NJ. Tisscrand has presented report
to the Paris Academy of Sciences con-
ccrning some remarkable observations
of the satclliiesof the planet Neptune,
which was discovered in lSI7. The
angle which the plane of the orbit of
this satellite made at that date with the
ccliptic was about 50 dcgs.. but this
angle has now increased by at least 9
dogs. The satellite moves around its
principal in an opposite direction y
that usually followed by other SOY
liies. so that question might he rail
whether in tho course OF timo
variation in tho inclination Of Il.
plane of its orbit might not end in iu
movement around its principal be-
coming normal. NJ. Tisscrand showed
that this variation of inclination was
duo Ia the oblatc or ilaltcncd condi-
ton of Neptune at its poles. and that
il will complete its limit within pc.
riod Of 500 years, at the end of which
time it will then be as il was in lSi7.

ELGIN. Neb., June 22.-Nick Foley,
the murder of Mrs. Pomeroy Clark, was
lynched by a mob at $50 this morning.
A deputy sheriff with one assistant ar
rived at Petersburg at $50 last night
with Foley. whom they had captured at
Burwell. Fearing the mob they left
town on foot without attracting at
tention and started for Neigh, the
county seat. going across the fields.
They stopped at farm house about
three miles east of here this morning
and went to bed. They were soon dis
covered. The mob gathered quickly
and went to the place well prepared.
The house was surrounded, but instead
of taking immediate action messengers
were sent throughout the surrounding
country to invite everybody to the lynch
ing. People soon began gathering from
every direction, coming to the scene
with their horses on the jump. By $3.50
nearly every man for miles around was
on the ground. No attempt was made
to defend Foley. and he was turned over
to the mob without struggle. A rope
was secured and he was taken to the
Neigh bridge, east of town. The moose
was placed around his neck and the
other end attached to rafter. Then
the murderer was pushed over the edge,
falling about ten feet and breaking his
neck.

SPEECHES. AND DYING.
Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes Has
Not Long to Live.

FREMONT, O.. June 22.-The resi-
dence of ex-President Hayes IN Spiegel
Grove is to-day filled with sadness.
Although the family bear their grief
well yet they show their anxiety. The
condition of Mrs. Hayes tonight is not
perceptlbly changed from last night.
She remains speeches., but rests very
quietly. Last evening several hours
after the stroke Gen. Hayes thought she
understood what he said. He asked her
if she understood him, and if she did to
press his hand, which she did with
her left hand. He also thought she
indicated in the same manner that
she was without pain. Her son. Webb,
came from Cleveland last night, and he
said she had not recognized him in any
way. If she is conscious now it is hard
guish much change from yesterday.
for the better. This afternoon she was
unable to retain any medicine. The
general said last night that during the
past winter both he and Mis-. Hayes had
enjoyed better health than for years be-
fore, and that for three or four weeks
after the New York centennial they
both felt splendid. But for the past
two weeks Mrs. Hayes had been feeling
poorly, but no serious illness was
thought of. All the children are
at home, Birchard from Toledo,
Webb from Cleveland, and Scott
from Cornell. Rude and Miss Fannie
are at home in constant attendance OH
their mother. Intimate friends of the
family entertain gravest doubts of her
recovery. A brother of Mrs. Hayes,
DR.. Joseph Webb, died from the same
trouble nine years ago, living only ten
hours after the attack. Letters and
kilograms containing tender words of
love and sympathy for the family are
being received from friends, among
them General Sherman, William Henry
Smith, John W. Heron, John Eaton.
Alonzo B. Cornell, DR.. MeCabe, Col.
Corbin, Miss Francis Willard, eX-Secre-
rary McCreary, and dozens of other
prominent people. The physicians at 9
o'clock tonight report no change in the
condition and give no word of ell
couragement.

PRINCETON, Mimi, June 22.-Sheriff
A. d. Howard has just returned from
Miozomony Point in the Mile Laos
county, having in custody Wadena. the
Indian who shot ManguSon. The arrest
was made yesterday while Wadena and
the rest of the Mile Lacs band of In
dianS were having their medicine dance.
The prisoner is accompanied by his
father, kegodocia, aged fifty years.
Wadena claims to be twenty eightye
of age, is dressed in citizens clothes,
and is a fine type of an Indian brave. He
has vicious and determined appearance
and would naturally be looked upon by
his people as a leader. He is devoid of
paint. his only ornaments being two
large feathers trimmed with red braid
attached to his hat. He talks good Eng
fish, is married, and has three chill
dren. His examination has been post
poned by his request until next Mon
day. Andrew P. Berg and Frank l..
Doigle are the witnesses now at hand.
The sheriff took from Wadena's place
52-caliber tive-shot revolver, supposed
to be the weapon used in shooting Man.
guSOn. Wadena will give no information
and says the white man must prove him
guilty. The Indians were inclined not
to give Wadena up, but we'll knew that
the officer and his posse were men OF
nerve. and after considerable counsel
ing among themselves very reluctantly
consented. The sheriff reports a very
fatigueing journey, it being sixty miles
from here to the place of capture,
over an almost impossible road. The
settlers in the vicinity of the
lake are in great fear. Many of them
are afraid of another drunken orgie,
In which case massacre may result,
as the Indians still threaten, and have
ordered off the settlers several times
since the shooting of Manguson. The
supposition is that if the reds obtain
further supply of whisky there will be
further trouble.

The very hot weather of Tuesday was
followed by good soaking rain all
night Wednesday, with considerable
drop in the temperature. and another
good rain on Thursday. The condition
of the crops has been much improved
since last week by several good rains.
From Winona to Tracy grain looks fine.
ltrarely if ever looked better than at
present. From Tracy to Goodwin there
will be a good crop. Near Hamburg
it does not look so well. but with
good weather will give fair
crop. Between Watertown and Frank
fort there ought to be a fairy
good crop, except few miles near Ray
mond. Between Doland and Groton
prospects are fairly good, and with good
weather they ought to turn out fairly
