AUTHOR OF "AMERICA" DEAD,
The Venerable Dr. Smith Stricken In a
Railway Station at Koston. . . ;
I Boston, Nov. 18 --Rev. Dr. Samuel F.
Smith, the venerable author of the famous
hymn, "America," beginning, "My coun
try, 'tis of thee," died suddenly here Sat-
1 urday evening, in his 86th year. Rev. Dr.
' Smith was on his way to Readville, where
. 1EV. BR. SAMUEL F. SMITH
he was to address a meeting, and was
taken ill at the New York and New Eng
land depot. He was removed to' the Emer
gency hospital, where he died.
Rev. Dr. Smith was ordained a Baptist
minister Jh 1834, and became professor cf
languages at Waterville academy, now
Colby university, at Watervilic, Me. He
returned to Boston in 1812 and edited The
Christian Review, a leading Baptist organ.
Soon after this, however, he gave up the
editorial chair and for several years was
pastor of the First Baptist church at New
ton. Following this he was the editorial
secretary of the Missionary union.
j Constable Killed by a Desperado.
Wheeling, Nov. 18. A terrible tragedy
j occurred at Wileyyille, Wetzel county, W.
Va., twelve miles from New Martinsville,
tlje county seat. Last summer John
j White was arrested and convicted of rob
i bing freight cars at Hundred, on the Bal-
timore and Ohio road, and in August he
j escaped from the county jail at New Martinsville-:
Yesterdav afternoon Conntv
Constable Newt Fiirbpfilp.impri that, Whit
had been seen about Wilewille and went
after his man. When Fur bee attenuated
to make the arrest White whipped out a
revolver and killed the constable at the
first shot. Several persons, among them
James Baird and John Hibbs, attempted
to overpower the murderer. White, who
was now thoroughly aroused, pumped cold
lead into them without hesitation, bring
ing down Hibbs with a wound in the
stomach, from which he will likely not re
cover, and shootiner Baird in the lee. This
intimidated the others, and White made
his escape.

The 31'.i"o TlroTte Thro-jiglx the Jail Doors
V ' with Sledges and Crowbars, and the

Taken from an Electric Lamp.
FREETzr.rcK. Md., Nov. IS. James Go
ings, who izr. nltecl Miss Lillie Jones,at
the homo of Hamilton Geisbert, near, this
city, Saturday night, was taken from the
jail by a mob of 300 men yesterday morn
ing 'and hung to a tree in a field on the
Jefferson turnpike, one mile from the city
- A report . reached the city about mid
night, that the woman had died from the
cut& and heating inflicted by the negro,
andnthis infuriated the men, who had been
gathering in the streets and discussing the
outrage. ' '
A mob was quickly gotten together, and
unmasked, but armed with revolvers, the
men marched, to the jail. ' They had pre
viously broken into.a machine shop in the j
neighbor hiKd oc the jail and procured
sledges, crowbars and lib's. They made at
once for rh fyo? on the west wing of the
jail,' and h
rruil 10 batter upon it. Full'v

id
i his deputies, but the mob paijl no atton- j
i.tion to them, and went on wijth their r
1 work. The jail. bell, was'' runjr' to summon
j assistance, but none came. '
In twenty minutes the large door panels
; gave way under the heavy blows, and the
mob burst into the corridor. They quickly
overcame the slight resistance the officers
on the inside were able to offer, and found
the cell in which Goings, cowering and
crying, was confined.
The lock was opened, the bolt swung
back, and the trembling wretch seized and
dragged out in his night clothes and stock
ing feet. In the meantime the friends of
the lynchers on the outside had lowered an
electric lamp near 4the jail and cut the
rope from it, extinguishing the light.
Goings was led out amid the howls 'of
the crowd, the rope placed around him,
and he was hurried down the road t6 his
place of doom.. He protested his innocence
as they dragged him along, and begged
them not to kill him. He was promptly
recognized. by a number of men who knew,
him, and tho.jnob did not hesitate in its
work.
Arriving at the tree, . the negro was
asked to confess, but this he would not do.
Two officers of the Salvation Army asked
to be allowed to pray with them, and their
request was granted. The Lord's prayer
was then repeated, and the negro and
most of the c- o vd joined in.
Going's feet and hands '"were then tied
and the ropo- w.i 3 drawn around his neck.4.
A man seized the oth-ar end of it, climbed
the tree and throw tha cord over a limb.'
"Let him g.. ' was shouted, and quick as
a flash he wa jerked from his feet and
hung dangling in the air six feet from the
ground. U:k' siios was tired into his bodyfc
and in a few minutes he was dead. The
mob during th.' process of lynching ob
served order. Non.) were allowed to fire
at him except the vne.
A member of the mob made, a brief
speech, in which he . said that they were
there with the unfortunate wretch not in
.a spirit of malice, but to make an example
of him, and teach his race that they must
let the women of Frederick county alone
After watching the body swing in the
air a few minutes the crowd left, it dang
ling there and dispersed.
: The assault for which Goings suffered
death was a cruel and dastardly one. Miss
Jones has thirteen cuts and stab wounds
on her body-where he hacked at her with a
knife and razor. She says he asked her for
something to eat, and, when she gave it to
him he said i "I will give you a dollar."
She screamed and ran about fifty feet
down the garden, where he overtook her,
knocked her down and cut her, also crush
ing her nose.
The field in which the negro was lynched
is the same spot the negro Biggns was
lynched on in November, 1887.
A Priest's -Wonderful Ride.
Wichita, Kan., Nov. 16. Father John
Begloy, a pioneer priest stationed at King
man, this state, has just made one of the
most wonderful ride3 on record. Mrs.,
Quin lan, of New York, was dying on the
ranch of her;.t;i in the wilds of the Pan
Handle of Tc:las, and Father Begley was
sent for to give .her the consolation of re
ligion. The ''distance '-was 310 miles, of
which 160 was overland. Six relays of
horses had been arranged for him by the
ranchmen en route from the end of the
railroad at Englewood, Kan. He rode the
entire 160 miles in twenty-one hours and
thirty minutes, and arrived at the ranch
five hours before she became unconscious.
He ate nothing during the trip, and took
only one, drin of water.

Her Iuliuence Over the Czar.
St; Petersburg, Nov. 16. The ac
couchement of the czarina occurred last
evening. At & o'clock a daughter was
born to the czar and czarina. Court phy-
; si cians in attendance at the accouchement
of the czarina report the child to be a
handsome girl, and they add that the
mother is rapidly recovering. Services
connected with the birth of the infant
were held in accordance with the rites of
the Orthodox Greek church. The baby
has been named. Olga.
The czarina (Grand Duchess Alexandra
. Feodorovna) was born at Darmstadt,IIes.?e,'
June 6, lh'7.2. She was the Princess Alix
Victoria Helen Louise Beatrice-of Hesse.
and was married to Czar Nicholas II. on
Nov. 2. 1894. In accordance with the laws
of Rusf.'a, r.-nd1)y manifesto issued by Czar
Nicholas on Oct. 21 (old .style),. 181)1 sho
'was 'renamed Alexandra Feud nvna, and
received the title of grand ducli'03.5 and im

.penal highness. ...
Princess Alix war. the daughter of Grand
Duke Louis IV, of Hes:;o, and oc .Alice,
princess of 'vireat Britain and . Ireland,
third child and second daughter of Queen
Victoria. Her brother is the present grand
duke of Hesse; her sister IreDe is the wife j
of Prince Henry of Prussia: another sister,
Princess Elizabeth, is the wife of Grand j
Duke Sergius of Russia, and her oldest -sister
is the wife of Prince Louis of Batten- j
. burg. ' .;. ' . : ,;. .; . ..- I
: Yriien Princess Alix was but 12 years of !
age, and while in! attendance at the we4- j
ding of her sister Elizabeth, she met Nich- J
olasj then grand duke, who was in his' lOth
ye?r. . The children 'became attached to !
each other,. but the ezarowitz's affection j
for the princess wa3 diverted for some
time. Six years later her father made a
visit to the Russian court, accompanied
by Princess Alix, and her presence in the
Russian capitol was" the means of renew
ing their liking for each other, but as the
princess was then an ardent Lutheran the
question of having to become a member
of the Orthodox Greek , church had to be
considered.
O wing to the ill health and subsequent
death of the czar, Alexander III. the mar
riage of Princess Alix and Nicholas was
hastened. Concessions, such as were
never before secured, in embracing the Or
thodox faith, were obtained from the Holy
Synod. The princess was not required to
declare her former religion to be accursed,
nor that her conversion was due to the
conviction that the truth lies not with her
own, but with the Russian church. The
Holy Synod was satisfied with the simple
declaration that the princess joined the
Greek church in order to be of the same re
ligion as her husband.
How 'Philadelphia Is Kobbed.
Philadelphia. Nov. 14. The senate in
vestigating committee, after three day's
sessions, adjourned yesterday until' Nov.
21. The investigation thus far has dis- j
closed much dishonesty in city contracts.
It was shown that the streets have been
1 paved in an inferior manner, though pay- .
ing for superior work, and m this way j
alone was robbed of over $400,000 in1893
and 1894. Though the city paid for incin
erating garbage, much of it has been sold
as food for hogs. It was also shown that
only half the number of men called for by
contracts to keep the streets clean were in
reality employed, though the city paid for
the full number.
