LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug ia spec
ial from Lebanon, Ky, says: a mob
of about 10 men went to the SPRING
field Jail about : o'clock yesterday
morning and demanded of the jailer
the keys leading to the cells of Mat
thew Lewis ald Jesse Ray, who out
ragged Mrs. Shields. white woman,
recently. The jailer, seeing that
resistance was useless, handed over
the keys, and at once proceeded to
business. AS every one in the mob
was drunk none Of them seemed to
be able to unlock the jail doors. After
working at the locks and bolts with
out success they procured sledgeham-
mers and tried to batter down the
doors, The doors proved to strong
for them, however, and after two
hours hard work they abandoned the
job. They then emptied their rcyol-
vers into the cells of the Jail, but no
one was hit. Returning the keys to
the jailer they told him they would
be back again the following night,
and left town. The mob was com
posed of men from Washington and
Marion counties, none of them, it is
said, being from this city. The
sheriff of Washington county passed
through this city yesterday with the
prisoners, where the two negroes will
he confined until the excitement at
Springfield is over.

wants $4,000 for .Dollie.n

ATLANTA, Ga, July LA special
from Macon to the Constitution
tells of novel suit there. Author
l.. Wood is suing the Southern Ex-
press company for $4,000 dam
ages, which he claims for the loss
OF an opera, the only copy Of which
was destroyed by fire. The opera
was entitled "Dollie." Mr.. Wood
wrote this for one Bridges Smith.
The opera was being carried by the
express company when the car was
burned. No value had been placed
on the work when it was delivered
to defendant company, hence its
fight against paying the sum de-
manded. Wood got a verdict for
$475.

A sERIoCs DISCLOSURE.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The insur- r. ction in Cuba may be of much moment as affecting the interests of the United States in direction to which public at- tention has not been heretofore directed. It has, however, not escaped the vigilance of the officials of the marine hospital ser vice, who are much concerned over the aspect of the matter. Said Surgeon Gen. eral Wyman today: "The prospects for the coming season in sanitary point of view are most encouraging. We shall probably go through the summer without experiencing an epidemic of any sort. The only point of danger is Cuba. If Spain sends 5000 unacclimated troops 10 that island, as the dispatches indicate may be done, then we shall have to look out for yellow fever. 1t will inevitably strike among those raw troops, and the disease will rage with unusual virulence in Ha- vana. From there to the United States is not nights ride, and only the most wig utmost vigilance will keep it from our borders,p
