EMPEROR WILLIAM advises the ministers
of fatherland to cut down their sermons to
fifteen minutes. What can't be said in
that time, he thinks, is not worth saying,
and perhaps he is more than half right
"Old DR.. LOWELL of Boston," says the New
York Herald, used to preach only ten
minutes. and he always had church full.
There wasn't any opportunity to 60 to
sleep in the pews, for long before you
could get your forty winks he cried
Amen His friends used to say that he
drove only one nail home every Sunday
didn't tap at it with a tack hammer. but
lifted his sledge, let it come down with a
thud, and that was all there was to it"
If the Emperor WILLIAM can induce the
clergy of Germany to cut their sermons
down to fifteen minutes he will establish
his popularity on firm foundations and
will have no further occasion to fear Bis

Lynched by Soldiers.

o. j. Hunt, who killed Private Mil
Ter at Walla Walla, was lynched the next
evening by soldiers from the garrison and
fell iu the court house yard riddled with
sixteen bullets, four Of which entered his
head. Early in the evening Sheriff Nc
Fariand received intelligence that an at.
tempt would be made to lynch Hunt and
in company with Prosecuting Attorney
Blandford, he repaired TO the garrison
and told Colonel Compton what they
feared and asked him to assist them. This
he promised to by having check rolls
called after taps. The sheriff returned and
engaged number Of extra guards, but all
of them had not arrived when q crowd Of
probably seventy soldiers appeared and
demanded that the officers open the doors
of the Jail.
When this demand was refused tho
soldiers began work on the door with
hammers and chisels. Finding this slow
work they threatened to use dynamite,
Further resistance then being useless, the
doors were opened and thirty or forty
cooked revolvers were leveled at those
inside and the keys TO the cells demanded.
They were given up and Hunts cell was
shown them. and tkey quickly took him
into the court house yard and shot him
Excitement was intense, and q crowd Of
1000 people surged about the street In
front Of the Jail until after midnight.
Immediately after the shooting the crowd
went TO the quarters, and it viii be difficult
to identify those concerned in the shooting,
though many Of them were not masked.
The soldiers actually took charge of tho
town, and would allow no one to pass
along the streets in the vicinity Of the
tail. They compelled merchants to put
out the lights. Hunt, who was q gambler,
met Miller last Wednesday night in .
saloon. The two began drinking, and
soon became involved in a quarrel. Hunt
drew his revolver and fatally shot the
soldier.
President Harrison directs that court

HAVE THEY GOT HlM7
Supposed Capture Of the New York
''Jack the Ripper"

Inspector Byrnes has made public
known as "Frenchy No. n was ascer-
tanned to have slept in the East River
hotel on the night of tie murder. The
murdered woman, Carrie Brown, occupied
room No. 81, while "Freuchy No. u slept
in room No. 33. On the evening of the
night of the murder Carrie Brown was
seen going into the hotel in company with
q strange man. The man left the place
before midnight. 1t is believed that
'Frenchy No. /" then went TO Carrie
Browns room, that they quarreled, and
that the result Of the row was the murder
Of the woman.
The belief that the murderer has been
found is substantiated by the following
facts:
When "f'renchy No. u had completed
his murderous work he recrossed the
hall and entered the room No. 33. In
that room he left the evidence of his
guilt. When the police made their in
yestigation traces OF blood were TO be
found on every side. The only chair the
room contained was covered with blood,
smeared over it from he clothes the mur-
derer wore, he having sat down upon 1t
when he entered the room. The bed
blood, the murderer sometime during the
night having thrown himself upon the bed.
His stockings, he having removed his
shoes TO DO his bloody work, were soaked
with blood and his clothing was also
soaked with blood. On the walls and
ceiling Of the little room many small spots
OF blood were found, the man having
evidently entered the room with his hands
reeking with blood aud in his desire TO
remove it be had shaken and snapped his
hands and fingers, thus literally oistrio-
uting the blood about the room. When
the fellow was arrested Inspector ByrIes
examined his hands and finger nails. The
latter he carefully scrapcd and found
plain and distinct traces Of human blood.
10 positively establish the fact the scrap
ings and dirt found under the nails were
submitted 10 4 chemical analysis. From
the time the man was arrested but little
could be learned from him. He has made
few statements, but all have been so
very contradictinG that the police have
been able 10 make but little use Of them.
An oilicial police statement was made
substantiatit4 with greater details the
story gathered in the day time. Joseph
Franks, an Arabian, who is believed 10
have been the man who accompanied the
aged woman to room 81 tie nigh, of her
death, has been arrested

Sending Criminals to America.

An international question has
sprung up between the United States and
Germany, through the action Of German
officials in sending TO this country an in
sane German criminal. The matter is one
of Importance, coming on the heels Of the
New Orleans trouble, and indicates the
intention on the part Of the United States
to institute more rigid inspection OF cmi-
grants.
The case that gives rise to the action 10
that OF Nicholas Bader, who recently
arrived in New York. In an affidavit on
file with the treasury department Bader
states that he is "A years OF age and that
he arrived from Germany at the port Of
New York April -, by the steamship
Waestland from Antwerp; that his pass
age TO this country was paid for him by
authorities in the town of Stausach, Ger
many; that he has with him 81 in money /;
that he has no relatives in this country /;
that in 1864 he murdered girl with whom
he had been in love, for which crime he was
imprisoned one year, when he was de-
clared insane and confined in an asylum
for twcnty-four years, and from which he
was discharged somewhat over year ago /;
that he requested to bo sent to America
and the authorities sent him.
Secretary Foster has ordered tina; Bader
be returned to Germany by the steamship
company that brought him hither, and the
fact that he was transported to the United
States at the expense of the public author
titles in Germany has been called 70 the
attention OF the state department

Newton Williamson, q Wealthy Farmer,
Found Hanging I'm His Barn.
SPOKANE, July 24.+[Special. THE body
of Newton Williamson, a wealthy young
farmer residing on Moran prairie, ten
miles from this city, was found hanging
by rope from a beam in his barn this
morning. Williamson had been missing
since Wednesday night, and search by his
neighbors resulted in the discovery of his
body as above stated. Deceased was 80
years of age and unmarried. His life has
been full of mystery, and it is supposed he
hanged himself during a temporary tit of
insanity. About eight years ago he sud-
denly left home with team and wagon.
No trace of him was discovered for three
months, when his team and wagon were
found at q farmhouse near Walla Walla,
where he had abandoned them. Three
years went by and Wllliamson's relatives
gave him up for dead. after advertising in
nearly all the leading papers in the North
west without result. One day his parents
were surprised to receive letter from him
from town in British Columbia. He
soon after returned home and took charge
of his farm and would never give any ex-
planation of his sudden disappearance
and long absence. He has since accuniu-
lated considerable property and has never
shown any signs of an unbalanced mind.
He was of bright and cheerful disposi-
ton and was regarded as one of the most
successful farmers in this part of the coun-
try.

Anti-Jewish Agitation in Roum.lia.

ADRIANoPLE, July 24-Great excitement
prevails in this vicinity over tragic events
growing out of the accusation that Jewish
butchers killed a Greek child as a religious
sacrifice. The governor of Roumelia has
proclaimed the district under military law,
fearing otherwise that the inhabitants
would rise against the Jews. The alleged
murder occurred at the village of Musta-
pha Pasha, about twenty miles from this
city. The corpse of Greek girl years of
age was found in the river, and the doctors
declared that she had not been drowned
but had been strangled and thrown into the
water. All the butchers in the place were
Spanish Jews, except one Greek named
Stefanos, who swore that the girl had been
strangled in the manner of Jewish blood
offerings. Stetanos suddenly disappeared,
and later his corpse was found in sack
on the bank of a river The body was
covered with stabs. Suspicion fell on the
men whom Stefanos had accused, and five
of the Spanish butchers and two of their
apprentices were arrested. One of the ap-
prentices, a lad named Quianui, confessed
that the five prisoners had murdered Ste
fanos, and paid him to carry the body in a
sack TO the river. The mystery of the
girls death is yet unsolved, but in the
military trial which is to be held it is ex-
pected that some facts will be brought to
light.

ASTRONOMERS FIGHTING FIRE.
Forests Blazing Around Lick Observa-
tory-Philadelphia Factory Burned.


SAN JOSE. Cal, July 27.-The great
mountain fire that has been raging near
the Lick observatory has been materially
checked, and at 10 O'Clock tonight no fur
ther danger to the observatory or environs
is apprehended. The large force of fire.
fighters who have been working with
almost superhuman efforts succeeded by
digging ditch around the fire to change
its course. The fire is now running to-
ward Isabelle creek. The men tonight
have ceased fighting it, but are watching
TO prevent it's crossing the creek. 1t may
gain ground sufficiently to reach San
Antonio valley. Last night the
fire was so great that the whole
country back of the observatory
was blaze of light, making 1t almost
possible to read a newspaper Even at
Smiths creek the heat was intense. The
astronomers were fighting the fire like
demons. Much anxiety was felt about
the delicate astronomical instruments on
account of the heat, but 1t is learned
tonight that they were unharmed.
It is impossible to accurately
estimate what the total loss will be.
About 8, 900 acres have been devastated.
Robert Morrow, of San Francisco, had
about 1000 acres swept away, which en-
tails the loss of much valuable timber, In
cluding about 900 cords of wood belong
ing to the observatory. No buildings
with the exception of a barn belonging to
Hamberg Bros. of San Jose, and few de
serted shanties have been burned.
PHILADELPHIA, July A--The immens'
cotton and wool mill of Campbell q Elliott
