TWO MURDERERS LYNCHED
Mob Avenges the Death of Simons at
Rockport, Ind.
Rockport. Ind., Dec. 17.—As H. S.
Simons, a bayber, was go mg home froxr
work Saturday night he was attacked b/
two negroes, who Clubbed his brainsoul
with an iron bar. A farmer who was
near the scene was also attacked by the
assassin, but escaped and gave the
alarm. Suspicion pointed to Bud Row
land and Jim Henderson, negroes, the
latter having worked for the murdered
man. They were arrested and lodged in
jail. Sunday morning a dog was placed
on the trail of the murderers and after
following the trail for some time led the
posse to the bed occupied by Rowland.
Securing ropes, sledgehammers, etc.,
and gaining in numbers as it went, the
now howling mob repaired to the jail.
The sheriff and two deputies at
tempted to protect the prisoners, but
were disarmed and locked in a room.
The sheriff refused to give up the keys,
and a telegraph pole was secured and
the side wall of the jail battered in.
The door to Rowland's cell was broken
down with sledges, a poose adjusted.
negro was carried to the jail yard,
where he made a confession, implicat
ing Jim Henderson and another negro.
He was then swung up and his body
riddled.
Returning to the jail Henderson’s cell
door was broken down. He was then
taken to the jail yafd and hung beside
Rowland.
The mob then went in search of the
other negro, who was a hotel porter.
He took refuge on the roof, and before
he could be captured the manager had
established his innocence.
Walter Evans, who attempted to save
Simons’ life, and who afterward as
sisted in the removing of the dead man's
remains to his home, was greatly af
fected and almost suffered nervous col
lapse. He witnessed the lynching of
the murderers and is now; a raving ma
niac.
J. CORDON GREY TESTIFIES
He Appears Before the Industrial
Commission at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—The indus
trial commission began a special session
at the Manufacturers’ club here today
and representatives of all the important
industries in Pennsylvania have been
invited to appear.
The first witness was J. Gordon Grey,
secretary of the Manufacturers’ club
and head of the firm of Queen & Co.,
manufacturers. - .
He said that during the past four years
the conditions had improved. He as
serted that despite the prosperity of the
country the manufacturers had not par
ticipated in it to any extent. He gave
as a reason for thjs the increased price
of raw material which he said»prevented
a proportionate increase in profit with
the increase of business.
ANOTHER EXCITING DAY
Nearly All Leading Stocks Dealt In.
Heavy Transactions Recorded.
New York, Dec. 17. —The stock mar
ket showed all the signs of an excited
and rampant bull speculation again to
day. This has become so familiar a
state of affairs in the last six weeks as
to deprive it of much of its novelty and
consequently of its interest as a mere
spectacle. Every preparation had been
made to meet a sweeping outside de
mand for stocks.
Practically all of the leading stocks
were dealt in, individual transactions
running up to blocks of 4,000 and 5,000
shares. Blocks of 1,000 shares seem to
be the rule rather than the exception.
The scene on the floor of the exchange
was apparently one of wild disorder,
but was in reality one of the highest
and most complex organization.
