CRIME RECORD.
HANGED ON SUSPICION.

MARIANA, Ark, May 26.-Our usually
quiet little town was thrown into state
of excitement this morning at O'Clock by
an alarm of fire, which proved to be the
large livery stable of H. B. Derrick, which
in few moments was wrapped IN flames.
Those first to reach the stable endeavored
to force the front door, and failed, but
gained entrance through the rear. The
fire rapidly spread and nothing was saved.
Eight or ten horses persisted. Some were
cut loose from the stalls, but could not Dc
driven out. Derrick's loss is heavy. NO
insurance. But for the rain storm an hour
previous, the business portion OF the
town would have been burned out
by incendaries. A short while after sus-
picion pointed to negro man discharged
several days since. He was arrested, de-
nied his guilt, but was locked up in the
calaboose. The proof was so convincing
that a body of masked men took him out
and lynched him by shooting. They at
tached card to the body which read:
''This is warning to all house burners
(signed) CITIZENS" The verdict of the
coroner's jury was death from pistol
shots by parties unknown" The night
watchman at the calaboose was shot twice
in the leg in his efforts to save the prison
er. The negro had bad reputation.
CORRUPT OFFICIAL.
MILWAUKEE, May 26.--Twelve employees
Of the Milwaukee county hospital, includ
ing Inc female nurses and male attendants,
have petitioned the board of supervisors
through the committee On county hos
pitais to remove DR., Marden for drunken
ness and worse practices. The matter
will come before the supervisors at the
meeting Tuesday for consideration.
HIS WISHES BALKED.
Sr. LOUIS, May 26.-Bill Fox, the di5so
Lutte young fellow who deliberately muir
dered W. L. Howard, near Nevada, Mo,
few days ago for his money, plead guilty
in court yesterday, saying his life had been
a miserable failure and he wanted it ended.
Judge Burton refused to accept the plea
and ordered one of not guilty entered and
appointed two lawyers to defend him. The
action of Fox created profound sensa-
ton.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.-Milton G. Fore
man, of Coltax, Ind, son. and brother of
Foreman, murdered near Traders point
March 8, was arrested this morning
charged with the murder, and is now in
jail in this city.
THE STRIKERS QUELLED.
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-All is quiet to night
at ColIinsville and all the mines in the vi
cinity have been in operation to-day. All
the strikers have disappeared, the pres
ence of the militia having quelIed their
turbulent spirit, and it is certain that
peace can now be maintained by civil au-
thority. Warrants were issued this after
noon for some thirty of the leading stri-
kers and every man who can be identified
as having been connected with the demon
stration the past two days will be arrested
and prosecuted under the law, which I'M
poses a penalty of $500 fine and
six months imprisonment. The
sheriff of st. Clair county has been
authorized by the general manager of the
Cairo Short Line railway, to offer a re-
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension of
persons who few nights ago fired small
bridge on that road near Belleville. 1t
was thought the strikers were concerned
in the affair, but they deny it, and it is by
no means certain that the bridge was not
ignited by locomotive sparks. 1t was ap-
pretended last night that trouble would
occur to-day at the Morissa mine near
BelleyilIe, but up to late hour tonight
no disturbance has been reported and the
opinion prevails that the strikers will
make no further demonstration of a
violent character anywhere in the district.
MUROERoUs POLICEMAN.
ATOa1soN, Kas., May ga row oc-
Cured this evening in which Policeman
Taylor, colored, shot and instantly killed a
colored man named Dick Turpin. There
is a great diversity of opinion concerning
the shooting. Sheriff Blair arrested Tay-
lor and took him to jail, but afterwards
removed him to the country, fearing an at
tack from mob. Taylor is the man who,
a year or so ago, shot and killed a man
from Missouri and wounded another, and
was himself wounded.
