THERE'S A HINT IN THIS.
HOW TO PREVENT LYNCH.

One Brave Man of the Law Can

Ground at the Right hOment-A
Terrible Experience In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-Cornelius j. Sulli
van, known on the docks as Boston
Kelly" became involved in quarrel
with Martin Bales, desperate young
negro, today.
Bales dashed at Sullivan with an up
raised knife, and before Sullivan could
make show of resistance he had re-
ceived three savage cuts. The third
pierced his heart and he fell dead.
Throwing the knife down, Bales ran
away, Sullivans friends started in pur-
suit with cries of Hang the nigger!"
Lynch him. A shot which cut the skin
on his right arm did not stop the muir
derer, who ran into the arms of Police
man Cain. The inturiated mob attacked
both the negro and the policeman, the
latter making brave defence, beng
Knocked down repeatedly, but never los
ing hold of his prisoner.
He would have been overpowcred and
Bales would have been lynched had not
John M. Smyth drove up in buggy and
thrown both Cain and Bales into it,
driving to the police station near BY, and
escaping the mob. Bales acknowledged
his guilt.
Foiled in its thirst for revenge upon
the murderer of Sullivan, the mob be-
came wilder than ever. Race hatred
quickly showed itself. SANDY" Smith,
colored, an innocent spectator, started
to run away when the mob returned.
At once a savage chase ensued. The
same cries of Lynch him." Hang the
nlggcr," were heard. As the yelling
mob ran after Smith several shots were
hred, one OF which struck Henry Dono.
van in the arm and stopped him in the
chase after the fleeing Smith. Rushing into
a narrow a'lcyway at 3OPinc street Smith
was captured. An adjacent wagon yard
was quickly filled by the angry crowd,
and Smith was hustled into it fighting
for his lite. His clothes were soon torn
to tatters aud his face pounded horribly
The lynching spirit was uppcrmost in
the mind OF the mob, and the sight of a
a rope and pulley dangling from the side
of l., {. Tewe's ice barn was sufficient
as suggestion.
Lets string him up" was the cry, and
when Policemen REYNOLDS and Johnson
who had heard the noise, arrived Smiths
neck was encrced by the rope and the
lynching of an innocent man would hav,
occurred had not patrol wagon dashec
up. Then the mob dashed away and the
fainting negro was resuscitated. TIL,
man who was shot in the chase is badly
hurt.-New York Sun.

A STARTLING SENSATION.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT on THE
LIFE OF EMPEROR JOSEPH.
The story IL Not Confirmed Vet,
and May Not be True-A Bridge
Was to be wrecked Before the
Imperial Train.

VIENNA, October 1.-Emperor Francis
Joseph arrived at Reichberg, near Prague
this morning, and with his advent came
the news of an alleged attempt upon his
life. The news has caused great sensa-
tion in spite OF the doubts thrown upon
the statement.
The story, in brief, is as follows:
During the night an attempt was made
with dynamite bomb to blow up the
railroad bridge at Rosenthal, suburb
of Reichbury. This outrage is said to
have occurred shortly before the Emper-
or's train was expected to pass over the
bridge. Some railroad watchmen, it is
said, saw the would-be assassins as they
were upon the point of attaching the
bomb to the bridge and by appearing
upon the scene frustrated their design.
The railroad officials who have calcu-
lated this alarming story have not as vet
explained whether the men supposed to
have been engaged in this outrage intend
ed to destroy the Rosenthal bridge as the
imperial train was approaching it or
whether it was the alleged assassin's
desire to wait until the emperor's train
was upon the bridge. In any case, there
is much in the whole affair which will
need definite explanation before sober
minded people will be convinced that an
attempt upon the emperor's life has been
made or even contemplated

STATE BANKING.
The Panic of 1887 and what II
Costs A ALBANIA Today.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. lin speech
in Camden county Gov. Thomas G. Jones
in accepting the issue of the pending
campaign as being the democracy
against the alliance said:
"As we all know, the state of Alabama
once INDUCED in the business OF banking
or loaning money to the people.
"The panic of 1887, however, caused
great depression and suffering in Ala
bama, A cry came up from the people
that the state must come to the rescue
by lending the people money. A called
session of the Legislature was had. and
in June, 1887, the state issued $5,OOO,-
900 of bonds, which were sold at par
aud loaned through the banks to the
people. The loans were required to be
apportioned according to population in
the several counties, and no individual
could borrow more than $4,000. The
loans were to be at per cent. interest,
secured by two good and sufficient sure
ties, and, when required, by deed Of
trust on real estate and slaves.
Men Of ability and honesty conducted
the banks. but they soon failed, entaling
food of litigation and distress upon
the people The state was compelled to
wind up the banks and the taxpayers
had to foot the bills, which were enor-
nous. In the debt compromise OF 1876,
the bonds issued by the state to raise
money to loan to the people were not
scaled, though the rate OF interest was
reduced This $4,000, 900 issue of bonds
now bears four per cent. interest, and
the state paws 100000 interest per an
mum on them.
The state also put into the banks the
university fund and the surplus fund. All
these trust funds were swallowed up in
the operations of the banks, and in con-
sequence the state now pays yearly for
interest on these trust funds in round
numbers more than $162 900.
"The people OF Alabama are paying to
day 1862 600 interest per year, or nearly
thousand dollars day, on account of
a mistake on this line which our ances-
tors made fifty years ago"
