J6. —Henry j Moles, a negro, was yesterday burned i by a mob 112 6.000 citizens for erim- | inally assaulting and shooting to Heath | Mrs. Charles Williams. wife of a prom- ; inent farmer, near Winchester, Tenn., I last Friday. Admitting his crime and j asking his friends to meet him in | glory, he met his fate without even a groan. He was Raptured early yesterday , morning at Water Tank, near Cowan, I Tenn.. and was taken to Winchester 1 by his captors and placed in the county \ jail. Sheriff Stewart made haste to j barricade the jail and protect the prisoner. Soon an angry mob of sev- ; eral hundred men gathered, but As- . sistant Attorney General Matt. N. j Whittaker appeared and made a speech to the crowd, urging them to assist him in allaying excitement and upholding the majesty of the law. He ; promised to reconvene the grand jury i today to indict the negro promptly and ; have him speedily tried at the present term of court, assuring the crowd that | his conviction and legal execution ; wore a foregone conclusion. This ap- ! peal was supplemented by Judge J. : ,T. Lynch, Captain W. P. Tolley and j others. No sooner had their appeals been made than several hundred citi- j zms from the neighborhood where j the crime was committed came up and | augmented the crowd to thousands. They swept forward upon the jail. ; ovei powered the sheriff and his depu ties. took the prisoner and started at 10.15 a. m.for the scene of the crime, ! 12 riiles distant. The mob was determined, and it \ seemed that almost the entire popula- J tion for miles around had turned out ; to see the fate of the wretch. The procession followed the mob to the i Williams home. Arriving at a point i in sight of the scene of the crime, the negro was placed upon a stump and j given a chance to make a statement. ! He mounted the stump stolidly and laughed as he began his statement. He ; said: "Tell all my sisters and brothers to i meet me in glory. I am going to make that my home. Tell my mother to meet me where parting will be no more." "Why did you kill Mrs. Williams?" ; was asked. "I just done that because 1 had noth- j ins else to do." He was taken from the stump, bound j to a tree by chains and his body sat- ■ urated with oil. At 1.40 p. m. a match was applied, and instantly the quiver- j ing body war. enveloped in flames, j F.-nce rails were piled about the burn- 1 ifig body, and soon life was extinct. j History of the Crime.

Hoey. collector of customs at Nogales, has left for that place on a call from Lemoore, special assist ant to Attorney General Knox. It is understood that holds war rants for the arrest of Hoey and B. F. Jossey, Chinese inspector, charged with smuggling Chinese from Mexico into the United States. When shiiwn the Washington dispatch stating that a big conspiracy for smuggling Chi nese, in which he and Jossey are im plicated. had been unearthed, Hoey de clared that there was no truth in the charges. "I have not been arrested and do not believe I will be," said he. "No smug gling has been done through Nogales during my term. More Chinamen have been deported from my district than #ny other, with one exception." The implication of Hoey caused a big sensation. It has long been known that Secret Service officials were labor ing to stop the smuggling of China men but with little success. Several Chinamen have been captured and de ported, but many more, and many Chi nese girls, have been brought across the border. There has been no public opinion that the customs officials were implicated. AERONAUT'S PECULIARACCIDENT After Falling 300 Feet, Mosquitoes Al most Stung Him to Death. New York. Aug. 23.—Benjamin Ben jamin. an aeronaut, fell from his balloon while making an ascent yes terday at the Hoboken, N. J., Schuet zen Park. Benjamin fell possibly 300 feet into the Hackensack meadows, and this probably saved his life, as he landed in mud and water, sinking up to his neck. His injuries arose not only from the shock of the fall, but the onslaught of myriads of mosquitoes which attacked him as he was stuck in the mud. and whose sting made his features unrecognizable.

Will Be of Use In Case of Another Uprising. Manila, Aug. 26. -In the city of Ma nila there are now less than 1.000 effec tive soldiers, and it has been decided to increase this number by four com panies of Infantry. The official reason for the increase is that the guard duty is teo heavy for the present force. As a matter of fact, however, there is a fealiHg that, although there is no ap parent prospect of trouble, neverthe less, in the event of an uprising in the future such as is always possible among the Malays, it would be better to have a sufficient body of troops available for such an emergency. Russian Forest Fires Blamed On Jews. London.

Woman Covered With Blood Ran Inlo Club Room. Corning. N. Y., Aug. 24. —Passengers on the Erie limited. No. 5, had a lively experience between Elmira and Corn ing last night. After the train left Elmira a woman started running through the train screaming that some one was trying to place her under an anaesthetic. She fought off her im aginary foe with a big jack knife. With her were her two sons, aged 14 and 17, who were afflicted the same as the mother. The passengers were terror ized, and the trainmen had the great est difficulty In restraining them. When the train reached here the wom an made a dash, and with her hand smashing the large plate glass In the car vestibule, she jumped from the train, followed by the two boys. They ran a block and then rushed into the Corning Club, where the woman, bleed ing and bruised, screamed for help. The clubmen, believing that murder was about to be committed, scattered in all directions The woman and her two sons were finally caught by the police and a doctor dressed her nu merous cuts and bruises. She gave her name as Dr. Nellie Poor, and said her sons' names were Henry and Robert. They lived, she said, at 618 Kimbeck avenue, Chicago. They were detained at. police headquarters until the afternoon, when they were allowed to go. The woman and her sons ap parently had taken some strong nar cotic, which crazed them temporarily. They were apparently all right and proceeded to Chicago today. SCI JAN mill) DOWN I French Ambassador Secured De-' mands Iu Five Days. CONSTANS' BLUFF WORKED WELL I Sultan's Promises Regarding the Pur- , chase of Quays and Settlement of Disputed Claims' Broken. English Critics Say "Only a Paper Victory." . Constantinople, Aug. 26—M. Con- ' Btans, the French ambassador, sent a note to the porte last Thursday to the effect that he would leave Constanti- j nople August 2<i unless the French claims were settled. Thereupon Tew fik Pacha, the Turkish minister of foreign affairs, called at the French j embassy and informed M. Constans that the porte had abandoned the idea i convinced that the purchase would be j THE SITLTAN OF TURKEY, of purchasing the quays, first, because a bad speculation for Tur.key, and. second, on account of the financial dif ficulty involved, as the Ottoman gov ernment had no hope that the Paris market would take up a loan to cover the purchase. M. Constans then gave the Ottoman government until Mon day (today) to issue an irade granting the quays complete full rights and in deminty for the two years during which the company had been deprived of those rights. That M. Constans' bluff was successful is shown by the haste with which the sultan issued the irade on Saturday, two days before the time limit expired. The whole story of what caused the sultan to give up so quickly is told in these two dispatches: Constantinople. Aug. 22—The French ambassador. M. Constans, has notified the sultan's first secretary that all diplomatic relations between France and Turkey are broken off, and that the ambassador has informed his gov ernment to this effect. M. Constans communicated directly with tiie sul tan. because the latest negotiations were transacted with the sultan per sonally. Two questions have caused the break between the two nations. They have been pending for sonw time. One is the affair of the French Quay com pany (M. Constans). on behalf of his government, demanding that Turkey purchase for 40,000,000 francs the quays built by the French company. The other is the claim of Frenchmen against the porte, the amount of which was fixed and payment promised long ago. Paris, Aug. 23. —The French cruiser Cassara has sailed from Toulon for Turkish waters, and four other war ships are under orders to follow her immediately. The foreign office will give no formal confirmation of the re port that the ships are to menace Constantinople. In spite of this fact the approaching visit of the Czar to France over shadows the interest taken in any pos sibility of war with Turkey. The. apathy of the public is reflected in the newspapers. Generally the view is taken that the matter will soon be set tled to France's satisfaction. FRANCE'S VICTORY IS EMPTY. Brisish Theory Is That Turkey Was Gold Bricked. I.ondon, Aug. 20—Although the French papers hail Turkey's yielding as a great triumph for France, more especially as it was largely believed that the sultan's obduracy was due to the supposed friendship between Ger many and Turkey, it is felt in London, despite considerable satisfaction over the affair, that there is a grave doubt as to whether France has achieved more than a paper victory. The British theory is that M. Con stans really wished to force Turkey to purchase quays which are notoriously unremunerative. The sultan has avoid ed this, thus securing the practical results, while leaving to M. Constans the empty congratulations. WESTING HOUSE TALKS. Says He and Yerkes Are Friendly—No Antipathy to Americans. New York, Aug. 2G. -George West- Vnghouse who, on his return from Eng land Saturday, refused to discuss the affairs of the District Underground Railway of London, of which Charles T. Yerkes is in control, rnanged his mind yesterday, lie said that there were no differences between Mr. Yerkes and himself and that Mr. Yerkes had awarded to the British Westinghouse company the contract for 30.000 horse power engines and generators for his Metropolitan District railway enter prise and will require much more' ap paratus. the manufacture of which in England will be advantageous to his interests. He said that while there was a natural desire to see Englishmen conduct London railway enterprises there was no particular antipathy to Americans doing it. STATK CAMPAIGN iIANS Chairman Reeder Arranges To In augurate The Coming Canvass, THE CLUB LEAGUE CONVENTION Young Republicans All Over the State Are Preparing for a Great Meeting of Delegates at Scranton On Sep tember 17 and 18. (Special Cor respond en re.) Philadelphia, Aug. 27.—General Frank Reeder, who has just been re elected chairman of the Republican state committee was In this city yes terday arranging for the formal open ing of the Republican state campaign. General Reeder says he expects to find the party reaping the benefit of the exhibition of harmony given at the state convention last week and that he counts upon the enthusiastic sup port of Republicans of all factions in behalf of the state ticket. The headquarters of the state com mittee are being fitted up and soon the machinery of the organization will be working night and day to get the canvass under way. What will practically be the formal opening of the fight will be the annual convention of the State League of Re publican Clubs which will be held at Scranton on the 17th and 18th of Sep tember. There lias been a wonderful interest manifested in the workings of the league and the prospects are very gratifying for a large attendance of prominent Republicans at this gath ering of the elans. The City of Scran ton is noted for its hospitality and there is reason to believe that excep tional arrangements will be made this year for the entertainment of the dele gates and other visitors to the con vention. J. Hampton Moore, president of the State League of Republican Clubs, has just issued his call for the convention. As usual, the league will have the honor of opening the Republican cam paign in the state. Steps will be tak en at once in Scranton and on the part of the executive officers to ar range for a convention that will not only be pleasurable to all attending, but highly beneficial from a Republi can point of view. There will probably be a lively con test this year for the various offices. There have been several candidates suggested for the presldeni v of the league, among them Deputy Attorney General Kred W. Fleitz, of Lacka wanna; Postmaster Isadora Sabel. of Erie, and ex-Mayor Crosby N. Black, of Chester. While there has been no one slated for this honor, the indica tions seem to favor the election of Mr Fleitz, a talented young Republican, who lias done splendid work upon the stump in several campaigns The fact that the league will take a conspit nous part in the next gubernatorial cam paign makes this year's convention one of special importance. STORE ORDER TAX. As the citizens of Pennsylvania re flect upon the work of the last legis lature they will discover that there was much done by that body, which Is entitled to commendation. The demand from the working men i>f the state for the passage of a law which would break up the in iquitous store order system, under which employees have been paid their wages in orders on company stores Instead of cash, was recognized by the Republican members of the legislature j In the passage of the bill taxing store orders. The corporations which have been i affected by this legislation are already seeking to get around the act and thoy have appealed to the courts to help them. This is one of the acts endorsed by the United Mine Workers' legislative committee. Neuralgia. The Prayer of a Nerve for More Blood.

J Sometimes it seems that advertising is being wasted, that there is no possible way that it will turn out profitably, but if the advertiser will keep right on he will find clear business channels opening, and in the end will make a safe land ing in the harbor of success. A little advertising may be unprofitable when a great deal would pay handsomely. Short-time advertising seldom pays. That is the reason that ads in the many ephemeral "schemes" that come to every business man _ jlfflfc. arc never profitable.
