WORSE THAN EVAN LEWIS.
4 New and Ferocious "Strangler''
Comes to the Surface.

BRADFoRE, Pa, Feb. 26.-At the Wagner
opera house tonight, w. f. Gibbs the
kansas Demon" and Dennis Gallagher
of Buffalo, engaged in wrestling
match that came near ending in
a tragedy. The match was best two in
three falls, Greco-Roman style, change
holt not barred. The men were in prime
condition and the first bout ended
the contest. The struggle lasted twenty
minutes with honors even. Gibbs got a
strangle hold on Gallagher, but the Buffalo
man, by the exercise of wonderful
strength, broke the hold. In the
subsequent effort Gallagher got his man
by the neck and tried to place his shout
ders upon the carpet. Gibbs squiTmed
partly out of the bad position he was in,
and then Gallagher clutched him about
the neck, with a hang hold. With the
ferceness of On Evan Lewis, he squeezed
Gibbs windpipe until the latter, with
eyes protruding and black in the face,
made a gutteral sound like the stifled
roaring of bull. He was strangling.
Don't murder him" "Foulp and
"Let 90 OF him !" and other Mortified ex-
carnations came from the spectators
Billy Baker, Gibbs second, attempted to
rescue his man from Gallagher's clutches
but Referee Alliston held him back. Gal
lagher continued his choking until GIBBS
became unconscious and lay upon the
floor in a nearly lifeless condition.
He was carried TO his room by two men,
and after working over him for a long
time the wrestler was resuscltated. The
match was awarded to Gallagher, although
he did not throw his man.

BURNED A WOMAN TO DEATH.
Horrible Punishment Inflicted by a
Gang of Masked Men.

VIENNA, Feb. 26.-The details of most
horrible story was received in this city to-
day telling of a fendish act committed, it
is alleged, to avenge another terrible crime.
A band of masked men collected during
the night in the small village OF Mimi, in
the province of BukOwina.
They went to the house OF a handsome
young widow, named Marie Leprers, forced
their way into the bedroom occupied by
the woman and bound her securely with
cords. They then poured a large quantity
of petroleum over her, thoroughly saturat-
ng her clothes with the flu id.
A match was then applied to the oil
soaked garments. and in an instant the
unfortunate woman was eveloped in
flames.
The poor victims shrieks and cries were
blood curdling, but the terrible agony
suffered by the woman as she was roasted
to death had little effect in arousing pity
from her assailants, who watched the
woman's cremation.
The band stood gazing on this horrible
spectacle until the wOman's struggles had
ceased and anguished means had died
away, and not one Of them stirred from
the spot until nothing remained of the
woman's body but a blackened and dis
torted mass. The murderers then left the
place as secretly as they had arrived. The
AWFUL affair has caused much excitement
among the people in the vicinity.
The motive assigned for the outrage is
that the woman Is suspected of having
murdered her husband, and it is thought
that those who took part in the burning
of the woman were friends of the dead.

The Disturbance Renewed.

Inf1amed byitheir excuses of yesterday
md last night, the riotous crowd, many
n the members OF which had passed the
whole night on streets. began to renew
their disturbance this morning. The law
abiding residents of the city have taken
alarm and many of them did not care to
leave their dwellings. There was a strong
force OF police present, however, this
morning and they kept the idle men con-
tinually moving. At noon the crowds had
been augmented to such an extent that
the police felt 1t would be dangerous to
allow them to remain in the streets. and
especially when threats Of lootinQ shops
were made. They therefore charged the
crowds, but were met with a determined
resistance. and repeated charges were
necessary before the crowds were dis
persed.
During the course of the morning dis
satisfied and disorderly workingmen as
sembled at several points in the city. but
when ordered 10 disperse by the police
they did so, muttering threats but offering
no resistance At noon another large
crowd collected in the opera house square.
This mob was exceedingly unrully and re-
fused to obey the police orders to move on.
Without bantering words to secure a com
pliance with their orders the police
charged the mob with drawn swords and
dispersed them with little resistance.
Seven of the ring-leaders of this mob were
seized By the police and hustled off to Jail.
At O'clock this D. m. a relief detach-
ment Of soldiers, headed by a band, was
marching towards the castle to take the
places OF the guards on duty there. They
were accompanied by a large mob OF
roughs, who in every way tainted them
with upholding the rich against the poor.
For all the notice the soldiers took oftheir
insuIters they might have been marching

tanned when it is remembered that a
third class postofiice is one whose re-

second class $4,000 or over, and first

The increase of business in the post

of the city. Roanoke is now in the
same class as Richmond, Norfolk and
Lynchburg and before many years will
stand at the head of this class.

My DEAR SIR.-I am informed that
Judge VIM. S. Gooch is candidate for
nomination for the office of prosecuting
attorney of your city, and as friend

deep interest in his success. For many
years l have known him intimately.
We have been associated in many causes
and in many opposed. practiced con-
stantly in our county court, over which
he presided with impartiality and &C
Civity until he resigned to cast his lot
in your city, and while am not ac-
Quainted with the other gentlemen who
are opposing him for the nomination, l
can safely say that it will be hard TO
find a candidate better qualified for tho
position than he. He is a man of the
highest character, of warm and generous
nature and whose legal gu lifications
for that office will DO questioned by
always been strong supporter of the
Democratic party. and prior to his cleo
tion as Judge did perhaps more than any
one man in the county to redeem it

OF this letter which will in any way
advance his cause you are at liberty to
do so. Very truly yours,
