* » LYNCHED BY A MOB NEGRO BRUTE PAYS THE PENALTY OF HIS FOUL CRIME. " eae ‘ fie Troops Offer No Farther Resist- ance on Account of the Feeling ‘Against Them—A Thousand Eager Hands Pull the Wretch Up to the *\ Limb of a Tree—Ne Attempt Made ar to Disguise. y Columbus, Ohio, June 5.—A special trom Urbana, Ohio, says: Click Miteh- yell, the negro brute, has paid the pen- alty of his foul crime with his life. An ‘outraged people have taken the law ‘into their own hands and meted out to Mitchell the punishment he so richly deserved, and have obeyed the com- mand of his prostrate victim, by lynch- fog him. The sensational and unfortunate events of the night intensified the feelings against Mitchell, if that was possible, and the determination be- came general that the brute should not leave the town alive. After the firing of the militia on the crowd of spectators during the early morning hours, Goy. Bushnell ordered Company B, Third infantry, of Spring- field. to come here at once. The Spring- field militia arrived and left their special train on the outskirts of the city near the water works. The com- pany. thirty-six strong, under Capt. Bradbury, marched up town to the jail where they found it surrounded by 2,000 people. The company marched 4nto the jail yard and were met by Hon. M. Lewis, who said to Capt. Bradbury: “We don't want you now.” “Who are you?” “IT am the deputy sheriff.” replied Lew “There is the sheriff over there.” pointing to Mayor Ganson, who at that moment came forward from the crowd oa the court house steps and proceeded to address the militia and the crowd. The mayor assured the militia their services were not ywanted, that the people were law- abiding and would assist him in pre serving order; that the company could leave the court house yard; when their services were needed he would send for them. The Springfield com- pany, without waiting for further or- ders, marched down the street to the depot without as much as the sheriff secing them. The local military company had pre- viously refused to serve longer and went to the second story of the sher- iff’s residence and tried to sleep. With no resistance offered the crowd at once made a rush for the side door. Two strong and determined men kicked it down in short order and gained admission to the jail. the crowd following. They did not wait to un- lock the door to Mitchell’s cell, but burst the lock with a sledge hammer and the door soon flew open. Mitchell was standing in his cell and did not offer any resistance and uttered no word. Some one in the crowd had a rope da it was placed around the ‘brute’s neck and +he crowd made for “he dcor, Mitchell following at the end. In going down the steps on the outside of the jail Mitchell fell down and the rope slipped off his neck. The crowd surrounded him, jumped on him like a thousand hungry dogs after one bone. The brute was kicked, beaten and al- most killed then and there. The rope was quickly slipped over his head again, and a rush was made for a tree in the southeastern corner of the court yard, in front of the court house. |The rope was thrown over a good, \strong limb, and a thousand willing hands pulled the wretch up. The end ‘was tied to an iron fence, and Mitchell avas left hanging there in full view of several thousand people, to die the death he had brought upon himself. The men ing part in it made no at- tempt to disguise themselves, but it is not known who did the work, and the person who attempts to find out will get himself into serious trouble. This much is known, however, they did their work well, and that is all the ople wish to know. His body was left hanging for an hour or more, and the people of the city flocked to see it. ‘All classes of people came to witness the spectacle. It was finally cut down and placed in the undertaker’s box, and left lying in the court house yard. open to the public gaze. Gov. Bushnell has arrived here to fnvestigate the trouble, especially the action of the troops. While the Ur- "bana company is overwhelmed with local sentiment against their action, they are also liable for abandoning their post of duty. Capt. Leonard withdrew the guards about 7 a. m. and the Springfield company took or- ders from the mayor instead of the sheriff when they turned back from the court house. Goy. Bushnell was attending an encampment at Wooster and was met by a delegation from here on his return to Columbus. These ¢itizens from Urbana asked for protec- tion by troops of Sheriff McLain, against whose life threats have been freely made, and if he was here now it is believed that there would be trouble again. Sheriff Me Lain has gone to Dayton. He escaped by the ‘back door of the jail and claims that dynamite was being prepared to blow -him up. In the excitement and bit- terness that prevails it is almost im- possible to get at the facts as to the responsibility for the loss of life, but at is genera‘ly claimed that Sheriff Me- Lain ordered the troops to fire. It is ‘believed there will be a thorough in- vestigation into the action of the may- ;or as well as into the action of the sheriff and the military officers. Rather Herote Treatment. Denver, June 5.—Dr. Lewis F. Pres- ton has been arrested on a warrant charging him with the murder of Da- vid Prank, a cigarmaker from Brook- fyn, N. Y. Dr. Preston is a consump- tive specialist. It is said that his method of treatment is to run a trocha or hollow needle through the walls of ,the chest and introduce an electric wire into the lungs. Frank died under ‘tthe treatment. The doctor sent a cer- *tificate to the health department giv- ing consumption and weakness of the ‘heart as the reason of death. THE AX WILL SWING. Wholesale Appointments of Pest- masters Are Expected Soon. Washington. June 6.—The rule an- nounced shortly after the administra- tion assumed charge that postmasters would be allowed to serve out their full terms unless removed for cause, has been modified, and it is expected that wholesale appointments to post- offices will be made soon. It was of- ficially announced that the president and the postmaster general will con- sider as having expired all postoffices which are due to expire between now and July 5. The reason assigned for the modification of the announced pol- icy of the administration is that it is the desire of the postoffice depart- ment to fill as many offices as possible before the expiration of the fiscal July lot in order that accounts may be begun with a new quarter. THE WHISKY OUTPUT. Kentucky Distillers May Consoli- date to Control the Production. Louisville, June 6—Local distillers deny that there is any change in the status of negotiations which have been in progress for the past year looking to a consolidation of the 115 plants in the state and the reduction of their output. The whisky men, however, have not abandoned their plan to con- solidate the distilleries 60 that twen- ty-five of the largest of them will be able to make all the whisky made by the entire 115 in the state. This will result in a vast saving in running ex- penses and is said will stop overpro- duction. An Eastern syndicate, it is said, stands ready to put $8,000,000 into the deal as soon as the distillers reach an agreement and the question of valuation of the property is settled. MINISTER TO PORTUGAL. Townsend of Pa.—Roberts of N. Y. for U. 8. Treasurer.

Washington, June 3. — The senate made greater progress on the tariff Dill than on any day since the debate opened, completing more than half of the important metal schedule. The speaking was by the Democratic sena- tors, the Republican senators taking no part in the debate except at rare intervals to answer questions which would expedite the advance of the Dill: Messrs. Jones and Vest urged numer- ous amendments embodying in the main the Wilson rates, but these were rejected with only one exception. This exception related to anvils, on which Mr. Vest secured a reduction of the committee rate from 2 to 13-4 cents per pound. It was the first change made without she assent of the com- mittee, and it was due mainly to the listless manner of many senators in voting. Early in the day Mr. Tillman secured the adoption of a resolution di- recting the judiciary committee to in- quire into the recent decisions agaiust the South Carolina dispensary law with a view to reporting such legisla- tion as might be Jesirable. Washington, June 4. — The senate again made good progress on the tariff pill. covering about ten pages of the metals schedule and almost complet- ing it. The formal contest against the measure was maintained, but all amendments tending to change the Dill as reported were voted down and the finance committee sustained. The de- bate was mainly of a technical char- acter, the Republican senators contin- uing the policy of refraining from making speeches. Before the tariff bill was taken up Senator Tillman gave the senate an- other hour of exciting controversy over the proposed sugar investigation. He defended himself from published charges relative to his administration of the governorship of South Carolina, and then moved that the committee having charge of the sugar resolution be discharged from further considera- tion of it, thus bringing the subject directly before the senate. Mr. Gal- linger of New Hampshire, in behalf of the committee, made a spirited protest against this course, and also urged that the senate should not turn aside from its public work to investigate charges affecting -the private charac- ter of senators. There were frequent lively exchanges between Mr. ‘fillman, Mr. Gallinger and Mr. Jones, but in the end Mr. Tillman withdrew his mo- tion. A bill was passed for a public build- ing at San Angelo, Tex., to cost $100,- 000. Mr. Vest offered a resolution. which was adopted, reciting that the skeletons of American soldiers killed at Buena Vista in 1847 were now ex- humed, and asking the state depart- ment to investigate the subject and re- port the facts to congress. A letter was read in this connection from Con- sul General Crittenden saying the matter should receive the attention of the authorities at Washington. A clipping was included stating that the bones of American soldiers were bleaching in the sun. oe IN THE HOUSE. The house proceedings were en- livened by a singular incident, the at- tempt of Mr. Terry of Arkansas to se- cure consideration as a privileged mat- ter, of a resolution for the immediate appointment of the committee on for- eign affairs. It was ruled out of or- der and an appeal taken from the de- cision of the chair was laid on the table by a strict party vote. Mr. Simpson, the Populist leader, was ab- sent and several bills were passed by unanimous consent. The Frye bill to prevent collisions on certain harbors, rivers and inland waters of the United States and the senate resolution for the relief of the El Paso flood suf- ferers. amended so as to make the ap- propriation of $10,000 available out of the unexpended balance of the appro- priation for the Mississippi flood suf- ferers, were passed, and the confer- ence report on the Indian appropria- tion bill was adopted. real Washington, June 6. — Capt. A. D. Smith. of the Cuban ermy, spent con- siderable time with the senate com- mittee on foreign relations. In a brief interview with a representative of the Associated Press he said: “The Cuban army is now in better condition to resist the Spaniards and to main- tain the fight for independence than it has been since the beginning of the war. Gen. Gomez has a well disci- plined army of about 40,000 men who are determined to hold out until their efforts shall be crowned with victory. Our soldiers are rapidly procuring arms, and every day serves to put them on a better footing in this re- spect. Our troops enjoy a vast ad- vantage over the Spaniards in that they are not injuriously affected by the climate. Furthermore, we have no difficulty in feeding out troops. In the portion of the country where the Cuban troops are in control the pro- visions are protected and we draw our supplies from this source. Our commissary is, therefore, regularly re- newed and our supplies are received in quantities quite sufficient to meet all our wants.” In reply to a question, Capt. Smith said: “All talk about autonomy and of Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much breath wasted. There is not a man in the Cuban army who will agree to accept anything short of absolute independence.” Washington, June 8.—The senate dis- posed of the lumber paragraph, which has been more stubbornly contested than any feature of the bill thus far. by defeating the motion of Senator Vest to place white pine on the free list—20 to 38. The contest was main- ly significant in breaking party lines. which have been maintained with few exceptions during the early stages of the debate. The debate preceding the vote was at times very breezy owing to the break of political lines. A gen- eral discussion of the future pro- gramme on the bill occurred before the senate adjourned. It led to a statement by Mr. Aldrich, in charge of the bill, that the committee would probably submit amendments to the sugar schedule. For this reason he announced that the sugar schedule would be passed over to-morrow and the tobacco schedule taken up. See aia IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Bailey, the minority leader. was 1m nis seat when the ‘house MmetTorcae first time in a fortnight. On motion of Mr. Dinsmore of Arkansas the sen- ate resolution to permit Carlos Gut- tierrez of Salvador to be received as a cadet at West Point was apopted, and on motion of Mr. Morris of Minnesota. the senate bill to amend the act to au- thorize the construction of a steel bridge across the St. Louis river fas passed. Mr. McMillin called attention to the fact that the last bill had not been considered by any committee of the present house (it had been passed the last hour). “We are working up the remnants of the last house,” he said. The senate bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across Pearl river, Miss., was passed. Mr. Grosven- or then moved an adjournment. “As long the the Cuban resolution and the bankruptcy bill are undisposed of,” interposed Mr. Bailey before the vote was taken, “we feel constrained to resist these motions to adjourn.” The opposition scored its first victory this session when, on a rising vote, the motion to adjourn was defeated—79 to 80. The opposition cheere dthe an- nouncement. Mr. Grosvenor immedi- ately demanded the ayes and nayes, which were ordered. The roll call re~ versed the previous vote and the mo- tion to adjourn was carried—91 to 79; present and not voting, 11. Mr. Terry made the point of no quorum and the further point that the house could not adjourn for more than one day without a quorum. The speak- er declined to hear him, calling at- tention to the fact that with those present and not voting a quorum was present. He then announced the house adjourned till Thursday. WILL SEND THE MONEY. Grain Donated for Famine Sufferers Will Be Turned Into Cash. Washington, June 9.—Lewis Klopsch, publisher .of the Christian Herald, New York, which had undertaken to procure cargoes of grain to be sent to the famine sufferers in India, has no- tified the navy department that the grain on hand will be sold and the money forwarded instead, as the best and speediest means for relief. Ac cordingly the department has aban- doned its efforts ‘to secure a steamship at New York to transport the grain to Bombay. Mr. Klopsch writes that the delay in securing the ship was one of the reasons for the change of plan. Then, too, the Indian roads at this time are very difficult of passage, while the natives have been made to believe by unscrupulous native grain dealers that the Americans have poisoned the wheat that was to be sent to them, and they refuse to eat any of it under any circumstances. ELEVATOR DROPPED. The Rope Broke and Several Per- sons Were Seriously Injured. New York, June 9.—An elevator on the Park Row side of the postoffice, which is used in carrying freight and employes, fell from the fifth floor to the basement.

FOLEY MURDER TRIAL, ” Young Man Charged With Killing His Mother and Sister. Liberty, Mo., June 9. — William S. Foley, charged with the murder last November of his aged mother and his sister, was placed on trial here. The court room was crowded and the trial, because of the prominence of the Foleys and the atrocity of the crime, promises to create sensations. ci REGULAR TURKS, Serious Excesses Committed by the Troops in Epirus. Athens, June 9. — It is officially an- nounced that the Turks have commit- ted serious excesses in Epirus, violat- ing women, defiling churches and en- gaging in general pillage. The Turkish irregulars. it is further announced, have committed similar excesses in the villages around Larissa. Why She Gave It Up. “Did that young Mr. Croesus who’s so attentive to you ask you to give up the bicycle?” asked the scornful bloomer girl. “No, he didn’t,” indignantly replied the young woman, who had locked up her bloomers and put her bicycle away in the basement. “Well, it’s mighty funny that you should give up the bicycle, just when a rich young man who doesn't ride be- comes devoted to you. Didn’t he say anything about bicycles or bloomers?” “He has never mentioned them,” said the girl who had given them up, and then she added, as she looked signiti- cantly at the costume of the girl in bloomers: “The only thing he said was that he agimired a little dignity in a young woman.” Thereupon there was enough indig- nation on both sides to stock a church dissension.—Chicage Post. Corked Bottles at Sea. Numbers of experimerts have been made to test the speed and destination of corked bottles thrown into the sea at various portions of the world. The most remarkable example ever heard of was that in which a bottle trav- eled 6,000 miles in about two years and a half, roughly, at the rate of six and a half miles a day. It traveled from 63 degrees north latitude and 60 de- grees west longitude to Western Aus- tralia. Didn’t Scare Him a Bit.

There was on exhibition last week. in the Twin Cities, what is said to be the most completely-appointed and magnificent railroad train that ever ran on wheels. It is one of the two new vestibuled trains that are to make the daily run between Minneapolis and Chicago on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road. Conservative railroad men re- gard it as an object lesson, surpassing any before offered in the sumptuous possibilities of American railroad trav- el, and George M. Pullman, whose com- pany built the palaces on wheels. has pronounced it the finest ever construct ed. These two trains, to run between the Twin Cities and Chicago, are alike in construction, equipment and finish. The cars are of new designs, mounted on Pullman six-wheel trucks, and have the vestibule extending the full width of the carriage, making a solid train from the baggage to the rear coach. It is lighted with electricity, and also equipped with the Pintsch gas-lighting system. The appointments of the come partment car are gorgeous. It is sixty- nine feet eight inches in length; con tains nine separate apartments, two drawing rooms and seven state rooms each, with complete toilet and sanitary facilities cleverly concealed im the dressing cases and plush-covered otto- mans. The drawing rooms and state rooms are finished in vermilion wood, St. Jago mahogany and Circassian wal nut. The sleeping care are about 70 feet in length from platform to platform. There are sixteen sections in each sleeping car, and the finish throughout is of highly-polished vermilion wood with marquetry designs. The berths are of extra length, and the upholstery is of royal blue plush. The smoking. passenger and dining cars are on a similar scale of beautiful finish and convenience. The train consists of seven cars, the Panther, Angelo, Tal- pot, La Crosse, Maiden Rock, Savan-~ na ard a combination car. vA young father in Newark, N.
