A Tennessee Mob Lynches the Per-
petrator of a Heinous Crime.
The Jail Stormed by Mob, and the
Prisoner Taken Therefrom--He
Is Hanged and Shot.
LYNCHINa IN TENNESSEE.


CHAT ANooGA, Tenn, Feb. 16.-This
city is in a terrible state of excite
ment One Blount, negro who had
assaulted a white woman, was taken
from the jail at 1890 o'clock Tuesday
night, and, in the presence of thou
sands of people, hanged to a bridge in
the heart of the city, after which he
was literally shot to pieces. As soon
as it was learned that Blount
was in the possession of the
authorities, a mob of over 1000
of Chattanooga best citizens started
for the Jail The sheriff. learn
ing of their intentions beforehand, inn
mediately started a band of deputies
to the Jail with orders to hold out to
the last extre nifty. fastening inside
they barricaded the building and
awaited the onslaught of the mob.
When the crowd reached the place they
found their entrance disputed and sum-
moned the sheriff to surrender the
prisoner. The official refused and an
nounced his intention Of shooting the
first man who approached.
All protests and remonstrances failed
duO al dtICu1pb was IudUc W DECdh inbO
the Jail, a battering ram being used. At
o'clock the outer door had been
forced in. Behind it were the deputies,
who asked for aid in vain, as the city
polieo force was powerless and there is
no militia company in the city. At
1880 the steel door of the Jail
was broken down by tools brought
from blacksmith's shop and the
black fend was in the hands
of the men thirsting for his
life. He was taken to the bridge over
the Tennessee river, seven blocks
away, and hanged to the iron work of
the first span over the roadway. Then
his corpse was made the target for
hundreds of pistols Having done their
work the mobdispersed. None of them
was masked. Later facts show that the
negro's identity and guilt were fully
established.

COAL DUST EXPLOSION.
The Cedar Mines Suffer Seriously
Jos. GdILdgIter Killed.

ALBA, Feb. IA frightful explosion
occurred in the Chicago and Iowa mine
at Cedar last evening, killing one man
and injuring more or less several others
The mine is two hundred feet below
the surface and employs one hundred
men, all of whom were below when the
explosion occurred. 1t is the custom
to fire the shots in this mine at II
o'clock and few minutes before 6, just
as the men are leaving. 1t was at the
latt r time of the day that the accident
occurred.
Host of the men were near the shaft
preparing to ascend or the results would
undoubtedly have been more disastrous.
AS it was eighteen or twenty men were
burned and one man killed outright.
Joe. Gallagher, the victim of the ex-
plosion, was frightfully mangled. His
head was blown off and his trunk fear.
fully lacerated. The following were
badly burned on the face and hands:
Harry Long, Chas. Long,
John Robinson, Al Anderson,
Geo. Abbott, Tom Irwin,
r. II. LorrigQ, II. II. Wopier,

so seriously.

mines when the explosion occurred.
One woman, whose husband was below,
was restrained by force from throwing
herself down into the shaft, and the
anxiety depicted or 10 faces and in
the cries of the relatives 4 the missing
was touching.
Drs. Powell, Glenny, Gray, Starr and
Bartram were called Immediately to
the scene and did not return till every
mans wounds were properly dressed.
1t is not thought that any more fatal
tiles will result, although some of the
victims inhaled the fire, which may have
affected their lungs seriously. Every
thing is quite at the mine and running
as usual.
