the wretched negro was dragged. An
other man who favored hanging began
climbing the stump, but twenty leveled
shotguns made him descend in jiffy.
Fastened With Iron.
Without more ado the negro was then
made secure to the stump with iron
fastenings, and kerosene was poured
literally over him. A shout went up
Mrs. Jewell set the fire." In response
to the call Mrs. Jewell emerged from
the crowd, and her appearance was
greeted with cheers which almost shook
the ground. The crowd fell back at her
approach. making pathway for her.
Leaning upon the arm or a male
relative on either side, Mrs. jew
ell walked unhesitatingly forward to
where the negro stood piniOned, struck
a parlor match with her own hal&l and
with perfect deliberatiOn fired the
negro's clothes in two places. In Sec
ond the poor wretch was one mass of
consuming flames, but even in death his
wonderful nerve, exhibited ever since
his capture, never forsook MIN, and
while suffering the tortureS of fire he
actually called to the men of the assem-
bly,, aud in clear voice reQu ested of

except TO groan and grunt, and died in
about twenty minutes after the appli-
cation of the torch.
The crowd which actually witnessed
the burning could not have been less
than 1900, and was probably 5000.
Only about twenty minutes before Coy
was led out to utiou the Republics
correspondent was accorded an inter-
view with him. The negro said he be-
lieyed that he was going to be put TO
death, but was innocent of the crime.
His denial was. however. given in such
manner as carried conviction of
guilt with it. While the event
is confessedly horrible affair,
it is justified by large majority of the
people of this section, on the ground
that desperate disease requires all
heroic remedy. and that hanging has
not as great terror for the average negro
as death by fire. Quite a number of
persons favored hanging, but these were
in hopeless minority, and were easily
ridden down by those whose desire it
was to strike terror to the hearts of
negroes by making Coy an awful ex-
ample, and these thought fire the only
proper instrument as death. Tonight
everything is comparatively quiet, and
no troubleouS results are feared. The
negroes generally favored hanging. but
have little fault to find that fire was re-
sorted to.

LUVERNE's COUNCIL ROW.
This Time Quo Warranto Proceed
ings Are Asked For.

Special to the Globe.
LUvERNE, Feb. 20. Attorney Cen
eral Clapp has been asked to begin quo
warranto proceedings to test G. w.
Millhouse's title to the Office of village
trustee. This is part of the war in the
village council, growing out of the con-
structiOn of our water works. The
council has stood to on all questions
for several months. One of the major
ity desired to resign, and a special
meeting of the council was called dur
ing the absence from town of one of the
minority. The resignation was accepted
and Mr.. Millhouse was elected to the
vacancy. The minority now make the
point that special meetings can only be
called by a written notice signed by two
members of the council and filed with
the recorder as the law provides, which
was not done in this case, nor could it
have been done, as the recorder was the
absent member. Nor has a special
meeting of the. council been held for
years which had been called in accord
ance with the legal requirements. The
quo warranto proceedings can hardly
be completed before the present coun-
Gil goes out of office.

Ice jam Busted in the Allegheny
River.
PARKER, Pa, Feb. 20.-The great ice
gorge which has caused feelings of ap-
prehension along the Allegheny river
from East Brady to Emlenton, dis
lance of twenty-nine miles, for nearly a
week, broke here at o'clock this morn
ing, and by daylight all the ice had
passed out. The water rose rapidly,
inundating the upper end of Parker
and several houses on the banks wer.
washed away, but the occupants ha
deserted them before the flood came
Beyond this, no damage was done. The
Allegheny river is now comparatively
clear of ice, but the Clarion Is still
gorged, and the people will not rest
easy until it is also clear. The water is
nineteen feet and rising every minute,
and grave fears are entertained that
with the breaking of the Clarion gorge
the fats or entire lower portion of the
town will be flooded. A dispatch from
Brady'S bend reports that the gorge at
that point broke at II :O5 this morning,
and all the ice in the Allegheny river is
now moving.

f. d. Day, well-to-do and prominent
merchant of Hurley, who swore that a
few days before the robbery Baker went
to him to negotiate for an interest in a
big company, and that few days after
Perrin approached him and asked him
to swear that Baker had a big roll of
money on that day. This caused the
defense some uneasiness. The next
witness was Charles Seaman, of Lake
Geneva, who played Perrin in the same
manner as Lou Thayer worked Baker.
His testimony was chiefly against Per-

From the New York Tribune
Grover Cleveland's nomination is a
fraud-or else he is. One or the other of
these conclusions is absolutely necessary,
and either is fatal to his candidacy. If he
believes as his idolators say he does, if he
will execute as they promise he will, he is
no more representative of the party which
has presented him than is Gabriel of the
legions of sin. If he does not so believe
and will not so administer, If he is really
Democrat, then he is not the man who is
being held up before the country as pat
tern of political virtue. In any event, of
the suggested Democratic candidates, he is
the weakest. If all is true that is claimed
for him personally, it constitutes no rea-
son why he should be preferred to Benja-
min Harrison. If he believes in civil ser
vice reform, so does President Harrison,
and behind Harrison is party which en-
acted the reform law and created and now
sustains the machinery by which the law
is enforced, while behind Cleveland is a
party which hates and despises the reform
and loses no chance to strike at il. If he
believes in an honest and equal currency,
so does Benjamin Harrison, and behind
Harrison is party which has always been
the party of sound finance, while behind
Cleveland is party which in the last three
years has declared for free silver in 81
state platforms and in two congresses has
voted for free silver bills with substantial
unanimity. If he is honest and and reso-
lutte and patriotic, so is Benjamin Harri-
son, and behind Harrison is party which
respects and follows him, while behind
Cleveland is mob of demoralized factions.
All that is claimed as characteristic of
Cleveland is proved of Harrison, and the
likeness ends at the place where the Dem
ocratic candidate challenges the industrial
interests of the country to fight to the
finish, while the Republican candidate
promises a continuance of that golden
prosperity which his present administra-
ton has secured.
