Public Street.

Three Men Shot Dead and One Fatally
and Another Slightly Wounded on a
Public Street.
Hot SPRINGS, ARK, Feb. "a terrible
tragedy was enacted on the main street
of this city this morning about II O'clock
Three brothers named Frank, Jack and
William Flynn wer proceeding home in
a hack when party Ofseven men, armed
with do9ble-barrel shot guns, stepped out
from the door Of a saloon and
opened fire. The Flynns were
armed, but the attack was totally
unexpected. Jack Flynn was shot
through the forehead by a ball from a
Winchester rifle and died in a few min
utes. William was shot through the
breast and the wound will probably prove
fatal. Frank received a shot through the
hand, inflicting slight wounds. Frank
Hall, the driver of the hack, was shot
through the back of the neck and died an
hour afterward. Robert Hargrave, by
stander, was shot through the breast and
will probably die.
j. IL. Craig, a prominent lumberman,
received charge of buckshOt through the
back, and his condition is considered pre-
cariOus.
THE CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING.
The difficulty originated some weeks
ago in the effort of Frank Flynn to pre-
vent a man named DOran from opening
gambling house. 1t eliminated at the
time in DOran making a cOwardly attempt
to assassinate Frank, failing in which he
fled the city. He returned few nights
ago, but Flynn was unaware of his pres
ence in the city until the fatal volley was
opened on him. The seven men who did
the shooting were arrested and are
now in Jail. They are S. A.

man named Howell and three others.
The most intense excitement prevails,
and strong threats Of lynching the pris-
oners are made. The citizens are loud in
their condemnation of the murderous and
cowardly act. Judge Wood has been
telegraphed to by leading citizens, re-
qusting him to adjourn court at Malvern,
and return here and hold a special session
to try the murderers. If he consents, the
law will probably be allowed to take its
course. If not the citizens boldly threaten
to burn the iail and hang the nrisoners

OF the Great Hebrew fbiiantn ropisI.
There was an interesting ceremony Sun
day evening in the Jewish synagogue, or

the great Hebrew philanthropist. Every
seat was occupied, Jew and Christian alike
being desirous of doing reverence to the
purest and most distinguished philanthro.

The synagogue was prettily decorated
with flowers and evergreen. Above the
pulpit arch was life.sizsd bust OF Sir
Moses, framed in evergreen. The altar

During the service Rev. Ungsrleidei
called attention to the fact that there was

Is anyone foolish enough to suppose
that this act is not being violated in
numberless cases during every day of
Mr.. Blaine's canvass ? The political
thumb screw has been brought to bear
on government employees in every direc
tion, and those who refuse to pay the
assessments levied by the national
highwaymen are put upon black list TO
be kept for future reference. or course
the contributions are voluntary" just
as the man, who, when overtaken by a
highwayman at night with pistol in

4 Fool by His Own Definition

In 1858, when Horatio Seymour, after
the October elections appealed in person
10 the people, Mr.. Blaine pretended to be
exceedingly shocked at such lack of
dignity In presidential candidate He
even found courage to say that Mr.. Ssy.
mour was making fool Of himself. In
q speech at the Brooklyn academy Of
music he declared that ''the candidate of
the Democratic party, in wild dispair at
the result of the state elections, is
travelling through the country on ex
press trains, at the rate Of thirty miles
an hour, with disheveled hair and wild
companions, engaged In the hopeless
task of reviving the impaired constitu
tion of the Democratic party adding
that Zone presidential candidate
making fool Of himself at
the rate of thirty miles an hour is
enough, and General Grant, in the garb
Of . plain citizen, quietly awaits the yer.
dict OF the people in his modest home at
Galena.''
50, too, now one presidential candidate
making fool Of himself at the rate
Of thirty miles an hour Is enough, and
Gov. Cleveland quietly awaits the yer.
dict OF the people in the state house at
Albany.
But is 1t not notable that Mr., Blaine
should be the man making fool Of him
self, according to his own definition of
the deed ? We cannot say that it is
surprising, rs well as notable, for incon
sistency between word and deed is char
acteristic OF Blaine, and he cannot be
relied upon to speak alike on any two
successive occasions just because he is
an unprinclpled time server, who always
acts under the seeming exigency of the
moment, uuhampered by steady convic.

The spectacle of a presidential candi-

tearing his boot upon the barbs of a wire

apt to prompt the idea that the man ia

president. and that it Is significant Of
