In the Commit.ec.Rooms

Charles Francis Adams, president OF
the Union Pacific Railway Company,
and Elk Senator Mcdonald, attorney
for the Central Pacific Railway Com.
pany, %Iappeared before the House
Committee on Pacific Railways to day
and expressed their views at length
upon the general subject OF the in-
debtedness Of the Pacific railways.
Mr.. Adams declared that the present
management OF the Union Pacific
Company was endeavoring to fulfill
the compauy's obligations II the gov.
eminent in good faith, and that the
road was not manipulated Tor specu-
lative purposes. A large proportion
OF the stock, he ta,d, was held by
trust companies, estates and widows.
The unaided brauch lines constituted
the main source Of revenue, and with
out them the road could not be oper-
sted at a profit.
The House Committee on Rules TO-
day agreed TO report back Mr.. Han.
backs resolution providipg for an in
vestigation Of the PAN Electric Tele.
phone matter. The committee have
not ct framed the resolution, but are
agreed that the investigating commit
tee should consist Of nine members.
The general subject Of the issue Of
Treasury notes silver certificates
Of small denominations was discussed
at to'day's meeting Of the House Com
mittee on Banking aud Currency.
There are now forty-eight bills before
the committee touching the subject
under discussion. 1t was the sense oil
the committee that a general bill, or
perhaps two, covering the matter
should be formulated aud reported in
lieu OF those bills, and with that view
the bills will be divided among three

A RAPE FIEND HANGED.
SWUNG UP TO A CROSs.IIE ON
THE
Railroad Bridge Near Leland, Miss.
"A D~astardly Crime and Its
Swift Punishment.

LELAND, Miss, February 23.-On
Saturday last a burly negro man COM
mitted a rape on a little white girl
about eight years old. lie was arrested
and carried before a magistrate and
bound over without bail TO await the
action Of the Circuit Court of Wash
ington county. The officer in charge,
Mr.. Gilmore, had the prisoner at this
place awaiting the next train 10 Green
vile. Monday night about IL o'clock
he noticed that there was considerable
commotiOn in town, and upon the adj
vice OF others slipped his maj out and
conveyed him about two miles from
town, thinking that probably the mob
would fail 10 find him and he would
be enabled to take him safely to Jail
next day, ii not that night,
by IA different route than the usual
way. But unfortunately the mob
ferreted him out, and about ! o'clock
they camc in upon him, numbering
some eighteen or twenty masked men,
armed TO the teeth. Presenting their
pistols, they demanded and by force
took the negro and carried him to the
lItbllt hDOhc inc uIdM DIlugc near llllS
place, on the Louisville, New Orleans
and Texas railroad, and hanged him
TO the cross-tie on the bridge.
The deed was a dastardly one, but
it is to be deplored that the law could
not have been permitted TO take its
course But, unfortunately for this
county, justice is very tardy here,
having been only one court for nearly
two years past on account of the
invalid condition of the Judge, and
under the laws of the State there is
no provision for "A substitute. There
fore, it is not surprising that the peo-
pie, with a jail full OF prisoners,
among whom are fourteen
murderers, should take the
law into their own hands and
mete out justice to deserving scoun-
drels. Nor can they in a measure be
blamed for, now and then when the
proof is positive, adm the law by
executing it without the necessity of
waiting for all the forms made incum-
bent upon them. Our little town has
just been incorporated, and we hope
to be in a position and situation TO
prevent occurrences of this sort in the

Sensational shooting ARRAY.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, February 24.-At
noon to-day Abbott Lawrence, assist
ant cashier of the National Exchange
Bank, was shot and dangerously
wounded on Wisconsin street, near
the Milwaukee Clubhouse, by Geo.
A. Wardner, formerly book-keeper of
the same bank. The ball entered the
small OF the back and is supposed to
have glanced off into the chest. After
the shooting Wardner walked to the
police station, followed by a large
crowd of people, and gave himself up.
Mr.. Lawrence isthe son of j. II. Law
renee, an old and wealthy resident of
this city, and Wardner's parents, who
are still living, are among the early
settlers of Milwaukee. 1t is believed
that Wardner's mind was affected, and
that he was influenced TO commit the
deed by some fancied wrong. The
shooting created the greatest excite
ment in the city, owing to the promi-
nence of the two men. Both are
thirty-eight years of age and un-
married.
Officials of the bank, as well as init
mate associates of Wardnertsay that
his mental and nervous system has
been failing for several years back, in
consequence OF hard work, and are
positive of his insanity. He had be-
come possessed with the idea that
Lawrence and other attaches of the
bank We're %harassing him at every
opportunity and endeavoring to drive
him from his position, which, how
ever, was purely imaginary, as these
gentlemen were his friends. He read
lily talked Of his act, when see by the
Associated Press correspondent, and
said: 81 had made up my mind that
the only way to right the wrongs
done me was to kill the tor
mentors, and l only regret
that Lawrence was not killed
on the spot. Ii / ever get out, and he
is still living, ! will shoot him again.
Two others, meaning President Nash
and Cashier Fitch, both OF the bank,
will be served in the same way also"
His talk clearly indicates his mind TO
be deranged, as he never had better
friends than Messrs. Nash and Fitch,
who but yesterday arranged to have
him take q two months recreation on
full pay, and an assurance of his posi-
ton being retained for him. Tonight
Mr.. Lawrence is resting comfortably,
and although no attempt has been
made to probe for the ball, his physi-
clans have strong hopes of his recovery.

WASHINGTON, February 24.-House
Mr.. Payson ILL.,, from the Commit

alta bill to quiet titles OF settlers on the
Des Moines river lands in Iowa. He
gave a history Of the case from the
time the giant of land was made to the
State OF Iowa and stated that $4,000
acres were involved in the bill. BY a
misconstruction OF the granting act,
the State of Iowa had sold certain
lands 10 which II was not entitled and
had granted certain other lands TO the
Des Moines Railroad aud Navigation
Company. This state OF affairs had
given Use TO much litigation, and the
purpose Of the bill wa simply to allow
parties who had made presumption
and HOMESTEAD filings on these lands
10 have q standing in the courts and
have the question judicially deter
mintp as 10 whether the land was

Some rather odd stories could be
told by the man who ties the knot, did
he choose to give his thoughts tongue.
Il the fee is $50 or more, the groom
takes great pleasure in personally
transacting the business, but is equally
anxious in securing substitute when
a smaller price is to be paid for the
union. In case he has no brother of
his own, the brides relative is pressed
into service, in which instance that
lady is more or less officious. At a
rather stylish party which occurred
on Monroe Street, about two months
ago, the groom put $40 gold piece in
the kidded hands of his small brother
in-law, with directions for its transfer
to the parson, and hurriedIy left the
room. The bride, hearing the CONVEX
sation, succeeded in OBTAINING the
juvenile, and hunting up one OF the So
coins her mother had given her for
travelling trifes, swapped gold pieces
and called herself "just a husband and
SIS ahead" She changed her mind
very shortly as to the monetary gain,
for the first thing she heard as she
emerged from her room in her travel
ing suit was, "Taint as big as the one
he gave me first. Sister kept it and
said this would do we'll enough" Even
the groom marveled at the bushes of
his pretty wife as the urbane minister
wished her goodbye and godspeed.
