Singular Phenomenon which Was Seen
Near Mount ida, New York.
HIGHLAND, N. Y, March 1O.-The val.
ley Of Mount Ida, two miles from this yll.
llge, was yesterday the scene Of one Of
the most peculiar manifestations Of the
vagarles Of the wind ever heard Of in this
vicinity at least. It was a little whirlwind,
but q strange one. The day was an excep.
tionally pleasant one, the sun shining
brightly, and with little or no wind appear.

New.Paltz 10 an Ice field OF considerable
extent. Without any warning 8 sharp,

ice field alluded to. In an instant there

Several times this spectacle was repeat.

force to raise into the air q great mass OF
ice and water. Then, whirling ABOUT with

THIsEE oFA KIND
The Archer gang of Outlaws taken from
Jail and Hanged,

Jail and Hanged.
SHOALS, ND, March 10.-Three Of the
famous Archer gangof outlaws, namely,
Thomas and Martin brothers, and John, a
son OF Thomas, suffered the extreme
penalty Of their crimes just after midnight
this morning at the hands OF Judge Lynch.
Precisely Rt 1850 last night q vigilance
committee Of one hundred, composed Of
men from Larkin and Orange counties,
entered the town. The lynChers were
very quiet and orderly, and the Sheriff
was 6nt aroused by the barking OF his
dog, followed by a knock on the door,
He asked who was there, and the answer
was . crashing in OF the front door, fol.
lowed by heavy blows which completely
demolished II. The crowd then went 10
the jail door, knocked of the lock, and
were somewhat dismayed to find another
door which would not yield to blows,
Alter about twenty minutesa man in the
crowd was found who understood the
opening Of the cellar door. Tho lynChers
then rushed in and grabbed all three Of
the prisoners.
When the ArChers saw the lynChera
come In they made no resistance, and
when asked II they had anything to say,
they refused TO speak. Their hands were
tied behind their backs, and they were
taken over to the court house yard and
hanged TO young maple trees. Tom
Archer, the eldest Of the gang, who was
about 10 years old, was hanged first. His
feet were touching the ground when seen
by your correspondent this morning
Martin Archer, brother to Tom, aged Al
years, was hung up high and dry and both
Of his eyes were staring wide open,
making a ghastly sight. John Archer,
son of Tom Archer, who was about thirty
years old, was hanging with bis hands
tied behind him, about thirty feet from
his father.
The crimes for which they were hanged
consist Of almost everything on the crlml-
nal calendar, from murder down to petty
thieving, For twenty-five years they have
been reigning terror, both In Martin and
In Orange counties, and have terrorized
the locality In which they lived. They

WARRINGTON, D. o., March lo.-The
sugar clauses Of the Morrison tariff bill
were discussed before the ways and
Means Committee to-day. Representative
King, Of Louisiana, entered a protest
agalnpt 9 reduction Of the import duty on
sugar. Sugar, he said was O moat i'm.
portant revenue producer, and Ia these
days Of increasing pensions IL behooved
the Committee to act slowly In changing
the duty. II would be better In bic
opinion and from q revenue standpoint to
tem1yn the duties on tho neCesearies Of
life, such as clothing, shoes, nails and
BLANKETS. From a protective point Of
View he also favored the imposition Of
duty on sugar. MI. King insianCed the
course Of coffee before and after the re.
tnoyal Of duty as probably iofeshAdowing
the effect Of similar rCLl6n In the case Of
sugar. Thers was great danger that the
United States by removing the duty on
sugar would foster monopolies abroad.

the President alone. Yet the Senator
from Vermont invoked an order, signed
by Mr.. Thurman as Chairman Of the
Judiciary Committee, addressed to the
Attorney General, which Mr.. Pugh would
read to the Senate.
Mr., Pngh then read the letter which
was read yesterday by Mr., Edmunds,
calling for papers bearing on the removal
Of Judge Shaffsr, OF the Territory OF Utah.
That person, Mr.. Pugh said, had been
Judge OF the Territorial Court, and in the
provision comforting the power Of sus-
pension on the President there was
an express exception Of judges pf
the United States. The question
was whether Territorial Judges We're
embraced in that language. The
Senator from Vermont knew that that
question was now before the Judiciary
Committee. He knew that a Senator and
lawyer from New York, Mr., Evarts, was
q member Of that subcommittee with the
splendid lawyer, Mr.. Jackson, from Ten
nessee, and that after two weeks or more
Of consideration they had made no report
on that question submitted 10 them OF the
power otthe President In vacation to sus-
pend a Judge OF Territorial court.
In conclusion Mr., Pugh said his object
had beertSade the character OF this
conflict Of authority between the President
aud the Senate, and to iortiiy the view
that had always been taken by the Demo-
cratic party, and to iortify it by author
tiles.
Mr.. Cleveland had no fear Of an appeal
TO the people. He was responsible to
them. He supposed the majority in the
Senate had no lear Of appealing TO the
people in favor Of the omnipotencs Of the
Senate. He knew the minority had none
in appealing To tho people upon the
omnipotenCe OF the Constitution and the
integrity Of Mr.. Cleyelaud's administra,
ton.
