People.
Special ia the Plain Dealer
GALLON, O., May Last Friday as
Barbara Rettig,a German girl, thirteen
wears of age, was returning home from
d neighbor'5 house, she was assaulted
by Frank Fisher, burly negro, drag
ged into the woods, repeatedly and
brutally outraged, and left in an in-
sensible condition. When she return
ed to consciousness and dragged her
self home and told her story, there
was intense excitement, and searching
parties were Immediately organized to
look for the black beast and capture
him if possible. Yesterday mprnihg
negro answering to the girls descrip-
tion was arrested in FrederickstOWn,
Knox county, and brought here and
lodged in jail. Immediately a crowd
began to gather, and ominous threats
of lynohing were heard. The fire bells
were sounded, whistles blown, and the
people began to gather around the Jail.
The officers in charge of the Jail were
unprepared for an assault, and tried to
induce the mob to leave. The Mayor
also addressed the mob, advising order
take its course. All pleadings were
vain, "A rush was made, the Jail doors
| forced, the prisoners cell broken into,
and the hap1ess wretch dragged out,
bowling and begging for mercy. The
people seemed frenzied with fury, and
the prisoner was dragged along the
street, kicked, choked, and pelted with
stones at every step. The negro was
taken to the home of the injured girl
and taken into her presence as she lay
suffering the most intense pain, and
unable to move, She was asked if the
prisoner was the man who misused
her, and she said, without hesitation,
that he was the man. There was other
and conclusive evidence against him,
and he was told that his time had
come to die. He was taken from the
house and followed by howling mob
of at least two thousand people, drag
| ged to the woods where his foul crime
was committed, and hidden to make
| his peace with God. for his time was
short. The scene was horrible. Fisher,
with distorted face, shrieked for mercy
and protested his Innocence. He was
| told he could have five minutes to pray,
but all thesynore he writhed and twist
ed and asKEd for mercy. To the very
last he delared his innocence. When
the five minutes were expired the
| hands of the shriekiEg wretch were
| pinioned, rope was placed around his
neck and the other end thrown over
the limb of tree. There was mo-
ment's pause, and a pitiful scream of
| the victim was stifled as the rope was
pulled up and he swung writhing in
mid air. The crowd stood by until the
last convulsive struggles were over,
and then disappeared, leaving the body
hanging, and where it remained all
night. There are but few people who
condemn the deed, however lawless,
and the general sentiment is that it
was we'll DONE

PILES! PILES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found at Last. No
One Need Suffer.

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itch
ing and liberated Piles has been dis

remedy,) called DR.. Williams Indian
Ointment. A single box has cured the
worst chronic cases of 25 or 80 years

ments and electuaries do more harm
than good. Williams Ointment alb
serbs the tumors, allays the intense
itching, particularly at night after
getting warm in bed acts as a poul-
tice, gives instant and painless relief,
and is prepared only for Piles, itching
of the private parts, and for nothing
else.

Future Claims.

The following bill to amend Section
1915 of the Revised Statutes, relative
to the settlement of claims for the kill
ing of sheep by dogs, has passed the
late Legislature and become law:

the purpose of auditing aud adjusting
said claims, wherein such sheep were
killed or wounded, supported by two
competent witnesses. within one year

the damage claimed is just and reason
able, and makes it appear that such
injury was not caused in whole or in
part by any animal kept or harbored
by him. and that he does not know
whose animal committed such injury,
or if known, and such account reduced
to judgment could not be collected on
execution, the Trustee shall hear such

to the payment of the
amount authorized by the second Sec
tion of the act relating to industrial
schools, or children's homes, passed |

Sec. 2. Section 42l5 is hereby re-
pealed, and this act shall take effect !

Not Scared.

New YORK, May Neither Mr..
Vanderbilt nor Mr.. Field are alarmed
over the apparent attempt tokill them
by means of Internal machines. They
say they never open their own mail,
and that the explosives would not have
hurt them much any way. Postmaster
Pearson has no clue to the senders of
the explosive packages to Vanderbilt
and Fit Id. He will examine collectors
today. The little glass globe of fluid
taken out of the machine intended for
Vanderbilt he sent to Professor Ogden
Doremus, who declared the fluid to be
sulphuric acid, which, if brought in
contact with gunpowder aud chlorate
of potash in small quantities, will
cause il to explode. A cigar box con-
tanning explosives was found by John
A. Davenport in his hall yesterday
morning. 1t was designed, probably
to set fire to his house. The police are
investigating the thing.

The following is the law in respect
to the observance of Sunday which the
saloon men in some sections declare
shall be enforced to the letter if the
Smith bill is enforced:

StrikIMg BACK.

During the debate in the House of
Representatives on the Chalmers
Lynch contested election case on Fri
day, Randolph Tucker, of Virginia,
made telling point against the Re
publicsns by charging that there was
more intimidation of voters in the
North than in the South and that it
arose from the fact that workingmen
in the North were compelled to vote as
their employers dictated. He went
on to show that the big Republican
bosses in the northern cities systemat-
ically bulldozed their employees into
voting the Republican ticket, and
gave numerous instances where men
had been threatened with discharge if
they voted the Democratic ticket. The
Republicans tried to deny the charge
but their denials were weak and the
best of the argument was with the
Democrats. Nevertheless, Chalmers
will be bounced and his seat given to
Lynch for the Republican caucus has
so decreed, and with the Republicans
might makes right.

THE Republicans are likely to have
uphill work in the campaign this year.

voters, but they have cut off the source

ance of cash they never could succeed.

Representative Simonton, of Ten
nessee, in a speech in Congress the
other day, exposed pretty etfectually
some of the Determinations of the
present Republican Tariff. His figures
were taken from the last treport of the
Bureau of Statistics. We quote few
sentences.
1.-The farmer" said Mr.. Simonton,
"upen his trace-chains pays tax of
594 per cent, while the sport can have
his diamonds and canoes at 10 per
cent. The seamstress on the needless
in her sewing machine pays tariff of
As per cent, the carpenter on his saws
from 42 to 63 per cent, while the ele'
CANT gentleman of leisure gets his ru-
bies, pearls, and precious stones at 10
per cent. If it is board nails or wood
screws the farmer wants, if it is tacks
or brads to do his mending, or steel
pen to keep his account, he must pay
5S per cent; but the dainty little gen
tleman with his Derby hat sports his
rattan cane taxed 20 per cent, his jew
elry, 25 per cent; On his plows, spades,
picks and shovels he pays 40 per cent,
while the aesthetic citizen, who des-
pses the useful, who studies music and
fills the air with melody, can have his
Instruments at 30 per cent. If 1t is
castor oil or EPSON salts needed for the
sick. in the family, for the former he
pays 152 per cent, for the latter rs per
E,cent; but his hosptable neixhbor to
treat his friends may have his cham
pagne at AZ per cent. On the bagging
to wrap his cotton bales he pays SO per
cent, ON his window glass, 90 to 73 per
cent; but he may have, if he chooses,
silver plateand wares of gold at 42 per
cent. His good wife on her spool of
thread pays "a to rs per cent, on her

On Friday last the bill to restrict
Chinese immigration passed the SEN
ate as it came from the House, without
amendment. AS there is no essential
difference in the features of this bill
and the one vetoed by. the President
except that the present enc limits the
operations of its provisions to, ten
years instead of twenty, there is little
doubt the present bill will share the
fate of it's predecessor. OF course the
leaders of the party that so loudly
boast that they are the friends of the
laboring men will approve of President
Arthur's course and still keep up their
howl about protecting American work
ingmen against the pauper labor OF
Europe. ...s

Secret Taxation.

Tariff taxation, like our present in
ternal revenue taxation, is insinuating.
and its total cost to us is never figurec.
up. 1t robs us every day on every ar
ticle we purchase, and, while il is d
constant drain upon US, is not noticed
as it would be iflt came upon us all at
once and demanded in lump the
amount taken from us by Titles in the
course of the year. But tariff taxation
unlike the revenue tax, does not go 10
the government, but into the pockets
of manufacturers, for its avowed pur-
pose is not revenue, but protection,
hence it is made almost prOhibitory.
Foreign goods are kept out and Gov
ernment derives but little benefit ia
to the cost to the nation
