Kansas City tNan.) Aldermen NarrOwl1
Escape from Indignant Taxpayers.
KANSAS CITY, No, Aug. 12.-The
mayor and council of the city of Kan
sas City, Kan. barely escaped ven
geance Monday night at the hands of a
crowd of 500 taxpayers The excite
ment arose over the proposition OF /
city council to purchase the plaT
of the Consolidated Electric Light an,
Power Company for $40, 600. There WAY
much public indignation over the prop
osition, it being believed by
many that improper induces
ments had been offered to the
members of the council to pass
the ordinance authorizing the purchase.
The Indignation eliminated Monday
night when mass meeting of the tax
payers was held to protest against the
proposed purchase. John b. Scroggs
addressed the crowd from the court
house steps, denouncing in bitter Inn
guage the proposed action of the coun-
ell. Finally a committee of fifteen was
appointed to call at the council cham
Der and present the protest before the
ordinance could be passed. The crowd
by its own motion joined the committee
and as the march proceeded the
excitement grew and shouts of Lynch
them!n and Hang them" were heard.
In the meantime the council had
been informed of the progress of the
mob and hasty adjournment was
taken. The last alderman had barely
beat a rapid retreat when the advance
guard of the mob rushed into the
chamber, to be disappointed at finding
it empty. The crowd resolved itself
into a mass meeting again and more
speeches were made, the mayor and
council being denounced as towards
and thieves. Finally the mob dispersed
without doing any damage.

The announcement of Sir Hector Lam

DONNELLY AFTER GORE.
The Sage Serves Two Notices t.
Retract on the Pioneer.

The Sage Serves Two Notices to
Retract on the Pioneer.
Yesterday Ignatius Dom ely took
the step he threatened week ago. He
made the initiatory movement towards
two more libel suits against the Pioneer
Press. Z arIy in the day he visited
Cyrus Wellington, and a formal de-
mapd was formulated for a retractiOn
in the columns of the paper that has
offended him, under the provisions
Of the statutory libel law, which
recited in substance that the re-
traction shall be as public and broad as
the alleged defamation. The first suit,
in the event the retraction is not forth
coming, which is not likely, will be
brought OH account of the editorial of
last Sunday commenting on the Min
neapoliS trial that was ended on the
previous day, and it will be TO recover
100000. The second suit will be for
$4,000 damages on account of the ia
nous anarchist" editorial published
during the session of the last legisIa-
ture.
Mr. DonnelIy takes the ground that
the jury in giving him verdict for 81,
in the case tried in Minneapolis, COM
pletely vindicates him-just as COM
pletely morally. III IacC, as InOugn the
verdict had been for the full 100000
sued for. The structures in the edi-
torial which is TO form the basis of the
next trial, he insists, was reaffirma-
ton of all the charges of cor
ruption made in the Bill
King letter. 1t declared, for
illustration, that the jury held every
charge substantiated save one count,
which would have been proven were the
witnesses still alive. Mr.. Donnelly
maintains that he will have less diff
Guilty in securing a verdict now than he
did in the first instance, and Mr.. Wei
lington's opinion is that the editorial is
clearly libelous and malici Gus defama-
ton of character.
Mr.. Donnelly. in all interview yester-
day, reiterated his theory of the force
of reasoning by one of the Minneapolis
jurors that brought the others down
from voting for q verdict of S5e, GOO to
the single 81 basis. He said it is quite
apparent that the juror in question sue
ceeded in convin cling the other ell ever
jurors that Mr.. Donnelly's sole obj ect il
