Was NOT Hung,

The first of the week the tele-
graph brought the tiding of a
wholesale lynching by COW boys,
at GAINESVILLE, Tex, in which a
young man named Mohr was mentioned
as one of the victims. This caused con
siderable anxiety to N, R. Mohr and FAM
lily, of this city, as their son, Louis, boy
16 years of age had run away from home
a short time before, leaving the impress.
sion that he had gone to the wild west,
and in the direction or Texas. Today
however, Mr.. Mohr received a letter from
his son dated Marysville, Kan. in which
he states he is doing well and enjoying
the rowing life on the plains. So he is not
hung yet.

New Sewer.

The residents along Nineteenth aud
Twentieth streets in the vicinity of Third
avenue, are securing subscriptions for a
private sewer, and petition has already
been prepared which will be presented to
the city council at its meeting next Mon
day evening There are two places for
the sewer contemplated; one is that it
commence on Nineteenth street nWr
Third avenue, and run south on Nine
teenth street to the alley south of Fifth
avenue, thence through said alley to
Sixth avenue, where it will be connected
with the sewer already laid. The other
route is to start on Sixth avenue and run
through the alley and down to the rear of
school building No. 4, thence TO sewer
on Eighteenth street. C. II. Stoddard
has already made surveys of both these
routes, but which one will be selected bas

The Posfomce

Il will have the contemplated changes
in the interior of the postoffice completed
by Monday" said Postmaster Halves in
answer to an inquiry on the subject. Il
will not interfere with the general deliv-
cry windows, but will close the stamp
window and combine that with the money
order department. This plan will meet
with the hearty approval of the postoffiee
patrons, and will be much better than U.S.
ing the stamp window for the general
delivery, as was suggested by the inspec-
tor who was here few weeks ago. In
order to keep within the reduced allow
ance for clerk hire, Maj. Halves was COM
PEELED to relieve James I. Beardsley from
duty the first of the month.

All in but One.

The assessors books from Canoe Creek
and Rock Island townships were handed
in to the county clerks Office today.
Rock Island shows the assessment this
year to be $2.3s6,087, which is $43, 151
greater than last year. The large increase
is accounted for by the immense amount
of improvement in personal property dur
ing the year. Canoe Creeks figures are
800, TIA. which is less by 81, 900 than in
1884. The assessors books are all in
now except South Moline.

DEAR ED1TREss AFTER writing you
- last letter we left Venice at night by
=, asoress for Geneva, arriving late the fol-
l ln1,ioo night, passing through the city
Il Turin and also through the great
Mount Gents tunnel on our way. Work
:. The funnel was commenced in 1861,
and was completed in 1870 at total
cost of 100000 francs or about SIS,
ooo 900, of our money. The celebrated
engineers Sommeiller, Grandis and
Grattoni had charge of the work, The
boring was done on both sides, and the
machines for doing the same were work
eddy compressed air. Aboutfour thous-
and laborers were employed in the work.
The tunnel is seven and three-fourths of
mile in length and is twenty-six feet
wide and nineteen feet high and lined
throughout with masonry.
The whole country from Turin to &C.
neva is very picturesque, and one is not
disappointed in the beautiful city of &C.
neva, that opens up to our view from the
cars. Geneva is the capital Of one of the
smallest of the Swiss Cautions and lies at
the south end of the lake of the same
name, OF, as it is sometimes called, Lake
Leman. Geneva, as seen from the lake,
presents very imposing appearance,
the banks of the River Rhone, which sep
arateS the city in two parts, being lined
with broad quays, and imposing build
lngS, The streets in the new part of the
city are wide and regular in shape, and
nicely paved. In the interior of the old
town the streets, with few exceptions,
are narrow, steep and crooked. From
the city on clear day, Mont Blanc can
be seen. In the Place DIES Alps is erect
ed a splendid monument of Duke Charles
H. Of Brunswick, who died in 1873, be-
queathing his large fortune (amounting to
100000 francs, to the town of Gene
Va and over which there has been con-
siderable litigation, afording fine
leaSt Tor the lawyers. On the opposite
sue OF the lake rises the national monu-
l N a bronze group of Helvetia and
GENEVA on lofty pedestal, by Durer,
'0lmemmorating the union of Geneva

out scarcity OF time compels me to STOP
as tar as Geneva is concerned, and has
ten to description of Lueerne. the next
city arrived at,
The city ofLucerne is situated on tba
lake Of the same name, and both the civ
and the lake are nicely enclosed on three
sides by mountains. From the hotel
y Wnere we were stopping, we had the
lofty Rlgl in front, Pilatus and the other
mountain peaks on the side. Lucerne
mas a tine esplanade and some CHARMING
resorts The chief among the local OBJ
Jects OF interest is ''the lion of Lucerne, p
cut IN the solid rock by Ahorn, under
the direction of Thorawlsden in
honor Of the Swiss soldiers who fell in
Paris in 1892. Two covered wooden
bridges with f,z,;-,t:.,1gs a1ao
we'll worth thorough INSPECTION. The
city is partly enclosed by well preserved
walls and watch towers, built it is said
in 1885, and these give the place apictur-
esque appearance. One of the covered
bridges above mentioned is called
Capell-brucke, and is decorated with I54
paintings, representing scenes from the
lives of the patron saints of Lucerne,
and events from Swiss history. Adjoin-
ign this bridge and in the middle of the
river (ReuSs) which is the outlet Of the
lake, rises the old Wasserthurm and
which contains the archives of the town.
According to tradition, this building was
once light house (Lucerna) and gave
the name to the town. After viewing
the town, and on the next day we took
sail on the lake. The trip to the other
end of the lake at Fluelen is one of the
most charming lake trips on this side of
the water. Several small towns are
passed on the way, and chalets dot the
hill-sideS in such marvellous ways that
one wonders how the occupiers can reach
them. Among the objects of interest
seen on the banks of the lake, is William
Tells chapel. 1t is said that when the
Austrian tyrant GesSer sailed up the
lake he took Tell with him, compelling
him to pilot the boat. A storm having
dashed up the lake into fury, the Govern
or wished to land, and Tell, having run
the boat to shore, leaped on land, and
with powerful push of his foot sent the
boat Back into the angry waves and made
his escape. The chapel commemmorates
the event.
ALONG the shore of the lake is the ia

prof. H. Ward, Dorchester Univer-
sity, who has in hand the mounting of
the skin and skeleton of Jumbo, stopped
a few minutes in this city yesterday, on
on his way to Bridgeport to see P. T.
Barnum. He says eve are mounting
the skin and skeleton in Rochester.
We had to erect small building in
which to do the work. Jumbo was I'M
like ordinary elephants, which are big
and round with oval backs. He was
more like a French horse with hollow
ed out back standing very high at the
shoulders. His head was drawn out at
the tuSks aud the forehead more curved
than the Indian elephants 1t will take
three months and $1,000 to mount him.
We have to build a wooden elephag,
like that at Coney Island, for a frame
and keep shaping it until it exactly gives
the right form with the skin upon it.
The frame has to be made strong with
heavy iron rods and bolts to prevent &C
cident in travel. Two special cars are
being built for the now double Jumbo.
After year abroad his skin will rest at
Tufts College and his bones at the Smith
sonion institute Washington. The peo-
pie at St. Thomas are preparing to Gre
