LOUISVILLE, April 15.-During a
thunder storm, j. +. Robinson. u prom
lnent merchant, vas being shaved In
Taylor's barber shop In Jacksonville.
Direct over head was an incandescent
electric light. Suddenly there was q
flash of lightning, and the customers In
the shop were %astonished to see flames
playing around the razor In Taylor's
hand. The barber dropped the instru-
ment, and in q flash the lights were ont.
A lamp was lighted and Robinson was
found lying unconscious in the barbor's
chair. He soon recovered, however,
and has experienced nc III effects. The

KANSAS CRY, Mo, April 9.-A crowd
of five hundred negroes lastnight attack
ed the county Jail with the intention of
lynching William Mccoy, who brutally
murdered Nellie McGruder last Sunday
night. by beating her to a jelly with
stones. An attempt to lynch Mccoy
was made last Monday, at the time of
his preliminary trial, but the prisoner
was so we'll guarded that ths attempt
was abandoned. The sheriff concluded
that the excitement. amo, g the negro
population had subsidized sufficiently to
warrant the withdrawal II the extra
guards, and when the attack was made
last night it was wholly unexpected.
The negroes gathered quietly about
the building and at 12.45 twenty oftheir
number, masked aud otherwi se disguised,
broke in the outer door aud immediately
proceeded TO that part of the building
which was partitioned off for o Jail. This
is separated from the rest of the build
ing bya stout iron door. Only one guard
was on duty. He drew his revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man who
approached tho door. The committee

drew and Joined their comrades outside.
After further parleying the entire mob
dispersed. The guards have been
doubled IN anticipation of q further at

Whose Fault Was t..

New YORK, April 9.-The agents OF
the Fabre Line of steamships, which
bring most of the Italian immigrants to
this port, have involved themselves in
serious complications with the United
States authorities because Of the viola
ton of the immigration laws.
The superintendent of the immigrant
station, Col Weber, several days ago
ordered that twenty-four Italians, who
arrived on the steamer Burgundia should
be taken back to Italy as they were
deemed to have come here in violation
of the laws. The steamer agents pro-
tested against this action, and yesterday
Col. Weber sent an inspector to the
steamer to see If the barred immigrants
were on board, as the vessel was to sail
at 4 O'Clock this morning. The inspec.
tor found only three of the immigrants
there, but ne vas told by the officers
of the steamer that the others were
lounging around somewhere and would
turn up in time for the steamers s. sailing.
The inspector renamed aboard till the
Burgundia sailed and then reported to
Col. Weber that thelmissing twenty-one
immigrants had not turned up and their
whereabouts is unknown. Col. Weber
will report the matter to the Secretary
of the Treasury.

THE CITY'S HEALTH.
A Reduction in the Number Of Deaths Last
Week.

Week.
In the report Of the operations of the health
Office for last week Health Officer Townshend
says: During the past week the number of
deaths fell to 14O from 40 in the previous week
and the deaths from diarrheal diseases to forty
one as compared With sixty-two the week be-
fore. This improvement may be attributed
mainly to the phenomenally cool weather and
to the fact that many infants have been taken
to the country and to mountain retreats. Yet
the report this week gives the large number of
eightytwo deaths of children under five years
of age and of seventy-one infants under one
year old. Otherwise the health Of the District
is good. But few fatal cases from contagious
diseases have occurred.
The total absence of mortality from typhoid
fever and malarial troubles is notable feature,
considering the time of the year, and speaks
well for scientific medical progress, as well as
for the sanitary condition of the city,
The report shows:

DIED TO SAVE OTHERS.
Heroic Seif-Sacrifice of Engineer Todd In
Iowa Train Wrecking.

Heroic Self Sacrifice of Engineer Todd In an
Iowa Train wrecking.
The officials Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad. who are investigating the
wreoking of train at Lansing, Mich, on July
4, secured the arrest yesterday of one person
and are said to be on the track Of three OF his
confederates.
The McGregor passenger train, bound for
La Crosse, with several cars heavily loaded
with passengers, when near Lansing struck an
obstruction placed upon q rail and the engine
was hurled over the bank into the Mississippi
river. Fortunately the cars remained on the
rails, the engineer, Charles Todd, giving up his
own life to save the lives Of passengers.
Todd's fireman jumped and was saved. Todd
left his engine going, but he remained to set
the airbrakes, shut of steam and open the sand
valves to make the wheels hold so that the cars
might stay on the rails He went down with
the engine.
His first question when rescued from the
ruins of the engine, badly scalded and writh-
ing in agony, WAS Are any Of the passengers
hurt?''
Upon being told ''No" by the passengers who
crowded about him. Todd smiled as he looked
around and said, well, this is . glorious
Fourth we are having, isn't it. Tn afraid 1
had too many fireworks"
He died shortly afterward. The perpetra-
tors are said to be farmer boys The one I'M
der arrest is only twelve years Of age.
