An Explanation Needed.

President Cleveland should explain
now our "sysem Of taxation builds up
enormous private fortunes without COR
responding benefits to the masses" be.
fore he aeks "the manufacturers to
recognize the existing exigeucy and
surrender part Of their profits in order
TO relieve the masses from the burden
OF taxation"
The President should have been more
specific, IS the greater nun Der Of manu-.
facturers have been losing instead OF
making money, and it has been = seri.
GUS question with many whether they
should not CLOSE up and wait for an In
creased demand for their products. The
great fortunes which have been made
have been the result OF speculation, and
not Of legitimate business, and the
taxes have no influence whatever IN
the matter. The remarks Of the Pres,-
dent may deceive few persons, bu,
the great mass cannot DO misled by
them.

Police Interrnpt a Prize Fight.

PHILADELPHIA. March 16.-A hard glove fight
took place this afternoon in the rear OF saloon
kept by Thomas Clark, No. 2046 North Front
street, between James Brannan and John Co
burn, two local light weights. The fight was for
a purse of $l50 and the gate money, and forty
eight admission tickets at So each were sold.
Six desperate rounds were fought both men
lighting furiously and great excitement prevail
ing among the spectators When called for
the seventh round, both men were very
weak, and Brannan's second, Jack McCann, had
to assist him forward seizing him from behind
and pushing him against Coburn. This aroused
the ire of "Niony" Golden, Coburn's second, and
he struck McCann with his bare fist, and the two
rolled together to the floor. While they were
settling their differences. and just as the referee
had decided the fight draw, a squad of twenty
policemen, in citizens clothes, entered and placed
all in the room under arrest. Forty-six mens
including the principals and the proprietor of the
establishment were marched to the police sta
ton, where fine of 81. so each was imposed. In
addition to the fne Brannan and Coburn, and
Clark, the saloon proprietor, were placed under
$500 bail to answer at court, and the others
under $400 bail TO keep the peace.

The Demand of the East St Louis Switch
men for Increased Wages.
ST., LOUIS, March 16.-A meeting OF general
managers and superintendents, freight agents
and other officials of all the railroads centering
in East st. Louis was held here this afternoon
to consider and act upon the demand Of the
switchmen Of these roads, made yesterday
through an executive committee of the Knights
of Labor, for an increase of wages. Vice-presi-
dent Hoxie, of the Missouri Pacific. was also
present The general situation was freely
discussed, and the position of the Missouri
Pacific was indorsed as the most correct
one that could be taken. The roads interested
in the wage question tacitly agreed to work in
concert, but no action was taken to day. and the
meeting adjourned until tomorrow when a re-
ply will be prepared to the demand made by the
Knights of Labor committee There was an
preston of feeling unfavorable to treating with
the Knights of Labor, but no opposition what
ever to conferring directly with their employees,
and it ia possible that the action of the meeting
may be in this direction.

A MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
Medical College Faculty Agitated Over the
Results Of Illustrating Yenesection.

DKTno1T, Mich, March 16-The faculty OF
the Michigan College OF Medicine has been much
agitated Of late over a recent occurrence which
threatened serious consequences. G. W. Wes-
selius has been one of the most promising mem
bers of the junior class. On the Wednesday
afternoon before the examinations were to COM
mence one of the professors of clinical medicine
gave his final lecture of the semester. It was
on the subject Of venesection. When the doctor
had closed the lecture he suggested that a prac-
tical illustration Of the treatment could be made
If any student would volunteer his services
There was lull for a moment, and then young
Wesselus stepped forward The doctor had IL
tended merely to demonstrate how the venesec-
tion was accomplished, but Wesselius volun-
teered TO 60 through the entire operation.
The red fluid spurted out about tablespoon
full escsI;ng. The doctor was surprised to
hnd that this was dark and almost
tsrry. The puncture was closed up by the doc
tor, and 10 further attention was paid to the
matter Within few days Wesselus began to
grow seriously ILL His arm became highly in
famed, and was double its ordinary size. He
pitched about his bed ia a delirium. The doctor
soon traced the ailment to the disfgured arm.
Gradually an abscess formed along the inside of
the arm. Yesterday it was considered advisable

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
SHOALS, Ind, March l6-Mob violence seems
TO have spread to adjoining counties. report
was current here to-day, for the first time, that
bold attempt at lynchine was made on Friday
night last, nea. French Lick, Orange county
This was known only to the perpetrators until
to-day, when 1t was made known. as the mob had
accomplished their object in view Their victim
was Kinder Smith, nephew of the late Thomas
ami Mart Archer, who expatiated their crimes
more fully. Smith was OF desperate character,
and was supposed to be implicated in the horrible
crimes perpetrated by them in this county.
The mob captured their victim at the house of
Bennett Grigsbey. The lynchers, about thirty
Ave in number, surrounded the house and de-
manded the surrender Of Smith. who was soon
In their possession. They then marched him in
their midst TO dark woods near by, where
rope was in readiness. A moose was hastily made
and placed over his neck. The spokesman then
ordered the lynchers to make ready. He placed
one end of the rope over limb, and the mob
pulled up Smiths body, leaving him dangling in
.ths air for few moments, when,
fearing death would free their victim
he was lowered to the ground.
After recovering consciousness he was again
swung in mid-air until he began to turn black,
when he was again lowered and asked to'tell
what he knew Of the Archer gang and their
crimes. He replying that he knew nothing he
was thrice raised by the rope and lowered again.
This time he was almost past saving, but after
short time revived sufficiently to speak, when he
was again asked what he knew of the Archer
gang. and IL he was a member. Receiving no
answer, they decided to try the whipping post A
large bunch of hickory switches was obtained, and
he was given forty lashes When he was
again asked for the desired information, he said
he was innocent, and begged for mercy, when
they agreed to free him on condition that he
would leave that section of the State and never
again return. He accepted the proposition.
They told him that If he was seen there again
the same punishment would be inflicted.
The people in that section of the country are
determined to protect themselves and property
at oil hazards. Mob law is the last resort, and
they claim IL rs iustifable in this case believing
that there are some persons yet at large who are
as deeply implicated as those already dealt with.
