TWO POLICEMEN SLAIN.
EACH FOUND WITH HIS EMPTY
REVOLVER BESIDE HIM.

Burglars Believed TO Have Fired the
Fatal Shots The Firing Heard by
Many People, but Not InvestigAted-
Large Families Left by Each OF the
Deceased.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-A mysterious
double murder was committed about u
O'Clock last night at Geneva, ILL.,, the vic
Tins being two of the three officers who
constituted the police force Of the town.
The deed was committed right in the
centre OF the place, near the court house
and some dozen shots were heard BY the
residents in the neighborhood given in
quick succession at about midnight. but
no one left his bed to find out the cause OF
the turmoil, and 1t was reserved for a
party of merrymakers returning from a
picnic at about l O'Clock to find the bodies
OF the murdered men and raise an alarm.
THE FIRST CORPSE.
Officer McNott was found dead, with a
bullet hole in the region of his heart His
revolver, with five OF it's chambers emp-
tied, was lying near him. Officer McNott
lay at the southeast corner Of the court
house, and several rods away, on the side
walk, was found officer Grant, also with
bullet hole Ia his breast. He was still
breathing slightly, but was unconscious,
and the last life-sparks were fast dying
out. he was taken to his home, few
blocks distant, and died on the way.
NC CLUE TO THE MURDERERs.
There is as yet no clue TO the perpetra-
tors OF the crime, but il is surmised that
both officers died in the discharge Of their
duty. There have been several attempted
burglaries in the town OF late, the last
one occurring but night or two before.
II is supposeC'that last night the officers
discovered burglars either at work or
leaving the scene of their unlawful act.
and that, In the attempt TO arrest them,
the officers being separated, the fatal
shots were fired by the thieves.
COULDN'T HAVE QUARRELLED.
Officer Grants pistol was found by his
side, four chambers being empty. Both
OF the murdered officers had excellent
regulations. Both leave large families.
The possibility that their death was due
to quarrel between themselves is pre-
cluded by the fact that they were good
friends, that they were seen late in the
evening in amicable intercourse, and that
their bodies were found quite distance
from each other.

INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
One Man Killed Outright and Several
More Verv Painfully Injured.

More VerV Painfully Injured.
ROME, GA, Aug. 2S.-A terrible acci-
cent occurred on the Georgia Division OF
the East Tennessee road to-day, the par
tioulars of which are as follows: just be-
yond East Rome, at what is known as the
Y, sidetrack is being built by the East
Tennessee road for the purpose of carry
ing rails and cross ties for the Rome and
Carrollton road, now in the course Of con-
struction. The sidetrack has reached a
point about 30 yards from the main track
OF the East Tennessee line. A switch has
just been tinished,at the point where the
sldetrack joins the main line.
AN UNLOCKED SWITCH.
This afternoon section boss went of
to obtain staples to lock the switch, Civ
ing such instructions to the section
hands as he deemed necessary. The
switch at this time was open and the
hand car had just passed over and re-
turned. From what followed il appears
that the switch at that time was either
not closed or was shortly afterwards
again opened. The testimony on this
point is conflicting. At 1 AS o'clock this
afternoon passenger train, with two
coaches and sleeper, started for At
lanta. on reaching the switch the engi-
neer discovered that it was open and re-
versed the engine, but it was too late,
and the train Numbered along on the side
track, and in moment had reached the
end of the track and was on the ground.
THE ENGINE ON IT'S SIDE.
The engine turned completely on its
side, and two coaches were ditched. The
engine Is a complete wreck. just as the
engine reached the switch q negro section
hand named Lindsay Williams Jumped
over to the side track, and was struck aud
instantly killed. His body was frightfully
mangled. Engineer John Bowers stood
faithfully at his post. His ankle was
painfully mashed. Fireman Charles Bel
lows had his leg broken. John Thomas, a
colored porter, had his leg broken. 1t
was amputated by DR.. j. b. S. Holmes.
None OF the injuries are fatal. A Coro-
ner's jury was impanelled and found that
the accident occurred through the crimi-
nal negligence of Jerry Reed, a colored
section hand employed on the East Ten
nessee road.

LOCKE LYNCHED.
ExhsustInS of His Cartridges the Only
Salvation of Four Families.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Aug. 2S.-Infor-
nation from San Marcos reports that a
mob of rs persons at Blanco Wednesday
night went to the Jail and demanded Of
Sheriff jackson the keys. Sheriff Jack
son said that he did not have them. He
also declared he could not procure them.
After a severe struggle Sheriff jackson
was oVerpowered. The keys were found on
his person and the mob entered the Jail
and took out Locke, the man who COM
mitted wholesale murder IN johnson City
few days ago. They hanged him, after
obtaining from him statement In regard
to his crimes. Locke made a full confess
sion, and SAID that he had intended to kill
all the members of three or four families
besides those he murdered, and was pre-
vented from doing so only by his car
tridges giving out.
SWUNG WHILE TALKING.
AUSTIN, TEX, Aug. 2S.-The reported
lynching of AL Locke, who murdered five
people at Blanco City, is confirmed by a
stage driver, who arrived here this morn
ing. He says that at 8 O'clock, on We'd
nesday night, party OF about sixty un-
masked men stormed the jail, overpow-
cred the sheriff, and carried Locke TO
neighboring grove. When asked whether
he had ruined his daughter, as was ru-
mored, Locke replied that he did
not remember having committed
such an act. He did not inquire whether
his daughter was dead or not and was
under the impression that he had killed
six persons outright, instead of FIVE, for
he said tha, he had intended killing six
more and had not done so only because
his ammunition gave out at this point.
The mob not caring to hear more of his
bloodthirsty recital swung him up to a
tree and departed, leaving his body hang
ing. The driver also stated that the body
was still hanging to the tree when he
passed the spot at II O'Clock on Thursday
morning.

Judge French Claims That the Question
Has Already Been Decided.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2S.-Judge Asa P.
French, of the Court OF Alabama Claims
arrived In this city to-day. In regard to
the recent decision OF Comptroller Dur
ham, Judge French said that the question
as to the right OF the court to employ the
necessary assistants was considered
when the old court was organized,
and 1t was decided that they had
the authority. The new court was
modelled upon the old, with the exception
only that there were three Judges instead
OF hve. Secretary Fish, and subsequently
Secretary Frelinghuysen, Comptroller
Lawrence and other officers having
charge OF the accounts, decided that the
court has the right to employ assistant
counsel, clerks, etc. Judge Creswell,
special counsel, says that the question
was thoroughly discussed and the au-
thority of the court conceded. 1t was
impossible, he said, for the court to do
otherwise than employ assistants to cross
examine witnesses in various parts of the
country. he says that Secretary Fish at
one time decided that the United States
Minister at the Hawaiian is ands could
receive fees from the court for services
rendered as special counsel.

The Recent Accident on the FELTON, An
anonymously Explained.
Aug .28.-Chiefo of Detec-
tives Kelly received aa anonymous note
this morning in reference to the explosion
on the steamer 5. NJ. FELTON, as follows:
1.-The FELTON, explosion was dynamite.
The people who had it did not intend to
explode 1t, but were on the boat at the
time, and were taking il home to use. 1t
will be impossible for you TO discover
them, but to remove suspicion OF evil
intent from others this statement is made.
Your investigation should be to that end"
The note Is evidently written in a dis
guised hand.
The detectives, who are still engaged In
their thus far fruitless investigation OF the
mysterious fatality, are firm in their con-
vIction, however, that the explosive was
placed near the boiler by malicious hands,
and declare that there was not sufficient
heat in the spot at which the disaster
occurred 10 cause the explosion.
