He Tried to Commit Suicide, hut a Mob
 Inflicted Another Kind of Death.
 NASHVILLE, July 26.-J. H. Wynne, who
 resided near Burns, small town thirty
 seven miles from Nashville, on the Nash
 vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway,
 and who murdered his wife, mortally wounded his step-daughter, Miss Ander- son, and afterwards attempted to take his own life, after he had told his son the
 story of his crime, was arrested yesterday
 morning and while being taken to jail
 was taken from the officers by 8 mob and
 hanged.
 Wynne attacked his wife and step
 daughter while they were asleep, between
 and 9 clock. His little son, who was
 asleep in another room and was not mo-
 tested, was the only other person in the house at the time Stealing into the room, he struck his wife two blows on the side of the head with an axe. Either blow would have been fatal. Wynne immedi- ately turned his attention to Miss Ander- son, striking her once on the right side of the head above the ear. and once on the right side and back of the neck, cutting to the bone. Two or three fingers of the left hand were cut off by the sharp blade of the axe.
 Believing that he had killed Miss Ander son as we'll as his wife, Wynne broke all | of the lamps, leaving the house in dark | ness. He then closed the doors, locked | the gate, and, going to Colesburg, two | miles distant, told what he had done. He | then drew a knife and inflicted a severe wound four inches deep in his neck. The excitement that followed the confession of | Wynne was intense. Neighbors visited
 the house and found Mrs. Wynue dead and 1 her daughter in dying condition. l When the officers were taking Wynne | to jail they were overpowered and the | prisoner was taken away from them. He was hurried to a tree near by and hauged.

Strenuous Efforts Being Made i'm Col. IT.
 c. Kings Behalf
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 26.-It is gen. erally believed here that the application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by the attorneys of Col. Henry Clay King before United States Circuit Judge Jackson, will result in favor of Colonel King and that he will escape the death penalty.
 Colonel H. Clay King is under sentence to be hanged on August 12 for the murder in an iron ribbed cell in the Memphis jail within sight of the one occupied by Alice Mitchell, the pretty and petite murderess of her lover friend, Freda Ward.
 It was the morning of March 10, 1891, when the deed was done. MT. Poston was walking along the street in the very heart of the city, where everybody knew him. He had just lifted his hat to a lady, when King, wild eyed with rage and maddened by drink, sprang out upon the sidewalk Poston held out his hand, but it was dashed aside, and King, placing the muzzle of heavy revolver against Pos tons body, pulled the trigger and sent 8 bullet clean through his victim. It was 8 cowardly shot and as deadly as cowardly. Poston staggered but few paces and fell into the arms of & friend. He was car ried home and died on the second day after receiving his wound.
 After King had fired the fatal shot he made no effort to escape, but gave him. self up to the authorities. The excite ment around the scene of the tragedy was intense and threats of lynching became SO ominous that the wretched prisoner begged to be permitted to retain his re- | volver for self defense until he reached the shelter of the jail, and this was ac- corded him.

and confinement, equally largely per haps of despairing heart and of that scourge even of the busy camp, nos talgia.
 On every porch and doorstep along that dismal route, often lining the curb as well, stood grave-faced men and women, many with trembling lips or tear-blurred vision, eagerly scanning the pitiful passers for chance of one fa- miliar face. Almost every hand held omething,-packages of solid food, dainties long unknown to those men, famishing on prison fare, warm wraps, such clothing as haste collected, and sometimes even blankets.
 And, as the line moved slowly on, grave men and dainty women-and bright-faced little children too, scarce comprehending but thus love-laden also-left their homes, keeping abreast 1t, but ever repelled by bayonets of the guard, intervalled along the column. But suddenly, around the corner of the Gray residence, just beyond, rode an officer of rank, a sedate, kindly-faced veteran with stars upon his shoulder, and followed by a glittering staff.
 "Halt" rang out from the captain of the guard, command gladly obeyed by the prisoners. Spite of the piercing wind sweeping down the broad street, many of them crouched down to rest, some lying prone upon the cold stones of the pavement, from sheer weakness. And it chanced the center of the line was directly opposite the residence. From the closed lattice of her attic, Carolyn Clay scanned the prisoners, with blazing eyes her hands cIinching

Violent Electrical Storm.

CORNING, N. Y, July 26.-One of the most violent electrical storms ever eX- perienced in this section occurred between 8 and o'clock in the morning. For a long time the heavens presented q dazzling sight. At the Erwin Crossing of Erie and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, three miles west of this place, the lightning danced around the signal tower, Operator Cahill making his escape just as the tower was struck. In a few minutes it war burned to the ground. MT. Cahill was thrown to the ground and stunned by the force of the shock.

A Murderer Dies Before Execution.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-Early in the morning Henry Davis, colored, sentenced to be hanged on September for the mur der of Job Haas, the coal dealer, died in his cell of consumption. When the death warrant was read some two weeks ago it was noticed that Davis was fast yielding to the fatal disease, and it was doubted then if he would live until the day fixed for his execution. Davis was convicted on circumstantial evidence but recently it is said, confessed having committed the deed to fellow prisoner.

 More than one face seemed familiar to her eyes, running swiftly down the line; some she had seen in camp, with more than one she had spoken, in the merry days of early war. Suddenly, as she looked, the woman gave great gasp, the blood rushing to her ashen face, burning on either cheek in great red disks. And her long taper hands clutched the shutters f1ercely, as though to fling them wide.

 Facts That Are Well Worth Careful Con- sideration.
 There is reason to believe that more cases of dangerous and fatal diseases are gradually engendered annually by the habit of sleeping in small, unventi-, lated rooms than have occurred from @ cholera atmosphere during any year since it made its appearance in this country. Very many persons sleep in ex1O rooms-that is, in rooms the, length and breadth of which multi piled together, and this multiplied again by 10, for the height of the chamber, would make just 800 cubic feet, while the space for each bed, ac- | cording to the English apportionment for hospitals, is 9, 100 feet, but more in order ''to give the air of room the highest degree of freshness" The French hospitals contract for com plete renewal of the air of room every hour, while the English assert that double the amount, or over 4,O00 feet, is required. Four thousand feet of air each hour!
 And yet there are multitudes in the city of New York who sleep with closed doors and windows in rooms which do not contain a thousand cubic feet of | space, and that thousand feet is to last all night, at least eight hours, except such scanty supplies as may be obtained of any fresh air that may insinuate it. self through little crevices by door or window not an eighth of an inch in thickness. But when it is known that in many cases a man and wife and in- fant sleep habitually in thousand-feet rooms it is no marvel that multitudes perish prematurely in cities; no won- der that infant children wilt away like flowers without water, and that thou sands of them die in the city of New l o1o f- ot ic that among the 5O,OOO persons who sleep in the lodging houses of London, expressly arranged on the improved principles of space and ventilation al- ready referred to, it has been proved that not one single case of fever has been engendered in two years!-N.

Their Strange Surroundings.

The statues of the twelve apostles are set up in the court of King Behanzin, the ruler of Dahomey, who in his an- nual religious celebrations is supposed to sacrifice at least 1 1000 human victims. The father of the present king some years ago received a number of Catholic priests at his court, and they won favor in his eyes by teaching the people the duty of submission to the king. They ind1ced the king to destroy some of the indecent fetiches in the capital When they were about to go away the king said to them: 'I have received you well and have even demolished the fetiches you think immoral, and in return I now insist that you shall show me your God to set up in their place." They extri- cated themselves from this difficulty by sending for statues of the twelve apos- ties, which were set up in Abomey and are still there.
