CONSOLIDATION.

Two years ago the FREE PRESS Print

fion of many business men and friends
in and outside the city, offered to pur-

then as we do now that it was bust
ness move which would be endorsed
by the public and approved by the pa
irons of both concerns. For reasons
best known to the proprietor of the
Register, the proposition, while liberal,
was not accepted. After it had be-
come known that MessrS. r. +. Scar

for its purchase and consolidation

this paper to give the readers of the
Register such newspaper as to cause
no regret on their part that the change
has taken place. No effort will be
spared to treat them with fairness,

THE EARNESTS IN JAIL.
Captured in Their Mountain Cave
Threats of Lynching Them.

Captured in Their Mountain Cave -
Threats of Lynching Them.
NUmDIA, Pa, Aug. A-The Earnest
brothers, fugitives from justice who have
terrorized the people of this valley for the
past two weeks, were captured at their
mountain cave two miles from here after
a battle with an officer and several citi-
zens.
These desparadoes beat a brother and
stabbed a bystander for interfering, and
afterward shot and wounded three of
their pursuers. They would have added
another to their crimes had they not been
Overmatched.
When Officer Peeler and seven deputies,
accompanied by Detective John Griffin,
bounced upon the outlaws after a chase
of ten days, the Earnests drew their re-
volvers, but one Of the men knocked the
weapons from Johns hand and with Il club
struck down the other.
A desperate hand hand fight followed,
during which the brothers fought bravely.
John managed to tear away and started
for the cave, II short distance away. He
was overtaken and securely bound, and
with his brother was taken to Elysburg,
whence they were brought to this place in
a wagon followed by an angry mob cry
ing, LET us hang the scoundrels; no need

The full police force and number of
citizens were stationed around the Jail to
protect the prisoners. The mob sur
rounded the building and it was with
difficulty that they were kept back.
Late the prisoners were removed to the
county Jail to await the result of their
victims injuries, both still being In a pre-
carious condition, with little hope of re-

Women With Tear-Stained Faces Keep
Their Eyes on the Rescuers.
New York, Aug. 24.-By 8 o'clock at
least :, 900 people We're assembled at the
ends of the block at Cottage place and
Greenwich street, and as the day wore on
their number increased rapidly. Finally
the pressure became so great that the
police found themselves unable to keep the
throng in check, and by order of Inspector
Williams ropes were stretched across the
street. Even this eXpedient failed in its
purpose, for one of the ropes was cut and
after awhile they were replaced by stout
telegraph wires, against which the crowds
surged in vain. 1t was noticeable that
the throng was composed of in the main
of morbidly curious persons They could
see literally nothing except the great gap
on the south side of the street and an Oc-
casional figure of a fireman looming up
through the smoke, yet hour after hour
they stood patiently in the boiling sun
light, bound by fearful fascination.
Here and there in the front ranks might
be picked out anxious face that gazed
fiXedly ut the wreck, knowing full well
that some loved one lay beneath it, but
those were few. A number of vendors of
lemonade, fruit and ice water took adj
vantage of the opportunity to erect stands
on the shady side of Park place, above Col
lege place, and they were literally patron
lied.
Within the police lines a still more
singular crowd was assembled. All who
were fortunate enough to own an estab-
Hshment or be employed upon the block
We're there to see the fearful show Many
of them brought their sister and wives
and provided them with seats beneath
awningsSnd at windows where they could
have the best possible view of the scene of

the bodies.
There were other women there, too
women with tear-stained faces and CULVER
ing lips, who kept their eyes fixed on the
rescuers and burst into frantic weeping as
body after body was brought out in the
awfu! dread that it might be that of some
dearly loved one. Mothers watched thus
for sons and wives for husbands, and side
by side with them there smiled women

1t is really miracle that any one in
the building escaped alive, for within ten
minutes from the time of the collapse
the whole ruin was q roaring mass

fierce and stubborn, and the firemen were

flames from spreading to adjoining prop

Several Shots Fired Into His Breast and

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Aug. 24.-Charles
Hawkins, a noted desperate, shot and
fatally wounded City Marshal Dan Bruce,
yesterday afternoon, and at midnight a
mob took Hawkins from the Jail and
hanged him.
Hawkins had been drinking and was
having a quarrel on South Harrison
street with a man named Chambers,
when Bruce came upon the scene and re-
! quested them to cease their disturbance,
whereupon Hawkins retorted that he
would do as he pleased. Bruce was then
about six foot away and, stepping a pace
toward Hawkins, told him he must be
quiet or he would be compelled to arrest
/ him.
/ Hawkins then fired three shots in sue
cession at Bruce, each bullet taking
/ effect in the right breast. Hawkins was
soon afterwards placed under arrest. At
/ midnight, when Bruce was reported to be
dying, 500 armed men marched to the
Jail, and after having bound and gagged
the sheriff, began the search for the muir
/ derer. He was in a rear cell, and when
( the mob reached that portion Of the Jail,
/ Hawkins was seen covering in the rear
/ of the cell The door was quickly opened,
and despite the terrified wretch's appeal
for mercy, or for time to pray, he was
tied hand and foot, a rope placed around
| his neck, and in a moment the men were
/ tearing out of the Jail with their bowling
/ victim trailing after them on the ground.
The Victim Tried to PRAY,
4 About twenty feet from the Jail door a
tree was found, and a rope was thrown
over limb. Fifty men seized hold of
the end, while the prisoner fell on his
knees and tried to pray.
care you ready?'' asked leader of the
mob. The answer was yell
Cup with him then,' and with another
yell Of rage the fifty men gave rush and
Hawkins body was twenty feet from the
ground. No sooner had he been pulled
up than volley of shots from rifles and
revolvers rang out on the night air and
the murderer's struggles were over. The
mob then quietly dispersed.
1t is said that Hawkins deed was pre-
meditated. A week ago the marshal ar
rested Hawkins 12-year-ol son. who had
been throwing stones through some plate
glass windows, and Hawkins told Redin
Dorm that he came to the city prepared
to get even with Bruce. He had sought
trouble with several persons, but all were
afraid of him and avoided him.

Over $50 Killed.

PARIS Aug. 24-The full extent of last
weeks calamity at Martinique, cannot
yet be determined. No place on the
island so far heard from has escaped with
out serious damage. 1t is impossible as
yet to give any estimate of the money
value of the damage to crops, forests,
houses and shipping. Neither can it yet
be told how many people persisted.
Friday the death roll at 21S and now it
is known that $50 met instant doom. 1t
is not at all improbable that more accu-
rate reports will add still more names to
the list of the dead. No attempt has
been made to ascertain the number of
those who were injured by falling walls
and flying debris, but the probability is
that thousands received injuries more or
less serious.
