HAI ‘05 9th st. n. w., au2.6m West Washington, Lynched for a Fiendish Crime. A BOHEMIAN WHO BLEW UP A HOUSE, KILLING FOUR PEOPLE, I8 PROMPTLY STRUNG UP. A Seattle, W. T., special to the New York Herald says: Ino. Schaeffer, Bohemian, was lynched at half-past 1 o'clock to-day at Gil- man, a coal-mining town, twenty-five miles east of here. The cause was as follows: Last spring Schaeffer was arrested for assaulting the wife of Jas, Bodoyla. He was convicted and te eee for three months, = ie then swore vengeance on an soon after his felvens al stheanpiod so Eiot the house up, but only succeeded in the front th. This morning at 5 o'clock, how- ever, he was more successful. He placed alarge charge of dynamite under the house and the ex- | pans tore the place to atoms. Bodoyla had ‘is two legs broken, his daughter was killed outright, and his wife died from her injuries two hours afterward. Two men who were brie 4 at the house were torn into unrecog- nizable pieces. ‘The Bohemian was searched for immediately. When found he was changing his clothes, the ones discarded being covered with dirt as though he had been craw! under some house. He was arrested, but the community soon rose, took the murderer nearest tree and strung him up. un VESSELS FOR COAST DEFENSE. Representative Thomas’ Plans Ap- proved by a Naval Board. Mr. Thomas is of the Monitor type, 3,000 tons burden, armed with one dynamite gun, two 10-inch guns, two torpedo tubes, and one rapid-firing gun, She is to have 9 feet with provisions for a suf- ficient water to submerge her. in action, 3 feet, thus giving her but six feet of exposed The decks are flush, and the ten-inch guns, instead of being fired through holes in the turret, are fired over the top, as behind a bulwark. The speed of the vessel is to be seventeen knots. The mem- bers of the board are of the opinion that the design has great merit. = Mr. Chas. Cramp, of the Philadelphia ship- building firm, was at the N. department to- day gathering information relative to the new coast-defense vessel, for which proposals are to be opened next month, with the view, it is thought, of bidding for the contract. The Alleged Alaska Outrages. TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. The inquiry into the alleged outrages upon the persons of females on the seal islands of St. Paul and St. George and the operations of the Alaska commercial com- pany on those islands was resumed by the House committee on tho merchant marine and | f three months after the delivery of the build- the fisheries yesterday. The first witness called was Capt. L. G. Shep- herd, of the revenue marine service, who made a cruise in Alaskan waters during the seasons of 1887 and 1888. Never heard of any of the reported outrages and was never asked to pro- tect any one. Witness said if government pro- tection was withdrawn from the seal rookeries | Would otherwise be delayed till the seals would be destroyed in from three to five years. There are probably fifty to sixty vessels now fittin ing sea and adjacent waters to ios Tre: di ‘ding hi ‘om the Treasury department regarding his operations in Alaskan waters, but refused to say what they were. He preferred to let the committee secure them from the Treasury de- artment. He said the Treasury regulations 5 ‘@ construction upon the statutes which next year, makes a discrimination between American and | Commenced December 15, was about completed, British vessel The testimony of the next witness, Jacob H. Moulton, a special ‘Treas- ury agent at the Seal Islands from 1877 to 1884, agreed generally with that of other witnesses concerning the carrying out of the terms of the contract by’ the Alaska company. The contract of the natives with the whites was beneficial to them, and witness never knew of the existence of a con- dition of affairs such as has been recently pub- lished, ‘apt. C. A. Abbey, in command of the steamer Corwin, stated that he thought at least 90,000 seals had been killed illegally, and Licut.- Com. Nichols, of the coast survey, said that, so far as he could judge, the company had been living up to the terms of the contract. Mrs. Cleveland’s Portrait. There are portraits of four wives of Presi- dents on the walls of the White House. The first is of Martha Washington, in the east room. While beautiful, it is probably more ideal than real, as nothing but portraits on ivory are ex- tant, tradition supplying all that pertains to her size and costume. Mrs. Tyler's is in the green parlor, as arealso those of Mrs. James K. Polk and Mrs. R. B. Hayes. Mrs. Polk was a stately dame, re- nowned for her beauty, tact and intellect. Mrs. Hayes is considered the pet woman who ever reigned in the White House, the two brides not excepted. She was “lucky” in the first place in getting there. Her exceptional geniality made people feel as though they were the very ones she had long been expecting. She enjoyed each day as though it were a spe- cial providence in her behalf. Her picture was put there by the W. C. T. U. for her loyalty and influence in the temperance cause. Many people think that there should be another portrait beside the notable four men- tioned—that of Mrs. Cleveland. Her admirers think that they may never again see in the White House so lovely and gracious a woman- hood, allied to youth and beauty, consisting juite as much of manner and carriage as form. Wherever she has been, or been seen, she has won only admiration and praise. It is thought that if her portrait could be painted as she stood receiving on New Year day it would be a very effective adornment for the walls of the executive mansion, In a few weeks her place will be oceupied by another, no doubt the em- bodiment of cultured womanhood, and it is no disparagement to say that the exceptional case of a young wife in that position is of so | general interest that should be knowledges its prototype preserved. Every one —ac- that Mrs, Cleveland has filled her difficult position with grace and tact. Many on New Year day felt. their ap- preciation deepening, as they realized how soon her public reign would be over. Her dress on that occasion was in exquisite taste—beautiful, becoming, unique and, withal, artistic. ‘The flowing lines of its sweeping train, its loose front und delicate colors com- bined to make it a worthy setting for the higher graces of form and manner. ‘The black fur border around the neck and train gave it an air of unusual distinction. Three ladies of the Woman's National press association, inspired by the thought of pre- serving so much grace and beauty, have taken the matter in hand, and they hope soon so to shape it as to make Mrs. Cleveland's portrait an accomplished fact, to which all her friends and admirers can lend a hand. Affairs in Anacostia. A WOMAN BADLY FRIGHTENED BY A NEGRO—A PAS- TOR’S SUDDEN ILLNESS, ETC. While the wife of W. Mangum, a car-driver residiug at the corner of Polk and Jefferson streets, was engaged in cooking supper Sun- day evening about 7 o'clock, she was startled by the sudden entrance of a rough-looking negro, who threatened to killher if she uttered a sound, further avowing his intention of kill- ing both her and her husband. Without wait- ing for further explanations, Mrs. Mangum caught up her youngest child and ran scream- /ing to her mother-in-law's house, more than two blocks away. Officers L. B. Anderson and Marr were at once notified, and hastened to capture the miscreant, but he had disappeared. Mrs. Mangum describes him, but the police have as yet been unable to find him. Rev. Chas. O, Cook, pastor of the M. E. church, had an attack of heart trouble last Sunday morning just before services. He was assisted to his home, where he now lies danger- ously ill, Mr. H. A.

It has been held by the attorney of the Dis- trict that a mechanic's lien cannot be placed on a public or District building. The District, however, ible liens , protects itself against arising from the mismanagement, dishonesty, or misfortune of a contractor by a ision in the contract and bond, making the bond run three months after the completion of the build- ing. A clause to this effect is inserted in contract for a building.

A Buffalo special to the New York Sun says: News of the cremation here of Miss Genevieve Goddard, which was reported in the Sun, has brought to light a romance in her life. She lived in Madison, Conn., with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Goddard, when she fel! in love in 1883 with young Charles I. Way, at the age of eighteen years. But the parents interposed, and young Way left. Soon afterward he was made station agent at Stony creek, Conn., on the Shore line, for preventing the wrecking of a train by tramps. Pressing his suit again Madison, he again met with favor from the fi Genevieve. The twain appointed @ tryst in New York, and marriage followed.

SOME PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO CONSIDER. Here are a few timely thoughts which Ed- mund Alton lays before the readers of St. Nicholas as to the véto power of the President. The question involved is one upon which all young people should inform themselves.

It isalso believed that even after Gen. Harrison shall have determined upon his cabinet he will not make public the names until they are sent tothe Senate for confirmation.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press quotes Col. W. R. Hollo- way as being sure of Mr. Blaine's selection, as giving his reasons for that belief as follows: “It is the desire of a proportion of the members of the party. Every prominent mam who has called on Gen, Harrison, with the ible exception of Mr. Quay, has expressed imself favorably to .

A Columbus, Ohio, special to the N. Y. World quotes the Rev. H. W. Bennett, the author of the resolutions against dancing at the inaugu- ral cose begs ote bee evening: “There is noth- ing inthe "86 report sent out from here last week'to the effect that we are paring a memorial to be sent to Gen. Harrison in regard to the inaugural ball, Gen. Harri- son is not a member of our church and we do not feel disposed to dictate to him. We simply had some opinions to express and we expressed them. So far as I know here this subject will drop as far as we are concerned.” THE BALL BUSINESS DROPPED. According to the New York Tribune special, the Indianapolis ministerial association, at its meeting yesterday, voted unanimously to ap- point a committee of seven members, repre- senting as many Protestant denominations, to prepare an address “expressing our cordial Christian regard for the President-elect.” The committee will report at the February meet- ing and will also arrange for an appropriate a of the address to the general. A few allusions were made to the inau- guration ball, and there was an almost unani- mous agreement that the subject was not one on which clergymen should express themselves to the embarrassment of the President-elect. AN ADDRESS PRESENTED TO GEX. HARRISON. At the meeting of the Gentlemen's literary club in Indianapolis last night, the Times cor- respondent says that a paper on the “Knights of the Golden Circle” was read by Wm. Dudley Foulke, and Gen. Harrison, ex-Gov. Porter and W. P. Fishback gave their own reminiscences of the times when the knights flourished. The real business of the meeting was begun in the shape of special honors to Gen. Harrison, who is one of the oldest members of the club. W. H. Rexford, its president, in a complimene tary speech, presented to Gen, Harrison an address, handsomely engraved on parchment, expressing the esteem and affection which the members of the club felt for him and their ‘atification at the high honors to which he d been called. “It was signed by all the members of the club, whom are Judge Solomon Claypool and John A. Holman, demo- crats; ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce, John H, Holliday, editor of the Indianapolis News; Judge W. A. Woods, of the United States dis- trict court; Judge Gresham, C. W. Fairbanks, ex-Congressman Calkins and ex-Gov. A. G, Porter. Gen. Harrison received the address with a good deal of emotion. He said that he lacked suitable words with which to express his feelings, for he was unaccustomed to ing much lately. He had been listening and olkess bedi Some th speaking, and a great deal of political wisdom he had heard. Things had been shaping themselves so, however, that be would soon be able to , and he trusted that the country would satisfied with his utterances, A collation brought the festivities to a close, H ‘NOTES.
