kept from scoring at all during the drst

small when Andover got the goal and
stretching out remarkably should
Brown hold the pigskin. Only
once did Andover carry the
ball into Browns territory but only to
move IL, and in two rushes IL was again

following with another nearly as long.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Notice OF
objection has been filed on the county
clerk to the nominations made by the
ntLSheehan democrats for senator in the
Both district and for assemblyman in the
1st assembly district. The grounds of OBJ

name the candidate on either Of them for
the offices named, and does not give their
name or residence or place of business;
that the certificate was made by one

that such designation should have been
made by the voters themselves; and that
the statute does not empower the voters
to delegate the authority Of nomination to
said DAILY or to any other person.

they cannot Ego about killing white
| people" as one of the members of the
mob put i'm.
The lynching was conducted very
| quietly, and not a shot was fired dur
ing the enti-e proceedings.
In the meantime the real murderer
is at liberty and his brothers, who died
to save him the fate which they met,
win soon be resting in unmarked
graves-heroes of peculiarly distinc-
tive type. The darkness which brooded
over the place, only family lit up by
the young moon, made the experience
of the night one to be remembered.
Hidden deep I'm the obscurity were the
relics of the butchered men swinging
in the night wind, while all about the
silence lay undisturbed. Man had
come and gone and these were
the only traces he had left of
his horrible handiwork There is
general belief in that section that
the murder Of Judge Espinolt was the
carrying out of a preconceived plot.
The judge had been very strict in his
rulings when the negro tough element
of the parish were brought before him
to answer charges made against them.
1t is believed that Julian precipitated
too hastily what might have been con-
certed to be carried out later on; or it
may be that the others of the negro
parties to the plot became weal-kneed
at the last moment and left Julian to
act by himself. The fact of the muir
derer having been SO well stocked with
ammunition would justify the belief
that this or some other more desperate
deed had been preconceived.
Judge Espinolt once saved the life
of Julian. The part he took in poll
ties at the last election was displeas-
neighborhood, and they were taking
him out in wagon to put an end to
his life. The dead judge interceded
and Julian was allowed to come back
to Jefferson parish. A negro named
Houston was in opposition to Espdnolt
for the place held by the Judge at the
time of his death, that of judge of the
fifth justice court of jefferson parish.
Julian was supporter of Houston, as
were nearly all the negroes, and since
Houston's defeat there has been bad
blood between the opposing parties
and trouble has been expected for a
long time. Julian was Houston's chief
lieutenant.
The judge could have saved his life
by taking hold of the hand in which
the pistol was held, at the time he was
first shot, but on account of being near
sighted he did not see the pistol.
During the search for Julian on Sat-
urday one branch of the posse visited
the house of negro family in the
neighborhood of Camp Parapet, and,
failing to find the object of their search,
tried to induce John Willis, a young
negro, to disclose the whereabouts of
Julian. He refused to do so or could
not do SO, and he was kicked to death
by the gang.

A Spanish Town Inundated by p Cloud
Burst, and Scores of Persons Drowned
i'm Their Homes.
Madrid, Sept. 16. = The town OF
Villa-Canas, in the province of Toledo,
has been devastated by floods, and a
large number of lives have been lost
Heavy rains had fallen in the pro-
vince, and the town, which is situated
on rather low ground, was inundated.
The people had no thought of danger,
though the many small streams in the
vicinity of the town were rapidly swell
ing and threatening to overflow their
banks.
A dispatch from Villa-Canas says
sixty dead bodies have been recovered.
Many more are believed to be hidden
by wreckage or to have been washed
from the town.
Many of the deaths were caused by
the flooding of the cave dwellings on
the outskirts of the town. These
dwellings are holes dug into the
hillside almost on level with
the plane. They are occupied
by the poorest families. The
lower caves were filed at the first ris-
ing of the food and the occupants were
drowned before they had time for an
effort to escape. Other caves were
but half filed, and the families in
them still await rescue.

Tales OF Great LGzs.
MILWAUKEE, Sept 16.-Dispa tches
yesterday morning from score of
northern Wisconsin cities tell stories
of great loss by forest fires. Marsh
field, Junction City, Dexterville, Prem
tice, Spencer, Medford, Rhinelander,
Stevens Point and other towns with a
population of 1000 to 5000, are sur
rounded by flames, and are in great
danger of being wiped out.
Everything between Babcock, Wood
county, and Necedah, Juneau county,
on the Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul
railroad, is burned. Dexterville is
threatened with anihilation. Hun
dreds of scattered dwellings, known to
be in the path of the flames, are doubt
less burned.
Every square mile of the vast tim
bered district of Wisconsin is as dry
as tinder, no rain having fallen for
weeks, and the flames are sweeping on
without check. The losses cannot, of
course, be estimated, but are doubtless
in the millions. The district already
swept by the fires and that still threat
ened include nearly one-third of the
state.
Wisconsin is to-day overhung by
pail of smoke reaching from Lake
Michigan to Lake Superior and from
the extreme eastern border OF the
state to the Mississippi.

GOLD BULLION MISSING.

A Shortage In the Vaults of the Philia-

sand Ounces.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Acting Mint
Director Preston yesterday morning
confirmed statement that an exam
ination of the vaults in the Philadel-
phia mint had disclosed shortage of
more than 5000 ounces of gold bull
lion, valued at s134,O The vault in
which the gold is short had when it
was sealed in 1887 about s16,000,0 900 in
gold bullion.
d. M. Fox was superintendent of the
mint at that time. and o. S. Bosbyshell
succeeded him in November, 1889, re-
ceipting for the gold in the sealed
vault without weighing it. The short
age was discovered only on Tuesday,
when the vault was opened for the pur-
pose of coming the bullion.
The superintendent of the mint at
Philadelphia is under a bond of $780,
600, and some of the wealthiest men in
the city, including George w. Childs,

The Facts In Regard to the Robbery OF
Bullion from the Philadelphia Mint
Officially Stated.
WASHINGTON Sept. 16.-The treas
ury department has made public the
exact facts in relation to the reported
loss of gold bullion from the mint at
Philadelphia, as follows:
''On account of the demand for coin
a vault in which some SO, O0O, 900 was
stored in 1887 by Mr.. Preston during
the term of Mr.. Fox as superintendent
and which was receipted for by Mr.
o. G. Bosbyshell without weighing,
was opened, on the Sth inst, and the
bullion reweighed by Mr.. Morgan and
found to be thirty bars short, valued
at about s134,O0O
''Mr. Morgan Immediately reported
to the mint bureau the result, when
he was directed to return to Philadel-
phia at once and reweigh the bullion.
On the second weighing it was still
found to be short.
Since this bullion was stored in the
vault the weigh clerk, an old employe
at the mint, had sole charge of it, and
circumstances indicated that he knew
what had become of the missing bull
lion. He was charged with its embez-
element, and he finally admitted it; he
furnished ninformation as to where
800, 900 of it was secreted, which was
recovered yesterday, and more will be
recovered to-day, as he has expressed a
willingness to give it up, but as to how
much cannot be accurately stated, but
probably between ZOO and $1,000. 1t
is believed at the treasury department
that the government will lose nothing.
This statement is made in order to al
lay all sensational news"
The name of the implicated official
is Henry S. Cochren. He has been in
the mint over forty years on salary
