A NEGRO LYncHEo.


At Bardswcll, Kentucky, Seay j. Miller,

der OF Mary and Ruby Ray, was hanged FRI
day afternoon and the body burned after be-
ing horribly mutilated. The negro made 3
speech proclalming his innocence, but 1t Is
said he afterwards made partial confession.
The crime with which Seay WAS charged
was a terrible one. The girls, 12 and l6 years
old, went out In the woods near their home
TO pick berries. Their mother hearn scream
and went out to see what was the matter.
Both girls had been outraged and their
throats had been cut blue coat was the
chief clue to the murderer. He was trailed
across the river into Illinois. There Seay
was captured as the man and brought back
by an excited ibrong of men. II was at first
the intention Of the mob TO burn him at tho
stake, hut the father OF the girls opposed 1t.
and lie was hanged. His body was afterward
mutlatcd and burned. The evidence that be

WIND STORM IN CHICAGO.
Four Persons Drowned In tho Lake.
Great Damage to the Fair
Rutldinps.

a furIous wind and rainstorm swept over
Chicago between s and 6 O'Clock last Sunday
evening and caught many craft on Lake
Michigan. Four persons are known to have
been drowned and in several cases boats were
capsized and narrow escapes from drow ming
were had. BY the capzing of the sailing
yacht Chesapeake, near the life-saving sta
ton, nine people were thrown into the water
and four of them were drowned. Their bodies
were not recovered.

who were In the captive balloon had close
call. The basket was filed with people
when. at the limit OF height, Captain Miller
noticed the storm cloud approaching rapidly.
Instantly he seized the signal flag and sIgnaled
the lookout to draw In rapidly. Down came
the balloon, and none too room. With crash
and roar the storm dashed through the trees
OF South Park. As the basket touched the
ground the passengers were let out and as the
last anchor was made fast the wind struck it.
With succession Of cracks the giant silk
covering was rent completely In two. The
strong cordage, which had covered the silk
with network, snapped as though II had been
Of thread. The balloon parted, one half
blew one way and the other half another. II
all happened so suddenly that no one had
time TO think. The loss Is about $35 900.

considerable damage to the different build

damage, principally in broken glass, was

The greatest damage was done TO the French
section and the New York state exhibit, the

Deputy Warden Russ Tells of Its Burial
Under the Laundry Floor.
The general impression that the
skeleton of Guiteau, President Gar
fields assassin is on exhibition in a
medical museum, which has been in
existence ever since his death. has
been removed by the statement of
Deputy Warden Russ of the District
Jail. He says:
For long time prior to the execu-
tion strenuous efforts were made to
ascertain where Guiteau was to be
buried. Persons acting in the in
terest OF resurrectionists, both those
who wanted the body for dissection
as well as several enterpri sing dime
museum proprietors, industriously
questioned everyone whom it was
thought possessed the slightest know
ledge. In order to obviate any legal
difficulties that might arise. it was
decided that Guiteau should make a
will bequeatbing his body to DR..
Hicks. II was decided to bury the
bo1y in the Jail The night of the
hanging. after the autopsy, the body
remained in the cheap coffin in the
chapel of the Jail
Upon nv arrival at the Jail early
on the Saturday morning following
the execution / secured couple of
"trusties" and proceeded to the little
laundry-room. dimly lighted by a
small barred grating and almost an
ideal tomb. The two amateur grave
diggers. quickly removing the floor
ing, dug a grave sufficiently deep.
BY the time the body had been
brought down from the chapel Dr.
Hicks arrived to conduct the funeral
services There was only a small
party that stood about the open
grave ana listened to the solemn
reading of the burial service Gen
eral Crocker, who was the warden,
was present. and, believe. Charlie
Reed, the lawyer who assisted in
Guiteau's defense. besides several OF
the guards and the two prisoners
who dug the grave. 1t was a weird
scene and one / shall never forget.
There was no particular compact
made as to secrecy among US. but it
seemed to be generally understood
that we would maintain silence. es-
pecially as there was considerable
excitement at the time. The story
that the body had been secretly re-
moved to the medical museum was
permitted to go uncontradicted be-
cause We did not believe it concerned
any one.

A BRAZILIAN journal makes the
sensible practical suggestion that a
system of common schools for the
education of the.masses of the peo-
rle is what that country most needs.
It urges the establishment OF normal
training schools where teachers may
be prepared for the work that most
needs TO be done. What is thus de-
clared necessity for Brazil is equally
a necessity for all the so-called re-
publics of South and Central America
and Mexico. IL they had more edu-
cation they would have fewer revo-
lutions. The change will be cheaper
as well as better and it cannot be

mosphere of the senate chamber or cloak
rooms, with but an occasional half hours
nap on a sofa, have been dangerously near
an illness ever since. Among those who
made the mistake of overestimating their
strength was Senator Stewart of Nevada
For several weeks Mr. Stewart had been
boasting as to what he would do when the
climax came on.
At one time he offered to make a speech 80
days long. At another time he proposed to
hold the senate every alternate night, alone
and single handed. Later he reduced the
estimate length of his address to four days,
and finally to 20 hours, but when he came
to apply his theories and boasts to actual
practice six or eight hours was as long as
he felt able to hold the floor. He could
not have held it this long had it not been
for frequent interruptions for roll calls or
the interjection of remarks by other sena-
ators.
At one time Senator Stewart begged the
presiding officer to maintain better order
in the chamber, saying that he was much
interested in his own remarks and wished
to have the pleasure of hearing what he
himself had to say. Senator Stewart is re-
markable old man, full of energy and vital
ity, but he has learned the lesson which
many other elderly senators also learned
during this ordeal-that years will tell even
upon the strongest physiques.
The Impress of Conviction.
The leader about whom most anxiety was
felt by his friends during the trying days
and nights of the silver battle was Mr.
Teller Of Colorado. Upon Mr.. Teller's
shoulders has fallen the brunt of the bat
tie waged by the silver people. He has
been their leader in council and in battle
He has been in his seat almost every hour
since the struggle began. The strain upon
his nervous system and his will power has
been as great rs that upon his physical con-
stitution. Moreover, Mr.. Teller has been
the most earnest and passionate of all the
participants in this great legislative COM
bat His heart, his mind, his body, all his
powers and instincts have been concentrat-
ed upon the one idea of preventing uncon-
ditional repeal of the Sherman act and the
striking down of silver as money.
As is usually the case with men who de-
vote themselves to one idea throughout a
long series of years, Mr.. Teller has become
not cranky, not abnormal, but dangerously
near thereto in the extreme of his devotion
and earnestness. Several times during the
progress of the fight he made speeches in
which it was evident he controlled his feel
ings only with the greatest difficulty. The
tears fairly came to his eyes. and his frame
shook with emotion.
On one of these occasions, during the
hand 10 hand fighting Mr.. Teller made one
of the most passionate speeches ever heard
in the senate chamber. He declared that he
would fight this bill to the bitter end. and
that IN SO doing he was supported by his
conscience and by the people Of the country
