A TENNESSEE LYNCHINGs
The Governor Pleaded. With the Mob
But It Was Deaf

b.
A mob went to Nashville, Tenn, few;
nights ago, and gathered near the Davidson
County jail to lynch the men charged with
assaulting the Misses Bruce at Goodlsttss'
vile. At midnight twenty-five officers bs-|
gan guarding the Jail. g:
As soon Is the head OF the mob reached
tho jail gate an imperative ring Of the bell
sounded, but admittanco was refused. Al
dozen men were on the fence, but those who
had already gotten over broke the lock Of
tho gate. - ~
Governor Buchanan and Adjutant Gem
eraI Homer, who had been awakened, made
their way into the jail. The Governor
mounted the crowded steps, but he was unss
able to make himself heard. and he pressed
his way into ths excited throng around tha
door. he attempted to speak, but his voice.
was drowned in the frenzy Of yells.
He promised them that the Law should be-
vindicated, but they would not wait. Th6
crowbar was applied to tho iron door and
half dozen men grabbed hold Of 1t. Gov.
ernor Buchanan grabbed the croWbar and
by main strength held 1t back for moment
but was sovarpowered. BE retired into an-l
other room. The mob was not successful
however, at this time. sls
During the excitement shot was hreds
from without. This was returned by the
officers. A man named N. L Guthrie WAS
shot through the left breast and died the
next morning. Charley Rear was ALSO
shot.
At2 o'clock next afternoon the mob again
attacked the jail. It assembled on the,
Square. and, apparently without interier-
ence on the part Of the officers, secured Eph;
Grizzard. They put the rope around his
neck and led him to the east end OF the
bridge across the Cumberland River, in the
heart Of the city, where they hanged him,
after which they ddled his body with buk

She is the New Practice Y essei Tor
the Naval Cadets.
J. The United States practice cruiser Ban
croft, which is designed for the use OF the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, has been
launched at the shipyard of the Samuel l.
Moore g. Sons Company at Elizabethport
n. J.. where she was built. The "baby
cruiser,c as naval officers have already
duobed her, showed amazing spirit upon her
liberation from the timbers which have
eradled her during her building, and took TO
the water literally like duck.
She broke away with such vigor that her
blue-eyed and fair-haired christener, Miss
Mary Frances Moore, hal to act with un-
common liveliness to smash the bottle over
the vessels steel nose before sae ruSneo away
into Staten Island Sound.
The Bancroft is the smallest vessel Of the
new steel navy. The act authorizing her con-
ssruction was passed on September 2, lsSs,
and her purpose was to provide a thor
oughly modern war ship in miniature for
the use OF the cadets OF the National Naval
Academy. Heretofore the cadets have
cruised annually in the old ship Constella-
ton, but, while this has given them
practice in steamship and discipline,
It has left their education in the hands or
modern ships and modern armamenIS W oe
got after graduation. The plan was to ut
the steel practice cruiser with every aPpll.
ance which could be found aboard the best
Of the new ships, and she was to be so con-
structed as 10 make a small though service
able cruiser in case OF war.
These are her dimensions. Length on
water line, 1877 feet incnes; length over all,
lS9 feet 6incnes; breadth Of beam, 80 feet;
moulded depth, 81 feet ~ incnss; drausht
of water, ii feet forward, IL feet aft: area
Of Immersed midsnip section, 279 square
feet; OF load water plane, 402 square fees;
displacement per incn OF immersion at loaa
water line, 953 tons.
The Bancroft is expected to develop
speed of fourteen knots. Her propellers are
seven feet in diameter, with pitch OF seven
and a half feet. Shs will be rugged as a
barkentins wltaout head booms, and Will
have a sail area for so square feet. For .
main battery she will have four four-inca
rapid-fre guns in projecting sponsons pre-
tectei by shields. The secondary battery
. will consist OF two six pounder, two three

guns, one thirty. seven nm. revolving can
non, an one Gatling gun. There will %
two tubes for automobile rorpedoes. With
her equipment the vessel is to cost $33s751.

"ANGEL MAKERS" TO HANG.
Six Murderers Of Children Convicted
in Russia.

OLA AuAASuCECEo W S0hsASsosA
in Russia.
At wilma, Russia, six men and women
were convicted Of numbering babies that had
been intrusted to their charge, and were
sentenced to from six to twenty years penal
servitudc. In many cases the murders
were committed with the connivance OF the
mothers Of the little victims. Il
The preliminary inquiriesinto these crimss
lasted nearly two years, each case being
thoroughly investigated before any arrests
were made. The first clue to this wholesale
conspiracy to murder was obtained In April,
1890 whan some one discovered In the cess
pool of wretched hovel in Wilma the bodies
of six small children. This led to further
searches and in the end the remains Of sixty
five infants were found.
Forty men and women were arrested, and
$50 witnesses were summoned to testify
against them. The dispatch from Wilma does
not state whether all the prisoners were tried
and only six convicted, but the supposltton
is that as the evidence was so strong against
the accused, only the six condemned were
tried.
The prisoners had gained the couoquiai
name Of 'sngel makers" from tner prao-
tics of killing children whose existence was
inconvenient or distastefui to parents.

Live stock in Illinois is threatened with
determination, and grave fears ara felt for
human life, by the ravages OF wil9
wolves which have been driven opt
Of their seclusion in the Minnesota foreSts
by hunger. The forest fires Of the early fall
and winter left the wild beasts without any;
kind of food, and they came down the Ice on
the Mississippi River and sought food and
shelter among the formers In HancockS
County and in other localities across tho
river in Iowa and Missouri. tA
C, D. Baxter, of Montebello Township,
Illinois, the other morning found! nineteen
of his best sheep lying dead : In the
pasture while several other animals were
found in a badly crippled condition.
Mr.. Baxter said that the wolves divide
up into pairs and attack a flock Of
sheep, cutting the threat of each animal
with ther long teeth, and then Jdevouring the
heart and liver Of the animal at their
leisure. From many sources come reports Of
loss Of domestic animals, and general on
slaught of wolves has begun.
The farmers, however, are at q loss e. 10 O
successful method Of warfare against the un-;
desired emigrants. The wolves by their
hunger are bolder than the dogs, and the
latter are unwilling to attack them. Large
bounties have been offered for the heads Of
rhe wolves. - $3.50: ~ -
