TALK OF LYNCH LAW.
Intense Excitement Over the Commu
tation of Four Murderers.

Intense Excitement Over the Commu-
tation of Four Murderers.
CHEsTERTowN Md, Jan. u.-Intense
excitement reigns in Kent County. Four
of the octet of murderers who assassi-
mated DR.. j. II. Hill, were removed from
this place. Their sentences were com
muted by Governor Brown. Those whose
lives were spared are Henry HURT,
Joshua Barnard, Charles Emery and
Lewis Benson. Those who are left, and
who will surely hang Friday, if they are
not lynched before, are Charles Brooks.
Moses Brown, Fletcher Williams and
F'risby Comegis.
When the populace learned this morn
ing that the sentences were commuted
and the prisoners were taken away, ex-
citement and indignation amounting al
most to madness followed. Remarks
were made that it would be dangerous for
the Governor to be seen about the city.
Crowds gathered in the neighborhood of
the Jail and all places of public resort, and
discussed the matter in loud tones. Lewis
Justice, prominent merchant, appeared
to voice the sentiment of the populace
when he said: 81 should not be surprised
if the other four were lynched tonight.
You can hardly realize the pitch of ex-
element to which the people are worked.
II the secret had leaked out last night the
police would not have had an easy job to
get the men away"
NO LYNCHING LAST NIGHT.
CHEsTERTowN Md Jan. 1.-THE ex-
treme cold weather prevailing tonight
apparently had a chilling effect upon the
enthusiasm OF those citizens who through
out the day most loudly proclaimed that
the lynching Of the four remaining mur-
derers would be the only proper rebuke
TO administer to Governor Browns inter
ference in the programme arranged for
Friday. At the jail everything is quiet,
but it is known that Sheriff Plummer has
well-drilled guard of men behind its
| door. 1t can be safely stated that no at
tempt at lynching will be made tonight.

DENVER, Jan IA special dispatch
confirms the mining accident near Como
The news of the accident spread like a
flash over the little town of King, and
rescuing parties were at once organized.
A telephone call for assistance was also
sent from Como. Danger was to be feared
from the gas yet remaining in the mine,
but adventurous leaders braved the way,
and were heroically followed by miners
and citizens.
The bodies were found in the chamber
where the premature shot exploded, or in
its immediate vicinity. Evidently the
victims were killed outright by the ex-
plosion, or knocked senseless by the
shock and asphyxiated by the deadly
gases. The bodies were found in all sorts
of agonizing positions, in many Instances
lying crossed or clasped together.
The slow work of carrying the dead to
the surface was then commenced Mean
time the shaft was surrounded by crowds
of women and children, relatives Of the
miners. The heart-rending scene may be
imagined when body after body was
brought and laid by the side of the others.
When the identification commenced
about 300 people were at Kings and the
heads of all families employed in the
mine. which gives work to about 200
men.
The room in which the explosion oc-
Cured has been sealed up and will not
be opened until the State Inspector of
Mines. who left this morning, arrives at
the scene of disaster.
Following is a complete list of the
killed: John Toll, fire boss: Robert
Blythe, fire boss; Francisco Pomerain,

Los ANGELES, Jan. 1.-THE boldest
safe explosion ever attempted in this city
occurred at $40 this morning, at the
Office of Haywood Bros. 81 Co.'s furniture
store, S57 to 663 Upper Main street. The
building is a brick, three stories high,
fronting on Main street. The lower floor
has a partition which runs through the
center of the store. The Office stood on
the southwest corner of the store. The
rooms dimensions are 20xl4.
The burglars entered one of the rear
windows. All must have spent much
time in getting things in readiness. They
bored hole three-fourths of an inch in
the safe and forced in ten pounds pow
der. They cut down the large rope of the
elevator, bound it about the safe, placed a
coil of telegraph wire on the top of the
safe, put in fuse and extended it fifty
feet in the rear of the building, then they
lighted it, The explosion was some-
thing deafening. The detonation shook
the people out of their beds in the vicin-
ity. Windows and doors were crack ed
and broken.

The street looks as though an earth

made their escape. over 5000 people
visited the scene this morning. Only

Two Men Killed ana Considerable
Property Destroyed.
SPOKANE (Wash.), Jan. ia terrific
snow-slide swept down a mountain side
last Wednesday in the kaslO SLOGAN dis
trict, killing two men-Martin Flaherty
and James Switzerland running consid-
cradle property. The Freddie Lee mine,
where the men were working, was al
most in its path. Much snow had fallen
IN the mountains, and rain began to fall.
Three days before the accident expert
enced miners anticipated a snow-slide,
and preparations had been made at the
mine to avoid the danger Mr.. Springer,
the foreman, had ordered the blacksmith
shop removed to the mouth Of the tun-
mel, and instructed Flaherty and Switzer
to sack the ore in the tunnel.
The blacksmith was getting his tools to-
gether when he heard muttering sound,
which instantly grew into a roar. He
broke into a run for the mouth of the
tunnel, shouting to the other men that an
avalanche, was upon them. Just as he
entered the tunnel the snow-slide swept
by. The men were missed Immediately
afterward, but no trace of them was found
except their hammers and a few sacks
which were lying outside the tunnel.
1t is supposed that Flaherty and Switz-
er ran out of the tunnel to see what was
the matter, and before they could return
were caught in the avalanche, and that
their bodies are in the gulch below the
mines, covered over with $50 feet of snow.
1t will be impossible to recover their re-
mains before spring.
The blacksmith shop, woodshed and
ore-house were swept away. Near the
mouth Of the tunnel were 400 or 500 tons
Of second-class ore, which was carried
down the mountain.

CROKER AND HILL AT OUTS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-Nen are whisper
ing startling rumor to each other in
Albany tonight. Boss Croker and Sen
ator Hill are out" says the Heraids
Albany correspondent The caustic crit
icism made by the Tammany leader on
the Senator's presence and action during
the meeting Of the Electoral College has
not been forgotten. 1t is asserted that
Croker repeated this condemnation to
several political friends at the Governors
reception, and said bluntly that Hill had
done the Democratic party deadly in
jury. However this may be, it is certain
the machine magnates have had a serious
difference among themselves.
how far the resentment of Croker to-
ward Senator Hill is likely to go no one
cares TO predict. but it is taken for granted
by politicians that the big combination
was broken by the Senator. They also
believe that Murphy will refuse to be
made tool Of by his associate in the
United States Senate. 1t is said New
york intends to honestly support Cleve-
land, and that policy of pacifcation will
be adopted toward him from now on by
Iammany. If looks very much as if
the future action of Murphy is under
stood, and in any further opposition to
Cleveland the senior Senator from New
York State would get but little backing
