Ii Was Played the Alleged Ontragers OF Miss
Bond. Without Sucoess.
ST. LcUIs. Aug. - Dispatches early
this morning say that great crowds
gathered around the jail in 1ayloryille
during the evening, and up to . o clock
remained quiet, but after that hour they
became demonstratiyc. and some of the
holder ones, under the influence of
liquour, demanded the prisoners. This
was refused by the sheriff. But a short
time afterward more decided efforts
were made TO get into the prison, and
an entra .ce was finally made, 10y force.

abandoned the jail, aud the mob pGshed
It's way up stairs TO the cells where the
prisoners were confined. and took Mont
gomery and pcttis out through hole
in the top of their cell and handed them
over to the mob. A rope was quickly
provided and thrown around the necks
of the men. The mob then, by blows,
threats and other means, ondeayorcd Ia

cry OF Hang them was then raised,
and the mob dra eyed the wretches from

but without avail, the men continuing

TheY were then taken to the court

about four feet from the ground and
held there about one minute, when he
was let down again. limp and exhaust

TO speak. he asserted his innocence. A.
d. Bond, the father of the outraged
girl, was then brought on the ground,
and another attempt was made TO make
Montgomery confess, but he still main

this, fire broke out in the town. which
had the effect of attracting large

ance, and in many cases remind one OF
a prison on account of the heavy barred
windows and doors. The streets are
narrow, well paved, and very clean,
having streams of water on each side in
many cases.
Carriages are never seen ON the streets
on account of the steep hills. Instead
of street cars sleds are used; these are
either drawn By oxen. or used to slide
down steep places, the streets being so
paved that sled runs rs well as in
winter. Another means of conveyance
is the hammock carried by two of the
natives.
Madeira seems to be land of flowers
and all kinds of vegetation, every piece
OF ground being under cultivation.
The land is SO hilly, that farmers have
to build walls to keep their land from
washing away, compare such farm
with one in Grant county! The private
gardens are wonderful both in size and
beauty, thus reminding one of summer
rather than mid winter.
From MADEIRA we went to Santa Cruz,
on theisland of Tencrilfe. This island is
about like Madeira, but the mountains
are much higher the peak being twelve
thousand feetin height and covered with
snow most of the time.
A beautiful road leads from the city
to the peak, thus making the trip very
pleasant one. The difference in the tenn
perature is very perceptable while as
cending the mountain, and the change
is very agreeable, as it is quite warm in
the city. The land is all of volcanic
origin, and almost all covered with
small pebbles, thus making the cultiva-
ton of the soil a very tedious operation.
After leaving Teneriffe, we visited the
Cape Verde Islands for the purpose of
getting our mail, and then started for
the coast of Africa.
We are now on our station and, hav-
ing just passed through the straits of
Magellan, but as my letter is already too
long | will wait till another time to des-
cribe the rest of the trip.
Yours Truly,
GEORGE BARNETT.

Hlary in Arresting Henry George.
LONDON, Aug. II. - Henry George.
the American author, arrested vester-
day, was liberated this morning. II IS
understood Mr.. George was liberated III
the express direction Of the Premier.
The report states that VIXEN Mr. Glad
stone heard of the arrest Of Mr. GEORGE
he was quite indignant at what he said
must have been a blumdcr. and ordered
his instant release. and that he caused
the officers to be severely questioned as
to their reasons for taking the author
into custody. The spokesman for the
officers replied: 1.-The prisoner is a COM
mon enough looking man, sir The
bearer of the government orders assured
the officers that the ministry's anxiety
to have the prisoner at once set free IN
dicated that the government deemed
him a very uncommon person. (which
government has he behind him?'' asked
one officer of another. 'sThe British
government" was the reply of the dis
patch-bearer. Neither messenger or CT
ficers had any idea Of Mr.. George :
identity, and he was liberated with much
ceremony, and went his way quietly.
The record Of the arrest was made to
read: Arrested. Henry George. accused
by the police Of association with slts-
poets.
