LYNCHING IX MARYLAND,
Xegro Who Killed Policeman Shot

Cumberland, Md., Oct. o.— The first lynching
In the history of Cumberland, which took place
at an early hour thie morning-, hap been the topic
of penera] discussion, thouprh scarcely of • ■■!.-
A* -"".nation, to-day.
The shooting of Policeman AußU^t Raker on
Thursday nlpht by William Burns, a negro des
perado* while the latter was resisting arrest,
created much excitement, owing to the excellent
reputation of the officer and his well known
kindly disposition. His death on Haturday
morning uas followed by threats against th-j
regro. these coming as much from those of hi.s
own race as from the whites. Few, however,
seem to have thought a lynching possible, and
the police paid no attention to the rumors that
were afloat.
Only Deputy Sheriff Adam Hendley was at the
jail when, after midnight, a crowd of less than
one hundred men. a few of whom were disguised
Jn one way or another, appeared and demanded
the keys. These being refused, a telegraph pole
was used as a battering ram and entrance to
the building was forced. Other negroes in
neighboring cells were careful to guide the
lynchers to that of Burns, and there again the
battering ram was used. The lynchers found
their victim crouched behind his cot and. seizing
him by the feet, dragged him up and down stairs
Jnto the street, where, within a. few yards of the
entrance to the Jail, Burns was kicked and shot
to death.
The Rev. W*. Cleveland Hick*, an Episcopal
<Jergyman, did his best to save the negro, and
afterward protected the body until the arrival
on the scene of Judge A. Hunter Boyd and the
Police. Judge Boyd called on the crowd to dis
perse, and In this was promptly obeyed. The
bouy was removed to an undertaking establlah-
I'itr.t. Ten thousand persons are estimated to
have viewed it to-day.

Plttsburg. Oct. 6.— The Pressed Steel Car Com
pany during the last week has dispensed with the
services of fly» thousand of Its twelve thousand
employes. Some were laid off Wednesday and the
others last night. As a result, the plant at Wood's
Run, instead of turning out ninety-nix eteel ears
each day, will produce only nineteen.
The present unsettled condition of the railroads
is responsible for laying off the workmen. Many
contracta have been cancelled, while In otber«in
stances the rallroada are holding back specifica
tions on cars that have been ordered, and which
cannot be built unlil the specifications are given.
Most of the foreigners thus thrown out of em

against the Western Union and Postal companies
has taken a new turn When Small was h< re last
he was In harmony with the leal strike leader?.
but now there are differences of opinion between
them, especially in regard to calling out the leased
wiro operators by local No. 18. on Wednesday.
Small attended a special meeting ••'. local No. 1<!

nor any of the other national officers would sanc

every local throagbout the country.
The officers of the union wen not Inclined to talk
much after the meeting. President Small, beyond
Baying thai he would veto the strike if It went Into
effe<\t. would talk no more, about tho leased wire
men. He said that the publicity given to the visit*
of Thomas and Russell to President-Roosevelt In
Oyster Bay and of ICahan and Dougluss to United
States Labor Commissioner Nclll at Washington,
which happened at the same time, had done harm.
It looked as if the two delegations bad crossed
fingers in the eyes of the public.
It was officially announced by the telegraphers
yesterday that 16,000 messenger boys in this city
will k<> out on strike. The order, it Is understood,
comes from Chicago, and it Is to go into effect to

demand ••■'> eight-hour day, two and a naif cents a
message, free uniforms and extra pay for Sunday
work.
It la understood that this strike has been In con
templation for several weeks, but it was decided by
tho officials not to take any definite action until
