spout burst over Marshall day before yes,
terday afternoon, and the most terrific
rain fell upon the surrounding country
that has been witnessed within the memory
Of the Oldest inhabitant. Houses fell be-
fore the advancing aocd, cattle were swept
away and drowned, and the country
throughout the region round about were
destroyed. A puny stream, known
as Rigby run, ordinarily three or four feet
wide, became q raging river, Overlooking
its banks and sweeping away everything
movable that came within its reach. For
tunstely, no loss CT lie is reported. One
of the most exciting incidents Of the storm
was the narrow escape OF q train filled
with passengers Two or three small breaks
in the track had occurred before the
train reached Asheville, but by proceeding
cautiously they had been passed in safety

Upon = Promise Of Partial Immunity ffom
Punishmsnt-Jin Cummings' Identity.

CHfcAeo, IT,, Dec. 29.-It is now stated
that Fotheringham, the express messenger,
who 10 In Jail at 1t. Louis on suspicion Of
being implicated in the Adams Express
robbery on the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad October last, disclosed tho whole
story upon promise of partial immunity
from punishment made to him by the
officials. His story was to the effect that
he did not know the actual robbers, or
their whereabouts, but that o certain man,
whose name is carefully concealed, me-
gotiated with him plans for the robbery,
which were afterward carried out. The
name Of this man and q description by
which the detectives were able to identify
him were given by Fotheringham, and
from this the case was worked up and the
man tracked to this city, where he was
arrested Friday night with two others,
who are suspected Of being members Of
the gang. Tho detectives have recovered
but 1900 Of the s55, 900 stolen. tits likely
the three prisoners will be taken to st.
Louis tomorrow. The protentious air Of
mystery around the Pinkerton head
quarters in Fifth avenue was not lessened
to-day. and the mon under arrest for COM
plicity N the Adams Express robbery are
still unknown. That one Of them is the
facetious Jim Cummings is pretty evident.
That Jim Cummings is not the name of the
man in question Is reasonably certain.
There Ii q strong suspicion that Jim Cum
mings' baptismal name was Fred Wit
rosch and his family is an excellent one,
living in Leavenworth, Kan.

MINNEAPOLIS, MISN., Dec. 22.-About .
o'clock this evening three men drove up in
front of the large jewelry store Of ]. r.
Elliott, corner Of Nicollet avenue and Third
street. Two of the men jumped from the
sleigh, while the third held the horses.
One Of the men carried heavy stick Of
wood, with which he smashed the large
plate glass show-window, In which
were trays Of diamonds, watches, ETC.,
and hurriedly seized all the available
jewelry and threw 1t into the sleigh, while
his accomplices kept the crowd Of people
that swarmed the street at bay with cooked
revolvers. Before any thing could be done
to apprehend them both men had jumped
into the sleigh and driven rapidly up street,
the driver wildly lashing the horses, and
the robbers standing with revolvers point
ed at tho crowd. They secured between
5000 and $1,000 worth Of diamonds
and watches. For boldness and
daring this excels the James
brothers. exploits. The streets were un-
usually crowded, and scores Of people were
looking at the display in Elliott's window
at the time of the robbery. Several police
men were within half block Of the scene,
but could not get there in time to appre-
hend the bold thieves. A posse of men have
started after them with fast horses, and
the telephone and telegraph have been
utilized to notify all outlets Of the city to
be on the lookout for them.

from the Secretary of the Treasury was to-
day laid before the House, in which he

Treasury building. For double steel.

NJ Well Orxunsxsa Committee Of the
Beat Citizens Of Eaton, O...The Horrible
Murder Of Farmer Christmsn Avcngsas
EATON, o., Do. 2l.-wm. Musscl, who,
two weeks ago, brutally murdered Daniel
Christman, wealthy old farmer living
near here, and nearly killed his wife, was
tonight lynched in this town by mob, IN
the presence Of almost the entire popula-
ton of the town and hundreds from neigh
boring country, who came in expecting the
affair to come of just rs it did. Mussel
was captured at Greencastle yesterday
and brought here this forenoon.
He was received by mob OF
600 men, who chased the. carriage
conveying him to jail until the officers in
charge drew their revolvers and by hard
work landed him in Jail intact. Even then
Q dash was made for him, but the mob was
q second time driven Off. Mussel was
smoking cigar when he got off the train,
but was perfectly paralySed with fear
when he saw his pursuers and heard their
cries of 'Lynch him mi""Shoot him." etc.,
howled into his ears, and shook like an asp-
en- leaf as he looked into their angry faces.
Tonight regularly organized meeting
was held in the town hall, attended by
leading citizens, and the affair was fully
discussed, with the result that his lynch.
ing was deciped upon, and the mon selected
to carry out that determination. The meet
ing was not long in session, for its result
was quickly arrived at, and q few minutes
before o'clock o rush was made for the
Jail. The sheriff protested, but it was
only formal protest, and the mob carried
the outer doors with wild hurrah. The
keys were not to be had, but sledges and
cold chisels were speedily put to work on
Mussel's cell door, and he was soon
dragged out. A glance suf1iced to iden-
tify him, for score Of men in the crowd
knew him we'll. A ready rope was quickly
put about his neck, and scores helped him,
none too gently, out of the Jail and into the
courthouse yard, and across it to the cor.
ner, where stands an electric light tower.
Into the glare Of that light Mussel was
dragged. Mussel glanced around, and his
face, which had worn defiant look fell.
The leader appointed ut the meeting halted
at the light tower. The rope was swung
over convenient beam, and then Mussel
was asked II he had any thing to
say. In frmer voice than could have
been expected he declared he was innocent
Of the crime charged against him. He
was not given q chance to say much more,
for, exas persted by the self-apparcnt lie
Of man on the verge Of eternity, the sig
nal wa given, and William Mussel was
swung up between heaven and earth. 1t
was just ten minutes after eight o'clock.
After hanging twenty minutes tho body
was cut down and handed over to an un-
dertaker. The lynching Is generally COM
mended by our best citizens.
