FIRE AT FARGO.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

this firm keep full of their surplus stock,
and although it was well filed and totally
destroyed, it will not materially affect their
stock in trade. The loss is about
$4,000; insured for $29,SOO in
the city agencies of Foster &
Hand, Bliss and Boylson and Baker, Dur
ing the fire there was an explosion of some
powder, which caused quite a commotion,
but did no damage. But for the rains
which have prevailed here for few days
past, the fire would have spread badly. The
fremen were very prompt, and the safety
of the surrounding buildings was soon as
assured.
JUDGE LYNCH.
CHAELorrEv1LLE, Va, Oct. flames
Rhodes, the murderer of the Massie fami-
ly, was taken out of Jail last night by a
body Of armed men and hung to a tree.
He confessed that he was Rhodes, and said
his mother and brother Lee did not do any
of the killing.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct. 2.-The lynch
~ers of James Rhodes, last evening, num-
~bered about forty. It is thought they had
a hundred or more confederates in town.
They compelled the jailor to surrender the
keys of the Jail, and the guards were over
powered. Rhodes on discovering their OBJ
-ject gave loud cry, heard at a consider
able distance. A crowd of citizens fol-
lowed the lynchers. They were halted by
guards on the highway about fifty
yards from the tree on which
Rhodes was hanged. He admitted he was
James Rhodes, and said that his brother
in Jail and his mother took no part in the
murder. He begged for fifteen minutes,
promising to tell about the murder. The
lynchers seemed to fear interference, and
urged the execution. The attorney for
the commonwealth made an appeal to
have the law take its course, but was
warned off on peril of his life. In 1877
Rhodes, boy then, attempted to poison
his mother and all the family. He
fled to Tennessee, where, in the same
year he committed three felonies for which
he was convicted. He escaped the peni-
tentiary in December, 1881. Besides muir
'dering the Massies in March last, he is
charged with arson and robbery committed
in East Tennessee. His body was cut down
this morning by order of the common
wealth's attorney. A grand jury is ordered
for tomorrow to investigate. This is
county court day and the excitement is
great.
LACKED THE NECESSARY SAND.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. AT late hour
last night crowd of 25O went to the
county jail and demanded Bob. Wilson, a
negro who Thursday night shot Frank
Russell, who died from the effects last
night. The jailor refused to comply with
the demands of the mob. The crowd
loitered about the jail for an hour, but
made no demonstration further than men
TONED. They evidently were in need of a
leader. No more trouble is anticipated, as
the jail is a strong one and the officers are
on the alert.
