Mr. Murat Halstead published in his paper a reply toa published statement that John A. Logan, jr., of Youngstown, Ohio, had refused to send to the Murat Halstead club of Cincin- nati s portrait of Gen. Logan for the reason that his father, if living, would not want his portrait hung in the rooms of an organization named after a man who had slandered, vilified and traducedhim. Mr. Halstead says after re- ferring to Gen. Logan: “It is regretable that his son demands attention to the error that clouded the close of his senatorial career, but @ generous people would more than once for- give for his father’s sake the impetuous indiscretion of the son of great general of the western volunteers. Ihave only to say of myself that the young man mistakes me.” Mra, John A. Logan in an interview in Chicago yesterday endorsed her son’s action in refusing to forward his father’s picture to the Murat Halstead club of Cincinnati. “I am lad,” she said, ‘my son has done what he did. t means no disrespect to Ohio people to whom for their many kindnesses, due doubtless to their regard for his father and his memory, he huas every reason to be and is grateful.” ————-oo—___ Kes Src) vA aed ip dustoe 45- minute line. $1.20 roun exposi- tion week.— Advi, “ sary ——__—_ A NEGRO LYNCHED. The Mob Tied Him to a Tree and Rid- dled His Body with Bullets. A Charlotte, N.C., dispatch says: John Sig- mond, a one-legged negro, was lynched Satur- day near Sterling creex, Caston county. Sig- mond was employed as a laborer on the farm of Squire J. B. Moore, a highly respected citizen of Gaston county. Friday evening, while Sig- mond was doing some work about the house, Mr. Moore went into the field, No one was at the house except the negro and Mrs. Moore's twelve-year-old daughter, who was sitting in the bed room. Sigmond saw her through a window from outside, and went in and quickly entered the room where the girl was. Then locking the door he made an assault upon her. The girl began to scream at the top of her voice, Her father, hearing her cries, hastened back to the house, Securing an axe he went to the door, and finding it locked broke it open just in time to catch the negro by the foot ashe was jump- ing out of the window. Mr. Moore struck the negro two or three times, then bound him and took him before a magistrate. A preliminary trial was held and the negro was turned over to the officers to be committed to jail. It is about 10 miles from Stauley creek to Dallas. the county seat, and it was after midnight when the officers started on their journey to the jail. When about four miles away about seventy- five masked men rushed out from the woods and, surrounding the officers, demanded that they tnrn their " eiousgead over to them. The oficers said nothing and allowed Sigmond to be carried away. The mob had gone only a few hundred yards away when several shots were heard. Today the body of the negro was found tightly bound against a large oak treoina standing position, with his head turned as if facing the mob. His body was riddled with eS at least fifty shots having been fired ito it, ———+e+______ BURNED FOR LYING, The Inhuman Method Adopted by a Lon- _ don Mother. From the London Telegraph. Recently, in one of the London police courts, & married woman was charged with cruelly ill- treating her s8n, aged seven, by placing a hot poker in his mouth. A lodger in the same house as the prisoner stated that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner sent her boy on an errand to a baker's shop and that the child re- turned and said that he had lost the money, Spence. Shortly afterward the prisoner went out, and on her’return she told witness that she did not believe her son’s story and that she had gone tosee the woman at the baker's shop, who told her that the best way of curing @child of telling falsehoods was to burn its tongue with hot curling irons. The prisoner added that she had not the irons, but she would use a poker, and then went up stairs to her rooms, Witness did not believe that prisoner would do such » thing, but soon afterward she heard the boy screaming, and, running upstairs to the prisoner's sitting room she saw a smail poker in the fire. The prisoner admitted that she had used the poker in the way she had threatened to do, and wit- ness, on examining the child, found that his tongue and the side of his mouth were burnt, She was amazed at the cruel conduct of the mother and communicated with the police. The prisoner was taken into custody soon after- ward. A doctor who had examined tne child said that the front of his tongue was burned, though not very seriously, and also the side of his mouth. The prisoner, in defense, said that her son had on twoor three occasions. when sent on errands, stolen some of the money and afterward told lies about it, He had also toid consequence of the advice given her by the woman at the baker's shop, she determined to break him, once for all,of the habit. The woman told her that if she used a pair of hot curling irons or a skewer it would cure the boy ot lying instantly, adding that she must not make the instrument too hot, but hot enough to make the child feel it, The woman said hed knows two or three children to be onred in way.

An Incident Which Amused the Pas- sengers of a Pullman Car, ‘From the Boston Globe. Ileft Boston for Montreal in the midst of a pouring rain, and, as the train rolled out of Boston and Lowel station I surveyed the pas- sengers around me, Two priests occupied the section behind and an old-fashioned couple that directly in front, while on both sides fur- ther along were numerous travelers evidently bound for the mountain region. None were very interesting, andso I began thinking of my journey, Just at this point a voice near me ex- claimed, “I feel like h—1!” Ilooked up in surprise. A modest young lady bound for Woodstock sat opposite, and she too was wondering at the utterance. The reverend fathers behind looked gravely shocked, and the couple on the seat in front, despite their evident approach to three score and ten, were anxious and annoyed. The venerable ola lady looked silly as weil as mad. It cannot be that she forgot herself and used such an expression, I thought, and just at that minute the talk again began, Such a vocahu- lary of profanity never heard, It was de- livered like the charge from a eatling gun and evidently came from the floor or underneath a seat. The Pullman car conductor walked in from the buffet withan important air and looked sharply around for the villainous speaker. He found him, Ina cage at the old lady's feet, imprisoned by a wrapping of heavy brown paper, was a large parrot, which the con- ductor said at once must be removed, The old lady argued thata bird swearing didn’t count, but the conductor grabbed the cage and carried it into the baggage car. soe Christian Science and Pain. From the New York Herald. “Why don’t the Christian scientists take up dentistry?" I inquired, as I writhed in the torture chair of a skilled knight of the tooth drill afew days ago. “It would be a good thing for them to abolish pain such as I am suffering and monkey with a nerve without dis- turbing the patient.” The dentist laughed. ‘‘Toothache and the processes of dentistry are hard nuts for the mind-cure people to crack,” he replied. ‘They suffer from decayed teeth themselve: d have to seek ous aid then, Ican tell you an amus- ing story in this connection, About a month since a lady, who is quite famous in certain circles as a Christian science teacher and dealer, eame here to have her teeth treated. Two of them were belly decayed, and while I was poking at her mouth I questioned her about Christian science. She talked very freely on the subject, told me that matter did not ex- ist, and that disease and pain are only figments of the brain, &c. “Well, I had been getting things fixed while she held forth, aud just as she was in the thick of it I started the drill on her worst tooth. She jumped like a shot deer and uttered a little e clamation. I went right on, though, and p. haps you know I was not quite so tender with her as [am with you, for instance. She didn’t seem to enjoy herself a bit, so presently I sug- gested that it must be awfully pleasant not to suffer pain like ordinary people, and intimated that I felt like going in for Christian science myself. “she got very red and I did not dare to say more on the subject, but Ican assure you she had to clench her fingers pretty tight to avoid wincing while that drill was finishing the job, and she carefully avoided talking Christian sci- ence to me after that.’’ —_—- ee —_____ HE DIDN’T KNOW HIM.

There is the vest doubt in this city as to how many of miners took the northward course with a hope of meeting a steamer in time to save themselves. There is no official information to be had in this city regarding the movements of the revenue cutters, but Deputy Surveyor Fogarty says the Rush left in the middle of May for Point Barrow in order to restore to this station what had been swept away by the winds. The steamer, however, would leave there before the miners could possibly arrive. KO HOPE OF RESCUE, Levi Sioss of the Alaska commercial com- pany says the steamer St, Paul left this city Thursday last for St. Michael with no other purpose in view than to rescue the miners who had been led to believe that their only success rested in descending the Yukon, ‘The men may have started for Point Barrow, others may have floated down Yukon andon the way became frozen, or they may have taken the trip over the back route by way of Juneau. Levi Sloss says all who have gone north to the Arctic will surely be lost, while those who float down the Yukon may be saved by the St. Paul. John Treadwell, superintendent of the Alaska mill and a company on Doug- jass ivland, expressed amall hopes for rescue of miners, ‘“Theyare,” be said, ‘in a countr’ which is in winter one of the coldest ani dreariest that can be imagined and where noth- ing that will support life can be found. — “If the men do not succeed in reaching the mouth of the Yukon or the coast their chances of surviving are small indeed, as they have no provisions. If they fail to reach the seashore they will surely perish, for no assist- ‘ance can reach them.” MICROBES IN A TRUNK, They Infect Two Families After Thirty Years—A Moral. From the Journal of Surgery. Thirty-five years ago an opulent family lived in one of our most beautiful suburbs. Two lovely children graced the happy household. But scarlet fever closed their eyes in death. The grief-stricken mother gathered up little slips, slippers and toys, with two golden tresses, and reverently laid them away in a trunk as sad but priceless mementoes of her lost darlings, Warcame with its tragic vicissitudes aud death time and again threw its shadow over the hearthstone. Finally the place passed into strangers’ hands. Last year two families took itas a summer residence. The children, six in number, with childish curiosity, began to explore the secret recesses of the grand by gabe In a closet was found the forgotten trunk, A touch dissolved the time-corroded clasp, and one by one the sacred relics were re- moved, until a faded newspaper was found, which ‘told the pathetic story. Half-spelling out the meaning, they took it to their mother, who okie their curiosity and tenderly re- placed the treasures. Five days after this oc- currence two of the children were seized with scarlet fever, and forty-eight hours later the other four were attacked. Two cases were grave, the others mild. All recovered. Was the disease coutracted from the trunk? I think 80, because there was no other ascertainable source of infection, Moral: Silks, woolen and hair, being good fomites, should not be put away in air-tight trunks as mementoes of friends dying with in- fectious diseases, because they may become, at some remote period, the starting — ofa wide-spreading and ‘disastrous epidemic, calamity which was averted in this instance only by comp! 0° It was a Valuable Cane. From the New York Herald. “So you lost your cane, you say, and you don’t bother your head about it because it was only a fifty-center,” and the detective shragged his shoulders as he made this remark tome on a Manhattan Beach train yesterday, The cau had fallen off the reporter's knees as the cars were at full speed. “It's lucky you don’t carry anything of value in it,” continued the detective, ‘or you would bother your head a little about Pll tell you what the cane re- minds me of. Some years ago an eccentric rich man of this city was going to Chicago and he lost his cane off the platform of s smoking car, I was a passenger on the train and before we got to the next station that man was about as crazy a manasI eversaw. The cane was a cheay Jobn, but if he had lost his ouly son he conhis’® tare bean care upset. Well, he got off at the next station and had a telegram sent back to the other offering » reward of $25 for that cane. It was only 10 miles away, and as I had business in the town whose station he tele- graphed from, I got quite interested when I found that the gentleman had determined to remain till the next day to get his stick.” “Did he get it?” “He got it, and he andI the next day con- tinued on the same train on our way to Chi- cago. I met him at the Grand Pacific about a week afterward. He and the cane were to- gether.” ~ ‘Is that thing as valuable as ever?’ I asked, “Not by # blank sight,’ he exclaimed, laugh- ing. ‘It’s worth #20 though,’ he added, and tuking it by the lumpy heed he pressed his thumb on one of the wood warts in a mysteri- ous, fambling way and the knotty head fell back. He then handed me the stick, It was hollow about three inches in depth under the head and the hollow was lined with velvet, “Don't you think I was right to pay $25 for the recovery of a cane like that?’ he remarked, “I respectfully said that I didn’t see where the va.ue came in. ‘Weil,’ he answered, ‘it will never be as valuable to me again as it was when I dropped it off the platform, for it then contained soli- taire diamonds worth $25,000.'” At Zanesville, Ohio, yesterday, the of Chas.
