stick.
Mr.. Hill thanked the council for their

Recently there were suspicious of
erookedness and Monday night he dis
appeared. 1t is believed by some that
he has committed suicide. but most
people think that he has fed with his
ill-gotten wealth.
Yesterday forged mortgages for $780,
900 were sent here from Dayton, o.
These were followed by bogus bonds
for $751; from the Farmers bank of
Merchandising. and for Sl2, 600 from,
the Michigan Insurance Co. There is
a showing already of over 500, 600
fraudulent bonds held by the banks
and money lenders, and it is believed
the returns are not allin. These bonds
are handsomely Autographed, includ-
ing the official signature to them.
The audacity of the forgeries is mag.
nified by the fact that the bonds were
all on counties and towns within a
days carriage drive from Urbana.
Lewis sold none of these bonds, but
used them as collateral for loans. He

AN ARKANSAS MOB.
Negroes Lynehed for Numbering q White
Man.


CAMDEN, Ark, July 15.-About 12
o'clock Saturday night at Hampton, 30
miles east of here, two negroes were
mobbed by seventy-f men. Two
weeks ago white man by the name
of Martin was killed by three negroes.
Two of them were arrested and con-
fined in Jail. A mob gathered several
nights ago, but were persuaded to desist.
Last night there was another gather
ing, and seventy-five determined men
marched to the jail and demanded OF
the sheriff the surrender of the muir
derers. 1t was useless to resist such a
force with but handful of men to
summon to his aid, so the keys were
delivered to the mob. The culprits
were carried to the neighboring forest
and hanged to trees. The men were
not masked. and made no effort to con.
ceal their identity. Two years ago
race riot occurred in Calhoun county
The negroes greatly outnumber the
whites, and further trouble is expected.

AN ARMY OF SERVANTS.
The Number In Queen yictoria's Household
Is just Ten Hundred.

The Number In Queen Victoria's Household
Is just Ten Hundred.
Queen Victoria's household is large
one, consisting of just under thou
sand persons, for the maintenance of
whom the nation sets apart the sum of
two million five hundred thousand
dollars every year. Most of the posts
are sinecures or fixtures for life.
In the early part of Queen Vietoria's
reign a mistress of the robes may pos
sibly have done a few hours work in
the year, giving orders that the APP
parel of the sovereign should be care
fully preserved from moth and rust,
renewing the regal ermine, velvet and
lace at stated times and seeing
that the crown jewels were always
locked up safely after a public airing.
She could also affix her signature to
warrants empowering one worthy
tradesman to sell sewing cotton to the
royal household and allowing others
to put the royal arms over their doors
because their various wares were
bought by personages of illustrious de-
gree.
Harriet Sutherland's signature was
always most as good an addition to
business advertisements as To the
Queen" emblazoned in big gilt letters
over the shops.
Some of the posts are entirely orna-
mental and others have very little
duty attached to them. Probably the
only additions to the household since
the time of Henry VIII. are two steam
apparatus men.
Although there is no longer royal
barge nor any pageantry on the
Thames there are still bargemaster
and waterman with a salary each of
two thousand dollars year.
For two hundred years there has
been no hawking in the forest of Wind
sor, but the office of grand falconer.
held by the duke of st. Adams, has
only been suppressed within the last
two years.
There are four table deckers. whose
sole duty is to lay the dinner cloth and
see that the plates, dishes and cutlery
are fairly set forth.
There is also a wax filter. who sees
the candles properly disposed. and a
frst anu second lampllghter. VINO re
ceive the same salary as that of poet
laureate, which is five hundred dollars
a year.
This may seem shabby payment. but
it must be confessed that most of the
poets laureate have been overpaid for
the stuff supplied.
Then there is the keeper of the
swans" who annually pockets one
hundred and fifty dollars for looking
after the sacred birds on tine royal
waters. Lastly, there is the queens
rat-catcher, who is especially attached
to Buckingham palace.
His salary, seventy-five dollars. is
provided outside the civil list. Every
session the house of commons, in COM
mittee of supply, considers this vote
and gravely agrees to it.-Boston

CORNELL COLLAPSED.
trinity Hall Crew Easily OutrOwcd tn
Americans

Americans
HENLEY on THAMES, July 1L-Yes.
terday as the crew of Trinity Hall,
Cambridge, padded into position, in
order to meet Cornell in the fourth
heat of the trial races for the grand
challenge cup, the Englishmen met
with a rousing reception. Trinity
Hall was first at the starting point
and took the Bucks position. Cornell
was slow in taking up her position on
the Berkshire side. The word go
was given at 1872 p. m, and Cornell
first caught the water and started
with stroke of IS to Trinity's 10.
Cornell was half a length ahead
on turning into the course after pass
ing Regatta island. Then the Cornell
runners began to encourage the Amer
lean crew and under this stimulus Cor
nell, who had dropped to 80, spurted
and increased her lead to a length.
Trinity was then splashing slightly.
Cornell made the Z mile in minutes
&c seconds, but passing Frawley Court
Cornell went to pieces and the British
ers took the lead. which they kept.
winning the race by eight lengths
When home" was reached the Cornell
crew was in a sadly demoralized con-
dition, several of the men being I'M
able to handle their oars. Over-train-
ing is given as the cause of Cornell's
collapse.
