Frank and John Mcdonald, two ex-convicts
who have Just completed an eighteen-months'
term in the state prison, aud have been out
only two weeks, while Mt disreputable house
in the outskirts of this village, day before yes
terday, got into row with Willie Kittson,
haIf-breed, about 20 years old. Norman Kilt
son and one Tommy Dunn went TO
the relief of Willie, and took him from
the house and started for home. The
McDonalds followed them and attacked them
again on the street. Willie was knocked down
and then stabbed several times. Norman re-
ceiyed several severe knife wounds IN the face
and side. Willie died within few moments
after receiving his wounds, and Norman can
not live. The McDonalds were promptly AZ
rested by Sheriff Barclay and lodged In the
county Jail, where they remained until last
evening. Great excitement prevailed from the
time of the murder, and extra guards were
placed over the jail. About 10 O'Clock
last night a mob of over 500 people. composed
mostly of Frenchmen, Indians and haif-breeds,
approached the jail, overpowered the Sheriff
and guard, and with heavy timbers, siedge-
hammers and axes broke open the door OF the
Jail aad of tho cell where the McDonalds were
lodged. The prisoners were pulled out OF the
cell and long ropes fastened about
their necks and they were then dragged
by the mob mercilessly through the street for
three-auarters of a mile TO the house where the
row originated, where their bodies were s,s-
pended TO n tree. The victims were dead,
however. long before their bodies were hung
up. The house above mentioned was then ser

Ten Gigantic Locomotives.
Philadelphil Times.

Ten iron giants for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will be built this cum
mer at Altoona. They will be much
larger and more powerful than ordinary
passenger engines and are to be built for
the particular purpose Of making up
time on portions of the road where there
are long stops. On the fast run between
New York and Philadelphia, for instance,
the time allowed is so short that when
there are unusual stops letting off and
getting on passengers the ordinary en-
gines cannot make 1t up, Hence, a
monster locomotive known on
the road as mo. 10" has been
built as an experiment and tried on dif-
ferent trains to see what can be done.
The result has been satisfactory, but
there are many improvements that sug-
gest themselves which will be carried
out in the construction of the other
heavy engines that are to follow. In the
slang of the railroad yard, No. 10 is
known as the "Long-legged loco" This
comes from the big driving-wheels she
rides upon. which stand six feet and six
inches above the rails, or higher than a
tall man with a silk hat on. She has
two pairs of drivers forged for her by
Herr krupp, the famous cannon maker.
In this is supposed to have been solved
the highest aim that can be sought in a
locomoiiye-to pull the heaviest trains
over all grades against stiff winds and
with the least possibility toward hot
boxes or low steam on the quickest
sched ule time. Her engineer says: "She
goes like bird and rides like rocking
chair" Ever since it has been running
that engine has been making mile fif-
ty-seven seconds on the up grade with a
long train in tow without getting heated.
She makes less than mile a minute,
and "keeps COOL" OF course there is a
great consumption of fuel. In $50 miles
l2,000 pounds of coal are used ur. The
tank contains 5000 400 more than are
usually carried. Everything else is on a
proportionately large scale. Only the
delay in getting boilers sufficiently large
has prevented the completion of two
others of nearly the same pattern.

The Fate In Store for Hot springs.


The island Of 1scnia, which was % ter.
rlbly shaken by an earthquake on the
4th Of March, has a volcanic history.
The town of Casamicciols, which was ut
terly destroyed with great loss Of life,
was famous for its warm mineral springs
The principal spring, the Gurgitello, has
temperature Of l02 degrees Fahrenheit,
ana Just before the earthquake boiled
violently, showing that there was unu.
sual disturbance beneath, The cooking
spring has temperature of 100 degrees.
One spring has at times a temperature OF
2l0 degrees. Mount Eporneo, which
rises 2.6l0 feet above the sea, has an anc.
lent reputation for volcanic action. Be
fore the year 70 when Vesuvius suddenly
distinguished itself by the destruction OF
Hercuaneum and Pompeii, Mount
Eporneo or Epopos of the Greeks was
the centre of volcanic activity in that re-
gion. According to Pliny village was
sunk by earthquake action during fur
ious eruption Of Mount Eporneo, 262 B.

to that of Sodom and Gomorrah. A

Col. L. Caldwell reports that when it
was known that robbers had stopped the
coach money and valuables changed
positions. Judge LeiserinC showed his
fine watch and chain into his boot; Capt.
Mllet jerked off his watch and chain
and threw them into the brush, and then
he cut slit with his pen-knife in the
lining of the coach and put 5000 in
greenbacks out Of the way, all being done
before the robbers could get the passeng-
ers out of the stage. Capt. Millet wore
fine diamond pin up near his collar but
ton. which, wearing heavy beard and
holding his head down, the thieves
failed to discover. The robbers abused
and cursed the passengers for being SO
poor and penniless, and kept them
standing with hands up for two hours
Col. Cald we'll says the robbers obtained
but few dollars from tho passenger.

A Grand Dukes Treacherous Protege.
London Telegraph.

1t would appear TO have been due to
the vigilance OF an abnormally intelli-
gent Russian policeman tnat the
anguish caused to the late Cars rela-
tives by the catastrophe of the 18th ult
was not deeply aggravated by the con
sciousness that n member of the i'm.
peria family had possibly been an ac>
cessory before the fact, although totally
innocent of any i'll intention toward his
august kinsman. Last year, while
travelling in Southern Germany, the
Grand Duke Nicholas of Leuchtenbure
became acquainted with young Russian
chemist studying at one OF the universi-
ties, and took such fancy to his youth
ful countryman that he invited the
young man to return with him to st.
Petersburg. This gracious request the
student at first declined, on the ground
that his means would not permit him to
set up laboratory in the Russian capl-
tai or to purchase materials there with
which to prosecute his experimental
studies, whereupon the Grand Duke
himself dabbler in the sciences-place ed
his own laboratory in the MaraDka
Palace at the disposal Of his compatriot,
further offering to pay his travelling ex,
penses and to provide for all his wants
in st Petersburg. Having grate-
fully accepted this offer, the
young chelrist shortly afterward
took up his quarters in a wing Of
the Marianka Palace overlooking the
Novi Perenlok-a narrow street con-
Meeting the Kasan street with the Pal.
ace square-and commenced operations
in the Grand Dukes labratory. So ar
duous were his labors in the expert
mental line that night after night and
all night long, lights could be perceived
from the street steadily burning in the
labratory. This fact awakened suspicion
in police officer employed upon night
outy in the Novi Perenlok, and, at his
suggestion, domiciliary visit was paid
to the Grand Dukes proteee, who was
found busily engaged in the preparation
Of explosive materials. The discovery,
fortunately for the Grand Duke, whose
CONSERVATION may be imagined when it
was impaired to him, took place only a
few weeks before the Cars murder.

How Long May a Man Live.

1t was Prof. Hufelands opinion that
the limit of possible human life may be
set at 200 years. This is on the general
principal that the life of a creature is
eight times the years of its period OF
growth. That which is quickly formed
quickly perishes, and the earlier COM
plete development is reached the sooner
bodily decay ensues More women reach
old age than men, but more men attain
remarkable longevity than women. Some
animals grow TO be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns, fierce longer than
tjmid. and amphibious longer than those
which inhabit the air. The voracious
pike exists, it is said, to the age of lac
wears: the turtle is good for 100 years OF
more; and among the birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived 200 years
while the sly sombre crow reaches the
venerable age of a century.
Passing up in the scale of life to man
and skipping to patriarchs, we had many
recorded instances of longevity among

Mules Fed on Moss.


An item in the Greensboro Beacon of
last week reminds us of a conversation
we had recently with several of cur
planting friends. in which they all
stated that they had for some time been
feeding to their steck the grey moss
whi ch is so abundant on our forest trees
The general impression is that there is
very little nutrlment in this moss; be
that as it may, mules will leave fodder or
any kind of hay TO eat the moss. The
idea is not altogether new to us. While
in Texas q few years ago we saw cattl,
subsisting for weeks upon this moss
alone, and tLey were in good condition
al the end Of that time. Mules, at this
season of the year especially, require
something rough, and in the absence Of
anything better, our farmers should try
the moss.
