HERoD AND THE SAVIOR

CLAREsvuLR, KY, May s.-The fear
full excess to which religious hallucina-
ton is sometimes carried was illustrated
here yesterday by thedevelopments fol-
lowing the arrest OF colored man
named Dan Lyle, his wife, and negress
named Susan Tulley. Recently Lyle
and his wife. who previously bore ex-
celent characters, became religious
mono.maniacs. Lyle asserted that he
was the Savior, that his wife was the
Virgin Mary, and that Susan was the
Prophecies. lie has frequently inter
rupted church meetings by insisting
upon his right Ia preach. Yesterday
ConstaDles Romilly and Saunders went
to his house with n warrant for his ar
rest on charges OF disturbing public wor-
ship. Lyle resisted furiously, and IA.
saulted Constable Saunders with an axe.
Constable Romilly, in order to save the
life OF Saunders, fired three shots at
lyle, one oi which took effect in his
right breast and the other two in the
groin. Lyle then retired into his house
and barricaded the windows and doors.
subsequently Lyle surrendered TO
SltTlU hpStlS anu olhNti hViiiSoh, VI
this place.
ON entering the house the officers
wersalmost prostrated by smell OF
putrid human flesh, and on making q
search they found two Of Lyle's child
rcn, aged three and five years, dead,
with their nccks broken. From the mp.
pcarance of the bodies, decomposition
having commenced, they must have
been dead for some time.
A coroncr's jury was summoned and
II verdict was rendered that the children
came To their death by violence. Par
ties from the neighborhood say It is
their impression the murder was insti-
gated by the "Virgin Mary" and the
"Prophetess, who have both welded a
strong influence over Lyle, and that he
did the killing 10 relieve the women OF
the care of them, believing for the occa-
sion he was lierod. Lyle's wounds are
very painful, but are not considered
mortal.

HEROD AND THE SAVIOR.
A HALO or BLOOD eNClRCllN6
RELIGIOUS HAllUClNATl0k.
FURIOUS FIGHT WITH THE OFFICERS.

The frightful Freeman tragedy in Po-
casset, which grew out of religious
mania, has had a bloody parallel in
Kentucky. 1t will be remembered that
the misguided Freeman killed his
daughter in the full belief that, by faith,
he could resurrect her. In the case in
point there is no such mitigating cir
cumstance, and the cases ceases to be
similar when the actual killing Is passed.
The scene of this last horror was in
Kentucky. Dan. Lyle, an ignorant ne
gro, became soimbued with religious ex-
citement that his reason was unsettled
and he became to his wife, to Ellen Tully
and 10 himself, at times the Savior, and
then again Herod. His wife assumed
the character of the Virgin Mary and
Ellen was prophecies. As Herod he
murdered his two babes, the crime being
discovered by officers who went to ar
rest him for disturbing public worship,
when the decomposed bodies OF the
slaughtered children were found. He
fought furiously, and did not succumb
until three bullets had been shot into
him. The details which follow are al
most past belief.

THE LUMBER FLEET.
Dying Echoes Of the Jolly Rats.
mans Cry-The Rich Harvest
the Lumbermen Have Renped.

PITTSBURGH, May S.-The last fleet Of
RATS have been cut loose from the head
waters oi the Allegheny, and ARE at
present unloading at the Allegheny
landing, only a few hemlock fleets going
down below. While the run this year
has not been rs large as that of former
years, the lumbcrmcn have reaped u
rich harvest, inasmuch m this years
prices are better than those obtained
during the past six years, The present
is the third run this year, most OF the
RATS coming from the headwaters
of the Allegheny. About all the lum-
her and timber came ont OF the Clarion
on the first rise, and the second
brought light run down from Tionesta.
Many persons thought that this years
trade WAS far in excess OF previous
years, but several dealers claim that
one.hali less sawed lumber and one
third less timber came done on the three
runs than formerly. The lower markets
must look for their supply from Mich.
gan, rs nearly all from Pennsylvania
forests is required TO supply this market,
the local demand being better than
formerly. Prices, delivered at the land
ing, range all the way from $40 Ia SO
per NJ, according 10 quality. Common
pine lumber, second quality, is quoted
at $l2, while poplar brings $lS.

sumes a Sanguinary Charaeter-A
War Of Raees-TroOps Ordered
Out by Governor Foster
LAST MIGHT.

Some time ago the coal miners EN-
ployed in the Silver Greek mines, near
Doylestown, Wayne county, ONO,
struck for an increase OF wages, which
was refused by the operators. Both in
terests remained stubborn, but until
Thursday night last the miners believed
that they had the best OF the situation
AT that time two hundred negroes sud-
denly appeared upon the scene, and
went to work in the places OF the strik'
ers. They were brought from Richmond,
Va, by the operators who, fearing
trouble, armed them and installed them
in enclosed barracks when of duty.
The white miners organized meetings,
and on Friday night the barracks were
assaulted and one of the Sheritt's force
was injured. The troops have been or
dered out by Governor Foster, and the
most serious trouble is apprehended.
