TIE TROUBLE IN BRAZIL.
A Furious Bombardment of Rio ia.
neiro Expected Hourly.

A Furious Bombardment of Rio Ja-
neiro Expected Hourly.
LONDON, Sept. 2l.-Private advices from
Rio Janeiro says furious bombardment
is expected hourly. The only reason the
bonn mbardment was not commenced yes
terday was that negotiations were in
progress between the rebels and the Gov
ernment, undertaken at the instance of
the foreign Powers and foreign warships
who wished to save the city from de-
struction.
1t was not believed the negotiations
would amount to anything; in fact, it is
believed the Government was merely
prolonging them to allow the non-com-
batants 10 get away and the merchants to
save their goods.
The statements of yesterday are con-
firmed from several sources, and the at
tempt of the Brazilian Minister here TO
belitlie the rebellion are not accepted
with any credence in London. The peo-
pie Of Rio admit the rebellion has pro-
gressed to such an extent that it is better
to let the city fall into the hands of the
insurgents than to be shelled.
The rebels at Rio are in communication
with the insurgents in the south, and all
are acting in unison. After the success at
Santos they propose to attack Porto Al
legre and Rio Grande do Sui. In fact,
the insurgent vessels are said to have al
ready started on that errand.
There is no doubt the rebels are meet
ing with success. In fact, report that
they have occupied Rio is in circulation
here this morning.

CAPTURED BY THE MOB.
Negro Smith Lynched and His Body
Cremated.

Negro Smith Lynched and His Body
Cremated.
ROANOKE (Va.l, Sept. 2l.-The negro,
Thomas Smith, who assaulted Mrs.
Henry Bishop last night, was lynched
this morning. After last nights fatal
encounter with the militia, the mob con-
tinued to search for the negro, found the
place where he was secreted, took him
from the policemen. and hanged and
shot him in the residence part of the city.
Coroner Gray and a jury repaired early
to the scene of the lynching, and after
viewing the body entered verdict that
the negro came to his death at the hands
of persons unknown to them.
After the inquest the officers were Or
dered to take charge Of the body, but the
Surging mass OF men assembled would
not let them touch it. A coal cart pass
ing near by was pressed into service and
the body thrown into it. 1t was then
hauled to Mayor Trout's residence, it
seemingly being the intent of the mob to
bury it in the front yard. At this mo-
ment Rev. Campbell appeared and
dissuaded them from carrying out their
plan; then they took the body to the edge
of the river to burn it. Fences were torn
down, store boxes taken and some one
with an ak cut down several cedar trees
near by. The dry wood was laid in a
large pile, and on the heap the negro's
body laid, on top of all the cedar boughs
were thrown, and then. just before touch
ing the match, two gallons of oil were
poured over all. A match was touched
to it and the flames shot rapidly up. 1t
was aRawful sight. Not long before the
crowd disappeared, but all morning men
and sometimes an occasional woman
were seen going toward the place of burn
ing. All remaining of Smith at noon
was few ashes, and here and there a
bone, but the fire was still burning All
those standing around said it should burn
till there was not vestige left.
Mayor Trout, who was wounded in the
foot last night, was carried to the Ponce
de Leon Hotel, but owing to the threats
of the mob he was moved from there to
the country, where he still is. Acting
Mayor Buckner has assumed control, and
has suspended the Chief of Police and
several officers.
The Coroner's Jury was in session all
day investigating the cause of the tragedy
but has not yet completed its labors. The
town is quiet tonight. The streets are
almost deserted.
Eight men were killed and twenty-five
injured last night.

So Rules Superior Judge Minor of
Modesto.
MODESTO, Sept. 21.-A few days ago the
jury in the DR.. lyman probate case failed
to agree as to the death of the missing
capitalist. To-day Superior Judge
Minor rendered decision declaring that
dence, and discredited c.. III. Hallett's
story about lyman being in the mount
aims of Utah. He did not think the rail-
road ticket purchased at Sacramento at
the time OF Tynan's disappearance,
signed L. E. Stanley, was used by lyman.
To-day Judge A. Heawel, named as
executor by DIR. lyman, qualified and his
name was substituted for that of the
missing man in the proceedings for the
distribution of the estate in the case of
Mrs. WoodsideS and Mrs. Fuquay,
daughters by a former marriage. Evil
dence will commence on Monday next.
ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR THE ESTATE.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2l.-A stranger
from Callao, Peru, has arrived in San
Francisco to set forth the claim that he
and his brother are the only living blood
relatives of DR.. Thomas E. lyman, who
mysteriously disappeared from this city
October 10, 1892. His name is John
Thomas lyman. ''My reason for believ-
ing that am the DOCTORS nephew" said
the claimant from Peru, sis that my
father had brother, Thomas e. lyman,
who suddenly left his home in Ireland
when he was about Is years of age and
came to America. Since then we have
never heard from him or of him, but on
seeing his picture published in paper
which reached me in Peru, | was struck
by the remarkable resemblance between
him and myself, and also between him
and my brother" He also says he does
not believe lyman is dead.
Have you any idea where he is," was
asked.
ST have pretty good idea where he is,
for / have been conducting some cor
respondence with friends in the old
country, but do not care to tell what I
know just yet. My brother is we'll
known New Yorker, who at one time
was prominently identified in Irish poll
tics. He is now in the employment of
the Government i'll the New York Gus
TOMS House,"
1t was learned that the elder brother
was suspect in the troubles which led
to the Phoenix Park assassination. At
that time the English Government was
so bitter against lyman that spies harassed
him until he sought refuge in America,
and the United States Government de-
cIined to surrender him. All who have
seen the photograph Of the New York
lyman, with beard worn almost the
same as that of the Modesto doctor, be-
lieve that the two men must be related.
This photograph has been in possession
of Captain /. w. Lees OF the detective force
of this city since 1882, when the British
Government was searching for lyman.
