The World. Highest Mountain.

A few years ago the English gave the
name Of Mount Everest to that peak in
the eastern Himalayas which. as far az
yet known, Is the highest mountain in
the world. In May last they gave the
name Of Mount GOdwiu-AustCn 10 the
peak in the Western Hima.avas which is
supposed to be the second lolliest sum
init Most British geogTaphers adhere
TO the lgUIabla ruiz 10 give q every

but here are Ihe two highest mountains
in the world brariug TIE names Of two
Englishmeu Distinguished as surveyors.
ThCre b.. however. an excellent reason
why these stupendous heights will never
be known by native names.
Each N these mountains is surrounded
by several satellite peaks that are nearly
as high n the pinnaclcs which lift their
snowy heads little above them. These
surrounding mountains entirely cut off
the view Of the luftior submits from the
nearest inhabited regions. The natives
have given names 10 these satellites, but
they have never seen the higher sum-
mits, which have consequently been un-
named until foreign explorers revealed
them to the world.-New York Sun.

IYNcHED BY BALD KNOBBERs.

SPRINGFIELD, No, Nov. 15.-A rumor
reached here this morning from Christian
county, the home OF the famous Bald
Knobber king, Dave Walker, to the effect
that five of the witnesses who testified
against him in the trial for murder, have
been lynched by ex-Bald Knobbers. It is
said that friends OF Walker waited until
the supreme court had passed upon the
case OF Walker, and when it was an
nounced that the ex-chief of the Bald
knobbers must hang, they wreaked veng-
eance on the five leading witnesses who
brought him within the shadow of the
gallows.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12.-The following has
been learned concerning the rumOred
lynching of five witnesses whose testimony
convicted four of the Bald Knobbers. The
lynching is said TO have taken place on
Tuesday night on the banks of Bull creek,
in Christian county. Nothing authentic
has been learned, however, the point at
which it is said to have occurred being
forty miles from telegraph station, and
the only means of communication is by
messenger. Late last light Il man arrived
here from Taney City in fancy county, to
see Joe Inman ana Charles Graves to give
them warning to return to their homes in
Christian county. lnman and Graves
were concerned in the Greene and Edens
murder, and tc save ther necks they
turned states evidence. Both came here
some weeks ago. Grant knew nothing Of
the lynchng himself The information
had been brought to him by one of In
mans relatives, who did not stop to give
particulars, but continued his flight to-
wards Arkansas, after begging Grant to
warn Inman and Graves.
KANSAS CITY, Nov ia Times
special from Springfield, Mo-, says
that "a reliable gentleman who ar
rived there tonight from Bull Greek
neighborhood in Christian county, reports
everything quiet when he left. He does
not think there is any truth in the rumor
that five Bald Knobber witnesses were
killed and thinks that the rumor arose
from the fact that Inman, one of the gang
who turned states evidence, was Warned
not 10 go that part of the county. More
over, there were only three members of
the gang who turned states evidence

AVOIDING DISCRIMINATION.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-At meeting of the
western freight association today the
Chicago s. Northwestern railroad agreed
to suspend action for one month on its
packing house products and live stock to
the basis of 5 cents per 100 from Omaha to
Chicago. The notice was not withdrawn,
but will not be put into effect until the
next monthly meeting of the association
unless it is discovered that the roads are
cutting rates. The present rate of u cents
on packing house products against 25 cents
on live hogs has called for a protest from
the Chicago freight bureau on account of
the discrimination in favor of one class of
shippers against another. In reference
to these protests the Chicago roads resolv-
ed that on and after January l, the rate on
packing house products from Missouri
river points should be no less than the
late ON live hogs from the same points

FIGHTING OVER HIS GRAVE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-When Father Nc
Glynn was excommunicated from St.
Stephens church John Mcclure and his
family left with him. At meeting of the
Anti-Poverty society afterward founded
by DR.. McGlynn on February 19. McGuire
suddenly expired The church authorities
refused to allow his remains to be placed
in Calvary cemetery. the Catholic burying
ground. Suit was brought by his son to
restrain the authorities from interfering
with the burial and for $1,000 damages.
The case came up today and evidence was
adduced to show that the lot was purchas-
ed in 1870 and that deceased continued a
devoted Catholic up to his death. Defense
claimed that followers of DR.. McGlynn
have communicated themselves. Rev
DR.. Burtsell, Church Epiphany, said Nc
Guire had not violated any church rules by
attending the lecture of DR.. McGlynn.
The case is still on
