Advicss from Look burg, SEWER county,
Ark, say that Monday night week an at
tempt was made to lynch Henry Carr
and Lege Thompson, the remaining
prisoners of the Howard county rioters.
The would-be lynchers are supposed to
have come from Howard county, the scene
Of the riot. The jailor discovering the
intent Of the mob, ran to the church, and
by violently pulling the bell, called the
citizens to his aid. The lynohers then
unsuooessfully endsavored to shoot the
prisoners by firing through the barred
window. Thompson and Carr were sen.
tenced to be hanged last month, but were
granted new trial by the supreme
court. A strong guard has been placed
at the jsii.
The first electric railway for public use
in America went into operation In Cleve-
land, Ohio, on Saturday, in connection
with the Rast Cleveland street railroad.
The experiment on mile long road was
so suocessful that the company, it is
stated, expects TO change its entire
system, comprising over 20 miles, into
electric roads. The system used was a
combination of the Brush and knight and
Bentley systems, and the current was
carried on underground conductors laid
in conduits like those Of oatle roads. The
cars were started and stopped and re-
vsrsed with the greatest ease. Any
number Of cars mp to Is can be run at
one time on single circuit and from one
machine, which is a result not obtained
by any Of the European systems now in
operation.
