A north ern mob , led by a Virginian , burned a negro at the stake within a tow miles of Mason and Ulxon's line. The victim was George F. White , a negro , Just out of the workhouse , who was accused of having feloniously assaulted and Blabbed to death Mies Helen S. Bishop , the seventeen-year-old daughter of the Rev. P. A. Bishop. The crime of the negro was committed June 15 and ever since then there have been mutterIngs - Ings to lynch White. After much agitation on the port of those who cried for vcneganco , n mob , V estimated at 4,000 men and boys , gathered tn the neighborhood of Price's Corner. They came from everywhere , Including Wilmington nnd the small towns to the south of Price's Corner. Lack of a loader was supplied by a Virginian , whose identity could not bo learned. The police of "Wilmington and the con- etables tried to disperse the growing crowd , but without avail. It was evi dent that hundreds came from mere curiosity , Tnit once In the mob they became Inflamed with the spirit per vading the throng and then actlve'y joined it. The real leaders were few in number , but they did their work ( well. It was tifter 10 o'clock when the march to the workhouse , a mile away , was taken up. The chief warden of the workhouse and his guards , who have been on almost constant duty since the negro vras landed In the prison , had been warned of the coming of the mob and prepared to defend the man at all cost Armed with pistols , shotguns and other weapons , the mob sur rounded the workhouse. A battery of railroad ties soon carried away the great enter door of the workhouse. The eecond , ithlrd and fourth doors were battered .down by the forward leaders In the attacking party amid the yells and cheers of those who were press ing forward from the rear. Then the would-be lynchers were momentarily baited Ijy a hall of bullets from the Inaide. A great howl went up from the lenders , but they were pressed forward ! by those In the rear. More shooting was heard , and there was a scramble to get out , but the braver ones .stood their ground. In the fusil lade that followed four persons fen , all members of the mob. They were quickly carried to the rear and at tended .by those who were not brave enough .to bo at the front. None of them in the confusion could be identi fied except the boy , who is said to be Peter Smith. The warden did not wish to slaughter the mob in the prison corri dor , so .he directed that'the fire hose be .turned on the crowd. This also held the mob for a time , but not for long. 1A general rush was made and the .guards .were brushed aside and a man hunt .of the Jail was made. There Were 3nan.y negroes confined , but with the aid tof a man who knew White , he was quickly found. His cell door was tattered -open and the cowering and accused man , begging for mercy , was dragged ifrom the cell and the prison. When tthe crowd outside heard that euccess thad crowned the lynchers , a cheer was set up. Attempts were made to tihoot White on the spot , but the leaders of the crowd would have ziothlng 'hut ' his life at the stake. Resistance on the part of the negro was useless , but his hands were tied behind him. Then the march to the place of execution , just as though it were a. march to the gallows in a pris on , was begun. With torches to lead the way and with 4,000 persons follow ing the negro , he was led to the road. White was ghren a last chance to epeak , and confessed to the murder of the girl. A staVe had been arranged by an advance guard. White was quickly chained to the post and the dry underbrush , -soaked with oil , was ignited , and th horrible execution was on. White , suffering intense agony , fainted and his body hung limp. Shots were fired into bis body and the victim of tiie mob was soon dead. Satisfied with their night's work , the greater number of the lynch ers immediately left the neighborhood , many of them fearing arrest. The failure of the county court to give White a speedy trial is In a great measure responsible for the tragedy. Relief Work at Kansas City. Kansas City , June 23.
