American Judge and His Cohorts-TrooPs
Now ON Guard.
CLEVELAND, Oct es.-A special dispatch
to The Leader from Tiffin, o., says: The
city has been shocked from center to cir
cumference over the attempt to lynch Mar
shall Shultz's slayer 1t is in q veritable
uproar, the streets having been thrOnged
all day with men, some filled with NOR
bid curiosity, but many with trouble writ
ten plainly on their faces. The mob that
attacked the Jail early yesterday morning
was composed Of the worst specimens OF
law-dcfiers that any community could pro-
auce. Whisky had been indulged in until
they were more like blood-thirsty wolves
than human beings. To reason with them
meant danger II not death to the peace
maker. The mob came from an entirely
unexpected source. The report was cur
rent that n crowd of farmers from Hope
well township was cOngregating and or
ganizing on the outskirts of the town, and
the attack was expected to be made by
them. But instead it was done by fellows
who had been circulating in the vicinity
of the Jail all evening.
The Mob Makes Its Attack.
1t was hardly supposed that they would
dare to do such a thing, and the police
made no effort to quiet them. Thus mat.
ters went on until, about Ills a. M, six
men gathered on the lawn about fifty feet
| from the Jail and in q moment about
thirty Others joined them. Then a sharp
whistle was heard and out of an alley on
| the opposite side of the street and u little
to the west rushed fully 800 more, the
leaders carrying u rope and several sledge-
hammers with which to accomplish their
| work. As the mob made the rush towards
the Jail they emitted yells that were blood
curiling. A squad of policemen which
had been stationed on the steps was
whisked to one side Officer Kciffer, who
made brave and fierce resistance, was
struck on the head with a sledge and
kicked brutally. He was carried home
| unconscious.
Sherln's Appeals Do No Good.
The mob went dircct.to the side entrance
and commenced the onslaught on the door
with slclgcs. Michael Schmidutz,a "A power
full teamster, welded the sledgc. He wa!
one of the drunken agitatOrs. The dOOl
| W as broken in splinters in q short time
and when the entrance was gained thcr,
was q wild rush and the hallway was fille(
with excited men. Sheriff Vannest ant
three men stood in the opposite end. HI
appealed to them most bravcly and strong
'4R1Dvenal times, asking them for God;
sake t&disp7se. 1t did no good, for TIN
mcn only grew fiercer. The entrance t,
the corridor Is first protected by a heavy
shces-iron door. The lock was broken of
with few blows and then there remained
the heavy grating.

 On the morning of the 4th there was an active filibuster alarm. A boat with, armed men was definitely reported at a. m. as having landed Just west of the city. There was great activity of the pe- lice and at Il a. m. the tug Elen went in pursuit of a boat reported as seen in the offng. It is considered probable that there was a landing made by opium smugglers.
 The prevailing opinion derdes the idea that any filibnsters intended to make an attempt to land here. Colonel Mclean availed himself of the excitement to order a prompt rally of the volunteer compa- nies for moonlight drill. About 300 turned out in good order and maneu- vered all over the city.
 The steamer China this morning posi- lively refused to carry mails. She had 300 children to land here. As she Is from cholera ports the board of health refused to permit them to land until the China would take the mails. This brought Cap tain Seabury to terms.

Corbett Has Left Texas.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 14.-After a stay of nine days in San Antonio Jim Cor bett and party left tonight for Hot Springs, where the champion will resume his training until the opposition of the officers there force him to move again. Corbett did not leave for his prospective field of battle in the best of spirits. He stated just before his departure that he believed the move was an unwise one, and he has no confidence in the state ments that the fight will be pulled off at Hot Springs and that protection is guar anteed.
 "Tn my opinion" said he. T will find Arkansas no better a place than Texas in which to fight, and I am still of the belief that the only choice of meeting Fitzsimmons in the ring in this country is for both of us to go to some quiet spot, where there will be no interference"
