SAuGERr1Es, Scpt.2i.-Mr and Mrs. Schocn-
fold arrived homo from New York Yesterday on
tho last train. It was ncarly 8 o'clock before
the stage in which they were passengers climbed
the brow Of a hill and entered the village. They
had been looked for after the arrival of every
nurthward bound train at Tivoli station, across
the rivor. picket Of boys at the top OF the hill
gavc the alarm. and from TINT minute. all up
through Partition street past tho Exchange
Hotel. and up to Schocnfeld's store. tho
stage was followed by a constantly in
crensing throng Of boys and men. Some
estimated the throng when 1t was largest nj 800
Some put II at 200. and Mr. Schoenncld's friends
said that 1t was composed OF about 50 idlo boys.
At all events the throng lined the sidewalk on
both sides Of the street. and they ran after the
stage shouting: Hang him. Lynch himl"
Where's Annie Homme ?" and other cries of
the same nHturc. Some Of these cries wero ut
tered in spirit Of fun but 10y the time the stage
arrived at Schocnfeld's door the feeling against
him had developed considerable bitterness.
Tho throng filled the sidewalk and ho had to
push his way through io the door. Many
fancicd thny could SEQ pallor on his face by
tho dim light of tho stage lantorn; when y"
arose to alight from the vehicle. He says hr
" did not mind them any moro than so many
barkin logs" He hurried through the hoot-
ing throng his wife behind him entered the
door and wont straight through to some living
apartments in the rear. No one in the throng

To-day a letter was written TO Mary Hommel

Considerable comment is made here on the

saloon somo time before July in company

Meyer which Dominic Lichtenberg brought

differ in their descriptions only in the matter oi

not hav" the body found at Silver Lake disin-

dents here believed that they would hear from
the Coroner within few hours after the father
