PRESERVING THE PEACE.

JoHNsToWN, Pa, June 3.-The citizens
committee are making desperate efforts to
preserve the peace and the Hungarians at
Cambria City are being kept in the house
by men with clubs who will not permit the
Hungarians to go outside of their home
There seems to be considerable race preju-
dice at Cambria City and trouble may fol-
low, as both the English and Hungarians
are getting worked up to considerable
extent.
Quite an exciting scene took place in the
borough of Johnstown last night. A
Hungarian was discovered by two men in
the act of blowing up the safe in the First
National bank building with dynamite a
cry was raised and in few minutes a
crowd had collected and the cry of Lynch
him" was raised and in less time than it
takes to tell it the man was strung up to
a tree in what was once about the central
portion of Johnstown. Not content with
this the vigilance committee riddled the
mans body full of bullet holes He re-
manned hanging to the tree for several
hours when some person cut him down
and buried him with the other dead.

only way to find out how many lives were

SANITARY AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON. June 3-The Masonic re-
lief committee which went from Pittsburg
to Johnstown telegraphed President Har-
rison this afternoon urging the appoint
ment of national commission to take
charge of sanitary affairs at the scene Of
disaster. 1t was urged that the presence
OF so many decaying corpses would breed
pestllence there, besides polluting the wa
ter OF the streams, affecting all the coun-
try between Pittsburg and New Orleans.
President Harrison conferred with Gen
eral Schofeld, who was present at the
white house whom the message was re-
celved, and shortly Surgeon General Ham,
llton was summoned to take part in the
conference. The fact was developed that
the national sanitary corps. if such it may
DE called, is composed Of phys
Iclans located at various points.
DR.. Atkinson would confer with and assist
the Pennsylvania state board of health in
any measure II might institute in aid OF
the pubic health and comfort, and that
Surgeon General Hamilton would be ready
TO give advice or assistance. so that what
ever was undertaken might be carried for

GIBSON HELD.
IOrdan's Supposed Murderer Bound Over
Ashland Notes.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle
ASHLAND, Kan,, June 3.-John Gibson,
mention of whose arrest on suspicion of
having murdered George Jordon has been
made in the EAGLE has had preliminary
examination and held for trial before the
district court.
District court commences on the 4th
with Judge Price on the bench for the
first time in Clark county. The docket is
a lengthy one, containing AL cases-11
criminal and $50 civil.
Clark county's new temple of justice is
nearing completion. The court house is
erected at cost to the county of $4,000,
and is by far the finest one in the border
tier counties west of Wellington. In the
matter of pubic buildings, Ashland stands
at the head.
A miniature cyclone blew the roof off
the house of John Long, carrying it a
considerable distance. The house was oc-
cupied by Longs family at the time, they
remaining in it all night standing in a
two-inch rainfall. No one was injured.
The herd law is becoming, or has been
for long time, extremely obnoxious to
The stock raisers of this county. The
farmers are wisely turning their attention
TO the raising of stock in connection with
farming, and can now see the utter folly
Of having the present herd law. 1t is de-
nounced upon all sides and it is very likely
this county may petition the next legisla-
lure to have Ii repealed.

The farmers are happy over the prospect
of large harvest, and turn out in a
thanksgiving spirit and celebrate.
The ball game between Leoti's first nine

well earned. The tally stood seven TO six.
The catcher for the Pence boys was an ex-
professional from Buffalo. n Y, but their
pitcher was too light for him.
Harvest has commenced in some early
wheat fields. All the small grain will
make good yield. Crops never looked
better anywhere than they do here.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June 3.-The first serious
infraction Of the law in Guthrie occurred
last night at midnight, when one or more
burglars entered tent in the north part
of the city occupied by DR.. Sebring and
Seth Clark, robbing them of their money
and infilctipg serious injury upon Sebring.
Mr. Sebring was formerly resident OF
Kingman, Kan, where he was engaged in
the livery business. He is also said to
have been proprietor of a saloon there at
one time, and Seth Clark was in his en-
ploy as bartender. The two in company
with Sebring's brother, Joseph, and one or
two others came to Guthrie April % and
located lots. Several days ago Sebring dis
posed of his lot but reserved the privilege
of occupying his tent as sleeping place.
Mr.. Clark, who occupied the tent with
him, says that he out in town until 10
O'Clock last evening and on returning to
retire found Sebring asleep. He can give
no account Of the tragedy except that he
awoke some time in the night in a half
dazed condition and heard some threat
ening remarks made and then relapsed
into an unconscious state. j. NJ. Suits,
who occupied an adjoining tent, heard
what he at first presumed was two men
quarreling. He thought, although he
could not hear the conversation, that two
acquaintance were engaged in
dispute, but soon he heard serious
threats made. A shot was fired
followed by the noise of one or more
men leaving in hurry. Mr.. Suits ran to
a neighbours house, procured lantern
and in company with several other men
went to the tent and found Sebring cover
ed with blood. He was throwing his arms
wildly about him. but was unconscious.
He had been shot in the left cheek with
small calibre pistol, the ball ranging
downward He had also received several
blows on the face and head and deep cut
on his left Leg 1t seems that he had
wrapped his money amounting to S1l5 in
his pocket handkerchief and tied it around
chief and roll of money in two, secur-
They also took $40 from Clark pockets,
which is the sole earnings for their
nights work. The city marshal has the |
other half OF the severed bills.
Mr.. Clark lay near his companion ap- |
parently asleep and was aroused with diff |
fculty. 7 he only outward evidence that |
he had been roughly handled was that his |
nose had been bleeding. He is now in the |
city Jail awaiting developments.
Considerable excitement prevails over |
the election which is to come off tomor-
row. A. V. Alexander, a prominent Kan
Bas lumberman, is Colonel Dyer's oppo
nent for mayor
Later--Word has arrived here that the |
party who assaulted and robbed Sebring |
has been arrested at Alfred with the mis- |
sing money in his possession.

MUROERERS CAPTURED.

PARIS, Tex, June 2.-Nelson and Tom
Moore, brothers, were brought in here
from the Chickasaw nation by Deputy
United States marshals and placed in the
Federal Jail yesterday, charged with the
murder of Charlie Palmer, near Emit, |.
T., on May %. The case is peculiar one,
ane to prove that the Moore's killed Pal
mer will also develope the fact that the
killed a young man named Monroe
Ramp who n,ysteriously disappeared
about year ago.
Palmer was killed while on the road
home from a mill, and the evidence cir
cumstantial, though strong, is that Tom
Moore killed him because he was assisting
in the investigation of the disappearance
OF hamn.

PATCHING UP THE ROAD.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 3-The best
information that can be obtained today at
the Pennsylvania railroad Office in this
city is that route will be patched up to
Altoona in thirty-six hours, thus giving
the 500 or more east and west bound pass
engers laid up at that place an opportun-
ity to get away from there. Between
South Fork and Johnstown 5000 men are
busy putting the road in shape.
At Johnstown and west Of there several
large gangs of workmen are employed. 1t
is not believed that passengers can be con-
veyed from Harrisburg to Pittsburg over
the main line inside of week or
ten days. AS to the transportation
of freight and mails nothing can be learn
ed. No direct intelligence of any sort has
been received from Lockhaven since 0
O'Clock Friday night The dispatch then
received noted that the lumber boom has
broken and The town was flooded The
widest kind of rumors are received in re-
gard to the situation at that place they
lack confirmation. 1t is believed, however,
that the loss of property at that place will
be enormous.
