GAINESVILLE, Ga.. June 2S.-Th-
jeople of Gainesville met In a apeci
thanksgiving service at 4 o'clock th'a
afternoon to founally close up the ro
ll if work and to render praise to the
Almighty for His mercies, and to ever-
rybody who had In any way, contlbuted
. to the relief of the storm stricken city.
** Mayor Parker read a report covering
in detail the relief work, and the local
ministers made talks expressing the
people's thunks and th<Tr gratefulness
to God. The hospitnls were closed this
afternoon and all patients were re
moved to private homes for treatment.
Following was the mayor's report:
"To the Cltlsens of Gainesville and a
Generous Public: The committee, of
■which I have the honor to be the chair
man, deeming It meet and proper that
a public statement should be made at
this time of the progress mhed slnca
the destructive tornado which passed
through our midst on the first day of
June, has instructed me to submit a
statement of our affairs up to this time.
“The number of dead caused by the
tornado, Including those who have since
died, has reached 107. Three hundred
and sixty-eight were more or less Al
lured by the storm, slxty-slx of whom
were so badly Injured as to render it
necessary to take them to the hospi
tals. Of this number, forty-five have
sufficiently recovered to return to their
homes, and six more are now able to
go home; and through the advice of
physicians it la thought that the other
five can be safely carried to their homes
and there treated till they ultimately
recover.
“It Is not now thought that there will
t be any more deaths. Through the great
kindness of a generous public we have
been able to properly feed and care for
every person Rho suffered by the storm*
and also have,, supplied them with as
much clothing as they lost.
“Something over 200 homes Tiave been
replenished out of the abundance con
tributed to our a!d, consisting of beds,
bedding, stoves, tables, chairs, Crock
ery and other necessary, articles, thus
tendering the people comfortable.
“It has been Impossible to obtain the
.lames of all the physicians and nurses
■who hn\*e visit*! us "bf we would be
glad to mention each one and specify

»vcr 100 physicians have come here,
in addition to our local physicians, and
volunteered their services In minister

trained ■ nurses have also volunteered
their services and have worked early
and late for suffering humanity. In
edition to this, a Urge number of our
town ladle* hav* gtven their constant
attention to the wants of the Injured.
Our own doctors have labored early and
late and won for themselves praise and
gratitude of our entire people.

Juno 2S.—Twenty-four miners were
killed and about fifty others Injured
In an explosion of gsa that occurred
Thursday night In Las Esperanzae
coal mines, the property of the Mexi
can Coal and Coke Company. The dis
aster was caused by the Ignition of
the gas by the flames from a defective
lamp. The men were on the point .if
quitting work-for the day. Probably
one hundred men were in the mine At
the time of the explosion.
After the shock of the explosion those
who were able to move rushed for the
exits but the falling e&rth and debris
carried many down to death. Full)*
fifty miners escaped with broken limbs
and scorched flesh.
As soon as it was known that the
flames had subsided miners went below
to ascertain the extent of the damage.
At last reports the dead bodies of
twenty-four men had been brought to
light. A call of the roll has determined
that they were the only ones who per
ished, though other* may die a* a

crimes that would seem Impossible this
side of hell than 'to remain apathetic,"
was the declaration of Rev. Dr. W. A.
Bartlett at the First Congregational
church today In a prelude on “Lynch

Dr. Bartlett laid, among other things:
"I have seen so many sermons, edi

all that It held aacred by womsnhoqd,
are the race offenders, rather than the
monster whom they destroy.
“We eeem to be so absorbed with the
majesty of this vague term ’law’ that
the notion appears to prevail that the
real criminals are those who do not

of womnnhood is the abused party.
“We shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned, but apparently
forget to shudder for the Innocent girl,
whose mental and spiritual agony Is
tenfold grenter than that of the Are.
This Is not a race problem, except so
far as one race are the offenders. The
white man who commits . the same
crime Is Just as guilty.

the spirit which causes the uprising is
the reflection of a higher civilization.

PITTSBURG, Pa. June 29.—The
threatened strike of the machinists In

original proposition to make entirely

A committee will wait on the menu-

WILMINGTON, Del., June 28.—Thou-
anrls of persons visited today the sceno
where Georgo F. White, the negro who
burned to death last Monday night
by a mob for the murder of Mlsa Helen
Bishop, They came from all the small
towns in this vicinity and hundreds
Journeyed to the execution place from
Chester, Pn., and Philadelphia. A trol
ley line runs to about three-quarters
of a mile from the scene, and 'bu»
drivers and others owning vehicles did
a thriving business carrying passen
gers to the place and explaining to
them the events of the last two weeks. 1
The burning took place In a freshly
ploughed field about fifty feet from
the roadway, which is hidden by high
bushes. The field has been trampled
almost as smooth and hard us asphalt
by the thoyr^ btHof persons that have
visited tly* farm. .. .h only evidence
that r*»‘fhalns of the jrk are three
cobble stones, on one of which this
Inscription has been pin cod In indelible
Ink: "Here Is all that remains of
White."
The bushes behind which the murder
occurred have been cut down for a dis
tance of several yards and carried
away by relic hunters. Many of those
who visited the scene today, among
them a large number of women, car
ried away a sprig or branch of tho
bushes.
Discussion of the evertts of the last
week is rapidly ending/ although tho
affair was the text of some of the cler
gymen today, The preachers without'’
exception condemned the lynching,
notwithstanding the fact that publics
sentiment Is overwhelmingly on the side
of the lynchers. Tho Rev. R A. ICl-
wood, tho Presbyterian minister, who
has come In for much criticism for his
sermon of Inst Sunday night, in which
he suggested lynching In case the ne
gro escaped speedy punishment at the
hands of the law, did not refer to tho
lynching or the criticisms today. These
criticisms were answered by his con
gregation today when the following
resolutions were react during the ser
vices:
"We. the officer* and member* of the
Olivet Presbyterian church, Wilming
ton. Del., realizing the unjust criticism
being made upon our beloved pastor,
the Rev. Robert A. Elwood, by a largo
proportion of the public press, do place
ourselves on record In tho following
resolution*:
"1. We express our Arm belief in our
pastor’s honesty, integrity and Christ
ian character, oijr appreciation of hla
ministerial labors in our congregation
and our admiration of hie manly
Christian murage as expressed by hla
pulpit messages and hla life In our
midst. \
••1. We record our hollef that hia nJg«*
sage of last Hunday evening was both-
timely and true, sensible and scriptural,
ami In no wise can the actions of the
citizens on Monday night he chargeablo
to that sermon."

lice department, however, has not re
laxed Its vigilance, nnd Is prepared to
meet almost any emergency. It la not
believed that any further move will be
started by either the white* or the
blacks.

that th«* Rev. Thornton would have
something to say of the events of the
