WILLIAMSBURG, Ky, Dec t0.-A mob
of 200 men, with the Jellico yard engine
and three flat cars, came down from
Jellico for the purpose of lynching
Leonard Tye, charged with the rape and
murder of Armelda Bryant, at Kensee,
Dec. 8. They had seized the switch en-
gine of the Jellico freight yards. Engi-
neer Fred Tilford and Fireman James
Williams found that it was useless to re-
sist, and were forced to get up steam in
order to carry the men to this place.
The mob got off and went to the Jail,
but Judge Boyd had ordered the prisoner
taken away, so they did not get him.
Tha mob called up Judge Boyd and had
a spirited talk with him, then crossed
the river and searched the woods and
cliffs, but they did not find the prisoner,
and finally went away, swearing they
would hang him yet. The negro was
taken to Stanford Jail, but when the
mob was there he was hidden in the
woods under the guard of Town Mar
shal Ross. The mob claims to have con-
elusive evidence that he is guilty, and if
he is he will surely be lynched, no mat
ter where taken.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 16.-W. B.
Turpin, convicted in Summer county of

Turpin was sentenced To be hanged once,

and were preparing to lynch the prisoner
when he was shipped from Gallatin and
brought here.

Mr.. BLAINE'S ILLNESS.
Extreme Reticence Regarding the

family persist in their policy of mystery
rega riding the health of Mr.. Blaine and
the illness against which he is fighting
The only information concerning his
condition to be had at his residence is
that he is resting comfortably, and his
condition is regarded as not critical. The
family pronounced the stories about his
illness as sensational and exaggerated.

familiar with the real situation are al
most equally reticent on the subject of
Mr., Blaine's health. They are influenced,
Of course, by Mr.. Blaine's well known
desire to withhold all information con-
cerning his bodily ailments.
1t is apparent to everybody at all con-
versant with the facts, however, that
the members of Mr.. Blaine's family are
in state of anxiety, if not of alarm, at
his present condition. His case no longer
yields readily to the treatment, and the
fear is becoming general that he is suf-
fering from severe organic trouble.
The family have determined to re-
move him to a warmer and less change
able climate as soon as he is strong
enough to endure the journey. The re-
cent sudden changes in temperature in
Washington and the prevailing damp
and unreasonable weather iHS said to
have greatly interfered with the success

have hastened the arrangements FOR his

Pennoyer for President.

Governor Pennoyer's name is
being prominently connected with
the nomination for President by
the Peoples party, which meets at
Omaha on July 4th, and the unex-
pected death of L. L. Polk, Presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance, for
whom several southern states were
instructed, has served to make his
candidacy matter Of serious con-
sideration.
There is more in this nomination
than many think. Gov. Pennoyer,
by his recent declarations, has now
placed himself in perfect harmony
with the Peoples party platform.
He is for free silver first, last and
all the time, and on this issue alone
he is certain to carry Idaho, Mon
tana, Colorado and Nevada. These
states, in the present campaign,
will not cast their electoral vote
for a gold bug. This is the judg-
ment Of the leading politicians Of
both parties in these localities, and
the unanimous verdict of the press.
Besides these silver producing
states, our Governor stands q good
show Of making conquests in the
south, where the Farmers Alliance
has it's greatest following, and in
Oregon he appears to have q polit-
ical mortgage, and the Republicans
will have to use a barrel Of money
corrupting the labor vote in order
to defeat him, and even in that
event the farmers may give him o
majority.
Should Governor Pennoyer sue
ceed in carrying the silver states
only, there is q strong possibility
of the election of President being
thrown in the House of Represen-
tatives, with the balance of power
in the hands of the Peoples candi-
date, there being more free silver
Democrats in the house than anti
silver.
There is no disputing the fact
that the Peoples party will play m
important part in the coming pres
idential campaign, no better evi-
dence being necessary than the
attempted hedging on silver by the
Republicans ct Minneapolis. If
either Of the old parties declare
in favor OF free silver it will lose
the financial aid of the gold bugs,
besides the electoral veto Of New
York and the New England states,
while the Peoples party may make
q great deal Of trouble to the old
parties with the few silver states
which it seems quite certain will
be given to the free silver candidate.
We hope Sylvester Pennoyer will
be nominated at Omaha, and if the
Oregon delegation at that conven-
ton properly presents the can
didacy Of Oregon's Governor he will
be nominated.-Weekly World.
