Lynched for an Outrage.

+ CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March TO-
Will Thomas, colored, was lynched at
Tunnel Hill, Georgia, twenty-five
miles south of this city, last night. The
negro brutally assaulted Mrs. Eliza
Anderson, a widow living near that
place. late Thursday evening. When
she escaped she told her neighbors and
said she could identify the scoundrel.
A vigorous pursuit was commenced by
a band of forty regulators, armed with
shot guns. They traced Thomas to the
surrendered. Then the regulators
marched back to the village with the
prisoner and took him before Mrs. An
derson, who identified him and asked
the privilege of shooting the negro.
She was refused this and the men put
a rope around Thomas neck, mounted
on mule and went out of town and
hanged him

JUNCTION CITY, Kans., Mch. 6.-At
full meeting of the Junction City
board of trade, held this evening, the
following expression was made con-
corning the artillery and cavalry
schools now in progress at Fit. Riley:
Whereas, The United States mill
tary authorities, during years of
neglect and practical abandonment OF
TT. Riley, persiStently refused to re-
duce the military reservation or open
any part of it to settlement, thus re-
tardiug the growth of this section,
have at last commenced the rebuild
ing and development of the post on a
liberal scale; the contracts let consume
all the money appropriated, and upon
their completion in few months the
work must stop short of the end de-
signed by the authorities; that designes
of the military department with respect
to Fit. Riley are of great consequence to
central Kansas, providing for the dis
bursement of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in our midst, now expended
elsewhere, which will make a horse,
stock and grain market equal to the
best in the country; for the absolute
necessities of the government more can
be obtained for the money expended in
this way at Fl. Riley than for any
other disbursement for public funds:
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the board of trade OF
Junction City that the senators and
representatives in congress from the
state of Kansas are respectfully re-
quested and urged to assist the mill
tary authorities in securing liberal ap-
preparations for the continuance of the
work they have on hand at Fl. Riley
as matter of interest to this portion
Of their constituents and as
an important factor in the
general development in the state, lest
suspension of work might be danger
Gus or fatal to the splendid and extern
sive plans contemplated by the de-
partment at this post.
Resolved, That while we believe in a
responsible construction of public
buildings at points where business
necessItates them we doubt such dis
tribution of the funds as $780,
600 5000, 900, and $500, 600 for a
single building for a limited use
in cities where the government
could rent for less expense and over
looking military establishment where
a whole brigade can be housed for the
cost for one of these buildings.
Resolved that copy of these resOlu-
tions be sent to each senator and re-
preventative in congress from the
state of Kansas.

AFrightruI Conflagraaion


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March THE
new Office of the Evening Union, at
the corner of Maine and Worthington
streets, was burned out this afternoon,
and the blaze was attended with the
most sickening horror ever witnessed in
this city, six of the employees meeting
terrible deaths, most of them jump
ing from the fifth story and being.
crushed into shapeless mass below,
and six others were badly injured. The
fire was first discovered in the mailing
room and clouds of smoke were pour
ing out of the lower story windows
before the fifty souls on the upper
floor were aware of their danger. The
flames shot up an old elevator in the
rear, cutting off escape by the stairs,
and most of the employees who escaped
found their way to the ground by way
of the roof in the rear. The unfortun-
ate men and women who crowded into
the editorial rooms met a horrible
| fate. Some were cut of in the CON-
| posing room, and there is still ter
rible suspense as several fell back into
the flames. The employees who rushed
| into the editorial room were cut OFF
from the escape in the rear and had to
face the horrible alternative of
burning to death OF a jump to the side
walk below and frightful mutiiation
| The fire department responded prompt
", but it seemed an age before il
reached the windows on the fifth sto-
~. A ladder was put up to the fourth
story and the sight of rescue Sc
near seemed to madden the suffering
group at the two windows who dropped
| TO the sidewalk below. Six fell il
this way, some Of them forced off. and
some madly leaped, and the crowd
groaned and turned their heads away
as they whirled through the air. The
dead are as follows: Henry l. Goulding

burned to death; Miss G.. Thompson

any sort. George B. Ware, the As
ISOLATED Press operator, had q narrow
escape. He was sitting in room on
the Worthington street side of the
block when the alarm was given. The
rooms in front and the passage ways
were thick with smoke as he jumped
up to run. In the same room
were Mrs. Farley, Mrs. How

herself and succeeded. She rushed
out to the front of the building. /

Mrs. Howard through window to the

Joseph L. Landlord was standing on
the sidewalk at the end of the building
furthest from the corner when Mrs.

She fell on his neck, throwing
him to the ground senseless.
Mrs. Farley was killed instantly.
Mr.. Landlord was soon restored
to consciousness, and is not seriously

was in the news room when he heard
the first cry of fire. The forms had

enjoying the customary relaxation
after the hurry of the afternoon.
Four or five of them were in the room
working, chatting and joking. 1t
