NEW YORK, January 23.-A Plymouth,

three negro prisoners had been taken from
the county Jail by masked men, conveyed
TO the wood on tho outskirts of the town,
tied to trees and then shot to death. Their
bodies were toundin the position in which
the lynce-rs left them, securely bound to
the trees and riddled with bullets.
The lynching party gathered at the jail
shortly before midnight ard demanded
that the jailer should deliver to them
Jack Blount, his brother Matthew Blount
and Patterson Spruitt, all cOlOred, who
had been jailed, charged with the murder
of John Dawson, a peddler, New Years
day last. The jailer refused, but was over
powered and forced to permit the men to be
taken away. When the woods were reached,
the victims begged piteOusly for mercy,
but no attention was paid to their out
cries, except the stern reply that they
would be given a moment to pray. Then
the lynchers, who were armed with shot
guns, muskets and pistols, began their
bloody work, and fired volley after volley,
until the wretches were dead. Matthew

SSeciGl Telegram TO he Sunday Register.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, January 2S.-
developments to-day in the Logan-Pike
county war were not important in charac'
ter. The object of the visit Of W. T.
Floyd and ]. A. Sheppard, Of Logan
county, was to lay the resolution and
petitions of the Logan county people be
fore the Governor. As stated yesterday
Governor Wilson has received Telegram
from the Governor of Kentucky, saying
he would take steps to prevent the future
invasions of the Pike county people II
West Virginia. The sentiment Of Logan
people is for peace. One of the objects Of
the recent mass meeting at Logan Court
House was to pass resolutions correcting
the misrepresentation OF Pike county
people to the Governor OF Kentucky.
The stories being carried to Frankfort
are TO the effect that the Hatfield band had
threatened to burn Pike Court House ano
release the nine Virginians confined IN the
Pike county Jail. Many other exagger'
ated stories have been carried to rank
fort, ION of which have any foundation IN
fact. The Hatfields have studiously
avoided the borders.
The Governor has not made public his
intended action in the matter, aud will
take no steps until he has had further
communication with Governor Buckner.
w. p. Floyd and J. A. Sheppard will
leave for Logan Monday. The Golf Guards
rendered their services to the Governor by
telegraph to-day. The opinion seems to
prevail that the Governors will arrange IL
place troops on either side of the border,
to preserve peace aud quiet and protect In
nocent and law abiding citizens.

there is a labor organization.
The appeal says: "The following letter
was sent to Presidents COrhin and kcim,
January 18th: ave submit the following
in confidence, not TO betray our fellow

their opponents any advantage, hut 70 set

STORM SWEPT.
The GREAT BLIZZARD CONTINUES.
New York and New England States Suffer
the Most

OswEao, n. Y, January 28.-The storm
ragged worse than ever last night. Deep
cuts on the railroads that had just been
cleared OF snow were once more filled up.
The thermometer was ten degrees below
zero, and the wind blew ten miles an hour.
All trains on the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg railroad have been again aban-
doned. The Delaware, Laekawanna and
Western road is also badly blocked, and
the trains that are run are making very
poor time. A passenger train due here last
evening from the west spent the night
three miles west of here. The blockade is
the worst in years, and every effort is be-
Ing made TO raise it, but with little effect,
az the high wind fills the cuts up as soon
as cleared.
The delay in the arrival and departure
of mails, owing to the sno blockade,
continues, and was worse last night than
during the preceding twenty-four hours.
The trains have not been so irregular for
several years. The Chicago express, over
the New York Central, due at 500 last
night, did rot arrive until lilo o'clock this
morning. All trains on the Pennsylvania
%railroai between here and Washington, d.
c. are from an hour to an hour and a half
late. The Chicago express, on the New
York Central, due here at S:45 o'clock this
morning, is five hours late. All trains
from the West on the Erie are from four to
FIVE hours late. The New York Central is
making no attempt to send out freight
trains. One thousand six hundred east
bound loaded freight cars are stalled at
East Syracuse ard 800 more at West AL
bany.
An Auburn dispatch says: The storm
shows no sign of abatement in this section.
The hotels here and at Canajohar;e are
crowded with snow-bOund guests, and
there it but little prospect Of theic being
able TO continue their journey for some
days. Eleven passenger trains are stuck
in drifts within fifty miles ofthis city. A
snow plow with five engines has been sent
out By the New York Central road, but its
labors are useless, as the wind drifts the
snow back on the track as soon as it passes

Every effort was made TO find him, but as

caught and are now in Jail at chihuahua,
they have all confessed and their share Of

arrest, that they would at once be shot, as
a recently passed federal law expressly re-
quired, but for some reason or other the
death penalty will not be inflicted, but
they will all he sentenced 10 hard labor for
life. Sach a sentence is usual served out
in some mines belonging to government,
and the punishment is considered equal in
severity to that of the Russian exiles in
Siberia. The reason Of the leniency shown
in mitigating the death penalty to impris.
onment for lite is because the culprits are
all Americans, with whom the government
did not wish to be TOO severe.
