The recent lynchingof JAS w. Schell
at Bellefontaine, Ohio, for the murder
of Miss Allie Laughlin, was one of the
most orderly and business-like execu
tons ever conducted under the auspices
of Judge Lynch. When the people OF
the vicinity became acquainted with the
facts of the case their Indignation knew
no bounds, and the incoming trains
brought hundreds of men to the scene
of the tragedy The most active partici-
pants went to q brick-kiln in the out
skirts of the town, and organized them
selves into four companies, each com
pany and each man being numbered.
After Disgusting themselves they pro-
cured an iron rail from switch, rope,
and with cold-chisels, sledge-h hammers,
etc., proceeded to the Jail, battered down
the door and made their way to the cell
occupied by the culprit, who was taken
out and placed upon box under tree,
with the rope around his neck. He was
given ten minutes in which to pray and
confess his other crimes, as he was
charged with number but he pro-
tested his innocence, and claimed that his
wife killed Miss Laughlin through jeal-
ousy. The box was then pushed away,
and he was left hanging, with his feet a
short distance from the ground. After
he was pronounced dead, the lynchers
dispersed and started for their homes. :.

by many distinguished Englishmen.
The little line then opened has since
been absorbed into the Northeastern
railroad of England, an immense cor
poration, whose capital is ESQ, 900, 900,
or equal to that of our whole Pacific rail
road, and even that is surpassed by three
other British railroads. The railroads
of the world have all been created within
this fifty years. The United States have
laid the most length in that time, and
about as much as all the rest of the world
put together. The cost and manner of
building has been the most magnificent
in England, where the percentage OF net
return and gross earnings to cost is less
than with us.

Death of Susan Denim.

From the Indianapolis Republican we
learn that the popular actress known a.
Miss Susan Denim, died at Button, In
diana. on the fourth instant, from the indi-
rect effects of fall she received a few
weeks since while acting part which re-
quired her to cross Q high stage bridge
The sisters, Kate and Susan Denim went on
the stage when children; they were beauti-
tul and talented, and became famous stars
in the West. They were the step daughters
of John Winans, an old Philadelphia come
dian, and came to the stage through his
influence. Susan was born in Philadelphia
in 1885. Her first success was made at
the old Chatham Theatre in New York.
She married Mr.. F. Woodward ct Syracuse,
Mr.. Harry Huntington, of Christy's min
strels; Mr.. Frank Bsnoll, and others, some
of whom survive her. The sister, Kate,
married Mr.. G. K. Fox, the Pantaloon of
pantomime, recently dead, also Mr.. Sam
Ryan, the Irish comedian, and Mr.. John
Wilson, Boston actor. The Denim Sisters
have played in all lines of stage business,
from dancing girls to heavy tragedy. The
remains OF Susan Denim were buried at In

How to Know Them.

Nothing is easier than to distinguish the
real from the bogus lottery. The former in
its published schemes conceals nothing; the
latter always conceals something.
Whenever you see lottery scheme pub
lished in which the entire number of tickets
is not expressly stated, rely upon it as being
swindle. Whenever, through secret cir
culars or otherwise, dishonest or question
able appeals are made to ynr cupidity.
rely upon it's being q swindle. Whenever
the amount published as prizes is vastly
disproportionate to the amount receivable
by ticket sales, rely upon its being a swim
die. The expenses of promoting lottery
are immense; therefore only old and le-
gally established institutions, conducting
the business, professionally, can afford to
promote fair schemes. making their profits
as they do in the aggregate of numerous
ventures, instead Of the success of single
one. The best and soundest institution Of
this kind now extant in the United States
is undoubtedly the Louisiana State LOTTERY,
and without exception the fairest, most at
tractve and liberal lottery scheme ever
promoted in this country is its projected
golden drawing. l.-.
The prizes in this inimitable venture are
all to be paid in gold coin. They are $3.50
in number, range from $50 up to 100000,
and the ticket holder has one chance in
every six tickets. The tickets are $50 each,
currency, and are divided into coupon
twentieths, so that - so will place you
within the radius Of the golden shovel
which rains positively next Christmas day.

The attraction 1T the Academy of Music
last night was Mr.. Barry Sullivan, ~
Richelieu Many years have passed since
this distinguished trsgedian has acted in
this city. We have had . war since then,
and the audiences are not the same. To
the young people the great Irish actor ap-
pears Is new man; the older plAygoers re-
new acquaintance with him pleasureably.
The make up for Richelieu favors age; but
If Mr.. Sullivan has added years to his life
he has apparently lost none of the physical
vigor which characterized his acting of
other days, and which would crop out
even through the feigned feebleness
Of the Cardinal, and his voice is
as rich, as clear and as pliable as
in the olden time, when he held the
audiences OF the old St. Charles Theatre
under it's spell. Mr.. Sullivan has all the
qualities of great actor, and he is acknowl-
edged to be saoh. His Richelieu is original
in conceptisD; he gives both siaes Of tha
Fshas1ous4u1atkSC CasAiaal spasI nan saAs1-
ing part. Among unscrupulous and crafty
men, conspirators and spoilers, he matched
them all with cunning. Among his famil-
lars, he was minister who descended to a
jest, and made himself commonplace with
common people. If Mr.. Sullivan makes
the Cardinal less regal, less dignifed than
the clear cut delineations of Booth or Barrett,
he makes him human, and there is reason to
believe more like the real Richelieu OF his
tory. When the play was given Macready to
read he objected that Bulwer had made an
uneven and sometimes low fellow of the
Cardinal; man who would have his sly
joke, even when the State was in danger.
Mr.. Sullivan uses Bulwer's words, and yet
plays the Richelieu of French history. His
Cardinal is playful and smiling IN repose,
terrible in al ger. His various moods are
strongly contrasted; an old man, feeble
and weak, leaning on the arm of his
ward, and then . reused lion, becom-
ing her defender, and rising to the
climax of passion, spending his own
fury and launching at his and her
enemies the fearful curse of Rome. For its
thoughtful originality, for its lights and
shares. for it's power and consistency, the
Riohelieu of Barry Sullivan must be CON
sidered as an excellent piece of acting. His
support was very oreditable. Mr. Cathcart
is of the old school; his manner of walking
was peculiar 10 the old actors; but he has
thorough knowledge of stage business,
and is of great assistance to the star. To
night Mr.. Sullivan will play Richard III.
his most powerful character.

The Election of speaker Kerr.


The Washington manager OF the Associ.
ated Press failed to furnish the papers Of
his Southern circuit with any account Of
the proceedings OF Congress when Mr.. Kerr
was elected Speaker. We do not complain
of this, for it would be useless; nor do we
mention it as anything unusual, for the
stupidity of the management of the Wash
ington Office is notorious. The fact is
merely mentioned, however, as an excuse
for publishing at this late date the follow.
ing account OF the proceedings, as fur.
nished by the American Press Association:
At twelve O'Clock Hon. Edward McPher-
son, Clerk of the House Of Representatives
OF the Forty-third Congress, raped to order
and proceeded to call the roll of members,
286 responding. On motion of Mr.. Lamar,
of Mississippi, the House proceeded to the
election OF Speaker. He placed in nomina-
tion Hon. G Kerr, Of Indiana. Mr.. Wheeler
nominated Hon. James g. Blaine. of Name
Messrs. Holman, of Indiana, P. A. Danford,
of Ohio, and Banks, of Mass achusetts, were
appointed tellers. The roll was called, and
members proceeded to vote, viva vooe.
The tellers reported that Mr. Kerr had re-
ceived 173 votes and Mr.. Blaine LOG.
They also announced that Mr.. Campbell,
of Illinois, had voted for Mr.. Anderson, Of
the same State. and that Mr.. Anderson had
voted for Mr.. Campbell, and that Mr.. Banks
had voted for Mr.. A. 8. Williams. OF those
classed as Independents, the following voted
for Mr.. Kerr: Messrs. Bsgley, of illinois;
Bliss, of New York; Stevenson, of Illinois;
Whitehouse, of New York; Willis, of New
York. The following voted for Blaine:
Messrs. Dannison, Of Now Hampshire;
Seelye, of Massachusetts,. Meesrs. Randall,
of Pennsylvanis, and Blaine, of Maine,
were appointed q committee to escort the

Mexican Complications.

The following is contained in q special
from Washington to the Galveston Necs,
dated December 6:
Foster, our minister to Mexico, is In al
most daily communication with Secretary
Fish and the President with regard tU the
troubles on the Rio Grande. A converse
tion which Foster had last July with La
fragua, the Mexican foreign minister, on
this subject, and now frat made public,
shove the present attitude OF this grave
question. In the c0urse Of that conversa-
tiUn Lafrsgua said that there were three
reasons why his government was unable to
maintain peace and restrain raids of Mexi-
cams into Texas:
First, troops could not be sent in that
qusrter without fear of dssertion; second,
the internal troubles of the country rem
dered itimpossible; and third, in the present
state OF the national treasury, . sufficiently
Rio Grando. 5ua
Foster replied that the United States gov
ernment had NO information of any design
of acquiring an extension of territory on the
frontier, but the government and citizens
of Texas were olam0r0us in their demands
on the federal governments for protection,
and that the public press in the United
si0ns and depredatlons, wss creating
strong public sentiment in favor Of an ag-
gressive and vigorous policy ON the part Of
the United States. The ackn0 wledgment of
tine inability of his government to restrain
the lAwlessness Of its own citizens, o. just
made by him, would afford the strongest
argument to whatever advocates acquisi-
ton OF territory might be in the United
States.
Lafragua said the adoption of any such
policy would be . greater evil than the
present trouble.
Foster replied, however much both gov.
ernmepts might regret it, in the light of
snoh facts, With the continuance of raids
tho spirit of territorial acquisition could
not fail to increase. Foster pi posed, - .
remedy, that regular sIoops OF the United
States be allowed to CROSS the border, when
n close pursuit., or better still, occupy
stetiOu On the Mexican side.
