ONLY FOUR WILL HANG.
Four Negroes Respited by Msryland's Gov.
ernor-Threats of Lynching the Others

CHEsTERTowN, Nd, Jan. 11.-Intense
excitement reigns In Kent county. Four
of the eight murderers who assassinated
DIR. ). III. Hill have been removed from
this place. Their sentences have been
committed by Governor Brown. Those
whose lives are 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 Frisby Comegys.
Sheriff Plummer was awakened at $3.50
o'clock this morning and informed that
Captain Cad wailader. of Baltimore, was at
the door with thirty policemen and al
order from Governor Brown for four of the
condemned prisoners, whose sentence had
been committed TO life imprisonment. II
eharge you" the order went on to say. ito
% careful that secrecy is preserved. and
that these men are delivered instantly
aboard the vessel which goes for them. and
safely conducted to the Maryland peniten-
tiary. Caution your deputies that secrecy
must be observed. and that nothing must
interfere with this order" The criminals
were carefully awakened and In q few
minutes were on their way to the ice-boat
La Irobe. the vessel on which Captain
Cadwallader had arrived. few persons
came to the wharf as the La Trobe steamed
away for baltimore. but they did not know
what had happened until hours later
Excitement and indignation amounting
almost TO madness followed this discovery.
Remarks were made that it would be dam
gerous for the Governor to be seen about
the city. now that the murdsrers had been
committed. Crowds gathered in the neigh
borhood of the Jail, and In all places of pnb-
lie resort and discussed the matter In loud
tones. There seemed to be but one opinion
that the eight men should have been
hanged. Lewis Justice. prominent
merchant, appeared TO voice the sentiment
of the excited populaee when he said: IL
should not be SURPRISED il the other four
were lynched tonight You can hardly
realize the pitch of excltement to which
the people are worked. Ii the secret bad
leaked out last night the police would not
have so easy job TO get those men,"

EMPLOYERS MUST HAVE CAUSE.
Employe Who Was Dismissed. with Reason,
Awarded Damages and Back Salary.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 11.-A special jury in
Judge Fishers court to-day decided that
an employer damages the business char
acter of his employe by summsrily dis.
missing him without cause. as it created o
suspicion of inoompetency that made it
more difficult for him to secure another
job. and the Glendale Quarry Company
must, therefore, pay John Boland. its for
mer superintendent, S2,9S4.25 for damages
and salary after his discharge. BoIand
had been employed a year by verbal con.
tract, but one day last August the company
informed him that he was not needed In
their employ any longer. No cause was
assigned, but il afterward transpired that
It was to make room for q relative of one
of the stockholders. The special Jury was
impaneied at the request of the quarry
company.

BLAINE IMPROVING STEADILY.
Marked Change for the Better in the Condi-
tiOn OF the Suffering Statesman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Ever since his
terday morning Mr.. Blalne's condition has
improved steadily. and in way that has
surprised the watchers at his bedside. 1t
was said to-day that 1T would be almost
impossible to conceive of q greater change
for the better than had taken place since
yesterday. All callers at the house to-day
were answered in the most cheerful tone,
and it was evident that the members of
the family. while not daring to hope for
any permanent improvement are yet very
much encouraged by tho change. This was
shown to-day by the fact that several men,
bers of the family were out enjoying short
walks in the brisk cir.
DR.. Johnston stated to reporters this
afternoon that Mr.. Blaine had had q very
comfortable morning. and that his condi-
tion was about the same as yesterday.
NO better. DOctor7" was the query.
"Iiis condition was quite comfortable yes
terday." was the reply.
Will you state anything of the futurei"
was asked.
mo; will not" was the terse response.
The men with the street piano were again
to-day at their post in front of the residence
OF the invalid and rendered several Irish
jubilee tunes. and received their requital
from the attendant at the CLOSE of the pot
pOurri. The musicians returned at 6
O'Clock this evening, and after they had
concluded the usual repertoire Mr.. James
q. Blame. Jr., oame out of the house and
rewarded them. At s o'clock Mr.. Blaine
was said to be a little better.
DR.. Johnston paid his good-ng ght visit to
Mr. Blaine shortly before 10 o'clock. He
remained with the patient about q quarter
OF an hour. and, on leaving the house, said
10 a reporter that Mr. Blaine had passed an
'uneventfuI day and YVES resting easily
tonight" Dr. Johnston's confidence in
the condition Of his patient is shown by
the fact that he will not visit b i'm again to-
night

a thrilling account of the chase and escape
of the prisoner while en- route to the

armed with WInchesters, the man under
arrest remarked that he had rather die
than 10 be placed in Jail and convicted of
an otfense that would be punishable by i'm

ANOTHER CABINET CHANGE.

Minister Buraeau Forced to Retire Under
Suspicion of Panama Teint.
PARIS, Jan. 11.-There was o strong feel
ing in the Chamber of Deputies to-day as
we'll as among the general public that Nj.
Ribot had not yet sufficiently purged the
Ministry of those who, whether innocent
or guilty have been under suspicion In con-
nectlon with the Panama scandal. 1t is re-
membered that the most serious evidence
given before the Panama committee of
inquiry, in the early part oe December. was
that of NJ. Ferdinand Martin, who made
some very grave accusations against q
number of public men. NJ. Martin. accord
ing to his own statement. acted for the
Panama company in much the same capac-
ity as the late Baron De Reinach, though
the sums placed at his disposal for the pur-
pose of bribery were not so large. Ito
declared that NJ. Burdeau, the Minister
OF Marine, and NM. Baihut and Granet
had constantly received money from the
Panama company. His authority fer this
statement, he said. was III. MarIus Fontane.
one OF the prosecuted directors. With re.
gard To this statement 1t must be said that
MN. Burdeau. Baihut and Granet alb
solutely denied that they had been the re-
cipient of bribes. and demanded to he heard
bv the committee, in order to repel these
accusations. These denials appeared to
have been adopted as satisfactory. and the
fact that no further evidence developed
against Nj. Burdeau had been regarded as
establishing the falsIty OF the charges
against him. Nevertheless, the view was
generally expressed that 1t would have
been better To have had Ministry COM
posed of men against whom no charges
whatever had been made. The public de-
mand is strongly for o thorough investiga-
tion without any hampering influences and
for Ministry free from the breath of
scandal
In reference to this overwhelming public
demand for further reconstruction of the

versa.ion with Admiral Gerysis. chief of
