LYNCHERS OUT AT ORLANDO
Their Plans FOiIed By the Sheriff
and the Militia.

The Mob Bent On Lynching Walker
Who Was Acquitted of the Charge OF
Numbering Marot on a Doubtful AL
ibi-The Mob Composed of Citizens
of Good Standing,
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov l2.-For nearly
a week past young man named
Walker has been on trial at Orlando for
completely in the murder of old man
Marot at McDonald's station in June last.
Yesterday he was acquitted on a rather
doubtful alibi. An Orlando special to
the Times-Union tonight says: ''The
sequel to the acquittal Of Walker yester-
day occurred late last night, when mob
went to the Jail and attempted to
gain access, apparently intending to
shoot Walker in his cell All the after
noon excited men gathered on the street
corners and discussed the verdict. After
nightfal men began collecting from
the neighborhood of the crime-gen-
orally on horseback and armed with
shotguns. A little before IL o'clock they
raided the foundry aud captured a num-
Der Of sledge hammers and crowbars and
started for the Jail, intending to beat a
hole in the wall and gain access to tho
corridor, whence they could readily shoot
the prisoner.
THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
"Sheriff Anderson hurriedly gathered a
few men and prepared to guard the iail,
while he sent word to Judge Bryan to call
out the militia.
"The mob came up, expecting no resist
htrf h.yF Il al.
They were determined, but lacked a
leader. Meanwhile, they were talking
and planning and trying to get past the
sheriff and his few assistants without
violence, but they were hampered by the
lack of head.
suddenly Lieut.. A. G. Hart, OF tho
Shine Guards, with eighteen privates and
nOn-commissioned officers, arrived on the
scene. The men fingered around for
some time, 10th to give up their object,
but after the Guards arrived all attempts
were useless. About o'clock this morn
ing the mob dispersed. The Guards re-
mained under arms till morning and con-
sidered themselves subject 10 call still,
The jail is thoroughly guarded, but no
one expects any further attempt at Vio-
lence
GOOD CITIZENS IN THE MOB
"The mob was composed not only of the
best citizens out on the line of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad, but
many good citizens of Orlando They
made no attempt at concealment. and
probably at no time did they much exceed
IA hundred men. There is some talk OF
having them all before the county crimi-
nal court, which meets tomorrow, but il
is doubtful il IL be done.
1T Is highly probable that Walker will
be tried before that court on some charge.
Every one believes him guilty Of murder.
Even some Of the jury say that they only
gave him the benefit of the doubt"

NO FUSION IN ALABAMA.
Populists, Koloites and Democrats to
Have Tickets in the Field.


Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 12.-The
chances are that the populists will not
fuse with the Jeffersonian democrats or
Kolb men in this state in the coming
elections. The platforms of the two par
ties are rather close together and both
are working to common end to defeat
the organized Democratic party in the
state. 1t has been a foregoue conclusion
here that the two parties would fuse
inns impression was dispelled to-day,
however, when uthe Populists announced
Lhat at a county convention, held here
Iast night, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resoyed, That the delegates from this con-
Eention be instructed to support no man
from another political organization for any
STATE oihce save that of the populist party.
DISCUSSION on THE RESOLUTION.
There was some little discussion on the

A MEXICAN LEADER JAILED.
He is One of the Most Dangerous
Revolutionists in the Republic.


Matamoras, Mex. Nov. IA great
sensation has been created here by the
telegraphic announcement from the City
of Mexico, that Gen Juan G. Coertina,
one of the greatest revolutionary leaders
OF Mexico, has been arrested and impris-
oned in San Juan de Ulloa prison by or
der of President Diaz for at
tempting to incite another revolutionary
uprising against the government The
city of Matamoras is Gen. Cortina's old
home and stamping ground. Twenty-Five
years ago he was the most desperate and
greatly feared man in Mexico. He ruled
the Rio Grande border country from
Laredo to the mouth of the river and was
IN the revolutionary business as a means
OF gaining livelihood.
HIS INFLUENCE ENORMOUS.
His influence was so great that he could
lnaugurate powerful revolutionary move
ment against the Mexican government
by single prouunciamento with his sip
nature attached.
His exploits during the civil war caused
the United States government to lose
many thousands of dollars.
When President Diaz' revolution
ended in success Gen. Cortina was sum
moned to the City of Mexico, where he
has been kept in constant surveillance by
President Diaz ever since, to prevent him
from inciting further revolution. He has
made his home in the capital where he
was furnished with a pension sufficient
to live in good style. but his every move
ment has been closely watched by Presi-
dent Diaz' agents for fifteen or twenty
years.
A CUSTOM HOUSE TO BE ATTACKED.
FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 12.-The city of
Juarez, in Mexico, is in the greatest ex-
cltement, and the military and civil au-
thOrities are busily engaged in arm
ing the citizens with all the
weapons obtainable. The cause of
the excitement is due to information
received from Juarez through the mill
tary commander and the commander of
the frontier customs guards of
that city that the custom
house will be attacked by the revolu-
tiOnists, detachment of whom captured
the custom house at Las Palomas, ninety
miles west of here, last Tuesday The
revolutionists, or "Orronunciados, or
"PronunciadOs, " several days since issued
a prOnunciamento against the Mexican
government, and distributed it among the
border states of the south. This fact
became known to the government. but no
attention was paid to the matter until the
aJJack ana capture OF the custom house
at Las Palomas, which was a complete
surprise.
The authorities have information that
the revolutionists are now on their way
to Juarez from Las Palomas and are about
500 strong, while there are other small
parties continually joining them from the
mountains to the south and west. The
fighting force at Juarez consists of three
cavalry troops, sixty-fve mounted Gus
toms guards and something over 300 dep
uty policemen all under command of Col.
Zuberkerski of the Eleventh regiment of
cavalry.

Two Tallahassee bachelors, both anx-

best in that direction, claim they have
agreed upon q novel plan to economize in
the matter. They are each to pay half
the cost of a wedding suit, which is to be-
made to fit the first one ready to take
this important step in life, and the other
is TO wear it as his wedding suit. AS one

ing burned until nothing was left but a
few bricks. The aged mother OF

son to believe that they were blown to
atoms.

ONLY FIVE NEW FEVER CASES.
Another Warning to Refugees-Busi-
ness Beginning to Pick Up.

hSAA A9SElAu4hk 10 Glch Ops
Brunswick, Ga, Nov. l2.--Five new
cases of fever were reported to-day, none
of which are white. The colored patients
reported are: Lena Stewart, Lucy Ford,
Rosa Ford Virginia Mitchell and Ma
linda Mcintyre.
Eight patients were discharged, none
of whom are white: Those discharged
are; Arnista's child, Alice Ford, Charles
Crew, Lucy Persons, LORD Lanier, Queen
Walker, Lizzie Barlow and Emma Davis.
There were no deaths.
The official report shows 1873 patients
under treatment A careful review by
the attending physicians of cases reported
and overlooked in discharging patients
will doubtless reduce this number. From
partial canvass Of the practicing physi-
clans the conclusion is reached that not
over 100 patients are now under treatment
The weather shows no favorable change
REFUGEES NOT WANTED BACK.
Resolutions were passed to-day by the
health board urging refugees not to re-
turn until an announcement that IL Is safe
to do so is issued by the board and marine
hospital service. The resolution includes
a statement which is true, as proven by
the records, that three refugees who
evaded the quarantine rules have been

JEsUP's DISTINCTION.
Jesup, Ca, Nov 12.-The situation is
still unchanged, and as the weather re-
mains fairly cool no more cases are looked
for.
The fumigation OF the bedding of all
the fever patients was successfully accom-
plished by o'clock last night. The dis
injecting car and engine with the crew,
returned to Camp Detention this morning

Garter, accompanied by DR. Lincoln, made
the rounds in buggy of all the houses in

tients for the purpose of finding out
which required fumigation. They were
all found, with one or two exceptions, to
be in an extremely good sanitarycondition

LYONS LAMPBLAoK FACTORY.
How it Caught Fire-other Fires That
Have Occurred in the Town.

Lyons, Ga, Nov 12-As stated in
dispatch of Yesterday, the lampblack
factory at this place is a thing Of the
past. For It's size Lyons appears to have
more than its share of fires. About two
years ago one of the hotels, known as the
Thompson house. was burned. Next,
the finest residence in the place
owned by II. G. Odum and occupied by
G.. X Guerroy and family, was laid in
ashes. Next was saw and grist mill
and cotton gin with about seventy-five
bales of cotton, the mill and gin belonging
also TO II. G. Odum Recently the still Of
the Lyons Turpentine Company was
burned, and now comes the lampblack
factory, belonging to the same company,
with a loss of S215 or $500. 1t seems that it
must have taken fire by igniting the
heated gas that had accumulated in the
main building.
1t is not known whether it win be re-
built or not Neither the furnace nor the
condensing chamber is injured.

HERBERT WANTS BATTLE SHIPS.
The Supply of Cruisers Sufficient for
Several Years

Washington, Nov. 12.-Secretary Her
bert believes in the necessity of powerful
fighting ships for the United States navy.
His views on the subject arc well known,
and it is understood that his forthcoming
report to congress will embody recon-
mendatlon that an appropriation be made
for at least one, if not two battle ships
The last report made by Mr. Herbert,
as chairman of the House naval commit
tee, contained a strong argument in sup
port OF this proposition, and it is gener.
ally understood that since he accepted
the naval portfolio he is more firmly inn
pressed with the belief than ever.
NO MORE CRUISERS NEEDED.
1t seems to be equally certain that so
far as cruising vessels are concerned the
secretary believes and this belief is
shared by his principal subordinates-
That the present number will be sufficient
for several years More fighting vessels of
the type of the Iowa and Illinois are
needed to give the navy the offensive
qualities necessary for first class power.
and this fact Secretary Herbert will en-
deavor to impress on the naval law
makers. The limited revenues of the
government will, mo doubt, beurged by the
economists of the House as an argument
against any naval increase next
session. and heated contest
over the proposition is looked for.
TORPEDO BOATS ALSO WANTED.
Secretary Herbcrt's recommendation
for battle ships is likely TO be coupled
with a suggestion that half a dozen tor
pedo boats are also needed as valuable
auxlllaries in time Of war Our present
supply Of the craft is very limited, and it
is hoped that authority will be gwen to
construct these whether the appropria-
tion FOR the battle ships is carried or
not.

A SPLIT ON THE TARIFF.
The Democratic Members Find it Hard
to AgIee on Reductions.


Washington, Nov. 12-It appears that
the chief embarrassment of the ways and
means committee is come, not from the
articles upon which the specific adva-
loren duties are to be reduced. but
from the articles that are TO
be put on the free list. 1t had
been generally accepted up to
quite recently that the democratic
party was united on the proposition of
putting coal, wool, iron ore, salt and lum-
Der on the free list, but the latest devel-
opments have indicated that this is not
the case. They have also indicated the
wisdom of the committees policy in keep
ing the details of the tariff bill a secret
from the public and the manufacturers
until the measure is ready for introduc-
tion.
FIGHT AGAINST FREE WOOL.
Representative Culbersou and other
Texas members have already begun their
opposition to free wool. and they are like
ly to receive substantial announcement
from the Ohio members and the repre-
sentatives of the grazing sta tes of the
west.
Several Alabama representatives are
protesting against the proposition to
place iron ore and coal on the free list.
The extensive lumber states, both of
opposing free lumber, and the argument
is being freely made that the only effect
of placing lumber on the free list will be
to throw open the American markets to
Canadian lumber for the next ten wears
and ruin the lumber industry for that
period in the west and south without any
compensating benefit to the builder and
consumer.
FREE SALT OPPOSED.
The Michigan members will probably
oppose free salt to man, as
ative Whiting, of the ways and
means committee, will contend that
the effect Of placing salt on the free list.
will be only to give the English salt man
ufacturers monopoly of the American
markets and close up the American works.
Statistics are to be presented to show that
the English salt manufacturers can. if the
duty be entirely removed ship salt from
Liverpool to Chicago and afford TO sell il
to the western packers at lower figure
than the Michigan salt men. The New
York agents of the foreign manufacturers
are paying special attention to this sched-
ule, and the question of free salt is des-
tined TO be one of the most hotly contested
issues in the House.
Altogether the lot of Representative
Wilson and his colleagues of the ways
and means committeeiis not a happy one.
With score or more of influential gen
tlemen demanding a caucus for the con
sideration OF the tariff bill and various
other matters. declaring that they will
not vote for the measure if it makes dras-
tic reductions on articles in which their
constituents are interested, the difficulty
of securing democratic harmony on the
measure being evolved by the ways and
means committee is every day becoming
more apparent.
