New Jersey Woman Assaulted.
Burlington, N. J., July 8.-With
ber one-year-old babe by ber. side
and her husband away, delivering
milk, Mrs. Elsie T. Biddle, the young
wife of Charles T. Hiddle, n farmer,
living along tho Ranchers road, near
herc, was the victim of criminal as
sault and robbery by three negroes,
and a man-hunt is ' in progress
through tho surrounding country.
Hundreds of men armed with all
sorts of weapons aro in pursuit of
thc perpetrators. Two negro sus
pects were brough*, to the Burling
ton jail. At thc lockup a large crowd
had assembled and threatened to
lynch them. It was with much difli
culty that they were gotten into thc
building safely. Mrs. Hiddle was
washing.the breakfast dishes when
she heard a rap at the door. Re
sponding to the call she was con
fronted hy three masked negroes, one
of whom she recognized. This man
hehl a revolver to her head and dc
mand?e! her money. .She protested
she had nothing, to which thc negro,
who bad been employed on the farm
and knew thc family, replied that she
lied and that money was on thc BOO
onoV)lloor. Leaving one man on
guard thc other two forced Mrs. Hid
dle to go up stairs and secure tho
money. Under cover of thc revolver
she produced $1!5. Thc negroes
found a walch which they returned,
on her plea that it was given to her
by her mother. Thc negro on guard
was called upstairs and Mrs. Biddle's
hands were tied behind her and two
handkerchiefs stuffed in her mouth.
With n revolver pointed at her head
Mrs. Hiddle was assaulted by each
of tho negroes.

Archeological Discoveries.
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. Formakovski,
howevor, is onrefully examining
every antiquo unearthed, to establish
its genuine oharaoter, as it was on
this sito that thc spurious tiara of
Saitaphanes, now in tho Lottvro, was
alleged to havo boon discovord.

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.
Tho negro, before he was shot,
refused to acknowledge his guilt.

A Christian Science Story.
A woll-known physician, who is
somewhat skeptical as to tho sound
ness of Christian Soionce doctrines,
tells this story of an ardent Eddyite
and her little boy :
The mother was crossing the field
with her smnll son when a n-oat ap
peared and came towarcf them
threateningly, to tho dismay of the
youngster, who shrank in terror be
hind his mother's skirt. Remember
ing her bolief "sho tried to renssuro
him.
"Why, Georgie," she said sooth
ingly, as the goat continued to ad
vance, "don't you know that you aro
a Christian Soionce little boy, that
there's no such thing as pain, and
that it would bo useless for tho goat
to try to hurt you? Don't you know
that ?"
"YOB," wailed tho doubting be
liever between his sobs, "I know it
and you know it, but tho goat don't
know it."-Ilarpor's Weekly.

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.
After tho convention adjourned, a
meeting of tho national committee
was hold and James ll. Ferris, of
Joliot, 111., was olected chairman and
