Thomasville, Ga., April 28.?Under a heavy military guard, Harvey Harris, the negro who was to-day convicted of criminal assault upon a prominent white woman of this county, and sentenced to die on the gallows on May 20, was taken to Macon on a special train this afternoon. The successful transfer of the negro to another jail for safe keeping ; ~?:S: ended a riotous day and a determined body of two thousand men and boys who had gathered early bent on lynching Harris and who had one rather serious encounter with the troops, went sullenly to their homes to-night. Following the clash early this morning between the mob and the . i Thomasville military company, the governor ordex'ed the companies at fesj i- Albany and Valdo%ta to proceed here on special trains. With the arrival of these companies the mob spirit quickly died down. The trial of the negro was brief. V ' The court room was cleared of spectators and the troops stood guard at the entrances. Attorneys were api pointed by the court to defend Harris, the jury quickly drawn and Mrs. 7 Dntton, the first witness, told the details of the assault, breaking down at .;:7 the conclusion of the testimony. She '-7 was followed by Sheriff Houston, of y? Leon county, Florida, who testified 5 7 that following Harris' capture in Talf? lahassee the negro made a voluntary 'V: confession of the crime. Harris did ; not take the stand nor did any witnesses appear for him. There were no arguments and the jury, following a brief charge, returned a verdict of guilty within two minutes after rer tiring. Judge Mitchell then sentenced the negro to be hanged on May 20, emancipation day in Georgia. A Man Wants to IMe 'fi.;only when a lazy liver and sluggish bowels cause frightful despondency. Hr.

Negroes Play Highwaymen. t New Orleans, April 26.?After sucSsiM? ;X,cessfully holding up and robbing the and passengers of street cars an several occasions a gang of negroes disguised as white men have been rounded up by the New Orleans police on the outskirts of the city early to-day. In a running battle with y. the officers one of the negroes was fatally wounded. To throw off all suspicion as to their color, the highwaymen wore ? " ; - white kid gloves and masks that comI* ? pletely covered their faces. Following ^ several holdups, Chief of Police r N O'Connor and Chief of Detectives Reynolds laid a trap into which the SssJ&.m :i kia'hwavmen fell. .. The result was a running fight ? shortly before daylight between Alfred and OUie Smith, brothers, and Patrolmen Roy and Jackson, immediately after the negroes had held up a. car on the Petera avenue line. The negroes were making for the swamps and exchanged a score or more of shots with the patrolmen. . Alfred < Smith, one of the negroes, finally fell with several shots through his body [ , and his brother was captured a short time later. The capture of the Smiths resulted in the rounding up of several othi er negroes alleged to be members of the gang which has been operating successfully for a week or more. A trunk filled with valuables taken , from passengers was being prepared u fo# shipment when the suubsequent arrests were made. c ' y Where is the state of matrimony? It is in the United States.

Second District Representative in Race to Finish. Washington, April 28.?Congressman Patterson, in addition to the statement made yesterday positively announcing that he had no idea of withdrawing from the race and re election to the House, and that he would again become a candidate, today issued a still longer statement on the subject. In declaring himself a candidate, he said: "The campaign will soon be opened, and I desire to say to my friends in the 2d Congressional district that I shall be a candidate to succeed myself to the 62d Congress in the primary, to be held during the coming summer. This announcement will, I trust, dispel the erroneous idea in the minds of a few, created by recent exaggerated reports, that my capacity for effective work had been diminished by reason of ill health. Realizing by experience that a Representative's usefulness is in direct proportion to his length of service, I feel that I am better qualified to serve my constituents now than at any time in the past, and if I am returned to Congress, they shall receive the benefit of the experience I have gained by reason of participation in public affairs. "Like other members of the minority party in Congress I have been handicapped, and as a result of partisan action some of the plans I have for improvement in our district and State, for which I have labored most, have not been disposed of yet, but -1 - 1? il nnllnnm,A(, snaring iii tut; ucnei ui 1117 wucaguco that Democratic ideas of government will prevail in Congress after the November elections, I am more anxious than ever to be a member of the next Congress and consummate the work I have already projected in the interest of our district. "I am deeply grateful to my friends for their past friendship and support, and hope to be honored with it again. I am enjoying good health and am very much alive to the needs and welfare of my constituency, and if again honored with a nomination, pledge the best efforts of both head and heart to your service."

Threatens to Lynch. Thomasville, Ga., April 27.?Mobs began forming in Thomasville early to-night when it was announced that Howard Harris, who is to be tried here to-morrow for an alleged attempted assault upon a young matron of this county would be brought here shortly after midnight from Florida. The Thomasvilje Guards were called out, and later it was stated by Judge Robert G. Mitchell of the superior court that the negro would not be brought* here until to-morrow. He stated that the guards will go to Valdosta and meet Harris there. It is probable that the Valdosta troops will return to this place and aid in the protection of the negro should any further demonstration be made. Much excitment was caused tonight when the mobs began forming, but this was allayed to a great extent by the determination not to bring the negro to-night. The trial is to begin just as soon as the negro and troops reach here to-morrow. \fr? rjnttnn will be the chief witness for the prosecution. Meets Frightful Death. Lamar, April 27.?Walter Byrd, an 18-year-old white boy, was almost instantly killed near Lamar to-day. Byrd, who was fireman on the Williams & McKeithan Lumber Co. log train at the camp near here, while attempting to couple the engine to a loaded train, had his head caught and crushed between the tender and a projecting log. This wound probably would havei not happened on a straight track, i but unfortunately the train was on a curve at the time. Byrd was brought to Lamar and died almost immediately without becoming conscious. His body was carried to his former home at Lumber to-night for burial. He was the chief support of a widowed mother and a sister. fioos to Florida. Greenwood, April 27.?N. M.

At the same time the board expressed regret that he was to 4eave Greenwood. ENGLAND'S NEW HARBOR. The Great Naval Base at Dover Costing $20,000,000. The new harbor recently completed at Dover, England, by the British admiralty, which was formally opened by the Prince of Wales, is, according to Technical World, one of the greatest engineering feats ever put in hand and brought to a successful completion. This new home for the British flpAt ran claim the distinction of be ing the largest artificial harbor in the world. It encloses at low tide a water area of no less than 619 acres, affording ample accommodation for a fleet of twenty-five first-class battleships with the attendant smaller craft, such as torpedo boats, gunboats, etc. This harbor has taken eleven years to construct and has cost the government $20,000,000. By its erection the ancient port of Dover has been transformed into a powerful naval base. The reason for this transformation is not far to seek. It is the policy of the British admiralty for the strength and bulk of their ships to lie nearest their strongest rival. That rival to-day is Germany, hence the desirability of equipping Dover with an efficiently protected harbor, where the ships can lie safely at anchor and yet be in a position to strike quickly at the North Sea. As a matter of fact other naval bases are being erected on the east coast of Great Britain. One is now nearing completion at Rosyth in Scotland, and another new harbor is to be constructed in the Orkneys. S The Dover harbor, begun in 1898, has been secured by contsructing three arms or walls. The well known Admiralty pier, whi^h had a length of 1,000 feet, has been extended another 2,000 feet and forms the western arm of the harbor. The second runs out 3,320 feet from the base of the cliffs, and the third arm is the breakwater, 4,200 feet in length, situated three-quarters of a mile from the shore and almost parallel with it. , i I In Modest Florida. j . J. Curtis Sturtevant, at a dinner at Palm Beach, illustrated with a story the modesty of children, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "One warm February morning here in Florida," he said, "I was motoring with a young lady, and by a stream we got out to gather flowers. After * a while a boy came up and said: " 'Hey, mister, is that your girl over there?' " 'Yes, I suppose so,' said I. " 'Well, tell her to go home,' said he. 'Us fellers wants to go in swimmin'.' "I told the young lady of this odd request, but as she had not yet finished her bouquet, she said, with a laugh, I must tell the boys she would not look. She'd shut her eyes. "This thfy were duly told. And they .consulted gravely on it. Then the spokesman returned to me and said: " 'The fellers says they dassent trust her.'"
