SUMMARY JUSTICE.

A Party of Masked Men in Nebraska
Lynch u Couple of Suspected Murderers.
At o'clock, ON the morning of the
10Th, eighty masked men went
to the house where Thomas
Jones and Mrs. Taylor lived, near
Spring Rancho, Clay County, Neb.,
took them to a bridge a few rods
away, and hanged them therefrom.
They were supposed to have been inn
plicated in the recent robberies in
that vicinity, and in the murder of
Edwin Roberts a month ago. Four
other persons in the house at the
time we're tied and guarded till day
break. Three of them were warned
to leave the county, as were William
and John Jones, under penalty of suf-
fering the same fate.

noble lord addressed his daughters:
"Victor Hugo. Notre Dame de- Paris!"
The poet bowed again. After a mo-
ment's pause Lord S. produced large
pocketbook, seeing which Victor Hugo
was prepared to be asked for his auto
graph. Instead OF making that re-
quest, however, the visitor looked at
his watch, then again at the pocket
book, and said: cat 10 o'clock the

after which speech the noble party of

every particular maintains the provis-
ions Of the act as it stands on the
statute books Of the state.

"A Sensation Created.
A sensation was created at Louis
vile, KY, on the 18th, by the an
nouncement that all the gambling
houses in the city had been closed.
Chief of Police Whallen notified all the
proprietors to close up or be raided.
One and all quietly shut up shop and
closed the games, many expressing
themselves as glad to quit the busi-
ness. Louisville has been a paradise
of gamblersfor years, and the amount
of gambling indulged in has been pro-
digious. A vigorous war on gaming
has been made recently, and the clos
ing is one of the results. 1t is not
known just what the result will be, but
it is thought the large houses, backed
by plenty of capital, will resume busi-
ness, while only the small establish
ments will be closed permanently.

Fewer Irish Immigrants.

New York Cor. Boston Herald.]
It is noted as peculiar fact at Cas-
tie Garden that the number of Irish
immigrants arriving is curiously small,
For a month back they have been
coming in from Ireland in very much
decreased numbers. until now there
are hardly any Irishmen on the ships
reaching port. The fact is rather puz-
cling to the Castle Garden authorities,
but it is easily enough explained by
anybody who has ever been through
Ireland carefully. The truth is, the
government isn't sending any people
over here this winter, and the reason
lies in the comparative prosperity OF
the country during the past year. In
famine years, which occur about once
II so often, lots of people are forced
into the almshouses, and government
agents simply go about among the
destitute, agreeing to pay their pas
sage to foreign countries. The biggest
and brawniest of them are sent to
Canada, Australia, and other British
possessions. The others are usually
shipped to America. Sometimes the
scheme .is detected, and the pau
pers are sent back to their native
country. But, as a rule, there is a
strong ambition among the Irish peo-
pie to get to America somehow, and
when they are questioned by the au.
thorities upon their arrival here, they
are willing enough to do almost any
kind of lying which will save them
from being sent back to the squalor
at home. It is in this way that in
in famine years the immigration ol
Irish people far exceeds that of Other
periods. The people coming over now
are mostly Germans and Swedes, with
a sprinkIing of English, Scotch, Welsh
and Italians. German and Swedish
immigration, in fact, appears to bt
growing larger, while the Irish is tall
ing of.

Fishes4x Hot Water.

From the London Globe
A stupid old story relates the pro-
fame language made use of by the fishes
"when Sol's perpendicular rays illu-
mined the depths of the sea-" AS to
what really happened on such occa-
sions, some experiments just
made by the secretary OF the
National Fish Culture Association,
and reported by the Fish Culture
Journal, give results certainly curious
and possibly practically useful. The
object was to discover the highest
temperature at which fish can exist in
water, the competitors being carp,
gudgeon, dacc, roach, perch, golden
tench, common tench, trout, salmon
and minnow. Not till the water
reached 80 degrees did any sign of
langour show themselves; and the first
that gave in was q perch at 80 de-
grees.
Then followed retircments in the fol-
lowing order-roach, salmon, minnow,
gudgeon, dace, common tench, golden
tench-until the carp was left winner
of the prize of endurance, holding out
till 81 degrees, three degrees better than
the best record below him. Having
taken the hot water heat with what
looked like fatal results, the natural
corrective was exhibited in the form Of
brandy, which to the dismay OF teeto-
tai practitioners, presently set all the
competitors swimming about in their
normal condition just as if nothing
had happened, with the sole exception
of one dacc, who died a martyr either
to science or to the somewhat heroic
remedy. Some surprise is expressed
at the endurance of the minnow, and
also the salmon, considering his es-
of the perch, who is known to have an
exceptional and CHARACTERISTIC antipa~
thy to warm water. It remains to be
shown, of course, in what way pisci-
culture is to be practically benefited

To he a candidate for Lieutenant Governor

would take warm personal interest in

relieved the darkness Of the Democratic
prospect. Mr.. Flower, however, though

The notion that all the advantages Of

him seems to have struck the Democratic

The Martins Ferry rioters made seri-
Gus mistake when they thought they
could accomplish any good for themselves
by their assault on the Laughlin mill.
Suppose they had leveled the mill to the
ground and destroyed every yestige Of it.
Suppose that every iron mill in the dis
trict conld be totally destroyed in night.
What would the strikers gain by that?
The loss would fall chiefly on the in
surance companies, which are not the OBJ
ject Of attack, butwouid probably rets!iate
by Withdrawing from this field. The rich
might get along without insurance. The
poor man whose home is burned looks to
his insurance to set him on his feet again.
Clearly thereis nothing gained tothe cause
ofiabor here.
The mill owners would be under no
compulsion to rebuild in this district or to
rebuild at all. They might close in with
some of the communities which are con-
stantly making bids for manufacturing es.
adjustments. They might decline to en-
ter again upon path SO thorny, prefer
ring to invest elsewhere and in other en-
terprises. Here again there would be no
gain to home labor. The destruction Of
the property which gives employment to
labor can affect disastrousIy the interest
Of the workingmen; it can never help
him.
In Wheeling hundreds Of wage-earners
own their own homes. They represent
something saved for rainy day and for
the family when their protector shall have
passed away. Its value which increases
or diminishes as the city grows or declines.
Take the industrial establishments away
from Wheeling, and the homes of her
workiugmen would be worth no more than
real estate in any other abandoned settle
ment.
We cannot afford to fight with these
weapons. Their edge is too keen and they
cut too deep.
