LYNCHINGS.

Judge Lynch did thriving business in com
parison with Jack Ketch. He strung up 1876
victims, as against 1O7 in 1888 LII in 1882 and so
in 1881. The number was largely increased on
account of the summary Justice which has
been dealt out to horse and cattle thieves in
Montana, no less that 40 having been disposed
of by Vigiantes The lynchings in the yarl-
Gus States were as follows: Alabama, 4; Ar
Kansas 10; California, 2; Colorado, p; Florida,
z; Georgia, 8; Indiana, 8; Kansas, 5;
Kentucky, Z; Louisiana, Q; Maryland,
2; Mississippi Is; Missouri, 5; Nebraska,
Oregon, Z; PENNSYLVANIA, i; South Carolina,
l: Texas, II; Virginia, 4; West Virginia, 8;
Wisconsin, /; Arizona, l.; Dakota, Z; Idaho,
l; Montana, 40; New Mexico, S; Utah, 4;
Washington, 2; Wyoming 2. OF this number
123 were white and 50 colored, and there were
also Japanese, 6 Mexican, Hungarian, In
dian and Portuguese. One hundred and sew
enteen were lynched in the North and SO in
the South, the excess in the North being due
to the work of vigilantes in Montana and Co
orado. A novel feature of the years work
was the lynching of three women, it being the
first time in our criminal records that justice
has been dealt out by the mob to the female
sex.

CoNFLAGRATIONs.

The losses by fire in the United States during
1884 are larger than they have been in any
year for the last quarter of a century, except
the years of the Chicago and Boston fires 1871
and 1872. August and October We're specially
disastrous, the losses in the former month
reaching about $10,500,00O and in October
nearly S12,000,000. In August there were
eighteen fires which aggregated a loss of
81, 10000, and there were twenty-five in Oc-
tober aggregating 81. 034 zoo. May was the
most fatal month, owing to the destruction of
Brisbin, Ashland, Thompson, Emporium and
in New Jersey. The total loss that month in
sixteen fires was sS.2l5.09a The summary by
months is as follows;

In the ranks of the suicides all ages may be
found, ranging from boy of three to wom-
