The officers, led by Chief Chap man, arrived at the place after the negro's body was blazing. They did not interfere with the burning of tho body nor make any arrests.

The negroes In the vi cinity locked themselves in their houses. It required over an hour and a half for the body to burn. The lynching of the negro met with popular approval, although there was regret that tho prisoner had been taken away from the o Alee rs of the law, but the stealing away and burn ing of the dead "body is denounced by the better element of citizens as an atrocious outrage on tho fair name of Macon.

Thc negro was quickly hurried away to the county jail, while several per sons went to the assistance of thc young woman. Negro Attempted Another Assault. It has developed that Charley Pow ell attempted a similar attack on a married lady living only a short dist ance from the scene of this outrage iess than a half hour before. Only her desperate fighting and pluck .saved her, and when s?ie successfully repulsed him and escaped, he ran Into an. adjoining room and pulled a 12-year-old girl out of the bed by tho hair. Fearing pursuit he then jumped from the roof of the porch to the ground, ran up Walnut street two or three blocks and then met the young lady whom ho so brutally treated and robbed. While the body was at the under taking establishment to-day, and be fore lt was stolen away and burned, identification was made positive by the lady whom the negro first at tacked. ?OWDER ly Pure f Powder made Cream of Tartar INIE PHOSPHATE THO HB ANDS WITNESS TRAGEDY.

Washington, Rob. 5.-All pf the trouble in which tho Democrats of the HOUBO of Representativos aro now involved over tho various nppro prlalion bills genorally associated with that familiar phrase, "The pork barrel." owe their origin directly to the unprecedented service pension bill which wa? passed with,a wild whoop carly In tho session. The headlong pnssngo of this ex travagant and foolish moasuro was one of tho greatest blunders the De mocracy over committed, and clio cherished hopo of the wlsor leaders of the House majority now is that the Senate may* not block the bill and give tho House a chance to cor rect In some degree its colossal error. While it ls probable that tho Sen ate will balk at the folly of an addi Hon of $75,000,000 a year to the pen sion expenditures of tho government, this is by no means certain. Thero are in the Senate lt?elf, of course, a certain number of men who atv in favor of pension legislation without limit. Then there are some Repub lican Senators who might lot tho do sire to "put tho Democrats In a hole" about, .their economy program over come the just considerations of tho public Interest and tho condition of the national exchequer. And last In the equation, but perhaps most dis turbing, ls a dlsiMisition on tho part of some Senators ot both parties to "teach the House a lennon" and let the Sherwood bill go through with out serious amendment. Some of tho Senators aro very tired of the habit into which the Houso.haK fallon ol' pausing all sorts of extravagant legislation and de pending on tho Senato to stop., lt The SeiiaU,' ??-eV?.thnt.. litixpfy 'V unfair, and it knows that lt/couRpIn^ Hlci teri !blo punishment upon "the more pop ii ar body1' hy" letting the $75,000,0.00 hill go -through. if the President in that event should sign the measure, a bond issuo might 1)0 required to meet the additional out lay which would he the result. And wouldn't that bo a pretty dish for the Southern. Democratic members to take home to their constituents? Consistency may bo unhesitatingly admitted in tho caso of those Repre sentatives who voted against tho pension hill as well as against the public buildings and the battleship appropriations; but in tho caso of many of tho members who voted for the big pension grab lt ls Impossi ble to avoid the belief that their eagerness to annihilate other pro jects is due to a desire to make sure of enough cash in tho treasury to pay tho enormous increase In pen sions for which they aro laboring. Is it a wonder that many Southern members aro "sore" over such a sit uation ? TUR ROOK fIllili PLAN.
