HE DIES BY FIRE.
0PEA SEXT WEEK.
The Horrible Crime of Joseph
Leflore Is Horrloly Pun
: ished.
MemphTs, Tenn., October 2Q A
spjeeial to the Sctmetar, from,- Canton,
'Miss., says : ' '
"The little town of Saint Anne, 20
miles east of Canton, in Leak -county,
was last night the scene of a tragedy
.a sequel to the burning of the Gam
brel family the night before. Joe Le
flore, a negro, who was captured by a
posse, confessed that he, in company
with othe,r. jxgroea, had tied Mrs. Gam
brel and her four children to the -floor
of the. bouse, saturated the surround
ings with kerosene and burned them
alive. The negro after a confession of
the crime, was promptly roped to a
stake and burned to a crisp, while the
citizens looked on in silence.
"Another nero. Bob Smith, was
saved in the nick of time, as there was
doubt as to his guilt.
Tbe Gambrel tragedy occurred
Thursday morning and it was first
thought that the fire was the result of
an accident. A casual investigation
was made and it was soon established
beyond doubt that the family had been
murdered and the house fired.
' Posses were immediately formed to
scour the country and followed every
possible clue. Before the posses left
Saint Anne it was discovered that Joe
' Leflore, a negro who lived in the neigh
borhool,and who had heretofore borne
a good reputation had disappeared.
Early last evening Leflore was captured
several miles from the scene of the
murder. At first the murderer denied
any knowledge o
finally bioke down
the affair, but he
and confessed that
he and Bob and Andrew Smith, two
other negroes were guilty. He hoped
for no mery and told with a brutal
frankness all the details of the crime.
In the yard where the Gambrel resi
dence had stood Leflore was tied to
Stake and burned alive. No one sent a
merciful bullet into his body to kill
him. Andrew Smith escaped irom the
mob while Leflore was being burned,
and ha9 not been captured. Bob Smith
was tied to another stake and a fire
started, though he was finally released
as there was a possibility of his prov
ing bis innocence.
"Andrew Smith will be recaptured
and if it is proven that' he and his
brother Bob are guilty, it is thought
no power can save them from a similar
fate meted out to Leflore. .

Dan Packard and Ills Company Went
Through Sunday Sight to Win-ston.
Dan Packard and his opera company
went through last night to -Winston,
where they will play all this week,
coming to Greensboro to-night week
or an engagement of three nights.
Mr. Packard is well known in opera
circles throughout the country, having
played in Greensboro, his last engage
ment being with "Wang" when it first
went through en route South. He
says he has as fine a company as was
ever on the road and refers to the press
notices received from day to day, not
the stale and stereotyped write-ups of
professionals. '
In Danville Mr. Packard made a de
cided hit. This notice is from the
Register of Sunday morning and refers
to the last performance at that place : '
"The Dan Packard Opera Company
closed their three days' engagement at
the Academy of Music last night be
fore an audience which, although not
as large as the merits of the play and
players deserved, was nevertheless a
highly delighted and rao3t enthusias
tic one. "Said Pasha" was presented,
the first time before a Danville audi
ence, it is Drobably tne funniest, tne
most tuneful and altogether the best
opera in the company's repertoire, and
to say that those who were so fortunate
as to have been present last night thor
oughly and most heartily enjoyed it,
would seem to be a term of supereroga
jtion, in view of the frequent and en
tnusiasiic out Durst s ot applause wmcn
greeted the principal vocal numbers
and choruses.
"Whilst every character in the cast
enacted his or her part in a highly ar
tistic and excellent manner, it should
not be taken as an attempt to detract
anything from the merits of the others
by making special mention of the
splendid comedy work of Mr. Gilbert
Clayton as "Haddad, cn adventurer.
and Mr. Mountjoy Walker as "Nockey,
hid accomplice. These two were sim
ply inimitable in their respective roles.
and their every advent on the stage
was the signal tor an outburst of ap
plause from the delighted audience.
" 'The Chimes of Normandy was
presented at the matinee in an almost
faultless manner, before a large attend
ance, principally of ladies and chil
dren. ;
"The company opens a week's en
gagement at Winston-Salem Monday
night, and The Register takes pleasure
in assuring the , theatre-goers of the
twin cities that a rare treat is in store
for them."

FIFTY SPEECHES A WEEK.
Mr. Bryan More Than Filled
His Contract for 6 Speeches
a Day In Kentucky and Ohio.
Sandusky, Ohio, October 21. Col.
William J. Bryan tonight closed the
most remarkable week in his eventful
career of campaigning.
He was scheduled for six speeches
daily the first three days of the week
in Kentucky, and for the same num
ber the last three days in Ohio. He
has been continuously on a special
train since last Monday morning and
has made more than thirty-six speeches
on tne scneauie. in traveling thou
sands o! miles during the week, most
of the time at unusually high speed,
stops were made at various points not
on the schedule, and speeches were
made from the rear of the train, as
well as from platforms. He made over
fifty speeches during the week and
many more short talks at stations
along the' way. ' I
Bryan's closing day of the Kentucky
and Ohio week was the most active and
remarkable of all, especially in the
meetings at Fostoria, Bellevue, Clyde
and other points not on the program.
He started earlier thari on other days
and finished later at night, apparently
as vigorous after the last meeting as he
was last Monday morning j
He left late to-night for Chicago en
route to Nebraska 'and will spend the
last two weeks of the campaign in his
own State in a similar, mauner to his
canvasses in Kentucky and Ohio this
week. ' - - ' '
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Little Work Will Be Done Re
garding Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines.
Washington. Oct. 21 Congressman
Hopkins, of Illinois, who as a defeated
candidate for Speaker, and who. will
have a prominent position next ses
sion, says little of importance will J be
done during the coming session be
yond enacting a moderate bill of mon
etary reform. , y '
Congress will undertake little new
legislation. He believes Congress will
find information in regard to Cuba,
Porto Bico and the Philippines I so
meagre that it will be inadvisable to
undertake the formation of systems of
government for thoue island. At. pres
ent it will likely leave them in the
hands of the President, as military
control, wherewith he can experiment
with the administration of the islands
according to progress and events,whlch
will probably be more effective than
any hard and fast system that , Con
gress will be likely to adopt.

A MURDERER'S DASH
Edward C. Flanagan, The
Doomed Murderer of Three
Persons, Attempts Escape.
' Atlanta, GaM Oct. 21 Edward C.
Flanagan, the DeKalb murderer, broke
from his cell in the DeKalb county
jail this morning. As he dashed
through the door and past the guard
whp had the murderer's breakfast in
his hands, he snatched np the 2-year-old
baby of Sheriff Talley. Drawing a
long knife from his sleeve and clasping
the child to his half clad breast, the
prisoner fled down the jail stairway
toward the street and liberty. Down
one flight of steps and then through a
corridor leading to the sheriff's resi
dence, the only avenue of escape from
the prison, Flanagan sped, holding the
screaming child In bis left arm and
brandishing his knife in his right
hand. But for the presence of the
sheriff in the corridor, Flanagan would
have escaped. Sheriff Talley happened
to be in the room into which Flanagan
dashed. Mrs. Talley, the child's moth
er, was also in the room. The father
and mother simultaneously sprang
upon the escaping prisoner, Mrs. Tal
ley wielding a broom and the sheriff
clutching Flanagan by the neck. The
guard came running down the steps at
the eame instant in pursuit of the pris
oner and the three of them overpow
ered Flanagan and tore' the child from
his grasp. The sheriff then drove him
back up the steps and into the cell at
the point of his pistol. ; ..
Flanagan has been confined in the
DeKalb jail since laet February, await
ing a new trial on the charge of mur
dering Miss Ruth Slack, Mrs. Dixon
Allen, and attempting to murder Mr.
George W. Allen and inflicting iniuries
on the latter'a father, Dixon Allen,
irom which be afterwards died. H
has been sentenced to hang, but on .k
plea of lunacy he has been allowed re
peated trials.
