Details of the Hanging of Four Noted
Outlaws by a Mob at Night.


Louisville, September s, 1877.
A special correspondent, sent to New
Castle by the Courier-Journal, telegraphs
that nearly one hundred armed men
were in the mob that hung the three
Goodrichs and Simmons yesterday morn.
ing. The jailer, }. M. Jones, says of it
about one o'clock l was awakened by
a loud knocking at the door and calls of
Where is the jailer ?" Ihurriedly went
down and was confronted by body of
about fifteen or twenty men. They point
ed guns and pistols at me, and told me
to get the key of the Jail and go with
them. When we reached the Jail they
commanded me to open the door. They
were joined by other men on the way to
Jail and when We got there some forty or
fifty men rushed into the Jail and at once
took possession of the prisoners and tied
ropes around their necks and led them
out. On the way out Sam and Joe Good
rich said, 1--WE are innocent. No blood
of any man is on our hands. The mob
said in response, If you want to pray get
at it. Sam then said, Will you allow
me to send some money to my mother !?
They said Yes He then handed me
about $40. They then proceeded down
the street, taking the four to the bridge,
where two were hanged on each side"
Frlghtful List.
The following is published concern
ing the crimes for which the men were in
jail:
The murders for which the persons
were implicated we're that of Parrish, for
which Shuck suffered death on the gall
lows: a pedler from Jacksonville, in
Shelley county, named Darrall; Beeler
James, son of member of thegang sac
rifced by his unfeeling father because
he knew too much about its afflirs, and |
whose bones were found where Dick |
Shuck said they were placed John Oman
who was first robbed, attempted to be
killed with pistol shot which only broke |
his arm, and was then taken in skiff |
into the Kentucky river, weighed with
rocks and sunk. Following this was the
murder of Eli Downey, cousin of Shuck,
who was shot in the head by Jack Sim
mons, son OF the King and robbed of
$I4o,neXt came the murder of an Indian
ian named Gallaghan,a fruit tree pedler
from Indiana, who was first robbed then
knocked on the head with stone and
thrown into the river.
Burial Of the Murderers.
King Jim Simmons was buried at
Newcastle this afternoon by some me-
groes, His wife and two Youngest sons
fed the night previous upon suggestions
of citizens that they had best leave the
country. The bodies of the three Good.
riches were taken to Lockport for inter-
ment.
Other Outlaws.
John James and Dave Carter, who
were also among these outlaws, are still
living. They are at liberty by order of
the Court, James not having been con-
victed and Carter freed on account of
informing on his comrades. Jack Sim.
mons has never been apprehended d.
Public sentiment seems not to Justify the
summary manner in which the outlaws
were disposed Of, yet no one is sorry that
the last Of the organized scoundrels
whose bloody deeds have disgraced Ken.

Teaching Forbidden.

Even such matters as teaching the deaf
and dumb were hedged in by law in
England, which prevented Gallaudet
from learning how to instruct them, and
he had to go to France for knowledge to
enable him to set up his institution here.
There is no such great cause of danger to
our institutions as that arising from pub
lie and private immortality. Since 1864
the taint Of corruption has entered ev.
eryWhere.

The LON Line Abandoned.
A Vienna dispatch says the Russians
have abandoned the upper LON line,
and have withdrawn their right wing on
that side, which was at Popskoi, to a line
where they can keep in contact with the
forces guarding the road from Osman Ba-
zaar. Mehemet Ali has thus gained an
undoubted strategical success by his VIC
tory at Karesan. All depends on how
he will use it.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Thursday afternoon about halfpast
four o'clock, while NJ. w. H. Coch
rane was driving IN a spring wager
from the Lela6d Hotel down Mad
ison svenue, and when nearly oppo.
site the Masonic Hall, the team he va,
diving became frightened and started to
run. In the first start, one of the po-
mics got under the tongue, breaking it.
and allowing it to fall down. The
tongue then burrowed into the ground,
and the wagon and driver were thrown
high in the air. Several gentlemen
picked Mr.. Cochrane up in an insensible
condition, and carried him into Way
mire's drug store, where it was found
that he had received severe bruises on
the head and face, and was breathing
with difficulty. DR.. Fulton speedily
dressed the wounds visible, and sent him
home. During the evening he had Sc
we're chills and tremors. DR.. Fulton
thinks there is no danger to be appre-
hended from the wounds on the head
but that the danger arises from the
lungs and chest.
At this writing, Friday noon, the prob
abilities are that he will be around in .
few weeks.
The horses were not injured.

GOOD ADVICE.

Now is the time of year for Pneumo'
MIA, Lung Fever, etc. Every family
should have bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Don't allow for one moment that
cough to take hold of your child, your
family or yourself Consumption, Asth-
ma, Pneumonia, Group, HemOrrhages,
and other fatal diseases may set in. Al
though it is true German Syrup is curing
thousands of these dreaded diseases, yet
it is much better to have it at hand when
three doses will cure you. One bottle
will last your whole family winter and
keep you safe from danger. If you are
consumptive, do not rest until you have
tried the remedy. Sample bottles 10
cents. Regular size, IS cents. Sold by
