ST. PAUL, MINI, June 2.-Ambrose
Osborne. a negro, 2S years of age,
narrowly escaped death at the hands
of mob at 5 o'clock this morning at
the corner of Lexington avenue and
Inglehart street. Shortly after 4
o'clock Osborne entered the home Of
three sisters. Maggie, Frida and An
ME kitchell. aged %, IS and II. Os-
borne seized Frida by the throat and
began choking her. The other sisters
were awakened by the scuffle ard ran
out to the street and gave the alarm.
Anton Kitchell, who lives close by,
was the first to respond and ran after
the brute. The chase was hot one
for a mile, but the negro finally gave
up and was brought back to the corner
OF Lexington and Inglehart, where
the whole neighborhood had been
aroused, apprised of the brute's act
and were ready for lynching bee.
Osborne was led to a tree, a rope Sc
cured, and he was given few min
utes to confess. This he did and was
swung to the limb of a maple tree.
This threw the women into Mysteries
ana kitchell, the captor, begged that
Osborne be spared. He was thereupon
taken down and turned over to the
nolice.

ing came abruptly face to face with
Francois Rapin, whom he had nol
seen since the announcement Of the
coming nuptials. Somehow it was a
surprise, but Rapins face showed a
quick smile
Harding stopped short in his tracks,
and would have probably put forth his
hand in friendly offer of salutatlon ;
but Just then his hat was lightly tapped
from his head by Rapin who immedi-
ately picked it up and handed 1t to
him, saying:
Monsieur Harding will now re-
member his promise to teach me the
mysterious stroke of NJ. Duval."
He bowed low and was gone; while
card tluttered down at Harding $
feet; it bore Rapin's S address.
At first Harding's heat of temper
was great, but reflection led him to
consult his friends, who ridiculed the
thought Of duel. He was glad to
escape, for, although a born tighter,
this was no time to be risking his life
or to be killing man.
He had however, consulted but one
side of that advisory board which al
ways exists in such cases. His North
ern friends were unanimously opposed
to the duel, but he must be frank and
Iav the matter before his fiancee' S
family.
You must fight him, sir, said
Montmartin.
"Of course, there is but one way
open to a gentleman, sighed Marie
YOU must challenge him.
The Montmartin household and all
the Montmartin circle were as unit
on this point. No evasion was to be
considered, since Rapin smIlingly re-
fused to apologize, and SO Harding
sent the challenge, which was prompt
ly accepted.

BLACK BUCKNER BUCKS.
But the Illinois Legislature Rejects His
Bloody Shirt

blOOQy
SPRINGFIELD. Ills, June IA bill
appropriating $4,000 to enable the
State of Illinois to participate IN the
Atlanta exposition passed the House
today by vote of 70 ayes to IS nays.
The bill, which was introduced in the
Senate by Henry Evans, Republican
Of Kane county, passed that body
some time ago, but when it went to
the House the appropriations commit
tee made an unfavorable report on it:
Col. Jonathan Merriam of Tazwell
county, a distinguished Federal soldier
took up the fight for the bill and
through his efforts it was taken from
the public table and advanced on the
calendar. Today he called it up
again and it was read third time and
placed on its passage.
The debate which followed was a
stirring one. John G, Buckner, a col
ored Representative from Chicago,
took the floor against the measure and
made an attack on the bill. He said
the members of his race could not at
tend the exposition and be treated as
citizens of a great State. With bitter
ness he spoke of the lynching Of col.
ored men in the South and declared
his hostility to any measure that would
benefit the South until colored men
were allowed their rights in the South.
ern States. He declared that at some
of the building erected at the World S
Fair by Southern States, the blacklist
Hottentot was welcome, while colored
citizens were denied admittance.
Col. Merriam, in defending the bill,
said: Il am informed that 25, 600 old
soldiers have already signifed their
purpose to visit the Atlanta Exposition.
They are survivors of the legions who
bore the flag through storms of shot
and shell as they fought their bloody
way under the leadership of Sherman
and Logan across the valleys of Re
SAGA and up the heights of kenesaw
until their victorious banners waved
about Atlanta, and thence took their
way to the sea. Now, after thirty years
Of peace, with fraternal feelings re-
stored, they want to meet again under
that flag as it floats over that historic
city and greet with friendly clasp the
brave men who fought with elual de-
votion for the lost cause, and there
demonstrate anew tina, peace hath her
victories no less renowned than war.
Col. Bryan of DuPage called Mr..
Buckner's attention to the fact that
the colored people had been recognized
in the Atlanta Exposition, and as a
Republican he deplored the attempt
made to excite any feeling against the
South. Other speeches in the same
vein were made

4 LIQUOR Constable Killed.

CLINTON, June This morning
about half-past 10 o'clock eX-State
Constable John Workman and State
Constable Sam Duncan engaged In a
shooting scrape, in which Workman
was killed. It seems that Workman
thought that Duncan had something
to do with his discharge from the force
last year and approached Duncan in
regard to it this morning The first
thing anyone discovered was Work
man hitting Duncan with stick. He
struck him twice with stick and
Duncan grabbed the stick. Workman
then shot him twice in the hips, and
Duncan then shot Workman three
times, once under the arm, once IN the
stand once in the back of the head.
Workman fell and was carried off.
Duncan gave himself up and wired
the sheriff to come for him. The ver-
dict of the coroner's jury was that
Workman came to his death by gun.

Duncan. 1t seems to have been a case
of self-defence.

Irish Potatoes

The North Carolina Experiment
station gives the following rules for
making a second crop of Irish potatoes:
The potatoes from which it is desired
to grow the second crop should be al
lowed to remanin where they grew till
perfectly ripe and the tops are dead.
If they are selected from the culls in
digging the partly matured crop for
shipping, there will be much uncer-
tainty as to their sprouting. When
the tops are dead take them up and al
low them to remain a day or so ex-
posed to the light until they turn
greenish. Then spread them in any
convenient place on the ground and
cover with pine or other straw.
Sprinkle the straw and thereafter never
allow it to get all through. Prepare
the land as for the early crop except
that the fertilization need not be so
heavy. and run out the rows by going
twice in a furrow with a rn-plow
and clean out the furrow full six in
ches deep. As the potatoes under the
straw begin to start the eyes. which
will be from The first to the middle Of
August, plant them in the deep fur
rows but cover them not more than
an inch over the top Of the tubers un-
til the Green leaves begin TO grow.
Then gradually fill in the soil to them
as they grow, until it is level. The
after culture must be as level as posi-
bic and no hilling should be done, the
object at this season Of tie year be-
ing to prevent the drying out of the
soil. the potatoes will sprout earlier
if. before bedding them under the
straw, a small piece is clipped off one
end and rejected. No further cutting
should be done when planting. The
planting should all be done by the
middle of August. This crop will
grow green until the frost cuts the
tops down, and their immaturity pre-
vents their sprouting before planting
time, 50 that when they grow it is
with the strong growth Of the termi-
nal bud, which gives them great ad-
vantage over the nothern potatoes,
that have been long out of the ground
and have had the sprouts rubbed Off
them in the cellar.
