Colo., April 28.—-About ono year since a terribie crime was committed in the Vitago of Fairplay, Purk County, Colo., by J. J. Hoover, and nt tho timo occasioned much excitement among tho citizens. Thronte were made of lynching tho offender, but tho plan was frustrated by the prisoner being taken to Denver and incarcerated up to the present time. Tho victim of Hoover was a well-known srloon-keeper of Fairplay named Bennett, who, by his genial manuer, was much thought of by his assovintes, of whom there wero a hoat,— Hoover, being: one of tho,frequenters of Ben- nett’s saloon, often accepting of bis hospitality. Tho trouble which has cnded tho lives of two Persons originated over tho right to use a ditch, and in tho dispute Hoover became so exnaper~ ated that ho made un nssault upon Bennett, killing blm instantly, Tho murder being ale most wholly unprovoked, tho spirit of public feeling ran high against Hooyer, and, bad ho notccen removed to Denver, the angry and ine furlated peoplo of Fairplay would have struny hin up on tho spot, floover bas remnined in tho jail at Donvor ever since April, 1879, till last Sundny, when be was brought to Fulrptay for trin],—bis caso com- ing before the Courton Monday and Tucsday,— nnd it was generally supposed that the culprit would receivo a Ilfe-sentence or ba hung, which would havo antisfied the citizens and avenged a horrible crime. But tho doliberations of a jury of “twelve just and true men decided diifer- ently, and brought in a verdict of eight years’ imprisonment, ‘he people of Falrplay, with whom the ex- oltement bad not subsided, notwithstanding tho time that bad clapsed since the murdor, were roused into indiguation at this Hght sentonce. Public feeling ran high, and, from tho earnost conversation among tho groups gathered here and thoro along tho strects, it was ovident that something was on foot among the tawnsmen. About # o'clock this morning, a little band of masked men, well armed, procooded to the place of the confinement of Hoover, and, overpower- fug the keeper, took tho Inw inte thelr own bands, and suminarily onded tho matter by tak- ing the prisoner from tho jail and hanging him on n tree, a8 1s usual on suctr oconsions. Public sentimont bere is, that the lynching was deserved, Itis another solemn warning to murdorera. 3,0. P, NOT GUILTY, Speetal Dispatch to The Chteago Tridune. Cxpan Rarmos, In.

Wasutnaton, U.C., May 2—The question of tho final adjournment of Congress by June 1 fs complicated ton very considerable oxtent by tho tnriff question,’ Itis noticeable that thuse who are foremost in urging nn enrly udourn- ment—the date being fixed by these nersons nt June I—nre thoso who aro determined that sf they cun prevent it thora shall be no tacit! legis- Intton at this session, Prominent among tho advocates of in curly adjournment 1s Speukor Randall, Of course an adjournment at that time precludes Iegisintion on the pro- posed new Tarif bill, whieh ft sow acoms probablo will be reported from tha Ways and Means Committee. Thnt ts the result, howover,; which the Speaker much desires to accomplish, and he Js a great power in tho Honse, and can do much to accomplish his objects. If tho question of final adjournment depended upon the House alone it might be pos- sible to fluish tho appropriation bills by that time, excluding oll other business. There would ue strong opposition to such a course inthe Honse from those who wish to have some tariff legislation. Tho Senate, howover, controls the situation.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE NEW BILE. Special Dispatch to The Caleuga Tribune, Wasuixotos, D. C., May &.—The Tarlif bill agreed to bo reported back to the full Com- mittee on Ways and Means by tho Sub-Com- mittee will probably come Into tho Houso as reported with elthor a favorable oran advorse Yeport, As the Sub-Committco comprises a majority of the whole Committee, it has it in its power to carry out tho agreement to per- mit nothing to be added to or taken from the bil. The provisions of the bill may be moil- fied and the whole may be reported adversely, but as it Js made up it must go into the House. This, will give tho Houso and the countrys what. bas been so loudly demanded,—on opportunity to havea vote ona tariff proposition. In addition to the articles onumornted in these despatches the othor evening, tho following items are In- cluded in the Sub-Committes's bill: Tha duty on unsized paper 1s reduced from 20 to 1b per cent; on sized papor, from 25 to 20 per cent; on writing paper, from 85to 25 per cent; on wood pulp, from 20 to 10 per cent.
