on the Mahaney family.
The murder was a foul one, the
assassin creeping up behind Mahaney
while he was drilling beans in the
field, just out of the sight of his
family, who heard shots, but suspect
ed nothing wrong till the team came
running In from the field. The body
was found lying on Its face with a
terribly mangled skull, the entire
charge of shot piercing the left eye,
ear and temple. The murder aroused
ihe entire community and bloodhounds
were taken to the Bpot by the authori
ties, but th heavy rainfall hampered
(lie dogs. Sexton was found at his
.'h latnr The officers who went
to sene the warrant had to Datiei
down Sexton's door to get at him
He was dragged out of his house anc
went quietly with the officers.
President at Oyster Bay.
President Roosevelt passed a qule
Sunday with his family at his Saga
more Hill home.
It Is announced by Secretary Loet
that the president will receive few cal
lers at Sagamore Hill this summer
and those who hope to see him wil
be obliged to make engagement!
through Mr. Loeb in advance of theii
arrival at Oyster Bay.
The president will devote his morn
lngs to the transaction of executive
business and afternoons to recreatiot
and rest During the afternoons, tot
he will receive euch callers as ma)
have engagements with him or those
whom he may summon to Sagamore
Hill.
The executive offices selected foi
Secretaries Loeb and Barnes and the
jcfcjrical force this year are much
more commodious and convenient than
those occupied last year. They con
sist of six rooms in the second storj
of the Moore block and are well a-r-ranged
and admirably adapted to the
purposes of the executive staff. The
desks and other furniture In the offices
are chiefly those which were used in
the executive offices of the old White
House.
President Rooosevelt will spend nc
time In the offices, his work being
done in his library at Sagamore Hill
The offices are in direct communica

Bradstreet's Review of Trade.
Crop, trade and labor conditions
still present some irregularities, but
six months' trade returns point to
actual business having been better
than a year ago, and the situation, as
a whole, shows favorable features pre
dominating as to the future.
The iron and steel situation seems
to have Improved slightly.
Some large strikes have been for
mally ended, and the two leading
troubles are those of the textile work
ers at Philadelphia and the building
hands at New York. The disorder at
Richmond Is due to a strike of a rela
tlveiy insignificant number of em
ployes. High prices for raw materials, no
tably cotton, constitute a drag upon
future business, the full effects ol
which cannot, yet be measured until
the turn of the year, when the crop
situation becomes more clearly de
fined. The situation, in fact, may be said
to be a waiting one, but confidence in
the future Is still predominant.

Reply to Tulloch Charges.
Charles E. Smith, succeeded as
postmaster general by Mr. Payne, has
made public his reply to the charges
mnde by Mr. Tulloch, In connection
with the postofflce Investigation. Mr.
Smith's letter explains that all the
transactions described in the Tulloch
statement as Irregular were examined
and a report was made to him, which
gave the facts and the explanations
in each case. These explanations, he
said, had never been challenged. The
explanations of the Tulloch charges,
Mr. Smith says, have been on file since
1S89. Most of the explanations are
that military exigency justified the
course taken.

creased his lead until near the flnlsl
he was one eighth of a mile aheai

through the sail of the Kearsarge'i
launch, tearing away part of it. Be

Lieutenant Mustin and Ensign Steele
both outsailed the German boats it
turning the mark buoys and thej
gained severa 1 seconds on eacl
turn. The German crews, althougl
they cheered the Amrlcan winners
could not help feeling vexed, because
they had been training for a fortnight
for this event.
The emperor presented fie prizes t
the winners at the yacht club at night
in the shapo of personal gifts to th
officers commanding the launches. En
sign Steele received a silver cup
"I hope you will drink many a bumpei

SHOT BY HIS HOUSEKEEPER?
That It the Theory of the Police Re
garding the Injuries cf J. L. Rosso.
New Brunswick, N. J., June 30.
John L. Rosso, Jr., Is likely to die. He
was shot through the abdomen on Fri
day morning at 2 o'clock at his home
at Kingston. At 4 o'clock that morn
ing Miss Flossie Fawcett, his house
keeper, gave the alarm. Both she
and Rosso have since declared that
some man who climbed Into Rosso's
room by nreans of a ladder fired the
shots. Their stories do not agree,
and the county prosecutor does not
believe that anyone was In tho house
at the time of the shooting besides
themselves. The woman is In Jail
here, and is under medical care.
Miss Faive'tt has lived with Rosso
for three years, going to Kingston,
where the shooting took place, from
New York. Sho refuses to tell any
thing about her family. She Is of gxxl
address.
Sh declares that she screamed for
help after the assailant fired three
shots. Aaron Hurley, who lives with
in 400 feet of the Rosso place, declares
that he heard one shot and that he
heard no screams.
There Is no evidence In the room
that more than one shot was fled.
The bullet was found In the hallway,
several feet from the bedroom where
Rosso says the shot was fired. The
bullet Is of the same calibre as those
used In Rosso's revolver. The re
vclver contained two cartridges In
the afternoon before the shooting.
When found afterward thero was but
one cartridge In It.
The police believe that In the two
hours that Intervened between the
shooting and the alarm to tho neigh
bors Rosso and the woman became
reconciled, and that they planned the
story of the night assault.
