THREE LYNCHEO.
The Swift Work Of . Kansas MOb-Three
Murderers Hanged.


Murderers Hanged.
RUSSELL, Kan, Jan. 16.-A terrible
exhibition of prairie justice was seen
here Saturday night when three men,
j. G. Burton, William Gay and his son.
John Gay, were lynched by deter
mined mob. The men were held guilty
of the murder of Fred Dinniny last
July. Dinniny lived with T. w. Burton
on a farm eleven miles north, and July
he disappeared. Burton had his team
and even wore some of his clothes, but
claimed that Dinniny had gone to Okla
homa with young Gay.
Cav returned a short time ago, and,
on close questioning. confessed that
Burton had poisoned Dinniny. The
elder Gay attempted to point out the
place of burial. but failed. Burton
then made confession that the Gays
killed him, and on Thursday took the
sheriff to a cornfield in a ravi1e where
the body, decomposed and mutilated,
with the skull crushed, was found.
Indignation ran high. and it was with
difficulty that the three men could be
got back to the Jail. where they had
been confined since their arrest late in
December.
Saturday night number of men
from the vicinity of the Burton farm
came into town and were reinforced by
farmers from all parts of the country.
The party appeared to have been
picked, for there were only about 100
in all when, at midnight, they sur
rounded the little Jail and demanded
the prisoners This was refused by
the sheriff, but the parley was short
The mob easily forced their way into
the Jail and dragged out the terrified
trio from their cells.
The mob was cool and apparently
well organized and made no attempt
at concealment, though there were
many onlookers. They took the men
out through the streets and guarded
them with jealous care. leading them
along the Union Pacific track A short
distance from town, a little prairie
stream is crossed by the railroad and
wagon road, about 100 rods east of the
Russell depot
To the bridge over this the mob went
and placed the trembling wretches
near the edge. Ropes were ready and
one was put around the neck of each
of the men and tied to the stringers.
There was no time for prayers or plead
ings. but at signal all three were
pushed off the edge and dropped eight
or ten feet with all the precision of a
professional hanging.
To make sure of carrying out their
purpose the mob fired two shots into
each body, although death came
quickly by the rope. Then the lynch
ers rode away quietly and the bodies
swung cold and stiff.

RELIEF NEEDED.

Secretary Carlisle Gives = Statement a to
the Condition OF the Treasury-Con-
tiaued Decrease Of Receipts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE following
letter was forwarded by Secretary Car
isle to Senator Voorhees,. chairman of
the finance committee of the senate:
Hon d. w. Voorhees,. Chairman Committee on
Finance. nited States Senate:
Dear Sir: In compliance with your verbal
request have the honor TO submit for the con-
sideration Of the finance commit Of the sen.
ate statements showing the actual condition Of
me treasury on the 18th day Of the present
month and an estimate of receipts and expeni.
lures during the remainder Of this month and
the month Of February. 1t will be seen from
this statement there is an urgent necessity for
such immediate action as will replenish the
coin reserve and enable this department to con-
tinue the payment OF public expenses and dis.
charge the obligations OF the government TO
pensioners and other lawful creditors
When my annual report was prepared it was
estimated the expenses during the current
fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the
amount Of about s.s.O)o, COO, and 1 asked con-
zress for authority to issue and sell bonds, or
other forms Of obligations. TO an amount not
exceeding $50. 000 900. bearing q low rate Of in
terest and having reasonably short time TO
rum to enable the secretary OF the treasury TO
supply such deficiencies as might occur in the
revenues.
The estimate then made was based upon the
assumption that the worst effects Of our finan-
cial disturbances had already been realized,
and there would be 4 substantial increase in
the revenues for the remainder Of the year
While it is not believed the deticienc. then ex-
listing would be supplied By increased revenues
in the future, il is hoped no additional def
cheney would occur, bat the receipts and ex-
penditures during the month of December and
up to the 18th day Of the present month show
that the estimate Of q deficiency of $4,000. 900
at the close of the year was much too low.

FATAL FOG.
Terrible Accident on the Delaware
& Lackawanna.
Collision OF Trains in . Dense Fog Near
New York City-Sixteen Passengers
Killed and Many Injured-Ac-
cident In California.
sixteen Killed.


NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Sixteen passen-
gers were killed and twenty-five in
jured in a collision during dense fog
between two trains of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad at the
vest end of the HackensaclS bridge,
about S o'clock yesterday morning.
Two cars were completely destroyed.
The Dover express passed through
Roseville without stopping and was fol-
owed four minutes later by the regular
,ommutation train. So dense was the
;og over the river that on approaching
he bridge the express slowed up, the
engineer being unable to see the sig
lals- The Communication train did not
lalt at the bridge, but went along at
IS usual rate of speed.
The engineer saw the express when
ess than 200 feet from it. and. though
lie reversed his engine. he could not
prevent a collision. The locomotive
crashed into the rear car throwing it
rom the track quite a distance. This
.ar and the one ahead of it We're COM
oletely wrecked.
Both cars were full of passengers
Who were crushed to death or terribly
nangled. The engineer of the COM
mutation train is missing and is said to
De among the killed.
The brakeman of the rear car of the
Dover express discovered that wreck
was inevita BILE and shouted at the top
If his voice: Jump for your lives, an
other train is coming behind and will
be on us in minute"
The warning was sufficient to put
the entire rear car of the express in
connection. Passengers rushed pell
nell for the nearest means of exit.
Some jumped through the windows in
their haste while the majority rushed
to the doors. In the excitement some
fell on the floor while others tumbled
over them.
Before all the frightened passengers
could make their escape. the Orange
locomotive crashed into the rear car
wreckipg it and driving it into the car
ahead: also telescoping that, and deal
ing death on all sides. A passenger
who reached New York. said he had
counted fifteen bodies alongside the
wreck and that others were thought to
be dead.
Trains always slow up when APP
preaching the Hackensack bridge. 1t
Is said that the South Orange train was
cunning so close behind the Dover en-
press that there was no time to send
back a flagman.

1t will appear from this statement that the

and 1t is evident from the condition Of the
treasury that the department will have no
means to defray the ordinary expenses of the
government unless q large part Of the payments
are hereafter made from that fund. II this is
done the coin reserve will be reduced by the
LIST of February to Sol 6)l, 1854 about a sum
wholly inadequate for the purpose for which it
was created. On account of this critical cond-
ton of the treasury 1 have considered it my

my opinion, meet all requirements Of the situa-

the maintenance of the parity OF all forms Of
United States currency. While this proposed
measure Of relief has not yet been disposed of
