THE CHADDOCK CASE.
Attempts to Run the states Witnesses
Out of Town.
SpSeiaE TslsOrdsn 10 the R6ytstsr.

Special Telegram to ths Register.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 3O,-A
trial Of Elmer Chaddock for the murder
of VIM. Pollen, an account OF which ap-
peared In the REGISTER at the time,
will probably be hastened by outrageous
and criminal attempts to run the States
principal witnesses out Of town. The
Miles woman, in whose house the mur-
der was committed; Lizzie Michaels,
another woman, little girl, sister OF
the Miles woman; Charles Miles, a
brother of the Miles woman, and
Stewart, the owner OF the property
where they live, have all been approach
ed, and threatened with indictments If
they did not leave. Stewart was threat
ened with indictments by somebody and
says he was strongly advised by the al
torney for the defense to drive the Miles
crowd off. Elmer Chaddock's friends
have been interesting themselves very
strongly and have laid themselves liable
to indictments, but the cap sheaf Of the
outrage has turned up in letter deco
rated with q skull and crossbones ad-
derssed to Sadie Miles, threatening
her with all vengeance and terrors OF
White Cap or vigilance society IL she
did not leave or modify her testimony
The government OF the United States
will now take a hand in the affair, and
an inspector will soon run down and
arrest the scoundrel who wrote the let
ter, as it is not probable that he will
find any difficulty in locating or identi-
flying the author. These attempts at
evading justice and saving
cold biooded murderer are bring
ing about general opinion
that the sooner the case is tried and
disposed Of the better. There is pretty
good evidence already Obtained which
will probably cause a sensation when
certain arrest is made, and the people
will not be backward In their expression
OF opinion. l understand that the
Judge Of the criminal court offered to
call special term to try Chadd0ck
few days ago, but the prosecutor didn't
seem ready

TWO MORE STRUNG UP.
A Mob Of 800 Lynch Two North Carolina
Negro Brutes.


COLUMBIA, S. c., July 3O.-Two ne
groes, who committed an assault upon
Mrs. SightIer, of CASTOR, were lynched
to-day. Will Thompson, an oVergrown
16-year-old negro, was caught near COL
umbia and taken to CASTOR early this
morning where his captors were
met by a mob OF 200
people who were joined by 3
hundred men from this city. Thompson
confessed that he and Tom Preston and
Andy Kaigler, all colored, committed
the crime one week ago. The crowd
proposed to nail him up in turpcntine
barrel and burn him, but instead
he was hung to a small tree. Before
the hanging, Arch Sightler, husband o
the woman, laid fifty lashes upon the
wretchs bare back with heavy buggy
trace, every blow bringing blood. When
he got tired, another man took his
place and continued the whipping.
Thompson could not yell, as the rope
around his neck choked him. After
the hanging a hundred men fired
into his body with pistols, shot
guns and rifles. Hardly square
inch of his body escaped a bullet. At
IL O'Clock Preston was captured eleven
miles from Garston and was taken to
the scene of the early morning tragedy.
Here all the horrors Of the Thompson
lynching were re-enacted. Preston was
stripped and pinioned to the same seal
fold which had served for Thompson.
Arch Sightler, with the same heavy
buggy trace, beat the unfortunate
wretch, and when he was exhausted the
whipping was continued by others OF the
mob until the negroes entire body was
mass OF bleeding flesh. At 1 o'clock
after Preston had regained conscious
ness, he was swung up to the same limb
Ia which Thompson had been hung four
hours before, and his body was riddled
with bullets. Preston declared his In
nocence to the last.

policy for which the Republican party
has struggled for twenty years fully
vindicated by the votes Of Democratic
Representatives. The sherman law re-
pealed uncondltlonally leaves silver at
the mercy OF its enemies. A majority
OF both Houses Is Democratic and
fearful responsibility will rest upon
those Democrats who aid in giving the
enemies OF silver all they want and that
is the unconditional repeal OF the Sher-
man law. The Sherman law is not re-
sponsible for existing conditions. 1t Is
a perverslOn Of that law, and not the

AN INTERESTING STORY
In Connection With the Failure OF the
Eimira National Bank.


NEW YORK, July 3O.-The Herald
tells an interesting story in connection
with the failure Of the First National
Bank Of Elmira, n. Y. After the
failure three notes aggregating S54, ,OOe
turned up among the assets. All Of
them bore q New York date, and all
were made on the same day. One was
for $1,000 made payable on demand TO
the order Of the Elmira National Bank,
aud signed by George K. Israel, and
the others, made in the same form,
were signed, the first for $4,000 by
II. S. Roll, and the second for
Sl0,0 900 by f. NJ. Mollenhauer. These
notes, IL is stated, were deposited in the
ElmirA bank by Col. ID. c. Robinson,
Mayor OF that city, and son OF the
late Ex-Governor Lucius Robinson, and
discounted by Cashier Bush. Col. Rob-
lnson was large stockholde= In the
bank. The identity Of the signers OF
the three notes was matter OF the
deepest mystery. Bank officials came
TO New York TO learn who they were and
the extent OF their financial responsible
ty. Their names could not be located In
New York directory nor their trading
In commercial agencies. AT last their
identity has transpired. They are clerks

responsibility, and simply to accommo'

"Tbe most gigantic trust the world

Nonal bOUd-issuing aud si,yer-0Oycot-
ting syndicate. The most colossal con-
splfacy the world has ever known Is
the present one, originated and guided

scheme is an attempt TO enslave the
whole world, and DO a wholesale manner

"The first step in this international
plot on the part Of the usurers will be TO

Of bonds as a means Of relief.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July S0.-The
advance guard OF members Of the Fifty
third Congress coming to attend the
special session, which will begin a week
from tomorrow, are at the capital.
There are not many, and the prooaoil-
tiles are that but few Congressman will
BE in the city before next Saturday.
Among those who have arrived the
opinion seems to be unanimous that the
Sherman law must and will be repealed
or at least the silver purchasing clause,
but what shall follow is an unknown
quantity.
one Of the early arrivals is Repre-
sentative Geary, Of California, known
fame 10 connection with the Chinese
exclusion legislation which bears
his name. tie said:
81 am opposed 10 the so-called Sher-
man act have always been. lt Is
vicious, and time does not improve II.
The sooner it is repealed the better for
bhe whole country. or course some
subsequent legislation Will be neces-
ssry, but I am not prepared 20 say
what it will be, because al this time /
ont know. l am satisfied that the
Sherman law will 20, and that in its
sead we will have something Of benefit
instead OF harm.
Another equally interesting and I'M
uortant congressional character is Sen
ator Quay, Of Pennsylvania, who said,
in reply 10 a question on the prevailing
topic: II think the silver purchasing
clause Of the sherman acV'shOuld be re-
Dealed. That seems TO De the consensus
of opinion from those who know most
about that iuant Al situation, l would
be satisfied 10 have Congress adjourn
that having been done until the regular
time of meeting"

mands. They took steps, however, to
inform NJ. Pavie, French minister resi-
dent, now at Koh-Si-Chang, Of Slams
acceptance OF the utimatum and the
consequent action OF to-day's council.
The conference OF the ministers was
prolonged by discussion OF the steps
which might be necessary in settling
the boundary question by France and
Great Britain. A certain amount Of
difficulty is expected TO embarrAss the
part Of the negotiations. Another cab
met meeting will be held on Tuesday,
when an effort will be made to have all
