HAS JOINED THE PROCESSION.
The Prairie State Bound to BE Up-tO-Date
in .sCiyiI:zation"

in Civilization.
SPRINGFIELD, June 5.-Govelnor Alt
geld is going to try to do the impossible
that is to punish the men who are so thor
oughly civilized that they do not need
judges and juries, but can execute justice
themselves, making the process much
cheaper and good deal more effective-so
far as killing the prisoner is concerned
than can be done by the courts. There
was little matinee at Decatur the other
night, and negro who was charged with
rape was taken from Jail and hanged ac-
cording to that popular American institu =
ton the mob.
And now here comes Governor Alleged
and orders the prosecuting attorney OF
Macon county to prosecute the men who
took part in the amusement, and offers
500 reward for the arrest and conviction or
each man in the mob and the prosecuting
attorney declares he will obey the COVER
nor's orders, AID that there will be no diff
ficulty in identifying the parties as there
was no attempt at disguise. There are
few back-number and not-up-to-date clti-
zens who think that strong guard at the
Jail would have done more in behalf of
old-fogy law and order than hundred in
dictments would do now, as there isn't the
slightest chance of convicting anybody
There was no lack of warning at Decatur,
and yet but very moderate provisions were
adopted to. vindicate the majesty of
great state.
The mob that executed the "higher law"
was composed of Mount Zion farmers,
The negro protested his innocence to TIE
end. He had stripped himself when he
heard the uob and hid in his mattr ess. So
he was naked when he was led to his death.
When the CHASTITY deed was done the mob
said: God morning, sir" to the corpse
and laughed at the joke. Hundreds of
Decatur people looked on, the reports say,
"attracted by a desire to see a lynching."

Later news is that the plymouth presents
an appalling spectacle. Women and child
rem are gathered around mo mentarily eX-
peoting to see the shriveled corpses
of their loved ones brought out.

first instance. from Piedras Negras,
has arrived upon the scene and Immediate
" ordered the arrest of George Spence,
the time leading the men to the succor
the entombed miners With characteristic
stupidity they arrested the very man who
could do the most towards remedying the
affair.
Cause of the Disaster.
The disaster was caused 10y the careless
ness OF boy who attended to one of the
inside doors in allowing the door to ignite
and then running out of the mine without
alarming the miners. AS near can be
ascertained from going over the roll OF
men there were thirty men in the mine at
the time of the fire. Up to the present only
two bodies have been recovered.
Not a Man in the Mine Alive.
Judge Valdez has stopped the men from
continuing the work, and the other corpses
cannot, therefore. be recovered now. 1t ia
known that none of those who were in the
mine can be alive, so it is only question
of recovering the bodies for Identification
