MORMONS MOBBED.
PrOselyters Beaten and Left Naked and
Bleeding in London Streets.

LONDON, August 26.-For some time past
several Mormon missionaries have been
laboring with great energy in the east of
London and have succeeded in making
many converts and proselytes in spite of
persistent and brutal opposition. Recently
there have been reports that these mis-
sionaries had been systematically kidnap-
ing handsome young women and shipping
them to Utah to be "sealed" to rich and
lecherous Mormons. All sorts of stories
have been told about harems kept by rich
Mormons and the indignties inflicted upon
the girls who were entrapped into becom-
ing their wives or 'concubines. These re-
ports have greatly exasperated the East
Enders, and last night an infuriated mob
invaded and took possession of the hall in
which the missionaries were speak
ing. The invaders stormed the platform,
smashed most of the furniture in the hall,
and made total wreck of everything on
the platform. Several of the elders who
had been conducting the services fled for
their lives. The rioters chasedathem
through the streets, pelting them with filth
and every sort of missile. that could be
picked up. Several of the elders were
captured and were terribly abused by. the
mob. Their clothing was torn to shreds,
and they were beaten until they were un-
conscious and almost lifeless. The rioters
evidently believing them dead fled and left
the Mormons lying naked and bleeding on
the pavement, where they were afterward
found by the police.

Cauaht in His Own Trap.

GRANVILLE, W., August 26.--Ira Lin
nell, with several other young men, has
been spending the past week in the woods
trapping bears. On Sunday morning he
went to visit distant bear trap to which
only weekly visits were paid, and, although
he did not return when expected, no anx-
iety was felt by his friends. Late Monday
afternoon farmer happened to pass near
the trap in question and thought to exam
inc it. Listening in vain for any indica-
tion of the presence of bear, he opened
the trap, and there, in faintipg cohdi-
tion he found young Linnell. 1t appears
that he had gone inside of the trap, big
box-lid affair for catching animals alive,
and while arranging the bait, accidentally
touched the spring that closed the door,
and he found himself imprisoned. For
thirty-six hou0 he remained in his prison
with no water and but little air, and his
only food was the raw meat with which
the trap was baited, and which hunger
finally compelled him to eat.

STILL LIVING.
The Most Remarkable Recovery ON Record
What Tobacco win Do.

---What Tobacco will Do.
OIL CRY, Pa, August 27.-Henry Sutton
is seemingly about to make one of the most
remarkable recoveries on record. A little
more than two weeks ago, while engaged
agitating an oil-well owned by Collins &
Thompson, at Stone Hill, near Warren, he
attached an iron rod, known as the polish.
rod, to the nd-pump line, and lowered it
to the bottom Of the well. A sudden rush
of gas threw the rod from the well and
about thirty feet into the air,
and in falling it, struck Sutton on
the right side Of the neck, came out on
the side below the breast-bone, entered
again at, the hip and emerged from the
flesh below the knee. The vital organs
were not penetrated, but it was thought
there was very little hope Of his recovery.
In spite of this Sutton has continued to
improve, Notwithstanding the fact that his
physicians say that 995 out of every
100000 such cases would die in less than a
minute after the accident, and that it
would be almost impossible for even
a knitting needle to follow the course
through mans body which this iron rod
did without entering a number of large
arteries, whereas the rod which passed
through Sutton was three-quarters of an
inch in diameter. A dispatch from War
rem to-day says "Sutton is getting along
nicely and gives every Indication of rapid
recovery. He sits up in bed and smokes,
habit which has q very strong hold on
him, but 1t has been source of strength
rather than anything else."

HALIFAX, N. S., August 2s.-The steamer
Nova Scotian, which arrived here to-day
from Liverpool. brought from st. Johns,
N. F., Captain Seablossom and twenty lone
of the crew of the American whaling brig
Isabella, which was lost in the ice in Hud-
sons Straits. The Isabella sailed from New
Bedford on May 81, 1884, and entered the
ice pack on July II. She was crushed in
the ice on the Goth of the same month,
twenty miles north of North Bluff. All of
the crew, twenty-three in number, and
a stowaway, were saved. They wandered
about on The ice for four days, suffering
intensely from the cold. They finally
reached settlement Called Acalier, and
remained there until September 0, when
the whaler Ezra arrived off the place, and
they were all taken ON board and kindly
cared for, but owing to the scarcity of food
on the Ezra both crews had to be put on
short allowance. While on board the Ezra
one of the Isabella's crew, Swede named
Francis Pemro, died of scurvy. The rest
of the men are all in good health.

A. Purdie, of the Fourth Regiment Illinois
National Guard, wounded during sham
battle at the State encampment, near Ot-
tawa, two weeks ago, died here to-day

EW0 officers Murdered by Burulars.

CHICAGO, August 2S. A mysterious
double murder was committed about 12
o'clock last night at Geneva, Kane County.
Ills, the victims being two of the three
officers Who constitute the police force. of
the town. The deed was committed right
in the center of that quiet place, near the
Couft-house, and some dozen shots were
heard by the residents in the neighbor-
mood, given in quick succession, at about
midnight, but no one left bed to find
out the cause of the turmoil, and It was
reserved for party of merry makers re-
turning from picnic, at about O'Clock, to
find the bodies of the murdered men and
raise the alarm. Officer McNatt was found
dead with bullet hole in the region of the
pers emptied, lying near him. McNatt lay
at the southwest corner of the Court house,
and several rods away, on the sidewalk,
was found Officer Grant, also, with bull.
let hole In the breast, but on the right
side, still breathing slightly, but un.
conscious, and the last life sparks fast
dying out. He was taken home, few
blocks distant, and died on the way. There
is as yet no clew to the perpetrators of the
crime, but it is surmissd 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
q night or two before. 1t is supposed that
last night the officers discovered the burg.
lars either at work or leaving the
scene of their unlawful activity, and that
IN the attempt to arrest them, the
officers being separated, the fatal shots
were fired by the thieves. Grants pistol
was found near his side, four chambers
being empty. Both murdered officers have
excellent regulations. Both the deceased
leave large families. The possibility that
their death was due to quarrel between
themselves is precluded by the fact that
they were goodfriends; that they were seen
late in the evening in amicable intercourse,
and that their bodies were found ute a
distance apart from each other.
