READY FOR A LYNCHING.
AN INDIANA FoRGER PROVES TO
BE ALSO A RAVISHER.

His Victim Identifies Him in jail
Full of Prisoners-Her Father Drew
a Pistol to Shoot Him, but Was Pre-
vented-A hob Expected at Mid
night.
CHICAGO, Dec. GA special from Brazil,
Ind. says: "James Dahlgren, a prisoner
in the jail here charged with forgery. had
a narrow escape yesterday afternoon from
being shot by the angry father of a girl he
assaulted some weeks ago, and tonight
extra guards are on duty at the prison,
fears being entertained that a lynching
party is on foot. During the past two months
and a half seventeen criminal assaults
have been attempted or committed in the
neighborhood of Coal City. Several of
these crimes have been kept secret by the
parents or other relatives of the women
and girls interested, all parties being de-
sirous of concealing the facts.
THE ASSAULT ON MISS WARNER.
''About three weeks ago Miss Clara War
ner, daughter of respectable parents, was
on her way home one evening from visit
to neighbor, when she was assaulted by a
stranger, who stihed her cries until he had
accomplished his purpose. The unfortunate
girl was making her way home in an ex-
hausted and half delirious condition. when
she encountered friend of her father, to
whom she told enough to disclose the truth.
A FATHERS FURY.
NMr, Warner, on learning the facts,
swore to have the scoundrei's life if he
could be found. The girl gave a toleraoly
clear description of her assailant, and when
Dahlgren was arrested for forgery and
Lodi in foil cha ha
was the brute who had attacked her. She
communicated her suspicion to Mr.. Warner,
who at once determined TO come here with
his daughter aud see the imprisoned forger.
LYNcHING PROMISED.
,eThe story of Miss Warner suspicion got
abroad in Coal City, and before she and her
father left yesterday morning they were
assured that should Dahlgren prove to be
the man he had le than twenty-four hours
of life before him. Mr.. and Miss Warner
arrived in Brazil shortly after noon and
went to the jail. The sheriff was informed
of their object, and took them through the
prison. Miss Warner closely scanned the
faces of the prisoners.
DAHLGREN IDENTIFIED.
''The moment she set her eyes on Dahl
gren, she cried: That's che man, father !;
take ME away Mr.. Warner instantly
drew revolver, and was about to level it
at the scoundrel, when the sheriff seized his
arm, and led the furious man outside. He
and his daughter went home on the next
train, but the news that Dah'gren had
been recognized by Miss Warner soon
spread through the town, and a universal
demand for Dahlgren's life was soon made.
COAL CITY LYNcHERs.
Sword has come from Coal City that the
people there are also organized and may be
expected to reach here at midnight. The
sheriff, however, has taken every possible
precaution, placing extra guards around
the prison, and declares his determination
to protect the prisoner from mob vio-

A MOTHaR-IN-LAw WIFE.
The Sudden Check Put Upon a Matri-
monial Contract In Maine.


monial Contract In Maine.
EAsTPoRT, Me-. Dec 23.-The novel pro-
ceeding of man marrying his mother-in-
law would have taken place in this town on
Christmas day had not Town Clerk Byram
bethought himself to look up the law, and
as it was he barely had time to prevenC the
completion OF the illegal matrimonial con
tract.
John Doughty, the intended bridegroom,
is a widower, and his deceased wife's mother,
Mrs. Mary Spatford, has been keeping house
for him. Doughty and the widow deter
mined to marry. They got license from
Clerk Byram, to whom they were perso l.
ally unknown, and invited all their friends
to come to the wedding.
The story of the novel engagement got
out, and on Christmas evening it reached
the town clerks ears. He looked up the
Revised Statutes Of Maine on the subject of
marriage and saw that a man could not
legally marry the mother Of his deceased
wife, He hastened to the house OF Doughty
and found a clergyman and several guests
present. He called the minister and the
couple aside and forbade them to pro-
ceed on pain Of prosecution.
Mrs. SpafR )rd was in tears, and both she
and her son-in-law said they were ignorant
of the law preventing them from getting
married. The clergyman notified the
guests that the wedding would not take
place, and they all went home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The following
telegram was received this morning by Mr..

Barboza, minister Of finance:
Brasiifdn Minister. Washington: We see
that the European press continues to accept
false rumors as the basis for accusations against
us. The property belonging 10 the imDeriai

trary, deere, has guaranteed to allow to the
Imperial family teri of two years within

Mr.. Valenta said that the government
had taken great precauti IN to insure the
safety OF everything bel ,nging to the i'm

been taken of their possessions. and these
effects had been zealousLY guarded, aud

Both the minister and Capt. Maurity,
delegate to the maritime congress. who was
present when the Associated Press reporter
called to see the minister, declared their
| Arm belief that the republic was assured
beyond question. The reports of trouble,
they said. were all Matched up In Lisbon by

THE NATURALIZATION DECREE.
With regard TO tho reports that German

ernmsnts for protection against the decres
Of the provisional government. Mr.. V .lelta

Issued declared all foreigners resi-
dent within the country at the tims
the republic was proclaimed to be citizens
Of Brazil ulless they should prefer TO cou-
tinue thsir allegiance to their native coun-
try. There was nothing compulsory about
IL. The government supposed it was con-
ferring a favor, and those who did not
desire to accept IL were free TO follow their
own inclinations.
