Almost a nynehins.

BONNEVILLE, Mo-, June 15.-sherif
Cranmere, who was shot yesterday by
william West, prisoner in the county
jail, died to-day. Just before
his death q mob, composed OF en-
ragged farmers from all over the county
gathered around the jail to take the
prisoner and lynch him. The dying
sherif heard the threats and asked those
around his bedside to tell the mob that 1t
was his dying request that they
commit no overt act, but allow
the law to take its course.
When the sheriff's death was an
nounced the mob became ugly, but when
the sheriff 3 dying request was made
known, better counsel prevailed, and
the crowd quietly dispersed. The jail ia
kept strongly guarded, nevertheless.

Brief Sunday Sessions at st. Louis-students
for Missionary Work.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June l5.-The ses-
sions of the convention of Christian en-
deavor societies were necessarily brief to-
day SO as not to interfere with the regu-
lar church services, and consisted of ad-
dresses and religious exercises. In the
morning Rev. j. H. Halbert addressed
them in plain and practical talk. The
speaker drew q fine distinction between
denominationalism and seotarianism =,
and defended the one, while he scored
the other with impartiality. Following
the address was halt hour of prayer and
then adjournment, to allow the delegates
to attend the different church services of
the morning and at the afternoon
session, after the regular devotional SER
vices, President Clark introduced Rev.
L. s. Green of Boston, who addressed
the convention on the subject of the
Sunday school. MIR. R. P. Wilder then
spoke on the missionary movement, and
made an urgent appeal for the aid of the
Christian endeavor society in fitting
students for missionary work.
At the conclusion of the address
eleven students from Eastern
colleges who have promised to devote
their lives to missionary work, and seven
missionaries now in the field, were con-
Quoted to the platform where they sang
hymns and repeated in unison number
of scriptural passages. Rev. W. a. G.
Temple of Boston then spoke on
the temperance question and
made strong appeal to both men and
women to help in the move
ment and close the doors of the saloon. He
enlogized the temperance committee of
Christian endeavor. and urged every
lover of society to take the total abstin-
enee pledge.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 14.-At thu
Lexington court F Caughman and Pearse
G.. Taylor, indicted for lynehinE Willie
Leappart while in jail, were acquitted.
The defense put up no witnesses, and the
solicitor pleaded that this was intended
to force the jury to stnltify themselves,
and that If the prisoners were sworn they
would not deny being implicated IN the
lynehing. The verdict seems to be APP
proved by the people OF Lexington.
Many ladies were present during the
trial, and congratulated Canghman on

and Those Underneath. E,

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 15.-ThaS
was a serious accident this svspsa at
Beyly park summer resort in tIss6uth-
ern part of this city. At 4Sast 5000
people had assembled to see a man
jump from a cable stretched
across miniature artificial
lake. The people stood all around the
lake and hundred or more were on
rustic foot bridge about ten feet above
the ground, and extending from the
bluff out across the lake. The
jumper made the descent at aboutS
$50 O'Clock. He struck the waffP
near the shore, and the people on the
bridge made a rush for the place.
Nearly all of them. were msssed on q
thirty five foot span adjoining the bluff.
The structure fell with a crash, going
down in the middle. The footpaths I'M
der the bridge were crowded with
people, and upon these the timbers fell !,
while those on the bridge was thrown in
a heap in the center of the span where it
struck the ground. At least twenty five
were injured, more or less seriously, but
only eight were hurt SO badly that they
had to go to the hospital.
This following is the list of seriously in
jured: James Sanford, right leg frao-
tured and Internal injuries, probablSi
fatal; Rudolph Woodrick, right leg
fractured and head bruised; Mrs. Ru-
dolph Woodrick, spine and shoulder
hurt; Jesse Caldwell, ankle frac-
tured and arm badly injured; Bertha
Munter, right hip fractured and inter
nal injuries; Anna Thoman. right ankle
broken; Marie Thomau, back and head

The city council meets at O. clock
this afternoon to go into the case of City
Engineer Kane. The counsel for the
city and for Mr.. Kane have prepared
their cases with much care, and it is
likely there will be large number of
citizens present to hear the trial this
afternoon.
A gentleman last night commented
upon recent change in western carrying
trade that rebounds to Fort Worth g ad-
vantage. During the last few weeks 500
tons of pig iron have been transported
from Tennessee to Colorado through Fort
Worth, coming here from Cairo over the
Cotton Belt and to Colorado over the
Panhandle road.
On the streets may be heard discus
sions of all kinds as to the next Spring
Palace. 1t is generally thought that
when the building is rebuilt it should be
much larger, grander and more substan-
tial than the old one, and many think
that it should contemplate the exhibition
of all kinds of Texas productions whether
agricultural, Industrial or livestock.

ess has already been demonstrated, it is
probable this fight will be bruissr.

To Discus. the bulgarian Question.

Berlin, June 1.-THE semi-official
announcement in the North German Ga
zette that Chancellor Won Caprivi will
accompany the Emperor William on his
visit TO the czar, converts the meeting
of the sovereigns from an ex-
change of imperial courtesies into
e diplomatic event. Her Won
SehweinitZ, German ambassador to
Russia, arrives here from st. Petersburg
tomorrow IN connection with the inter-
view whion mas been fixed for the 2nd
of August. The Emperor William will
remain with the car three days prior
to the visit. Signor Crispi, italian pre-
mier, is expected here for a conference
with Gen. Won Capriyi. He will see Count
Kslnoski, Austro. hungarian premier !,
en- route to Berlin. These movements
have dlstsnet relation to the renewal of
negotiations for the settlement OF the
Bulgarian question. This time the me-
gotiations were Initiated at st. Peters
burg. The Russian government persists
in refusing to recognize Prince Ferii-
nand, but offers to recognize Stambuloff,
Bulgarian premier. The government
after the departure of Prince Ferdinand
will send Russian commissioner to
Sofia to offer the people as alternative
candidates for the throne the duke of
Leuchtenburg, or Prince Karl, son Of
the king of Sweden. The duke of Leuch-
tenberg having married Monte

sembled this afternoon at the fair grounds to
witness the balloon ascension and the walking

Dan o. Leary. the noted pedestrian. The first
walking match was one mile, heel and
toe, between printers, for which f. n. Leather
man, F. G. McMurray, Ed McMurray, James
Floor and j. r. Murphy entered. The race was
very closely contested and was won by James
Floor, who made the mile in ten minutes.

against a trotting horse. 0'Leary was
to walk three quarters of mile while the horse

Ri,mnrol, 10 Stand for the F,eichstag.

Bismarck to Stand for the Eeichstag.
BERLIN, June IA deputation of
Conservatives from the fourth district of
Potsdam, which is now unrepresented in
the Reichstag on account of the death of
Herr Wodell Malchow, went to Fred
richsruhe yesterday to ask Prince Bis
marck to accept the candidature. He
promised to give the proposal his favora-
BILE consideration and this is taken to mean
that he viii stand. Members of the
reichstag foresee that the princes pres
ence will produces the grouping of a new
party under his lead, composed of old
national Liberals and a small section of
the moderate Freissignne party. This
group Will prominently represent the
smaller land owners, manufacturers and
bankers, who are the opponents of pre-
Socialist policy, and is certain to secure
the support of a number of Centrists,
thus forming strong combination.
The reports to the effect that the en-
peTor il becoming more enraged over the
revelations made by Prince Bismarck In
interviews are laughed over in the
princess circle. Prince Bismarck g
studiously unstudied condolences have
already assisted the foreign office to
a clear view of the tendencies
of foreign opinion and have
also helped to harmonic Caprivi's
relations with several foreign ministers.
1t is now perceived that his seeming
frankness reveals little and cannot en-
barrass the government.

LONDON, June 15.-As IL TO put
at rest all rumors of increasing friction
between German and Russian courts.
Emperor William has sent special re-
quest to the car to be allowed to COM
mand in person during the Russian
maneuvers of the Tiborg regiment, of
which the emperor is honorary colonel.
whateYer the actual and secret foreign
policy OF Germany may be, the emperor
certainly gives every outward Indication
of desiring friendliness with France,
Russia and all his other neigh
bors. Persons who interest them
selves in studying the probability
OF European peace or war are looking
with considerable eagerness for some ut
terance on the part of Germany apropos
of the Austro- Hungarian war ministers
recent declaration that peace was not
assured. Standing alone, Field Mar
shall Van Bauer's declaration is serious,
but not so conclusive as to create actual
alarm. Continued silence on the part of
other members of the dreibund would,
however, be generally considered as Civ
ing tacit consent to Minister Won Bauer's
gloomy view of the situation.
LONDON POLICE INDIGNANT.
The feeling Of Indignation on the part
OF London police at their treatment by
the government hourly increases. The
latest and by no means least cause of irri-
tation, IS cutting down by Home Score
tary Matthews of bills for expenses and
over time of the men. What the score
taTy's object is in harrassing the force
can only be conjecured.
1t is believed by many that the intHn-
tion Of the government is
TO provoke q general strike; and
thus obtain an excuse for getting
II of large number of the rank and
file, and filling their places with men
who can be more absolutely depended
upon than the present force to implicitly
do the work of the government OIL such
occasions as the Trafalgar square meet
ings or tho recent temperance parade,
should need arise in the future. The
men have nearly reached the striking
point, but have decided to await publi-
cation of the approximation bill before
taking final action.
PosTNiEN CONTEMPLATING A STRIKE.
Postmen, who are as much at odds
with Postmaster General Raikes as the
police are with Home Secretary Mat

to-day, the outcome of which has not
been made known, though 1T was ex-
peoted that final decision on the question
of a strike was to be reached to-day. 1t
is generally believed that the postmen are
hurting their cause by allowing such
irreconciliables as Cunningham, Graham
and Charles A. n. Couybeare to make
political capital out of their grievances.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
THE REFORM SCHOOL ESTIMATES

THE REFORM SCHOOL ESTIMATES.
The Commissioners have received a letter
from Mr.. A. ]. Falls, president Of the Reform
School of the District of Columbia, in which he
calls attention to the fact that certain
estimates submitted to Congress have
been left out of the appropriation bill and
earnestly requests that the Commissioners take
such steps may be necessary TO have the esti-
mates inserted in the bill, as 1t is now pending
in the House. The estimate of $500 for a
boiler house of brick, he says is most necessary,
and that another boiler for steam heating, at a
cost of 81 800, is also necessary, for in case
of accident unless this boiler was provided for
the school would be without heat. He says In
conclusion that the appropriations asked for
the school are very moderate and are of the
most necessary character, and the board of
trustees hope that the Commissioners will take
such steps as will have them provided for.

AN INTERRUPTION.
A Washington Clergyman Creates q
Scene I'm Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, April 29-At the session of the
Baltimore conference Of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church today Rev. DR.. G. W. Mosell
OF Washington interrupted Rev. DIR. William
b. Derrick, the general secretary of the
missionary society, to say: You picture
the foreign fields in such fine condition, how
do you explain the letter Of Missionary John r.
Frederick of Africa and the other published
statements OF Bishop Tanner on "A Crisis in
Foreign Fields"
Rev. DR.. Derrick replied: 'Bishop Tanner is
able to answer the latter question. lwant 1t
understood that have acted here with all gen.
tility and refinement, and expect the same.
pray the Lord to keep me from getting angry.
Missionary Frederick tried to do too
much. He was engaged to take charge of a
church in Africa for $500 year. He tried to
Guido Bishop William Taylor Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. He padded out and got
stranded" DR.. Mosell here again interrupted
and was repeatedly asked by Bishop Tanner to
sit down.
Refusing to sit down Bishop Tanper said:
when the conference sees that the chair has
done what it could to preserve order the con-
ference will come to its relief"
Rev. DR.. James III. Handy moved that Dr.
Mosell be suspended.
Rev. W. r. Arnold suggested this modifca-
ton: That DIR. Mosell be required Ito keep his
mouth shut" until DIR. Derrick finished his ad-
dress.
Bishop Tanner admonished DR.. Mosell, but
the latter soon forgot all about the admonitlon,
and again interrupting DIR. Derrick, the con-
ference unanimously adopted motion dIsap-
proving of the conduct of DIR. Mosel. The re-
port on foreign missions was then adopted.
