RALEIGH, N. O., June 27.-There is
great excitement in the little town OF
Coloraine, in BERTHE county.
Week before last DR.. II. S. Keith died
and was buried there. 1t was believed
by some persons that there was foul
play in the case. Public feeling grew 80
high that there was demand for disin'
terment OF the body and post mortem
examination.
The casket was lifted out and it was
found to contain no body, only some
bricks and pieces Of wood. What became
Of the body or whetherthere was burial
Is profound mystery. There are no
medical colleges anywhere in that re-
gion. superstitiouB negroes say that DR.,
Keith rose from the grave, by what
power they know not. There are no
signs that the grave had been disturbed
prior to the official opening.
Some persons believe that the Doctor
was poisoned, that his body was taken
out Of the coffin by the person who
poisoned him, and that the body wa
buried in some secret place so that in
yestigation would be fruitless.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 27.-Dispatches

rousing ratification meetings. The first

Illuminated half the town with its glare

shouts for Harrison.
At Valparaiso an enthusiastic Harri-

as strong one MS could have been

WASHINGTON, D. G., June 27.-The
House resumed the tariff debate to-day.
Judge Kelley's proposition to defer fur
ther action until the next session, now
that both parties have defined the issue
to the country, took Chairman Mills by
surprise, and he was unprepared to
make better reply than simply that he
wouldn't do it. Mr.. Reeds reioinder
that every item OF the bill would be
discussed by the Republicans before a
vote will be allowed, means several
weeks more OF debate.
Chairman Mills extended a marked
courtesy to Major Mckinley to-day, in
consenting to pass over the hoop iron
and cotton tie items until Mckinley re-
turns. 1t is understood that the Ohio
member proposes to charge gross favor
itism to Southern cotton interests by
placing cotton ties on the free list, while
the same iron used on n poor mans wash

A MURDERER IYNGHED.
Wallace Mitchell is Hanged by
aMob of Citizens
OF SYRACUSE, IN KANSAS,
For the Murder of Boy-HIs Cold
Blooded Recital of the Deed
Arouscs Uncomfortable Indig-
nation Among the People.

SYRACUSE, KAs., June 27.-Wallace
Mitchell had his preliminary trial be-
fore Justice Wagner yesterday. He
plead guilty to the murder OF August
johnson. He repeated the story OF his
crime with the utmost sang troid and us
il it was an every day occurrence. At
the conclusion Of his testimony he was
remanded to jail until the September
term of court. The cold blooded re-
cital OF his fiendish deed by the pris-
oner had an exciting effect on the peo-
pie and everywhere on the streets knots
of men were gathered, with him us the
theme Of conversation. 1t was easy to
sec that storm was brewing and that
summary Justice was likely to be visited
on the guilty man.
After dark matters came more to
focus, and about midnight body of
men numbering hundred or more gath
cred around the water tank, and under
the lead OF a captain, proceeded to the
vicinity OF the jail and demanded ad-
mittance ofthe Sheriff. This he refused,
and declared his intention to protect his
prisoner at all hazards. The citizens
seemed ioath TO make any assault on the
Sheriff, but none the less determined to
have their man. Two men were again
sent to demand the keys, but the Sheriff
was gone. A part of the assailants start
ed in hot pursuit, while others went for
railroad iron TO batter in the doors.
The Sheriff, however, was soon over
hauled, but another delay occurred as
he had thrown the keys away. The cul-
prit was got out, however. He was taken
directly to the place where the mur-
der was committed and given all the
time he desired for prayer and confess
sion. He entirely exonerated Oscar
johnson from completely in the murder
and said the SheFiffof Los Animas coun-
ty, Colorado, helped him to make up the
story. He then made his last prayer
and ut about the hour he killed the boy
Q:30 n. m. hung u lifeless corpse from
the cross piece Of n telegraph pole.
Mitcbells crime was the murder OF
little boy l2 years old and the attempted
murder OF his father, for money, and
the endeavor to implicate another man
in the hideous crime. The verdict Of
the people sustains the lynching.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The House
to-day resumed consideration of the Pa
cifc Land bill.
The ayes and noes were taken on Mr.
Holman's amendment, retaining title in
Government coal mines found on public
lands, but allowing entrymen to mine
such coal deposits until Congress acts
further in the matter.
The amendment was adopted and the
bill passed.
Mr.. Mills called up the tariff bill, and
Mr.. Kelley, OF Pennsylvania, suggested
on his individual responsibility, as Il
means OF expediting adjournment, that
the tariff bill be laid aside until the next
session, its fate then to depend upon the
result ofthe November elections, and that
thesurplus be kept down by an entire re-
peal OF the tobacco tax.
Mr.. Mills rejected the suggestion, and
made counter proposal that the Re-
publicans should fix an early day for
taking final vote on the bill. ..
Mr.. Reed, OF Maine, declared that Mr..
Kelly spoke for himself alone, and that
the Republicans would insist upon
pointing out the detects of the bill in
detail.
Mr.. Breckinridge, Of Kentucky, de-
clared that the Democrats intended to
have vote on the bill unless the 4th OF
March was reached by obstruction. lie
challenged the Republicans to put their
platform in the shape OF legislative
proposition, and then take u test vote
between that and the pending bill, let
ting it go to the Senate If passed by the
House. He suggested that the vote be
taken at the end OF ten Legislative days.
Mr.. Reed replied that minority could
not pass bill it would be absurd to try
1t.
Mr.. Springer, OF Illinois, endeayored
to have considered a resolution direct
ing the Committee on Ways and Means
to report date for taking the vote, but
Mr.. Kelly objected.

yesterday from the Mexican Central
agent at silao, saying that in two days
the track would be so that passengers
could be taken through the flooded area

Steps are being taken for the relief of
the sufferers by the terrible overdows
along the line of the Mexican Central.
1t seems that at least 1900 people were
drowned in Leon alone. Over 1000
bodies have already been recovered. In
some districts the drifting water is full
of dead bodies, floating as thick as DRIFT
wood and the stencil prevailing the
country is frightful. Measures are being
taken all over Mexico to raise funds for
