A Colored Man Lynched.

The city of Bristol, Va, wasintensely
excited by a lynching that occurred
at that place at one o'clock last Sun
dav afternoon. A horrible outrage
was committed on the person OF Mrs.
John Warren, IL respectable white
lady, the Sunday morning previous.
Officers and detectives worked dill
gently, trying with all their power to
apprehend the guilty wretch. tues
day night Bob Clark, colored man,
twenty years old, was arrested on
suspicion Saturday and his trial
came off before Mayor RAIDER, of Brls-
tol. Va. The evidence was very dam
aging. He was bound over TO court
Sunday and sent back to Jail Inc
great crowd that attended the trial
had no idea of dispensing, and soon
the news spread all over the city that
Clark would be lynched before noon.
In an hour hundreds of people, all
colors. ages and races, gathered
around the jail. Prominent men of
the city made speeches loud and
long, begging the excited people to
disperse and let the law take Its
course, but they were Missed down.
At last one man obtained an axe
and told the crowd to follow. The
Jail door was broken down and a
stream of angry men filled the Jail.
The negro was brought out amid
shouts and cheers. BY this time over
three thousand men assembled, and
as soon as the leaders had started to
the woods it seemed as if the whole
population of Bristol was i'll pursuit.
The excited crowd carried him to
Lindsey's Grove, IL mile from town,
and swung him to limb of the near
est tree. His body fell once or twice,
but was finally secured. 1t hung for
four hours, when it was cut down by
the coroner's jury While the lynch
ing was going on n negro said if their
color had stuck together the man
would not have died. Immediately
three or four pistols were thrown III
his face, and it was with difficulty
that the crowd was prevented from
lynching him. The negro Clark was
a desperate, having served term IN
the Tennessee and also the Virginia
Denitentiary

Fighting in an Engine Cab.

A thrilling encounter took place
last Saturday afternoon on board an
engine on the Lake Erie, Alliance,
and Southern Railroad between the
fireman and engineer. Edward Ben
itz. the engineer, and James Nc
Swigan, the fireman, were both can
didates for the hand of Miss Julia
Spieler, q pretty brunette, who re
sides with her parents at Bergolz, the
southern terminus of the road. Both
men were aware of the others inten-
tions, but never discussed the matter
on their runs, and were known TO be
on good terms. They left Bergholz
Saturday afternoon at 3.2O with a
mixed passenger and freight tram.
When within twenty minutes OF Al
lance, McSwigan told Benitz that he
had proposed to Julia and had been
accepted. This enraged the engineer,
and, releasing his hold on the throttle,
he sprang upon his rival and terrible
battle, ensued. The train was then
running at rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, and sped on as the two men
fought. McSwigan grabbed shovel
to defend himself, but the engineer
wrested it from his grasp and soon
had him upon his back on the tender
pummeling him fearfully. A brake
man standing on top of a box car
witnessed the encounter and summon
ing aid rushed forward and separated
the combatants. The train in the
meantime had not slackened its speed,
and the passengers were unaware OF
the scene that was occurring on the
engine. On promise that the matter
would not be reported both men re-
sumed their posts. One of the brake
men remained on the cab during the
remainder of the journey to see that
the battle was not resumed. But
both men evidently were willing to
let the matter drop.

A Dreadful Double Tragedy.
dispatch from Alexandria.

A dispatch from Alexandria, Va,
dated June nth, says: Rev. Frank d.
Lee. son of the late Cassius +. Lee, re-
siding i'm the vicinity of the Theologi-
cal Seminary in Fairfax county, i'll a
spell of temporary alteration OF mind,
Sunday put an end to the life of his
only son, aged nine years, to whom
he was devotedly attached, and then
committed suicide with pistol. The
deed was not discovered until about
noon OH Monday when suspicion hav-
ing been excited, the house, which
was securely fastened from within,
was broken open and the two bodies
found lying upon bed In such man
ner as TO develop the facts given.
A revolver, out OF which two shots
had been fired, and two bottles OF
chloroform, from which considerable
amount had been taken, were also
found in the room. 1t Is believed that
he first chloroformed his little son
and then shot himself. No cause but
insanity is suggested for the terrible
deed. Mr.. Lee was man OF superior
ability and cultivation, was grad
uate of the University OF Virginia and
of the Theological Seminary, and for
several wears exercised acceptabIy his
ministry in the Episcopal Church.
He was subsequently compelled to
give il up on account of ill health, and
Since 1856 has been living i'll retire
ment on Seminary Hill. He was a
great-grandson of Richard Henry Lee,
of revolutionary fame, and married
Miss Annie Taylor, the daughter of
Mr. II. Allen Taylor. Mr.. Lee was
about thirty-eight years of age.
Shortly after his marriage, about
ten wears ago, Mr.. Lee was given
charge in South Carolina and subse-
uuentlv had charge of u church near
Harrisonburg, Va. Several years ago
Mr.. Lee led his friends TO the belief
that his mind was not altogether right
by his peculiar eccentrlcltles. by de
grees his strange conduct assumed the
form of aversion TO human society,
bv indifference TO his wife and two
children. Two years ago he aban-
doned his family and went 70 live III
the country near Fairfax, Va, in com
narrative isolation and want. About
four months ago he took his little son,
and, despite all the protests OF his
wife, refused to give him up. a month
ago Mrs. Lee instituted suit III the
Alexandria court for Il divorce, and at
the same time asked the court to pass
an order, pending the decision OF the
question. to give her the custody of
her son. The order was passed a
week ago by the court, and it is sup
posed that the father, becoming
aware of the order, killed his son.

Merit Measured by Success.

The wonderful popularity Of Swift's
Specific IS. s. S. is the natural result
of tie tests TO which the public has
put it. Tic merits of the medicine
have remained TIE same, but the
knowledge of the people with respect
to its remarkable curative properties
has increased until now there is a de-
mand for it wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken. s. S. S. was first
offered as a specific for contagious
blood poison. For that it was, and is,
truly specific. But it is now re-
garded, wherever its virtues are
known, as a true specific for all forms
of blood disease Whole columns
could be filled with testimonials to
this effect.

A Baby Without Eyes.

A baby without eyes, says the New
York Herald, was born some days ago
at No. 22S Stanton street. The father
is Adolph Zucher, journeyman tailor.
In the little red head, hardly bigger
than teacup, are three Sits, one for
the mouth, which was open. the two
others, about half an inch long, for
the eyes. The mother speaks not
word of English. She said that this
was her first child She could notim-
agine what had caused the babes mis-
fortune Later. at the Thirteenth
Street Infirmary, Surgeon Weir. who
had examined eyeless little Max Zuch-
er, said: 1T is a remarkable case, not
quite, but almost so. In many thou
sands of diseases Of the eye which |
have treated / have never met with
such case. Eve. the books record
but few instances where tie eyes ere
absent at birth. The child sho~s no
trace of left eyeball, while the right
socket contains only small stump"
The surgeon added that the child
could never see. The body appeared
to be properly formed. The head is
well shaped. He doubted that the
o,tic nerves were intact. I'VE some
times" ne continued, have babies
born without tue aural passage, or
with a membrane covering it up.
Cases are recorded where the nosc -
closed up, but never, l believe, the
mouth"

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it u local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re
uuires constitutional treatment. Halls

A HALT WILL BE CALLED.

There are indications that the fight
against the monstrous pension evil is
bearing good fruit. The pensioners
have ruled with rod Of iron for
long time, and doubtless could have
maintained their pull on the Treasury
for vet many years had not they over
reached themselves by their own
greed and Disguised the whole coun-
try by their selfishness. But the limit
has been finally reached, and now the
reaction must come.
The draft on the Treasury made
June 4th to meet pensions was S26, 0OO,-
600, and only $4,000, 900 had been de-
posted in the banks or sub-treasuries
to meet it. There will be left as
cash balance when the payments are
made, according to present figures,
only So, 927 ,926 This is getting dan
gerously near bankruptcy, and only
expert Juggling can keep govern
ment deficit from being exposed.
The pensions amount to about
$3.50, 100000 a year. 1t is safe to say
that one-third of this money is paid
to persons who do not deserve 1t or
is wasted in other ways. This seems
like large proportion, but we be
lieve it near the truth when the
matter shall be sifted with fearless
ness, intelligence and integrity.
General Forney, Member Of Congress
from Alabama, thinks that at least
$50, ZOO, 900 is wasted, and he says that
Congress will probably take action
looking to careful revision OF the
pension list. The first thing need
ed" says General Forney, is a proper
man at the head of the Pension or
flee. The next necessary step is Con-
gressional action. Congress ought to
pass a law creating courts of review
for every doubtful case, and their de-
cision ought to he final. Back and
beyond this should be the work OF the
Medical Examining Board. To these
boards should be given the names
and addresses of every pensioner
within their jurisdistion. These pen
sioners should be summoned before
them. 1t would not be necessary to
examine men whose disabilities are
manifest, as in the case of pensioners
who have lost an arm or leg, but
the examination of all others should
be thorough. If they are suffering
from disease let the boards satisfy
themselves that this disease is direct
lv traceable to their army service. Ii
this fact cannot be clearly established,
then let the board recommend that
they be dropped from the rolls. If
the pensioner is not satisfied he may
appeal to the Court Of Review, whose
finding, as l say, ought to be final"
The sentiment in favor OF pruning
of the pension roll is growing, and the
people will back up the next Congress
in its determination TO have reform
in these matters. The soldier vote
will doubtless be used for all 1t Is
worth, but il is not the lever it used
to be.
The Democratic party is pledged to
economy in all things. The next
Congress will do its duty in stopping
the leaks that are emptying the Treas
ury, and extravaganza will be frowned
upon and frauds exposed, no matter
who NAV he hurt

taken as to the amount of his fortune.
Mr.. Rockefeller's family deny that

but his friends are sOlicitous just the
same. His sickness has renewed the
speculation as to his immense wealth.
