A Negri) ami Mis Wife Whipped bv a Mob
°i •''•asked .Men Xrar .tloulguniory,
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 12. A case
of whitecapping was practiced on Jim
Beavers, a negro, and his wife, who
live about 12 miles from the city,
in Montgomery county. Beavers had
been working for a white farmer named
W. T. Smith. Smith took occasion to
reprimand the negro for careless work,
and the negro talked back to him. This
angered Smith, who made at the negro
with a pitchfork, inflicting two very se
vere wound®, one in the arm aud the
other in the side, just over the heart.
Beavers tried to defend himself with
his lists. The men were separal -d, and
the negro went to a physician and had
his wounds dressed. Later in the day
some negroes came to. Beavers aud in
formed him that a band of white men was
being organized to call on him and mob
him. He consulted with his physician
as to what was best to be doue, and was
told that he had best remain away from
his house for a few nights. He aeted
accordingly, and moved to an adjoin
ing plantation.
Shortly after midnight about 15 white
men, wearing masks, went to the ne
gro’s house. Ho heard them coining
and sprang through a~ window and fled.
As he appeared on the outside the mob
opened lire on him, hut he contrived to
get away without injury.
The men theu entered Beaver’s house,
seized his wife and carried her several
miies away into the woods, aud strip
ping her. laid her across a log and
whipped her unmercifully with buggy
whips, every iuch of her body being
bruised or stripped of the skin. She
was then told to lie where she was until
daylight, as she would be killed if she
attempted to follow her persecutors.
The inference is that the whitecap-
pers were friends of Smith, although
Smith has uot been charged with being
in the crowd. The matter will be in
vestigated by the authorities.

MAY USE WIRE TIES.
Farmers of the South Trying to Foil the
Flans of tile Trust—An Experiment.
Charleston, Aug. 12.—The first bale
of cotton bound with wire instead of
the usual ties was compressed in this
city at the Champion compress, in the
presence of Manager M. P. D mean of
the State Farmers’ Alliance Exchange,
a special committee from the Cotton
Exchange aud a large number of local
cotton men.
The wire with which the bale was
hound stood the strain well. There
was some cutting of the bagging, but it
was claimed that this was due to the
inferiority of the material used and not
the wire.
Manager Duncan expressed great sat
isfaction with the experiment, but the
compress aud local cotton men did not
generally agree with him. The special
committee from the Cotton Exchange
has not yet reported.
The compress men said that the wire
was very hard to handle, aud that if it
were generally used that much more
time would be consumed iu compressing
than is required for bales bound with
ties.
The use of wire is being advocated by
farmers in many parts of the south be
cause the price of ties has been so ma
terially increased recently. It seems
probable that upon the recommenda-
t on of Manager M. P. Duncan many
South Carolina farmers will use wire
this season.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 12.—Hora
tio Rubens, attorney general of the Ou-
bau junta, is still iu the city and there
is no doubt that his presence and the
rumors of a Cuban expedition soon to
leave Florida waters cause the Spanish
officials stationed iu Florida much un
easiness, for already two Spanish spies,
or detectives, are here keeping a watch
on the movements of prominent Cu
bans.
From good authority it is learned that
arms and munitions of war have been
coming into the state for some time and
being stored at a point south of Jackson
ville. The general opinion is that these
supplies are to be carried to sea on a
tugboat aud put on board the steamer
Laurada, which is now on her way south
with a Oubau expedition. The point
from which the arms arc to be shipped
is within a hundred miles of Jackson
ville and the presence of the revenue
cutter Bout-well would seem to indicate
that the officials believe the expedition
will leave from this point.
The United States court officials and
the customs officials say that they know
nothing of auy expedition to leave
Florida waters, but they are all on the
alert. The following telegram has been
received from Washington:
The steamers Commodore. Three Friends
and Laurada are under surveilance by the

One of the United States Consular Oiiicials
In Germany Exposes a Fraud.
Washington, Aug. 12 —One of the
U nited States consular officials stationed
in Germany has sought to attract the
attention of American manufacturers to
the danger of accepting resident Ger
mans as agents for the sale of their
wares without taking precautions to
learn something of the character of the
person selected. He cites the case of a
firm of Oswego pumpmakers, who gave
the agency for the sale of their goods iu
Germany to what they supposed to bo
reputable firm, and filled with satisfac
tion and expectation, an order for six of
their finest pumps to start the trade.
The German agent turned out to be
engaged in the same line of pumpmak-
iug, and he had taken the American
pumps apart, aud using them as pat
terns, was making duplicates in num
bers for the German market. There was
no way to reach and punish this chirr -
acter of fraud, so the consul seeks to
warn American merchants against like
deceptions.
It Is Now Fossible to Communicate With
Ship Without Direct Line From Land.
Washington, Aug. 12.—A descrip
tion of a uew electric telegraph has been
forwarded to the department of state bv
Mr. Robert Kirk, consul at Copenhagen.
The apparatus, which is described in a
D^iisli newspaper, was constructed by
a Young boatswain iu the Danish navy
and makes it possible to communicate
with a ship at a certain anchor ground
without any direct line from land.
An electric battery is placed on the
shore with one polo in contact with wa
ter or moist earth, while the current
from the other pole, through a telegraph
key and a revolution interrupter, is con
ducted from a cable, which is laid out
to the anchor ground and placed around
the latter in a coil with a diameter of
1,000 to 1,200 feet.
On board the ship, which is situated,
at anchor ground, or a short distance
outside the cell, there is a small solenoid,
with which a telephone is connected..
Victoria, B. C., Aug. 12.—From far
Formosa, where, for upwards of a year,
Japanese troops have been vainly striv
ing to crush out the seeds of post-bellum
opposition to Japan’s innovations, comes
a story which, for barbarous cruelty and
a violent violation of all ethics of civili
zation, has, fortunately, few equals even
among the savages of the world. A ter
rible tale of rapine, murder aud wanton
cruelty reached hero by the steamer
Empress of Japan and fully bears out
the statement on the situation iu For
mosa given publicly by the Rev. Dr.
Mackay ou his return to that island six
months ago.
Other equally creditable correspon
dents are now the witnesses against
Japan and the burden of their arraign
ment is that, seeing neither fame nor
profit to be gained in the subjugation of
the Formosans by the arts of modern
warfare, recognized as legitimate by
civilized nations, the Japanese troops
sent to the island have embarked ou a
crusade of blood, their object being to
crush out all sigus of discontent by, as
far as possible, ixterminatiug the native
people. In this campaign there were no
foreign powers to make jirotests, no for
eign press representatives to herald to
the world the atrocities, the felling of
which would bring upon Japan the con
tempt of all enlightened people.
Says the Taiuanfu representative of
the China Mail:
“As a result, the policy of extermina
tion lias been zealously pursued from
the beginning of the campain, aud that
with the destruction of their crops, tlie
burning of their villages, the desecra
tion of the graves of their loved ones,
the violation of their wives and daugh
ters and the butchery of their innocent
children, the people are driven to the
last expedients of desperation.”

New York, Aug. 12.—There were in
dications Wednesday morning that the
torrid spell under which this section has
suffered with only one slight intermis
sion for two weeks, is drawing to a
close. The heat, however, was-excessive
all the night aud increased with the ris
ing of the sun, and at 8 a. in. the ther
mometers down town marked 83 degrees
in the shade, the official record, how
ever, being three degrees less. A brisk
breeze tempered the fervid rays of the
sun, even with the humidity at 70 per
cent. At 7:30 a. in. the observer’s ther
mometer showed a temperature of 85
degrees. The pavements, however, had
a vast deal of caloric stored in them,
which does not make itself manifest in
official reports based on observations 100
feet above the street level. Between 0
and 7 o’clock the police had been notified
of six deaths as the result of heat. Their
names follow:
William Dempsey, aged 35.
Auu Fleed, aged 59.
Aim Keauueally, aged 27.
Henry Deastel, aged CO.
Mary Ami Deviue, aged -15.
Edward Albert, aged 32.
At 9 a. m. the police records showed
that 16 persons had beeii treated for
sunstroke since 2 o’clock in the morning.
Six deaths from heat aud many cases
of prostration were reported in Brook

California Banks Will Not Accept the
White Metal In Any Large Amount.
Sax Francisco, Aug. 12.—The agita
tion of the financ al question has re
sulted in sending gold up a fraction of
1 per cent above par iu New York,
causing local banks much trouble with
people who wish to deposit silver aud
check out gold. Some of these banks
refuse to take any considerable amount
of silver on deposit.
During the past two months the sup
ply of gold coin in the subtreasury has
decreased from about $15,000,000 to less
than $9,000,000. The dec ease includes a
shipment of $3,000,000 in gold made last
month by Assistant United States Treas
urer Berry to the subtreasury in New j
York city.
The enormous shrinkage was one of ;
the prime causes which led to the issn- |
auce by Assistant Treasurer Berry of j
the new famous order which stopped the j
redemption of silver certificates in gold j
coin, a practice which ivas followed by !
his predecessor for many years.

Waynesboro, Ga., Aug. 10.—Robbers
entered the store of C. W. Tyre, who
keeps the express office. The Southern
Express company’s safe was blown open
and about §15 was secured, as well as a

Hatfour Says the Irish Land Measure
Would lie a Calamity to Landlords.
London, Aug. 12.—The Irish land bill
as recommended in the house of lords,
where it passed its third readiug, was
before the house of commons again
Wednesday. The chief secretary for
Ireland, Mr. Gerald Balfour, indicated
the proposed course of the government.
He said he preferred the new turbary
clause to Lord Iuchiquin’suew subscrip
tion clause 1 and to the amendmeut
dealing with procedure sales. The
amendments, he added, would be ac
cepted in principle, but on the question of
pasture holdings the government would
adhere to the 100-pound limit and could
not except Lord McNeighton’s amend
meut omitting the amended clause.
Mr. Balfour said the lords had ma
terially altered the bill to the detriment
of the tenants, but he hoped the lords
would accept the measure in the shape
the commons would return it to them.
He said it would be a calamity to Ire
land, including the landlords themselves.
Were they going to seize the opportu
nity to reinforce the kindlier feeling,
or were they going to justify those who
were only too ready to inculcate the
most pernicious lesson that, for Ireland
tranquil, nothing would be done, but for
Ireland, clamorous aud crimeriddeu, uo
coucession that would be demanded
would be refused? That %yas the issue
now to be decided and he most sincerely
prayed that parliament might be wisely
guided in reaching a decision. [Cheers].

Savannah, Aug. 10.—A determined
fight is being made to secure a lower
passenger rate to Charleston, the pres
ent charge being 4 cents per mile for
115 miles by the Charleston aud Savan

Carolina rate 3% cents per mile, and it

of the freight bureau that the rate
should be, therefore, §3.69 instead of
§4.60 as at present. Captain Purse has
just received a reply from the Georgia
railroad commission stating they have
no jurisdiction, as it is interstate busi
ness. He will endeavor to get the mat
ter before the interstate commerce com

A Chance to Make Moni-y.
I have berries, grapes and peaches
a year old, fresh as when picked.
I use the California Cold process
do not heat or seal the fruit, just
put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh,
and costs almost nothing; can put
up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 120
families; anyone will pay a dollar
for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples ot fruit. As there
are many people poor like myself,
l consider it my duty to give noy
experience to such, and feel conn
dent anyone can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sample of
fruit and complete directions, to
any of your readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of the samples, postage,
etc., to me. Francis Casey,

Spoons Free to All.
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Frilz, Station A,
St Loui3, Mo., would give an ele
gant plated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2 cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful
that I showed it to my friends, and
made §13 in two hours, taking or
ders for the spoon. The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot
slip into the dish or cooking vessel,
being held in place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first invented.
Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Misa
Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money around home.

Thought of It Herself,
A friend of the Sauuterer has a de-
tidedly original little daughter. One
fiay the teacher discovered her in hand
to hand combat with a child of her own
age.
“Don’t you know yon are doing very
wrong?” said the teacher rebukingly,
“and that such ovil actions are caused
by the promptings of the devil?”
“Well,” was her answer, “maybe the
devil did tell me to pull her hair, but I
thought of spitting in her face all ray-
self. ”—Boston Budget.
What He Wanted.
In the midst of a stormy discussion a
gentleman rose to settle the matter in
dispute. Waving his hand majestically
he began, “Gentlemen, all I want is
common sense. ”
“Exactly,” interrupted another.
“That is precisely what you do want.”
