cording to alien methods, Although
Americans and American interests
have some time dominated 10 the

TYLER, Tex. Oct S0.-The negro
who so brutally assaulted and murder
ed Mrs. Bell, was captured yesterday
morning about o'clock, 3 miles from
Kilgore. Soon after the officers had
him handcuffed q mob of some 200
men, heavily armed, arrived on the
scene ind demanded the immediate
surrender Of the prisoner, which was
reluctantly given. The mob started
for the scene OF the murder, where they
arrived In the afternoon ut 3 o'clock.
The crowd continued TO gather until
nearly 1000 citizens OF Tyler and vicin.
ity were there. A few moments before
the fiend was brought to the place q
meeting was held and COM
mittce was appointed to investi.
gate his identity. Witnesses were
summoned and closely questioned.
The result was thorough identified
ton. In few minutes IN officer APP
peared from over the hill followed by
800 determined ana we'll armed men.
When near the scene the officers were
overpowered and disarmcd, and the
negro. Henry Hillard, brought before
the committee lie made full con.
fession to the effect that he had as.
saulted Mrs. Bell and then cut her
throat.
After his confession and thorough
Identification n vote yas taken as to
the mode of punishment 1t was unan-
imously agreed to burn him alive, and
that he should suffer the penalty on
the public square. The line OF march
was taken up toward Tyler. and
ut o'clock the head Of the
line entered the main street,
where no less than 1000 people
were arrested. A scaffold was erected
and the miserable culprit was burned
in the presence of the assembled thou
sands

The Notorious Murderer Faces Ills Acousers
In Ills Characteristic style.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 90. - II. ii.
Holmes, or Herman w. Mudgett,
which, he says, is his baptismal name,
was put on trial in the court OF oyer
and termincr yesterday for the murder
OF benjamin +. Pitezel, in this city on
September ., 1894. Protestations and
entreaties for the continuance OF the
trial were summarily overruled, the
sudden withdrawal of the law
yers who had hitherto repre-
scented the prisoner, in the face of
threats OF disbarmcnt; the appoint.
ment by the court OF new counsel,
and the refusal OF the prisoner to ac-
cept them us his defenders; the decli-
nation OF another lawyer to serve, after
being selected by Holmes, and, finally,
the prisoner trying his own casc-these
and sundry dramatic passages Mt arms
between Holmes and the common
wealth's prosecuting officer were the
features of the day.
Holmes, who, at the time of his ar
rest IN DOsIou Ou NoNcuocr ~, ius',
was n stockily built man of middle
height, has since his long confinement
grown gaunt and hollow-chested. The
prison bleach has brought his peaked
face to death-likc pallor, heightened
by the dark, close-cropped beard. In APP
pcarance, as he sat in the dock yesterday,
he was neatness itself. The beard was
carefully trimmed, the hair smoothly
parted and the black cheviot suit wore
betrayed no spot or blemish. His de-
meanor throughout, save on one or
two occasions when he gave way to
slight bursts of anger directed Mt the
district attorney, was characterized by
that marvellous display of nerve which
has become associated with his name.

PENSIONS.
Some Interesting Points from the
COMMISSIONER Report.
Nearly $4,000 Pensioners Died During the
Ysar-New Pension Claims Allowed
Amount Paid Out to Claimauts-
Other Items OF Interest

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-Commissioner
William l.. Lochren, Of the pension
Office. In his annual report, makes sew.
eral pointed suggestions. Under tho
head of patriotism and pensions" he
says: "Those men who enlisted carly
and fought the battles Of tho
war were not moved by mercenary
considerations, and unless actually
disabled did not show the haste In
applying for pensions manifested by
those who enlisted nearer the close OF
the war for large bounties and did
little actual service, and who are now
the noisiest In clamoring for more PEN
sions As compared with the latter
class, the old soldiers of the war have
been modest in preferring claims for
pensions"
The commissioner says that many
disreputable and incompetent men are
engaged as pension attorneys, and sug.
gests that none but reputable men be
allowed to practice in such cases.
Dishonest attorneys have given
much trouble by systematic, criminal
and fraudulent practices. Pension
payments, . the commissioner says,
bring large amounts OF money into
communities, and the fear that the
conviction Of these attorneys would
lessen the influx Of money has showed
itself in popular rancor against the
special examiners whose investiga-
tions secured the conviction of crimi-
nails The special examination division
will not require as much money
as in the past, for the reason
that vigorous prosecution Of frauds
and crimes has discouraged and meas
urably stopped frauds. The death Of
many witnesses and the age OF claim
ants has made 1t quite difficult in many
cases lately to obtain proof sufficient
for the granting Of pensions The
commissioner recommends that some
provision DO made for the maintenance
of deserving clerks in his bureau who
have been long in the service and have
become practically disabled.
The report shows that the number
OF pensioners June 30, 1894, was o6o,-
5ii; new pensioners added during the
year, 50, 1875; dropped pensioners re-
stored, 400; deaths during the year,
20,si6; dropped for causes, l4,575; max.
ing net increase Of pensioners
during the year of $50. Pension
claims allowed during the year,
39,ls5; denied, lO3, 355; cases pend
ing, 55a,elO. The appropriation
for the year was sl5O,Ooo, 900, and
there was paid during the year $685.
SO7.337. The estimates for pensions for
1897 are 100000 for pension pay
mcnts, ssOo,OOO for surgeons fees, and
Si50.0CO for clerk hire Mt the pension
agencies, and about 100000 for other
expenses.
The commissioner commcnds the
vigor OF the department OF justice and
of pension examiners in prosecuting
dishonest attorneys and others who
are engaged in pension frauds. Two
hundred and ninety-four persons were
convicted during the year for frauds.
