has closed its doors. The bank was sus-
pended by action of the directors fastened
by the investigation by the government
which investigation showed that time GER

meeting. The totals givan above to
each markSman are out of Il possible
four hundred, and as may be Inferred,
indicate pretty accurate shooting. Thus
far the twelve who have made the best
scores are fifty two points ahead of those
who shot on the first two days of last
years match
Tomorrow and Friday will be
devoted to skirmshing, which
is an entirely different kind
of shooting it will doubtless cause
change in the leading twelve because
many soldiers who are excellent when
firing at fixed distances, may make very
poor records in skirmish contest.
The twelve who make the best record
in both the shooting at fixed distances
and in the skrmishing, will be declared
the department team. The two next
will be the aIternates. These will accom-
pany the team so the division contest
and, in the event of one of the
team becoming incapactated, will ill
the vacancy. Before going to the division
contest, the team and alternates will go
into practice, and leave here for Leavon-
worth on September 5. The total last
year, of the shooting of sixty men who
then engaged in the contest, was, for the
first two days, 1860, while the total this
year, is 1S,507.

WORK OF A MOB.
Three Prisoners Taken From the Sheriff
and Shot.

AsTHoNY, Kan, April 10.
About two months ago fight occurred IN
the village of Danville, near here, between
three brothers named Weaver and Adel
Sheard, the latter was fatally wounded, and
the Weaver boys arrested and hurried away
to escape the mob. They returned for trial
but their cases were continued for next term,
with bail at $4,000 each. At o'clock this
morning a mob of forty armed men sur
rounded the residence of the sheriff, where
the prisoners were under guard. The guard,
hearing them, rushed the prisoners out the
back door and into the basement of the new
school building. The sheriff was taken
prisoner by the mob and guarded. The dep
uties, finding it useless to resist, surrendered.
The Weavers defended themselves in their
struggle for life with a revolver which they
had taken from one of the deputies. They
were finally overpowered by the mob and dis
armed. Ropes were placed about their necks
and preparations made to hang them to the
rafters, bat the trample of approaching feet
frightened the mob, so they fred fifteen or
twenty shots into each, literally shooting
them to piecess and mounting their horses
rode away. The mother Of the boys and
the wife Of one, witnessed the entire tragedy.

The Fire at Stry Still Raging.

vienna, April 10.
The fire at Stry is still raging. The situa-
ton is appalling. Thousands of the inhabi-
tants are bankrupt. The charred remains of
many of the victims have already been dug
out of the ruins. The mayor of the town has
sent telegram to Temberg asking that
troops be sent to Stry with appliances to ex-
tinguish the fire. The damage is estimated
at several millions florins. Many of the in
jured during the fire have died. The total
number dead is now 40. Most of the victims
were children.
When the fire at Stry had reached its
height the prisons were opened but the
authorities had delayed the release of the
prisoners too long and IA of the unfortunate
inmates were burned to death. In the en-
virous of the town AL is confusion. The
peasants looted the houses and shops after
conflicts with their owners, some of whom in
their despair committed suicide. The gale
was so severe that sparks were carried three
miles and set fire to a number of huts oc-
cupied by the peasantry. The Emperor do
mated s25 for the relief of the sufferers.
