A CRAZY NEGRO

Cuts woman's Throat, Kills Man aid
BADLY Wounds Another-A Mob Captures
Him, Riddles Him with Bullets aud
Hangs His Corpse.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 90. Mrs. Martin
McMahon keeps n grocery at the cor.
ncr of Atlantic and Pacific avenues,
and had in her employ a Negro ex-con-
vict named William Fisher, whom she
had befriended on account of his
seeming devotion to her, and be-
cause he was a lunatic. Fisher lost
his reason about three years ago
while serving term in the state peni-
tentiary, where he was sentenced for
cutting white man. Wednesday even
ing he was sent for oysters by Mrs. Nc
Mahon, but did not perform the mission
to her satisfaction. She rebuied him
and he few into a rage Selling a
large meat knife he caught her by the
head and cut her throat from ear to
ear.
Her cries for aid attracted the atten-
tion of Mr. Mcknight, who was in an
adjoining room. He ran to her assist
ance The Negro grabbed Mcknight,
and, dropping his knife, caught up a
hatchet, with which he attempted to
kill him. He failed in this, but sue
ceeded in severely wounding him.
Fisher fed from the house and scaled
the fence A steamship fireman named
VIM. Barrett saw him and tried to stop
him. Fisher told him to keep away,
but Barrett followed him and caught
the fellow about the middle. The
men wrestled for while, and Fisher
drew knife, with which he stabbed
the white man three times in the breast,
killing him instantly.
BY this time the entire neighborhood
was aroused, and vigorous chase of
the murderer was begun. Men armed
with guns knives and clubs started to
find him. Fisher had hid in an outhouse
of a neighboring dwelling, but did not
remain long concealed. The crowd
gathered around the little house, and or
dered him to come out. He refused to do
so, and an attempt was made to break
open the door. When the first blow of
the ak fell on the door pistol shot,
closely followed by four others, rang
out. Fisher was making bold but
USELESS dJCeLnpG 10 urlVe DacR MS pur-
surers. His bullets failed to do any
damage, and when his cartridges were
exhausted the crowd broke the door
from its hinges and opened fire on the
Negro, at bay. Two bullets in the
head and several in the body put an end
to his earthly career.
The crowd of lyncners placed rope
around his neck and with the veil
Hang him before he dies" the bloody
corpse was dragged through the yard
of the dwelling and into the street.
The end of the rope was cast over
u tree, and in less time than it takes
to tell it Fisher was swinging in mid
air

BIG COAL DEALERS
Indicted for Combining to Prevent
Competition
And TO Advance the Price of the Fael.-
The Indictment Is Based Upon the
Constitution and Bylaws of
the Coal Exchange.

ROCHESTER, n Y, Jan. %. The
shadow which has been lowering over
the Rochester Coal exchange for ten
days took material form at o'clock
Thursday afternoon, when the grand
jury reported to Justice Rumsey, in the
circuit court, indictments charging the
big coal dealers in the exchange with
conspiracy.
The indictment charges that the
members of the exchange have con-
spired to prevent free competition in
the sale of coal, and to advance the
price. The indictment is based upon
the constitution and bylaws of the ex-
change. The constitution and bylaws
were adopted on February 4, 1892.
The following order, promulgated by
Secretary j. Harry Stedman, of the ex-
change, about three months ago. also
appears in the Indictment: 1.-THE sale
of coal, through grocers or any other
outside parties, is deemed predju-
cial to the interests of this ex-
change, and must be stopped at once.
Whether any commission is paid or not,
or whether there be any form of recipro-
city, or the transaction is purely from
friendship, the principle is the
same. All signs in such outside places
indicating or suggesting orders, must
come down. The coal dealers of Roches-
ter should do the coal business of the
city, and the sooner the trade wholly
reverts to it's normal channels, the bet
ter for the true interest of every men,
Der of the exchange" The constitu-
ton of the exchange provides that the
price of coal may be decreased or adj
vanced by a two-thirds vote of the MEM
bers.
In addition to the indictments the
grand jury made a presentment to the
court, setting forth that in it's investi-
cations which resulted in the indict-
ments, evidence was given showing the
existence of another organization
known as the western Traffic associa-
tion," the members of which are the
accredited representatives of coal and
railroad organizations which control
the anthracite coal mines of Penn
sylvania, from which the supply of coal
for this county is obtained. This asso-
citation meets in New York city, so the
presentment says; that this association
has conspired to control the shipment
of coal, and that it inspires and fosters
coal exchanges throughout the country
| similar to the one in this city. The
presentment recites that on the last
Thursday of April, 1892, the Western
Traffic association met at the Fifth
Avenue no tel, in New York, and did
then and there dictate that the price of
coal should be S4.5 per gross ton, an
advance of twenty-five cents per ton.
The presentment closes with the
statement that it is presented to the
court in order that the facts recited
may be laid before the grand jury of
New York county. None of the local
dealers indicted have been arrested yet.
1t is believed that they will be brought
into court Friday. They are also
charged with preventing dealers who
were not membe of the exchange from
obtaining coal.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 27 There was
large attendance of medical gentlemen
present Thursday afternoon in the
First Congressional church, when the
meeting of the state and local boards of
health was called TO order by President
Conklin, of the state board, who an
nounccd that the objectiof the meeting
was to consider measures to prevent
the introduction and spread of cholera
in the United States, and other topics
in line with their duties. Following was
Thursdays programme.

One Of the most interesting as well as
the most instructive of the papers read
at the session Thursday night, which
was held in the hall of the house of
representatives., was that on "The
States Duty in Preventing Cholera"
by DIR. Stanton, the Cincinnati mem
ber of the state board. He held
that the news of recurrence
of cholera in Russia, Germany and
France was an unmistaiable sign of
the danger that again threatens us.
He believed that the cooperation of the
national, state and local authorities in
the strictest sanitary measures is
essential. The quarantine authorities
should all be vested in the general
government and not a patch work of
state laws as at present Information
looking to the protection of the public
health from cholera should be collected
classified and disseminated widely
THE state board should be given
jurisdiction and absolute power in the
enforcement of all sanitary regulations
in time of peril to the public health.
Medical inspectors should be posted
along the borders of the state, at the
crossings of the trunk line railroads to
inspect incoming passengers who hail
from disease-infected points. The legis-
lature, in view of the probable emer-
gency, should place liberal fund at
the command of the state board. The
authorities and the people must be
taught that cleanliness is essential to
health, and how to keep clean"

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE.
Building Blown to Atoms, and Two Men
Instantly Killed.

Building Blown to Atoms, and Two Men
Instantly Killed.
BIRMING HAM, Ala, Jan. 2S.-At Nc
Adory, five miles below Bessemer, at
o'clock Friday morning, $50 pounds Of
dynamite exploded in the mixing house
of the Sterling Dynamite Co. IS works.
The building was blown to atoms
and two men who were in it-George
Williams, the mixer and James
Parson, his assistant-were instantly
killed, and the quivering flesh Of
their bodies scattered for hundreds
Of yards around. Manager Hobbs says
carelessness in mixing the ingredients
which make up the dynamite caused
the explosion. No one was near except
the two men who were killed. After
the explosion men with baskets gath
cred up the flesh and bones of the dead
men. The largest pieces found were
part of an arm and a section of a mans
spinal column.
In the top of tall tree was found
part of a pair of pants. Fragments of
flesh were found across Il creek 800
yards away, and the shock of the eX-
plosion caused an immense bowlder to
roll down on the Birmingham Mineral
railroad track, half mile aw;H, delay'
ing trains an hour. Williams was a
single man, aged 22 Parsons was 23
years of age, and leaves a family
These works blew up six months age
and killed four men.

NO ABATEMENT
of Interest in the Senator Nc
Donald Will Case.
A Microscopic Expert Testifes That
the Signatures Were Forged.
A Domestic TostiHes ms to the senator's
Great Love and Affection for His
Children and Grandchildren Preyi-
Gus to His Third Marriage.

NoBLEsvILLE, Ind, Jan. 2s.-Ipterest
IN the McDoqald will case is unabating.
Mr.. Frank Lowe, stenographer in the
Mcdonald law Office, said the signature
to the will and copy of both Senator
Mcdonald and the attached witnesses
were forgeries, and when asked wherein
they differed, said that the difference
was the same as that between live
man and dead one that the alleged
signatures lacked life and individuality.
Several deeds were put in evidence
showing how Mrs, Mcdonald acquired
title to all of the property, except the
one piece involved in the suit
Lizzie Jenkins who has been in the
Mcdonald home continually for SO
years, told of the senator's great love
and affection for his children and
grandchildren previous to his marriage
with his third wife, who is now his
widow, and how changed he was, in
that particular, after the marriage.
She said Mrs. Mcdonald declared her
hatred of the mother of the grandchil-
dren, and could hurt the mother worse
by treating the children coolly than in
any other way She did not like the
mother living and hatred her memory,
and did not intend they should have any
of their grandfather's property, if she
could help it, and that now she was
Mrs. Mcdonald and the relatives here
after would only come to the house
when they had special invitations.
Marshall d. Ewell, of Chicago, an cx-
pert microscopist investigator of hand
writing, and who was witness in the
celebrated Davil will case at Butte,
Mont, and in the Cronin case at
Chicago, testified to having made ex-
tended critical examination and meas
urements of all the signatures, and in
his Judgment they are simulated sig
natures, all written by the same per-
son, and that in the signatures of Sem
ator Mcdonald to both the will and
copy the microscope discovered evidence
Of tracing or patching, all of which was
invisible without the use of the micro
scope. He said that the capital sd" in
both the alleged signatures of McDon-
aid and Parke, whose name appeared
as Daniels, as one of the attesting wit
nesses, bore very strong evidence on
critical comparison of being the work
of forger.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the New Haven
Register tells this story as coming from
an intimate friend of the Blaine family.
Five years ago, Mr.. Blaine having been
told of many wonderful predictions by
an astrologer las he called himself),
consented to have his fortune told. Mr..
Blaine was not believer in prophets
powers, and was inclined to laugh a,
those whose gullibility he believed en-
abled these people to exist Many com
monplace statements, the story goes
were given by the astrologer, but one
impressed itself upon the minds of those
to whom Mr.. Blaine afterward related
the incident. That was that Mr.. Is .aine
would die in the year 1898, and before
the 2Sth of January.

PLOT TO BURN A TOWN
Leads to Wholesale Arrests of Colored
Incendiaries at Hampton, Va.

Leads to Wholesale Arrests of Colored
Incendaries at Hampton, Va.
FORT MONROE, Va, j an. 26.-The cit
liens of Hampton, Va, are very muck
excited by the discovery of a plot to
burn the town. Some ten or a dozen
colored men appear to have banded
together for this purpose, which was to
have been carried out last Friday night,
but for the arrest of one of the con-
spirators, who has since turned stateA
evidence. These men were incensed
because Rev. Thomas H. Shorts, col
ored minister who gained considerable
notoriety by marrying Douglas Green,
the New Yorker, and Mrs. McCrea, of
Chicago, about three years ago, had a
mum ber of them indicted for selling
liquor. His house was set on fire on the
night in question, but was eXtinguished
before much damage was done. Barnes
hotel and Brittingham' furniture
store were also on the list but not fired.
The plan of the incendiaries was to
start the fire in the west end and thus
draw off the fire department, but the
man sent for that purpose was arrested
before he could get at work. The mat
ter has been kept very quiet in order to
secure the other conspirators, half
dozen of whom are now in jail.
