Lynch LAVA Murderer Strung up by a
Mob.
HERMAN, June 5.-This city was thrown
ing, shortly after midnight, by the lynching
of Whitney, the murderer of Yang BEchard.
The mob numbered about two hundred.
They surrounded the Jail, the guards being
stationed with drawn revolvers to keep them
back. curious crowd was attracted by the
noise made in beating in the doors of the
jail. The jailer refused to surrender the keys,
when axes were brought. Whitney knew
the purpose of the assault and crouched upon
the floor of his CELL praying fervently, his
voice being audible outside. The jailer was
compelled to lead the way to Whitney's CELL
which was quickly forced open. A long rope
brought by the mob was put round his
waist. Half fainting. the doomed man fell
on his knees, when once in the open
air and asked leave to pray again.
This was granted, but as he continued too
long he was jerked to his feet and dragged
through the town into dense wood that
covers the bluff, dozen of the lynchiug
party warning the populace not to follow and
intimidatipgit by display of revolvers. It
was expected that the court would hold
special session to try the accused, but when
it was announced yesterday that the trial
would go over to the fall term, the indigna-
ton was general and threats of lynch
ing were made. The mob was quite
orderly in its behavior. No masks were
worn, and many of the lynchers were recog
nized. The last seen of Whitney was when
he was taken into the woods by the lynchers.
When the woods were reached the prisoner
was handed over to dozen masked men.
He said he did not know whether he killed
Burchard or not, as he and his partner,
named Collier, fred five shots each. He then
shook hands with part of the mob, bidding
them good by after which he was strung to the
tree. The mob then dispersed. The sheriff took
charge of the body and the coroner opened
the inquest. Whitney was a desperate of
the James stripe. He and another outlaw
named Collier after robbing several stores in
Gosconade county on the 10Th of last month
attempted to plunder the store of Burchard
and Lakes in the little Bein, during which
they shot and killed young Burchard, the
son of one of the proprietors.

The Charges Against Architect Hill.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The investigation
of charges against Architect Kill was resum-
ed to-day. The Philadelphia public building
stone contract was considered and j. 81.
Steinmetz of New York, an expert, testified
as to gross and reckless expenditure of pub
lie money on the part of Mr.. Hill. He testi
fed that stone had been paid for far in ex-
cess of its market value. One block of stone
used in this building was shown by his COM
putations to have cost the government $12,-
s37, an excess of $7..above the, market value
besides allowing the contractor so per cent.
profit. The committee adjourned until Mon
day to allow Mr.. Steinmetz time to make
further computations.

The Losses at TOnquan-French Soldiers
Outnumbered, Bat Fighting With
Success.
PARIS, June 5.-In reply to the popular
demand, and in answer to inquiries made in
the chamber, the government has made pub
lie the details of the losses at Tonquin which
are at best not as heavy as the reticence of
the ministry had led the public to fear. They
are. however, heavy when the small force of
French in the expedition is considered. Four
officers, eleven soldiers and eighteen sailors
were killed and ffty-one officers and men
were wounded. Captain Riviere was killed
during personal effort which he made in
order to save a gun. Official information
states that the sortie was avoided as long as
possible and was only decided upon after I'M
pardonable insults had been submitted to
from the commander of the black flags. The
enemy. however, lost 113a man killed, their
force being in numbers much superior to the
French force.

NEW YORK, June 5.-The session OF the di.
rectors of the National Rifle association TO-
day was exciting and came very near leading
to personal encounter between the men,
bers. After the report of the team shooting
had been read and the announcement made
that the averages were higher than the win
ming British scores at the last international
match, Mr.. Seabury made the statement that
If any of the directors desired to keep Mr..
FarroW off the team he should state his OBJ
ections clearly SO that there should be no
misunderstanding. Colonel Litchfield said
the fact that Farrow was one of tbs best shots
in the country should be considered. Colon.
ell Bodine said angrily that theFarrew matter
was stencil in the nostrils of the country.
Mr.. Farrow is simply obnoxious and his pres
ence on the Wimbledon ranges would be re-
garded as the appearance of the devil him
self. The action of the committee in exclud-
ing him had been final and binding as the
committee had power. General Robbins and
others spoke and papers showing Mr.. Far
rows good standing in the Newport artillery
were read. The directors, however, returned
the papers and passed resolution that he.

Another Chapter From Merr1ck-A Law
yer Whose Conscience Was Not
Sweated.
WASHINGTON, June Sin the Star route
trial to day Mr.. Merrick resumed his ad-
dress, discussing the question of conspiracy
at some length. He submitted to the court
certain postulates which he asked to have
embraced in the charge to the jury. They
set out that forgery is a crime, to alter an
authorized paper is crime, to file false
paper is criminal and that the filing of a
forged paper with the design to deceive is q
crime. Mr.. Merrick then proceeded to dis
cuss Mr.. Vaile's testimony and declared that
by it he would show that an understanding
existed between Brady, Miner and himself.
Mr. Merriek while discussing Vale referred
to him as a millionaire, a statement which
Mr. Henkle disputed. Mr.. Merrick said that
MIR. Henkle had not spoken for Vale lest per-
haps he might cross the path of some other
person, as he would let Vale speak for him
self in his testimony.
Mr. Henkle rising said, ''You have not made
shadow of case against my client and
did not think it was necessary for me to
speak for him. stNow look here, brother
Henkle," said Mr.. Merrick, ''you are good
member of the church. Argue your case on
the evidence, but do not sweat your con-
science by saying what you do not believe.
You know lawyer is not required to do
that"
Mr. Henkle protested that his conscience
was not sweated at all by the statement that
he had made. Mr. Merrick continued his
address without concluding up to the time of
adjournment

FIRE RECORD.
Barnum's Circus Tent Burned-H0yv tn
Animals Escaped-No Loss of Life

Barnum's Circus Tent Burned-Hoyv the
Animals Escaped-No Loss Life
CHICAGO, Juno Sat 2 o'clock this morn
ing fire broke out in Barnums circus, con-
Stunning the main tent, dresses and parapher-
MALTA. The blaze caught from one of the
lamps and the canvas was consumed like
fash. There was no loss of life. The ami
mails, fortunately, were in separate tent in
side the base ball park and we're not injured.
When the alarm was turned in at o'clock
this morning, caused by the discovery that
the circus was on fire, the department re-
sponded quickly, but before any engines
were brought into action the destruction of
the main tent was complete. Several streams
were played on the blaze and the fremen
succeeded in preventing spread of the fire
to the adjoining canvas under which were
the cages of the wild beasts. The flames
ran up the canvas to the center
poles in a twinkling. Michigan avenue
for blocks was as light as day.
while the shipping lying in the harbor was
clearly outlined. The tugs in the harbor ad-
ded to the uproar by an incessant screaming
of their whistles. The canvas and guy-rope
being destroy ed, the center poles were pre-
cipitated to the ground, crushing the private
boxes and carrying the fire in among the re-
served seats, causing their complete destruc-
ton. The night Waterman in charge of the
stable tentswas appraised in time to enable the
hostlers to lead out all of the horses
quietly. The wild animals had all
been locked up for the night, and, as
they could not see the flames, were
in no sense panic-strieken, although the
smell of smoke appeared to excite some of
them. The actual loss to property is esti-
mated at from S15 600 to SIG 900 with no in
sarance, but the interruption of the perform
ances may necessarily increase the loss very
considerably. The canvas destroyed COW
cred six acres of ground and it is claimed to
have been the largest single one in the world
The management have duplicate on hand
and in the event of the costumes not being
entirely destroyed expect to throw the show
