an armed body Of twenty-five men tried
to force their way into the jail and hang

the door slightly, when the fore

tried to force the door open.
Stephens was able, being a man Of great
strength, to shut the door in their faces
and bolt IL. lie then relit his lamp and
got his shotgun. The mob fired through
a window, the bullets barely missing Mrs.

himself behind projecting wall,
leyelled his shotgun and dared them
to enter. They did not dare

There is an established tradition among
miners that one accident in the mines Is
sure to be followed in short order by
others. This belief has been strengthened
among the miners recently by several ae-
cidents, the last Of which occurred
at Carteryille on Tuesday, when
three men entered the tub to
be lowered into the mine. The shaft is l25
feet deep, and when the men were about
halfway down the machinery became
unmanageable, letting the tub and its oc-
cupants fall the rest of the distance TO
the bottom. Much 10 the surprise Of

killed, neither Of the men were serI0nsly

CINCINNATI, o., April "a.
Twice within two years the Ameri
can Oak Leather Tanning Company has
suffered an immense loss from fire.
About two O'Clock this morning, while
the watchman was building fire under
the boiler, he was startled by cracking
and blaze overhead in the drying room.
He Immediately gave the alarm, but the
fire had gained considerable headwRy and
in a few minutes an immense blaze lighted
up the entire city. The nremen worked
hard, but finding they could not save the
main building, they turned their atten-
tlon to the eastern and western wings.
The fire was terribly hot and the fremen
had several narrow escapes from being
crushed TO death under the falling walls,
which commenced about three O'Clock.
The warehouse was stored with tan
bark, and the drying-house contained 100
barrels OF gasoline. 1t is well this build
ing was saved, otherwise the fire would
have played dreadful havoc with the ad-
joining buildings. No accurate estimate
OF the actual loss is possible yet, but 1t is
estimated at S300,000 to 100000; in
sured for 100000 in 100 companies. The
tannery was destroyed in January, 1882,
and rebuilt on more elaborate scale,
which gained for 1t the distinction of be-
ing the largest In the world. The com.
pany have suffered heavy losses by the
floods of the past two years.
