uYNcHeD At pANvtLLe. III.
Citisess Take the Law Into Their own
Hant1n.


HANvILLE, Ill, May c7.-4 a. M
Early this morning q mob which had
been in possession Of Vermillion coun-
TVS jail for several hours succeeded in
locating John Halls, Jr., and William
Royce in their cells, took them outside
and hanged them for assaulting Miss
Laura Barnett.
The story of the crime was the topic
of discussion here all day. Business
was practically suspended and shop
keepers and their clerks gathered in
knots on the street corners and dis
cussed the affair with farmers who
focked to the city during the day. Short
ly after nightfall ominous mutterlngs
were heard and some openly counseled
the more quiet of their neighbors to
take summary vengeance on the per-
petrators of the crime and not take the
chances of the laws delay or the tech
nicalities which might arise and even
tually free the men.
AS early as 10 o'clock the crowd con-
gregated on the main street, and it
only needed a venturesome leader to
proceed to the Jail at once. That leader
was soon found. From whispered
threats the cry arose for vengeance,
swelling on the night air until it
echoed and reechoed from one end of
Danville to the other. A rush was
made for the Jail, where, under fear of
just such proceeding, the guard had
been reinforced, but constituted only
a handful Of men to face frenzied,
bloodthirsty mob, wrought up to an
indescribable pitch and bent only
on having the lives Of the two COVER
ing men within. Clamoring at the Jail
doors, the mob was met by Sheriff
Thompson, who denied admission and,
retiring behind the doors, locked and
doubled bolted them.
The crowd procured telegraph pole
and railroad iron, and at 1880 bat
siegers thronged in and commenced
work on the inner door.
At 9 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent
for Judge Bookwalter, of the circuit
court, who addressed the crowd from
the Jail corridor. He counseled them
to peace and order, and for minute,
and but a minute only, his words
were needed. Then another desperate
attempt was made to reach the cells
where the two men were secreted.
Finally Royce was located crouching
and shivering with fear. His cell door
was quickly battered down. A
score of hands dragged him unceremo-
niously from his hiding place un-
derneath the wooden bench which
serves prisoners as their bed. Half
dragged and half pushed he was
hustled into the dining-room and seat
ed on the table. A rope was placed
over his head, and while part of the
mob kept close guard over him the
others continued the search for Halls
until he was discovered in another and
more remote portion of the Jail.
At 3:15 o'clock the mob secured both
of the prisoners and started toward the
bridge with ropes about their necks.
They were hanged almost upon the
scene of their crime.

gresham w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska,
replied Friday night to the speech on
the monetary issue delivered across
the street on Thursday afternoon
by Secretary Carlisle. In the course
Of his speech Mr.. Bryan said:
Il have read the speech delivered by Mr.
Carlisle in this city on Thursday; also the one
delivered by him in Covington. KY. last Nom
day evening, and I have compared them with
the speech delivered by him on the 2lst of Feb
ruary, 1873, in the house of Representatives. and
I am reminded of the language used by David in
lamenting the death of Saul: How are the
mighty fallen?" In 1873 Mr. Carlisle was hurl-
ing the pebble Of truth at the giant OF the Phil
1St1neS John Sherman: to-day, as q Goliath.
he daily issues challenges to his former
friends His speech of 1878 was made when he
was 4S years old, IN the full possession of his
physical strength and mental vigor. He had
then been prActictng lawyer for twenty
years; q member OF the state legislature Of
Kentucky and lieutenant governor of that
state, and was then member Of congress-
Mr.. Carlisle did not refer. at Memphis. to
his speech Of 1875 but he did refer to it At Cow
anRton and said: Some OF the opinions then
expressed have been modified, and some
Of them have been changed alto
gether by subsequent events and by
more thorough investigation OF the
subjects to which they related but, on the
question Of free coinage my convictions have
never been shaken for moment but he did
not state, even at Covington, what parts Of his
former speech he repudiated, and what parts
he modified. He served in the house
and senate for about fifteen years
after the making Of that speech
and never, upon q single occasion did he at
tempt to withdraw the utterances of 1873 or ia
modify the emphasis with which he then spoke.
''It is true that in 1873 Mr. Carlisle did say
that he was opposed to the free coinage Of sill

stated that he WAS at that time onnosad to the

We have all our part to do, also. We
have made too many superficial and al

not recognized, nor even seen for ourselves,
the real and substantial dignity of work
about which so many fine phrases have
been framed We all have cur measure Of

is bearing any real, sore burden of help
lessness or pain is demoralized by the
helplessness which it entails. The effect
is usually in the other direction. to en-

which is the result not of necessity, but of

toward the speedy disintegraton Of

Every community presents its own
phase Of these problems, and they must
be solved, if at all, in its own conditions
