JUDGE LYNCH.
An Ohio Man Hanged to an Electric Pole

At Eaton, Ohio, William Mussel was
jailed on the 2lst. His crime was the
killing OF Daniel Christman, an aged an re-
spected farmer living near Eaton. and the
ATTEMPTED killing of Mrs. Christnan, on the

and beating her to insensibility, robbed
the house OF II few dollars, set the bed

citizens gathered in a body in the court
house, and assau!tirg the jail broke in and
took out Musscl, and ut SIS had his dead
body dangling from an electric light pole
in front OF the court house. There was an
uncomfortable spirit in the crowd that
overwhelmed entirely the efforts of the Off.
GERS to protect the prisoner. 4 plan had
been made to remove Mussel to some 9th.
er Jail, but the mob gathered and acted be.
fore it could be carried out.
The jail doors were broken and the leaders
were quickly in Mussers cell. He answered
to his name, but when asked if lie had
killed Christn,an denied it. He refused to
say anything further, but said, If YOU are
going to hang me lie quick about it," The
men sent for some one to identity him. and
this being done, rope was put on his
neck, and he was led to the electric light
tower in the principal part OF the town,
where he was given IN opportunity to con.
Tess. He declared his innocence and asked
that his body he buried and that his coat
and letters he given to his wife. The lead

bearer is entitled to receive seventy Spanish
milled dollars, or an equal sum in gold or sill

A WASHINGTON physician is quoted as say
ing that it would pay the country well to fit
up gymnasium in the White House, and to
employ a professional gymnast to 60 there
and spend two hours every day in exercising
the President. This exercise would, the
physician claims, clear the Presidents brain
and make a new man of him. To this it is
enough to say that when the people Of the
United States elect chief magistrate, they
do so on the supposition that he is supplied
not only with intelligence enough to take
care of them, but Of himself also. The pub
lie enters into no contract to furnish the
occupant Of the White House with common
sense and judgment concerning the simplest
rules Of living when it turns out that he is
lacking in those particulars.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

The situation in the Southwestern strike is
serious. and ill feeling is rapidly developing
that may lead to trouble. When the execu-
tive board of the knights Of Labor reach st.
Louis this morning they will find enough to
engage their most careful attention and call
for their most conservative and disinterested
thought and action. Martin Irons grand
master of District No. 101, talks like bullet
headed fool, man lacking only the cour-
age and the circumstances to make him
leader In such scenes as have lately disgraced
Belgium. His talk about an army, and about
danger and about secret plans and movements,
is the talk of wrong headed, bad hearted fell
low, who knows that his i'll temper and worse
Judgment have led himself and associates into
untenable positions, which he has not the grace
to abandon. This has been his demeanor all
through the trouble, and the sooner he is de-
posed the better it will be for all concerned.
1t should not be forgotten that the strike
on the Missouri Pacific railroad, with its
tremendous loss and damage to business of
all kinds, was utterly causeless, and in viola
ton Of solemn agreement entered into be-
tween the workmen and the company in
March Of last year. The Governors Of Mis-
souri, and Kansas, after a careful in
vestigation Of all the facts, and
listening to the statement of Mr..
Irons and his colleagues, decided
that the railway company had kept faith with
their employees to the letter, and that the
