 Danger From a Mob.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 2.-Hon. Frank W. Pope, who was the independent Republican candidate for Governor in 1884, is being threatened with lynching at Madison, where he recently went for the purpose of procuring evidence to sustain the contest of F.. s. Goodrich (Rep.) for the Congressional seat for that district. Rumors refectiug on Mir. Pope's methods spread. and certain hot-headed indiyidu- als took advantage of the popular excite ment to inshgate a movement against him. The authorities determined that Mir. Pope should be protected at all haz- ards.
 Governor Fleming telegraphed to the same effect. Sheriff Parramore collected posse and surrounded the house where Mir. Pope was staying Thursday night, that being the time selected for the at tack. The would-be lynchers app cared, but were dismayed at the preparations made to receive them, and disappeared. It is feared that they will renew their operations, and the sheriff and posse are keeping careful watch over Pope. Mir. Pope is a native of Madison, but has be- come very unpopular of late years on &C., count of his political record. He Is plucky, and telegraphs his f!iends that he has no fear.

A MILLIONAIRE KILLED.
An old Man Seeks Revenge by Shooting
the Man He Claimed Had Ruined Him.

An Ola Man Seeks Revenge by Shooting
the Man He Claimed Had Ruined Him.
NEW YORK Sept. If. w. Gesswein,
the millionaire importer and manufact-
uTer of jewelers. tools and supplies, at 80
John street, this city, was shot and killed
by Christian DeYhle yesterday moTning
about l0:45 O'Clock in his private Cffice,
the result of business quarrel over a re-
hector which Deyhle claimed he had
patented. The two men had been at law
about the patent, and Deyhle had been
beaten in his suit.
Deyhle had been accustomed to call up
on Gesswein frequently at his store on
John street, but after his defeat in the
courts he discontinued his visits, and
nothing had been seen of him for the past
six months until nine O'Clock yesterday
morning, when he walked into esswein 's
store on the ground floor and inquired for
the proprietor. He was informed by one
of the clerks that G. sswein had not ar
rived but was expected shortly, and took
a chair, remarking that he would wait for
him. Nothing unusual was noticed about
his manner.
When, half an hour later, Gesswein en-
tered the store Deyhle gave a nod of rec
ognition, arose and approaching him,
said that he came on private business and
was invited into the Office upstairs on the
second floor, where they were alone with
the door closed.
After having been closeted for some
time a shot was heard, and when several
clerks rus he'd into the room they foun
DeyhIe standing with a smoking pistol in
his hand and Gesswien sinking on a
lounge. He died without saying word.
He was fOrty-One years old and Dey HE
sixty nine. Deyhle said he shot Gesswien
because the latter had robbed and ruined
him. He had no regrets as he was an old
man and had no money to go into business
or to secure admission into the home for
the aged. He was taken to the Tombs.
Inquiry among jewellers shows that there
is a general belisf that Gesswein had
wronged d 9yhle and had practically
robbed him of his invention. Gesswein at
first bought quite large quantities of
Deyhle's reflector. but finally ceased to
patronize him. Deyhle made inquiries
and became satisfied that GessweIn was
making the ref 9ctOrs himself, an in
fringement suit failed on technical
grounds and Deyhle was unable TO carry
the proceedings further.

COLONEL FLETCHER's CASH.

He is Sentenced by COurt-AEartial to Be
Cashtered-The Sentence DIsapprOved
BY the General OF the Army-A Case OF
Prejudice.
WAsHINGroN, Sept 1L-Some time ago
a court-martial was held at Fort Omaha,
Neb., that attracted a great deal of atten-
ton throughout the country. j. s.
Fletcher a Lieutenant Colonel of the Sec,
ond infantry, was accused of conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman
technically, and in the ordlnSry language
conduct unbecoming a so dier. His ac-
cusers were the officers of the post at Fort
Omaha and the principal witnesses againss
him were his wife and sister -in-law. The
case of this officer has become a matter o.
National importance throughout the coun.
try, especially in military circles, and not
only military men, hut civilians, are in
teres led in it The case can not be decided
for al least ten days more. The court
martial that tried Colonel Fletcher found
him guilty of the charges alleged against
him and sentenced him to be cashiered
from the army. 1t is believed throughout
the United States, both in military and
civil circles, that the officers at Omaha
were prejudiced against Colonel Fletcher,
and that the women in the case, who are
his wife and his sister-in-law, were or
ganizsd to destroy him. The proceedings
in the court-martial came on to Washing
ton in due time and were refer ed to
the Judge Advocate Generals bureau
in the War Department. The whole
case was looked into carefully
and the Judge Advocate General decided
to knock out the report and findings of the
court martial From the Judge-Acvo-
Gates office it went to the General of the
army, who is at pre- sent John NJ. SchOfeld.
Schofield looked into the case very
thoroughly and concluded to agree to the
findings of the Judge Advocate Generals
Office, From the General of the army, ac
cording to the red tape management of the
War Department the report should go tc
the Secretary of War 1t happens now
that the General of the army is acting as
Secretary of War and he did not care
to act in a double capacity in a
case of such Importance in military
circles as that of Colonel Fletcher.
In other words, he did not care to
approve as Secretary of War what he
approved Of as General of the Army. But
will prevail over his enemies. The court
martial at Omaha found him guilty and
sentenced m to dismi. sal from the army.
That sentence has been repudiated by the
Judge Advocates office; it has been re-
pudiated by the General of the army and
from all accounts it will be repudiated
within a few days by the Secretary of
War and by the President of the United
States a few days later. Fletcher was
done up by the court-martial, but the
thinking men of the army here have saved
him.

Mitchell County. Reuben Mitchell, g
negro, was killed in the house Of Willis
Bird, on the plantation of Mr.. B. A. Cul-
pepper. The deceased was in Willis
Birds kitchen, house separate from his
dwelling, when some unknown parties
called: rs Reuben Mitchell in thereP'
Mitchell Immediately ran out and was
pursued by three white men, into
the house of Bird, in which there was
scarcely any light. Bird was in the house,
but could not identify the parties. 1t is
said there were three other white men IN
the yard at the time of the killing. The
parties, following Mitchell into the house,
shot him with a pistol, the ball entering
near the nipple and lodging under the
skin on the backbone. A jury summoned
by Coroner J. 7. Owen rendered a YER
dict that the deceased came to his death
BY pistol shot from the hands of parties
unknown.
