Algerian Lynch Law.

Lynch law" has been practically estab.
lished in Algeria with the moral conniv'
ance Of the authorities. This primitive
state OF things has been brought about
owing to the lack Of judges and gen
darmes. The other day an Arab. who
had assaulted and slain a little girl near
Constantine, under circumstances of afro
cious cruelty, was followed by some Of his
indignant fellow countrymen. seized by
them and flung over precipice before the
police could interfere. In the space OF
eighteen months eight criminals-some OF
whom were convicts returned from Cay
enne-have been shot for murder and rob
berry without the benefit OF trial by jury.

Three hours later the buggy was found

the robbers were blacked to look like coal

But what excited most astonishment
were the coats of mail found in the buggy
These were breastplates strong enough to

found to III snugly over the chest being
IL by IL inches, and perforated at each cor

There was also Il heavy rubber life pre-

things or in their haste. as they also had
their overalls.

there was IA big picnic party Oh the train

NOT IN OPERATION YET.
The Gamewell System Waiting on
the Time Card.

The Gamewen System Waiting on
the Time Card.
The Gamewell system is still imperative
at police headquarters, aud will remain so
until the time card, on which Assistant
Chief Killourhy is working, has been fin
ished. This card will be so arranged that
each officer will send in his alarm at a
different time, and thereby avoid the con-
fusion which prevailed the first night. Citi
zens will not be SO anxious TO be furnished
with keys when they learn that whenever
they pull box for the police to make an
arrest they will have to appear next day in
the police court as prosecutor.
Now that the Gamewell system has been
put in there is room for an improve
ment in police usages relative to fires. The
custom for years whenever fire alarm
is sounded, no matter what time
OF night it may be, is to pull a
squad of police out of bed and trot
them of to answer the alarm without
knowing whether its services are needed.
In the majority of cases the fires are out be-
fore the police get to them, and there is no
need for them but this is no consolation or
comfort to the men whose sleep has been
broken into.
A suggestion has been made that when
ever policeman sounds a fire alarm here
after he should go to the nearest police box
and telephone the sergeant o. duty whether
the fire warrants the bringing out of the
police fire detail. II this were done many
an unnecessary walk would be saved the
policemen. Chief Green will consider the

He Refuses to Approve the Petition

New Trisl-If 1t Is Refused by the
Superior Court the Case Will Be
Taken to the Supreme Court-The
Negro Had Rather Be Hanged Than
Go to the Penitentiary for q Long
Term.
Old John Webb, the condemned murderer
OF Ananias Hill. who was sentenced to death
nearly year and a half ago, stubbornly
refuses to allow his attorneys. George A.
Mercer, Jr., Esq. and j. Ferris Cam, Esq,
to petition Gov. Nortben for a Communication
Of the sentence to life imprisonment, al
though a numerously signed petition was
made up several months ago.
Webb insists on trying to get new trial,
saying that If be is successful he believes
that he can prove to q jury that he was
justified in killing Hill aud will be ac-
quilted. He says if the courts refuse him
a new trial he would rather be hanged than
go to the coal mines for life.
It ia hardly probable that either fate
will be- Webbs unless his case is
disposed of soon. The old man is

on account of his long confinement, been
becoming more frequent aud OF moro vio-
lent character recently.f The jail officials,
while watching the prisoner closely for
these attacks, will not be surprised to fad
him dead In his cell any morning.
In accordance with Webbs desires,
Messrs Mercer and Cam will take the case
to the supreme court il the superior court
refuses q new trial.
The other prisoners in the jail awaiting
death on the gallows are Isaac Simons, the
murderer of Punch Hagans, and Jim Gay
aud Gus Williams, the murderers OF August
w. Meyer. .gAansw trial has been asked for
Simons, and will probably be argued to-
day. II 1t is refused, his attorneys,
Champion q Germany, will take the case
to the supreme court.
jim Gays attorneys have also asked for a
new trial for him, but IL will not be argued
until after sentence of death is passed
upon him next Saturday. it is hardly
probable, in the event or q refusal, that
Gays case will go any higher.
Gus Williams is the only one of the con-
demned muEderersrffor whom no appeal
had been made. The limit of time has ex-
pired and none can now be made. He will
get his death sentence next Saturday, and
nothing viii save him from the gallows ex>
oept the Intervention of providence or the
Interference of Gov. Northen, the latter not
being very likely.
