NEGRO LYNCHING.
JIOB OF EXECUTIONERS. NEW YORK, DEC. 21. Within sight of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, a masked mob of sixty;men besieged the city gaol, battering dot™ the doors and imprisoning the warder and his subordinates while they dragged Henry Da vis, alias Chambers, a negro prisoner, into the street and lynched iiim. • Before he was put to death Davis confessed that he had attacked Mre John Reid, of Brownsville. He added that lie did not in the least repent of his crime, and this intensified tiie fury of the crowd. Reid, who was immediately taken to a quarter of the city, was hoisted up from the branch of a tree. Scarcely had his feet left the ground when a re voiver cracked anl a bullet gashed his scalp. This was the signal for general firing, and the body was riddled with over a hundred bnlh'ts.
