ratified to invoke the principle established
ia the Lange cases S5 U. S., 163), on the

impose only a fine or imprisonment, not
both.

therefore dismissed the writ.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 Before a crowded

followers of the ring that he is still a
clever fighter. Choynski mef Australian
Jimmy Ryan in what was to have been a
twenty-five round bout at catch weights,
but he accomplished the trick and knocked
Ryan out in the seventh round with a se
ries of rights. The fight, while not a good
one. was interesting, for Ryan at times
came near doing damage with some well
aimed swings, but otherwise he was out
classed. Choynski surprised many by his
form. He is stil! a hard puncher, and hia
generalship is superb. Joe now says he is
in line to fight any of the big men, and

MEMPHIS. Tenn., Oct. 20. Two shock
ing crimes have been committed at the lit
tle village of St. Anne, Miss., the last two
nights, one the natural sequence of tho
other. The first was the murder of a
j mother and four children by negrces. The
second was the burning at the stke of ths
1 leader of the negroes by enraged citizens
' of Mississippi. At St. Anne lives J. II.
j Gambrell. an aged and wtl. -to-do farmer.
I His family consisted of himself, his wife,
! his daughters Sallie, aged eighteen, and
1 Maud, sixteen, a son, Haywood, aged
j twelve, and baby boy, three years o'd.
j Before daylight yesterday rco.ning Mr.
Gambrell left his home to take a load of
' cotton to Canton. Shortly after he icft the
, sleeping family was awaktn.d by a party
of negroes, who seized them, tied them
tightly together with ropes, and p'ased
i them on the floor in the m.ddle of one of
the rooms, of the Gambrell residence.
, They then pickid up a feather b-d, ripped
j open the ticking with corn knives, and
j emptied tbo contents upon the mo. her and
j children. They secured the kerosene can
j and a quantity of rotton-se-ed o 1. The
' ringleader informed the he:p.ess victims
j that it was their intention to burn tliem
i alive. ITie mother and the elder boy, who
i had fought desperately whi e being tied.
j now begged piteously that they and the
i others might be spared from such a death,
only to be jeered and laughed at. The
daughters, however, did not sue for life,
but calmly awaited their fate.
The oil was poured over the mother and
children and a biasing pine knot touched
to the inilammable material. Soon death
came to their relief, the victims being
stifled by the thick black smoke of the oil.
The murderers then ransacked the hoate,
obtaining ?1S6 In money.
Neighbors attracted to the scene discov
ered that wholesale murder had been com
mitted. Suspicion pointed to Joseph Lef
lore, a negro, who lived a mile from tho
Gambrell home. A posse ttartea after him,
but he had disappeared. Early last night
he was captured several miles from the
scene of the murder. At first he denied
all knowledge, but later confessed that ne
and Bob and Anderson Smith, two other
negroes, had committed the crime, narrat
ing the details of Che tragedy. Later, the
accomplices of Leflore were captured and
brought to the place where he was held
prisoner by the mob.
Early this morning with ropes around
their nocks and hands manacled the three
men were taken back to the blackened
home of the Gambrell's and Leflore chained
to a stake driven deep into the ground in
the dooryard. Pine knots were piled up
around his feet. A torch was applied and
scon the flames were licking away his life.
Some one of the mob, appalled by the
shrieks of Leflore, sent a bullet into his
body, hastening death.
Anderson Smith escaped while Leflore
was being burned, and has not b-en recap
tured. His brother Bob was fastened to
another stake and a lightwood fire built
around him, but he protested his innocence
so strongly that the lire was rakel away,
some believing him to be innocent. His
legs, however, were so badly burned that
even if he survives he will be a cripple.
Leflore, almost with his last breath,
charged the Smiths with being his accom
jdlees. THE OLYKPIA'S OFPICERS.

showed again what a true sportsman he Is
by ordering his launch and going over to
tho Corsair, saying that he would rather
congrautlate the -winner than have them
come to the Erin tp condole with him. He
was cordially greeted By Commodore Mor
gan and later by C. Oljver Iselin.
bir Tnoruas watchedvthe ya.-LU carefully
until the first tack wsfemade, and when tha
distance the Columbia ad gained was no
ticed he closed his glasses, came down from
the bridge, and said- "The Co umbia is
the better boat. The race is a.l over un
less there Is an accident, and I sincerely
hope that there will be none. The Sham
rock is beaten in the weather that we
wanted for her."
After luncheon on the Erin he was the
life of the party, and just before luncheon
had been finished he arosa and said: "I
am glad to see j-ou all at my table now. I
as you say. and have not done It. I never i
said I would do it. I always said that I
considered that I had an even chance at
it witn my competitor. No opponent ever
said more than tnat. If it had been a sure
tning there would have been no sport in it.
Whatever I may have thousct bttore. I am
now convinced that the Columbia is a bet
ter boat than the Shamrock. The ftrst I
race was a disappointment, the second an j
accident; today we had a fair wind, what j
was supposed to be Shamrock weather. ,
The Columbia won on her merits, and she J
is a better boat. If I have not succeeded j
in lifting the cup, I have proved what I ,
said to the British public wntn I left, that '
an English gentleman could come over (
here, and if he acted like a gentleman he ;
would be treated like a gentleman, and '
accorded absolutely fair and sportsnianl.ke
treatment. Under all clrcun.stances I have j
satisfied myself, and I think I have con- i
vinced the world that I was right In Uils
belief. My opponents have treated me not
only fairly, but generously. They have
granted all I asked, and. In short, I have
had nothing but fair play and sportsman
like treatment from first to last.
"It is a pleasure to have to lose to such
a rival as Mr. Iselin, who has proved him
self a gentleman and a sportsman. Mr.
Herreshoff has shown himself to be the
greatest designer of yachts in the world,
and the Columbia is a wonder. It was sim
ply a question whether nn English-built
boat could do so well. I am not a sailor or
a skipper, but I must say, so far as I can
judge, the Columbia is the better boat. I
shall try and send another challenger If I
can arrange It. Now, 1 want you all to
drink to the Columbia, her owners, and her
crew." The toast was drunk by all, and
cheers were given for the Columbia.
The American Army and Navy oflicer3 on
the Erin paid Sir Thomas some very nice
compliments, and he replied felicitously.
Toasts to the President and the Queen were
drunk. When the Columbia had won. Sir
Thomas ordered that the Stars and Stripes
should be hoisted on both masts, and the
Erin hurried on to catch the Columbia. Tho
yachts In the fleet and all excursion steam
ers cheered the plucky sportsman as the
Erin went through the fleet. When near
tho Columbia Sir Thomas asked all on
board to stand at tho rail and give three
cheers for the wirfner. On the starboard
side of the Columbia was Commodore Mor
gan's Corsair. When the Erin got abreast
of the Columbia Sir Thomas shouted:
"Three cheers for the Columbia," and
three British cheers, with the sharp "hip,
hip," rang out while hats and handker
chiefs were waved, in the air. Then Mr.
Iselin led the cheering which was given for
Sir Thomas, and everyone on the Columbia
seemed to be trying to cheer louder than
anyone else. Cheering went on until the
Horseshoe was reached. As soon as the
anchor of the Erin went down Sir Thomas
went over to the Corsair. Commodore
Morgan met him at the -gangway, and
throw his arms around Sir, Thomas and j
then shook his hands heartily. v Sir Thomas
said he had come over to congratulate
Commodore Morgan and all connected with
the Columbia on the victory, which he
declared had been won fairly and square
ly. The Corsair's launch was sent over to
the Columbia to get Mr. Iselin. and it soon
returned with the managing owner of the
victor. Mr. Iselin, as soon as he reached
the deck, hurried toward Sir Thomas Lip
ton, and grasping both hands, greeted tho
visitor heartily. Sir Thomas congratulated
him on the victory, and Mr. Iselin was al
most overcome with the kind attention of
the defeated yachtsman.
Later Sir Thomas said of his plans: "I
cannot say what will happen now. I will
just take time to consider. While I can
supply the means to furnish another boat,
I have got to have a designer, and Mr.
Fife, poor fellow, is ill. I don't know
what his condition may be later. I have
nothing but the highest praise for all with
whom I have come in contact. I don't see
why innuendos should have been made In
the past. I am not leaving tha country for
some weeks. I have been asked to visit
Baltimore, Washington, Chicago and oth
er cities. I have it in my mind now to
come again, but first I have to talk with
my club representatives. I will not let
my business Interests Interfere with It,
and am willing to challenge again unless
some ono else wishes to do so. I must
take a few days to consider this before
saying anything positive."
The Erin and Shamrock will come up
to Tompkinsville tomorrow morning. The
work of stripping tho Shamrock will be
gin at once and she will soon start on
the voyage back home. When she will
leave is not known yet, but she will go aa
soon as possible. Sir Thomas and some
of his guests will see something of the
country before returning, but all declared
that they will be back to witness the next
attempt that will be made to "lift the
cup" and they seem to agreo that tho
challenger will be Sir Thomas Lipton.

Iij- the Committee Todny.
Admiral Dewey spent several hours yes
terday morning in the pleasant occupation
of house hunting, and although nearly one
dozen mansions were inspected, no decision
has yet been made. Each of the structures
visited contains some feature to recom
mend it to the distinguished naval officer
and an attempt is being made to combine
as many conveniences as possible within
one dwelling.
Secretary Vanderlip called upon the Ad
miral at 9:30 yesterday morning and the
two made a round of inspection. After a
careful hunt six houses were selected
as being most desirable as to location and
architecture. Tho Admiral's position was,
"How happy could I be in either," and
the final selection from the six ehcaen has
been left with Mr. Vanderlip.

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFFK, Oct 20.
The German brig Juliana, which reached
this port today from the Mediterranean,
brings a story of murder and mutiny that
has scircely its equal for horror In marine
history. Captain Schlosser. his wife, and
the mate were killed during the voyage In
their rooms by the helmsman, who com
mitted suicide by shooting himself through
the head on the vessel's deck today.
The rest of the crew, eleren men. are
locked in the Jail here. -
They were captured by the marines of the
Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel, who at
tacked the vessel. The sailors resisted
stoutly. Tho brig flew the Brazilian Hag
when she entered the harbor today, and
sought an anchorage on the east side of
the basin. One of the crew managed to
communicate with the Brazilian Consul,
and ho sought the Spanish Governor Gen
eral and asked that a force of marines from
the Infanta Isabel, lying in the harbor, be
sent at once to the brig.
The cruiser's launch, with a company
of marines, was sent to the Juliana.
In reply to a hail from the launeh the
crew appeared at the port rail, armed with
rifles, and ordered the cruiser's launch to
keep off. The launch kept straight on to
ward the brig, and the sailors ftred a vol
ley. The bullets scattered around the launch
but hit no one. Then the Spanish marines
turned loose their Mausers, and the brig's
crew dropped thlr arms, and running across
the deck. Jumped into the bay and swam
for land. They were cut off by the launch.
and all the men picked up. The helmsman
had remained on board. He witnessed the
capture of his men and raising his revolver
blew out his brains.
On board tho brig the cabin was found
in great disorder, and at the foot of the
companionway was the dead body of a
man evidently one of the crew. The crew,
it was learned, had thrown overboard the
bodies of the captain and his wife, and the
mate.
The body of the leader of the mutineers
was taken ashore for burial, and a watch
placed in charge of the brig.
