Lynched ut BakersvilIe.

Holland English, brutal wife muir
derer, was taken from the jail at Ba
kersvile early last Sunday morning
by mob of two hundred and hanged
to tree on the outskirts Of town.
There was strong talk Of lynching
when English was first imprisoned
about week before the hanging, but
it had apparently died out and the
sheriff had ceased to fear any trouble,
and when he was called up before day
last Sunday morning for the ostensi
BILE purpose OF admitting prisoner,
he did not suspect mob. When he
descended to the supposed officers he
was seized, bound and the keys TO the
murderer cell taken from his pocket
There had been no alarm given and n
few trusty leaders of the mob stole
into the Jail which was closely con-
nected to the sheriff's residence and
dragged the fated man from his cell.
English, confessing and pleading
for mercy, was borne to an apple tree
just outside of town and hanged. The
crime for which English was lynched
was one of the most brutal and afro.
cious ever committed in the State.
He and his wife had not lived together
for six months previous to her disap-
pearance two weeks ago. They were
both young and residents Of region
ten miles south of Cranberry. Eng
lish wanted to marry another woman
but his wronged wife refused to allow
him divorce. He tried to hire his
intended wife to poison Mrs. English
but she refused A week before the
murder the william and his wife were
seen together. This was the last time
she was seen until her dead body was
found in Toe River, six miles south OF
Cranberry. Her head was terribly
cut and bruised and had her shaw
tied about it. The william had beat
her 10 death by striking her in the
head with n stone, aud, after tying hel
shawl over her head, threw her deaC
body in the river He was at once ar
rested for the crime and the proof o
his guilt was SO strong that the people
took the law into their own hands anC
dealt vengeance to the atrocious apC
cowardly murderer of woman.
Mrs. English is said to be sistel
to W. W. Carroll, who is we'll known
to the people of Johnson City by hi
having lived here two or three years

Curtin for Chancellor.

tt is understood that Judge Jno. X.
Shields will not be a candidate for re-
election as Chancellor for the 18th
Chancery Division. 1t s the duty of
the Democrats not only to put out
candidate who Can be elected, but he
should be n lawyer who is qualified
and fitted for the place. Any lawyer
will not do. He must have n judicial
mind, and besides must have had the
experience az u practitioner
Judge Thomas Curtin, OF Bristol,
possessed all of these requirements and
the Democrats of that division should
nominate him, and compel him 10
make tho race. He can vic easily.
His popularity il Sullivan county
would bring him hundreds of Repubi'
can votes. Judge Curtin may not
want to run, but he can not refuse to
accept if nominated.

BiOting in Pennsylvania.

UNIoNTowN, PA, April 2 -The coke
strike ordered to begin this morning is
on and over one, half of the active
plants in the religion are idle. The
strikes are recruiting hourly and raid
ing and noting has begun. The en-
tire region was in fever of excitement
throughout the night and there is
every indication of a general strike
and serious trouble. The sherifs OF
Fayette and Westmoreland counties
have been called upon to protect pro-
perty. The coke companies have
furnished funds to pay them, and a
large number of deputies are being
sworn in, and armed with Winches-
ters Tomorrow is expected to be a
day of general rioting and disorder, and
men will be driven from every plant
where they show a disposition not to
work The foreign element met here
tonight in large numbers to discuss
the situation. They decided to COM
pei all foreigners in the region to join
the strikers.
On the first day no previous strike
in the history Of the coke region was
there SO much rioting as today and one
of the worst conflicts in the history OF
the coke industry is looked for.

LITERARY NOTES.

TERROR IN HORsEs.-Darwiu has re-
corded the remarkable fact hat almost
the only occasion upon which horses
are known to scream with terror, when
not suffering pain, is when they are
attacked by wolves; and Charles
Kingsley, IN one of his charming
Prose Idyis describes the conduct of
his horse when nunted fox passed
near it. 1t laid back its ears, barred
its teeth and bit at the air in the d.
rectiou of the fox. Kingsley account
ed for the hostile demonstration on
the part Of his horse by the TACT that
it was an old hunter. Excellent nat
uralist though he was, think he was
mistaken in his conclusion on this oc.
casIOn. A horse ridden after hounds
seldom, has chance ui serlng the OBJ
ject OF pursuit, and probably in nine
cases out of ten knows nothing about
it. Certainly hr could never learn
enough 10 acquire n savage hostility

Electric Powcr for March is OF more
than ordinary interest. Il gives in
brief description of the proceedings
at the Electric Light Convention re-
Gently held at Washington, including
all the papers read there at, shorn t
the unnecessary Yerbiage in which
convention lecturers are won't to en-
shroud their ideas. The papers treat
Ct new system of Transmission by
Polyphase Currents OF Central Sta
ton Switchboards, of Metallic Return
Currents in Street Railway Practice,
Storage Batteries, etc. etc. Prof. Nj
chols, of Cornell University, continues
his erudite articles on the "Galvanom-
eter," and DR.. Louis Bell concludes
his treatise on "Polyphase Currents"
Mr.. Julius Sachs explains novel
method of utilizing electric power on
the canals, consisting OF small cleo
trio power on the canals, consisting of
a small electric locomotive on the bank
pulling the boat in the canal, and
supports his theory by figures of cost,
etc. To balance these scientific pa
pers papers, we are given a number
Iof illustrated descriptive articles of
foreign stations, new apparatus, etc.
The editorials treat of the tendency
toward establishing municipal electric
light plants which is roun1ly de-
Inounced as inadvisable in these days
of municipal dishonesty, OF "Propul-
sion Of Canalboats by Electricity" etc
Altogether the number can not fail to
interest every reader, as it has Us.

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condirion of the mucous lin
ing of the Enstachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, ard unless the infamma-
ton can he taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear

cases oui OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
