SO'MUItMl I'll,
Columbia, S. C., July 15. ? At 2 o'clock
this morning, Ira Johnson, the neigro
who one week ago murdered young
Frank Lang ford, at Piedmont, Green
vllle county, because he told him to
put up a pistol he had drawn on Lang
ford's campanlon, was taken out of the
Greenville Jail, conveyed a mile out of
town and hung. The jailor refused to
give up the keys, but the mob found
them In his room. The sheriff being
awakened, approached the Jail, but
was halted by a sentinel, who put the
barrel of a shot gun In his face.
On Thursday night a orowd'of ne
groes who were guarding the Jail, were
^ dispersed by tliu police and three of
them heavily fined. Being assured
there was ho danger of a lynching, the
Jail was not guarded last night.
There is great excitement In Green
ville tonight. At midnight two mili
tary companies have been ordered out;
one is at the Jail and the other resting
. on their arms in 'the armory. The lire
\englnes ' have steamed up and eltlaens
are guarding their homes. This is
caused by a threat of negroes to lynch
Jamej* Lewis, a white man charged
with murdering a negro and confined
In Jail, and by the further fact th^t
the pedjile fear the application of the
torch to their homes during the night.
The promise of the Greenville au
thorities to protect the prisoner John
son, after having prevented the ne
gfoes from doing so. Is what has
caused the bitter feeling, particularly
as Johnson's counsel says he had six
witnesses to prove that Langford
snapped his pistol at Johnson, five
times before the negro ?hot.
At 12:00 o'clock nothing further had
developed In Greenville.

steamer and communicated to the dock.
The steamer broke away from her moor

between hero and the month of the

threatened the New York Central sta

totally destroyed and the station badly
scorched. When tin- ilanu* were dis

They were quickly aroused and all suc

New York, July lit. ? (Shortly after 4
o'clock this afternoon the northern por
tion of this city was visited by 1111 ex
tremely heavy and devastating storm of
rain, hail and wind. The *4(01111 clouds
darkened the upper part of the city for
a quarter of an hour before the rain
began to fall and in the midst of what
appeared to be a premature twilight,
big drops of rain fell, followed by hail
stones jus large as hickory nuts. 5So
far as known there was no loss of life
or severe bodily injuries*. The break
age of windows and damage to valuable
vegetation in gardens and conservatories
was' considerable. In the vicinity of
iLMith street and Lenox avenue there
were hundreds of sparrows' bodies ly
ing on the side walks iind roadway af
ter the violence of the storm had sub
sided. The htonn was very severe in
Brooklyn and on Long Island. Several
large trees in the Cypress Hill jenietery
were uprooted. At Wood Haven, L. 1.,
it is rejHirtcd that more than .'$0 houses
were blown down. One woman was
killed and a number injured. At Uwl
Bank, N. J., the hail stones were as
large as walyuts and did gtvit damage.
Heavy Hnil Storm.
llarlford, Conn., July l.'t, ? A destruc
tive tin il storm, accompanied by wind,
swept through tne tobaoco sections about
here this afternoon between .'t and 4
o'clock, extending over a track about lit
miles wide. Windsor I^cks, Sutlicld,
10a st Hartford, CJInstonbury, Manches
ter and Wethersficld were the towns
that suffered worst. ? In SuNicId the
tobacco crop is riddled and practically
ruined. At Wood's station, just nortli
of Windsor Locks, Harvcj Fuller, \yJ?o
had sought refuge in a rdicd, was struck
by lightning ami severely injured. In
Clnstonhiiry the hail fell two hiches
deep on the fields and where it fell from
the roofs of barns and houses it was IS
inchcM .deep. The tobacco crop in that
town and in the south part of 10a st
Hartford is totally ruined. Leaves are
stripped from the trees and the whole
section is devastated. In this city the
hail was heavy, and in the southwestern
section garden crops were destroyed.
The loss cannot be estimated, as the
wires are down in many places and
telephoning is iui|s?ssihlc. It will cer
