They carried him across the river into the woods but towards daylight tlicy were notified that squads of racu were scouring the entire adjacent country. They thought it best to bring their prisoner back to town and place him in jail". They were proceeding to the jail and on Franklin road, near Tenth avanuc, a squad of men about 20 in number, rushed upon them and ? | tho prisoner. With shouts and yells, the ( determined men rushed the negro to t he . nearest tree. He was hanged to a hickory limb and his body riddled with bul- j lets and horribly mangled, and the small | body of men who did the work dispersed. | With the br ak of day crowds of people | began to throng the streets leading to the tcone ofjthe latest tradgedv in this ter* . rible drama.

Corener Gray and a jury repaired early to the scene of the lynch- j ing and after viewiog the body ef the | dead man rendered verdict that the ne- , gro came to death at the hands of persons unknown to them. ^ After the inquest the officers were ordered to take charge of the body, but the surging mass of avenging men which had by this time assembled would not let them touch him. A coal cart passing near by was pressed into service, and the body was thrown into it. It was then hauled to Mayor Trout's residence on j Campbell avenue, it seeming to be the in teation of the mob to bury it in his front yard. At this critical moment Rev. W. C. Campbel', a Preibyterian |<nin stor, appeared upon the scene and told the mob that such procedure would never do. He spoke kindly to them and at last dissuaded them from carrying out their plan. i'Ue uony uunng fits urn; nvt not bccu removed from the cart, so at the suggestion by som > one in the crowd, they took it over to the edge of the river to burn it.

General Cummings s Story.

Too much oanuot be aaid ol the glorious climate of Southern Calia fornia. It cured me completely. I 8 had not drawn a loug breath for niucr teen years, but six months after my arrival in California I was practically I a well man, could climb the mountains , with anybody and would not have hesi: tated to tackle Corbett or Sullivan. Hut I started out to tell you a melon i story. It is absolutely true, although ! most of my friends to whom I have related it are skeptical on tho subject. One day a friend and I decided to go up tho mountains for a picnic. Wo engaged a stage and driver at San Diego and secured all the necessary supplies for a picnic. We must have been half way up tho mountains when wo overheard our driver having some words with a man who was walking along tho side of tlio road. Wo were so much occupied with tho scenery wo did not catch what passed between them. Suddenly this sentence rang out on the air with startling clearness: 'I can pay you now. * It was repeated : 'I enn pay you now.* Glancing in tho direction of the man who was so anxious to make an immediate payment I beheld a shabbily dressed individual who had all the appearaueo of a tramp. Ho turned, and with the air of a Vanderhilt said again: 'If you will come around to tho house I will pay you now.' With that he climbed over the fonco and disappeared. Our driver drew up his horses, and turning to us said: 'Gentlemen thnt beats anything I over heard of.' He then explained that ho had sold ten acres of land to the man who had been addressing him, some three months previous, for 8750. As it was past tho time for planting orange trees he had agreed to give him until the next year to pay for tho land. 'That was only three months ago,' the driver added, 'and you can judge my astonishment on n^2&ibPth^rcha8er now now. It will take us a little onfert ' our way to go to his house, but if you ' have no objection I would like to go i there and get the mouey. Perhaps ho s has struck gold on his place.' " "Our curiosity was aroused and wo > told our driver to go after his mouoy. r On approaching tho place I was struck r by tho enormous quantity of water1 melons that met my gaze. It seemed 1 to me I had never seen so many mel1 ons before in my life. They were ly1 ing threo deop all over tho ground. They were of immense size too. When we drove to the houso the man appeared and promptly handed out i driver $750 in gold. It seems ho had planted water melons, as it was too late when he bought the ten acres ? to put in orango trees. He had only c sold a small patch of his melons (not ' more than half an acre) and had realized over $1200, If he sold all of his melons at the end of the season he ' must have cleared $4000 to $5000, a pretty fair profit on a farm of ten \cres."?New York Press.

Stupid as a pianist, is a simile at once apt and exact. A man like Pnderewski, who divides his time between practicing in private and performing in public, has littlo leisure for flie study of differential calculus, cuneiform inscriptions or any one of the other thousand subjects of which a proper understanding is the manifest characteristic, of a cultivated, and sprightly mind. Nevertheless, before sailing for other shores, Paderewski managed to get off a little jest. It was a poor thing, and not his own. Yet, uttered by an artist assurprising as he, it is not undeserving of record.
