Richard Magce and one Carmichael,
both white, were hanged to telegraph
poles about half a mile from the town
of Benton, in Bosier parish, La, and
were swaying to and fro in the breeze
yesterday when Coroner II. Neeson
and jury arrived on the scene to hold
an inquest. When the men were cut
down they were still alive. Living on
Phelps lake, Bosier parish, near the
Arkansas line, was Mrs. Ellie Lingle.
widow of Joseph ii. Lingle, an old riv-
cr steamboat pilot. With her resided
an adopted daughter. The girl some
time ago was married TO Richard Ma
gee. who worked on Mrs. Lingle's
place. Magec then assumed the man
agement of the plantation, but things
did not run smoothly. He began sell
inc some OF the live stock, and quar-
rels with Mrs Lingle ensued. Magcc
armed himself with a shotgun Saturday
andwaited outside of Mrs. Lingle's house
while Carmichael informed Ms. Lin
Gle that Magee was stealing her hogs.
She nj once went outside to see about
il. when Magee emptied both barrels
of his gun into the woman's throa',
killing her instantly. It is said that
Carmichael had agreed with Magee 10
decoy her out Of the house so that the
latter could shoot her. Magee went TO
Benton Sunday and surrendered him
self to Sheriff Thompson, claiming that
he had shot the woman IN selt-dciense.
He alleged that she had tried TO shoot
him while he was loadiug wagon
with hogs. No warrant was issued for
Magec's arrest. although he was placed
in Jail. A party of men went to the
home of Sheriff Thompson carly yes
terdav morning, where there were also
stopping Deputies Cables and Heron,
and presented Carmichael, with his
hands tied behind him, saying that he
was implicated in the murder and they
wanted him put in Jail. Deputy Her
ron was designated to take the prIs-
oner to Jail. When he arrived he
found a crowd of men in waiting, who
seized and disarmcd him of his pistol
and took the keys of the Jail away
from him. Magee was then brought
out by the men and marched off with
Carmichael to the spot where they
were found hanging yesterday
morning. NIagec was about thir-
ty-five years old and Carmichael
about thirty. Both were bad charac-
tiers. 1t is supposed that Magee's OBJ
lect in killing Mrs. Lingle was to get
possession of her property through his

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The canvass
ofthe official returns ofthe vote for Har-
rison and Cleveland has been COM
pleted in San Francisco. The average
vote for electors in San Francisco coun-
ty shows a plurality for the democratic
ticket of 1858. The average plurality
for republican electors outside of San
Francisco is 1922, giving the democrats
plurality in the entire State of 37l.
The vote for individual electors varies
so considerably in the incomplete re-
turns that when the canvass of votes is
made the electoral vote will be found
to be divided.

Al! Quiet az Madrid.

MADRID, Dec 2-Though yesterday
was day of considerable excitement in
this city, there is nothing whatever to
justify the assertion that the popuIacc
had been in revolt. Most ofthe excite
ment was occasioned by report that
the anarchists had again commenced
their outrages, in the fact that 4 bomb
had exploded near the telegraph Office.
The police believe that the bomb WAS
placed there by boys bent upon mis-
chief. To-day the excitement has en-
tirely subsidized and quiet prevails.

DEATH OF Jay GOULD,

New YORK, Dec. Jay Gould died
at 9:l5 o'clock this morning. The di-
rect cause of his death was pulmonary
consumption. He had never rallied
after he had a hemorrhage of the lungs
on the day before Thanksgiving. He
had another hemorrhage two days later,
and still another on last Wednesday.
This announcement was q great sur
prise. as it had all along been supposed
that he was suffering from nervous
dyspepsia. DR.. Paxton, the pastor OF
Mr.. Gould's church, was at the house
when the end came. The members OF
the family who were in the house were
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Gould, Mr. and
Mrs. George Gould, Miss Helen Gould,
Mr.. Howard Could, Mr. Harold Gould,
and Miss Annie Gould.
Mr.. Gould was born in West Settle
ment, backwoods village of Roxbury,
New York, May y, 1886. His mother
dying when he was an infant young
Gould left home with fifty cents in his
pocket for neighboring town. Here
he turned an extra penny by keeping
the books of the village blacksmith,
eventually enjoying brief partner
ship in the concern. lie subsequently
entered into partnership with a tan
merry business in Pennsylvania. In
1856 the patent was sold and Gould
came to New York with quite an adj
dition to his fortune. In 1859 be en-
tered Wall street as broker and made
money fast. An attempt was made by
Gould in 1869 to corner all the gold in
the country. Fifty millions of dollars
was the prize aimed at. On Septem-
Der "a, the famous "Black Friday"
Gould without the knowledge of his
associates sold large part of his gold,
realizing enormously on the transac-
ton. The corner collapsed and num-
bers of business men and spectators
were ruined. appearance Jay Gould
was a little man of slight weight and
build, slightly bent shoulders and sharp
piercing eyes. In 1856 he married
Miss Ella Miller, daughter ola wealthy
New York citizen, and had five child
rem. Mr.. Gould was an attendant of
the Presbyterian Church, at which
Rev. John R. Paxton, d. d., was pas
tor, and was privately quite liberal in
his support of it, though not a member
of any church. No two estimates agree
as to the amount of his fortune. The
most conservative figures place it at
S6O,OO0,OO0 while some people in Wall
street figure it at fully one hundred
millions.
1t has been definitely settled that the
funeral service will be conducted by
DIR. Paxton, assisted by Chancellor
McCracken, of the University of New
York, and Roderick Terry, of 100 Mad
ison Avenue. 1t has not yet been de-
cided where the burial will take place.

Fighting in the Streets cfMadrid.
Yesterdayin Madrid was a day of un-
interrupted tumult and apprehension.
Thousands of men did not so to work
at the usual hour, but waited in groups
at street corners near the centre of the
CITY, They were joined by 9 o'clock by
crowds of loafers, anarchists and row.
dies. Thousands gathered at the Ru-
erta del Sol and began shouting against
the ministry and the municipal author
tiles. The police tried to disperse them,
but were repulsed. Red and black
flags were waved as the police retreat
ed and cheers for anarchy and the rev.
olution were given. Reinforcements
were called, but before they arrived
most of the crowd had drifted into side
streets. At 2 O'Clock the crowd gather
ed again, Il 900 or $1,000 strong:
Black flags were more numerous and
many of the men were armed with
clubs.
The crowd surged up to the steps of
the home office, shouting Down with
the government "Down with the
city thieves "Crush the upper ten
thousand !" "Give us our rights !" etc.
The building was closed and a call was
sent out for military and police protec-
ton. Before troops arrived the cry TO
the Palace !" was raised, and the mob
started down the Gale del Arenal,
shouting, singing and waving flags.
Stones, clubs and pieces of metal from
workshops were thrown through the
windows on both sides of the street, re-
spectacle citizens were thrown down
and trampeled or compelled to join the
mob, and several shops in the side
streets were forced open and plundered.
When half way TO the plaza before the
palace the rear end of the mob was in
tercepted and dispersed by police. who
broke in from side street with drawn
sabres. The struggle between police
and people lasted about ten minutes, as
the men fought stubbornly with what
ever weapons they could find. Two po-
licemen were knocked senseless with
stones and two market women who had
Joined the mob were cut down with sa-
bres. Meantime the foremost part OF
the mob reached the open space before
the palace. They shouted for Justice

try and the Spanish municipal official
who were ste ling the peoples money.
A body of mounted police charged
upon them and after another struggle
dispersed them. Several persons were
injured in the fight and twelve rioters
were captured. Crowds continued to
gather in the open spaces until II
o'clock. Mounted police moved in
squads through the city and dispersed
them as fast as they assembled. The
uneasiness felt by the Weather classes
is little less than panic. The police
and military are prepared for more
trouble to-day. The bitterness against
the government is intense among the
laboring and artisan classes. The
change in the ministry of the interior
apparently will accomplish nothing TO-
ward averting cabinet crisis, as popu-
lar feeling against the whole present
government is so thoroughly aroused
that it can be allaycd only by the re-
tirement of the cabinet in a body.
