Crime.
CAIRO Ill, July o.
Mound CITY was the scene of much ex-
element this morning over the lynching Oh
Nelson Howard, colored, for the muroef
of John Kane on the 4th inst. About two
O'Clock a squad of twenty-five or thirty
masked men came up from the direction OF
Cairo ON three hand-cars, and unioaded at
a point lust below Mound City. They broke
omen the tool-house of the Wabash Road
and took large spike hammer therefroW.
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
taller to stand aside, and told him they
wanted no trifing; they came there to
lynch the negro While some took care Oh
the jailer, others broke down the jail door
ing admission, they found their vic
tim in an iron CELL the lock- OF
which they broke off. The negro
evidently understood the meaning OF the
noise outside the jail, for ne lm Inn,
ately when they attempted to remove INN,
and was shot several times by the lynchers.
He was dragged about fifty yards from the
iail and swung to limb of tree by q
rope. 1t is thought he was deaf even De"
the lookout for trouble rang the school-houSe
bell for a few minutes, but failed to call out
many people, for they had some appreher-
sion of the trouble and did not care to ia ke,

Howard killed John Kane, white man,
and, of course, general belief is that the r
lynching party was composed OF Names
friends. Kane was 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 tact. .1hey both
celebrated the Fourth in Cairo, and in tAe
evening of that day both got on the train
that left here at seven O'Clock on thos
Wabash road for Mound City. They got
into an argument OF the cars, ana 1T grew
into a drunken quarrel. There was
number of people in the car and con-
siderable talking and confusion, and it
seems nobody noticed these two were quar-
reling until Kane whipped out 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
train and escaped. The first bullet struck
Kane in the forehead, making hesh
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 me
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. G:ie lss

Two Queer Cranks.

The figure of a man lodging in and
out among the throng of Kearny street
promenaders arrested general attention
the other day. The explanation of his
erratic movements is that he is crank
whose hallucination is that he is made
of glass. He is in perpetual dread that
some one will rudely shatter him to
pieces before he can get to the vicinity
of cement shop.
A little, old, dried-up man, with a
furtive eye, was standing on Montgom-
cry street at MONDAY recently sur
rounded by a crowd. He had some
thing concealed under his coat. A
couple of ill-mannered boys were trying
to expose it. He made an effort and
escaped into brokers' shop. A re-
porter followed him.
"Do you buy diamonds?" he in
quired, anXious1y.
Cert, - was the clerks brief answer.
"Where are they?"
The man pulled his treasure from
his breast, and. unrolling a red cotton
handkerchief exposed a lump of quartz
crystal as big as q bassalt block.
''How much do you want for it?"
asked the clerk in all gravity.
IA million dollars !" was the reply.
The clerk gasped for breath. He had
expected to hear demand in the
thousands. Cant purchase till we
test he said, however, and selling a
hammer, he knocked a section off the
gem the size of half-pound slice of
cheese. Its owner looked little dis
heartened, bat he picked up the frag-
ment and pocketed it. ''We don't want
it to-day; but | can put you onto a
buyer," said the clerk.
''Tve got some more little cheaper
interrupted the man. He had one for
$500, 900, two for S25O,0O0 each, and
a bauble that he would part with for
$4,000.
.'Well, we've got stock" said the
clerk, but you go over here to the
