| al alarm OF lire, which proved to he the
large livery stable of II. B. Derrick. which
IN few moments was wrapped IN flames.
Those first to reach the stable endeavored
to force the front door, and failed. hnt
gained entrance through the rear. The
nre rapidly spread and nothing was saved.
Eight or ten horses perished. Some were
cut loose from the stalls, but could not be
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 lncendaries. A short while after sus-
plclon pointed to a negro man discharged
several days since. He was arrested, de-
MED his guilt, but was locked up in the
calaboose. The proof was so convincing
that body of masked men took him out
and lynched him by shooting. They at
tached a card to the body which read:
This is warning to all house burners
(slgned) CITIZENS" The verdict of the
coroner's jury was ."death from pistol
shots by parties unknown" The night
Waterman at the calaboose was shot twice
IN the leg in his efforts to save the prison

HIS WISHES BALKED.
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-Bill Fox, the disso
lutte young fellow who deliberately mur
dered w. L. Howard, near Nevada, Mo-,
few days ago for his money, plead guilty
in court yesterday, saying his life had been
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.-MIton G. Fore
man, of Colfax, 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.-Accounts from Col
linsville, ILL.,, this morning report every
thing quiet Two companies of militia,
one from Edwardsville and the other from
Taylorsville, are on the ground and no
further trouble at that place or in that
vicinity is apprehended.
Col. Berkeley, of the 9TH regiment, ma
tional guards, is in command of the troops
and deputy sheriff Rogland, of ST. Clair
County, and sheriff Halsey, of Madison
county, are there with civil posses. The
Abbey company's two pits, which work by
machinery, the Confidence and Brookside
mines and two pits of the Collins
Vile company, all of which employ
only non-union miners, resumed work
! this morning. The mines are on the
Vandalia railroad and there is no
further danger of molestation so long
as the authorities guard them. The strik-
ers offered no opposition to the militia, nor
to the civil posses, and have left the neigh
borhood. The only other mines in oper-
alton In st. Clair county are at Marissa,
near Belleville. The strikers have ordered
them to shut down, but since both the
county and state authorities have taken
such active measures to preserve order
| and protect men willing to work, it is not
likely they will make any demonstration
there. 1t looks now as though the trouble
was ended, but whether the miners will
generally resume work at once, is not
known. 1t is said that the operators are
willing to pay the miners 215 cents, the
price demanded by them for digging, but
refuse to submit to other terms and con-
dltions imposed. Probably a compromise
will be effected in few days when opera
tions throughout the district will be re-
sumed.
ST. Louis, May 26.-AI is quiet tonight
at Collinsville 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 quelled 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 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 re-
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension of
persons who few nights ago fired small
bridge on that road near Belleville. It
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
BellevilIe, 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.
MURDERoUs POLICEMAN.
ATcHIsoN, Kas., May ga row oc-
Cured this evening in which Policeman
Taylor, colored, shot and instantly killed
colored man named Dick Turpin. There
is 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,
year or so ago, shot and killed a man
from Missouri and wounded another, and
was himself wounded.
