LYNCHED BY WOMEN.
AN ALLEGED SLANDERER
An English miner named Geo. Englart was lynched in extraordinary circumstances by a mob of women at the village of Manifold, Pensylvauia, at the end of May. Opinions he had expressed regarding the girls and women of the place were declared by them to be slanderous, and one evening a meeting of nine-tenths of the female population decided to drive him from the village. The following day the women notified him to leave, but before he had the opportunity to do so a mob of 250 women and girls armed with sticks and pick handles, attacked him, ran after him for two miles, and repeatedly struck him and knocked him down. The police pursued the mob in a trap, rescued Euglart, drove him a mile from the infuriated women, and warned him that it would be best.not to return. In the evening he was found dying in a wood hard by. Englart’s wife, who is in the hospital recoving from an operation, was so affected by the news that she is likely to die. Four of the women were arrested.
