crowd commenced congregating and it
soon became apparent that justice
would speedily DO administered.
The train reached tho yard about 0:15
o'clock p. m., and was met by mob OF
between 300 and 500 people. As soon
as the prisoner was identified there was
cry OF '"to tho. court house." The
officers in charge Of tho prisoner made
4 show OF resistance and de-
manded that they be allowed
to lodge their man in tho

and the excited crowd, which had. now
increased to thousand or more persons,
soon had the murderer in their poses.

the court house steps. A ropc was
soon displayed and cries OF "hang him"
were raisod by q thousand throats. Tho

say ii he were guilty. lie claimed that
he was innocent.
A rope was speedily placed over tho
cross arm OF telegraph polo immedi-
ntc!y in front OF the court house and the

forth, his feet in the air and his BODY
riddled with bullets. The execution
took place in the full glare OF several

swung from side to side cries OF Lynch
Culbert Harris, his accomplice," were
heard. Arush was made for, tho. iail in
the rear of the court house, and men
with axes commenced breaking inthc
windows. They soon effected an
entrance and the guilty Harris
was quickly pointed out by the
other prisoners. He urged to be heard
but his words were not satisfactory.
Hang him, hang him." was. the cry
and no was quickly taken to
the front OF tho court house and
another ropo was secured. AS the

A few months ago the East River Savings

order to test the matter n suit was begun by
County Treasurer Adams to compel the East
River Savings Institution to take the bonds.
Tho question was argued before the General
Term OF the Supreme Court. and yesterday u
decision was handed down in favor OF the
county and UNFOLDING tho validity OF the
bonds. The Court finds that the water
bonds OF the city must be counted
in determining the limit OF. 10 pcr
cent. Of the, city property. and that The
cent each on the assessed valuation Of the tan
able real estate within their respective Dor
dcrs. and In determining tho taxable real es-
tate Of the county the real estate both OF tho
city and tho towns must be included Tho
amendment in the Constitution altering the
power to create debts was aimed at largo cities
that under the constitutional provision the
city and tho county each may incur debts TO
the extent Of 10 per cent. OF the assessed value
OF the taxable real estate within 1t; that tho
county may when necessary. and WI hen 1t IS
the amount OF S48.OUO.OOO and that the bonds
suit. to the amount OF $500. 900. were all valid
The case will now 60 to the Court OF Appeals.
