FIRED INTO THE MOB.
Militia Protect a Negro Pris-
 oner Tn Ohio.
THE TROUBLE NOT YET ENDED

Two Men Ire Killo d, Four Fatally Wounded and About One Dozen In- jured In the Fight-The Mob Threat ems to Dynamite the Courthouse, but Further Trouble Is Over.
 WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, Oct. 19.-- Two persons were killed outright, four fatally wounded and some 19 or 20 hurt by bullets from the guns of the militia here late Wednesday evening.
 The following is the list of the dead and those badly wounded.
 Smith Welsh, aged IS, son of prom inent grocer, shot through the head.
 Jesse Judy, aged %, mechanic, shot through the head.
 Madison Johnson of Williamsburg, shot through the stomach.
 William Sans, shot through the bow els; fatally wounded.
 George Heating, aged l4, was shot in both legs and groin; will die.
 F. L. Nitterhouse, an old and prom inent citizen, was shot through both ankles.
 A full list of the wounded cannot be had, as they were taken away promptly, but the following are known to be hurt: Theodore Zimmerman, Daile Parrott, John McCune, John Korn, Ernest Ellis and Frank Smith.
 Upon the firing the mob dispersed in all directions. Immediately all places of business in the city were shut up. Mayor Dreamer peremtorily closed the saloons. Every street was filled with people. No time was lost in carrying away the dead and wounded. Business houses and the enginehouse were con- verted into hospitals. All the surgeons in the city were called into service. Mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts crowded around the dead and wounded and added pathos to the scene and added fire to the rage of the mob by their la mentations. Against the militia the indig- nation is bitter, vicious and vehement.
 The trouble was over negro. Will liam Dolby, colored, who one week ago criminally assaulted Mrs. Mary c. Boyd, aged 55 years, at Parrots station, near here, and who was captured at Della ware, O., was brought into court at o'clock yesterday afternoon. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to % years il the penitentiary.
 A mob thought the prisoner ought tc be put to death, and undertook the tasl with the above results.
 For two days q mob have been hel( at bay by tho militia, which was ordered here by Governor Mckinley at the re quest of the sheriff.
 The militia did all they could to keeI from firing upon the crowd, but were forced to resort to the radical move.
 The mob, after the shooting, threat ened to blow up the courthouse, wher, the prisoner is guarded, with dynamite and there is no telling yet when tht trouble will end.
 The militia declare they will protect the negro at all hazards, and more troops are on their way to the scene.

 CINoINNATTI, Oct l9--A dispatch received here from Washington Court house, O., says: Blood has been spilled at Washington Courthouse, and it will rest with an investigation to de- termine whether or not the troops were authorized to resort to this last step in the discharge of asworn duty. Whatever may be the result of this finding. it is doubtful if the people of Cayette county will ever regard those who died last night at the hands of the militia ss other than martyrs i'll a righteous cause, although some at least of them were, when they received their death wounds, engaged i'll unlawful acts.
 ''In the case of the negro, William Dolby, or Jasper, the usually conserya- tive and lawabiding citizens of this county lost all sight Of the legal aspects of the case and could sec but the scoun- drel and the gray-haired woman who was his victim. Each had in his mind death as the punishment Of the guilty wretch. And to enforce that judge- ment, he came here armed to resist and overpower, If need be, all the authori- ties created and maintained by him.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.--The success AZ
the flibuster against the Bland silver
ssigniorage bill forced the Democratic ad.
vocates Of the measure to invoke the do
cree of . caucus, and Immediately after
adjournment caucus was held in the
hall Of the house to consider the situation.
There were present 130 Democrats, but
not Democrat who joined In the OBJ

sentiment In the caucus, there fore, was
all favorable to the BILL and two resolu-
tions were adopted, one to keep the
seigniorage bill before the house to the
exclusion of everything until disposed of,
and the other expressing il as the sense of
the caucus that IL was the duty of every
Democratic member to be present and
vote either for or against the bill.
Mr.. Boatner presided and advocated n
resolution to instruct the committee on

resolution.

unusually devoid of interest Senator

TRYING TO SAVE HIM.
Boss McKane's Lawyers. Secure a
Stay of Proceedings.
Bu The AssOclafed Pros

BRooKLyA, .. 2J.r-John Y. McKane,
the convicted Gravesend political boss,
was sentenced by Justice Bartlett to six
years imprisonment in the state prison
at Sing Sing. When the judge pro-
nounced the sentence McKane turned
deathly pale aud clutched the railing be-
fore him. and tears rolled down his
cheeks
AS Justice Bartlett spoke the prisoners 8
face had gradually grown whittier, and as
the words six years" fell on his ears,
his countenance turned pallid. He
started to go to his chair, with his eyes
closed. As he felt his way along, like a
man stricken blind by the severity Of the
sentence, Sheriff Buttling took him by the
arm and helped him to a seat.
Then the courtroom burst into an up
roar. The court officers and the judge
vainly cndeayored TO restore order. The
lawyers tried TO talk to the court but they
could not be heard.
Sheriff Buttling took the prisoner into
side room and kept him there until a
squad OF policemen cleared the halls.
After that he took him TO the sheriff s
Office and then to the iail.
Stay of Proceedings Secured.
At o'clock last evening Lawyer Rod
erick succeeded in getting from Justice
Edgar VI. Cullen a stay OF proceedings in
the McKane case until Friday next
The hearing will take place on Friday
before Justice Cullen in the supreme
court, Brooklyn.
After McKane was taken back to Jail,
Lawyer Roderick and Colonel James at
once began to work on the papers on
which an appeal for a stay was TO be
made. They worked all day long, and il
was nearly 9p. IN. when the papers were
finished. Mr.. Roderick then hurried to
the home of Judge Cullen.
The judge was getting ready to retire
for the night. Mr. Roderick presented
his case, and after long argument JUS
tice Cullen finally granted stay until
Friday next TO McKane.
When Mr. Roderick received the judges
signature to the papers he fastened to the
Jail, where he served the papers on Sheriff
Buttling McKane, who was asleep, was
awakened. and when told that a stay had
been granted. he merely said that he
thought it would.
1t is said that the lawyers for McKane
appealed To Judge Pratt for stay, but he
refused to listen to them.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20 Senator voor-
hees received from Boston huge peti-
ton in book form for the passage of the

DEAR SIR-Therc is sent herewith TO you, as

state OF Massachusetts,, representing all
classes and occupations, as well as varying
political opinions. This petition has been CIR
culated without expense, and the signatures
have been obi aimed without effort and with
out intimidation.
Many OF the signers are workingmen; others
have large financial interests in the so-called
protected industries. There are merchants
and capitalists; lifelong Democrats and men
who have been in timas past towers Of
strength TO the Republican party.
An analysis Of the names Will probably
show that both la number and character OF
interests involved. the petition is more repre-
sentative OF tho manufactures, trade and
labor of Massachusetts than any which has
been sent from the Bay state to Washington
for many years past.
The readiness with which the petition has
been signed by those TO whom IL was pre-
senied makes II entirely clear that the great
mass OF Democrats Of this state, as we'll as
large numbers of Republicans. look forward
with hope TO the wider market and the quick
ened industry which fre, wool, free coal and
free iron ore will bring. and that they well
ba felt Of Al fvo nd Hpf NET
taxation which Is promised by the Wilson
tariff. Yours truly,
