Criuse.
CAIRO, IT'D, JulyG
Mound City was tao scene Of much ex,
element this morning over the lyuching OF
Nelson Howard, colored. for the murder
OF John Kane ON the 4th inst About two
o'clock a squad OF twenty-Gye OK thirty
masked men came up FROM the direction OF
Cairo on three hand-cars, and unloaded az
point just below Mound City; They broke
open the Toulouse Of the Wabash Road
and took large spike hammer thorefrom.
They then proceeded to the jail. Arriving
there, they awoke the jailer and demanded
the keys of the cells Being informed the.
Sheriff had the keys, they ordered the.
jailer to stand aside, and told him they
wanted no triaing; they came ihere to
lynch the negro. While some took care OF
the jailer, others broke down the jail door
with the spike hammer. After gain
ing admission, they found their vic
tim In an iron cell, the lock OF
which they broke of. The negro
evidently understood the meaning ~ the
noise outside the JAIL for he Immediately
set up piteous howl. He fought desper-
ately when they attempted to remove him,
and was shot several times by tie lynchers.
He was dragged about fifty yards from the
n Y
rope. 1t is thought he was dead even be-
fore ho was lynched. A negro who was ON
the lookout for trouble rang the school-house
bell for a few minutes, but failed 10 call out
many people, for they had some apprehen-
sion of the trouble and did not care to take.
part in it. The lynchers departed as ST
lently they came and left no clew as to
who they might be. The negro was
cut down by the Sheriff, who arrived short
~ after the iynching.
HowARD's CRIME.
Howard killed John Kane, q white man,
and, of course, general belief is that the
lynching party was composed of kane's
friends. Kane was a bridge builder and
had been building an incline at Cairo.
Howard was railroad section hand whose
home was at Grand Chain. If the men
had any previous acquaintance nobody
seems to be aware of the fact. They both
celebrated the Fourth in Cairo and in the
evening of that day both got on the train
that left here at seven O'Clock on the
Wabash road for Mound City. They got
into an argument on the cars, and il grew
into a drunken quarrel. There was a
number of people in the car and con
siderable talking and confusion, and il
seems nobody noticed these two we're quar-
reling until Kane whipped out a pistol. 1t
appears, however, he was too drunk to use
1t. The negro sprang on him and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp, fired two shots
in quick succession, then sprang from the
train and escaped. The first bullet struck
Kane in the forehead, making a flesh
wound; the second entered his chest, pro.
ducing death in about an hour. After he
was shot it was discovered Kane had been
cut, the negro having evidently used the
knife before Kane drew his pistol. This
happened Just as the train was entering
the depot at Mound City. Howard was
| captured next morning and jailed at Mound
| City until taken out this morning.

KNIGHTS OF llONoK AND SUICIDES
The Supreme Lodge Of the Knights Of
Honor, at its last session, resolved not
to pay the benefits Of those who cause
their own death, and the clause was
ordered to be inserted in applications
for membership hereafter; "AEd pro-
vidcd, further, the death Of sail-.-i is
not produced by suicide, no matter
whether he he sane or insane" Ever
Since the change was made the Eubor-
dinatc lodges have been arguing for
and against the new move with con-
siderable zeal. 1t is now proposed to
call i'll all the outstanding certificates
and insert the anti-suiciGc clause in
them. The members in New York
seem to be opposed to the new move,
and il is said will refuse to give up
their certificates, as ihcy claim there
was no intention Of making the law
retroactive, and the Supreme Lodge
could not if it wanted TO do so.
