Walter Allen, a negro charged with criminally assaulting Miss Blossom Adamson, a 15-year-old girl, in this city Monday afternoon, was taken from the jail Tuesday night by 4,000 people, who battered clown the prison doors and hanged him to an electric light pole in the principal portion of the city. A volley was fired afterward and fully a thousand bullets entered the negro's body. Miss Adamson was on her way to a dressmaker's late Monday afternoon when she was met by Allen, who told her that a dressmaker at a designated residence was waiting to see her.

The young girl went to the house mentioned by the negro, who followed her into the house, which Miss Adamson found was vacant. A lady on a nearby porch, attracted by the noiseof the struggle, succeeded in frightening Allen away and he escaped. Late Tuesday afternoon he was captured and brought to this city and placed in jail. As soon as the news of his capture was learned a mob formed and marched to the jail, demanding the negro. The sheriff refused to deliver the keys and pleaded that the law should be allowed to take its course.

Upon the sheriff's refusal of thekevs tne door was lorced open with sledge hammers and the steel cage of Allen's cell broken in. The negro was carried a square and a half away and allowed to make a statement. Allen declared that he was innocent and prayed that the guilty party would be found. All the men who took part in the hanging were unmasked. Miss Adamson belongs to one of the most prominent families in Rome.

PRIESTWRITES A PLAY. Rev. Job a Talbot Smith, of New York City, Produces an Historical Drama for Miss Crosman. Henrietta Crosman is to produce an historical drama written by Rev. John Talbot Smith, a Catholic clergyman of New York city.

It is a five-act, five-scene play, entitled "A Baltimore Marriage," dealing with the troubled history of Elizabeth Patterson, the Baltimore girl who became the wife of Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon in It 03, and whose marriage was annulled by Napoleon two years later. The scene is laid in France and brings on the stage Napoleon, the pope, Cardinal Consalvi, his brother, the farifbus Fouche, minister of police, and Mme. Patterson-Bonaparte. Beside the fact that its author is a Catholic priest, another unusual thing about the play is the introduction of the pope as one of the leading characters. This is the first time the pope has appeared in the Ecfrlish drama, it is said.

SPORTSMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS. llte a Hasibrr Wks Hit Sella-aUhed the Can Takes l' the Camera. In a recent book a hunter tells how he spent many weary months in the attempt to shoot an eagle, and at last ambushed so successfully that he actually touched the bird with his fingers. Having got so far he was content and let the eagle go free. It may be a hunter's tale; but there are at present a very considerable number of sportsmen who are a great deal keener to Fee their game at close quarters than to kill it, says the London Globe.

Instead of the old phrase: "Let us go and kill something," the hunter now says: "Let us go and focus something." The camera has supplanted the gun. There are now made all manner of devices, more Ingenious and intricate even than the older trappers devised, for getting the camera to bear on unsuspecting ani mals. A boat, resembling a little the duck snooting boats used on the Irish coast, has been devised, which is propelled without oars" or sails, and has a beautiful photographic apparatus rigged up In the bows. There are other not less clever means for approacihng and photographing deer iu their native haunts and they have been used with altogether remarkable success. Humanitarians are already pointing out that this sport with the camera gives all the excitement of the chase without any of the cruelty; and at least this much may be conceded, that the o.f photographing, say, a weasel are considerably greater and therefor more attract ive than those, of shooting it.

A Macfc-Dvalred Poaitloa. The scramble to be apostolic delegate at Washington oontinues, says a dispatch from Rome to the New York Tribune, as it is equal to the four largest European nunciatures, the occupants of which only leave their offices to become cardinals. Among the many candidates to succeed Archbishop Martinelli, it is now confirmed on the highest authority that Mgr. will be chosen. Aa the pope was eceiving Most Rev.

L. rv. Begin, the archbishop of Quebec, he is quoted as having said: The apostolic delegate at Ottawa will soofl leave you, but will stay oa your aide of the world, going to YTajgttiogtoa." A MAYOR TUESDAY wins Over S. J. Murphy, by Majority of Over Two Hun- dred Votes.

Bright Tells School Teachers It la Wleked to "Wear Song- tera on Their Hats. "The most wicked act that can be committed is the killing of birds for the decoration of women's hats," declared Orville T. Bright, county superintendent of schools, of Cook county, 111., before a meeting of tha Cook County Teachers' association. "Women in the great majority of things are very humane, but by accepting hats with birds upon them they do not seem to know that they are aiding in the destruction of these living creatures of beauty," said Superintendent Bright. "In Boston recently one firm received a consignment of 30,000 bird? from tha south for the decoration women's hats.

The children s' be educated to resent the killing of birds. Tbe bird goes on the hat. ut the sonjr does not go with it."

John McIIugh, for many years a resident of the west side, who was very well known in marine circles here for some years was almost instantly killed by being hit by a freight car about 6:30 o'clock Tuesday night at the Dousman street crossing.

Mr. McIIugh was returning to his boarding bouse on the west side and Flagman Patrick Cleary crossed the track and signaled him and others to keep back. McIIugh, however, gave no heed to the signals and started to go across the tracks. Flagman Cleary states that he then took hold of McIIugh and endeavored to hold him back until the train could goby but that McIIugh took his lantern from him and broke away to cross in front of the train, then but a few feet distant. Mr.

Cleary says that in order to save himself he jump'ed back and supposed that McIIugh had crossed safely, until he started for the flag man 8 shanty when he found him (McIIugh) lying just where the street car and railroad tracks cross. He was dead when found, his head crushed beyond recognition and his arms badly mangled. It seems that McIIugh must have crossed or nearly crossed the track when he was struck by the train of freight cars coming from the north ana thrown with his head and arms just across the track. The lantern was completely demolished. The body was removed to Olden burg's undertaking parlors on West Walnut, where it remained until after the inquest, and then be taken to the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs.

Terry McIIugh, 826 Doty street. Deceased was about 50 years old. Flagman Cleary stated to a Gazette representative next morning that he narrowly escaped sharing the fate of McIIugh, endeavoring to keep him from crossing the track. THE CITY IN BRIEF.

During the present month all net fishing of any variety and for any kind offish is prohibited in the waters of Green bav.and this law will be enforced to the letter if Special Game Warden Will Haslem keeps his word. In the past it is Buid that the law regulating the fishing during the present month has been rather laxly regarded by the fishermen The object of the law is to protect the fish during the spawning season, thus giving them a chance to multiply, and in this manner keep the bay stocked with them.

The little fishing which is done with lines i not calculated to do any great damage, or molest the fish to any extent. In speaking of the law Mr. Haslem said; ''It is probable that during tbe month of April there wiJl be more or less trouble with the fishermen and frequent arrests will probably be made. The law is specific on the point of net fishing of any variety and shall be enforced if it is a possibility, and I think it is. Only a few arrests have been made lately, although there are fisher men who insist in attempting to break the law providing for up river fishing." BASEBALL WAR ENDS.

Spalding Glvea I'p Claim to National League Presidency William Temple to lie Chosen. New York, April 3. The National league baseball war is practically ended. A. G.

Spalding has resigned his claim as chief executive of the big organization and the office will be tendered to William G. Temple, of Pittsburgh There will be no furthercontest in the courts. Mr. Spalding's letter of resignation was presented to the magnates at the second day's session of the peace conference at the Fifth Avenue hotel. The letter was presented by James Ilart, president of the Chicago club.

Mr. Temple was at one time owner of the Pittsburg club and is a man of large means. It was he who donated tlie Temple cups to be played for by the clubs finishing first and second at the end of tke league season. He is known as a lover of the sport, but it is felt here that he may possibly decline the honor tendered him because the league has decided to establish its permanent headquarters in New York, and he, being a business man, may not find It possible to spend all his time here. It has also been decided to make the offices of president and secretary-treasurer separate.

The latter office will, according to the best information, be tendered to E. Voung. WILL MEET AGAIN THIS MORNING Louisville, Kyi, April 3. The movement for the formation of an allied party comprising adherents of all parties opposed to the republicans and democrats, or, as the call for the meeting stated, "a union of reform forces against plutocracy," took definitive shape" afternoon when a conveion attended by about 200 delegates, representing eight states and as many different parties, was called to order at Liederkranz hall in this city. The work Wednesday was of a preliminary nature, a temporary organisation being effected and committees appointed to prepare for the permanent organization.

The convention adjourned at 4:30 o'clock p. m.tomeet again this morning. Later in the day other delegates arrived, and when the convention is railed to order this morning, 30 States will be represented. It has developed, however, that the national organizations of only three parties, the people's party, the direct legislation or Referendum league and the public ownership or Union Labor Reform league of St. Louis, will tie represented in the convention by delegates who have plenary powers.

Four states. Iowa. Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas have allied delegations, but they have authority to fpeak onlv for their own states and the convention to-day, it is stated, will be dominated by the people's party, and the name of that organi-7ation will probably be adopted. The platform which will be recommended by the platform committee will be practically the same as that adopted in Kansas City last year when the call for the allied party convention was made. Firat Jostice to Wear Gowa.

"Few. people, I venture to say, even in high official positions, know what justice first wore the gown in the supreme court of the United States," said Hannis Taylor, ex-minister to Spain, who is a recognized authority among writers of law books, being the author of two "The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and "International Republic Law." "When Justice John Jay took the office he thought the members of the supreme bench should wear a gown of some sort. Accordingly he appeared in his own academic gown, which he wore by virtue of having received a degree from the University of Dublin, or, as it was then known, "Trinity College." It was a tri-colored gown, too. Such a garment would look peculiar now, since the black gown has Veea adopted." Washington Post. rrranK Mi "TTay fla they call thorn asked Mrs.
