Body of Dead officer Found

MOBILE, Ala, July 12.-The dead
body of Deputy Sheriff John w.
Thomas, of Mobile county, was
found yesterday in the villege OF
Whistler, seven miles from Mobile.
There were three bullet wounds on
his body, and his skull was
crushed. Thomas is the one
armed officer, who last week shot
and killed a desperate, an es-
capped convict, Mike Fincher,who re-
sisted his attempt to arrest him.
Fincher's friends swOre vengeance
against Thomas, and the first inn
preston was that some of them
had assassinated him. Investiga-
ton and strong circumstantial evil
dence show, however, that Gilbert
Diace, railroad engineer and
nephew, John Ryan, fireman, were
the murderers. After committing
the deed they boarded a
late train. They have been
located at Hickey, Miss, and are
probably now arrested. Their mo-
tive was revenge, Thomas having
placed them under arrest carly
in the night for mutilating some
animals. Diace has resided in
Texas and Mexico.

BRENNAN Banner: "The fact that
mob violence does not deter men,
to any appreciate extent, is evil
denced by the numerous reports
coming from all parts, of the fiend-
ish attempts upon the persons of
females. If executive officers would
enforce the laws, the mob would
soon be out Of job"
Press and Printer: "The legiti-
mate, clean and honest newspaper
has become as necessary to the
daily demand Of civilization as is
the physician, the lawyer or the
preacher. The elevation of the
press has been steady and substan-
tial through the years of rapid
progress until its place is as de-
fined and as dignified as is that of
any of the so called professions.
Dallas Times--Herald: "Dallas

play. This is all they ask, and
they will see to it that this reason
able request is granted. The
L III Will lIS
able morning contemporary, can
not permit secret, fragrant and il
legal discrimination against the
commerce of this wide-awake city
to proceed unchecked"
New Orleans States: "The end
of the Crescent City Athletic club
will be fastened, if the northern
clubs have really secured the in
ternational fight in December. The
maintenance of so magnificent an
establishment as the old Letchford
mansion was never warranted by
the patronage of club members,
most of whom found social diver
sion in the other clubs. The Letch-
ford place, purchased from ex-
Senator COrdill, has been a white
elephant on the hands of Mr.. Noel
and his friends. If the Elks sue
coed in obtaining the building, as
now seems likely, and as was
presaged in the States some time
back, that society of good fellows
will have quarters unsurpassed by
those of any similar body in the
city"

Stock Market Flat.

LONDON, July l2.-The tone Of
the stock market is fiat, and there
is considerable excitement. There
have been declines, ranging from a
quarter to half, in American
railroad securities, the greatest
fall was in Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul. The weakness in
these securities has affected the
whole market. 1t is stated that
several bankers are in critical sit
uations, due in a large measure to
baseless rumors cabled to London
from New York, regarding num-
Der of large English houses, con-
corning the soundness of which no
doubt is entertained here.
