lsthmus- Rebels Drowned.

CHICAGO, April 19-When the
troops of the Colombian Government
finally entered Colon, after it had
been burned by the rebels under the
leadership of Preston, they captured
several squads of rebels. During
the past ten days the number of these
prisoners has been considerably
augmented by the receipt of strag-
Cling rebels captured in surround
ing districts. 1t is not known now
Just how many rebels were thus held
prisoners at Colon, but good author
ities place the number at about four
hundred. Authentic information
reached this city last night that on
Wednesday the officers of the Co.
lumbian Government selected one
hundred of the worst rebels impris-
oned at Colon and placing them on
board q steamer, carried them out
into tho bay, where the entire one
hundred were thrown overheard and
drowned.

A Horrible Death.

WHEELING, W. Va, April 16.-
[Speciall-One of the most terrible
accidents ever occurring in West
Virginia, in which but single life
was lost, occurred near Warrington
yesterday. Elijah Looman, a farmer
was in the woods near his home, on
a hill side cutting a large tree into
shingle lengths. He had cut the butt
off the tree, which was three feet in
diameter, and was cutting the next
length above. The trunk ofthe tree
rolled a few yards down the hillside
when the heavy roots turned over
and fell upon the unfortunate man,
pinniDg him to the ground. the sharp
roots impaling him in several pla-
ces, while the weight OF the mass,
resting upon mis- abdomen, literally
burst him open, his entrails being
forced out on the ground.

The Governor Plants . Tree.

HARRIsBURG, April 16.-Reports
reaching the State capital show a
very fair observation of the new
holiday, "Arbor Day." Here in
Harrisburg several trees were plant
ed in Capitol Park by attaches OF
the departments. Two are at the
entrances and a couple near the
Treasury Department. Governor
Pattison, accompanied by party OF
distinguished gentlemen, went to
the Millersville State Normal School
in Lancaster county, thirty miles
from here, and celebrated the day.
His party was made up of Senators
Hess, Reyburn, Ross. Wagner, Steh-
man and Harlan; Representatives
Davis, Brosius and Isenberg, and
State Superintendent of Schools
Higbee. The Governor and State
Superintendent made speeches al
the school. His Excellency then
planted a tree for the students, and
so did Superintendent Higbee, and
they will be called after the two Of
ficials.

Lamar moving Cautiously.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-It is re-
ported that recently number OF
Democrats were complaing of the
Administration in removing Repub-
lican office holders and putting Dem
ocrats in their places aud referring
to the dissatisfaction in the party
in the presence of Secretary Lamar
when that gentleman made little
speech to them, in which he pictured
the harm that might result from
undue haste and the good that would
come from deliberation. 1t is said
he added somewhat significantly
that they should remember thai
not only new party but new mer
had come into control of the Govern
ment; that the men in charge of tn,
departments could not familiarize
themselves with the vast interests
and duties entrusted to them in .
day and it was better to proceed
slowly and cautiously in making Sc
lections Tor Office, both for the Ad
ministration and the country.

COlOred Democrats.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-It is un-
derstood that the policy of the ad-
ministration with regard to appoint
ments to places in the Southern
States, whic are now held by colored
Republicans, will be not to substi-
tute white men for colored, but re-
place incompetent or dishonest col
ored Republicans with colored Dem
ocrats who are worthy and capa-
BILE.
In accordance, it is said, with this
policy, the Postmaster General has
just appointed ex-Representative

Russia Gains a Point.

LONDON. April 15.-In the Cabi-
net council to-day the Anglo-Russian
situation, is said, was represented
to be as follows: England and Rus
sia have agreed upon basis for a
delimitation of the Afghan frontier
subject to satisfactory explanation
by Russia of the recent attact on the
Afghans. According to this scheme
it is said that Penjdeh will be ceded
to Russia. provided the Ameer con.
sents. The departure of the Dra-
goons from Brighton for India which
was fixed for to-day, has been post
poned, pending the issue of the ne.
gotiations between Russia and Eng
land.
1t is believed in British official
circles that there is no change in the
Afghan situation. No reliable infor-
nation with reference to the dispute
is expected for some days vet.

Hung TO n Flag Stan.

PIERRE, ID. T., April 16.-Early
this morning a mob Of about %
men came from Harold and Blunt
and taking James III. Bell, Of Har-
rold, from the Jail, hanged him TO
the flagstaff of the Court House.
Bells offense was the murder OF
Fores, G.. Small, lawyer, formerly
of Sterling, Ill, December 4th last.
The jailer and his deputy, who slept
in the building, were corraled 10
their room. The lynchers did not
take more than Is minutes. at the
end of which the Sheriff arrived
from the hotel and cut the body of
the victim down. The mob dis
persed at his appearance.
No attempt was made to harm
bis coniessing acomplice, Bennett,
who was in Jail when they came
through. They came provided with
two ropes. Had not the town been
alarmed by telephone to every pub
lie place Bennett would undoubted-
| ly have suffered, but in twenty min
utes over two hundred people were
on the ground from the different
hotels.
Not one of the mob has been
identified, though none were mask.
ed when they left Blunt, nor had
they any kind OF disguises till they
came here. There is but little de.
nuunciation of the lynching, as day
by day charges of other rascalities
against Bell, even to suspicion o.
another murder of few months
earlier date, are coming to the sur
face.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., April 15.-Mrs.
Harriet Granger, an old resident
of Sharon, Penn, shortly after
her marriage was compelled, by the
death of her husband, to earn hel
own livelihood and that of her in
iant son by work which necessitat'

in the care of others. One day the
child was mysteriously spirited
away, and year after year with heavy
heart the mother continued vair

within her power. More than forty
years passed and she had grown
aged and gray. A few days age

which told her where her son was
and the name he bore, She lost nc
time in reaching him and the meet
ing was deeply affecting. The son

rested supposed crazy negro named
Nathan Williams, who, with knife
in his hand, was chasing another
man through the streets After his

Shot a Friend by Accident.

CHAMBERsBURG, April 16.-An eX-
ample of the danger attending the
careless use of firearms was exhibit
ed in Mercersburg, Franklin county
last night. d. F. Metcalfe, a. shoe
merchant of that place, was in Nc
Afee's hotel when George w. Will

mer,, picking up toy gun. jokingly
remarked to the latter that he was
going to shoot him. Wilkins re-

raised it TO a perpendicular position
it was accidentally discharged. The
ball entered Metcalfe's mouth and
lodged in the upper part of his head.

though the wound is dangerous
one, it is thought Metcalfe may re-
cover.

Mt. Zion, o., April 15.-One of
the most daring robberies ever known
in this section occurred near this
place last night. About twelve
o'clock three masked burglars broke
in the door of Andrew Coleman's
house and seized Coleman, who is an
invalid, binding him to his bed /.
His wife was also bound. A son.
ten years of age, was taken from his
bed by the thieves, who tied him up
by his thumbs and whipped him
with cord to compel him to tell
where mis- father kept his money.
The boy protested his ignorance OF
the place and the father, to prevent
further injury to his boy, told the
thieves where to find $1,000. This
they took and left without releasing
the child from his painful position.
A younger brother managed to re-
lease him. 1t is feared he is Grip
pied for life. The thieves also took
horse and buggy belonging to Cole
man, which they left after driving it
dozen miles to a railroad sta
ton.

Escape from a Burning Mine.

LINCOLN, ILL, April 16.-The'
Lincoln Coal Company's shaft and
landing caught fire this morning and
were soon a mass of flames. From
ten to twenty miners were at the
bottom. The fire was caused by
the explosion of a torch in the oil
room. The cages we're kept running
until few minutes before the wire
cable snapped in two. The follow
ing men were than known to he at
the bottom Theodore Reed, John
Walshe, Pat Campbell, Mike Savage,
Jack Cane and Jerry CONTEXT. These
men succeeded in making their way
20 the encampment shaft nearly a
mile away, so that no lives were lost
as was at first feared. The fire was.
extinguished with loss of about
$1,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-Chief
Detective J. w. Lees has discovered
that Lennox Maxwell, who is alleg-
ed to have murdered Arthur Preller
in st. Louis on April 6. recently ar
rived in this city. Maxwell pur-
chased his ticket in St. Louis, sign
ing his name as H. NJ. Brooks.
When he arrived here he registered
at the Palace hotel as T. C. D'Aug-
nier, and claimed to be French
army officer. When spoken to in
French he replied in English. On
Sunday last he purchased a steerage
ticket on the steamer City of Sidney
for Auckland, New Zealand, and
signed his name as D'Augnier. A
cable dispatch will be sent to Auck-
land for his arrest, and a letter was
sent by the steamer Alameda to
Honolulu, so that in the event of his
stoppage there, that place being a
calling port of the City of Sidney, he
may be apprehended. The police,
however, think that he will change
his course at Honolulu and take
passage for China or Japan by some
sailing vessel, in which case all trac-
es of him will probably be lost.
1t was learned last night that
while he was at the Palace botel be
was unable to open the trunks he
had with him, and sent for lock-
smith, saying be had lost his keys.
After the trunks were opaned large
quantity of burned paper was found
in a CRATE in the room. These may
have been Preller's letters and pa
pers, A most important fact is that
the baggage checks delivered by
Maxwell, under his alias of D'Aug-
nier, to the Pacific transfer company
of this city, correspond with the
numbers issued at st. Louis by the
st. Louis and San Francisco railroad
company to Hugh NJ. Brooks.

Shocking Discovery IN st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April IA, 1885,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April IA, 1885,
A horrible discovery was made
yesterday in the Southern Hotel, at
ST. Louis. The murdered and de-
composed body of a middle aged
man was found in trunk in one of
the rooms. The room had been oc-
cupied by two men registered as
"Walter II. Lenox Maxwell, NJ. D."
and sc. Arthur Preller," both of
London, England. Maxwell left the
hotel last Sunday week, but as he
had paid his board regularly no no.
tice was taken OF his departure, and
it was thought he would return. The
odor from the trunk led to its being
opened, when the ghastly discovery
was made. On one side of the
trunk, over the head of the corpse,
was printed in large letters the
words: $50 perish all traitors to the
great cause
