THREATENED ATTACK ON THE JAIL, Four Thousand Persons Gathered— Jailer Horrigan's Commendable Coolness ~How the Crowd Was Used by the Police. Friday night's Iynching came near making more troublo yesterday and last night. It was only the prompt and effective action of the municipal authorities that prevented what might have become a serious outbreak and the foresight of Sheriff Boyd which to remove to Liucoln a couple here in- of the duced hi prisoners whose presence under preseit state of affairs was moro or less of a standing invitation for further trouble was perhaps the only thing that prevented a repe- tition of the terrible proceedure of the night before, Ail day yestorday there was talk on the streots and in the business marts of another d on the county jail, the purpose of which was to capturo Jake Price, who is now awaiting trial for the murder of Mrs. Fannio “Tate, and serve him in the same fashion as they had served Smith, [t was also rumored that Dixon, the private soldier who is ac- cused of murdering Corporal Carter at Fort Niobrara and was confined here awaiting trial, might also suffer severe treatment the excitement of the moment. Taken to Lin n. 1t was these rumors that induced the offi- cials to remove these two prisoners to Lin- coln, to guara as far as possible agalnst a re- petition of the scones of Friday night. The knowledge of the change was made public in the evening papers,but an unforescen and un- fortunate occurrence served to furmsh a pre- text for keoping up the trouble. A complaint which was filed by County At~ torney Mahoney, charging fifteen men with murderin the first degree, was thenature of it. 1t was virtually a prosecution of ringleaders of the lynchers for murdor, in order tnat the aignity of the law gught be maintafned. As nows of tho move spread it was evident that it was very unpopular, and it was de- clared on all sides tuat it would be inpossible 10 secure a conviction of any of the parties. Participants Arrested. Tho blotter at the contral polica station bears the following names: Ed. Neu fler, Patrick O'Heine, John Fritz, R. G. Bloom, H. H. Brandies, Ed.

After each namo is placed the charge of murderin the first degreo, At 5 p. m. the seven prisoners were ar- rajgned in police court and the complaint filed by County Attorney Mahoney read by Assistant Prosecutor Mortarity. The docu ment charged the prisonors with unlawfully, purposely snd deliberately making an suult, with premeditated malice, to kill and murder George Smith, Tho complaint fur- ther charges that the prisoners did fix a vopo about the neck and choke, strangle and kill George Swith, Refusod Bail. At the conclusion of the reading of tho complaint the prosecuter stated that he could 1ot say when Mr. Mahoney would be ready o 'ry the cases, but probably some time Monday, An effort was at once made by At- torney Ed Crowell on behalf of his Bloom, O'Donohue and Nseuschaffer, to get the prisoners released on bail, County At- torney Mahoney was seen, but positively re fused to allow bail to any amount to be taken. Mr. S. P. Morse offered £100,000 bail for his manager, R. G. Bloom, but it was pos- fuively declined. O'Dounohue also bond, but Mahoney schae ity as- clients, offered a largo could muot be touched.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, PAID A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Thousands Watch Parnell's itemains Start on the Journey to Dublin, Loxpoy, Oct. 10.-~An enormous concourso of people surrounded Walsingham Terraco this morning when the casket contaiuing the remains of tho late Charies Stewurt Parnell were taken from the house.

Dunriy, Oct. 10.—Parnell’s funeral prom ises to bo one of the most imposing cver held in Ireland. Spocial trains from all parts of the country will bring tens of thousands of mourners to Dublin tomorrow. I'hero was a terriole scene in the house when the casket was about to te removed. The grief of Mrs, Parnell was most poignant and she could with difticulty bo persuaded to allow the coffin to bo taken away. As a wark of respect to the dead the biinds of many houses along the route of the funeral procession were drawn down. On every side were signs of sincere sympathy. As the hearse passed them, despite the down-pouring rvain, tho spectators 100k off their hats and stood uncovered until the last carriage had gone by, A dozon car riages followed the hearse. They con- tained Mrs. Diokingon (Painell's sister), Henry Purnell, John Redmond and a number of oher mombers of pariiament, a deputation from the Dublin corporation, and the leader- ship committee. At tho railroad station at Brighton tho funeral party waited an hour, the building being packed with peoplo anxious to get n glimpse of the cusket. When the train containing the body of Mr. Paruell arrived at \Wilsden, the junction of the Loudon & Novthwestern railway with the roads from the east und south, a great crowd rushed toward the carviage in_ which the remains wero deposited. As the doors wore opencd cveryone reverently bared the houd and stood with silent expoctancy, ap- parently waiting for some leading Paruollite to speak. It was found, however, thut time would not permit of any ceremony. All that it was possible to do was to un- cover the coftin, whick was lying in a case in which it had béen placed for transit from Brighton, and to form a columu of thie people who had assembled and allow them to pass in single file through the railwap carringe. ‘This was successfully carried out. Many persons in the lne were observed to be moved to tears. Delegatos from scveral branches of the Londow league placed wreaths upon the bier. Mrs. Parnell’s wreath was visible at the head of the casket when the funeral train reached Willesden Junction. It bore, in letters beautifully and arustically formed of flowers, the words “To my own true love, my husband, my king.” Mr. Parnoll's sister, Miss Dickinson, says that 1o will of hor brother has been found and she does not believe that he left any, as he had said that he did not intend to make one. She thinks that he wished his brother, Howard Parnell, an American, o inherit bis property.
