A TKCHIMi AT WASHiMiTVN.
Tlie Taylo poisoner Strung up The
Negro Boston Taken From Jail at
Williamston Moaday Xij;ht by a Mop,
Carried to. Washington and lfauged
to a Sweet (Juin Tree. .
Washingtop, N. C, March 23.
Lasti night Jim Boston, colored,
was taken 'from the jail at
Williamston, whefe he had been
incarcerated for sale, keeping,
brought back within a mile of
this town and hanged to a sweet
gum tree. His body was found
dangling to. the treo limb early
this morning. Boston is the
negro who several days ago
placed poison in the coffee to
kill tho nurse at Dr. T Tayloe's
but iustead of tho poison reach
ing the old colored woman, Dr.
Tayloe and his family were all
poisoned and several members
of the ii nily came near dying!
It was only through prompt aid !
that the family were saved from
death. After Boston was ar
rested and placed in jail ho con
fessed the crime, but staled that
his aim was to make way with
the nurse. Fears of lynching
wTere circulated among our
citizens immediately after tho
crime and he was taken to the
jail in Williamston.
How the mob secured Boston
from tho iail in Williamston can
not be ascertained as com
munication between the two
towns has been cut off due to the
lynchers cutting tho wires.
There was considerable excite
ment when the lynching was
first learned, but now all is
quiet. '

JIovv It Happened.
The Standard man has been
beset with questions as to what
kind of wreck he has passod
through and it has been "flung
up" to him that if any of ihe rest
had had aconllagration the news
would have been read in the
Standard. Well, as a rule, we
doctors do not take our own
medicine, but lest somo one else
should lose a venerable mustache,
his eye brows and eyelashes and
a few patches of cuticle off his
face in the same way, the story
would better be told.
On last -Friday morning our
ollice fire refused to burn and we
put some chips into the heater
and poured some kerosene oil
over them (from an open vdssel
not an oil can mind you). There
being no blaze the oil persisted
in not burning but only smoul
dered while the occupants of the
office shivered. The writer lifted
the top and was in tho act of
reaching down into the heater
with a lighted match when the
hot gas ignited like powder and
he found his head in a flash of
flame with a splendid fry of mus
tache, eyebrows and oyelasUes.
This is'the story. Take it and
make the best of it, but 'remem
ber that beforethe oil got very
hot, matching it would have bee,
entirely safe, but after it irot hot
gun-powderVas no less danger
ous. 4
No harm was done to tle stove
and some claim that the victim
of tho accident is better looking,
since than before, which of
course is saying a good deal.
F0CL MURDER NEAR ELK IN'.
(11 Iris Body Found in Fund Crime to
Hide Crime.
The dead body of a jjirl was
discovered in a pond at Rhoda,
six miles from Elkin, on last
Sunday morning. The girl had
a number of bruises showing
that she had beou foully mur
dered and her condition furnishes
a clue to the purpose. There is
no very strong evidence as to
tho guilty party but it is hoped
that one will be found and that
her honor and her life may be
avenged.
