ROME, Dec. 90.-The holy father ls
greatly incensed at the opposition dis
played against Mgr. Satoli and the
peaceful and moderate solution Of
the school question In the
United States. The pope has already on
several occasions given expression to
MS Feelings on the subject
with considerable warmth. Speaking
recently to one Of his contidants be is re-
ported to have said: "rhey (Satolli's op-
ponents) want to force the holy see to re-
treat, but the pope will not be repulsed" In
document which is now being prepared at
the vBtican the prudence and wisdom which
Mgr. Satolli displayed In his propositions
for solution Of she school question are
spoken Of with much praise.

fairs Is passing away, and is being sue

SUFFERING OF THE NoN-UNIoNIsTs.
The suffering OF the non-unlouists has in

part they have absolutely exhausted all
their available belongings to buy food. In

The Attempt TO Freeze Out Hawthorne
Park Proves Failure.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-All the cases against
Edward Corrigan and his associates Of the
Hawthorne track, who were arrested on
charges of violating the gambling law,
were to-day dismissed for want Of prose-
cution. This result was brought about by
a sharp move on the part of Corrigan and
his attorneys. When the first arrest was
made at the track the constables made the
mistake Of arresting horse owner named
Williams, instead of a jockey of the same
name for whom the warrant was sworn out.
1t was admitted at the preliminary hearing
that the horse owner was wrong
fully arrested, and he immediabely
fled an affidavit before Judge
Windes that he was about to commence
proceedings against Sanford A. Birdseil,
the principal witness for the prosecution, ON
whose sworn complaint he had been ar
rested, for $40, 600 damages on a charge of
conspiracy. Williams also declared that
he believed that unless Birdsell were placed
under bond he would not appear for trial.
BIRDsELL TURNS UP MISSING.
Judge Windes issued capias, which is
now in the hands of the sheriff, for Bird
sells arrest. placing his bail at $4,000.
When the cases were called this morning
Attorney Nudge, for the prosecution, said
Birdsell had been unable TO find such heavy
bail, and, being averse to spending month
or so in Jail, he was not to be found. Nudge
therefore asked that the case be dismissed
for want of prosecution. The attorney
bitterly denounced what he characterized
as the stiDginess Of his clients, who, 1t
seems, have failed to properly support him
In his efforts, and it is not probable that
further attempts will be made at present to
suppress racing ct Hawthorne.

from the court house steps. Last night,
late, two strangers went to ailer Bergner's
house, and, arousing him, told him they
had a prisoner. BE went with them
70 the jail, where he was met by
mob of 100 armed and masked
men, who were hidden behind the
fence, with drawn pistols. They demanded
the Keys, which Jailer Bergner surren-
dered. The cells of John Hipp and Charles
Kelley. the alleged murderers of Tax Col
lector G. j. Armstrong Of Butler county,
were opened and both men we're taken out
in tn cir night clothes and hurried to the
court house yard with ropes about their
necks.
SWUNG OFF IN A JIFgY.
Without being allowed time to pray they
were hanged to the court house steps, The
mob then quietly dispersed. The verdict OF
the coroners jury is that thekmen were
hanged by unknown persons.
Mr.. Armstrong, while collecting taxes,

a week ago after desperate fight with a
sheriff's posse, in which Hipp was seriously
wounded. Last Sunday Kelley was caught
in Monroe county. The evidence against
both was deemed to be conclusive, and as it
was ascertained these men had been guilty
of several murders they were lynched.
