Desperate Battle with = Mob 1t Timn,
Ohio.
TiFrIS, Ohio. Oct. 29.-In an attempt
carly yesterday morning to avenge the
murder of August Schultz, Tifin's pop
ular city marshal, who was shot in,
cold blood by Leander J. Martin. alias
Williams, u farmer of Hopcwell town
ship, last Wednesday evening, two
more victims were added to the tragic
affair. At lao o'clock a mob of LOO
Infatuated men, many of whom were
under the influence Of liquor, attacked
the Jail in an effort to secure Martin
and hang him. A volley from half q
dozen Winchesters met them and two
of the mob were killed. They were
Henry Mutchler, Jr., and Christian
| Matt.
As the mob made a rush toward the
Jail they emitted yclls that were blood
curdling, eclipsing any avage yell
ever uttered. A squad of policemen,
who had stationed themselves on the
steps, were whisked to one side as
though they were so many straws. Of
ficer Kciffer. who made - brave and
fierce resistance, was struck on the head
~ u SlVukC u OEututlN nIChCu.
He was carried home unconscious and
has been lowering between life and
death. Officer Fisher was thrown
against a brick wall and partially
stunned, and Officer liennessy was
tumbled over in the grass and kept
there by a rufian who held a murder
Gus looking club over him and threat
cncd death IL he did not lie still. The
other officers were treated in the same
way. The mob vent direct to the
side entrance and commenced the on
slaught on the door with their sledges.
The door was broken into splinters in
u short time. With each blow the
fury OF the crowd Increased.
When the entrance wa gained thecr
was a wild rush, and the hall way was
filled with excited G Sheriff Van
Nest and three men stood in the OPP
posite end. lie appealed to them most
brsvely and strongly several times,
asking them. for Gods sake, to dis
persc. IL did no good, for the men
only grew %fierccr. The entrance to
the corridor is first protected by "a
heavy sheet iron door. The lock was
broken off with u few blows. and then
there remained the heavy grating.
Then it was hat the guards,
VINO were III mat pOrtiOn, cga
to fire. At first they shot over the
rioters heads. A guard said the men
swore to kill every person inside, and,
to show their purpose, they began to
fire at them. The guards said no shot
was fired by them until the attacking
party had fired through the grating
first. Henry Mutschler. the first man
killed, was the one who carried the
rope. He was shot through the left
temple, the ball coming ont on the
right side, and he died instantly.
Then Christ Matz received u bullet
through the heart. He wa picked up
dead. This awful work and the deter
mination of the guards awed the
would-bc lynchers, and they left the
place, cursing and wilder than ever.
Between . and 4 o'clock, after the mob
had moved further down the street,
the prisoner was handcI,fted, taken
through a side door, and then 100
side alley, where n carriage was ~;
waiting. Police Captain Faulkner
and Officer Sweeney took him tn Sam
dusky county as fast as the horses
could carry them.

PEk1N IN CONFUSION.
State Oh Affairs Reigning In the

State on Affairs Reignfng In the
Chinese Capital.
The following mail advices have been re-
ceived by the steamer Empress Of Japan,
which has just arrived at Vancouver:
All is confusion in the city of Pekin, and
threatens to eliminate in panic. Scores
of cowardly officers have asked leave to
visit sick and aged parents. The govern
ment has refused them all.
Two American ladies were walking on LIE
cation street in Pekin when they were as
saulted by the soldiers, while the native
guard posted on the street for police pro-
lection looked on and grinned. The ladies'
garments were badly torn, but they man
aged to free themselves, and ran into the
house of the Russian legation, close by
The soldiers who assaulted the ladies were
afterward almost beaten to death by the
angry husbands OF the women. The Pekin
authorities have allowed the two ladies to
have guard of Russian soldiers to guard
them in their walk.
Particulars Of an attack by pirates on
the camp of two young Frenchmen near
Thainguyan are given. Messrs. Hearle and
Sabot were engaged in experimenting the
construction of an English line between
Chomol and Thainguyan. Hearle was on
his back and Sabot was in 'rickasha.
There were thirty in the party. Suddenly
the pirates made their appearance, and,
surrounding the party, demanded their sur
render Sabot refused, and he and the
guards fired. The fire was returned. Hearle
was killed by a shot in the neck, and nearly
all Of the laborers fell wounded. Sabot was
captured and carried off.
The Buddhist priests have been discharged
from Formoss by order of the Emperor of
Japan. owing to the number of spies being
caught posing as members of that frater-
nifty. Other provinces are to follow For
mosa's lead. The Buddhist church threat
ems to inf1ict punishment in retaliation sim
liar to accommodation.
Factions Among officials.
The London Times has a dispatch from
Pekin stating that the officials in the Chi
nese capital are largely ignorant of the sit
uation in respect Of Japan. Discussion Of
war questions is limited. The foreign Office.
especially the grand council. has few con-
situations with the ministers of the foreign
powers. These consultations are now fewer
than when Ii Hung Chang was in Pekin.
The Manchu people strongly resent the
idea of ceding Manchuria to Japan. The
former war faction is still strong, and ar
CUES the danger of. creating dissaffection
among the people. This faction is unwill-
ing to yield to Japan, but fears that resist
ance is impossible.
Prince Kung, the leader Of the peace
party, who has control of the foreign office
and the military and naval forces of the
empire, Is still In feeble health, and his
sick leave has been extended.

TESTS AT INDIAN HEAD.
Satisfactory Experiments Made Mt the
Proving Grounds Yesterday.

SnttSfn Glory Experiments Made at the
Proving Grounds Yesterday.
The several tests at the Indian Head
proving grounds Wednesday were satisfac-
tory. First, there was an acceptance test
of semi-armor- piercing 13-inch shell, car
rying large explosive charge. This was
required to pierce completely a finch nickel
steel plate and carry its bursting charge
through in condition to explode on the other
side. The shell was Of the Sterling type.
and completely met the conditions imposed.
Next came a test of fixed ammunition for
the 6-inch rapid FIJI e gun, the largest gun Of
this type intended for naval use. The shells
functioned perfectly.
There were experiments to settle an i'm
portant point that had been left unsettled.
ramely. the distance that fuse percussion
shells for 5-inch guns carried beyond a 3
inch plate before exploding. A plate was
supported on piles over the water. Behind
this stakes were pla" at intervals of six
feet. 1t was found that the shells after
perforating the plate burst at distances
ranging from ten to thirteen feet in the
rear. This insures the explosion Of the
shells in the interior Of ship If they get
through the side.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Let me invoke the potent influence of
your valuable journal to secure much need
ed attention to Mills statue Of Jackson in
Lafayette square.
In it's present condition-defiled by spar
rows and being consumed by verdigris;
with the old gun carriages rotting at its
base-it is a disgrace to the city and the
country at large, and subject of criticism
by many visitors.
The officer in charge might remedy this,
unless there is mo appropriation" In that
event, there certainly are enough admirers
Of Old Hickory to raise a fund sufficient to
snatch his effigy from corrosion and the I'M
cleanness of birds.
The chief trouble Is the pestiferous spar
rows. A live" wire attached to the statue
might eradicate that nuisance. ".
