makes the filing as the attorney and not for
the purpose of withdrawing the land from
settlement to sell it again for speculation,
and that he has no interest in the filing or

Firmly United Under Vice President Mon
Senior Elmore, the Peruvian minister
in Washington, has received to-day a
cable message from Lima communicating
the news that ex-Dictator Pierola has
finally embarked and left Peru.
The whole of Peru" Senior Elmore
says, is now firmly united Tin spite of
the persistent efforts of Pierola and the
Chilians to destroy constitutional order)
in the recognition of the constitutional
government of Calderoh, represented by
Vice President Montero, who is also re-
cognized by the whole of Peru, and in
whose name Gen. Caceres lately took the
city of Ayacuch, with the last remnant of
Pierola's followers
"This," Senior Gilmore says, "is the
legacy which the lamented General Hurl-
but has lelt Peru, as tho greatest triumph
of his heroic life and while the Peruvian
people exist united, and are in the enjoy.
ment of republican institutions, they will
ever remember and venerate the name of
Hurlbut, the United States minister and
statesman, to whose memory the national
gratitude will soon raise fitting monu-
ment."
Advices from Buenos Ayres of the Sth of
March, by way of Lisbon, state that the
Peruvians had attacked tho troops under
Caceres, and had been defeated in Ahacu-
cho, with loss of 200 killed. The Peru
Wan commanders, Mas and Panizo, had
been taken prisoners, and it was expected
they would be shot.

FATAL DISASTER.

Children Buried Under Brick Wall.
On Tuesday afternoon thick brick wall,
about 20 feet high, fell with crash into the
yard Of No. 8 James street, N. Y, where
a number of children were at play, somo
of whom were buried under the debris.
Two bodies were taken out of the ruins,
one being that of John Donnigan, IA years
old, of No. Q James street and the other
that of Louis Bachneke, a child of four
years.
The work of clearing away the ruins
was vigorously prosecuted. Mothers re-
siding in the neighborhood were, for a
time, nearly crazed with fear that their
children were in the yard at the time of
the fall, as the scene of the accident was
favorite spot for the children to meet
and play, though it is now certain that no
other casualties occurred than those above
mentioned. Patrick Mahoney, who had
charge Of the repairs, has been arrested

Richard Long Taken from Jail and Hanged
Before Thousands of People.

Richard Long Taken from Jail and Hansed
Before Tnousands Of People.
Monday night after midnight a mob
collected in grove near Kokomo and
organized and marched to the Jail where
Long, alias Jamison, charged with com
mitting a felonious assault on the little
daughter of Mr.. Pricherd, was confined.
A crowd of 700 or 800 people had congre-
gated at the Jail when the masked party
arrived. but they made no demonstration
except to cheer the mob. At the Jail door
the sheriff met them. On his refusal to
deliver the keys the mob broke down the
doors and took the culprit to Main street
bridge, where thousands had gathered.
Rev. Mr. .McClane was present and offer
ed prayer and asked the wretch if he
was guilty of stealing the horses. He
said he was. The minister asked him if
he had stolen the watch. He replied that
he had. Mr.. McClane then asked if he
was guilty of committing the assault on
the little child. He said he was not. He
was placed on box and his hands and legs
were tied. The mob then asked him if he
had anything to say. He commenced sing
ing "See that my grave is kept green."
After finishing he said he hoped he would
meet his father and mother in heaven. He
gave his name rs Richard Long and said
he resided in Franklin.
The mob was we'll organized. They
wore their coats turned inside out. They
had obtained sledgehammers,c crowbars and
other implements from blacksmith shop
before marching to the Jail. Efforts were
made by W. F. Vail, Rev.. Mr.. McClane
and others to prevent the mob from
taking the law into their own hands, but
they were greeted with shouts of derision
from the mob and crowd that had gather
ed. 1t was evident that nothing but a
largo military force could have prevented
the hanging,
