Mount Orders an Investigation of the Lawless Deed. : WILL PUNISH PERPETRATORS VERSAILLES, Ind., September —A mob of 400 infuriated men last night lynched Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon, William Jenkins and Hiney Shuler. They were taken from the authorities. ‘The men had been arrested for burglary. Frequent robberies had enraged the citi- zens of the county, and the mob was com- posed of citizens from Milan, Sunman and other towns. The mob on horseback entered the town an hour after midnight and called out Jailer Kenan, who, upon refusing to give up the keys, was overpowered. The mob soon pushed its way into the cell rooms, and in their impatience first fired on the five prisoners and then dragged them to @ tree, a square from the jail door and hung them up. ‘Two Already Wounded. Andrews and Gordon had already been wounded, having been shot several times while attempting to rob a store at Correct last Saturday night. Shuler was in jail for attempted bur- glary, and Levi and Jenkins had just been indicted by the grand jury for robbery. They hal failed to give bond, and were put in jail last evening. It is thought that Levi and Shuler were both dead from the shots fired by the mob when taken out of the jail. The bandages that were on the wounded men were found later this morning along the street, where they had been torn off as the men were dragged alons. Lyle Levi was an old soldier, and bore on his face wecunds received during the civil war while fighting for the Union. None of tl lynchers are known. They all came from a distance, presumably from the neighborhood of Correct, where the two men were arrested Saturday night. Gov. Mount Makes Inquiries. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 15.— Gev. Mcunt has sent the following to the sheriff of Ripiey county: Wire me at once the particulars of lynchihg that has occurred in your county. I further direct that you proceed imme- diately with all the power you can com- mand to bring to justice all parties guiity of participation in the murder of the five men alleged to h: e been lynched. Such law ess is intolerable, and all the pow- er of tke stzete, af me ry, will be vig- 'y employed for the arrest and pun- ail parties implicated. MES A. MOUNT, Governor.” tory in Detail. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 15.—A spe- cial to the Evening Post from Osgood, Ind., say Incensed by numerous deépredations, re- peated burglaries and dayligat robberi the people of Ripley county have taken the law into their own hands, and meted out to the perpetrators a punishment greater ded by the law. Five men, who been a terror to the ettizens of nty, met their death at the hands of an enraged populace, and when the citizens of Versailles, the county seat, arose this morning, it was to find the bodies of these five men dangling from as many linibs of an elm tree in the center of the square. Stout ropes, not over six feet in i had served to send each to i their feet were but a few inches ground, while their hands and feet had been securely pinioned with strong ropes. Versailles is a town of, some 40) peor It is one of the oldest in the state, and ai- though it is five miles from a railroad sta- tion and has no telegraphic communication with the outside world, it is still the county seat. The public Victims of Lawless Gang. For four or five years, and even longer, the farmers of the county have been the victims of a lawless gang, who, apparently lacking in fear, have plied their vocation to the terror of the people, for they seem- ingly have had no visible means of earn- ing a living. : Farmers would come into town with a bunch of cattle or load of farming products and next morning they would be found along the roadside suffering from a wound and minus the proceeds of their sale. Old German farmers have been visited, and both men and women have been sub- jected to all the tortures that a vicious mind could sugg Aged German women ave been forced to stand upon a red-hot ove in an effort to compel them to dis- close the hiding place cf some supposed treasure in the house. These depredation: rave continued unceasingly. Arrests ha’ been made, but the guilty parties have covered up their lawlessness, and it was seldom that co ‘tion followed. During the past week robberies had in- creased alarmingly. On last Saturday werd was received by the sheriff that the store of Wooley Bros., at Correct, Ind., ten miles from here, was to be entered. The information was given by one of the gang’s confederates who had been under suspicion. Sheriff Henry Bushing arrang: ed that his informant should accompany them, and securing five deputies they went to the place. Sheriff Bushing concealed himself in the cellar, while his deputies were stationed at a convenient distance cutside. Shortly after midnight ihe gang reached Wooley Bros.” store. Clifford Gor- don and the sheriff's informant were desig- nated to break into the building. Gordon himself effected an entrance, and just as he stepped inside the sheriff grabbed him. Both pulled pistols at the same time and began firing. Bert Andrews was with the robbers and he joined in the fusillade, while the deputies came to the assistance of the sheriff. Sheriff Was Wounded. Some thirty shots were fired. The sheriff was shot through the hand and Gordon was shot several times. Three pistol balls entered his body, and he was also shut in the leg. Gordon and Andrews succeeded in escaping a1 d came to Osgood, where they were arrested. The robbers had driven out of the place in a buggy belonging to Lyle Levi, end from tnformation subse- quently gathered it was learned that the robbery had been planned at the home of Wm. Jenkins. The two latter were ar- rested as eccerssories. All were taken io the jail at Versailles. Henry Schuiler, 24 years old, was put in the jail for robbing the barber shop at Osgood last week. Levi was fifty-seven years of age, Gerdon tventy-two, Andrews thirty, and Jenkins thirty-seven. While the citizens have not been able to fix the various rob- beries upon these men, they were thought to be part of a gang that has committed most of them. When it became known that they were in jail, it was quietly suz- gested by the victims and sympathizers that “justice” be summarily dealt ihe prisoners. It was 1 o'clock this morning when horsemen scemed to come from ail quarters and dismounted on a_ hillside near Versailles. Little time was lost, for the details had been prearranged. Quietly, about 400 men marched into the town. The ( The [ledal [edicine Isthe I'lodel Medicine: The only medal awarded to sarsaparilla at the World’s Fair, 1893, at Chicago, was awarded to .

Candidates Selected at Republican Cenvention at Hagerstown Yesterday Special Disp: ich to ‘The Evering Star. HAGERSTOWN, September 1 ‘The fol- lowing ticket was nominated by the repub- ican county convertion, which inet here yesterday: For the house of delegates, Jos. S. McCartney, Harvey S. Bomberger and John J. Koontz; county commissioners, Daniel R. Doub and John W. Kaylor; clerx of the circuit court, T. A. Brown; register of wills, John E. Wagaman; sheriff, Theo- dore B. Embry. The resolutions affirmed adherence to the St. Louis platform; pledge the candidates to the legislature to any sound money man who may be presented as the most de- rable candidate for the United $ Senate; severely criticise Senator Gor- man, and praise the present republican county administration. The Scott-McComas faction had the con- vention well in hand from start to finisn, the Cook-Wellington men throwing but few, if any, obstacles in the way of harmo- nious proceedings, which proved a great disappointment to the large number of lookers-on in attendance. The ticket, as a whole, is conceded to be a strong one, and, contrary to previous ex- pectations, will not be knifed to any ex- tent by the Wellington-Cook men, who are already showing a disposition to throw aside men for the party’s good. The legislative portion of the ticket cat be relied upon as solid for Judge McComas if successful at the approaching election, and should the judge be presented to suc- ceed Senator Gorman. J. J. Koontz, one of the nominees, has served several terms in the legislature, and is a stanch friend of Judge McComas. ee GULDENSUPPE MURDER CASE. Queens County Grand Jury Summons Thirty-Nine Witnesses. NEW YORK, September 15.—The Queens county grand jury at Long Island City to- day began hearing the testimony in the case of William Guldensuppe, who is al- leged to have been murdered in a house at Woodside, town of Newtown, by Martin Thorn and Mrs. Nack. Some thirty-nine witnesses were sum- moned to appear before the grand jury. John Gotha, the New York barber who alleges that Thorn told him_he killed Gul- densuppe, was in the district attorney's office early, and was very nervous. —————— Chicago Burglar - Wounded.’ CHICAGO, September 15. — Policeman George Grafton at an early hour this morning shot and fatally wounded George Woodward, as he and three others were endeavoring to effect an entrance to the residence of J. W. Lee, on West Monroe street. A second burglar was wounded, but his associates rallied to his assistance and the three managed to escape. —— Stenmer Mississippi Floated. NEW YORK, September 15.—The Atlantic Transport Line steamer Mississippi, which ran aground south of Fort Wadsworth as she was coming up the narrows last night, has been floated with no apparent damage. The Mississippi was run aground in trying to avoid collision with a sailing vessel that had tacked across her bows. ee Steamer Hayden Brown a Wreck. SAN FRANCISCO, September 15.—The Hayden Brown, bound from Baltimore for Puget Sound ports, is almost a wreck at Montevideo, according to advices received by the merchants’ exchange. The vessel was towed into that on September 11 with nearly all her boats gone and her rigging very badly damaged, the results of @ storm several days previous, .knee pants and rubber-soled shoes. MESSENGER OF GoD. Pennsylvanian Comes on to Instract the President. George W. Altland, whose home is at Goldsboro, York county, Pa., was among those who called at the White House sés- terday to see the President. He did not call as an office-seeker, but wanted to advise the President upon the matter of conduct- ing the affairs of the countr: When Policeman Sawyer saw him enter the grounds, carrying a bundle of sticks in his hand, his strange demeanor aroused his suspicions. hen, when jhe said he had heen sent there by God to confer with the President, the officer realized that he was only one of the many so-called presidential cranks, and he took, charge of him. Alt- land raised no objection to being arrested, for he said he was being directed by God, and he knew no harm would befall him. At the third precinct station the prisoner gave his age as forty-eight years, and said this was his first visit to Washington. “You know,” he said, “there are three branches of the government, and God has sent me here to instruct the President in them.” As with most of these alleged cranks, Aitland imagines himself wealthy, and can- not understand why so distinguished and influential a man should be held in a police cell. He has been declared insane by the police surgeons, and will be sent over to St. Elizabeth's for treatment. Sanitary Officer Frank, who has charge of the tase; will write to the Pennsylvania authorities and make inquiries about the unfortunate man. Should his relatives ap- pear he.may:be turned over to them, as he does not seem to be dangerous. - —_+—_., BASKET BALL LE. Organization Effected nt a Meeting Last Night.

Well-Known Family Estate Purchas- ed by Charles W. Slagle. The property in the northeastern part of the District known as Deanwood has been purchased by Mr. Charles W. Slagle of Baltimore. The transaction was made through Duckett & Dent, ‘teal estate brok- ers, of this city, and“was One of the largest real estate deals mate in the county for months. The property’ iS located on an elevated piece of ground, and has a com- manding view of the,city,,as well as of the Potomac river and Eastern branch.

SEVEN NEW CASES AT EDWARDS One New Case Reported at New Orleans This Afternoon. + BOARD OF HEALTH ACTIVE JACKSON, Miss., September 15.—The city is completely demoralized and business is at a standstill. The people continued to pour out of the city during all of last nizht and today, and by midnight fully two- thirds of the population will have gone. Their fears as to the suspicious cases at Edwards, twenty-five miles distant, are in no way allayed, but their apprehension grows hourly. Dr. Guiteras, the government expert, ar- rived at Edwards at 4 a.m. today from Mo- bile on a special train. In reply to a tele- gram asking for information on the situa- tion at Edwards he replied that he could make no statement for publicazion. It is understood, however, that Dr. Guiteras has already reported to the surgeon general at Washington and that he confirms seven genuine cases of yellyw fever, and there are many suspects. At 12:30 p.m. Mayor Wharton posted a notice that he is advised by the state board of health that it would be well to get all the people out of town, provided they de- sired to leave at all. New Case at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, September 15.—Dr. Frederick Loeber, an eminent physician and head of Touro infirmary, this afternoon reports one case of yellow ‘ever in that institution. SITUATION AT MOBILE, Reports From Dr. Guiteras, the Gov- ernment Expert. Surgeon General Wyman has received the following dispatch from Dr. Guiteras, the government expert at Mobile, Ala., cun- cerning the yellow fever situation there: “Patient at City Hospital is still living. The case of Besarge, reported by me as suspicious, I have not been able to sce again. The subsequent history makes the case more suspicious. Bosarge has not been out of the city nor in any apparent way connected with Springs. case, Goubt, people from Ocean I have just been shown another which I have pronounced, without yellow fever. He is a moiorman; arent connection h other cases. e heard the history of another case which is very suspicious. The cases are not grouped in any one quarter of the city.

Dr. Guiteras ha dered to proce amine a suspicious case of sickness. A dispatch was received from Fontain- bleau, Miss., the site of the detention c frem Surgeon White, stating Gaines reports one new at Barclay. nurse and rations were ordered there. The sergecn general ordered oy telegraph 200 wall tents, twelve by fourteen feet, to be shipped immediately from St.Louis to Surgeon Young at Memphis, Teénn., there to be held till further orders.

A telegram was received by the surgeon general of the marine hospital service today from Dr. Carter,dated at Fontainbleau, say ing that he had appointed guards for the towns of Perkinsan and Barclay. SS MR. WIGHT’S RETURN. District Commissioner Again on Duty After a Month's Vacation. Mr. John B. Wight of the board of Dis- trict Commissioners returned today after a vacation of a month. He appears to be in excellent health, and the rest undoubt- edly was of great benefit to him. He ap- peared at the District buiiding at the usual hour this morning, and was busily occu- pied for some time clearing away the ac- cumulation of mail and papers which have found their way to his desk during his ab- sence. He also saw a number of callers, both employes of the District, and others. Commissioner Wight spent almost tire vacation at Martha’s Vineyard. visited Boston for two days, however, for the purpose of inspecting the police and fire departments cf the hub. One of the pclice. commissioners and the chief of po- lice of Boston had just returned from a tour of the large cities of Europe, but were not at all communicative in regard to the ccnditions they met abroad, preferring not to express themselves until they had filed an official report of their journey. A copy of this report is to be furnished Commis- sioner Wight, and it will undoubtedly be of great interest and may contain sugges- ticns which will result in the betterment of the local police department. In the opinion of Commissioner Wight, Beston’s police department is by no means superior to that of the District. of Colum- bia. The station houses at the Massachu- setts capital are more spacious thar those here, and they are provided with steel cells, but in other respects the Commissione> thinks that Washington has no reason to shrink from the comparison. While making the rounds of the fire de- Partment, Commissioner Wight was shown a horseless fire engine, which is attach=d to the Boston fire department. It is a pow- erful engine and easily operated. The Com- missioner was very much impressed with this engine, and though he did not express himself on the subject, it is a possibility that some time in the future Washington may be supplied with such a contrivance for fighting flames.
