"A Horse With Good Sense.

WILMINGTON, O., Dec. 29.-Near New
Vienna, this county, on last "Wednesday
night, fine young horse, together with a
saddle and bride, was stolen from William
Moore, farmer. Several hours after the
search had been abandoned racket was
heard at the barn and on going out Mr..
Moore was surprised to find his horse, and
hanging to him the thief The animal had
thrown the man after going quite dis
tance, and in falling the thiefs foot was
caught in the stirrup and he was thus drag
ged back the entire distance. His head,
neck and shoulders were badly cut and
bruised.
He was turned over to the Marshal of
New Vienna, who brought him here and
placed him in Jail, where he now is in a
badly bruised condition waiting for his

A Chinese Story.

1t was Just about IL moons ago that
Yong Fong Doy, laundryman of Second
avenue, New York, hit Mott street ''poh
ka peah," or policy shop, for 1.50o cold
Mclean dollars, on an investment of 81
capital, and concluded to visit his relatives
in Canton. Yong and companion put up
at first-class Chinese public house in
Hong Kong, under assumed names.
The younger of the two became the eld-
ers valet, and made the proprietor under
stand that his companion was mandarin
recently commissioned to the United
States to inspect railroads, and that he was
on his way to Pekin to report. The effect
of this was to bring the employees OF the
house upon their knees. In day or two
nearly 200 men were hired as bodyguard,
secretary and other necessary attaches
to the person of "Kwanyin" or high Off
a journey.
Yong had a wash basin made to order
in solid beaten gold. 1t took more than
half of his fortune; but it inspired conf
dence. To each of his 200 followers he
advanced a half months wages, which
means 50 apiece.
In week Yong set out in a gorgeous
sedan chair, carried upon the shoulders of
eight able bodied Cinnamon, for Pekin, in
the character of Xiii Chong Wong began
on the city of Soon Chu, in the province
of Kan 81.
The Prefect was notified by couriers
that his excellency Xiii Chong Wong the
uncle of the Emperor, would probably
need some ready cash for necessary ex-
penses, as is customary for all members
of the imperial household, who never carry
money while travelling.
The frightened "Chefoo' with force OF
gayly- clad officials, went out of the city
to meet Xiii Chong Wong, and the next
morning the "Chefoo" upon his knees,
handed to the bogus prince $50, 900 in gold
bricks, as the only available cash in the
public treasury.
The next city was Lin Kiang where the
Prefect gave up 5000. Other towns
were laid under contribution in similar
way, until one day Yong and his compan-
ions disappeared.
The discovery of the fraud was not made
until the "Chefoo" of Ly Chu called upon
the Viceroy of his Province, and the latter
telegraphed to the capital to Xiii Chong
Wong himself Of course the latter had
not left the capital for years. A big reward
is offered for the impostor's apprehension
and if caught he will receive the Ling Chi
punishment that is, he will be cut up alive
into Is pieces,

Killing Negroes in South Caro-
lima.

Just before dawn last Saturday mob of
800 masked men took possession of the
Barnwell, S. c., Jail. Eight negro prison
ers accused of murder were taken out and
shot. Prominent citizens have made an
explanation and defense of the deed. Not
withstanding this the lynching is strongly
denounced by Southern people.
Three hundred armed men, with faces
masked, surrounded the Jail just at the
darkest hour before the dawn while the in
mates were sleeping heavily. They moved
with caution and as an organized body.
The jailor was quietly seized and quickly
overpowered, his keys taken from him, the
heavy doors unlocked, and before the eight
negroes sleeping within were awakened
from their cells were filed with strange
figures
They were seized and carried out into
the night. Their cries for mercy and curses
were alike unheeded by their silent e1ecu
TONERS. The body of men was put in mo-
ton and proceeded quarter of mile, and
halted in the outskirts of 'he town, the
eight unfortunate wretches were secured,
several hundred shots were fred, and eight
lay on the earth with blood running from
hundred wounds literally torn to pieces.
Such was the scene of the terrible tragedy
enacted in the town of Barnwell on Satur-
day morning.
The most terrible retribution was for
not extraordinary offense, as the crimes
records will prove. Four years ago five
men were lynched in Yorkville for the
brutal murder of a littls boy who caught
them stealing, but they belonged to an
organized gang whose members were sworn
to kill whoever caught them stealing, and
they were believed to have committed
several murders previously. Their con-
viction was uncertain and the people took
the law in their own hands.
But the wholesale lynching of Saturday
morning is without parallel in the records
of crimes in that State, and there was less
ground for the act than probably any
lynching before. 1t is doubtful if the
country can show a like record.

To Die by Electricity.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.-Judge Dwight has
dismissed the writ of habeas corpus applied
for in the case of Kemmler, the murderer,
and remanded the prisoner to the Warden
of the State Prison. After a long dis
QUESTION upon the constitutionality of the
proposed taking OF Kemmler's life by cleo
tricity, Judge Dwight says:
"The light of the scientific evidence in
this case is sufficient as we think, to remove
every reasonable doubt, that the passage of
current of electricity of certain well de-
termined intensity through the vital parts
of the body, under chosen conditions of
contract and resistance, must result in in
slant death. If the question were of the
advisability in the change of the mode of
inficting death by capital punishment the
discussion might be prolonged. As we are
confined to the question of constitutional
ity we deem further discussion unneces-
sary. The order dismissing the writ of
habeas corpus and remanding the prisoner
must be affirmed"

A Funeral Without a Corpse.

SYRACUSE, Dec 2S.-Some days ago the
story came from Canandaigus that George
T. Reddington, a former resident of that
place, had been discovered in an insane
asylum in the West. The idea conveyed
was that he was the victim of some con-
spiracy. Information has reached here
from Syracuse, Kan, that Reddington did
go West and took up claim near Lakin,
Kearney county. He passed as single
man. Some time in June, 1887, he, with
August Shurman, VIM. F. Ringle and
Samuel Morehart, who occupied adjoining
claims, arranged to have his life insured in
different companies for about sl4, 900. The
four men were to contribute equally to the
payment of the expense, then Reddington
was to feign death, the policies were to be
collected by his co-conspirators, and the
proceeds were to be equally divided among
the four. The policies were payable to
Nettie Reddington, the mans wife.
Reddington, to guard against all coz
wrote to his mother in Canaan
daigua, n. Y, explaining the scheme, so
that when she received notice of his death,
which was 70 be telegraphed to her, she
need not be alarmed or take any steps in
regard to the disposal of the body. I'm
fortunately for him, the letter was delayed,
and the telegram reached its destination
first. 1t was answered by telegram to
have the body placed in a metallic casket
and sent East. As the burial had already
taken place, the Coroner was asked to ex-
hume the body. He found the coffin
empty. Reddington, hiding in the cellar,
had been an interested participant in his
own obsequies. His disappearance led to
an investigation and the arrest of Shurman
and Ringle. The case, however, failed, be-
cause Mrs. Reddington, the beneficiary,
could not be connected with the conspir
acy. The facts as given in the foregoing
are from statement made by Samuel
Morehart.

The Pan-American Congress.

The common estimate of the South
American delegates has undoubtedly bee n
considerably revised during the pas {
month, and is destined to be changed st ill
more in the direction Of fuller recogni-
ton Of their special fitness for the work
intrusted to than. 1t would be mistake
to suppose that they were chosen with
the slight care that seems to have been
delegation. The South American coun-
tries attended to the choice of their repre-
sentatives with great pains. They have sent
a brilliant and able body Of men. Some
of them are profound scholars and skilled
linguists; others are trained and experienc-
ed diplomats, learned jurists, experts in
finance, masters of commercial law, prac-
tised administrators, specialists in ques-
tions of international trade, or parliamen-
tarians of reputation and skill. All of
these special advantages for the work of
the Congress have been already displayed
more than once by the foreign delegates
in the preliminary debates of the Confer
ence, and are destined to be brought into
greater prominence in future sessions.
There has been a general impression
that the work of the Congress up to date
has been very unimportant, and that, in
fact, the time has been pretty much vast
ed in aimless and wordy debates. Some
Justification certainly exists for such an
idea; yet the difficulties in the way of
prompt and decisive action have been
great from the nature of the case. The
lack of common language has been awk-
ward and time-consuming, every speech
and motion having to be translated back
and forth from English to Spanish. Then
there are some sharp differences between
American and Spanish parliamentary prac-
tice, which inevitably occasions some mis-
and delays at first. Nor
is it SO slight matter to fix upon the best
rules of procedure for body of such unus-
ual composition and gathered for such un-
precedented purposes. So that it is really
quite an achievement for the Congress to
have cleared away all its preliminary work
in a month, and now to be ready for seri-
Gus consideration of the main questions to
be presented.
1t has been decided to have most of the
work done in committee. The different
subjects have been assigned to men spec
ally qualified to handle them. Careful
study of the various projects proposed is
already underway, and when the reports
Of the committees come to be presented,
and such measures as can be agreed upon
to the debate, the public may
look for able and illuminating discussions.
The secrecy in which the proceedings of
The Congress are shrouded is intended to
guard details more than results, and there
will be ample opportunity for the coun-
.ries interested to know exactly what
are being debated, and what
reasons are offered in their favor or against
hem.

THE news from Madras chat the natives
are starving to death rather than eat with
others of another caste and that they flee
to the hills from the food brought by
the English for fear of being forced to
eat in the presence of people not of their
own walk in life is the most striking in
stance furnished by modern times of a
people yielding their lives rather than give
up the faith that is III them. Such ex-
amples were abundant on the continent of
Europe during the Reformation, and pos
sibly, under similar pressure, Christian
races would show the same fortitude for
righteousness sake again.
