an early hour this morning an assemblage
of citizens severely punished John Ward,
a telegraph lineman, and W. D. Thomas,

passenger train.
Ward was given a coat of tar and
feathers, tied to a tree and unmercifully
whipped. Thomas vvas given a coat of
tar and tied to a tree and whipped.
A crisis was reached in a scandal that
had been brewing for several days at
Wynne. It Is alleged that Ward intend
ed to elope with the wife of a prominent
Wynne business man, and Thomas was
whipped for alleged assistance given to
the former. Both men Jumped oft the
moving train at the coal chute and
were arrested by the city marshal. They
were then carried to the outskirts of the
town, where the punishment was en
acted.
When W. D. Thomas, a traveling sales
man for the Van Vleet-Mansiield Drug
Company, o£ this city, appeared in the
office of Frank Smith, assistant I mted
States district attorney, today, he was in
a pitiful plight. His clothes were torn
besmeared with tar and an expression of
woe lurked In 'ills dark eyes. There were
marks of violence on his body, apparently
inflicted with ropes, sticks and whips.
With burning and indignation he told a
story that hinted of outrage and scandal
and solicited the aid of the government
to punish the men who have outraged his
flesh and feelings.

FIGHTING RAILWAY TRUST.
Minnesota Gets Northern Securities
Company Into Court.
St. Paul, June 6. Arguments were be
gun today, before Un|£ed States Judge
Lochren in the case of the state of Min
nesota v. The Northern Securities Com
pany and the roads ijvhose control is
merged In the New Jersey corporation.
The, arguments are based upon practically
the same testimony In most respects as
that in the ease against the merger by
the federal government- The state's
case, however, is on entirely different
grounds. The federal case alleged a vio
lation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The
state’s case Is brought under a provision
of the Minnesota constitution, which spe i
cifica.lly prohibits the connection of a
parallel and competing lines of rail-
The case rests on statutes prohibiting
the connection "in any manner of com
peting and parallel lines of railroad,"
and also prohibiting thgjlormation of any
commission which ip in restraint of trade
or commerce between this and any other j
state, in the opening by Attorney Gen
eral Douglass the action was described I
as a suilAn equity to restrain the North
ern Securities Company from holding
stock In each of these roads.
The complaint charged that the state
owned acres of land and various
Institutions located an the right of way
of two railways, and, therefore, the state
had a special Interest in preserving com
petition between the two carriers.
BRIDE IS ONLY THIRTEEN,
, Eloped with Farm Hand Who Has
Been Arrested.
Moultrie. Ga., June s.—(Special.)—Quite
a sensation has been created in the Monk
district of this county by the elopement
of a young couple this week. The bride
is Miss Mary Ammons, 13 years old,
and a member of one of the most prom
inent families of the county.
She ran away from school to marry
L. N. Langdale, an employee on her
stepfather’s farm. They escaped into
Worth county, where they married, but
were soon followed by the officers of this
county, who carried a warrant charging
I the young benedict with kidnaping.
The couple were brought to Moultrie
yesterday, and with them came a large,
number of indignant relatives of the
bride.
She was by no means coerced by the
presence of relatives, including her
mother, but remained loyal to her young
husband, declaring that she would live
with him or die.
I Young Langdale gave bond, and the
girl was taken back home by the mother.

“Both Are Impossible,” Says Repre
sentative Hay, “and Will Not
Be Considered” —Conserva-
tive Man Will Be
Nominated.
Washington, June 3—(Special.)—Good
team work. In the opinion of Represen
tative James Hay, of Virginia, will be
the most notable Improvement In dem
ocratic congressional ranks next winter.
Mr. Hay, who is chairman of the house
democratic caucus, was in Washington
today looking after the interests of his
constituents. Talking on the democratic
outlook, he said:
"As to the presidential possibilities. 1
think It Is too early to venture a pre
diction as to whom the democrats will
nominate for their standard bearer But
of this I am certain, neither Mr. Cleve
land nor Mr. Bryan will be selected for
that mission. Both are Impossible and
need not be considered. Just now. fiom
the way things look east and south, 1
should say Senator Gorman or Judge.
Parker seem to be the favorites. One
day Gorman’s stock is up and the next
day is Parker day. But the sentiment
in favor of both these may be but
a passing one, though the fact that they
are undoubtedly in the probable column
gives us a pretty good idea of the kind
o.' man we are going to nominate. If
it is not Parker and not Gorman, it will
be one of that conservative school. It
dues not matter so much who the man
is, provided he be a good sound democrat
of the Parker-Gorman school of conser
vatism, a man whose mention for the
presidency causes neither capital nor la
bor to shy.
"As for Mr. Bryan, I do not think
he will be in it at the next convention.
Mr. Bryan will find that he can't have
a- much to do w ith the workings of ii> ■
next convention as heretofore; in fact,
many think he will have nothing to do
with B. He will have no support in the
convention so far as the southern dele
gates are concerned. They won t stand
Bryan’s running the convention.
"Good team work will be the object
of the party both in the house and sen
ate. Our policy will be to fight all of
the rotten legislation proposed by the
republicans and to fight altogether and
hard. We will fight along the line of
time-honored principles, and 1 think with
John Sharp Williams as the minority
leader in the house and Senator Gorman
at the head of our forces in the senate,
the democrats will have a party com
manding the respect and confidence of
the country. Os course we are prevent
ed from originating legislation, but we
(■an frequently block bad legislation.
There will bb no rainbow chasing on our
side of the house and I believe that the
closing of congress will mark an era of
brighter things for the party.
"Os the Interesting Montague-Martin
fight, which has now developed into well
nigh a. political feud, Mr. Hay said ho
thought Senator Martin was unquestion
ably on top at this time. "From what
1 can hear,” Mr, Hay said, “the sen
timent in all parts of the Old Dominion
seems to be in his favor. This is not a
reflection on Governor Montague neces
sarily, and no one can lay a serious
charge to him that would hurt him In
the estimate of the people. At the same
time I believe the voters feel they have
in Senator Martin a man of power and
influence in tlie senate, who is a valuable
man to his state and to his country.
They think ft would be bad policy to
remove him.”
“Membership In the National League of
Democratic Clubs is rapidly on the in
crease," said Max F. Dunsen, secretary
of tlie organization, today, “and we are
all getting ready for the next campaign.
There are 9,000 clubs In the league and
these w ill be largely Increased as the elec
tion approaches. Those who join the
clubs are men who are not In politics
regularly, but desire patriotically to taka
a part in the campaign. It gives them
an opportunity of expression which would 1
otherwise be denied them.”
As to the likely candidate the secre
tary is inclined to think that the man ■
will come with the hour, though he Is j
confident that the head o? the tldket ;
must come from New York.
The Bible Suits All.
The Premium Bible came three or four j
weeks ago, but do not think it is lack of 1
appreciation that 1 have not expressed
my thanks sooner, for I assure you that
it came in good time, as I was wishing
Tor a new one, and one of that size. It i
is the nicest I have ever seen.

MITCHELL DENIES REPORT.
Recognition of Mine Workers Was
Not Asked For.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 4.—With regard
to the probability of a resumption of the
strike in the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, this morning was unwill
ing to make anv statement.
“I do not. wish to anticipate,” he said.
Concerning file chief point to the contro
versy that now seems likely to provoke
a renewal of hostilities, that of whether
or not the men selected by the miners'
organizations should be members of the
board of conciliation authorized by the
board of arbitration, he said:
"’J he statement that the question of
recognizing the United Mine Workers was
never submitted to the strike commission
Is entirely untiue. That was one of the
important awards in our favor, tlie word
ing of it being that ‘tlie miners’ organi
zations,' which, of course, is the United
Mine Workers, should have three repre
sentatives on tiie board of conciliation,
one for each district. Naturally 1 ap
peared for the anthracite coal workers be
fore the strike, commission, but it was as
president of the mine workers that I
was given the right to do so. Tlie argu
ment of Distiiet President Fahey, in
which he says that it would be as logical
for us to demand that each stockholder of
the coal companies be consulted with re
gard to the selection of the operators,
members of the board of conciiatlon as
that all the miners in the region vote on
the men to represent them, is very sen
sible. However, the award of tlie strike
commission specifically provides for that.
“It is true (hat conditions in the Wyo
ming valley are very bad. Our reports
are to the effect that the men are com
pelled to work on Sundays and that In few
particulars have the operators lived up
to the decisions of the. strike commission.
No. I do not wish to anticipate the pos
sibilities of another strike.”

Senators Hanna and Foraker would lock
horns over the Indorsement of Roose
velt's candidacy, tut instead they hau
locked arms ami were now leading the
Ohio republicans in this campaign more
harmoniously than ever.
There never was more talk about fixing
a slate in ad.ame of the convention than
this .'" i'. but the balloting indicated that
such was not the case, for. at least, some
of Hie minor places. It is stated that
neither Hanna nor Herrick wanted to go
into tlie campaign under jmc!i a charge,
and that they did not want to lie held
responsible for “third-term rule," amt
all who were on the proposed slate. A'.
I any rate, they did not exercise their pel -
‘ sonal infill' nee “in giving the word." and

The good wifi of the peacemakers was

in the speech of Foraker In compliment-
■ ing Hanna. After the report of the com
mittee on permanent organization Sena-
' tor Hanna Introduced Senator Foraker :
as the, permanent chairman. The latter
received: a great ovatlin.
' Senator Foraker said:
“This was Hanna’s year. Yesterday
was Hanna’s day, when iie improved
it to the inmost extent in his great
k' ynote speech—the best lie ever heard.”
j Then ho said:
“Next j> ar is Roosevelt’s year,” and
eulogized the president amid continued
i cheering. He congratulated the republi
cans on being united on their leaders for
I i tiis year and next year and most of ali
i on their principles.
There were several wild scenes of dem
i onsi.rat.ion while Senator Foraker was
.‘■peaking. Senator Foraker caused much
; a.nuisement in his comparisons with the
; democrats, who did not know whom they
■ wanted for president, governor or other
i places.
The Platform.
1 General Charles Dick, chairman of the I
i committee on resolutions, presented tiie i
| committee’s report as follows:
: “The republicans of Ohio rejoice in the I
i results of the republican administration in I
’ tlie state and nation, it has promoted the
welfare of the entire country. Bast
achievements insure tlie faithful j'asform
unc of new duties.
“Ohio enters upon her second century
of statehood will) a record
Republican control has aided irnmeasura
bly in placing our state in the very fore;
front of tile union of states comprising '
I till: world's greatest nation. We com- I
: mend President Roosevelts fidelity io
duty, his adherence to President McKin
ley's policies and his own proved ability
in his high office., shotting him in every
way worthy of election by tlie people to
lie their choice of chief magistrate. We
favor his nomination for president in 1904.
“Tlie republican delegation in congress
has honored the state in both houses.
Senator Joseph B. Foraker and Senator
Marcus A. Hanna have, splendidly main
tained Ohio's leadership. The reelection
of Senator Hanna is a distinct national
demand upon our .state, and we hereby
cordially promise him the undivided sup
port of the entire republican party of
Ohio.
“Governor George K. Nash, with his
able assistants in the : l.i t<- offices, for
their faithful and successful administra
tion deserves the generous coiumendation
ami gratitude of tiie people.
“In Ohio, as in tlie nation, republican
achievements compel popular approval.
Our state debt is canceljell, the cash sur
plus in our treasury is at record fig
ures. the slate institutions were never
more efficiently or economically conduct- I
ed, and yet the state tax rate has been
reduced by half through republican laws,
whereby corporate interests are requin d
io bear a mote equitable share of tlie
burden of taxation, so far as possible.
"Ohio ought not to discriminate longer
against her own corporations, thus cut
ting off possible revenue and other bene
fits, ami we, therefore, favor and indorse
the amendment to remove the present
provision in our statutes for double Ila ’
bility of stockholders.
Question, of Transportation.
"The question of transportation is one
of the most Important business problems ,
now before the American people for de
termination. The full utilization of our
Inland waterways is demanded by ail
business interests. We, therefore, favor
tlie continued improvement by the gen
era.l government of tlie Ohio river, that
a navigable stage of waterway may be ,
maintained the year round.
“Better roads would save Ohio's citizens ,
millions of dollars yearly, and should be
sj stematically established.. They are ts- 1
pecially needed on account of the rural
free mail delivery and we favor the ex
tension of the system rapidly as possi- '
ble.
“Every citizen interested in better rivers :
and harbors, public highways, improved
postal service, forest reservation, flood
prevention, tiie great isthmian canal and
other enterprises of like character, lias
the rightful home only in the republican
party, where progress has never been
opposed.

“The imx»ro\ement tn our relations
with the Philippines is attested by the
reduction of uur army to the lowest

“In this connection we voice the grate

Hie splendid services in the Philippines

“The protective tariff policy of the
republican party has made the United

of the farmer and has advanced Amer

ever attained. We oppose all attacks on
the policy, whatever the pretext, as tend
ing to bring back the disastrous days
of democratic tariff revision and free
trade.
“Combinations for monopoly of trade
and kindred unlawful purposes are di
rectly amenable to penalties provided by’
republican legislation and their vigorous
enfoieement in the courts. N;> worthy
interest is imperiled, mil whatever will
work public harm is restrained and that
without ii sort to the democratic plan of
driving all Americans through tariff re
vision or otherwise. If further legisla
tion should l>e found necessary the re
publican party <■. n lie depended upon to
enact and enforce It with equity and
safetv in every legitimate interest.
“Tiie repulilicuii party restored lhe na

Fierce Storm Strack Rome During
Funeral Services.
Rome, Ga., June I.—(Special.)—During
the progress of the funeral services over
the late F. M. Carevile this afternoon a
rather startling accident occurred, an!
’ for a time considerable excitement pre
vailed.
Shortly after the services commenced, a
terrific thunder storm arose, and as a
result of a fearful gust of wind a large
stained glass window was blown inwardly
from its fastenings and shattered into .
thousand fragments over Hie head of Fire
Chief H. H. Harrington, who was sitting
directly beneath it.
To add extra impressiveness to the sc
cident, it all happened while the heads of
the congregation were bowed in prayer.
The lightning was blinding and tlie crash
of the thunder was terrific at the time.
For a while great excitement prevailed,
but it was quieted just as soon as those
present fully realized the situation.
Mr. Harrington is severely wounded,
being cut in several different places; but.
while his wounds are painful, they are
not serious. The window was a large one
and the noise of the crash was fearful.
The storm was very intense, and several
valuable shade trees were blown down,
besides baqy limbs being blown off.
