FiREBUGS CAPTURED.
Taken In the Act of Firing a School House
Hard Work to Prevent Lynching-
The Streets of Meridian, Miss, Thronged
Encifad

Taken In the Act of Firing a School House
Hard Work to Prevent Lynching-
The Streets of Meridian. Miss. Thronged
with Excited Citizens-The Offense May
Prove Capital and Result in Hanging.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 16.-A special
from Meridian, Miss, says:
Excitement is at fever heat tonight
over the capture of two frebugs and
the wounding of a well-known citizen.
There were five fires yesterday, all be-
lieved to be of incendiary origin. Two
OF these fires were private residences
which were burned to the ground,
also the stores occupied by C. Kips and
Lowi Bros, ID. Rosenbaum's Sons; Fin
ley, barber shop, and Joseph A. Gully
Tonight VIM. G. Scham Der got wind
Of an attempt which was made to fire
the West End public school building
and notified Chief of Police Hassel and
Detectives Horne and Griffin. The
officers secreted themselves under the
steps of the school building, and after
few minutes waiting the firebugs
passed up the steps, and on the
officers emerging from their place of
concealment, they discovered the in
side Of the building to be in flames
They kept close watch, and in mo-
nent the two men passed through the
doors and into the arms of the officers,
who placed them under arrest.
The incendiaries proved to be Bob
Belk and Dudley Scott, two young
men who were reared in this CITY,
The officers had hard struggle to pre-
vent the firebugs from being lynched
on the spot. Mr.. Schamber, who fur
nished the information, was accident
ally shot by Detective Borne, who mis-
took him for one of the incendiaries.
Borne failed to see Schamber signal
and emptied load of shot into his
arm.
The widest excitement prevails, and
hundreds of men are on the streets at
this hour C1:30) discussing the affair
There is strong talk of lynching, but
cooler heads advise the mob to let
the law take its course. If it is proven
that the same parties fired the private
residence late last night, it will be
capital offense, for which they may
hang, as the laws of Mississippi pro-
vide that where party or parties set
fire to house, where anybody is in the
habit of sleeping, they shall be pun
ished by death.

SMALLPOX IN CHICAGO.

Tho Pest Spreading RapidI- for Wanssof
Ef:icieht and Intelligent Quarantine
Arrangements-One Hundred and Eigh.
ty-Six Patients Now in the Pesthouse, and
No Proper Provision Made for the Over
aow-Opposition to Vaccination Among
the Poles.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Twenty aew
cases Of smallpox were reported to,
day and yesterday to the department
of health and last weeks record was
126 cases. The health officers declare
the disease is spreading because the
facilities for the removal and quaran-
timing of stricken persons are totally
inadequate to meet the emergency
One of to-day's victims was Sister
Venamda, teacher in the bohemian
school at 113S Albany avenue. She
was removed to the pesthouse and the
school was closed by order Of the
health commissioner The pesthonse
is overcrowded with 1S6 patients and
part of the overflow is in the suspect
ward of the county hospital.
The lack of room in the proper hos
pital has made it necessary for the de-
partment to quarantine women and
children in private houses. The ply
sicians complain that the foreign pop
ulation Of the wards most affected by
the disease fail to report new cases
promptly. Decided opposition to vac
eination has been manifested by the,
Poles, which also handicaps the de-
partment in its work of stamping out
the disease. Children are allowed to
play around an infected house and the
ordinary precautions are not taken on
account of ignorance or prejudice. An
addition to the pesthouse will be fin
ished next Saturday.

Operation of Law-He Hauled Down
His Flag at Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, April II. = Rear-Ad.
miral John Irwin was placed on the
retired list Sunday by the operation of
law on reaching the age Of 81 years
He hauled down his flag on the Phila-
delphia at Honolulu. as Admiral Ben
ham did on the San Francisco at
Curacao five days ago. 1t is an
odd coincidence that both these
admirals, after forty years in the
navy, both having been appointed in
1S47, should retire aboardship in for
eign waters, without turning their
commands over to ranking successors,
and should both be brought home as
passengers in merchant vessels. Adj
miral Kirkland, who succeeds Ad-
miral Benham, is now in England
on his way to join the South
Atlantic squadron at Montevideo, and
Admiral Walker, who will command
the Pacific station, can not reach Hon
olulu for several days yet, having left
San Francisco for Honolulu April 7.
Commodore Slzerritt, commanding the
Asiatic squadron, becomes a rear adj
mlral, succeeding Admiral Irwin in
that rank. Commodore Joseph Fyffe,
now commandant of the Boston navy
yard, entered the navy on the same
day with Admiral Irwin, and is now at
the head of the list of commodores.

One Year of Democracy.

The record of the democratic party
for the year it has been in power is not
one to attract any sensible voter to its
support. Let us recapitulate just a few
Of the items in the account;
The financial panic.
The business depression.
The Wilson bill.
The repeal of the federal election
laws.
The sugar scandal in the senate.
The Bland seigniorage fraud
The policy of infamy in Hawaii
Josiah Quincyism.
And the loss Of millions Of dollars to
workingmen throughout the country BY
the asinine stupidity Of its efforts at
craftsmanship
What is there in this brief record of
one years lease of power to lead any
sensible man to support the demo
cratic party in any election-national,
state, county or city?-Toledo Blade.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 17.-In the
trial of the Coffins and Albert Reed in
the federal court yesterday, on charges
of wrecking the Indianapolis national
bank, the testimony Of George Boul-
ton, manager of the foreign exchange
department of the First national bank
of Chicago, caused sensation Boul
tons testimony strongly supported the
government theory that large sums of
of money received by the Coffins from
the Indianapolis bank were not sunk
in the cabinet company's business, but
were held in the hands of relatives to
be turned over again after the COM
pany and the bank had gone to pieces.
w. B. Numing, manager Of the Bos-
ton branch of the cabinet company,
said that when P. S. Coffin went to
Boston and sold out the concern he

Mckinley OF the Mckinley BIlI.

The west has seen Its error. The

between sections Of the same country
is short-sighted. He has learned by
bitter experience that governmental
policy which closes the factories closes
the markets to which he must look to
sell his produce. He has learned that
silent looms in the east mean fields
without fruit Ia the west He has
learned that the blessings he enjoys as
O citizen Of the United States, over the
citizen of any other country under the
sun exact their tribute, and can be
preserved only by sacrifice of self to
a degree. No event could SO thorough
ly test the sentiment Of the west as
the coming Of GOV. Mckinley. The
protective principle was before the
people in the person Of It's greatest
apostle, the author Of the law which
gave the nation Its greatest prosper
jty. 1t was not Mckinley. the victor
in two of the most remarka BILE cam
paigns of political history; 1t was not
Mckinley the statesman; it was Nc
Kinley of the Mckinley bill. The
cheers that smote the air upon his ap-
proach were no mere personal compli-
ment- They had a grander meaning.
They were the cry of people in
bondage, calling for deliverance. They

for Killing Mackey and Smell When Mrs.
Smell Received the Life Insurance.
WOOSTER, O., April 17.-At the trial
of James c. Wiggins, of Disl1o. Ind. j.,
charged with employing Dr. W. Brown,
OF the same place, to assassinate w.
A. Macl1ey, of this county, because the
latter would give damaging evidence
against Wiggins in the divorce suit of
Jacob Smell against his wife. Brown
made full confession impli-
eating Virgins. He says Wiggins
importuned him several times, but
that he refused, and only when
he was taking load of horses to Lima
did he consent. Wiggins gave him
the loaded revolver and bottle Of
strychnine. He was to use the poison
first and failing with that to shoot
Mackey. He was to receive 1000 for
killing Jacob Smell and 81, 900 for kill
ing Mackey. He received $50 cash.
Four hundred dollars was to have been
paid him Christmas and the balance
when Mrs. Smell received the insurance
on Mackey's life.
Brown now claims he did not shoot
Macl1ey for the money, but because he
feared Wiggins, who threatened him
if he did not do the job.
1t will be rememb bered about six
months ago Mackey was shot near Orr
Vile, while blowing his land 1t
was thought he was fatally injured,
but he recovered. Mackey's life had
