LYNCHED THE CONSTABLE. DE eujemin’ Andrews, preni Hetty Green, the richest dest of Brown university, proclaimed General Robert E. Lee the most raat and most heroic military jue or modern times from the stage of Central Music hall last sight He did not discredit the J pravery and valor of the leaders un der whom he himself fought He gave the head of the Confederate grmy more glory because he had to foce killing problems in addition to the ordinary puzzles of the severest fight that history knows. The gration was one of masterful elo- quence, delivered by a man built for gorator, witha rolling voice and the presence of agiant. He spoke with the air of powerful and firmest riageable daughter, and is therefore beginning to think about what kind of a man her soniolaw should be. Her ideas on the subject ara inter esting.

The trustees agreed. Dr Avdrews talked ia Evanston inthe afternoon. His theme there ms General William Tecumseh Sherman. He took occasion to give the man who was called crazy at the beginning of the war the honor of aecuting its culminating feature —the march tothe sea He praised General Lee in equal terms at the night lecture, pictured the great in- tellect of the lost cause ag one of the most wondertul of all American bis tory Hethought that the general erried out the instinct which was born with him—the love for the art of war and the heart to carry on war —inherited from an ancestry which cou'd be traced to one of the fiercest of the companions of William who tiled away from the shores of Nor mandy and conquered England. “Genaral L-e joined the Confeder sey because Virgivia asked him to.” said the doctor. “He was a Virginian. The call of Virgininto any of her ons is the voice of law and duty. He bad the faith of the crusader; his letters would makea guide to holiness. He was always a soldier, never impure in thought or act, never profane or obscene. He did not touch the cup as did Grant, Hovker or Phil Sheridan, and when helust a fight it was never said of bim that the defeat was due toa habit which makes men’s heads into muddles. He was never out genar- tled by Grant in all the campaigns from Rappahannock to James river, Dever trapped and never caught tapping. It usually happened that when the men on our side ordered a warch at 5in the morning they never made more than half ths dis tance between the two armies. Lee badordered an advance at 4:30. “J fail to find in the books any tuch masterful generalship as this hero showed, holding that slim gray line, half starved, with no prospect of additions, and fighting when his army was too hungry to stand and the rifles were ovly useful as clubs His courage was cublime. He was aa great as Gustavus Adolphus, er Napoleon, or Wellington, or Von Moltke. His cause was not the lost cause so much as is suspected.

The head was almost severed from the shoulders, while the bady was filled with Jeaden bullets. A short dis tance away the apparently almost lifeless body of McCroom was also found and the report gained rapid circulation that the officer and his prisoner had been waylaid, robbed and murdered bya bandof high waymen.

The cor oner ordered a wholesale arrest of the miners at Bonanza, but they sent word to the county officials if they wanted any of their number to just come down into the sbaft aad get them. They are well supplied with dynamite, and it is said intend to blow up the works ifan attempt is made to arrest them. The sheriff says he will have them even if he is forced to fire the mine. It is believed the governor will be called on to suppress the miners and assist the officersin executing the law. le. Two Millions a Year.
