It 4s hourly expected that Admiral Mello will order the bombardment he has threatened, and with his ships commanding the city it is known that the damage they will do ‘will be immense. ‘The rebel vessels are in positions to pour a furious fire into the city, and the wealth- fer residents have already fled the place. ‘Those who are forced by circumstances to remain dread every moment to hear the boom of a gun that in their opinion will presage the destruction of the city.

BERLIN, Sept. 2.—The report that Em- Peror William had, upon hearing of Prince Bismarck's illness at Kissengen, sent a dis- Patch to the ex-chancellor expressing his sympathy and offering him one of the im- perial castles as a residence has caused much newspaper comment. As a rule, the papers approve of the emperor’s advance toward renewing his friendship with the Drince.

LYNCHEDAT ROANOKE The Mob Completes the Work Begun Last Night. SMITH BANGED AND HIS BODY BURNT. Anger Against the Mayor and the Military. GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILS ROANOKE, Va., Sept. 21—A squad of twenty men tock the negro Smith from three policemen just before 5 o'clock this morning and hanged him to a hickory limb on 9th avenue southwest, in the residence section of the city. They riddled his body with bullets, and left a placard on his body, “This is Mayor Trout's friend.” A coroner's jury of business men was summoned and viewed the body of the negro and rendered a verdict of “death at the haads of unknown men.” Thousands of people visited the scene of. the lynching between daylight and 8:50 o'clock, when the body was cut down. After the jury had completed their vork the body was placed in the hands of officers, who were unable to keep back the mob. ‘Three hundred men tried to drag the body through the streets of the town, but the Rev. Dr. Campbell of the First Presbyter- fan Church and Capt. R. B. Moorman with pleading and main strength prevented them. Capt. Moorman hired a wagon and had the body put in it. It was then conveyed to the bank of the Roanoke, about one mile Barned the Body. pangs The dead ni was dragged from wagon by Pp about 200 yards and burned on a pile of dry lumber. The body was placed upon this heap and more brushwood was piled on it, leaving only the head bare. The whole was then saturated with coal oil and a match ap- plied. The body was ccnsumed within an hour. The cremation was witnessed by several thousand people. ‘The mob threatened at one time to bury the negro in Mayor Trout’s yard. Threats of vengeance have been openly made against the mayor and the militia for at- tempting to maintain the lew. Capt. Bird, commanding the militia, has left the town. Mayor Trout has also disappeared and President Buckner of the city council is acting mayor. The excitement is bmn pet oar here is a talk of citizens - cacao meeting, and it is rumored on the streets that threats are being made to burn the town unless satisfaction of some is rendered. scored throng the streets and all the public’ places. An immense crowd is in front of Oakley and Woolwine, undertakers’ shops, where seven of the dead bodies lie. he Death List. ‘The number of the dead last night was exaggerated. It is now found that only | nine men are dead,as stated in United Press dispatches. The revised list of casualties is as fol- lows: Dead—S. A. Vick, proprietor of the St. James Hotel; Wm. Sheets, a fireman of the Norfolk and Western raflroad; Charles Whitmyer, a conductor on the Norfolk and Western; J.B.

Bird, who then ordered the men to fire at the mob, which was battling down the side door of the jail. More trouble is feared. Every effort is being made to calm the excited crowd. PETES MONTAGUE’S DEATH. DAISY ‘The Lo: m Dancer Shot by a Rejected Love: LONDON, Sept. 21.—Much excitement was caused in music hall circles by the shooting early this morning of Miss Daisy Mon- tague, a well-known dancer at the Empire Theater, and the gentleman who was es- corting her to her home in Regent Square, Gray's Inn road. The police investigation into the shooting has revealed the fact that the murderer, who after fatally shooting Miss Montague and her escort committed suicide by shooting himself, was named Leo Percy. He was an electrician. The shooting was prompted by jealousy. Percy ‘had been engaged to marty “Miss Montague a short time ago, but the latter broke off the engagement, having, it ap- pears, formed a friendship with the man whom Percy shot this morning. Percy brooded over his disappointment, and at- tributed Miss Montague’s action ‘in break- Ing the engagement to the fact that the man who had supplanted him in her affec- tions had more money than he had, his rival being a wealthy tradesman named Samuel Garcia. Last night after the Empire Theater was closed, Percy, who was watching Miss Mon- tague, saw her meet Garcia and start for home with him. Percy followed them, and when # qufet street was reached he has- tened his steps and came up close behind them. Without uttering a word he drew a revolver and fired several shots at them, allot which took effect. A constable heard @ shots and ran in the direct ence Sentra sala nm he arrived he found Miss Montague and Garcia lying on the sidewalk with blood Pouring from thelr wounds, while beside jem lay Percy dead, he havin; - self through the head. matics —_—.__ LEAD CITY ESCAPES.

ALBUQUERQU: M., Sept. 21.—A rous- ing statehood convention was held here yesterday, with 60) delegates in attendance. ‘A strong delegation will go to Washington to urge upon members of Congress the im- Dortance of immediate action. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1893, JERSEY CITY QUARANTINED. Spain Imitates the Recent Action of Portugal. MADRID, Sept. 21.—The Spanish govern- ment has declared a quarantine against the ports of Hamburg, Germany, and Hull, En- gland, owing to the prevalence of cholera at those places. It has also declared Jersey City, N. J., to be infected, and all vessels that left that city subsequent to Aug. 31 for Spanish ports will be quarantined upon ar- rival. The action of the government in re- spect of Jersey City is due to the informa. tion furnished by the Spanish consul at New York of the existence of a choleraic disorder in Jersey City. Official informa- tion also having reached the government of the existence of yellow fever at Tampa, Florida, all vessels that have left that port since August 20, bound for Spanish ports, will be quarantined. s HAMBURG, Sept. 21.—A meeting of the municipal council was held yesterday and a long and excited discussion arose concern- ing the water supply of the city, it having been charged that the drinking ‘water fur- nished the inhabitants had been contami- nated with cholera infection by a break in the pipes that allowed wate: from the river Elbe to mix with the pure water. Herr Meyer, the chief engineer of the city, admitted that such had been the case, but he declared that the reservoir filter was pow perfectly free from inflow trom the During the twenty-four hours ended at noon today there were twelve new cases of cholera and three deaths from that disease reported to the authorities here. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.—The ravages of cholera in this city are rapidly increas- ing. The new cases reported reach an average of fifty a day, while the deaths from the disease reach almost the same number. BUDA PESTH, Sept. 21.—The cholera tn this city is spreading among the wealthier classes, and considerable uneasiness has been caused by the fact. Neo Warrant for the Action. Up to noon today the marine hospital service had received nothing to confirm the report that the Spanish government had quarartined against vessels sailing from Jersey City after August 31, and Tampa after August 20. Dr. Wyman, in speaking of the matter, said that there was nothing to warrant such action by the Spanish government. Both cities, he sald, were free from disease. Some time ago there was one case of cholera at Jersey City, and about the same time one case of yellow fever was reported case was not yellow fever. Under these circumstances, it is probable that the De- partment of State will protest against the quarantine, if it has been ordered. KILLED BY TRAIN ROBBERS. A Tragic Affair Reported Near Ful- ton, Ky. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 21—It ts re- Ported in this city that a train on the New- port News and Mississippi Valley railroad was held up at Fulton, Ky., this morning, by train robbers. ‘The engineer, fireman and two passengers are reported killed. SPECULATION DULL. Wall Street Awaiting Action om the Silver Bill. Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Sept. 2%.-The course of speculation remains unchanged, with the efforts of both elements about neutralized,and the market in a state of dignified equilibrium. No radical change is possible until the proceedings at Wash- ington are satisfactorily terminated. There is a fair borrowing demand for ac- tive stocks, and shorts find considerable difficulty in making deliveries. The general scarcity of all classes of securities results in higher prices whenever any inquiry 1s | made for them. This fact explains the ral- lies of the past week, which have usually put in appearance during delivery hour and’ended with the close of business for the day. Today's market opened irregular and fea- tureless. London did nothing on this side, and is not anxious to, just yet. The re- duction of the Bank of Englaud rate to 31-2 per cent had as little effect in that market as it had tn our own. in spite of this reduction in the bank rate, there is a stronger tone noticeable in foreign ex- change, which appears most conspicuously in sixty-day bills, but demand bills are 1-4 per cent higher than yesterday. Brown Brothers advanced posted rates to 4.94 1-2a4.87, The gold movement, it is said, will attract ttle attention for the rest of the year, as no considerable shipments elther way ‘are ely. + ‘The process of redeeming clearing house certificates continues slowly to reduce the amount of these obligations now outstand- ing, which, with today’s retirement of $%50,- 000, is $31,890,000. Exchanges on the clearing house today amounted to $60,533,064; bal- ances, $4,422,403, and the subtreasury’s debit | balance, $1,170,904. Western roads report a decided increase in passenger iraffic, and notices have been issued to grain shippers saying that owing to the volume of passenger business grain {ars will of necessity be delayed in hand- ing. Railroad earnings for the second week this month show an encouraging improve- ment over first week’s reports, when the percentage of decreased earnings as compared with the corresponding week last year was 16.7 per cent. The reports of thirty roads show that for the second week the decrease is less than 12 per cent. Atchison decreased during the latter Period $133,000, Mexican Central $8928 and Lake Erie and Western $7,709. Although the last named road has a decrease for the above period its earnings since January 1 have increased $143,563 over corresponding period last year. Louisville and Nashville directors are said to be considering an option for the lease or purchase of the Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern, which was given when times were a trifle more uncertain than now and which will not be renewed on the present basis. The time in which advantage must be taken of this option has not yet expired and an effort is belng made to close the transaction at once. Money continues abundant with no spec- ial change in rates. Call money was plenty at 2 and 8 per cent, The railroad stocks which attracted the most attention today were Rock Island, St. Paul and Nashville, which were all strong at slight advances. The industrial group were conspicuously active within narrow limits, Distillers gaining most on early trading to 24, a gain of 11-4 per cent. The clearing house loan committee can- celed an additional $1,080,000 certificates later today, and called $090,000 for tomor- ro} ww. The last half hour was dull, with prices in — main strong, at slight advances for the ——— Early Fire at Petersburg. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. PETERSBURG, Va..

Elsy Banks Tries to Shoot Edward Archer This Afternoon. Elzy Banks, a drunken negro, who says he lives in “Hell’s Bottom,” created some excitement in alley in rear of C street northwest between 3d and 41-2 streets this afternoon about 3 o'clock by attempting to kill a colored man named Edward Accher. ‘The latter keeps a stable in the alley and he had some trouble with Banks. The lat- ter went away and returned with a pistol. He fired one shot at Archer, but the bullet did not take effect. After doing the shooting Banks remained about the alley until the arrival of several detectives and Policeman Schultze. The latter placed Banks under arrest and locked. him up. Banks was disarmed by a citizen. a THE MAVERICK RANK CASE. A Verdict of Not Guilty Ordered for Ex-President Potter.

They Spend Money at the Merry-Go- Round and Not in Saloons. There is an interesting as well as an amusing fight going on just now in Dis- trict government circles and one in which the temperance people are indirectly in- terested, as the affair appears to be a par- tial solution of the liquor question. Will- fam F. Ryan is the man on whom the fight is being made and it is all because he wants to run a merry-go-round, or flying horses, in South Washington. He has been on the same lot for some days, having paid his license of $10 per week instead of a similar amount annually, as in years gone by, making the annual’ tax $00.

But Patrick Smith, a saloon keeper a short distance away, objected, as did Act- jing Lieutenant of Police Smith. Now Mr. Ryan ts trying to overcome their objec- tions. So far as the saloon keeper is con- cerned, he says it is a matter of business with him, because many of the residents spend their nickels on the merry-go-round instead of “rushing the growler” and spending the money in Mr. Smith's saloon. ‘Now Mr. Ryan has had to employ a law- yer to present the numerous documents in | his case, besides enlisting the temperance ‘2 mixed western, 33a | People in his cause. ee DISTRICT “GOVERNMENT.

If proposed legislative action could in any way add to the security of depositors in national banks they would have cause for gratitude to their congressional Represent- atives. To the many bills introduced to increase the punishment for embezzlement by directors, officers or agents of national banks Representative Bryan of Nebraska has added one more. His bill provides as follows: “Every president, director, cashier, teller, clerk or agent of any association who em- bezgles, abstracts, or willfully misapplies any of the moneys, funds, or credits of the association shall be guilty of a misdemea- nor, and shall be imprisoned not less than five years nor more than ten years if the |amount embezzled is less than $10,000; and not less than ten years nor more than twen- ty-five years if the amount embezzled is $10,000 or more and less than $25,000; and not less thar. twenty-five years nor more than forty years if the amount embezzled is more than $2,000; * * © © and persons arrested under this’ act shall receive no other or better treatment or greater privileges while in custody before conviction or after con- viction than is accorded to persons in custo- dy for violation of other laws of the United tates.” To Reins A bill has been introduced in the House by Representative Bynum of Indiana which will have a somewhat revolutionary effect on the railway postal service if the principle it contains is° enacted into law. It provides for the reinstatement us fast as vacancles occur ,therein of those em- ployes of the railway postal service who Were discharged between the 15th of March and Ist of May, 1839. It will be remembered that just before President Cleveland re- tired at the end of his first term he placed the railway postal service under the civil service rules to take effect March 15. Pres- {dent Harrison extended the time until May 1, and Mr. Bynum asserts that the exten- sion thus gained was utilized for the dis- charge of democratic clerks. He charges that blank discharges were made out, dated previous to May 1, and used for dismissing employes as late as in July and August. He has, he says, endeavored to secure the reinstatement of these men, but failed be- cause of opposition from the clvil service commission. He now seeks relief for them by means of congressional action. A New National Bank Tax and Fund. Representative Bryan of Nebraska has introduced a bill to protect depositors in national banks. It provides that upon the first of each fiscal year there shall be due from every national bank @ tax of one- fourth of 1 per cent upon the average amount of deposits held in its custody dur- ing the last quarter of the preceding year. From this fund the controller of the cur- rency is authorized to pay to depositors in failed national banks the amounts of their claims. When the fund hes reached the sum of ten millions of dollars the controlier ts authorized to suspend the further collec- tion of the tax until such time as the fund shall fall below the sum of ten milions, the intention being to keep it at that sum. To prevent a contraction of the currency in cir- culation by the withdrawal of this ten mil- Mons the Secretary of the Treasury Is di- rected to issue an egual amount of green- backs and add them to the general fund of the treasury. The United States shall as- sume no liability to depositors under the bill, acting merely as trustee in thelr be- half in the distribution of money. Dispensing With Proofs of Loyalty. The House judiciary committee today or- dered a favorable report on the bill intro- duced by Mr. Oates of Alabama repealing that section of the statutes which requires | proof of loyalty during the war of the re- bellion as a prerequisite to being restored or admitted to the pension roll. Proof of loyalty is also dispensed with in applica- tions for bounty lands where the proof otherwise shows that the applicant is en- titled to it. ‘The bankruptcy bill was made the special order for the meeting on Tuesday next. The New Folding Room Contract. The sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, Col. Bright, has awarded to Frank N. Carver of this city the contract for the erection’ of the new building to be used as a folding room for the Senate, to be located on the ground immediately west of the Maltby | House. He was the lowest bidder at $6,550, | and is to turn the building over to the ser- eant-at-arms in a finished condition on the 25th of October of this year. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, Bills Introduced the Senate. This is quite-a District day in the Senate in regard to the introduction of bills. Sen- ator Harris put in four measures in a bunch. One is to regulate water main as- sessments, providing that hereafter assess- ments for laying water mains shall be at the rate of $1.25 for each lineal front foot against all lots or lines abutting on the streets. No lot is to be taxed twice and corner lots are to be taxed only on the front when the depth does not exceed 100 feet. In other cases corner lots are sub- Ject to be taxed at the usnal rates. Another bill gives the Commissioners au- thority to open, widen and extend existing alleys of the District to a width not less than forty feet or more than sixty, to run straight through the square from street to street. The third bill trom Senator Harris comes over from the last session. It is for the relief of Esther A. Keifer of this city, and her the sum of $2,036.61 purchase money | paid by her for lot 3, in square 837, plus the taxes, with Interest. This lot was sold to her by the corporation of Washington, which tailed to give a valld deed and conveyance. Massachusetts Avenue Extended. Senator Harris also introduced a joint resolution declaring Massachusetts avenue through the naval observatory grounds a public street. These - bills were all referred to the District com- mittee, as was also a_ bill _intro- duced by Senator Gibson providing for the appointment of a sealer and assistant | sealer of weights and measures in the Dis- trict of Columbia.
