TWO KENTUCKIANS LYNCHED.
Green Mccoy and Milton Haley Taken from
West Virginia Jail and Hung by Mob.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct. 2Z.-Informa-
tion was brought by courier to-day from
Hamilton, Lincoln county. that at midnight
on Friday night a mob surrounded the Lin
coin county Jail. forced an entrance, after a
short resistance by the authorities, took
two of the prisoners. Green Mccoy
and Milton Haley, and hung them
to tree short distance from
the Jail building. Haley and Mccoy
are natives of Kentucky. and are allied to
the Mccoy faction of outlaws. whose mur-
derous feud with the Hatfields is generally
in shooting scrape with Paris Brumfield
about year ago. and about a month ago
be- in company with Haley, ambnshed and
attempted to murder Brumfeld and his
wife. This shooting occurred on a Sunday
night, and both victims were badly
wounded, Mrs. Brumfeld being shot in the
breast and her husband in the leg. For a
time it was thought the woman would die
but she finally recovered. Mccoy and Ha-
ley escaped to tOKentucky, but not until they
had made two more attempts at assassina-
tion in the county. In one of which q man
named Adkins was wounded. The two
wOuid-be murderers were arrested in Mar
tin county, Kentucky. and were confined in
Jail there until Friday, when they were
locked up in the Lincoln county Jail. In

supposed they were lynched by some of the
Hatfield sympathiZers.

DOES NOT SUIT SOCIALISTS.

They DO Not Want Laborers to Get Higher
Wages, but Prefer to See Them Disseminated.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Mr. Tillett, the able
lieutenant of John Burns in the recent
London dockmen's strike, is carrying on a
vigorous Socialist propaganda and work of
Organization in the large cities of the
United Kingdom. His last and most sue
cessful efforts have been made at Bristol.
To-day he addressed a monster mass-meet-
ing of workmen in that city. Competent
observers place the number of his listeners
at 10000. Tillett urged the benefits of COM
bination. and held out glowing prospects
of success. based on the result in the case
of the dockers. His remarks were not ad-
dressed to any particular class of workers,
but applied equally to all trades.
1t is noteworthy that the regular. radical
Socialists do not give hearty support to
the movement initiated by Burns and
Iillett. A slight increase of wages, involv-
ing greater cOntentment on the part of
the workers with the wage system, has no
charms for the out-and-Out Socialist, who
would, on the contrary, SO arouse discon-
tent with the whole existing fabric as to
hasten it's total overthrow and the estab-
lishmenJ of universal cooperation. Burns
and Tillett have. therefore, been almost
read ont of the Socialist party by reason
OF their having descended to practical
methods.

usually steady and methodica1 in their

the American workmen. They are indus
trious, but fond of amusement, and are too
often interrupted by the numerous holidays
observed here. Their homes are far from
comfortable. There are few houses inhab-
tied by single family. Generally one
house shelters from eight to twelve families.
Overcrowding is great in these dwellings,
and morality is affected by it. On account
of the dearness of the land, there is a
scarcity of small houses suitable for sin

tolerably good. Much wine and beer are

CRUSADE AGAINST JEWS.
Stores of Merchants at Delhi, La, Smashed BY
!. Mob-One Thousand Shots Fired.

VICKsBURG, Miss, Oct. 27.-A. ID. Simon
and j. Feiber, of New Orleans. employed
lately by T. Hirsch, prominent merchant
of Delhi, La, arrived here this afternoon.
They gave the particulars of riot which
they say took place at 1 o'clock Saturday
morning. in Delhi, in which the stores of
several Jewish merchants were attacked
by an armed mob and fired into. They trace
the cause of the disturbance to business
rivalry, as the Jews were monopolizing
the trade of the town, and say
the mob numbered from thirty
to one hundred men, and fired fully one
thousand shots that night. not at persons.
but into stores of Jewish merchants. Simon
and Feiber slept in q small room parti-
toned at the rear of Hirsch's store. At the
hour designated they were aroused by shots
and by bullets crashing through the parti-
tlOn. Some of these trophies they brought
away with them and showed around this
afternoon. About fifty. shots were fired
into Hirseh's store, smashing the glass front
to atoms. ). Blum s. Co.'s place was serl-
ously damaged, but Karpe, We'll & Co.'s
windows were battered and broken with
bricks. No threats of sonalviolence were
made nor attemt to infiict personal injury.
nor were the Jewish merchants ordered to
leave town. The witnesses understood.
however. that the people desired native
clerks to be employed in the stores. They
say the town authorities were powerless to
protect any one. To this statement they
expressed a Willingness to make affidavit.
They add that general regret was expressed
in tho town at Hirsch being disturbed, and
that the town people are friendly.
These reports are discredited by many,
who say the outrage was committed by q
few drunken loafers, and not by ordinary
quiet citizens.

he gave Burke, the bank -robber. his re-
lease Tor price. Burke has been absent
from the penitentiary since last April. and
1t was given out that he had escaped

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-It is generally be-
lieved that the Secretary of the Treasury.
in his forthcoming report to Congress. will
devote considerable attention TO the ques-
tion of Immigration. The abuses at Castle
Garden, and the never-ceasing nights and
disagreements among the Commissioners of
Immigration, have become SO intolerable
that the turning over Of this business TO
the federal authorities has become an ab-
solute necessity. While the respective be-
nevolent societies are doing all the work of
guiding and counseling the immigrants.
the commission pockets the money Their
claim for salaries alone for the last two
months amounts to over $1,000, aud, be-
sides, every Immigrant must contribute his
30 cents towards this, whether he stays
or is sent back. Attention IS also paid TO
the amount of money he brings along.
All who come bring more or less of foreign
coin, and this may be estimated by the
average of one ship-load of several hundred
passengers at SS5 per capita. An exchange
broker has the monopoly for exchanging
this for United States currency. AS it is

great powers would not take Turkey into a
partnership to which she could contribute
nothing but troubles. The league is doubt

The visit of the German Emperor to Con-

His Majesty has ordered that the ruler of
Germany shall be received with fitting ma

But it is not only with the guns of SOL

Emperor is to pass shall be well-paved and
cleansed; that the houses shall be in good

light after sundown was previously un-

more potentates to COnstantinople, per-

on the line of the route. and who have to
bear all these expenses for outward show,
are wishing they resided in some other

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-Resolutions were
adopted with reference to the electric-light
wire question by the executive committee
of the National Electric-hght Association.
The committee resolve that currents, both
direct and alternating, of the intensity of
electro-motive force now in use in this and
other cities of the country. are absolutely
necessary for the successful and economical
distribution of electricity for arc and in
candescent lightning and power purposes,
and that TO substantially reduce the cleo
tric pressure or electro motive force of the
currents now IN use would increase seri-
ously the cost and cripple the industries;
that faulty insulation was the cause of ac-
cideHts. coupled with restrictive legislation
ard divided responsibility. which have
prevented comprehensive repairs. Safe in
sulation of high tension wires is possible.

An Engineer Who Wants to Build Tower 200
Feet High, and to Cost S175, 100000.

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 21.-George w. Cooley.
formerly city engineer of Minneapolis, has
designed structure. which he proposes
shall be erected on the grounds of the
worlds fair. The colossal proportions of
thesstructure would make the Eiffel tower
turn green with envy. The design con-
templates pyramid OF granite. each side
of whose base is to be 800 feet long and
whose summit Will be 100 feet square and
1.O00 feet above the ground. At
the extreme top will be placed
q Goddess of Liberty 200 feet high, making
the total height 200 feet. At each corner
is to be tower 100 feet high. surmounted
by statues of Columbus, Washington, the
President and some other prominent man
in the Nations history. Mr.. Cooley believes
the scheme can be carried. through in two
years. and will lay his plans before the
coming meeting of the National Association
of Engineers TO ascertain its feasibility.
He estimates the cost of such a structure at
about S175, 900.
