FATAL FURY OF A MOB
He Ii Torn From the jail and Killed ON the
Stree.-A Pitched Battle Between tho
NlOh arN POlicA

He IL Torn From the jail and Killed ON the
stree,-.A Pitched Battle Betwosn tho
Mob and Police.
At ten minutes rast two O'Clock We'd
Eesdsy morning about 100 mounted men
from Posey county, Ind, quietly sur
rounded the county jail, awoke the sheriff
and demanded of him the keys of the Jail.
They then went to the cell Of Hume Red
man, who is imprisoned for wife murder,
took him out and putting him in buggy
drove otf with him. Upon their leaving a
number of shots were fired, and the tire
bells were rung for the purpose of notify
ing the police, but before the arrival
of the patrOlmen the squad was out Of
sight, disappearing down the street
leading to the Nj. Vernon road. The
sheriff was warned only a moment before
the mob arrived at the Jail, and before he
could get to the outer door to lock it the
mob burst in upon him and held him
prisoner. The police ON arriving followed
tho mob and finally got within gunshot
distance. The policeman fired after the
retreatinS men. aud one OF them, named
Dave Murphy, living near Redman's home,
in POsey county. was killed. AS the mob
hurried along with Redman, a fire engine
ran against the buggy in which the prisoner
was seated aud overturned it, when the
order was given to kill Redman On the
spot.
One Of the men seized sledge hammer
and dealt Redman powerful blow on the
head, telling him to the ground. At this
point Chief Pritchett arrived on the scene.
One Of the mob ran up to him and said !:
$50 away from here. Pritchett; We do
not want to kill you;" ut the same time
swapping revolver in his face, but his
hand was knocked up before the weapon
was discharged and the shot passed by
harmlessly. BY this time several officers
were Oh the ground, and they, without any
orders from their superiOrs, opened fire on
the rapidly retreating mob, who in turn
fired as they ran. The mob were we'll
armed, and pitched battle was fought on
Third street, the bullets whistling in every
direction.
Chief Pritchett and Detective Newell,
who led the fight against the mob. made
an effort to capture some Of them, but the
firing was SO vigorous that they were COM
PEELED to lie flat on the ground in order to
escape death. The result of tho battle
was that Redman was not only killed
where hs was stricken down with a
sledse hammer, but over two dozen balls
entered his body 1t was at this place
that David Murphy, a brother in law OF
the murdered woman, met her death.
Tic mob was 50 intent on killing Redman
that they fired heller skelter through their
own ranks. Tho body of Redman was
conveyed to the court house, but life was
extinct. The mob Oh leaving tbs scene
separated, aud everything was done to
avoid the officers.

DAN DoU0HERTY has come home
from Europe, and declares himself for
P.ttison. 1t was reported that he was
opposed to him because he deemed him
not up to the proper stature of Penn
sylvania governor. Mr.. Dougherty de-
clares. however, that Pattison is quite
up to the existing standard Of our
governors. He properly regards the
Office as one Of great dignity, to be fillel
by a most distinguished citizen. He
seems TO have thought Mr.. Pattison too
young to lave yet achieved the place in
public estimation from which he would
naturally step into the goyernorship.
But the mantle in Pennsylvania is not
customarily cast, as he says, on the
shoulders of those who are first in the
hearts of their fellow citizens.

A Massacre Ot Whites In Lee County, Ala
bams, Said to be Contemplated.
Intelligence has been received of a cou-
templated uprising Of the negroes in Lee
county, Alabama. The news was brought
by number of families who have fled to
Columbus, Ga. and points near there to
escape the threatened danger. Il is
learned that a trustworthy negro informed
Robert Sasser that the negroes in
tend to burn the houses and
massacre the whites on Friday or
Saturday next. The trouble is said to
lave grown OUT of disturbance caused
by negro shooting white man some
weeks ago. The widest excitement is
said to prevail all over Lee county, partic-
u!arly in the vicinity Of the Chewacia lime
works, at Yongsboro. The reports coming
in, although regarded as much exaggera
ted, cause some excitement here, because
they are believed to have SOME founda-
ton.
A dispatch to the Enquirer Sun from
YoungbOro, Ala, the nearest station to
the Chewacia lime works, says there is no
uprising of negroes in that section. Other
families who reached Columbus. Ga,, to
night say that trouble is expected.

No doubt many Republicans will
sneeriag,y say that the victory won by
their adversaries in Ohio last Tuesday
was rum triumph, and there may be a
few unthinking Democrats, unable to
give a reason for the faith that is in
them: who will deplcre the stand taken
By the party on the liquor question. The
position taken by the Democratic party
is its time-koncred opposition to sump-
tuary legislation. 1t believes in the
largest measure Of personal liberty con-
sistent with public order. Granting
that We have a right to say whether or
not a man may indulge in drink, with
equal force the state may interfere with
his love for tobacco, and bis belief in
his religion. They all hinge on the false
theory that the citizen should he con-
trolled according to his conduct, when
he himself only is affected, by the state
whereas the true doctrine is that in this
regard he should control himself. The
Democratic party las no reason to feel
ashamed of the victory it has won. 1t
has always been conspicuous in its de-
fense of the inalienable rights of man.
It should not be forgotten by Republi-
cans that in the rural districts where the
liquor issue was scarcely felt the Demo-
cratic gains were enormous. The as
sumption that it was a mere rum vic
tory does not explain the loss of eleven
congressman. The crushing defeat
shows most clearly the disintegraticn of
the Republican party, and its entire
downfall is now only question of
time.

Daniel Dougherty has just returned
from Europe, having made a pleasant tour
through Belgium, Germany, Austria and
Italy. Just after his departure the Gin
cinnati Enquirer printed what purported
to be al interview with him. This vera
cious article was signed by George Alfred
Townsend, a fact that in itself should
have fully guaranteed its truthfulness, and
represented Mr.. Dougherty as saying that
Robert E. Pattison, then recently nomi-
mated for governor was in no way worthy

by a reporter and asked whether he had
