The Attempt to Lynch Negro Brute Leads to the Killing of Several Persons by the Militia.
 WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, O., Oct l7.-The militia of the state of Ohio in upholding the majesty of the law, fired upon the populace here last evening with deadly effect Maddened by the baseness of a crime committed by a negro, the citizens, not content with letting the law take it's course, sought to capture the wretch from the county officials and end his life. The aid of the state was summoned, and in pro- tecting the life of the negro two white persons were instantly killed and sew eral more fatally injured.
 William Dolby, colored, who one week ago criminally assaulted Mrs. Mary C. Boyd, aged 55, at Parrots sta tion, near here, and was captured at Delaware, O., was brought into court yesterday afternoon. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary.
 An angry mob gathered about the jail in the afternoon after Dolby had been identified by bis victim and Sheriff Cook called to his assistance the local militia company. This action increased the fury against Dolby, and Gov. Me Kinley was appealed to for additional assistance and troops from Columbus were sent here, Col. Colt in command.
 After the sentence the prisoner was taken to the grand jury room. A mob gathered about the courthouse and the officers were powerless to get Dolby from that building to the jail or to the train, and Sheriff Cook wired the gov ernor to send more troops. The mob grew rapidly in numbers and were moved to point of desperation. Col. Colt made speech asking the crowd to disperse, but it was received with Jeers. The prisoner was prostrate from fear, and lay crying and moaning all the time.
 The mob kept Dolby and his guards prisoners in the courthouse until 6 p. m.. and then made an attack. The militia repelled them without firing at first, but at GAS p. m., the south door was forced open. This door opens Nuo iAiicA "iSh men, women and children. The de. tac,.ment of the guards finally fired on the attacking party. None of the lat ter were hurt, but a dozen or more persons on the street were struck, with the result stated above.
 Upon the firing the mob dispersed in all directions. Immediately all places of business in the city were shut up. Mayor Creamer peremptorily closed all places where liquors were sold. Every street was filled with people. No time was lost in carrying away the dead and wounded.
 In addition to the two persons in. Stantly killed, another died soon after the firing, and two others, one a boy IA years old, cannot recover. At least dozen are wounded.

TIE great amount of wheat that may be used in feeding is sufficient to materially reduce the quantity grown. We have, according to the census re- port, s,5OO,OOO horses and mules; 42,- 900, 900 hogs; 36,6OO, 900 cattle, and 16,- 800, OOO milch cows, not including sheep. The amount consumed in a year, even allowing for the use of corn also, would create demand at home nearly equal to that which we export.

BUILT 1900 YEARS AGO.
A Wooden Building Which Has Been
Treasure House For the Mikados.

4 Wooden Building Wh1ch has Bec0
Treasure House For the Mikados.
Japan possesses what is undoubtedly the
Oldest wooden structure in the world. It
contains the art treasures of the mikado
and is situated at Nara, which for some
years was the imperial residence. The
building is oblong in shape and is built Of
triangular logs Of wood. 1t rests on piles.
The wood used is Of native growth and
shows extraordinary lasting power, con-
sidering the trying climate which it has
had to endure for over 200 years. Pc
culiar feature about the logs OF which the
building is constructed is that in the parts
most exposed to the weather the logs are
thinner by several inches than those In q
more sheltered position, the wood having
gradually worn away. The treasures
which the storehouse contains are of great
antiquity and have only been seen by Eu-
ropeans during the last three years They
consist of rare and beautiful fabrics OF
Persian, Indian, Chinese and Turkish
manufacture and ancient articles OF yer
tu' from al1tparts of the world. Among
the objects of interest Is the earliest known
specimen of Japanese printing. Even to-
day many of the words are easily decipher-
able. The treasures have remained un-
disturbed in the same building for 200
years, and despite the troublous times
through which it has been in existence it
has never been injured or disturbed. Many
Of the treasures are still packed up in the
storehouse chamber underground, where
they have lain for hundreds of years, and
when they are brought to vie%, some new
light may be thrown upon the early history
of the country. They may and probably
will disclose much valuable information
about the other Asiatic countries, because
the collection is culled from all parts Of
Asia. and it is to treasures such as these
that we are indebted for most of our
knowledge of the early nations of the east
New York World.
