ENTERPRIsING LYNCHERs.
Bold Attempt to Hang a Man Accused
Of a Shocking Crime.

Oh - SuOCAhuS
HENRIETTA, TEX, Jan. 27.-The preliminary
trial Of A. A. Steagel, Of Clay county, charged
with living in adultery with his daughter,
came off yesterday. Bail was refused the pris-
oner on testimony showing that he had admin
istered all the medicine taken by his daughter,
from which it was inferred that he had poi
soned her. During the trial the crowd brought
rope into the court room for the purpose of
lynching Steagel. The crowd was kept quiet
until after the trial, when the officers started
with the prisoner for the Jail. One OF the crowd
carried a rope with a loop in one end, and as
soon as the defendant stepped out OF the court
house door an effort was made to lynch him,
but the rope man was caught, and Steagel seeing
the intention, ran with lightning speed to the
jail, begging for entrance, which was quickly
given by an officer who CHANGED TO be there.
The officers turned upon the crowd, brandish-
ing their pistols in the faces of the men, threat
ening to kill the first man who pursued the
prisoner The officers continued to back until
they had reached the door Of the Jail, and there
stood with pistols In hand until the crowd dis
persed. Public feeling runs high, and il is
thought another attempt to lynch Steagel will
soon be made.

The Charges not Sustained.

WHAT AN EXAMINATION OF THE GIBSON
BROTHERS WORK SHOWED.
New charges have been filed with the first
controller against Gibson Brothers in connec
ton with printing done by them for the COM
missioners of the court of Alabama claims.
The first charges alleged overcharges, in charg-
ing 95 cents per page of ], 1876 ems instead of
1912 ems. The accused conceded that the
pages contained but 1,196 ems, but held that
they were printed after samples of work for the
French-American commission, as required. The
new charges allege overcharges for tabulated
work, which formed large part of that per-
formed. The first controller held hearing on
the new charges this morning. Mr.. Gibson
stated that the tabulated work was charged for
as SO many pages of 1,242 ems. Samples of
the tabulated work were produced and
measured by Mr.. Gibson with two prac-
teal printers of the controllers office, as expert
witnesses. No work examined yesterday
showed an overcharge, but in some instances
more work was performed than charged for.
The controller intends to have other samples of
the work examined and measured before rem
dering decision.

poses to revive the payment OF arrearages but
it eniarges the classes of pensioners. Among
the democrats there is strong feeling OF OppO-
sition to the bill, on the ground that its enact
ment would put peremptory stop to all plans
for the reduction OF taxation. Democrats main
tain that their opposition to the measure cam

FALLSTON FARMERS, CLUE
MNunI Air Farm

All but three members of the club on the roll
being called responded to their names, and sat
isfactory explanations for the absence of two of
these were given. Mr.. Edelin's home called
Mt. Air, is pleasantly situated, overlooking the
Maryland Central railroad and beautiful green
hills beyond. The improvements have ali been
recently built and are of a good, substantial
character, but are as yet in somewhat unfin-
ished condition. No doubt IL the possessor were
married the mistress would hasten whitewash-
ing and ornamentation. The farm is admirably
adapted for grazing and Mr.. Edelin, has herd
or cattle which Will doubtless rapidly improve
upon an extensive pasturage.
The inspection committee, consisting of
Messrs. Garrett Amoss, Jos. g. Favour and VIM.
5. Preston, reported the farm looking well, and
the barn filled with hay, wheat and oats. His
corn field is very clean of weeds and the yield
promises to be unusually good for the season.
Like the owners of most new places. Mr.. Edelin,
has had great success with chickens, and it Is
rare to see larger number than he has in the
various stages of growth. Whilst the club were
sauntering around their attention was called to
the Basdel churn, exhibited by Mr.. Jas. L..
Eames. 1t is constructed on different princi-
pie from anything we have seen, and its effect
iveness in producing butter. demonstrated by
five minutes churning done on the spot. An
article read upon the value of Manure" proved
an interesting theme, the argument being to the
effect that the richer the food in nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, the more valuable would
be the manure, and according to tables shown
there is a marked difference in the foods ordi-
narily consumed upon the farm.
After desultory discussion upon other matters
the club adjourned to meet at Mr.. Jas. G. Robin
sons home. "Sunnyside," Oct. It'll.

The Brooklys Eagle suggests Right Rev. j.
II. d. Wingfeld of Northern California, as an
excellent man for the vacant Bishopric of Eas-
ton. Bishop Wingfeld is native of Portsmouth,
Va.r and was formerly rector of Christ Church
Crock SPRING. in this county. The Eagle says
"The Bishop OF Northern California is not only
an excellent preacher and thorough scholar,
with fine administrative ability, but he is gen.
tleman and the son of a gentleman. n
He has been able to do a much greater work
for Northern California than the loved and l,-
mented Bishop Lay was able to do for Arkansas
before he was translated to Easton. He is a Vir-
ginian, as was the first bishop of Easton. DR..
Wingfeld is churchman of the same type as
DIR. Lay was, and he more resembles that bishop
in character, temper and disposition than any
man in the church. If the diocese of Easton
wants a bishop who is tried and true, they could
do no better than to elect the Right Rev. j. II.
