Three Negro Murderers in Danger IN
Eastern Tennessee.

Three Negro huTucTcIS ih
Eastern Tennessee.
Chattanooga, Tenn, special: The sheriff
and citizens here are somewhat exercised
over rumors that Il mob is advancing from
South Pittsburg, twenty one miles over the
mountains. to take three negro murdcrcrs
from iail there and lynch them. The muir
derers are Floyd Woodie, John Turner, ana
Cal Collins. guilty of the brutal killing OF
old man George Lawson. The prisoners
were first placed in Jail at Jackson whore
an angry mob gathered and were only in
duced to disperse on positive assurance OF
the sheriff that the evidence against the
negroes was overwhelming and that they
could not escape hanging. Subsequently IL
was though prudent to remove the prison.
ers to Chattanooga Jail. Several attempts
to lynch them from the Jail have been made
in the past, but never with success. and
the sheriff is confident that he can remain
master of the situation. One OF the ne
uroes made IL full confession OF the murder,
duplicating his two fellow prisoners lie
says he cut the old mans throat and they
crushed his head in with rocks. Public
sentiment even in Chattanooga Is not
averse to lynching such fiends should they
escape on trial.

yALTABLE ORE DISCOVERY.
A Find in WisconsiE Which is Believed
to Equal the Mesaba.

10 tne MesdDAs
West Superior, Wis, special: There is
every indication that the history of the dis
covery of the Mesaba iron range is to be
duplicated in Wisconsin Iron ore in pay
ing quantities has been discovered near the
town of Gordon, Douglas County, and the
work of developing what is expected to
prove an important addition to the iron
country of the Lake Superior District will
begin at once. Some time ago options on
nearly 1000 acres Of land in the vicinity
mentioned were quietly purchased by
Duluth and Superior capitalists from
Minneapolis. The option has expired
and it is understood that check for the
property has already been paid over. The
capital necessary to purchase the options
was secured by W. f. Brace, in whose
hands the matter was placed after the find
was made. Among the Superior men in
tere>ted are r. j. Wemyss, vice president
of the land company; W. F. Mates gen.
eral manager of tho Iron and Steel Com
pany, and Martin Pattison, who is the
owner of the fee of the Pioneer and Chamd-
Ter, the two most valuable mines on the
Nermillion range.
The story of the finding of the mine is
very similar to the romantic tale of the
opening of the Mesaba. The ground had
been explored and an unfavorable opinion
passed. Accident revealed the truth Re
gently an explorer had his attention called
10 the dirt clinging to the roots of tree
tern up by the wind. 1t was the new ore
which he found. The syndicate which ac-
suired the options consists of men backed
ly almost unlimited capital.

The Enrageu Animals CharSe upon tne
Spectators, Injuring Many.
Saltillo, Mexico, special: Hinjo Panoca
the mayor of the town Of ArteagO, about
forty miles southeast Of this city, arrived
here after a hard ride across the rough
mountains. He relates thrilling story OF
an accident tina: occurred at Arteago, and
the object Of his visit was to secure medi-
cal aid for the unfortunate victims.
Arteago is town OF about 1000 inha bitants
situated in the midst Of an almost impene-
tratable range of mountains. The popula-
lation is II ade up Of cowboys and goat
herders almost exclusively. The fall fiestas
were opened there and were to have been
kept up for ten days. A feature of these
fiestas has been the bull fights the animals
in that mountainous section being noted
throughout Mexico for their ferocIousness
and fighting qualities. Two or three eX-
hibitiOn fights were given during the week,
but the grandest event was postponed un-
til that afternoon, when there were to be
four wild bulls turned into the ring at the
same time. The matador. or slayer of the
bulls was to be Manuel Lopez, daring
Mexican vaquero. At p. N. there were
about $500 spectators in the amphitheater,
around the arena. The banderilleros and
matador took their places and the bulls
were turned in. The scene was full of ex-
cltement and the crowd was furnished with
plenty of amusement by the activity Of the
banderilleros in keeping out Of the way Of
the enraged animals. After working up
the bulls into a state of great frenzy Lopez
set in to kill the first bull, He gave the
animal a thrust between the shoulders with
the sword, but the wound did not prove
fatal. The believing and wild capers Of
the wounded animals stampeded the other
bulls, and they made united rush against
the heavy barrcade which was intended
for the protection of the spectators. The
barricade gave way and the bulls rushed
frantically into the crowd of people, who
were thrown right and left by the animals
horns In their excitement the spectators
rushed to one side of the amphitheater to
escape the fury of the bulls. This caused
the seats to give way, and full fifty people
sustained broken limbs and several inter-
nal injuries. The bulls killed one man and
wounded ten others.

realizes that it would be better for all con-

and have the latest and most costly de-
vices for saving fuel and power. The
projectors are confident that there
would be no difficulty in selling all the
power that they could furnish, even
after the canal was enlarged to It's
fullest capacity, as it would offer an
attraction to manufacturing enterprises
all over the country.
1t is claimed that this would be the
largest water power in America, next
TO Niagara, and even that is not being
developed to a larger extent than is
proposed to do with this. Minneapolis
develops only 16, 900 horse power at
low water, and its users are frequently
compelled to resort TO steam.
1t is claimed that the canal could be
built and put in active operation in
year, but double that time is allowed by
the engineers. 1t is stated that the
public will hear from the incorporators
officially before the end of the year and
that facts and figures will be presented
that will make the people who have
been ridiculing the idea of 4 Platte

Professor Elisha Gray's telautograph Is

Writing Telegraph Company. Alderman
ONeill introduced an ordinance Monday
evening granting the company the right to
use certain streets and alleys for the LAYING

design OF the company to use the telauto-

that 1t would form one Of the most interest

built near Highland Park for the purpose
OF making the telautographs. The device,

day. What twenty-five years ago was a
muddy, sloppy city, without any standard
grade Is now the best and most regularly
graded and paved city to be found in the
East
With the improvement in the city Itself
elegant houses have been built. The munich
palIty covers over 1000 acres Of land and
there are 5000 acres In parks or public
grounds, which are beautifully kept. The
streets are lined with handsome trees. Tie
small parks are at the intersection of the
avenues with the streets. All about tho
outskirts are large parks, while on the south
side OF Pennsylvania avenue, which con-
meets the Capitol with the White House,
there is one continuous park more than a
mile long, the botanical garden, the Smith
sonian grounds. the agricultural gardens
and the Monument Park or Mail.
In every park are statues, many of them
OF great value, and the most of them of fine
design and workmanship. The statue of
General George II. Thomas Is regarded as
one of the very finest, although that of Ad-
