Frank Ellison was downcast and

Tho Suspended Figure Suggested .
City Hall Park L~ynchinz.

The mere suggestion OF a l~ynching-bee
in the very heart of the metropolis Is
enough to shock the sensibilities of civ
ilized New Workers, but the first thought
of the hundreds of pedestrians who hur-
ried through City Hall Park this morn
ing was. that such an outrage was
really being perpetrated Upon a helpless
human being.
1t was a morning peculiarly fitted for
such a d~astardly piece of work. The
early fog had given way to a drizzling
rain. that cast a depression over the
spirits of the spectators as well as the
usually lively appearance of the park.
After one glance at the proceedings,
however, native New Workers. breathed
easier. smiled. and hurried on to work
and business.

The latest issue OF the Panama Star

gives the details of the firing on the
steamer Costa Rica, which was flying

Upon the arrival of the Costa Rica at
Amapala, she having on board Gen. Poll
carpo Bonilla, who had boarded her at
Corinto, a demand was made by the au-
thorities for his delivery.
AS will be remembered. Bonilla was

forces he fled to Nicaragua, nearly caus-
ing a war between those two not over
