was entirely surrounded by the impatient mob. The hour set for the final act had arrived, and those who wero to bo the exo- outioners were at hand Declded to Hang Mim. Bofore Miller had beeB brought from tho Jafl Mr. Ray, the father of the girls, had+| changed his mind about the burning. He had a lingering doubt as to the man being the murderer, and felt that while it would be an awlul crime to hang an ianocent man, it would be worse to burn him, and Miller should be hanged instead of burned. This was agreed to and a rush was made for the ail. : Chisf of Polico Mahoney of Cairo was just leaving and they shouted for him not to close the door. - Before he could have dono #0 the mob rushed in and seized tho prisoner. Ho was stripped naked and his shirt was tied around his loins, A long chain was placed around his neck and body and he was led through the strects, followed by thous- ands of people to the depot, near which place the platform had been vlaced. He was lifted on the platform and shouts of “‘Set 1t on fire,” “Burn him,” werc heard. Last Act of the Mob's Madness. The chain was taken from his body and hooked arourid his neck. A man climbed a tolegraph pole and the long ead of the chain was passed up to him and he made it fast %0 the cross-arm. This took up all the slack, ana the other men brought a long forked stick which was placed between Miller's hips and his body was lifted up several feot and allowed to drop. It is thought the first fall broke his neck, but it was repeatod. Then numerous shots were fired into his body and he was left hanging until it was certain that lite was extinct. Then, asif their desire for blood had not been satiated, they set fire 1o the inflammable material under him, which had originally been intended to burn him to death and the corpse was roasted and charred out of resemblance to the human form. MUTILATED AFTER HANGING. Mob Wreaks Dire Vongennco—Sald to Have Confessod In Part. BaroweLt, Ky., July 7.—Charles J. Miller, the negro charged with the outrageand mur- derof May and Ruby Ray,was hanged at 8:27 o'clock this afternoon and the body burned after being horribly mutilated. The negro fnade a speech proclaiming his innocence, but it is said he afterward made a partial confession. The steamer Three States, with several ‘hundred men from Cairo on board, met the special tramn from Sikeston at Bird’s Point. Tho prisoner was put on the boat and taken to Wickliffe at 5 o'clock this morning. There ¥rank Gordon, the ferryman, who ferried the murderer across the Mississippi Wednes- day night, identified Miller as the same man, Still Miller pleaded his innocence, and John Ray, father of the murdered girls, counseled patience. Anxlous to Witness the Tragedy. The mob boarded a train at Wickliffe and brought the prisoner here this morning at 1:30. At 3:20 the negro was brought from the jail to the principal street. A chain ‘was around his neck and many men were pulling and surging at it. The crowd was wild, and no one could guess at the fate of the negro. He was almost suffocated when thenorth of the depot was reached, and here the father of the girls relented to some extent and suggested he be hanged rather than burned. A% 3:27 the hodr was SwWung to a tall seie- graph pole directly at the north end of the dopot, and as he was drawn up_his, clothing was torn from his body by the maddened mob. He was heard to just as_they drew him vp, “Iam an innocent man,” but there is a fully authentic report that he mnde at least a partial confession as the mob took him from the jail, but this confes- sion implicated a partner in some way and nothing positive can be learned. The negro was drawn up with his face to the pole, and when his feet were two or three feet from the ground somebody hot him in froat. In a very few minutes ife was entirely extinct, it being ascertained that he was dead at 3:45 o'ciock. His Body Mutllated, His body was left hanging until 4:25, dur- ing which time some of the toes and fingers wero cut off. The body was firally taken @down and carried about 300 yards to the rear of the town and to Harlan mills, At that place his ears were cut off, nearly all the remaining toes and fingers were severad and the body otherwise mutilated. The body was then placed between two logs and Xindling piled upon it and then enough wood to complete the job of burning. The men who did the haunging are from Kentucky, Tennessee, Nlinois and Missouri, but the work was done in such a mannerand the throng was 8o great that no man can name an individual who participated, — Lady wronaut makes a parachute jum p tonight at Courtland beach at 8, FINISHED HIS FURLOUGH. @allus Schauss, & Private Soldier, Killed by W Fall from n Motor, Julius Schauss, a soldier on furlough, be- Jonging to company H, Eighth infantry, stationed at Fort McKiuney, Wyo., was Xllled by a trolley car on Leavenworth street botween Nineteenth and Twentieth shortly after 12 last night.

Lake MiNseroska, Minn, July 7.—The Cornell and Pennsylvania crews have been here for the pas’, three woeks training hard for the great race on Saturday. Now that the eventful day is drawing near, the inter- ost in the race, the first great intercollegiate ovent on western waters, grows more in- tense, Not among the oarsmen themselves, for with them the feeling could be no greater than it now is. But outsiders are anxiously anticipating the race and watching the work and form of the favorites, The big Lafayette hotel 1s heart and soul with the boys from Pennsylyania. To utter 4 word derogatory to them even to express a doubt as to their ability to win would be treason anywhere on the north shore. On the south shore and at the Lake Park hotel everything is Cornell. The hotel flies the crimson and white from the flag poles, the Park girls display the crimson and white in their costumes, and even the barber pole is painted erimson and white. 1f Cornell wins there will be crimsgn and white rejoicing all over the south shore from Cottagowood and Excelsior to Lake Park, and there will be dark blue disappointment across the lake. But if Pennsylyania wins not the Quakers themselves will celebrate more - hilariously than the inhabitants of Lafayette hotel. Both crews are in splendia form and the race will bo an interosting one. Cornell has the prestige of seventeen consecutive vie- tories behira it and the world's records for the three-mile and mileand one-halt cours This race, howover, will be over a four-mile stroteh of water, and it is a question whether the Courtney stroke is adapted for so long a distance.

ATURDAY REACHING JOR THEBELL CORD Railway Officiate Yonld Like to Stop the “Maximug} Rate Express.” - NEW LINE TO THE COAST TO BE BUILT Adaitional Detalls of Governor Evans' 1. est Enterpri: on of Wealth o= hind the Sdneme, Who Wil Push it Through—Notes. " Now that the' presidents of the lines directly interested in the maximum rate bill have become acquainted with the effect tho law will have upon the earnings in the event the roads decide to put in the rates, there is less apparent desire to pay any attention to the law at all. A raiftroad mannoted for his conversational ability said yesterday morning: “‘For thirty days we have been checking theso rates and instend of a 2 per cent reduction as claimea by the promotersof the bill our figures show a 83 per cent reduc- on. Under these circumstances it would bo suicidal t put these rates into effect, and for one I am in fayor of re- sisting the law consistent with public policy and right. The figures we have been sub- mitting to the men in the east have had the effoct of considerably changing the minds of the big guns of the several systems. What undoubtedly was at first a desire to try the law hus become subordinated to the "hove that none of the roads will put tne bill in effecs. This is the position in which we find ourseives, and it scems to be Hobson's choice which horn of the dilomma to take.” T. A. Price, general froight nfflnt of the Pacific Short Liae; J. C. Lincoln, assistant _general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific, George A. Kimball, as- sistant general freight agent of the Santa Fe at Topeka, C. A.

At the meeting Thursday a letter was read from Comumissioner Vanlandingham of Kaunsas City, in which, on behalf of Kansus City, he asked for the earth and the fulliess thereof to the pleas- ant enjoyment of the representative raiiroad men_present. The rearrangement of the tariffs under house roll 33 necessarily affects Kansas City and lower Mi river points. In view of this Mr. ingham callod attention of the rate makers to the fact that there was such a place as Kansas City. Secretary Poteel of the west of the river committee has left for his Kansas City home, taking the greater portion of the tariffs and papers with him, o RISCO. Construction of the Now Coast Line Seems to 13n u) Renlity, Several days ago Tue Bee published a dis- patch announcing that articles of incorpora- tion of the Denver, Saly Lake & Pacific road had been filed in Colorado. There 15 every indication from recent advices that the line will be pusned at once. If completed, it will destroy the monarchy ~hitherto enjoyed by the Southern Pacific’in California, A moderate estimate of the wealth of the men whose signaturés are appended to the articles of incorporation places 1t at $50,000,- 000. Fully as important is the fact that ex- Governor Evans, the leading mover in the enterprise, is an fexperienced railroad builder, and that several of the other directors have been associated wivh him in other projects, none of which have failea. On the coutrary, sithave been more succes ful than had been hoped. The other in- corporators are couservative ard ‘practical business men whose approval gives digni and standing to any enterprise they may undertake. For years the business men: of Denver have talked of a new line to the coust- For yeurs there have been, atintervals, rumors that some of the great roads reach- ing into Colorado would be extended west- ward. Never before has the plan taken de- finite shape. From the moment Mr. Evans ad. dressed the Chamber of Commerce, outlining his ideas, and said that his money and time were ready to back them, Denver knew that the scheme was not fanciful, and it was - stantly endorsed. . Ina fow days representa- tive millionaries had gathered about Mr. Evans and signified that the ready to be placed with his. were drawn up and filed tie history of theDenve: Francisco,and the history has just begun, It is considered in Denver that the de- pression in silver is an added argument io favor of the road. as Colorado and other states have devoted too much attention to mining, to the neglect of other resources that the new line would tend from the start to develop, Mr. Evans will probably be elected president. The Denver, Salt Lake & San Fran a wholly independent concern. It is not to be built by the Atchison, Union Paci Missouri Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern or any other company suspected of a desire to reach tide water, nor is it to be built with the intention of being turued over to any of them. In a recent interview Governor Evans, in regard to these articles of incorporation, safd there were two features of espacial im- portance to investors and the public. First, that the company was absolutely free from the danger of being broken down by rival roads or of being absorbed by them. The trust for a majority of the stock to bo voted as directed by ten out of thirteen directors is to perpetuate the proprietorship and man- agement in the interest of all of its stock- holders and preveat any other railroad com- pany from biaining control and operatiug it in tho interest of the controlling company. Second, that the laws of Colorado, under which the company is organized, give the company the right to rezulate its freight and passenger business and to fix the compen: tion therefor, and this law with the parties investing in the road becomes a binding con- tract for fifty years, the term of the exlst- ence of the company. Hostile legislation in this case will be the violation of & contract and unconstitutional and void. The articles Such is briefly It Lake and San 80 is WILL ISSUE EXOURNION TICKETS.

Attack on Catholicism. Rev. Sumantra lvnishu Kiramrthe of Bom- bay was the principal speaker in the tent this morning. He made the first anti-Roman utterance yet heard av any of the meetings. Said he: “There is a remavkable corre- spondence between Iomish rkship and Hindoo worship. Romanism is but a new label on the old bottles of paganism, contaming the doadly poison of idolatry.” There was some applause. La Presse, a French newspaper, comes out this evening with an article which declares that his speech was a deliberate insult to the French people, and that they regard it as such.

Ouellet Speaks for the Public’s The question of protection against contagious and infectious disenses hus always been of the most vital impor- | tance. Modern medicine lays stress not so much on disinfectants and deodorizers | as on fortifying tho body against disease | germs. | We all encounter every day disense germs enough to kill us, but while the | body is robuat we throw thewm off; it’s | ouly when the system is sufliciently weakened and depressed that llw-u‘! deadly germs gain lodgment and the power of doing harm, ¥ | Rev. A. Ouellet, an excellent likeness | of whom is printed above, is one of the | most popular and greatly respected priests in the lower provinces. His pur- [ ish is in New Brunswick. | Like thousands of others he tried the | great modern remedy fivat prescribed | by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth, the rem- | edy that gives proper nourishment to ill-fed nerves; that procures the sleep that makes brain and nerves play their parts calmly and harmoniously; that drives the poison germs of deep-seated l discase from that gives tone to the sys- tew, and consequent buoyancy of spiri and bappiness. Ho writes: Benefit. “Of Paiue’s o ery compound I can spealk from experi sice. [ had been laid up with fever und rhoumatic gout from Jun.s till the middle of June, hence my system was fearfully run down, I was very thin and s0 feeble that [ could not move alohg without help. I then began to take Paine’s celerp compound aceording to prescription, and today I am as fleshy and stronyg as | was ten years ago. 1 do not say that I am radically cured as yet of my gout, but the attacks are much less frequent, in fact I bave not been one single day prevented from at- tending to my usual work sinco that time. I therefore viko pleasure in cer- tifying to the wonderful officacy of this marvellous medicine. As u blood purifier it has no egual, and its beneficial influe: on the diges- tive system cavnot be questioned, [n viey of the facts I do not hesitate to ad- vise sick persons to give Paine’s colery compound a fair trial in the various ail- ments for which it is recommended.” Paine’s celery compound is unques- tionably the greatest remedy of modern times. Itis abreast of the most recent medical thought and investigation con- cerning dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, kid- ney troubles aud nervous diseises.
