Over the Falls.

SPOKANE, Washn., Nov. 22.-James
Kendrick and Patrick Quirk, two men
in the employ of the city in e1cavat-
ing rock for the Pont street bridge,
just above the falls, met with terri
BILE death late yesterday afternoon.
They were working on narrow ledge
ofrock forty feet above the Spokane
river, which at this time is a raging
torrent, when Kendrick slipped into
the water, carrying Quirk with him.
As soon as they struck the water the
rapid current bore them quickly to the
thirty foot falls and in twinkling, be-
fore their Mortified companions could
make move to save them, they were
carried into the Devils Cauldron," q
bottomless, seething and foaming pool
at the base of the falls and from which
nobody has ever been recovered. Both
were single men, Kendrick coming
from Buffalo, N. Y, and Quirk from
Springfield, Ills.

Hanged by u Mob.

A mob hanged Frederick Gustaveson
to the outside stair railing of Justice
TIuitt's court room at Ottumwa, Ia,
yesterday afternoon. Gustaveson Mon
day night brutality assaulted the four
year-old daughter of Jonas Sax. The
child told her parents, who had Gus
taveson arrested.
At two o'clock he was taken quietly
TO Justice TRUTHS office for arraignment.
The news that the man was in TRUTHS
court spread with wonderful rapidity,
and in less than twenty minutes a
crowd of men was surging around the
stairway leading to the courtroom, try
ing to get at the prisoner.
The mother of the little girl succeed
ed in getting to the top of the stairs in
front of the courtroom, and swung q
rope from the platform. She and her
aged father cried to the crowd below to
hang Gustaveson.
Sheriff Mcintyre and Mayor Force
appealed to the crowd for silence, but
all in vain.
A number of men, after a great effort
succeeded in gaining admission to the
courtroom. No sooner were they on
the inside than they attempted to open
the doors to admit their friends. This
precipitated fight with the court of.
ficers, which was carried on with des.
perate determination for several min.
utes. The superior numbers of lynch.
ers finally won the battle, and as the
doors were open the mob poured into
the room.
The leader Of the mob seized the rope
from the hands of Mrs. Sax, and as the
court attaches were powerless to inter
fere, placed it about Gustaveson's neck
in twinkling. With yell of rage the
rope was seized by a hundred hands, and
the quaking wretch was dragged from
his chair across the floor to the door,
where he was lifted over the railing un-
til the rope had been made secure, when
he was let 60.
He hung suspended above the pave,
ment on the principal street of the city
for fully ten minutes.
Suddenly the rope parted, and the
body dropped to the street below, and
concerted rush was made by the spec
tators for its possession. The police,
however, were first to reach the pros
trate body, and hastily throwing it into
farmers wagon standing nearby,
drove rapidly to the Jail, being follow
ed by the mob.
The lynchers again demanded the
body of Gustaveson, nor would they de-
sist when told that the man was dead.
A truce was patched up by the appoint
ment of q committee, which examined
the body and pronounced life extinct.
The mob then quietly dispersed, and
the city is now as quiet as though no
thought of the terrible affair of the af-
ternoon had ever entered the minds of
any citizen of the place.
The little girl remains in precarious
condition. with the chances life great
ly against her.

Destructive Fires.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 22.-The
most destructive fire this city has
known for years started shortly after
midnight at So Worthington street.
The flames, when discovered, had
gained considerable Roadway and soon
spread beyond the control of the fire.
men. Doolan's building went next
and then the Mayo block; the Able
block was then attacked and soon the
Hotel Glendower was completely sur
rounded by fire and speedily caught.
The hotel burned rapidly and at a. m.
its walls fell, but the guests long before
had packed their baggage and left the
building. The probable loss is estimat-
ed at 100000. Assistance was sent
from Hartford and Worcester.
NEwBERN, Tenn, Nov, 22-At least
three lives were lost and several more
persons were injured in fire which
broke out here a few minutes before
one o'clock this morning. The fire
originated in the Opera House building
and the flames had gained such head
way before they were discovered that
it was found impossible to save the
building. The fire was finally gotten
under control after destroying many
business houses in the town.

SECRETARY CARLISLE or CURRENCY.
Secretary Carlisle spoke on national
finances last night at the annual din
ner of the New York Chamber of Com
merce at Delmonico's, in New York
city. He said the money Of the world
being gold, the financial system of this
country must conform to it. We may
use silver among ourselves under GER
tain conditions to large amount, but
gold is the only international money,
and we must have plenty of that in use
if we do not wish to hobble and injure
our foreign trade. We can do as well,
but we could not alone maintain the
unlimited coinage of silver as full legal
tender in opposition to the policies of
the other great nations of the earth.
We have coined 419, 332, $50 silver dol
lars. We have l40,699, $50 fine ounces
of silver bullion, which, at the ratio Of
16 to /, would make 1881, 914, 81. Thus
we have S60l ,247 ,39l of silver dollars,
besides 6,977 ,002 in subsidiary silver
coin. That we are to pay our obliga-
tons in coin current in all the markets
of the world has been settled, says the
Secretary, for all time to come. The
question is no longer open, if it was
ever an open question. The spirit and
obvious purpose of the whole body OF
existing legislation has settled it he de-
clares, once for all.

The Costa Rica Incident.

PANAMA, Nov. 15.-Advices from
La Libertad on the Sth give the follow
ing details of the Costa RIGA incident
On the arrival of the steamer Costa
Rica at Amapala, having on board Gen
Policarpo Bonilla, who had boarded
her at Corinto, demand was made by
the authorities for his delivery. As
will be remembered, Bonilla was the
leader of the late Hondurean revolu-
ton, and on the final defeat of his
forces he fled into Nicaragua, nearly
causing a war between those two not
overfriendly neighbors. Captain John
Dow, of the Costa Rica, refused to con-
slider the demand, whereupon, as an
ultimatum, the guns of the fort
were trained on the Costa RIGA and
an hour and half allowed the captain to

For Good Roads.

The "Road Inquiry Bureau" of the
Agricultural Department is meeting
with signal success in its undertaking
of gathering and disseminating inform
alton upon the subject of making and
preserving good roads in the United
States. This bureau was organized
last October by the appointment of
General Roy Stone, vice president of
the National League for Good Roads,
to be special agent of the department
in charge of the matter. The objects
of the bureau are included in four
branches as follows:
To make inquiry in regard to the
systems Of road management through
out the United States.
To make investigations in regard to
the best methods of road making.
To prepare didactic publications on
this subject suitable for distribution.
To assist agricultural colleges and
experiment stations in disseminating
information on this subject.
Virginia is taking interest in the
udllcI. L uC COulihiSSlOuCl vi NSilCul-
ture of Virginia writes
"Tne question of the Improvement
of the condition of some public roads
ha, for some time engaged the atten-
ton of the board of agriculture, and the
governor has also evinced deep in
terest in the question. 1t has been dis
oussed at farmers institutes held all
over Virginia, and the people have
been shown the immediate benefits
any community derives from system
of good roads. The board of agricul-
ture has appointed committee on good
roads to expedite matters"
Many governors state that they
will bring the question Of good roads
before the legislatures, and some point
with pride to the efforts which have al
ready been made.
The railroad companies have re-
sponded readily and many of them
have expressed their willingness to
transport road material at cost rates,
and some of them have intimated that
rate lower than cost might be ar
ranged.
The chief engineer of the Norfolk
and Western road says that splendid
road materials are available all along
that line and reductions in freight
rates would be made for large orders to
improve the condition of country roads
in Virginia. He says:
"The association of engineers of Vir-
ginia are recognizing the fact that Vir-
ginia is very far behind in its present
road laws and methods of improving
county roads and we hope to secure
Improvements in county roads at an
early date. Certainly any act of the
Department of Agriculture will be of
very great benefit to the State of Vir-
ginia, and trust that the information
may be furnished to the Virginia legis-
lature."
