A Brief Account of His Crime.
NASHVILLE, April 3O-At l2:4 this
morning a crowd began to gather around
the vicinity of the Jail where the four
negroes arrested in connection with the
assault on the Misses Bruce, near Good
lettsville, are confined. The crowd at first
numbered over 100 persons, most of whom
appeared to be strangers, and they were
awaiting re-enforcements from the coun-
try. There has been great deal Of dis
content manifested at Goodlettsville be-
cause Harper, around whose neck a rope
was twice placed by the mob Thursday,
was allowed to escape lynching. 1t seems
to be the general impression that he was
implicated.
The Rob Begins Its Attack.
Having been reinforced the mob secured
an ak and commenced battering on the
iron bars of the outer door. A large num-
Der of officers were present, but were pow
erless to render assistance. Governor Bu-
chanan arrived about 1:30 o'clock, and ad-
dressed the mob, counseling them to desist
and promising that the prisoners would be
promptly dealt with by the courts. The
mob refused to listen to the governors en-
treaties, and said they would have the
prisoners at all hazards. Jailer Willis was
surrounded by the vigilantes, but refused
TO deliver up the keys. which he claimed
were i'll possession of the night Waterman,
who had disappeared.
Alarm Rung on the Riot Bell.
The mob time and again demanded that
the keys be surrendered, but the same
reply was given in every instance The
not bell was rung at , O'Clock and in q
few minutes people who were aroused
from their slumbers began TO flock to the
scene of the trouble. The police drove the
foremost members of the mob out of the
entrnace to the Jail, but suddenly there was
a rush of more than a hundred armed men
from a street in the neighborhood and the
attack was renewed.
Peace Counsels Finally Prevail.
A number shots were exchanged and
one of the mob was wounded. Then Gov
ernor Buchanan reappeared with AdjuUant
General Norman and addressed the mob.
The Jail at this time was well manned
with police, and an attack would probably
have resulted in great bloodshed. The
governor and adjutant general advised
the mob to disperse, and after some delib-
Grafton the leaders promised the governor
that everything would be quiet, and the
law should take its course

SERVED HIS TIME AND FREE.
The Financial Napoleon" Ferd Ward at
Liberty Once More.

Liberty Once More.
SING SING, n. Y, April 3d. Ferdinand
Ward the first Napoleon of finance" is a
free man again. When he left the prison
he was given prison madesuit of clothes,
$40 and ticket to New York. The United
States district attorney has decided not to
re-arrest him at present on the indict-
ments hanging over him in the United
States court. Ward was in partnership
with the son of the first soldier of the era
General Ulysses S. Grant, under the firm
name of Grant & Ward. Those black
days beginning with March 6, 1884, when
1t was announced that the great firm of
Grant & Ward had gone down, and that
the Marine bank had closed its doors as a
consequence, are too recent to be entirely
forgotten. The liabilities of the firm were
s14, 900 coo with nothing left with which
to pay them.
How He Worked His Schemes.
BY posing as big lender of money
Ferdinand Ward, the 30-year-old son of a
Baptist minister, had obtained great
blocks of stocks and bonds, always exact
ing twice as much collateral as he loaned
money. Then he pressed the collateral for
all he could get, paid ruinous rates of in
terest, and invested in all kinds of wildcat
schemes, with President Fish, of the Ma
rine bank, as silent partner. Ward finally
came to the end of his rope, and the crash
followed He was arrested, and his trial
occurred in the following October. Gen
eral Tracy, now secretary of the navy, de-
Tended him, and after three days fight
he stood before Justice Barrett, on Oct 81,
and received a sentence of ten years at
hard labor in Sing Sing
His Employment In Prison.
He was brought here the next day and
put to work cleaning castings, in the stove
department. From there he was removed
to the printing office. which he was the
first to conduct, and printed labels for
Perry & Co. He had worked at the trade
when boy and soon learned to do good
work. Since then he has done all the
printing for the prison, besides keeping a
scrap book for Warden Brown and his
predecessor. Wards career has been a
most remarkable one, he having risen in
three years, through his own shrewdness,
from messengership in the Produce Ex
change to the head of great banking
firm that could borrow $4,000, 900. lie
has spent the last few weeks breaking i'm
convict to fill his place in the printing
Office.
Bereav ements While In Prison
Ward feels his position keenly, but in.
tends to start life anew and earn an hon.
est living. In an interview before his re-
lease with correspondent he said: 81
look anxiously toward my release, princi-
-Sallv SO that can see my 7-year-old son.

LONDON, April 3O.-In the house of COM
mons vest erday Daniel Chilly. Nationalist
NJ. p. for Mayo, caused good deal of
amusement by question addressed to
Balfour the leader of the house, on the
subject of providing quarters for the home
rule parliament. Chilly asked Balfour
upon whar terms the Bank of Ireland had
acquired possession of the Irish parliament
house on College Green, Dublin. He
(Crilly) thought the question one of impor-
lance, in view of the near approach of
home rule. [Laughterl.
Proved To BE a Buzz Saw.
Balfour said ne had no knowledge as to
what the terms were upon which the bank
acquired the property, but had DO doubt
the honor able member could ascertain
upon inqur ring in the proper quarter. He
(Balfour) felt quite certain that whenever
Irish home rule should be established
there would be no difficulty in securing
suitable promises for an Irish parliament

Tilt with the G. o. NJ.
The Tory leader seemed to be in excel
lent form, for when at another stage of the
proceedings Gladstone tackled him, the G.
o. NJ. got the worst of it. Gladstone
severely criticised Balfour for, as he called
it, muddliny the transaction of business.
Gladstone said that he doubted that the
government intended to press the Irish
local government bill. "Why not" he de-
manded, @rtise. the veil shrouding the in
tentions of the government as to the gen
eral electionfr Balfour, in reply, denied
that the business of the house was in a
backward condition. The Irish local gov
eminent bill would be taken up in the
middle of May He added: "In view of
menaced opposition to that bill 1 fail to
understand why the side represented by
the honorable gentleman is so ardently
DESTROYS of aving it taken up. The policy
of the vernment is plain and straight,
but the same can hardly be said of their
