CIKCISVATI. Aug. NVw Richmond, iJ mile- up tin 1 Ohio river from Cincinnati, yt'stunkiy afternoon mob took Noah Amieivou, colored, from jail and him for the murder of Frank- liu Frldmnii, nearly 80 ycare old and president of the Kiret National bank of that place. Mr. Fridman was among the wealthiest men in Glerrnoiit county.

He owned a uumljer of farms and lived at Clcrmont- Uio, about two miles from New Klch- lond. He WHS driving into New Rich- shortly after noon, when he- stopped at one of his houses. Hitrhing his horse at the floor yuril, he v.vnt into un mijoin- Ing Held, whew he was suddenly attacked by Noah Anderson, a muscular ncRro, who had no weapon but his hands. With these ho quickly bore the aged banker to the earth, and then clutching his throat with the power of a demon he literally choked his victim to death. When satis- fled that tlic man was dead, Anderson fled.

Foon the prostrate man was borne to tho house and found to past all help. Ho was already dead. The news of the shocking crime traveled swiftly, for everybody knew Mr. Kridman It was not long until Anderson vcu? captured and taken to the New Kicliniond jail, where a great quickly gathered. Anderson made no attempt to concent his crime.

He gloatingly told nil the details and said he had given the old man wiuit he deserved. Said to Have Been Metnally Uniound. It is said that Anderson was not right in his mind, and ono of his hallucinations was that, Fridinnn had deprived him of a large sum of money. The truth is the two men had had no ilonliugs together, as Anderson cjime to New Hichmoad on ft shanty bunt only a few months ago and claimed to ho paperhanger. The crowd about tho jail soon became wildly excited.

As the negro's confession became known cries of "Lynch him!" the coward!" arose. A ropo was brought, and the end seemed near. Prom' inent citizens addressed the mob, imploring moderation. Anderson was in his cell on bis knees crying for mercy. The marshal, when a momentary lull eainc, attempted to take Anderson to a more secure jail nt Bntavia, the county scat.

No sooner did the man appear outside the Jail than the frenzied mob rushed at the marshal, and seizing the prisoner bore him quickly to the nearest tree, and in a brief time he was dead. There was no attempt at concealment. Every person present and engaged in the mob knew all the others. It was simply nu act of frenzy under most, aggravating circumstances.

How a Party of Yonng Men Disturbed Mt. Gretna A number of boystering young Leba nonians were having a "large" tini" at Mt. Gretna during several nights of this week, but they suddenly and unexpectedly came to grief. They had been in the habit of congregating in the catnp- meetinp grounds after the cottagers had retired for a night's rest when they awakened the slumbering echoes of tbe old hills by singing anJ such means as they could'employ to make noise. They awakened the sleepy cottagers, who were in any hut a pleasant frame of mind after being thus aroused from their sweet slumbers.

These young men in addition to the other disturbances they created tied a btrong cord to the dinner bell on the camp ground and by hiding in a clump of bushes could riiig the bell without being detected, the cord being so thin that it could not be seen at night. The terrible sounds evoked by the clanging of that bell in the dead hours of the night as they reverbrated through the mountains made the place seem hideous and as a natural consequence sleep was out of the question after that. To say that the cottagers were angry after such a performance is putting it very mildly and investigations were instituted to ascertain the names of the offenders, but without any success. i'hen Uliicer Sattazahn was put upon their tracks and before lona he traced the noise and disturbance to a party of young men from this city, and although they begged piteously to be allowed to escape he took them into custody and marched them to headquarters. There wasn't very much fun in this part of the program and all of the young meu promised faithfully to conduct themselves in a becoming manner if they would be set free, so that their names would not be made public.

This was finally agreed upon and last night was exceedingly quiet and orderly at Mt Gretna. Theaflair was to have been kept a profound secret, but as usual one of the ubiquitous NEWS reporters was close at hand and so without giving any names he gives the information for the benefit of the many readers of this paper.

On the way she was both coy and affectionate. Without. consulting him, she had: "Now, dear, after vou get a rest I'll return aud I'll let you take a pretty girl out to dinner. We shall be married tomorrow, and then we'll take a trip to Prince Edward Island." Mr. Muir didn't know whether Prince Edward Island was off the coast of Labrador or Africa, and hedidn't rare.

About 2 o'clock she came hack and took him to wiiui sue snid was Delmouico's, Uui it was the Colernan House. She ordered a dinner that made him stare. "I'm fall of business today," she ex-1 claimed.

"I've got plenty for both. I can't part with you now." darling, I must get from bank to pay a debt on my furniture."

PHILADELPHIA SHOE STOfiE, 738 Mnile by Clerk Kerr of the Water it Likely that the Qulrta- pahllla Will Have to Be Depended Upon Work done by tho Water Commissioner Theo.

P. Light and Clerk J. D. Kerr on Wednesday paid a visit to the supply dams and made a careful examination of tbe dams together with the quantity of water on hand and the approximate amount that may be counted upon until the dry season is over. Their visit was highly'satis- tactory, uiay be gathered from the 'acts giveu below as detailed to a representative of the NEWS by Clerk Kerr.

They found dam No. 1 very low, showing only about six or eight inches of water above the main and arranged to have the supply drawn from No. 3. The water in this dam has fallen about six or seven feet below the waste weir, but as it is large and holds a large supply of water it is estimated that the present supplv in the dam together with what will flow into it will supply the city for at least three weeks, or until the middle of September. Dam No.

2 is overflowing and this, together with what will be drawn from the No. 3 dam, will furnish sufficient water to run over the dry season, especially if the water is properly husbanded. Of course, it must not be unnecessarily wasted, as too often is the case. Fortunately, too, the water in dam No. 2 is fresh and ure, free from nil taint, although it will remembered that last year it was scarcely fit for use.

The stream flowing into dam No. 3 is rather strong for this season of the year and a good stream is constantly flowing into tiie No. 2 dam. This ia certainly very encouraging and from present appearances no one need fear that we will have to depend upon Quittapahilla water for our supply this year. It is particularly remarkable that our water supplv holds out so well when it is remembered that we have a very severe drought this summer, when many places have had water famines, and we'lls that scarcely ever went dry have ceased to flow this season.

This in a ereat measure is due to the vigilance and watchfulness of the water board. Already last spring they took steps to prevent the unnecessary waste of water and that thev have been successful is attested to by the fact that there is still an abundance of water to draw from, whereas ordinarily the supply would have been exhausted by this time. They began by instructing Superintendent Sherk to canvas the city nnd make a thorough investigation as to the condition of hydrants and spigots. Wherever leaks were discovered, and they were numerous, the property owners wete notified to have the repairs mended at once. At first such notices went unheeded, but after the water had been stopped off several times, the leaks were speedily repaired and after that there was little trouble.

It is estimated that, before the superintendent began his investigation fully 25 per cent of the hy- tM-a were leaking and the water thug wasted away, without be ng a bt-urii, any ijcitsup, was at the rate of about a million gallons a year. Besides stopping the leaking hydrants about 75 new meters were put in at places where considerable water is used and these aided very materially in saving witter. This is the expenence everywhere. Several years aao tbe Harris- authorities discovered that large quantities of water were being wasted and they introduced many new meters. At OUCB a change was perceptible.

The same was the case in this city. Although there has been a far more severe drought this year than last yet there is as much water on hand now as there was a year ago at this time, and last year the water board was not required to pump any water to supply the city. We have now about passed the dog days, the nights are getting considerably loiijrer and cooler, so that there is not so much evaporation of as in midsummer, and the water of the supply daius is excellent condition. This is certainly a very cheering report coining from the water department and a cause for congratulation. It is not at all likely that any creek water will need to be pumped this year, and for this everybody is thankful.

"The members of the board are assuredly deserving of ranch praise for the skill" and carefulness they have exhibited in managing the affairs of the water department and in huslmndingthe water so as to give us constantly a good and sufficient supply.

For a long time people who live in the vicinity of Seventh and Cumberland streets aud up Cumberland to Eighth have been making complaints about the hoodlums that render hideous and run the street to suit themselves after midnight, sometimes keeping up the noise as late as -t o'clock. They keep everyone one within hearing awake with their shouts and blasphemous curses and the people who have to go to work early in the morning are ready for something desecrate if means are not taken to suppress the nightly uproar. If the police are not able to cope with the growing evil other steps will be taken by the indignant citizens to have it stopped.

This will not be difficult, as the names of the. various "gangs" arc known and warrants are easy to procure. Delivery Wagon Breaks.
