Did not Mani Hum Lynched.

BONNEVILLE, Mo, June l7.-Sheriff
Thomas G. Cram, who was shot yesterday
by William E. West, died this morning
at 6 O'Clock. He was conscious up to the
moment of his death and talked freely to
his attorney about business matters and
recited clearly the full details Of the IN
fortunate shooting. West, the prisoner
who did the shooting and then escaped,
was subsequently recaptured. An excited
crowd had surrounded the jail determined
on lynching him. The diving mar was in
formed of the lynching party and sent
word as his dying request that the law be
allowed to take its course. The people
almost to a man are still clamoring for
Vests blood, and West has made a state,
ment in which he has confessed that he
murdered Cram, and SAID that the
pistol was given him by one William
Hensly, OF Sedalia. and was handed
through,the south window ofthe jail.

DUNBAR, Pa, June l7.-All night
long the rescuing parties renamed at the
mouth of the manhole at the Farm Hill
mine. but their efforts were fruitless.
When daylight broke they we're no nearer
the unfortunate men entombed In the
burning mine. All hopes OF rescuing the
imprisoned miners alive have been aband-
oned. The efforts made to enter the
burning slope through the Mshoney and
Ferguson mines were found impossible.
Men could not get through the former
owing to the formation of the slope, and
in the Ferguson pit the air was so bad
that it was impossible to travel any dis.
lance. 1t has been determined to cut of
all fresh air aud let the mine burn itself
out so that the bodies of the men may be
recovered. AT 10 o'clock this morning
there was very little change, except that
the fire was fiercer and the smoke blacker.
The despair of the survivors is deeper
than ever before. The early gray of the
morning only found the r~escuing party
driven farther back from the death cham.

night.
Early this morning Martin Marley, pit
boss OF another niue, made a daring at
tempt to reach the right 6rifings of the
Farm mine from the Mahoney entrance,
one and one-half miles across the hills.
He crawled over the drifts and fallen slate
to within 100 yards of the fatal chambers
and sounded again and again, and listened
for a response in vain. The sight about
the pits mouth is all the more pltiable,
because of the twenty four hours an
guish that has rolled over the heads of
the relatives and friends. Hundreds
stand steadily at the mouth gazing at the
columns of smoke that grow thicker hour

instead of timber and roofing, The mine
inspector is making ~renuo efforts tc

fan to furnish ventilation to the mine will
be put In operation this afternoon in the
Ferguson pit, as work also will be com

New YORK. juno 1.-THE stock
market was intensely dull today. The
only real feature in the market was the
weakness in Oregon Transcontinental,
owing to the disfavor with which the cir
cular to stockholders had been received.
Friends of the management, however,
say the sentiment will not be far-reaching,
and as the merits of the scheme become
known the stock will again appreciate in
value. The opening was lower in sympa-
thy with London, and until the last hour
was slow, but on tie steady yielding of
values the shorts went into cover late in
the day and the reports of progress in
making the silver bill helped the advance.
There are fractional loses for the day in a

Edmunds is going to do with the Repub-
lican platform, and intimated that Ed
munds does not represent the Republican
party
Ejmunds replied that be stands by the
Republican party platform, but that the
Democrats and their deluded followers
nave abandoned that platform and trans
formed that into one which no Democratic
convention ever dared propose, because
they knew the people of the United States
would swiftly find out they had been de-
luded and misled, and when the break
comes it is not the poor or the debtor who
will have p%roited, but the very people

ing against so strongly will have made all

Vest called Edmunds' attention to the
fact that the Democratic house in 1877
passed q free coinage act which, he said.
was mutilsted by a Republican senate.
After a long discussion it was modified
at the suggestion of Eustis by adding the
words: And all silver certificates already
issued" and as so modified it was agreed
to-yeas "a, nays %.
Plumb moved to insert the following
as an additional section: Owners of
bullion deposited for coinage shall have
the option to receive coin or its eqpiva-
lent in certificates provided for in this act,
and such bullion shall be subsequently
coined. Agreed to without division.
The bill was then reported to the SEN

Chandler moved TO insert the following
amendments: No gold or silver bullion
shall be received BY the treasury depart
ment under this act, except such as shall
be shown to be the product of mines with

Teller moved to lay the amendment on
the table. Agreed to-yeas AZ, nays IS.
The bill, as amended, then passed

The title of the bill was amended so as
to read: An act to provide for the free
colnag of gold and silver bullion and for
other purposes.
The bill for the admission of Wyoming
was taken up so as to make it unfinished
business, and the senate adjourned.

LONDON. June 1.-THE attempt of the
London Times and the Standard to
arouse a hostile feeling toward the United
States on the seal fishery question is only
adding to the disgust and alarm with
which public opinion in England regards
the recent course of the tory government.
The landed aristocracy, who form the
backbone of English conservatism, would
not object to an American war. and the
farmers who pay rent to the aristocracy
would be benefited by the exclusion of
American meat and produce. These
only could derive much advantage from a
struggle that would close British ports to
the United States. The interests of the
active moneyed and of the industrial
classes are all bound up with peace. The
annual income from British capital in
vested in the United States is considera-
bly, in excess of 500. 600. 900. Besides,
there are vast commercial interests that
would be paralyzed by a commercial war,
aud the awful distress in Lancashire con-
sequent on the lack of cotton for manu-
featuring purposes during the AnencIn
civil war would not compare with the mis-
cry that might now follow an embargo on
American raw material for British manu-
features. Then, most important of all,
the absence OF American food products
would mean untold distress for the work.
