The recent attempt of yonng King to get away with $30,000 from tho Boylston Bank has drawn forth some incidents connected with that inaiitu- tion’s previouR.expcrienc.es. The fol- lowing one given ns by a New Haven man is connected with the robbery of about 1869, when some $400,00p was lifted from the hank’s vaults by an elaborately "they worked plan. The method by which worked, hiring a barber shop next the hank and rnnniug it for several nights, while drilling through the division wall, is familiar to the press; hut a little incident, which is not On generally known is this: the night of tho robbery the late Conductor “Hez” McKinney of this city took charge of his “owl” train ho at Springfield. Among his passengers noticed particularly three or four well-dressed men, though they did not evidence any connection between them and were not seated together, One of these men had no ticket, and saying he was going to Now Haven, produced a bill in a casual way to pay the faro. McKinney was pleased at tho size of the bill—a crisp $1,000 bank note and said ho would have to hand him tho change after the next stop, Hartford. At Hartford he got the money, nnd as tbo train started, his went through the car to the scat that man had occupied to square ac- counts. He identified tho passenger carefully, nnd started to hand out the money. The occupant of tho seat, however, appeared not to recognize him, gave a blank Blare of amazement at the mass of money, nnd professed to have no knowledge of it, haring just got on at Hartford. Though McKinney insisted on the identity and urged tho man to taka tho money, he stoutly ro- fused. When collection of tickets ■was made this passenger produced Borne small change and paid faro to Meriden, where ho got off tho train, The other men left tho train at differ- ent stations. At the ond of tho trip MoKinny re- ported the occurrence at headquarters and while refusing to hand over tho i money, suggested that it bo put in a j bank and advertised, which ho himself did. No claim was over made for it. After a long wait tho railroad com- pany undertook to claim the money, ! but MoKinny couldn’t see it in that ; light. He paid over tho fare from Springfield to New Haven and re- I tained tho tho rest, being supported in his action by legal opinion. When he had allowed a considerable further j time for any psssihle claim, MoKinny j used the money in nicely furnishing his home , No cine could ever ho found as to the source of the money, : but of course the conjecture was that the bill was probably a part of the bank s funds; that he passenger handed it out by mistake ami dtscov- ermg it when too late, decided to let it all go rather than leave a trad.- ; New Haven Leader. !

' l(1 n< -‘ff rn criminals outnumber the whites six to one in proportion to population. In-Georgia they out- number the whites sixty to one and it because of our scattered ami nn- protected population in the rural di>- tricts. Before the war that crime was unknown and almost unheard of in the south. 1 never heard of a ease in north Georgia. In 1852 I bad occasion visit Cedar Bluff in Alabama and my companion, Judge Underwood, stopped tho horse to show me a pile 1 <>f stones Hint was lumped up around a dead and blasted tree, I Those stones,” said lie, “mark the place "here a negro brute was burned two years ago and also mark the place : where he committed the crime and then murdered his victim.” That was the only case that came to mv knowledge. During the war, when in hundreds of families the only protec- tors of women and children were negroes, not a deed of violence or a betrayal of trust was heard of from the 1’otomne to the Itio Grande; nnd General Henry 1!. Jackson eloquently said of them, “they deserve a monu men I that would reach the stars.” How is it now? Nearly ’1,000 colored convicts in the clmingaiigs mid less than 200 whites, and (lie. nameless crime in committed by nogrnen sonio- where every dnv in t-lie year. What is the cause of this alarming degeneracy of the negro? I heard a prea-her say the oilier day that lynching for this crime or any other was tho evidence of a depraved aud lawless public aenti- meat. Ho is mistaken It is rather the evidence of minds charged,perhaps overcharged, with love and respect for wives nnd daughters, aud no man who has neither is a lit juror to try the case, lie is incapable of understand- inn or appreciating the common peril that, like a shadow, hangs over the farmer’s home, lm it ever so bumble, Parental love is nearly all that these di ,, 0O ple have to give' to their cl.il e:, and they give that „„d cherish Hum. and will defend them as „ tigress defends her wliolps. Wlmt is the majesty of tlie law worth to a man whose child lias fallen victim to a brute? What is it to his neighbor who all these years has been from time to time apprehending a similar visitn- tioii? What does a young man, whoth- cr preacher or editor or lawyer, know about it? Jean Ingelow (God bless her sweet memory!) makes the old fisherman to say: “I feel for mariners of stormy nights am] f,> e l for wives that watch ashore.” Who knows the perils of the deep like fishermen? Some of those learned judges and law yers and preachers of Atlanta have and given malignant vent to language that is bitter against lyuehiugs for any crime, but it is to bo noted dial they have long lived in call of tho po¬ lice by night and by day, and within brick walls and with neighbors at hand ou every side. What can they know of tho peril of the fanner whose wife visits a neighbor, or whose ohihl- reu hftve to go a mile away to school? Perhaps what some inquiring mind will ask do 1 know about it? Twenty years ago l moved from tho city to the country and farmed there for ten years, and all that time the apprelieu- won there grew stronger and stronger, for were negroes all around me ou tho farms, and more negroes not far away working in the miues. I never expressed my fears, not even to my wife; but when our boys all left the farm for other avocations, and I had to bo BWay mos( pf the timP( mv , vif(> b(1 . camc alarmed, and 1 immediately left tbo trtnu nU(l UU)V6ll to town for secu¬ rity.

Lynching negroes for 'hi® or ' u| e i R ho evidence of lawless- stands h«* r among our people. The crime for out by itself as nu atroe !t . v which no law is adequate and no d should remedy has yet been found. Why be ou the increase, in deli 11100 of lynching* we cannot tell. It may be that since the war northern {hitavhropy, supplemented by south¬ ern office-seekers, have so exalted his consequence and bis desire for social has equality that liis fear of punishment been allayed. But certain it is •hat the race has not yet been greatly intimidated by lynching*, and they are considered martyrs by most of their preachers and tea hers and editors. How many more outrages there would ho if lynching* should stop we can only conjecture. Bishop Turner pro¬ posed a day of fasting and prayer for the deliverance of his people from these horrible lynching*, bit not a shall hear and fear?” What a horrible death was that! And yet it was a com- mon and a frequent punishment. If I mn a preacher f wouldn't go to the Old Testament for a text against lynch¬ ing. I wouldn’t even quote Cain, whom the Lord marked, for it seem s very certain that if the Lord had not interfered the people would have lynched him. Josephus says that the Lord protected him because of his offering and because lie entreated and said: “I my sin too great-to he foi given?” To my mind the sum of the whole matter is that neither the law’s delay nor its uncertainty has anything to do "i'h Ihc impulses and emotions that control men when they pursue and overtake and identify and execute a negro for his crime against helpless innocence. Every parent and bus- hand and brother in the neighborhood immediately becomes an avenger of blood. If the brute has already been caught by the officers of the law and securely placed irr prison, then let him stay there and meet his doom accord¬ ing to law. I would not take any prisoner away from an honest and faithful sheriff-—unless, perhaps, the victim was one of my family, nor even then unless it could lie done without shedding the blood of officers or friends. For all other c/iraes the laws we have are good enough for all good citi¬ zens, and I feel no great concern for word about the outrages that provoke them. But it is curious and somewhat amusing to read the different counts in this general bill of indictment against the people who resort to violence. Some assert vehemently that there is a defect in the law ’s machinery, and some say not. One preacher says that 98 p r cent of those indited escape. One more would come square up to Judgo Dooly’s estimate when he su d: “Gentlemen of the jury, I charge yon that the ninety-nine guilty ones have already escaped.” One learned lawyer says that. Ryder would certainly have been tried and convicted in Septem¬ ber, and doubtless been speedily ex¬ ecuted. Another says he would have been sent to the asylum as a lunatic. Judgo Bleckley says the law- needs no reforming—-that. it. is right now. Tho Bar association have resolved that it does need reforming. One preacher quotes scripture that says “The land must not he defiled with blood,” but does not give the context that says “innocent blood,” and tho fur¬ ther context that says “Deliver him unto the hand of the avenger of blood that he, may die, and thine eyes shall not pity him.” Life for life, hand for hand, etc. “Let them stone him with atones,” etc. It. seems like a burlesque for any preacher to go to the old Mosiac law tor a text against summary pun¬ ishment of heinous crimes. The avenger of blood was on the warpath all tlio time and even the mail who un¬ wittingly killed Ins neighbor, not hat¬ ing him before hand, had to fly for his life to the city of refuge lest tho a von- ger of blood overtake him, and being hot shall slay him. Yes, being hot shall slay him Those avengers of blood must have been blood-thirsty ft'I lows indeed. It. was an awful code of Jaw, but the children of Israel were an aw- fnit race to deal with, I wonder what tho hoys of this generation would say to a law like this: “If a man have a stubborn and re¬ bellions son who will not obey the \oi<v of hts lather or his mother, then shall liis father lay hold on him and bring him to the elders and say, this, our son, will not. obey our voice, And all ith the stones men of lho eiiy shall stone him w that he die. And Israel the bad. I suppose that at least half the lawyers carry concealed weapons, but they don’t carry them for me. Certain it is I want no advice on this subject from press or pub it, from judges or lawyers, aud especially from young unmarried men or those who live iu rook-built cities. I hud rather hear and heed the voice of the women of this southern land, tho mothers and daughters who alone are the victims " hen peril comes, if it comes at all.

FOUND GUILTY AND SENTENCED TO HANG AUGUST 25. * JURY WAS OUT SEVENTEEN HOURS Convicted Murderer’s Attorney Moves Htrafghttvuy for a New Trial—Argu¬ ment W ill he Heard on the I4th. LdwardC. Flanagan was pronounced guilty of murder by tho jury at Deca¬ tur, Ga., Saturday morning. He was at once sentenced by the judge, Hon. John S. Candler, to die on the gallows on Wednesday, August 25th. Colonel Glenn, the prisoner’s lead¬ ing counsel, straightway filed a motion for a new trial. It will he argued on Saturday, August 14th. The jury was out seventeen hours before reaching a verdict. At 8:45 Saturday morning Flanagan was led, handcuffed, to the court¬ house. “Let the jury come out," said the judge. The 12 men who for six days had patiently this struggled with all the facts of remarkable case, tiled into the room. “Gentlemen, have yon agreed upon a verdict?” asked liis honor. “We have,” said the foreman. Solicitor Kimsey took the paper on which was written the prisoner’s fate and read in clear tones: “We, the jury find the defendant guilty.” < i I ask that the jury be polled,” said Colonel Glenn. j he judge called the name of each juror and asked: “Is that your verdict? Do you agree to it?” Every man re- sponded promptly, “yes.” downcast During this time Flanagan sat with eyes as if meditating the fate that was in store for him. Mr. Flanagan, stand up!” said Judge Candler. The man slowly rose, and sentence was pronounced as follows: “It is ordered by the court that the defendant, Edward C. Flanagan, he taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of DeKalb county and bo there safely and securely kept until Wednesday, the 25th day of August, 1897, when, between the hours of 11 o’clock a. m. and 1 o’clock p. m., he shall be taken from there by the sheriff of DeKalb county aud in private in the jail yard of DeKalb county, be lmng by the neck until he is dead,aud may God have mercy on his soul.” “It is further ordered that in the execution of the sentence said sheriff have such guard as in his discretion is necessary, and that he procure the at¬ tendance of two physicians to ascer¬ tain when life is extinct. “It is further ordered that tho de¬ fendant lie allowed at the time of the execution of this sentence to have us many as two ministers of the gospel present, and such of his immediate family as he may desire, to he limited by the discretion of the sheriff,” After sentence had been passed the judge discharged the jury, after thank¬ ing them fur their attendance and good deportment. INSURGENTS CAPTURE A TOWN. They Got #40,000 In Gold, Besides a Big Lot. of Supplies. The story telegraphed from Havana last about an attack by insurgents on Mariano, a suburban town, is fully confirmed by passengers who left Ha¬ vana on the riant line steamer Mns- cotte Saturday noon and arrived at Tampa, Fla., Saturday night. The engagement was short and des¬ perate. Forty-nine Spaniards were killed and 120 wounded; two Cubans were killed and twenty wounded. The inhabitants of the town lied for. their lives, leaving the insurgents in complete possession. They sacked the place and secured $40,000 in gold besides a lot of supplies that they could carry away. Twelve Mill Operatives Drown.

IN PAMPHLET FORM. The Nsw Tariff Ait Makes a Document of Seventy Pages, A Washington special says: The first copies of the tariff act in law form for circulation have been received at the document rooms of the senate and house. The law makes a pamphlet of 70 pages. The members of tho house will have 25,0 0, the senators 10,000 and the senate committee on finance l i.OOO copies for distribution, making 50,000 in all to be circulated. TARIFF ACT CAUSES HOWL. Protestations Pouring In From All Farts Of the World. A Washington speccial says: In a late number of the Congressional Rec¬ ord containing speeches on the tariff Conference report is a speech by M. N. Johnson, of North Dakota, in which he makes a compilation of the protests received by the state department from tho representatives of foreign governments against certain duties imposed in the Dingley tariff hill while that measure was pending. Some of these protests have been made public, others have been re¬ ferred to the committees having the tariff bill in charge, and little or no attention has been paid to them. Nearly all these communications revert to the commerce between the several countries and the United States. They insist that the new tariff bill will retard that commerce and some of them intimate that it will result in decreasing the demand for American goods; some of the ministers disclaim any intention to interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, but make the representations of the bonelit of the commerce between the countries. Some suggestions are made that the injury to be done the treasury of the United States on ac¬ count of the imposition of the pro¬ posed duties will be considerable. Minister Brim, of Denmark,calls at¬ tention to the fact that the tariff on American goods going into Denmark is very favorable and that his govern¬ ment views with a great deal of ap¬ prehension the pending tariff bill and the rates especially. Sir Julian Paunceforte sent two very brief communication, one in Decem¬ ber, 1896, informing the state depart¬ ment that the fishery board of Scot- laud protested against tho high rate 1 cured herrings and at the request on of marquis of Salisbury he represents to the United States government that the high rates which the Dingley bill imposes on salt mackerel and other cured fish would cause grave injury to the fishermen on the west coast of Ire¬ land. This note is dated June 18,1897. The protest of Argentine agaiust the duty on hides and wool and of Japan against a number of duties has already been published. China made a pro¬ test on lines similar to those of Japan. SMALLPOX IN ALABAMA. Over Three Hundred Cases Developed But No Deaths Desalt. The physicians of Montgomery, Ala., have practically all agreed that the twelve cases of sickness now- in the city’s pesthouse are smallpox, al¬ though of a mild form. Compulsoi y vaccination has been ordered and the police are goiug from house to house insisting on compliance with the law. The smallpox situation in tho state is now somewhat alarming, The dis¬ ease is of the mildest type ever known to the physicians, but it is spreading too much for the public safely. The very mild form of the disease is shown by the fact that out of the 500 cases developed in Alabama within a few months not a death has resulted. This fact is acknowledged to be due to the season of year. The physiciaus explain that during the summer the patients can he kept in well ventilated rooms, where tire air and sunshine can reach them, nnd these elements counteract the poison in the patient’s system. It is acknowledged that uu less the disease is stamped out before winter the consequences will be dis¬ astrous. LOCOM0TIVES DEXTUOYE1). Western Hallway's Bound House at Mont ¬ gomery Burned to the Ground. Saturday night the round house of the Western railroad at Montgomery, Ala., caught fire aud in less than an hour it was a complete wreck. The building was full of engines, and it is said that eleven were destroyed, some of them the finest on the road. The machine shop attached to the round house was also completely wrecked. The building was principally of wood and, being very dry, burned like pine lightiwood. The damage is heavy, but fully covered by insurance. Only Need Material.
