Two More by the Pistol Route.


CARROLLToN, No., Aug. 9.-Among
Others who attended the Presbyterian
church at ColOma, this county, Saturday
night, was David Marbles and his divorced
wife. At the close of the services Mrs.
Marbles was being assisted to mount her
horse by young man of the neighborhood
who had accompanied her to church, when
Marbles stole up behind his wife, placed
a pistol to her head and blew her
brains out. The murderer Immediately
went home, and hardly entered when the
house was surrounded by a mob OF men,
who demanded his surrender. Thinking he
was to be the victim of summary vengeance,
Marbles placed pistol to his own head,
fired and fell dead. The young couple
were married about three years ago, lived
together for one year, when she applied for
and received divorce on the ground of
mistreatment. Since their separation he
has been jealous of any attention paid her
by other men, and it was this which led to
the double tragedy.

Cattle Kings Knocked out.

Special 10 the Glove.
ST. LOUIS. No., Aug. 9.-The refusal of
President Cleveland TO grant the request of
the cattle delegation was a surprise to some
OF the interested parties here who hoped at
least for an extension of time, but with the
majority the result was anticipated. and
although request was addressed By the
merchants exchange TO President Cleveland
in the interest OF the cattle trade, which
created the impression that the exchange
had indorsed the cattle kings, there was
great lack of sympathy in the movement.
Resolutions which had been prepared were
not adopted, but in their stead a petition
was agreed TO. The prevailing feeling is
that the president acted wisely, and his
course meets with general approval.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 9.-Particu-
lars of terrible case of mob violence were
received here this evening. Two years
since Henry and Sylvester Polk and James
Kirkendall waylaid and murdered peddler
named Ward in Howard county. They
divided his money and cremated his re-
mains. Sylvester Polk became conscien ce-
stricken and confessed. Several trials fol-
lowed, the last resulting in conviction.
Sylvester Polk being sentenced to hang and
Henry Polk to term of twenty-one years
in the state prison. Kirkendall died before
the sentence could be pronounced. Recently
the supreme court granted the Folks new
trial. Friday night a mob suddenly
appeared before the jail at Muir
treesbOro, where the Polks were confined.
The men battered down the doors and en-
tered, but could not get into the iron cage
i'll which the PolkS were kept. They be-
gan firing into the cell-the miserable pris-
OnerS ran too and fro begging for mercy.
a bullet soon struck down Sylvester. Henry
partially concealed himself in a reservoir.
The mob got lot of blankets, saturated
them i'll coal oil and set them on fire. They
then rode away thinking their victims dead.
The horrible cries of the burning man drew
a crowd and he was rescued. He was so
badly burned that he will die. Sylvester
Polk is still alive, but his wound is thought
to be mortal. The jail was kept from burn
ing by the heroic efforts of the citizens.

general alarm had been sounded the
chief clerk and three other employees of
the house rushed to the fourth floor and
unreeled fire hose attached to various

inexperienced hands laying lines, and in
most instances the hose was too short to
reach the flames. In very few minutes
the flames had burst through the roof i'll

building was abandoned. The volunteer

minutes. Another train brought No. 2

were put to work. Water pressure was
low, however and the streams barely reached

been raging for four hours. The fire grad
ually worked its way to the ground floor,
making complete loss of the hotel. The
furniture on the ground floor only was
saved. The guests were compelled to inn
provise lodgings on the ground and went to

ance, $3.50, 600, distributed among large

fire is attributed to the wires of the electric
lighting system becoming Overheated and
igniting the woodwork. 1t is believed the
company will rebuild the hotel.
