Auk. 11.- While 1,000 men, women and children Htood by. shouting their approval. Peter Carter, a negro, who had previously been captured l>y three members of his own race and Ideutitied as the man who last night attacked the wifa wf a farmer, was burner* b> death on r brush pile In the main street of Purcell -it 5 o'clock th'a afternoon. Deputy Sheriff llay.s ,u d I'mbr Sher? iff Karris, who attempt d to rescue the negro from the crowd, were over? powered and :?" k. d in th n house. The victim was assaulted while alone In her home one mile south of Purcell. After the deed, the negro set fire to the house. The Vlettm'a husband saw the flames while work? ing In the tlelds and rushed into tho house In time to rescue his wife. She declared Carter, who formerly worked on the farm, had attacked her. Of? cers went to Carter's home and ar? rested him M. was turned over to ft constable, but on th< way to jail eecaped. When It became known the negro wa? free, farmers of the neighborhood organised and an all-night search was made. The negro was not found. This afternoon Hlgley Henry^ a negro janitor, faced a strange negro riding under a box car near the Ok lahoma Central railway static n. With the aid of two other negroes, who had armed themselves, the ne*:rn jani? tor pulled Carter from beneath the ear. He wat< taken to the ma n str?-0t of Purcell, where a great crowd had gathered. "Turn the n<gro over to me." *aid ft tall farmer who suddenly seemed to assume command of the crowd The janitor and his two aides obeyed. Carter was taken across the street and In an Instant many men and boys were gatherelng brush and plac? ing It at his feet At this juncture Deputy Sheriff Haines and Under 8herlff Fatris ar? rived sad pleaded with the mob to xuru ?he prisoner to th?- n. The abgriff and his assistant wer? lor k?- i sjp end the negro wr?s led out and pinesd on sn oll-sosaed brush heap, ttollt around :i t leph ? lb was tied to u.e pole and the torch applied. Cheers came from the crowd as ths flames shot up sround the wtctlm. and men and women in motor ??ftre watched him die. As he was lashed to the pole, the negro shrieked for mercy. After the flames died down the crowd slowly disperseJ. The negro's body was burned to a crisp. I The negro's victim, who Is not ex? pected to live, said Carter entered her home last night and struck her on the head with a gas pipe, beating her until she was unconscious. An old mattress was torn up and scat? tered over her body. After the negTo had set the mattresa on tire he fled. As the woman was crawling from the fire the negro reappeared and sgsln struck her with the pipe, hresklng her jaw. Her husband, rushing to the house, rescued his wife, ur.nconnctous. In a few minutes more she would have been dead. The pile of wood and rrush on which the negro's body was burned was still smouldering at 10 o'clock to? night. The town was quiet. The cheers of the crowd, as the first flame* shot up mingled with the pierc? ing > rles of the negro, and after the fire had burned for an hour and the body was nothing but a crisp the crowd again cheered. Then ir. dis? persed. While fie majority of those who gathered shout to witness the black man's death were men. there were many women In the crowd. A remarkable feature about the af? fair was that while the crowd was de? termined on the death of the negro, it was far more uulet than Is usually un? der similar circumstance*. Not I shot was fired. The escape of the negro folb wing hi* first arrest seemed to add to the *ury of ?h,? ?. mhtrs for the dack nin.

Macadam. Koad Maker. It has botS Mid that the belt reads btlilt since the (lays of the Romans are those known as macadamised 11 uls. Macadam was a Scotchman who spent several years in America. On his return to his native land, to? ward the close of the eighteenth cen? tury, he devoted his attention to read huldtng. His leading principle was that i mad ought to he consider? ed as an artificial Mooring so strong and even as to let the heaviest ve? hicle pass over it without impedi? ment. People, began to hear with wonder Of roads thirty and forty feet whir rising only three inches in the centre, and he propounded the extraordinary heresy that a better and more lastiag road could be made over the surface gf a morass than over solid rock. Another of his principles was that the soil Is more resistant when dr> thin when wet. In order to keep It ir. s condition of the greatest re? sist mc??that is to say dry?he ad \??rated the putting over It of a wav? ering impervious to rain?the road, ig BgCt The thickness of this co.' e.ir.g was to be regarded In relation to :*m Impervlousness, and not at oil as to Its bearings of weights. Instead of digging a trench, there? fore, to do away with the surface of the native soil he carefully respected it and raised the road sufficiently above it to let the water run off. Impermeability he obtained by the practical discovery that stones brok |g small and shaken and pressed to? gether as by the traffic on a road rapidly settle down face to face and angle and make as close a mass as a wall. Mankind In gelneral now believes that this last Is ull that M i adam Invented] the rest is forgotten. That important frgyettOfl of his dlacOVerlCI Is what hns given to us the verb m macadamize, and <he ?"rench tho!r nouns macadam, m.icau.un..-.^. and the verb macadamlser. It was soon found that roads which were mere layers of broken stone, six, four and even as little as three inches in thickness passed through the w<?rst winters without breaking up, while, as the coachman used to say, they "ran true." Even In the breaking of stones Macadam effected a revolution. He saw that able bodied men standing up with heavy hammer* wasted the greater portion of their strength. He made his stone breakers sit. so that all the force of the bkaws took direct effeet on the stone; and the result was that he found small hammers did the work perfectly well, and thus was able to confine It to old men past hard labor, women and boys, which reduced the cost of the broken slone by one-half. The sfie to which the stone shou'd be broken he determined In a prac? tical way by the area of contact of an ordinary wheel with a smooth road. This he found to he ubout an Inch lengthwise, and therefore he laid li down that "stone which exceeds an Inch in any of its dimensions Is mis? chievous"?that is to say that the wheel In pressing on one end of it tends to lift the other end out of the road. In practice be found it simplest to fix a weight of six ounces, and hid BUrVeyON carried scales to test th'j largest BtonOl in each heap. Macadam would allow uo large stones even for 'he foundtion of 1?'* roads, and he found thai they coil antly worked upward t\ tbe pres? sure and vibration "f the traffic.

Many WltnoSOSI who were brought here today say they have been prac? tically held prisoners by the Chinees for months. They say they Were made alluring promises to induce them to uo to the place. Upon their arrival each ' purchased'' a mosquito bar and a mattress. for which they were charged exorbitant prices. Shortly after their arrival they dis? covered that their meagre rations of beans and rice was charged against their account. They worked all day in all sorts of weather up to their armpits in water, SSlning f?>r shrimp. Not enough were caught to square their accounts with their Chinese bosses, consequently hey worked only for their daily ra? tions. They were unable to buy pas? sage on passing boats, the captains refusing to take them aboard without money. Their bunkhousss, erected on piling over the water of the bay, were bare of the ordinary comforts. Surrounded by the waters of the bay they found escape impossible.
