LONDON, June ga special weekly
financial statement says: The London
Money market is in the same lifeless con-
dition that has been its chief character
istic for some weeks. The drain Of gold
TO Germany has caused slight advance
in discount but the real demand for &C
commodation is unchanged. Three
months bills are I per cent, and short
loans ! to } per cent. In Capel Court
there is extreme stagnation, with tend
ency toward lower prices Investors
hold aloof Outside spectators are
also growing scarce. In the absence of
business legitimate spectators have been
indulging themselves in running up new
enterprises to sensational premiums and
then coming out before the crash comes
Thus the Chinese loan was quoted at one
time at premium and the new Cana
dian loan at premium. Investments in
Americans have been checked by the
reports of the harvest prospects. The
business throughout the week was chiefly
on New York account There was no in
ducements for operations on this side.
The Standard, in its financial article
this morning, says it is creditably in
formed as to the state of stocks of both
wheat and -four throughput the king
dom, and that it will be 54eiiscouraging

to the distressed American holders, since
they promise to be much larger than was
the case three months ago. There is also
800, 900 quarters more of wheat in pas
sage to Great Britain than last year.
Notwithstanding the absence of Ameri-
can sellers from the English markets
the Americans are, in fact, giving the
rest of the world an excellent chance for
supplying England at prices which
though low, are still much better than il
America had been in full competition

The death-rate, independent Of epidem-

Three More Strung up on a Limb by a
hob I'm Texas.

GAINESVILLE, Ten, June 29.--Yes
terday the lynehings OF FIVE horse-thieves
are reported IN addition to a recent re
port that fifteen men had been hanged
in two weeks. Efforts to substantiate
the last mentioned report resulted in
positive proof of the hanging, week
ago. near Healdtawn, OK Frank Morgan,
Bill Williams and boy named Moore.
Bill Williams, farmer living near Mud
creek, was suspected, and persons wGFe
detailed to watch him. When it was
learned that Williams had unlaw-
fully taken possession of another
mans horse, thirty-two determined
men visited mis- house and ar
rested him. Williams bid his family
an affeetionate farewell, and told then.
that If he did not return In two days
they might know he was dead. Williams
was then led several miles away into
some thick timber, where they were met
by another party having in charge Frank
Morgan and the boy Moore By an
unanimous vote the men decided to hang
Williams and Morgan. Some contended
that. by reason Of the boys youth, it was
hest to turn him loose with moderate
punishment, but it was finally decided,
as there were great probabilities of his
becoming troublesome CRIMINAL, IL was
better he should die. Accordingly
all three were strung up on one limb.
Some of the posse climbed up on the
limb and pressed down with their feet
upon the shoulders of the criminals in
order that they might die the quicker.
After the men were dead they were cut
down and all buried together The
posse then started on a man hunt up to
the Waehita river and reports came
back that they captured and lynehed
nine more, thus makinga total of twelve.
The latter report, however, lacks CON
firmation and modes of communication
are SO uncertain that the facts are hard
to get. The noted detective Jack Dun
can, at the head of squad Of well-armed
men, has gone to the Indian Territory in
search of the outlaws Jim and Hank
Lee. He has three well-trained blood
hounds with him which he will use
when the trail is struck. 1t is learned
that three other squads are also in the
field on the same errand. The Lee boys
have long been terrors to the Delaware
bend people. For the past few months
they have been Ioafng about that section
unfortunately. They have repeatedly
announced that they would never sur
render, and interesting news may be ex-
pected from that quarter.

Revolts among the Indians, with the
consequent massacre of men, women and
children, are fearful things to exist amid
or civilization, ard the horror is that
the greater outbreaks usually occur
not from the viciousness Of the Indian,
but from the dishonesty and oppression
of the white man. Last fall several
Eastern gentlemen went among the
Apaehes at San Carlos. They found them
sontented and industrious, cultivating a
farm, but learned from Gen. Crook that
matters were less serene below the sur
face; four things required attention.
The people were destitute of clothing
FOX the winter, and widows and children
especially would suffer terribly. The
government should recover the captive
children Of the Apaches that had been
carried off into Mexico. A grist-mill
was wanted, that the crops raised might
be utilized Last, and perhaps worst,
second trader was wanted, the only one
allowed using bis monopoly as monopo-
ISIS always do, 10 eztort and Cypress.
The visitors on their return made
these facts known. They were in
formed that clothes had been sent,
but the Indians geyer got
them. Secretary Lincoln promised that
the case Of the children should have at
tention. Their release would have Sc
cured the gratitude Of the Indians, but
It never came. The Indians were dis
armed and required to keep within their
reservations, end there they are entitled
by treaty 70 food, clothing and safety.
They often get none Of these things. The
injured Apaehes, since the visitors we're
among Saem, have revolted, driven to

medal measures are adopted, before the
capital viii have to be removed to an
other location Spite Of the salubrious
atmosphere, lung diseases are prevalent
and twenty per cent of the deaths are
from consumption and pheuronia; near
Is the whole Of these are from the alb
jectly poor. These live in dark base
ments and novels even on chilly nights
and damp days they have no fire in their
dwellings, and colds are more common
there than in New England. Although
situated 1900 feet above the sea level,
malaria is very fatal, thirty-three per.
cent. Of the deaths being from typhoid
and other forms of gastric fever. There
are marshes in the neighborhood, the
sewers have no drainage. and the rari6ed
air is the only thing that prevents
the incorrigable propagation Of the
ger of disease. The valley in
whl,a the city stands requires draining
but such work would be immense The
suferings of the Mexican capital are,
therefore, not due to mere neglect, but
they none the less demonstrate the i'm
portant fact that even an atmosphere
that visitors pronounce heavenly, will not
save from disease where the poor live in
an unsauitary fashion, and where good
drainage is not present to carry off the
vicious material that poisons the public
health. Several projects are on foot to
drain the infected valley, but the vast
expense makes such a work almost i'm
possible. In only one way can that val
ley be sanitated, that is by cremation in
large furnaces of the city filth, aud of
that plan the citizens have not yet caught
sight. Eucalyptus trees should be plant
ed in the marshy places. The case of the
City of Mexico is of interest to us here
as proof that, even in the finest climate
and the purest atmosphere, public health
cannot be kept up to an average point
without salubrious dwellings, necessary
comforts and good drainage or crema-
tion-the burning up of all solid refuse
matter IF this be the case in such a
climate and atmosphere as that of the
City of Mexico, how imperative such
sanitary care must be in cities not en-
joying equally favorable conditions. Ma
ture foreibly proelaims the great truth
to communicate clean or die.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, June 29.-Mrs.
William Smith, of No. 10 Dean street,
this city, who says she is sister of John
Mccullough, the actor, states that when
he came to this country, mere lad, he
became separated from his family when
they arrived at Castle Garden, New
York. He was cared for by man who,
not being able to find his guardian, took
him TO Philadelphia, where, when very
young, he found his way on the stage,
having natural abilities in that direction.
Mccullough was not discovered by his
relatives until comparatively recent time,
when Mrs. Smith, his only sister, found
that he had become famous as an actor,
and Immediately wrote to him, inguiring
about his former life, but says she has
reason to believe that all her letters were
intercepted, as she never received re-
ply to any of them Through friend
who had a conversation with McCuls
Tough, and who questioned him in regard
to his former life, she found that there
were no reasons for doubling that
Mccullough was her brother, as
his statement agreed with what
she knew of his former life.
She also says that a man who has been
with Mccullough on the stage has Dor
rowed a great deal of money from hun,
not long ago borrowing $4,000, and that
he was attempting to prove that MeCul-
Tough had no relatives for the purpose of
coming into possession of MeCullough's
money, or part of il. 1t has been stated
recently that Mccullough has wife and
two sons, one thirty and the other thirty
four years of age, but this statement Mrs.
Smith declares entirely false, as she says
Mccullough was never married. She
thinks his removal to Bloomingdale
Asylum was unnecessary, as he was not
violent.
