THE MOB SHUDDERED.
Face of the CoIOred Man They Ly ynched
Frightened Them.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 22.-Toa avenge
the death Of a white boy, Il mob of
armed men broke into the NJ organ county
jail. ut Wartburg, early yesterday, cap
turcd Charles Hurd. a colored man ccused
of the crime, and lynchcd him i'll grove
on the outskirts of the town.
Hurd was employed on the farm of
Capt. j. NJ. Kelly. near Crooked Fork,
and a week ago struck Keily's nineteen :
ycar-old son with a whiffletree during n
dispute ana killedhim. Bloodhounds trailed
the criminal 145 miles before he was
finally captured last Tuesday and lodged
in the tumbledo wn prison a the county seat.
The mob gathered quietly. surrounding
the jail. The jailer refused TO open the
outer door. Two men with sledge
hammers drove ln the panels. As the door
swung open the jaiier and his small guard
were confronted with every manner of wea
pom. and quickly obcyed the order TO I'M
lock the inner doors and deliver the pris-
oner. Hurd. helpless with fright. was
dragged out and taken to an oak tree i'll a
grove half mile from the town.
He admitted his guilt and said he de
served TO hang but he begged them not to
shoot him. He was placed stride of a
horse under the tree. the animal was given
a sharp cut with a hickory and shot from
under him. One of the party held a lighted
match to the mans ia &c. and such a llideous
picture was depicted that the mob stud
dered aud hid their faces. Not shot wa s
fired. The lynchers were preparing to
leave when the owner of the property be-
sought them to take the body off his prem :
ises. This was done. but it was soon dang
ling from another tree not a hundred yards
away.
Next Week the case would have been
called for trial.

AID FOR EX-CONFEDERATES
Congressman Otey Of Virginia Pro-
poses National Assistance.
duced In COngress-H VIII Gre
ate n Sensation.

Hon. Peter j. Otey, who represents the
Lynchburg district, Virginia, in the
House, has prepared a bill which will
create a sensation as soon as he Introduces
it In Congress.
Mr.. Otey's bin provides that the United
States Government shall appropriate an
nually n sum not to exceed 5 per cent.
on s27 ,0O0, 900, TO be applied Ia the relief
of disabled and dependent ex-Confederate
soldiers in proportion as each state of the
late Confederate States may appropriate
and eXpend for the same purpose.
Mr.. Otcy asks for this amount because,
as lie says, the abandoned property cap
tured from the people OF the Confederate
States and sold and covered into the United
States Treasury amounted TO S2I ,0Oo.Uoo.
The preamble TO this unusual measure
sets forth that while the United States is
under no obligation in law or usage to
make provision for those who fought
against the Union, il is recognized that
the Confederate soldiers are Dow lis own
citizens, paying taxes and discharging all
OF their duties as such in . patriotic man
ner, supporting cheerfully the United
States Government i'll peace ana eager 10
do so i'll war.
Aid is to be extended To disabled and
dependent ex-Confedcrates because the
United States, moved by the spirit Of hu-
manity, fraternity, and magnaninity TO
sympathiZe with those who have suffered
by the casualties OF war, desires To con-
tribute to the allcviatiun OF the necessities
and wants OF sIch as are not able in advanc-
ing years to support themselves.
The manner in which this assistance is
to he given is outlined a. follows: Tie gov
crnor Of any Confederate state will certify
10 the Treasurer Of the United states that
certain amount has been appropriated and
expended from the treasury of that State
for soldiers homes and their support, arti-
ficial limbs, and the maintenance and sup
port Of disabled and dependent eN-Confed-
crate soldiers or their widows, with sworn
statement OF the proper disbursing officer,
giving the names or those TO whori aid has
been furnished and the amount 10 each
and the amount expended ON soldiers homes
and their support. When this has been done
over IL the governors of the States comply
ing with the provisions stated above like
amount tu be similarly applied.
Mr.. Otey says that the objection that this
would be pensiunng X-Confederates i'll not
well put. Regular pensions average a per
capita of $3.50 of the population of the
United States by the census OF 1890, and this
bill carries an appropriation of only two
cents per capita OF the population.
1t will be interesting to nute how this
proposition will be received by Republican
statesmen who are hoping to break the solid
South in next years Presidential election.

JUDGES SAD PLIGHT.
Commits Many Afsurdities Upon the
Bench While Mentally Unbalanced.

Jersey City. y.Nov.22.-DistrictC Court Judge
John A. Mcirath. who was appointed by
GOV. Albeit in 1891 and is well known all
over the state, has been acting strangely
for several days.
On Tuesday he surprised the In wyers who
appeared before him by giving some very
queer decisions. Judge Puster. before he
left town. asked Judge McGrath To take his
place on the bench yesterday. Judge Nc
Grath did so, and he had hardly entered the
courtroom before ii became painfully applr-
ent that he was suffering from mental and
nervous troubles. The scene thai followed
was unprecedente in the history of the
court.
The judge started ffby ydenouncing James
F. Norton. the reporter who had published
a story yesterday commenting on his condt-
ton. He won nd up by ordering that the re-
porter be produc ced in court next week to an
swer for contempt. Then Judge McGrath
told a weird tale about an alleged attempt
that. be said. had been made the previous
night to kill him.
'Iwarded off the blows of the assassinS."
said he. ''or else they would have cut my
throat" He asked several lawyers to step
up and see the work. They saw no signs of
any murdcrous assault. Il talked TO God
last night and He helped me-" continued
the Judge. ..GOd saved me from the assaS-
sins.'' The judge talked on I'm this way for
nearly an hour.
He cracked peculiar jokes, and none ofthe
lawyers would try any importa nj case before
him. Finally Policeman Short and County
Collector Dugan prevailed upon the judge
To leave the courtroom. and they took him
home. His term expires next spring. His
friends are urging him to take a rest,

ANOTHER BLIND CHAPLAIN
Rev. H. N. Couden Would Like to
Preside Over House Devotions.
The Present Minister, DR.. Milburn,
In Charge OF the Senate,
Is Slghtless.

Rev. Ii. y. Couden of Michigan, who has
announced himself as candidate for the
office of chaplain OF the House of Repre-
sentatives, Is in the city. DR.. Couden is
blind, and promises il elected to put a limit
To the length of all his prayers. The time
limit on the prayers is almost enough to Sc
cure him an election, il is wen known
that the members of the House are not a all
in favor of long inyocations. Rev. DR.. Mil
burn chaplain Of the Senate, is also totally
blind.
Dr. Cuudrn is a Universalist minister and
resigned his pastorate at Port Huron last
spring. He is a veteran OF the late war,
and ii was during active service that he
lost his sight.
when President Lincoln made his first
call for $4,000 volunteers for a term of
three months, i'll April, 1861. Mr.. Coudcn
enlisted. He was then only eighteen years
OF age, and the first company he served
in WIS the sixth Ohio Infantry.
He rc.enlisted before the expiration OF
TIE three months in the same regiment for
three wears. lie was with McClelland in
the West Virginia campaign, aud was in
all of the important battles Of that cam
paicn. He was at Shiloh and was then
transferred to the First Mississippi Marine
Brigade in February, 1868.
During an enga cement with guerrillasnear
near Au stln MISS, on Nh lSD1i Ht Wds
wounded four times. and the horse he was
riding had eight balls In him. During the
fight DR.. Coudeu received load OF small
shot in the face and eyes, which imrnedi-
ately caused total blindness. After being
wounded DR.. Couden was honorabiy dis-
charged aud returned TO his home in IN
cinnau, where Ills eyes Were examined by
The noted oculists OF the time and his case
was pronounced hopeless.
Upon learning that there was no possl-
billy OF Ills ever seeing again, he entered
the institution for tie blind at Columbus,
Ohio, where he took a full course OF seven
years. He felt n strong desire to enter
lie ministry, and so took tie course at st.
Lawrence University, at Canton n. Y
DR.. Couden is the chaplain of the Mich
igan G. A. r., and has been quite active in
Grand Army work for q number of years.
Every city in which the blind pastor has
preached has indOrsed his candidacy, and
recommended him 10 the tender mercies of
their representatives.
Mr.. Couden, 50 his friends say. Will COM
mand quite a number of members from New
York, Kentucky. Missouri, Illinois. Ohio,
Massa chusetts Michigan. West Virginia.
Indiana, Minnesota. New Jersey, Iowa. and
Delaware. Almost all OF the members of
the Grand Army are said to be unanimous
in favor of giving him the place, and if that
is the case he will stand an excellent show
of election.
