THE EDMUNDS BILL.
Its Consideration by the House
subcommittee.

WAsHrseTcs, April 26.-The string
ems anti Mormon bill passed by the SEN
ate some time ago has been in the hands
of a subcommittee OF the House judi
ciary committee for a long time, and
the eastern people who are clamorous
for the suppression of polygamy are
seeking to probe the subcommittee into
more activity by insinuations. if not
direct charges. that the delay Is due to
the strong lobby influence in favor of
the Mormons. The subcommittee con-
sists of Randolph Tucker, of Virginia,
Mr.. Eden, Of Illinois. and Ex-Governor
Stewart. of Vermont, who cannot be
supposed to be under the influence OF
the lobby. Mr.. Tucker said to-day,
that he had appointed Mr. Stewart a
member Of the subcommittee because
he comes from the same State as Mr.
Edmunds. the author OF the bill. and
appointed Mr.. Eden because he repre-
sents the State where the Mormon
church first took shape, and from which
IL also took fight. he says that ne and
Stewart have been diligently informing
themselves in regard to the laws OF the
United States and the Territory touch
ing Mormonism. and have had frequent
conferences. The questions involved
are very important, ana will be mature
" considered before final action. but no

Three Brothers Lynched In Indiana,

In the latter part Of 1883 John Bunch,
prosperous farmer near Shoals, Indiana,
disappeared mysteriously. On Dec. 9th,
1885, the superintendent Of the Martin
county poorhouse was sent for by one OF
the inmates, a Mrs. Archer, who informed
him that Bunch was murdered by her hus-
band, his brothers, Thomas and Martin and
John Lynch, and George Colt. She said the
Archers were q desperate lot of men who
were engaged in horse stealing and other
lawless acts. They had frequently endeav-
NO avail, and finally determined to get rid
OF him. The sequel is told in the following
dispatch from Shoals, Ind. The notorious
Archers, who have been confined in the
county jail for several weeks, charged with
murder, eXpiated their horrible crime at
the hands OF q mob recently. The
mob marched into town and directly to the
jail, situated in West Shoals. When the jail
was reached the keys were demanded, which
were refused, when the spokesman ordered
them to go in. The door was battered
down. and the iron cell doors treated like
wire. After gaining entrance and spending
a short time with the doomed men, they
were then led out and taken to the court
yard adjoining the jail. But few words
were exchanged. They selected the trees
the moose was placed on their respective
necks, and after changing 81 few parting
words concerning their crimes, as to
which no answer was received, the word
was given to haul up and in a very few
moments the dead bodies OF John Martin
and Thomas Archer could be seen suspend
ed in mid air. The mob then quietly dis
persed, leaving their victims in the position
which they met their doom.

New York was on the brink of a
serious riot a few days ago, on &C.
count of the determination of horse
car owners to run a car during the
strike Of conductors and drivers. No
fewer than 75O policemen escorted the
solitary horse-car, protecting it in
front and sides and rear, while the
mob bombarded the vehicle with
stones and rotten eggs. Occasionally,
also, the triumphal car in it's progress
was halted by g. barricade OF stones,
or load of sand that had been
dumped on the track. But it made
the round trip in salty, though at
times the police had to club their way
through the hostile crowd to open the
track. From the picture Of the scenes
and the accounts Of. reporters one
would suppose that many lives must
have been lost, but the damage was
confined to bloody hands.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has just given decision Of
great Importance as to the ri ght OF ex-
press companies to railroad facilities
The Federal Circuit Courts in different
parts OF the country have held that
the railro ad companies were required
to extend all needful facilities to ex-
press company claiming to do business
over their lines. This construction OF
the law has stood in the way OF rail
road companies doing an express bust.
ness on their own account. The de.
cision Of the Supreme Court at Wash
ington overrules the decisions OF the
lower courts, and leaves the railroads
free to extend express facilities or not
as they deem best. They cannot be
compelled to make such provision.
One result Of this decision will proba-
bly, be to induce most of the railroads
OF the country to take up the express
business as part oftheir regular traffic,
just as the Baltimore and Ohio and
other railroads now have an express
service managed in the interest of the
company.

Frightful Butchery In Kansa as.

A telegram OF the 9th from Osage Mission,
Kansas, says: Mr.. Mendel living thirteen
miles northwest of town, was awakened
about O'Clock this morning by a scream.
He went to the dooran was met by Willie
Sells, the son Of a neighbor, j. W. Sells.
The boy cried out "Mr. Mendel a man is
at our house and has hurt father and
mother, I don't know how badly" Mr..
Mendel went with the boy, arousing J
J. Rice, another neighbor, on the way.
In the bed in the north room OF
Sells house lay Walter, Willie's eldest
brother and bedfellow, aged nineteen, his
throat cut and the entire top OF his head
chopped of, exposing the brain, and his
lett eye hanging upon his cheek. Passing
into the south and main room, where
light was burning, they stumbled over the
most severed from his body Near by lay
Mrs: Sells. a lady of forty three years, her
head mashed and 70 fearful cash in
her throat. On the bed in the east
corner OF the room lay Ida, Willie's
sister, aged fourteen, killed in the
Same manner as the other three.
Lying near Mrs. Sells head was
bloody butcher knife, and On a chair was a
hatchet matted with hair and blood. The
boy said that he had been awakened by
something and looking up saw low, heavy
set man with dark hair, cut close, stand
ing in the door. This man stepped in and
reached over Willie, struck Watty, who lay
on the back Of the bed. Willie jumped out
and dressed while the man was still in the
room. The man rushed out OF one room,
while Willie went out OF the
other, and started up the road
on a run, Willie after him. After care
full investig a ton there is hardly a doubt
that the boy committed the DIRE adIul crime
fNOn
rested on him, and he was put on the stand.
He swore that he had not washed his hands
since the murder, but inspection showed
that While his hands and wrists were clean,
there WAS q water mark above which his
forearms were deeply encrusted with blood,
which appeared to have spurted up his
sleeves. Around his finger nails, too, WAS
blood. Upon removing his pants his drawers
were seen to be at urated with spattered
blood and his bare feet were covered with the
same sanguine fluid. His feet fitted all the
bloody foot marks to be found. The boy
stoutly denied being the mu rdercr, and
