an,nn's Murderer Hanged.

Dan Lyons, the murderer Of Quinn, was
hanged recently in New York. Lyons
passed his last night upon earth in a per-
fectly cool and collected way. His indif-
fersnce to the awful fate before him was
not bravado, neither was it religious en-
thusiasm. 1t was due to the fact that he
either did not or could not realizc his posi-
ton He was called at 1 o'clock i'll the
morning and arose. After performing his
additions Lyons received the priests, and
then the procession was formed to the
little chapel over the female prison. After
services they returned to the cell. At z
o'clock the procession to the gallows was
formed and at 7:l5 the drop fell. At the
time he was pronounced dead, mt 7:19.
there was but II %convnlsive movement of
the body. Twenty minutes later the body
was cut down and placed in n coffin and
taken to the undertaker's. The crime for
which Lyons was executed was the murder
of Joseph E. Quinn, July 8. 1887. The
two men had a dispute over a girl, which
ended n the shooting of Quinn.

A l,loo,ly Conflict.

What may prove o long and bloody
struggle opened recently on tho Maxwell
grant mt Stonewall, forty miles west of
Trinidad. The sheriff $ posse sent to keep
peace was met by armed settlers in num-
bcrs estimated Mt from 200 to 500 men.
The settlers demanded the arms of the
posse, which was refused. The posse took
up quarters in the Posier hotel, a large
frame building. The settlers ~cndeavored
to force an entrance when thepossco; encd
fire. II. ID. Russell. one of the Oldest set
tiers, fell lead and two or three other set
tiers were wounded. The building wns
O riddled by bullets. The eye witness
who gave this information left while the
conflict was still going on. The citizens
are greatly excited. The sheriff is gather
ing men i'll numbers to go to the relief of
the bcsiegcd posse. The settlers come from
the tributaries of Purgatoire river, from
Verlnejo. N. NJ. and also from the Costilla
grant. In those mountain businesses it
seems useless TO oppose them with either
militia oe regular troops. Public scnti-
ment i'll Trinidad is entirely with the set
tiers. The settler cavalry is com-
posed of both Americans and Mexicans.
The MeXicans are painted as if for war.

A lslixht ON Indiana,

The White Caps investigation has r.
shifted in the gathering of a great pile of
secret evidence that will be used to tre-
mendous advantage in the sitting of the
next Crawford county. Indiana. grand jury.
II is the general opinion. however. that the
local courts are so powerlcss that nothing
less than the state MALTA will be adequate
for protection in the trials that will be the
outcome OF the numerous indictment , TINT
will be heard from in October. 1t the
White Caps find 1t possible they will so
intimidate those who turn states evidence
on them as to drive them out of the colu-
try. Before the session Of the court &. eat

must. OF necessity, he done, az it has be-
come a matter of absolute necessity with
the people to drive the regulators from
their security. Property has Deprecated,
and the people are terrorixed. Never were
people more cOwed and subdued. Men Of
property are afraid to denounce tho White
Caps, fearing a loss of some of their pos
sessions. County officers, commissioners,
marshals, newspapers and many business
men have beea served with warnings TO
never open their heads. In approaching
the people on tile White Cup topic, they
IRE first nOn-committal and utterly UppOs-
ell to saying n word, and yet, under their
breath. they bitterly den0unce the whole
proceeding. An eminent judge said that
It was the worry of his life, That it was
the only evil that annoyed him; TINT he
felt us il u nightmare had come over the
community; that the White Caps hnd es-
tablished q precedent that would follow
them for half q century, and that il
leaves a blight that will be felt during the
remainder of the present generation.

wooden bridge from the Pittsburg division
struck the Baltimore and Ohio bridge, de-
stroycd i'll july and rebuilt, and was car
ried away with the rapidity of n cannon
ball. Warned by former experience, there
WAS no person on it. While athousand or
more people were massed on the substnn-
ial stone bridge over Wheeling creek at
man on tho creek bank 100 feet above
shouted warning and the panic-stricken
crowd rushed over md int , each other il

bridge was cleared those nearest seeing it
apparently safe turned back laughing Mt

The large paper mill owned by George
Whitney, situated on the island between
Neenah and Menasha, Wis, was burned
the other dav. While the burning structure
was surrounded by u crowd of spectators
the battery of hoilcrs exploded. The roof
and wallis were thrown outward, sending
showers of bricks and timbers among the
spectators. Eighteen were killed, several
fatally injured and "a number less seriously
hurt, several of whom will die. The mill
Was a threc-story structurt, built three
years ago ut II cost of 500, 900. When the
flames broke out there were about fifty
men in the building. Tho fire alarm
brought several hundred people to the
spot, who crowded as close to the burn.
building as the heat would permit. While
the building was II mass of flames, the ex.
plosion occurred without warning and in
an instant scores of men were buried by
the heavy debris. Hundreds began the
work of recovering the bodies of the dead
and rescuing and caring for the wounded.
Body after body was found crushed and
mangled by Ii & eat timbers. The in
juied were carried to n%eighboring resi-
ueaces, OF to their homes, as soon as their
identity could be est hlished, and the
dead were taken to the city hall. Tile
dead IRE as follows:
John Moore, james Bridges, Vim, Guilt

The fatally injured are: Albert Holclomcr
EenjaMnin CrnMse, Joseph Smith, Joe Smith
John Sultock, Jingle Sneltz.
The fire caught in the boiler-room in a
large quantity of fuel, shavings. etc. The
fireman had left his post to get II drink of
water, and on lookinghnck into the boiler
room found the fumes among the piles of
shavings. Before he could got the hose
or give an alarm the flames rushed from
the room and drove him out. An immense
revolving bleach was i'll the heating room,
adjoining the fire room, and was filled
with rags and straw. When the roof over
the hcnting room fell in the firemen turned
the hose over the bleach, and instantly
the explosion occurred and ten tons of
boiler debris shot ont of the building into
the lot 200 feet away. In the passage it
struck the heads of the h%ystandcrs, now
ing them down like grass.
The cause of tile awful calamity is
traced directly to the iron blcacl. II is
said that this was full of steam ind rags
and had become ovcrhcatcl. When the
cold water struck it the explosion instantly
followed.
The mill was built by VIM. Gilbert, OF
Ncchah, Wis, in 1852. The members of
the firm had business differences and dis
solved about two years ago, Gilbert rctir-
