MOB SURROUNDING JAIL
Insolence of Colored Man Provokes
Remonstrance, Whioh Is Met
With ' Bullets Stampede
From Fair Grounds.
MACON. Ga.. pet. 6. About 10 o'clock
tonight Charles Adams and William
Solomon, prominent young white men,
were shot by a negro and seriously In
jured at the fair grounds, where night
shows were being given. The Midway
was thronged with hundreds of people.
Adams and Solomon were escorting
two young women, when a negro In a
very offensive manner forced his way
between the couples; separating them.
A remonstrance from the young men led
to an encounter, when the negro whipped
out a revolver arm opened fire on Adams
and Solomon, both receiving wounds in
the stomach. The negro was promptly
arrested and placed In jail.
A general stampede ensued among
blacks and whites, as friends of the
wounded men made threats of ven
geance. Young women scrambled Into
cars and hacks and sought home at once.
A mob of 200 soon formed and half of
them went to the Jail and the others to
the barracks. The barracks were so
well guarded that no effort was made
to storm them, and this contingent -of
enraged citizens Joined those at the Jail,
which was vigorously stormed. Stren
uous efforts are being made to prevent
trouble, the Mayor exercising all power
at his command. '
During the excitement - at the park
Pierce Bronson. a negro, fired a 38-callber
pistol at Luther Howard (colored), the
ball passing through his heart.
MACON. Ga., Oct. T, 2 A. M. The mob
at the Jail is becoming less demonstra
' tlve, as the negro they seek has been
placed In the barracks, which Is well
guarded.
This fact becoming known, had a
quieting effect.
TWO LTXCIIIXGS NEAIl MOBILE
Mob Holds t'p" Sheriff and Takes
Prisoners From Him.
. MOBILE. Ala., Oct. 6. Two hundred
masked men met Sheriff Powers with
two negroes, charged with assault, at
Prltchard switch, three miles north of
Mobile on the Southern Railway, took
his prisoner away from him and hanged
them on the Bpot. No others were. hurt.
The negroes had been taken to Birming
ham for safekeeping and were being
brought to Mobile for trial.
A tremendous, crowd.. surrQunded. Jhe
railroad station during the morning, and
when the report of the lynching of the
negroes was received,. . the greatest ex
citement prevailed. The- crowd was ap
parently dissatisfied with the method of
execution, hanging, and a mob de
parted for the scene with the declared
intention of burning the bodies.
Blob of Avengers Goes Out.
A committee of 60 men left here on the
Southern Railroad at 6 o'clock this morn
ing to meet Sheriff Powers. Two thou
sand men met the Louisville & Nashville
train this morning, but were disappointed
at the nonarrlval of the Sheriff and pris
oners, who had gone by another route.
Crimes have been recently committed
upon 13na May Fowler, Lillian May Sa
vell. Ruth Seraman, and attempts have
been made on others whose names are
not given.
Forty-flve men avenged them in a lone
ly place Just off the Holt road. The lead
ers ordered the men, who were armed
with revolvers, shotguns and rifles, not
to fire a shot, and the orders were car
ried out.
Robinson First to Die.
Robinson, who committed the first
crime that startled the people of Mobile
and worked them Into a fury, was first
strung up. A long half-Inch rope was
thrown ovuft the limb of a live oak tree.
According to the statements of the lead
ers, Robinson confessed and was then
swung up. He slowly strangled to death.
He was jerked up a distance of about IS
feet and the rope fastened. Another re
port is that Robinson said that he was
not the man.
Thompson was hanged as soon as the
body of Robinson had been strung up.
The hanging was conducted in a very
quiet manner.
The negro Thompson was very sullen
from the time he was taken off the train
until the rope was placed around his
neck. Neither of the men showed signs
of fear, Robinson saying all the time that
he was going to heaven.
Sheriff Looks Into Revolver.
When Mount Vernon was reached on
the trip from Birmingham, eight men
wearing white masks boarded the train.
Five of them covered Bherlff Powers
and Deputy Charles Green with revolvers
and told them that they had come for the
prisoners. The revolvers of the Sheriff
and Deputy Sheriff were then taken from
them. The conductor was asked to move
all the people in the flrst-clasg coach to
the rear seats, as more of the crowd
were going to get on at Plateau. The
conductor complied with the request and
some of the passengers were placed In
the sleeper.
" One of the leaders who stood on the
platform of the train, heavily masked,
said that the crowd which had Just
boarded the train were all business men
of Moblle. and that their action had
been decided upon only after careful con.
federation. He said that. If the ne
groes were taken Into Mobile by the
Sheriff and tried under military pro
tection, there would certainly be
bloodshed and their method was the
best.
Hanged on Big Oak Tree.
When the. train reached Creole, 15
miles from Mobile", a large number of
men wearing masks and one of them
carrying a bag which contained straps
and rcpes came on board and were
given their orders. At Prltchard's sta
tion the musked mob with the prison
ers closely guarded got ;off the train
and started down the road. About 10
yards from the tree on which the hang
ing took place the cry was given to
"hurry" and the mob . and prisoners
broke into a run. After they had run
25 yardsi big oak tree was reached
and the mob stopped and ropes were
produced. Fearing trouble- with the
neighborhood negroes, . scouts armed
witn rifles guarded the main road.
The negroes were then strung up.
Nearly everybody in the . crowd took
art of the rope.
While the negroes were being hanged
WHITES
RANT C
strict orders from the leader rang out:
"Boys, do not Are a shot. We are
carrying out the will of the people."

NEGRO'S HOUSE BLOWN UP
Barricade and Resist Arrest, but Es
cape Finally.
LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Oct. 6. As a re
sult of Ill-feeling following the recent
shooting of Robert Colum, a negro, who
conducted an undertaking establishment
in Argenta, a city across the Arkansas
River from Little Rock, John Llndsey, a
white man, father of a man who was sus
pected by the negroes of having been
implicated in the killing of Colum, was
shot and killed tonight, and his. son, Mil
ton Llndsey, was wounded. The shoot
ing, Milton Llndsey alleges, was done by
Garrett and Charles Colum, brothers of
Robert Colum.
The shooting took place In the under
taking establishment conducted by the
Colum brothers. Following the shooting
officers went to the scene, but were fired
upon by the negroes, who barricaded
themselves In the place. They then turned
out the lights In the place and afterward
made their escape through a door In the
rear of the building. A crowd of several
hundred armed men gathered and before
it was known that the negroes had
escaped shots were fired through the
building and as a final attempt the place
was dynamited. A posse searched the
home of the Colums, but they were not
found there and It is supposed they
escaped. The affair was not a race riot
but was caused through ill feeling of the
Colums 'toward the ' Ltndseys over the
killing of Colum.
The grocery and undertaking establish
ment belonging to the Colums in Argenta
is now burning. It Is supposed that the
fire is of incendiary origin and a call has
just been sent to Little Rock asking for
the fire department.
PROPOSES PASSPORT SYSTEM
Tillman's Preventive for Inevitable
Bloody Race War.
AUGUSTA Ga., Oct. 6. In a speech on
the race problem, delivered here tonight.
Senator B. B. Tillman declared the time
had come when the South must act, and
suggested the adoption of the European
passport system, by which each person
must have a certificate of good character
before moving from a residence or home
or before being received into a new sec
tion, and that any person without such
certificate be Imprisoned. This, he ad
mitted, would be placing great Inconve
nience on the whites, who would have to
be Included In the law because of the
loth amendment, but he declared that, If
this plan or some peaceable one Was not
adopted Immediately, the country surely
was rushing toward the brink of an abyss
which meant a horrible and bloody race
war of extermination.

UNITE BY MARRIAGE
British Princess Betrothed to
Czar's Brother.
SIGN OF NATIONAL AMITY
Grand Duke Michael Will Wed
Princess Patricia of Connanght,
Most Popular of British
Royal Family.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6. A mar
riage has been arranged between the
Grand Duke Michael,-only brother of Em
peror Nicholas, and Princess Patricia of
Connaught, niece of King Edward. The
betrothal occurred during the Grand
Duke's recent trltf to Copenhagen and
Scotland, from -which he has Just re
turned. From Copenhagen Grand Duke Michael
went directly to Join the imperial party
in -Finnish waters and received his broth-
er's formal approval of the engagement
members p? the imperial family. He will
leave Rusai in a. day or. two for London
wnere, aitr securing me consent oi vi"s
Edward, the betrothar will be formally
announced. -
Michael Eligible Bachelor.
The last visit of Grand Duke Michael to
London was during the Boer War, when
feeling ran high and he was received with
some hostility, but his approaching mar
riage with, the most popular of . the. Eng
lish Princesses will, it Is expected, inspire
a different welcome.
Though until the birth of the infant
heir to the Russian throne, tne Urand
Duke was one of the most eligible of tne
royal bachelors of Europe, he never fig
ured prominently In matrimonial gossip,
except that there was some talk several
years ago of his engagement .to his cous
in, the Grand Duchess Helene, daughter
of Grank Duke Vladimir, now the wife
of Prince Nicholas of Greece. The Prin
cess Patricia and Grand Duke Michael
have been acquainted since childhood,
and frequently met at the reunions of
the Danish royal family.
According to the Russian custom it will
be necessary for Princess Patricia to em
brace the orthodox Russian faith, but the
difference from the Anglican church is
so small as to present no Insuperable ob
jections. Though the Dowager Empress
of Russia and Queen Alexandra are sis
ters, a direct marriage- between the Eng
lish and Russian reigning houses Is al
most unprecedented. Of late years mem
bers of the Russian imperial family have
sought consorts principally In Germany.
Helps Anglo-Russian Amity.
The new departure is significant of the
altered relations which have been spring
ing up since the Russo-Japanese War,
though a formal understanding between
Great Britain- and Russia still rests on
future negotiations. These have not even
reached the stage of an agreement being
enacted, but the pourparlers are mak
ing excellent progress in the tactful hands
of the British Ambassador, Sir Arthur
Nicolson, and the Russian Foreign Min
ister, M. Isvolsky, who hold almost daily
conference at the Foreign Office.
It Is reported that a marriage Is being
arranged between the Grand Duchess
Elizabeth, widow of the Grand Duke Ser
glus, and Grand Duke Nicholas. Nlcholae
vitch, commander of the troops In St
Petersburg. The Grand Duchess Eliza
beth is a sister of the Empress, and
though in the 40s, has a very attractive
personality.
Grand Duke Michael' Alexandrovltch,
brother of the Russian Emperor, was born
November 22, 1878, and from the date of
the accesion of Nicholas until the birth
of the latter's son, was the heir pre
sumptive to the Russian throne.
POPULAR BRITISH PRINCESS
Patricia Vivacious Woman, Lover of
-
Sport and Strong-Minded.
LONDON, Oct. 6. Princess Patricia of
Connaue-ht. whose engagement to Grand
Duke Michael Is announced from St.
Petersburg, is one of the most popular
and probably the best looking of the
younger generation of the British prin
cesses. She Is in her 21st year. The news
of her engagement has not yet been given
out in London, but the friendly feeling
here towards Russia has made such great
strides of recent months that there Is
every prospect that the proposed alliance
will prove very popular.
The princess Is of a bright, happy dis
position. During the past two years she
has been mixing in society and has made
herself a great favorite. She is an en
thusiastic sportswoman, is especially fond
of boating and fishing and has killed many
salmon both In Ireland and Scotland.
Princess Patricia has opinions of her
own and strength of character enough to
stick to them, as demonstrated some time
ago when her marriage to King Alfonso
was mooted. Despite persuasion she res
olutely declined to entertain the sug
gestion, declaring she would never marry
any one she did not love, even to become
a qneen.
The princess has traveled a great deal,
having accompanied her father to India
and South Africa. In Ireland, after whose
patron saint-she is named, . the princess
did much to popularize the royal family
by her social and charitable activities.
POPE TRUSTS IN LOYALTY.
Despite Fears' of Queen, He' Says,
Crown Is Safe.
' ROME, Oct. 6. (Special.) The attempt
through Spain to gag the bishops and
to punish those who uphold religion is
already reacting on the anti-clericals.
So strong is the sentiment in favor of
the Vatican that the' early fall of the
Cabinet . is predicted. The Pope is
calmly waiting developments, refusing
to interfere, and counting on the attach
ment of the crown, clergy and common
people. To a recent letter- from the Queen
mother expressing fear of the Carlists,
His Holiness replied that the friendship
of the church safeguards the Spanish
throne.
SCOTS OPPOSE SOCIALISTS.
Movement Among Northern Liberals

LONDON, Oct. 6.--(Special.) Social
ism suffered one of the most serious
ROYAL MARRIAGE
Wtftr IM all
defeats in Britain-this Week -ttfat it has
ever sustained.. The determination of
the Scottish liberal members. of Parlia-s
jnent .to oppose all parliamentary can
didates who" refuse to dissociate them;
selves from the Socialists also sounds
tho death knell of the party divisions
that have been so long funoui a
catchwords in English politics.
Before many years it looks as though
liberal and conservative ' will become
terms merely of historic Interest, and
governments will come and go untiel
new names. Ift the 'convulsion that
the week has witnessed there has been
stirred a tremendous feeling against
what the classes term the heretical
theories of the Socialist mass. What
may be termed the doctrine of Hearst
Is held up by the papers as a warning
of the dangers threatening England
with the result that socialism is now
ostracized by both leading parties.

Kamchatka.
VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 6. A shocking
sealing raiding . tragedy is reported by
Japanese newspapers received by the
Bteamer Athenian today, clearing up the
mystery of the sealing steamer Shlnome
Maru, which left Hakota in 'June and
was never heard of until September 13.
when the schooner Klyetsu nani arrived
at Otaru and reported that at a place
called Zobaroff on the east coast of Kam
chatka the charred remains of a vessel
were observed ashore and a boat's crew
was sent to investigate. They found
charred remains of the lost sealing ves
sel and skeletons of her crew, presumably
all murdered.
Evidence of Crime Found.
On the shore was part of the vessel's
mast with the remains of her flag, a
notebook, some cards and clothes of seal
ers, as well as other evidences of . a
tragedy. Nearby were seen skeletons and
bodies, obviously dragged from shallow
graves by wild beasts. The Klyetsu

Japanese Kill Russian Officer.
Some papers state the report has prob
ably been confounded with the reported
affray at Tsborostka, Kamchatka. In
which the Futama Maru's crew had a dis
pute with Russian officials about the per
mission to poach after a bribe of $4750
was paid to the Russians, and Suzki,
an Interpreter, drew a sword and cut
down the Russian officer. Four other
schooners were involved In the affair, and
when the Interpreter drew his sword the
Japanese fell upon the Russians, 17 of
whom were killed. Including one officer.

Before their return they find themselves

Sometimes people go to sleep without
