At Least Actor Hunt Says 10 Suits Him
Quite Well.

At Least Actor Hunt Says 10 Suits Him
Quite Well.
This has been a week OF surprises at
Lothrop's Grand Opera House. The work
OF last night capped the climax. Jay
Hunt was given a stupendous floral an
chor.
1t was the biggest thing In flowers ever
seen on stage, being six and one half
feet high. 1t was made by O'Rei.ly and
contained 1880 pinks, 25o roses, 200 sweet
peas and 700 ferns.
II was presented during the second act,
and Mr.. Hunt had the breath knocked out
OF him.
The Veteran Firemen were present on
invitation OF DIR. Lothrop and Mr..
Hunt had planned neat sur
prise for them, having stolen the
Hay Cart from its house and ringing up
the curtain on 1t during his pleasant
speech of welcome.
Only two or three Of the vets knew the
'masheen" was on the stage and when the
red shirted firefghters saw their idol
they jumped up and cheered with will.
Mr.. Hunt thought he had spoken his
peace finely and started to back OF the
stage as clipper as could be, when In came
the enormous anchor.
Major Crocker made pretty speech to
him and Mr.. Hunt made a feeling
reply. He had been from Oregon
to Florida and from the provinces to the
Gulf OF Mexico but Pawtucket was the
onIv pIace IN live in
Then the tears began to we'll up aud he
gracefully finished.
He was also given pair of gold bowed
eyeglasses and Kelly Il Taylor had q
beautiful basket of flowers, with more
"fxin's" In hand.
Little Charlotte was given a handsome
floral basket bp Robert Kendall and Fred
DeVere and Manager Smith also came In
for present from the "vets" in the shape
of flowers and picture OF the Hay Cart.
Then "My Best Girl" had to take q
back seat while Capt Lothrop tried
unsuccessfully to find out who stole the
Hay Cart, after which the play went on,
the audience being kept In roar by Mr..
Hunts hits and o. Reilley's black cat.
After 1t was over Mr.. Hunt entertained
the Vets and others at the Benedict
House.
The beautiful floral anchor was photo
graph today with Little Charlotte.

WAS he GUILTY.
Miller Lynched For the Murder Of the Ray
Girls-..He Proved an AbI.

BARDwELL. KY, July g. Whether
guilty of the awful crime with which he
10 charged, or not, Lea j. Miller, the
negro arrested at Skyeston, Mo-, for the
murder Of the Ray girls, has paid the
penalty for 1t. He was dragged from the
Jail at o'clock yesterday afternoon by an
infuriated mob whose purpose 1t was to
burn him at the stake. That he was not
burned alive seems to have been due to the
very fury of the mob that killed him.
The only evidence against Miller was
circumstantial, and a strong plea made by
him when it was decided to burn him at
the stake convinced many that they might
not have the right man after all.
It was decided that 1t would be less terri
BILE to hang an innocent man than to burn
him. The mob hanged the wrong man.
He made . statement to show an alibi,
which was proved to be true after he was
hanged The people say they think it was
better to have hanged him than to have
burned him under the circumstances.

STARS TO REORGANIZE.

An Excellent Team Has Been Selected by
the Management.
The Star Base Ball team, known all over
New England as one of the best amateur
teams that Rhode island has ever seen,
has been reorganized and prospects arc
very bright for successful season.
The record OF the Stars Is one to be
proud OF and this year the team Will step
into It's old place at the head of the column
and, as usual, lead the procession, but
not without every point being disputed
by opposing mines.
The team is composed mostly of students
and among those who will wear the Star
uniform Will be Murphy, Hussey,
Maroney, Fahey, LAWN and Burke. They
are stars. The first game will be played
one week from today and the team will
probably meet the Hopes, Foresters' Day,

The tone In business circles has percepti-
bly, improved This 10 partly because
banks have been rendered more hopeful Of
an early financial settlement by the cali
ing of an extra session Of congress, partl,
because Of some recovery In prices from
the sudden depression which followed the
decision to close India mints, and partly
because crop prospects have clearly i'm
proved in spite Of dismal reports from
some sections. On tue whole there has
been little better distribution of goods
to consumers, and perhaps the counter
manding of orders given some months ago

RAILROAD LAND GRANT.
Secretary Hoke Smith Afhrms the Former %.
eIsions q the DepartmsnL


WASHINGTON, July e-The celebrated
Guilford Miller case, which involves the
right Of so many settlers on railroad
grants, has received another official ruling
upon the motion for review In the case OF
Charles Cole VS.. the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, which involved the
ruling OF the department In the case of the
Northern Pacific railroad vs.. Guilford
Miller. Counsel for the railroad asked
that the decision In the case be oyerruled.
Secretary Hoke Smith has affirmed the de-
cision Of the department heretofore rem
dered In the last named case so far as It
held that the statutory withdrawal pro-
vided for by the sixth session Of the act Of
July =. 1854, to the Northern Pacific Rail
road company upon the fling Of the map
OF the general route, became effective in
July 30, 1870, was fled and approved, and
that said withdrawal once exercised was
thereby exhausted and could not DO re-
pealed.
The secretary holds that the second
fling, made Feb. el, 1872. In said territory,
was without validity Of sanction or the
law, either Is an executive or legislative
withdrawal. He further held that the map
of July 30, 1870, for the territory, was the
result of surveys and explorations made
for the purpose of determining the proper
location Of the road. and indicated with
certainty that 1t was the intention of the
company that the route thus designated
should be the general route contemplated
by the act. upon which the Legislative
withdrawal should take effect. As the
case Of Cole is controlled by the ruling
upon the first proposition, 1t was consid-
cred unnecessary to pass upon the ques-
tion as to the right Of the secretary to
Withdraw lands within the territory limits
Of this road after the definite location
thereof, and hence no decision was made
upon this point.

THE sLAcKSToNE'S BANKS

Contrary to the general expectation
Coroner James Brennan Is proceeding
with the inquest on the death of James A.
Farley, who was killed on the railroad at
Valley Falls on Saturday night. At the
recent meeting OF the Cumberland Town
Council Mr.. Brennan was retired from the
position of Coroner and David Alexander
was named as his successor. Mr.. Alex
ander, 1t is stated, has refused to qualify,
and the burden Of inquiry into the causes
OF mysterious deaths still rests on
Mr.. Brennan. Why Mr.. Alexander
should decline to assume the duties of
an office which he Is understood to have
sought puzzles most people. But In all
probability the work can be done by Mr..
Brennan, and so no harm will rest from
the almost Coroner's deciination.

1t is supposed that at the time he disap-
peared he had $3.50 or S4U0 in his pocket,
and some of his friends fear that In order
to get possession Of this money some muir

Developments yesterday in this myste-
rious case only resulted In disclosures
which tend t. strengthen
The Theory of Fonl Play.
His cousin, Walter Il. Barton, visited
Johnson's boarding house, at 27 Warren
avenue, and, with an officer, made a thor
ough search of the trunk and effects of the
missing man.
In his trunk were found nearly all Of
Johnson's valu BILE papers, including a
book cont lining receipts for a large
amount of money in "A building corpora
tion, in which it was known that he was a
large investor.
IF johnson had skipped out and lef; his

reporter last night
So far as il Is known there WIS no pos
sible reason why johnson should 20 away.
He had business which was paying him
a handsome income. and to which he had
devoted all of mis- time and attention.
1t was n common expression among his
friends that John would always be a
bachelor. He never cared for the COM

with his prospective bride, and when Wis

once said he was looking forward to a
pleasant heme OF his OWE and a loving

There was no reason for johnson to 90
away, and. unless he has been drowned
while out boating, the theory Of murder
seems very probable. This mystery has
caused great deal Of talk, not only in
Boston, but also In Somerville, where he
had many friends.

sided on a farm one and one-half miles
distant from this place. She was barely
dressed and almost frantic with the start

Citizens who hurried to the homestead
found an awful spectacle of wholesale
butchery. The father lying In his bed, the
mother In the kitchen where she had been

spectively l3, IL. and 10 years, and one 2
year-old boy lying stiff and stark, where
