The caucus resolutions of the

by authority, in the Associated

calls the President a reprehensible

refuse confirmation of even good

the President of disregarding law,

From q gentleman just arrived
from Central Mississippi, it is
learned that some days ago an at.
tempt was made at Carrollton,
Miss, to assassinate a gentleman
named VIM. Liddell by shooting
at him. Mr.. Lidde.l was danger
ously wounded, aud subsequently
q negro was arrested charged with
the crime. The indignation of the
citizens was very great, and last
Thursday night a lynching party
was organized to proceed to the
Jail and mete out summary punish
ment to the assassin.
The Sheriff Of the county il
which Carrollton is located receiv
cd information of what was goin,
on, and secretly removed the pris
oner to a place of safety. TIL,
party arrived at the Jail, and whel
they found that the object of thei
vengeance had escaped they seiz
cd o negro boy who had bee,
committed to Jail for having kille,
white boy, but who had mad
out good case of self.defense
aud took him out of prison. The,
placed the rope intended for tn,
negro man around the boys neck
and without further ado hung hln
to the limb of u tree.
The greatest indignation pre-
vailed among the law.abiding citi
zens of Carrollton at the outrage
as the boy was not considered t,
have deserved such punishment.
1t is said that Judge Campbell
who sentenced the negro DO,
to twelve months Imprisonment
remarked that the prisoner ha,
made out a good case of selfde
fense, and had the victim been
negro and the accused q whit
boy, he would have been Instant,
acquitted by a jury without leav

Pronounced a Canard,

CHICAGO, ILL, January 15.-George Nc
Cabe, who was reported as poisoning four
wives and had married the fifth and made
an attempt to poison her, but drank the
draught himself, by his wife exchanging
cups Of coffee, visited the office of the As
sociated Press to-day denying the story.
He said he had not been in Dakot:. for
three years, but had three sons living there,
one of whom was named George, but was
not married, and could not be the person
described as dying, as he had recent letters
from there. His three sons we're living
near Baltimore, Dakota, where they had a
large farm. AS for himself, he had not
married again, as stated. He acknowledged
having been on trial for the supposed pois.
oning of his two wives, one of whom had
died in delerium tremens and one from
heart disease. He had been honorably ac-
quilted in both instances, and asserts that
the prosecution in both cases attempted to
extort money. He says he will prosecute
for libel in this instance.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Freight Trains Collide With
Disastrous Results.
Three Men Terribly Mangled and Roasted
Beyond Recognition.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, January ia ter.
rible collision occurred on the Baltimore Il
Ohio Railroad, near Coburn, a small station
two and a half miles west of Aida, yester-
day, whereby one engineer and three fire
men were killed outright The trains col
liding were both heavily loaded freights,
the east-bound one being "a double e-header,
while the west was in tow of a monster
locomotive known as "camel el-back."
The train in charge of this engine should
have stopped at Aida for orders, but the
engineer and fireman, it is alleged, were
both asleep, and they ran to the crossing at
high rate, and continued on down grade
to the dreadful calamity which awaited
them. Both trains were ON down grade,
and rounded the curve at the same time,
going twenty-five miles an hour. The re.
suit was that the three engines and twenty
cars of merchandise and live stock were
heaped into one unrecognizable mass. This
caught fire and burned fiercely for some
time. The engineer of the west-bound
train was found with his head split open
from the crown to the neck, AID the face
fell forward upon his breast, while his brains
were scattered about. One fireman be.
came pinned in between pieces of the wreck,
and was suspended by his head until he
was literally roasted to death. second
fireman was cut completely in two, and the
dismembered parts OF his body were found
some distance apart. The third was badly
injured, and died after few hours suffer-
ing. The other two engineers escaped by
jumping. 1t is said that the crew of the
"camel-back" train were exhausted from
overwork, having been on the road for for
ty-eight hours. The extreme reicence OF
the Baltimore and Ohio management pre-
vented the obtaining of the names of the
killed or injured men.

Frightful Cave In of a Mine, Causing ths
Suffocation Of Dozen Men.

NEW YORK, January 14,-An Alburtus
(Pa,) special to the Herald gives an account
of terrible cave-in which occurred yester-
day afternoon about 4 80 o'clock at Ritten-
house Gap, small village near Red Lion,
station on the Catasqua Il Fogelsville
Road. 1t happened in the ore mine owned
and operated by H. K. Hartzell, of this
place, and buried quite number of men.
1t is difficult at this writing to get cor
rect list of the men killed on account of the
intense excitement which prevails, but it is
thought that perhaps q dozen were en-
tombed. At 7o'clock last night the follow
ing bodies had been dug out at one of the
slopes: James Shiffert, aged twenty-eight
years; he leaves wife and three children;
Frank Eek, aged thirty-six; he leaves a
wife and one child; George l., Miller, aged
twenty-one years, single, The appearance
of the dead bodies showed that the men
had been sutfocated. When found they
were in an upright position, with tools in
their hands. Large gangs Of men have
been put to work to rescue the others who
are entombed in the slope, which is nearly
800 feet deep The cause Of the cavern at
this mine can not be accounted for, a. ID
was one of the best in this ore region The
mine gave employment to large number
of men, but fortunately most of them left
work at noon Yesterday.

been received from Dakota describing the
recent death there of Geogre McCabe, who

Watching her opportunity she exchanged
