JOHNSTON CITY, Jan. 4 The report
comes from Bskersville, N c., that Calvin
Snipes, the murderer of Isaac Osborne, was
taken from jail this morning by mob of
500 masked men, who hurried him to q
dense forest half mile away and lynched
him. The sheriff's posse attempted to de-
fend the prisoner. In the struggle which
ensued eleven of the posse and eleven of
the mob were killed. 1t was one of the
bloodiest riots that ever occurred in North
Carolina, and messenger just from
there says that both sides are still fight

killed. Those of the sheriff's posse
who were killed are James Williams, Dan

The facts which led up to the affrsy are
es follows: Aaron Wisemsn and Calvin
Snipes were partners in an Illicit distillery
ia Mitchell county, N. c., and had told
William Osborne and Isaac Osborne, two
brothers, where the distlllery was situ-
sted. William Osborne reported the
distillery to the officials at Bakersville
and helped them to destroy it. Wisemsn
and Snipss suspected Isaac Osborne as the
reporter. In the night of August 81, 1892,
Snipes aud Wiseman, armed with Winches-
ter rifles, went to the house of Isaac o.
borne and called him up. Mr.. Osborne
came to the door and the culprits opened
fire, almost Kidding him with bullets.
Wiseman and Snipes were arrested, but
sufficient evidence could not be obtained
against Wiseman and he was released.
Snipes was bound to the superior court on

apart by the senate for the consideration
of the bill granting additional quarantine

An attempt was made by Mr.. Washburn,

to vote on the adoption bill next week,
but Mr. Harris, dem, of Tennessee, OBJ
jected on the ground that several senator's
intended to speak upon it. He expressed

would soon be taken.

viso at the end of section 2, and addressed

tail.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Represeptstive
Harter dem, o. introduced his promised
joint resolution to suspend the monthly
purchases of silver in the house to day.
Its full text is as follows:
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled: That all
further purchases of silver bullion by the
United States of America shall cease from
and after the passage or adoption of this
resolution, and that said purchases shall
not be resumed until an international
agreement shall be reached, which agree
ment shall at least include Great Britain,
Germany, France and the United States of
America; and which agreement shall fix
the valuation at which silver bullion will
thereafter be received for coinage, without
limit as to quantity, at the mints of all the
nations which are parties to said interna-
tional agreement.
There has been good deal of curiosity
to see this resolution in its full text, be-
cause discussion of the course of congress
at this session has been confined hitherto
to the prospects of the Mcpherson resolu-
| ton.

over the red room, in the southwestern
portion of the mansion. For some
time workmen have been engaged in
making improvements in the walls and
ceiilngs OF the red room. Scaffolding
was erected in the room and the work
was rapidly pushed to completion
When Baby Esther was born it was
feared the nose made by the workmen
would penetrate Mrs Cleveland's apart
ment and disturbed the patient.
When Mrs. Cleveland heard that it was
proposed to discontinue the work until
she had recovered she insisted that
/ what noise came from below did not in
the least disturb her, and she emphat-
lcally desired that the men go right
along with the work without Interim
ton. This incident shows that Mrs
Cleveland's nerves are in no way affect
ed and that her condition has ut no
time been such as to warrant any I'M
due alarm.
Baby Esther grows rapidly. Her
lung power increases also each day.

occasionally reach the corridor when
some one opens the door leading into

to raise everything that is needed to
support the hands and cattle and stock

the farm was made to raise such

money in his pocket. All of us can do
this On the farm. When a farmer has
to so running round the country buy

that could be raised at home without
paying big prices for it, then you mark

New York Commercial Advertiser:
Dr. Felix L. Oswald, who contributes
so copiously to the leading magazines,
lives in comparative solitude on shell
tered spur Of Holston mountain, in
the extreme easten part of Tennessee.
He believes there are no life-giving
medicines like air and exercise. He
eats but one meal a day, and that of
4 wholly vegetable diet. with the eX-
ceptiOn of butter and eggs. This meal
is bis breakfast and is eaten at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, at which hour
he ceases writing for the day. His
for literary work is marvel
GUS, or for any kind of work for that
matter, as he is over six feet high,
broad and brawny. Like Joaquin Mill
CT, he gets lonesome in the city and
is not happy except in his wild home.
