MOB LAW.
Outlaws Hanged to Three Maple
 

SHOALS, Ind, March 1O-Three of the famous outlaw gang of Archers-namely, Thomas and Martin (brothers) and John, son of Thomas-suffered the extreme penalty of their crimes, early this morning, at the hands of Judge Lynch. They died game. They were taken from jail by 100 men and hanged to maple trees in the Court yard.
 The crimes for which the two suffered consists of almost everything on the crin- inal calendar, from murder to pretty thieving. For twenty-five years they have been reiguing terror, both in Mar tin and Orange counties and have terro- rlzed the community in which they lived. They never failed to visit vengeance for fancied slight. and many a farmer in Orange and Martin counties has lost con- siderable sums of money by being robbed, cattle stolen, or barns or houses burned down. Martin Archer has family living in Southwest township, Orange county, and they are respected. Two of his chill dren are young ladies teaching school In that section of the country. Old Tom Archer lived in Martin county, in Colum- bia township, and had @ lar; c family, every one of whom are under indict- ments for larceny, arson and murder, and bear bad name generally, John Archer formally lived in Columbia township.

A Colored Mans Sensations While Serving
as Alligator Bait.

as Alligator Bait.
We went out to a Mississippi swamp
accompanied by several negroes, and
as the Colonel had promised two bits
to the first black man who should sight
an alligator there was a feeling of rival
ry among them. The day was awful
hot, and though alligators were as
plenty as frogs, we beat around for an
hour without getting sight of one. It
was their hour for sleep. AS we finally
gathered on long spit of sand which
projected out into the bayou for two
hundred feet, the Colonel called up one
of the blacks and said:
"Come, Moses, If you'll swim for it
I'll make the prize half dollar.''
"Sure won't be cotched, NASSAU"
+. "Oh, there's no danger. Here arc five
rifles to protect you. !"
The negro went half way down the
spit, and then had deep, dark water on
each side of him. He closely scanned
the surface in all directions, and then
speedily disrobed and plunged in with
a great splash.
.'He's batting emf whispered the
Colonel
seizes himpn
.eThen Ill give the money to his
widow'
The black swan out about thirty
feet, kicking and splashing, and we
walked slowly down the spit. All of q
sudden he screamed out and turned for
the shore, and as we looked we saw
from ten to fifteen great saur;ans MAX
ing bee line for him from as many
different directions Everybody opened
fre,yand the reports Of rifles, the yells
Of the Swimmer and the shouts of tho
other blacks made an exciting scene.
Two of us took a big alligator which
was directly IN the mans wake, and,
though we fired ten or twelve shots at
his snout at close range, he was within
three feet of the negro when the SWIM
mer was pulled OUT. He ran his fore
feet in the bank, opened his mouth like
o barn door,, and, as he snapped his
jaws together, piece of stick or tooth
flew clear over our heads. The five of
us kept firing away, but he turned and
sailed off as if the bullets were so many
peas. When the battle ended two Of
the reptiles were floating belly up, and
they were hauled ashore and left to be-
skinned. H..

Z The System Adopted at Brooklyn to Pre-.
vent the Introduction of Cholera Germs.
The process Of disinfection by super
heated steam as now practiced at the
Baltic Stores, in Brooklyn, is believed
to be the complete solution of problem
which has occasioned SO much worri-
ment. It is the practical application Of
steam OF any desired temperature and
time to bale goods. The apparatus con
sists of an ordinary engine of sufficient
power and boiler strength with an at
tached superheater. To this is append.
ed series of iron boxes about the
shape Of and large enough to admit
bale OF rags pushed in endwise. Each
one OF several boxes has penetrating
through, from the rear end, FIVE gim!et.
bit screws nearly as long as bnle of
rags, enlarged from a point to about
two inches in diameter, and at such
distance apart as to about equally divide
the end Of bale. These screws are
hollow and perforated in their whole
circumference and length and, more
over, each one is the terminus of q
steam escape cock. The screws ara
rapidly revolved by the machinery. On:
pushing in a bale Of rags it no sooner
comes in contact with the points of the
screws than it is drawn with the great
est rapidity. The box is then closed by
q flap-door, hinged at the top, and the
steam turned on-in through the screws.
and around the bale. In two OF thras
minutes the temperature Of the bale
throughout as thus exposed can be-
raised to three hundred and thirty de-
grees =. Tor more if required), and sus.
tanned Tor any desired length Of time. Z
As practiced at the Baltic Stores the
I Sbaies are kept in the boxes about ten
Z minutes. But they become so thorough.

Default of $4,000 Hall.

Yesterday shortly after noon the family
OF Frank WIlkle, who lives at l40
Eighteenth street, were at dinner when
the old man roproaChsd bis stepsou,
Heinrich Froebsl, for his worthless, dolets
manner Of life. Some time before Wilkie
told the young man that he could remain
at home without paying any board II he
would do the household chores for his
mother, who is quite old and an invalid,
Yesterday Mrs, Wilkie complained that
her sou was not fulfilling his part OF. the
contIsCt. Wilkie told the young man
that he would either have to make him
ssll useful about home or find his own
living elsewhere,
Froebel maintained o sullen silence
Throughout the meal. A lew momentA
after lis atep.iather rose to leave the
room and had turned his back to the
table and started fol the door, when the
son drew q revolver, and taking deliberate
aim, fred, The ball struck the old man
In the right shoulder, aud ranging upward
lodged Just beneath the skin.
The affair was soon reported abroad as
an attempted suicide, Squire Davis
heard OF " and started TO investigate. In
he meantime the right version had
reached the police, and Lieut.. Junkins
also went out. He met young Froebel on
the street and arrested him,
SQUIRE Davis summoned the wounded
man to bis office, where the prisoner was
al once arIaiRped- and committed to JUL
in default OF $4,000 bail. He aCknowl'
edged that he had shot his step-tather,
and said he intended to kill him, and was
only sorry he did not accomplish his pur'
pose. He also threatened to make more
successful effort II he got out this tins.
The Justice sent for DR., j. D, Wilson,
the County Phyacian, who cut the ball
out Of Mr., WILKES shoulder and dressed
hiS wound. The wound is very painful
one, but not dangerous, unlees The wound
cd man catches cold 1t,
Froebel has a bad name, lie has been
committed to the workhouss several times,
and on one occasion tried to shoot Officer
Carney, Of the city police force,
The pistol he used yesterday was a new
one Of thirty-two caIibre, American bull,
dog pattern. The small size OF the ball
and the bad aim was doubtless all that
saved the old mans life,
