The brutal murder of Mr. and Mrs. It. T. Taliaferro, on tho night of July 30, led tonight to tho lynching of lletsle McCrny, . her son, llelfleld McCray, and daughter," Ida McOray, all colored. ' .;, Tho mob was composed of about C00 whlto citizens of Carroll county, who mnrched to the Jail In order, demanded tho keys from Jailer nuke, proceeded to tbo cells of tho negroes, bound them by tho neck and hands and currlpd them to tho corporate limits of the town, where they hanged them to n treo by tho public road side and riddled their bodies with bullets. Tho mob resisted tho earnest appeals of Judge W. F. Stephens and W. II. II tit. who stood on the steps of tho Jail and appealed to them In tbo name of law and order. They even followed the mob to the cell doors with their arms around tho necks ot tho leaders, pleading with them to lot tho law take Its course, but with no effect. Ida McCray confessed knowlcdgo of tbo murder and stated that her mother Hctste and her brother Uolflcld helped commit the crime. She further Implicated others, who will probably meet n like fate.

Tho Peter Cooper club had a tempest In a teapot at Its meeting In Washington hall last night, all because John O. Yolscr per sisted In airing his pet vlows on tho gov ernorship vacancy question In opposition to tho wishes of the members, who were already tired from unloading hot air and desired to adjourn. He became very angry at repeated Interruptions and refused to play politics with his follow populists any longer. The situation looked equally for a time, but tho matter was finally smoothed over and the doughty Yelser expounded his views. After n longthy discussion, which ranged all tho way from acrimonious to ridiculous, Yclser's uncorked eloquence proved convincing and the, iollowliiR reso lution was adopted with but, one dissent ing vote: i , Resolved, That tho Peter Cooper club rec ommends to tho state committee of the pco plu's Independent party nt Its next meeting Unit n thnrmiuh examination of tho (men tion whether thcru is such u vacancy or dis ability In tho ottlce of the governor of tho state ot NcbniKku as will Justify h nomina tion to tins otnee in mp-next mate eonvciv tlon of the nartv and.

A representative ot what Is left of the silver republican party reported that the remnant had no placo to lay Its political head. It was necessary under present con ditions, ho said, to go back Into tho old republican party or be driven into tho ranks ot the socialists. Either alternative was repugnant to blm and bis brother pa triots and as previous Invitations to bo swallowed by tho Jacksanlans and also by tho Douglas county democracy bad been scornfully spurned ho desired to bring about nn amalgamation of tho truo reform forces. It was a fond dream of bis that the silver republicans, the populists and other reformers woiild be flrmly united Into ono great and grand party, with the peer less William Jennings Urynn to' lead It to victory In 1001. This proposition Bcecmed to strike tho Coopcrltes favorably, for at tbo end ot a two-hour discussion, tn which all phases of tho question wero touched upon, It was decided to Invite tho sliver re publicans to meet with tho club and dis cuss the proposed amalgamation. Tho all-important question of finance was brought up by tho report ot a com mtttco which had been engaged in trying to raise Douglas county's J 300 deficiency assessment due tho state populist commit tee. Tho committee reported a total of $5.50 subscribed to date nnd asked for more time. A warm discussion ensued, In which every populist who had even held or ex pected to bold an olllce waa throughly roasted for not coming to tho front with a liberal donation. Two members were added to tho committee, with Instructions to call upon democratic office-holders for their pro rata and to make a strong shake down among tho county employes.

A wholesnle Jail delivery of mur derers, burglars, lnrcrulsts and other criminals Is threatened under the decision and Honolulu Is greatly disturbed over the prospects. Tho decision wns given under the recent Insular decisions of the United States su premo court nnd upon tho clauso In the Nowland's resolution which stated that nil municipal legislation ot tho Hawaiian Islands not inconsistent with tho constitu tion should "temaln In force." Judge Oear held that this meant that laws that were Inconsistent with the constitution should not remain In force nnd that, therefore, tho constitution of the United States extended to Hawaii Immediately on the signing- ot tho Newland's resolution by the president. Attorney General Dole is mnklng a vlg orbuA fight hgalnst tho decision nnd Is try ing to get the matter before the supremo emftt. t'Ho"'cona,nds that the constitution does not apply to Hawaii by virtue of the Newland's resolution'1 ot the flag raising.

CORN KING JS DETHRONED Drokcr Phillip Trniil"er HU Trmle unit Clune HI Olllce. CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Board of Trade nnd business circles generally were startled to day by tho announcement thnt tho George, H. Phillips company, which became famous through Its pool operations In the Chicago corn pit during tho last year, hnd trans fcrrcd nil Its open trades to AIcReynolds & Co. It was at first rumored that a largo defalcation has been discovered In an ex nmlnatlon ot tho books, but this proved un true, having Its only foundation In the fuct that ono of the head bookkeepers wns con fined to his home by Illness. Lock of facilities for tbo proper clerical needs of the concorn, which hnd acquired an enormous commission trade, was", according to a statement given 'the Associated Press by Attorney John S. Goodwin, who, as a representative of tho law firm' of Blnck" & Goodvyln, lias, taken charge of thb company's nnarcnl some tlnto lrco whcti't6''Bortrd''of Trade directors ruled that thb 'Phillips company should turnlBh 'to each nimttr.it UiolM.-w-rriOffJ ii.de' tailed account of the .entire transaction large fotce was then put to work on thu books, and In their efforts to, disentangle tho multitudinous trades It became appar ent that every trade on , the, .company's books since November, 1900, would have to be checked over, entailing an enormous amount of work. As the firm's business kept tn creasing at a remarkable rate the machinery of the houso was found Inadequate, and at midnight July SI It was decided' to simply trnnsfor' nil trades and for the time being throw the business of the bouse Into other hands until a complete now set of books shall hnvo been compiled. Mr. Phillips, whllo regretting the necessity of this course, said It wan tho only plan open to him. "This does not mean we nro quitting bust ness," he Bald. "On the contrary we Bhall exocutb al orders, but shall havo to ask that usual margins' nccompany all orders until our books are checked over." Following is a statement given tho Asso ciated Press by Attorney Goodwin for Air, Phllllpa: "Tho company was incorporated In November, 1800, with a capital ot $30,000. The business grew so rapidly that in tho 'spring the capital was Increased to $250,000, and with that Increase business came In so that the office forco was simply over .vhelmed. , "Wo havo boen doing the largest com mission buslncflb ot any bouse In tho world, but It had recently come to tho attention ot the firm that the records of tho transac tions' v.ero not being kept in the proper shfa pe for such deals. About a week ago expert accountants wero put on tho books I have gone over the legal end of tho firm's affairs and found It absolutely correct. The oxpert accountants found that It would be absolutely necessary to make a now ect of books dating from January 1, 1S00, and checking every Item of tho Immense busl ness. Thn eirors were apparently mado without partiality, credits being debited and vice versa. But up to 4 p, m. yesterday, after a weok's work und ufter all errors had been corrected up to that tlmo, the books showed the 11 nn to be absolutely sol vont, On my ndvlce they cut off, howover, all old business at midnight last night the ! last day of the month, nnd transferred all their open trades to McReynolds, nnd ovrfry trade of the house Is protected and every trade mado yesterday was made at n profit for tbo custnmors. Wo aro sending out a circular asking all our customers to send us a statement of their claims agulnst the conlpuny, bo that we may havo them audited and uso them in preparing' a new set ot books, with the expectation that uplest something happens, which does not seem probable, we shull take care of every claim and proceed with tho business as heretofore "The nccountant so far has found no evi dence, whatever of criminal Irregularity, Wit simply, mistakes duo to tho Immenso amount of business handled with Inadequato facili ties, for caring therefor."
