Some highly interesting and valua ble archeological discoveries have been made on thc silo of thc ancient Greek city Olbin. The site is situated on thc son th ern bank of the Hong, about midway between Otohnkoff and Nicolaieff, and not far distant from the estuary ot" thc Dnieper. This ancient city was a colony of Miletus G56 B. C., anti was a great center for Greek trade with thc in terior. lt is generally maintained among archeological authorities that a trade route extended from Olbin across tho country to thc Northern sea, and when a timi of ancient Greek coins was made, it was contended to bo substantial proof of thc fact. Re cently, however, it was proved that j these coins were spurious. Olbin. was destroyed by thc Get a- about 70 to 60 H. 0.1 but it revived, and when it was visited by Dion" Chrysostom about 100 A. D., it was again a nourishing city. Tho excavations that arc now in progress upon tho sito of this city arc being carried out by M. Formakovski under ibo auspices of tho Russian Archeologi cal Society. Mr. Formakovski has succeeded in unearthing extensive portions of tho walls ami foundations of tho original city, which dato back from thc seventh century B. C. Thc masonry is identical with that of the ruins of ancient cities excavated in various parts of Greece, Before this depth was reached, two different strata of walls and basements bear ing descriptions of the fourth and first centuries B. C. were encoun tered. The stone blocks composing thc ruins of houses, temples, etc., in these upper strata arc of remarkably cxfc t area, square proportions, anti ox< dcntly dressed. Tho moro solid constructivo work is, how? -br, found in thc remains of tho original city. At this depth there was unearthed a perfectly preserved wino cellar. Some fifty hugo jars or vases had evidently contained red wino, now turned to a light powdery substance. A large- collection of vnluahlo an tiques in gold, marble and ancient pottory has also been found ir. those newly uncovered ruins. Theso have boon dispatched to thc Hermitage at 8t. Petersburg. M.

LYNCHED FOR USUAL CRIME. 19-Year-Old Negro Attempted Criminal As sault on Small White Girl and Woman. Choraw, July 6.-Another tragedy has ocourred in Chesterfield county as tho result of tho barbario instinot of a beastly negro. This is tho sec ond lynohing to take place in Ches terfield oounty within oue year, the ouly cases of illegal execution to occur within her borders. John Taylor, a 19-year-old negro, of a dark brown oolor, and darker, meaner countenance, was shot to death at Middendorf, a station ou the Sea board Air Line, 20 miles South of herc, for having attempted a criminal assault upon a 9-year-old white child and a white woman near Middendorf yesterday. Tho story of the negro's crimen are as follows : John Taylor, a negro laborer employed on a Sea board Air Lino work train, now at Middendorf, left the other train hands Monday morning, stating that bo was going fishing. At 10 o clock he called at tho house of Mr. Neal C. Johnson, a good, respectable farmer, living two miles from tho Middendorf station, and asked the way to the railroad, saying to Mrs. Johnson that he was lost. Tie passed on, and a little later, as Mrs. John son was on her way to a spring to water her cow, the negro sprang from behind a tree and grabbed ber. She screamed and her son in a nearby field heard her and called to his father and the negro was fright ened away. At about 12 o'clock the negro called at the home of J. E. Doueyhew and inquired tho way to tho railroad, stating-agnih that he was lost. Mr. Doneyhew directed tho negro to tho railroad and ho dc Eartod in that direction. Half an our later ns Mr. Doneyhew and his brother-in-law were leaving his bouse they pnssed tho negro in the woods about a half mile from tho houso only partially dressed. - After the mon passed tho negro he went back to Doneyhew's house aud finding no one in tho house but a 9-ycar-old daughter, he rushed in, grabbed her and struck her ono or two licks. She began crying ami told the negro her mother was in thc yard. He ran to the door and looked, then rushed back and threw her down and would have accomplished his damnable pur pose had not tho mother of the child stepped in. Tho negro disappeared through the woods and made his way back to tho station and bis train. Early this morning ns tho day was gently breaking 25 Steerpcn town ship farmers, armed with shotguns, appeared at tho Middendorf station where tho work train was side tracked, and quietly surrounded tho train. About 30 laborers were on tho train. Capt. M. M. Farrell, con ductor, was informed by ono of thc men that a negro guilty of criminal assault was on his train and they wanted him. Ho gave permission to search the train and John Taylor was marched out as the guilty man. Ho was idontilied by Mrs. Johnson and the father of thc child. A ropo was placed around bis neck and ho was inarched off down tho track. When about half a mile from the station Taylor broke and ran for a nearby swamp, almost making good bis escapo. Ho was pursued by thc armed party and just as ho was en tering a dense swamp be foll riddled with shot. His head was torn np badly and his back covered with shot. Mrs. Johnson was not burt though badly frightened, but tho child is in no good condition. A newspaper correspondent was on tho scene of tho killing two hours after it was completed and found everything quiet. The body of tho negro is lying face downward in tho swamp.

Walhalla Drug (Jo.; Seneca | Pharmacy. Tom Watson Nominated for President. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia for President, and Thomas II Tibbes, of Nebraska, for Vice Presi dent) was tho ticket nominated by tho Populist National Convention which was held in Springfield, 111 last week. Tho names of Wm. V Allen, of Nebraska, and Samuel W Williams, of Indiana, wore also placed before tho convention for President, but before tho list of States had been completed in tho roll call their names were withdrawn and Watson was nominated by acclamation. Former Senator Allen made good his word that ho would not enter into any scramble for tho nomina tion, incl while tho nominations were being made he twice instructed tho chairman of tho Nebraska delegation to say that his name must not go before thc convention. In tho face of this, however, he received over 10 voles. Whether Mr, Watson will accept thc nomination or not no ono in tho convention seemed to know, and all efforts to secure some definite infor mation from Watson's friends failed. Watson was quoted as saying that if tho Democrats at St. Louis nomi nated Hearst ho would support him for President. The platform adopted ts brief and is a practical reaffirmation of tho Omaha platform of 1892. It was adopted as reported by thc commit tee without a dissenting voice. The platform adopted reaffirms former platforms and demands thc issue of money by tho gove 'nmcnt in such quantities ns shall maintain sta bility in prices; the establishment of postal savings banks ; abolition bf child labor ; thc eight-hour day, and tho initiative and referendum. Government by injunction is de nounced. Tho monopoly plank reads that to prevent unjust discrimination and monopoly thc government should own and control tho railroads and those public Utilities which in their nature aro monopolized ; to perfect tho postal Borvico tho government should own and operate a genoral telegraph and telephone system and provide a parcels' post. "As to tiloso trusts and monopo lies which aro not public utilities or natural monopolies, wo demand that thoso special privileges which they now enjoy, and which alono enable them to exist, should bc immediately withdrawn. Corporations hoing tho creatures of government should bo subjected to Buch governmental rcgu "ations and control as will adquately protect thc public Wo demand tho taxation of monopoly privileges, whilo they romain in privato hands, to tho extont of tho value of privi leges granted. "Wo demand that Congress shall cnaot a general law uniformly regu lating tho power and duties of all incorporated companies doing inter state business." Former Congressman E. H. Ridge? Icy, of Kansas attempted to secure the postponement of tho nomination of a ticket until after Ibo St. Louis Convention, but the convention promptly tallied tho resolution.
