Short History ofEdle Two Noble. Houses of

The grandson of the Emperor of

the people of the CrescentGity. While
the young min is only g, nnidshipman
in rank, he is,a scion of two of the old
est reigningrhouses in the.world. The
house of Braganza, above.Sour hundred
years old i'm its own name,. is descended
from the cld Portuguese Kings. and
through them from one of the heroic.

A KANS a. LYNCHISG.
Two Brothers Taken from Officers ana
Riddled with Bullets.

ANTHONY, KAN, April l9.-About
two months ago fight occurred in the
village Of Danville, near this place, be-
tween two brothers named Weaver and
q man named Adel. The latter was
fatally wounded, and the Weaver boys
were arrested and hurried away to
avoid mob. Last week they were re-
turned for trial, but the cases were
continued for the term, with bail
fixed at $4,000 each. At l o'clock
this morning a mob of forty armed
men surrounded the residence of the
sheriff, where the prisoners were
under guard, in this city. The guard
hearing them rushed the prisoners out
the back door and into the basement Of
q new school building. The sheriff was
taken prisoner by a mob and guarded.
The deputies, finding it useless to re-
sist, surrendered. The Weaver brothers
defended themselves in their struggle
for life with a revolver which they had
taken from one of the deputies. They
were finally overpowered by the mob
and diSarmed. Ropes were placed
about their necks and preparations
were made to hang them to the raf'ers,
but the trample Of approaching feet
scared the mob; so they fred fifteen or
twenty shots into each man, literally
shooting them to pieces, and mounting
their horses rode rapidly away. The
mother of the boys and the wife Of
one of them witnessed the entire
tragedy.

An Erie, Pa, special says: The Ca
BILE dispatch which announced the des-
perate attempt of Mrs. Jennie Whit
comb to take her life on account OF
heavy losses at the gamiDg-table at
Monte Carlo has been supplemented by
q letter to q relative. Mrs. Whitcomb
was formerly Miss Jennie Smith, and
lived in this vicinity. She was an as
sistant principal in the Conneautville
Academy early in the sixties. She at
terwatls married o. P. Whitcemb, a
millionaire lumberman, in st. Paul,
Mimi, but their union was not happy
one, and Mrs. Whitcomb left her bus
band, who had been kind and indu!-
gent.
Since then she has lived in Europe,
and, as the reports go, was very
prominent figure at the gaming-tables
in Paris leading salons. Five years
ago she was very rich, but luck turned
against her, and her l-gotten gains went
quicker than they were amassed. After
several days and nights at the table she
vas left penniless and distracted. She
first swallowed morphine, and failing to
destroy herself then opened vein in
her arm with a hsi.1pin. Being frus-
trated in both attempts, she then threw
herself in the sea at Cannes, but was
rescued by boatman, and was placed
in the insane asylum at that place,
where she is now being treated. Friends
in this State will endeayor to have her
returned here.
