Many persons are skeptical about the
practical use of the higher values of our
United States stamps for the payment of
ordinary postage and imagine, sometimes,
that a IS stamp would only be purchased
by collector as a curiosity. F. /. Noble,
the well known fire insurance agent of this
city, who is also an ardent stamp collector,
showed a Journal man wrapper, yes
terday, from package of securities sent
from New York to London, England, by reg
istered mail, and upon the wrapper are II
90-cent stamps of the issue of 1890, making
the total postage p.id, Sl0,S0. This amount
would represent the postage required
on package weighing 10 pounds and
four ounces, besides the register-fee,
at foreign rates. By many it is supposed
that four pounds is the limit of weight on
any thing nlailable but this rule applies only
to third and fourth class ml;ter, fir't
class matter not being limited.

sExTUPLE LYNCHINe.

FrIghtfuI Fate Of a GangOf Tennessee Barn
Burners-ShOt to Death By Enraged Citl-
zens-They Were I'm Charge OF the Sheriff,
Chained Together, When Overtaken by
the Mob-The Lynchers Escape in Dark
ness.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 2.-News comes
of the lynching of six negroes in the
northern part of the county, miles
north of Millington, village on the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad.
For year or more the people of that
part of the country have been kept in
continual state of excitement by
acts of incendiarism. Barns and dwell
ings have been burned, and recently
the buildings on the Millington fair
grounds were destroyed Suspicion
pointed to Dan Hawkins, Robert
HAYNES, Warner Williams, Ed Ball,
John Haynes and Graham White, and
on Friday they were arrested near
Kerrville, in the western part of the
county, by Deputy Sheriff Richardson.
Later in the day the deputy started
with his prisoners in wagon for Mil
lington, where they were TO have
preliminary examination before
magistrate. The six negroes were
chained together.
About midnight when the party was
nearing Millington it was stopped by a
mob of fifty men armed with shotguns,
who killed all the prisoners, and then,
remounting their horses, which were
tied near by, rode away in the dark
ness. The lynchers were not masked,
but the officer being new to that sec
tion of the country, recognized none Of
them.
An inquest was held on the bodies
and the jury, which included two me-
groes, found that the prisoners had
come to their death in the manner
stated, ''at the hands of persons un-
known"
The new sheriff of the county, who
enters upon his office to-day will take
the matter in hand promptly and vigor-
ously.

Coal in wsakley County.

Mr.. R. w. Turner nine years ago
bought the DIR. p. A. Cashon farm, con-
sisting of 146 acres, situated two miles
east of Latham, on the Fulton and
Palmersville road. Soon after buying
the farm Mr.. Turner dug we'll, and at
depth of 90 feet he came to stratum
that is pronounced to be coal. Twenty
years ago well was dug on the farm in
a different section and the same sub
stance was found, but the owner had no
faith in the claim then made that the
matter was worth investigating. After
lapse of nine years Mr.. Turner again
dug we'll on the farm, and this time
he became convinced that he probably
had fortune in his farm in the shape
of an immense coal field. After dig
ging to depth of 30 feet for water he
came to this coal, which proved to be
20 feet thick. TheE a grayish sub
stance, which some call soapstone, was
struck and found to be five feet thick.
The we'll was then dug considerably
deeper, all the while the subsistence said
to be coal being drawn out, and the end
of it was not reached. There is gas in
the we'll, strong indication that it is
coal. A man had to leave the we'll Once,
the odor was so strong, and when dirt
falls to the bottom the gas is forced up
SO az to be plainly smelled by persons
standing by. If Mr.. Turner finds that
the coal is there in sufficient quantity,
and of good enough quality to justify
it, he will sink shaft and work it for
all it is worth. Both kinds found burn
we'll and all who have seen it think
there is no doubt of it being genuine
coal, and think Mr.. Turner can reap
rich harvest from his lucky find. Spec
linens have been sent to Nashville to be
analyzed.

Death of Ex-Gov. Samuel j. KIrkwOod, of
Old Age.


Old Age.
DEs MONIES. Ia, Sept. 2.-Samuel J..
Kirkwood, Iowa's famous war gov
ernor, died at his home in Iowa City
at 1:15 yesterday afternoon. Death re-
suited from old age. He was 81 years
old, and had been feeble for several
years.
Gov. Kirkwood was greatly beloved
in Iowa, and during recent years party
lines have been bound together in do
ing him honor. He was born in Mary
land, but removed to Mansfield. o., in
early life, where he practiced law and
was a member of the state senate and
constitutional convention.
He came to Iowa in 1855, and inn
mediately took an active part in the af-
fairs of the state. He was elected to
the state senate the next year and be-
came the republican leader. In 1859 he
was elected governor, defeating Gen.
Augustus G. Dodge, the democratic
candidate. The war opened during his
term, and he responded promptly with
Iowa's quota of troops.
He was reelected governor in 1862
and served another two years. he
served in the United States senate in
1866 and 1867 filling the unexpired
term of Senator Harlan. He then re-
tired to private life until 1875 when he
was again elected governor, but re-
signed in 1877 to go to the senate again
by election. He served four years in
the senate and then entered President
Garfeld's cabinet as secretary of the
interior After the death of the presi-
dent he returned to private life.

brain trouble which has caused him
two years suffering is expected to re-
suit in his death in very short time,
in fact it is expected that he will not
live out the night. DIR. Cutler is in
constant attendance and will not leave
him until the end comes or, as is hardly
probable, he shows signs of improve
ment. Mrs. Banks and Miss Maud
Banks, arc with him and his son,
Joseph Banks, of New York, has been
telegraphed for. The wife of Rev. Paul
Sterling, a second daughter has also
been notified.
Gen. Banks, as is well-known, has been
decidedly feeble mentally for more
than two years. The first of this
summer the malady seemed to get a
hrmer grip on his intellect, and his
family took HIM to Deer Isle, Me-, /,
thinking that a change of scene and
air might help him. He showed no
signs of improvement, however, and
about ten days ago, as he was much
worse, he was brought home. His de-
cline continuing, he was taken to the
Mclean hospital in Somerville the first
of this week, but within few days he
had so far succumbed to the disease of
the mind that he no longer recognized
the members of his family Last night
he was taken from the hospital to his
home, and now his life is despaired of.

Three weeks ago Mr.. Tink Norman,

stepped on corncob and slipped, hurt
ing himself slightly, the supposition

worked with cross-cut saw, and the
next day he did not feel we'll and did
not work. One day while fishing he
was suddenly stricken with paralysis,
and last week died after having suffered
excruciating agony for five days, De-
ceased was about 55 old and leaves a
wife and two children to mourn his sad
and untimely death. He was an indus
trious man and good citizen. He bad
recently bought him home and was
working hard to pay for it, and his
