CRIMINAL.

CHICAGO, Oct 2.-Otto Freese was
stabbed to death at midnight last night, at
Aurora, Ill. by Thos. Olsen, a Swede II
years of age The affair grew out of a
row between two squads of young men.
The jail was surrounded by a large and ex-
cited crowd, all the forenoon; and the
prisoner had to be taken to Geneva to
avoid lynching.
BLOOMING TON, Oct 2.-The following
is another version of the lynching at about
6 80 this evening Ted Franks, the jailor
was shot and killed by prisoner Charles
Pierce, alias Hewlett, incarcerated for
horse stealing, The jailor went to change
the prisoner from one cell to another, hav-
ing revolver in his pocket, and no coat
ON He went to unlock the cell door, when
the prisoner seized the revolver and shot
the jailor in the back. The jailor then
turned round and was shot in the shonl-
der. The third shot pierced his heart. The
other prisoners seized and held the murder
er The news spread like wild fire, and
by o'clock the Jail was surrounded by
| :. 900 men, women and boys, demanding

summoning strong force, did all in their
power; but at nine o'clock the mob gain
ed an entrance, after nearly tearing z
| down the jail They put rope around
the prisoners neck and dragged him
through the bowling crowd TO the
nearest tree, where he was soon
| dangling, d corpse His shrieks Were
| drowned in the loud cheers and yefis of
| Hang him. Some of the best citizens
were in the front. Business men cheered
and encouraged the 1ynchers; women
cheered and waved their handk erchiefs
when the hope was strongest that Patsy
Deyin, in Jail for murder, would be lynch
ed too The mob left him unmolested.

cAyIclSES CALLED.

r.r WAsH1NGToS, Oct "a Republican
senatorial caucus is called for Saturday
morning at 10 a, N. to devise some plan
for organization. The Democrats meet at
the same hour and some compromise is ex-
pected. Most OF the Democratic senator's
here oppose compromise and hold that
under law and custom the organization of
the senate is within Democratic control.
Some Democrats however prefer if pos
sible to agree quietly in advance. 1t is
stated that Pendleton and Garland are
among the latter class, but say they ex-
pect to abide the caucuses decision. Both
sides desire to avoid a partisan contest but
it is not improbable that one may occur.
The senate may cause one as the Presi-
dency of the United States is the only life
intervening, between that office and Chief
Magistrate, Both parties are anxious to
possess the Office and think it is worth the
struggle

in the city is that of Mrs. Mark Hop,

Governor Stanford's house, adjoining it,
Of which so much has been said, cost
less than $3.50, 900. Mr.. Crocker's cost
$500, 900 or thereabouts. All these
houses are Of wood; they are large and

The San Francisco Stock Report makes
Senator Fair in some sense responsible
for the attitude Of HE Democrats in the
present deadlock ia the Senate. The in
cidcnt is worth recording. 1t was prob
ably the first step toward a great political
career. The caucus, if not at logger
heads exactly, was in dire confusion.
TIC tisno for the assembling Of the Sen
ate approached; the session was expected
to be a critical one; it was absolutely
necessary that a plan of action should
be arranged. Five minute or seven
minute speeches succeeded one another
rapidly The grey boards of the party
counseled one course; the hotter headed
and younger Democrats insisted on an
other; and there were plenty on both
sides to disapprove of every plan with
out suggesting themselves any improve
ment on it. The situation looked almost
hopeless, when Senator Fair, who had
listened without a word to the debate,
rose and requested permission to say a
few words. He excused what he felt to
be his presumption but promised to be
brief and to the point, and he was. He
spoke about four minutes; the members
listened with mingled curiosity and at
tention to the new Senator's first utter
ances. He had a plan to propose and
stated it concisely, closing by asking
for a vote upon it. A vote was taken
and Senator Fairs suggestions were unan-
imously adopted. The incident has not
hitherto been published, but it has made
Fair a marked man in Washington and
the Democrats have been congratulated
by Republican Senators upon their pos
session of a new member with such
originality and clearness Of thought and
VITA such a capacity for bringing it to
bear at the right moment and in the
right way. We have no doubt that
Senator Fair will more than justify the
hopes Of his Democratic and Republican
friends.

A Free Education League has been
formed IN Great Britain to procure the
abolition OF all fees in connection with
national education. The League cites
the example Of the United States in
free education, and notes that France,
profting by the experience OF OTHER
nations, has this year established free
education in all her primary schools,
Notwithstanding these Instructive ex:
amples. the Secretarys circular says,
"the tendency has been to raise the
scale of school fees. The conviction is
rapidly growing that, unless Great
Britain is TO fall behind other nations
in education, a resolute movement
should at once be made IN the direction
