Near Greenvllle, Ala, an Angry Mob Hangs
 tho Supposed Murderers of a White
 Man.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 22.-A man who arrived at o'clock last night from Greenville, Ala. 40 miles south of here reports that five negroes were lynched near there Saturday night. Just before his train left Greenville the sheriff of the county came into town and reported that in passing Buckalow plantation, 8 miles from town, he had found the five negroes, three men and two women, hanging by their necks to some trees, their bodies cold, evidently having been dead for some hours.
 Saturday night news reached Green vile of the brutal murder, near But Ter, in that county, of Watts Murphy, popular young white man, by the negroes. Murphy was prominent young farmer, being a nephew of the late Gov. Watts, of this city. After murdering him the negroes placed his body in a brush heap and burned the heap. The debris was ex- amined and the teeth, liver and heart of the victim were found. The balance of the body had been con stunned. An investigation was insti- tuted. Three negroes were arrested. Finally yesterday one of the negroes gave way and confessed the crime, i'm plicating two other negro men and two women. The officers secured and were closely guarding the prisoners when last heard of Saturday night. The report last night does not give the details of how the mob secured the murderers, except that they were taken by force. A telegram from Greenville confirms the story.

Dr. Salmon Says the Rise In Dressed Beef
 Should Be In Proportion to Beef on
 Foot. -.. ........
 WASHINGTON, April S.-Referring to the letter addressed to him by Secre- tary Morton under date of April II, directing an investigation into the causes of the rise in the price of beef, Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, has presented to the secretary a brief statement as to the prices in the Chicago market of dressed beef and shipping steers since January l, 1895. '..... '....
 This statement shows the extremes of prices for this class of cattle to have been for January, S4.OO to S5.25; for February, Si.1O to S5.5O; For March, S4. 60 to $62O; for April first half), S4. 75 to S6. %. Commenting on these figures, Dr. Salmon says: These prices show that cattle on foot are approaching paying figures for growers and feeders. But they do not warrant any such sen sational rise in the price of dressed beef to butchers by the great slaugh- tering establishments, nor an advance such as has been reported on the part of the retail dealers in meat to con sumers. A normal rise in the whole. sale price of dressed beef and in the re. tail prices should be only in proportion to the rise indicated for beef on foot"

Entire Business Portion of the Indian Ter-
 ritory Town Fire Swept.
 ARDMoRE, I. T., April o0-Almost the entire business portion of this city was wiped out by flames yesterday morn- ing. Thursday Ardmore could boast of being the largest city in the Indian territory with more than 15O business houses, among which were many two and three-story brick buildings. To- lay they are smouldering mass of ruins, from the stately bricks to the cheap board houses. More than eighty business houses in the heart of the city on Main and South Caddo streets were wiped out by the flames. It is difficult to get correct estimate of the losses, which are variously estimated at from $500, 900 to $500, 900, but the latter fig ures are probably nearer correct.
 The large federal court building and jail were destroyed. Eighty prisoners confined in the latter were removed to the Baptist church beyond the danger line and placed under heavy guard.
 Twenty-six livery horses were roast ed alive in Harper & Cecil's stables, and man named Neu. a stranger, who was permitted to sleep in the barn, was so badly burned that he cannot recover.

 That the April report on winter grain be.dis- continued but that all other features now em- bodied in that report be continued.
 That in all repo ts concerning acreage of various crops reports to the, department give the area by states in acreage as well as by the percentage of the previous years area.
 That the department, instead of having Q principal correspondent and three assistants in each county, as at present, make an effort to secure the regular service of one or more re- porters in each township, all to make their re- ports directly to the department at Washing ton
 That in the selections of these correspond ents they should not be taken from the farming class exclusively, but should include, as far as possible, representatives of all classes of rural industry.
 That the department discontinue the employ ment of salaried state agents in the regular crop-repOrting work.
 That returns of reserves of wheat cora and oats and cotton be had for dates represen tIng the close of the crop year wheat on July 1, oats on August l. corn on November 1. and cot- ton on September I. .r.. ......

The Meat Combine Stronger Than the Gov
 ernment-Conclusions of the Cabinet.
 WASHINGTON, April 22.-The interest Secretary Morton has shown in the ad- vance of meat prices is spreading to the other members of the cabinet. The president and Mir. Morton have had several conferences on the subject. Saturdays cabinet meeting was de- voted almost wholly to it. Attor. ney-General olney expressed serious doubts whether any case made out under the antitrust law would stand the tests of the courts In this opinion he was joined by Secretary Carlisle. Both these officials stated that the law was so loosely drawn as to be practically valueless for the pur- poses intended. Postmas.er-Gener Wilson, who was a member of the ju- dietary committee at the time the bill was under discussion in the house, stated that Judge Culberson then pro- nounced it worthless, but that owing to the fact that the session was about to close, amendment was impossible.
 Secretary Morton's investigations ohio" bhS SolAi WulCh the dressed beef trade of the country practically fixes the price of cattle on the hoof, as we'll as the price of dressed meat sold to consumers through their own agencies in large cities. They also control to very great extent the means of transportation through their ownership of refrigerator cars, in which carcasses are carried from the slaughtering houses to the markets. From the sta- tistics gathered by the secretary of agriculture there is reason to be- lieve that gross discrimination is prac- ticed by transportation companies against small dealers and in favor of localities and the large shippers. The question was discussed at the cabinet meeting whether proceedings to break the combination should not properly begin through the medium of the in terstate commerce commission, in the nature of a suit for infractions of the interstate commerce law.

A SOCIAL AFFAIR.
A Wealthy Man Invites Two Hundred
 Artisans to Dinner.


 NEW YORK. April ls.--James Stokes, brother of w. E. D. and Anson Phelp. Stokes, entertained at dinner last night nearly 200 artisans who had been em. ployed in the construction of his house at the northwest corner of Park avenue and Twenty-eighth street. Bishop Potter sat at the hosts right and Fulton Cutting at the left.
 The affair occurred in the Industrial building, Lexington avenue and Forty. third street. Gathered around the board were the mixers of mortar and the carriers of the same, the bricklay- CTS, the plumbers, the plasterers, the masons, the electricians, the painters of the woodwork and the decorators, who met on terms of equality with the contractor, the society and the church dignitary. The whole tone of the din. ner can be gathered from the fact that the wealthy host addressed his guests as fellow workmen,
 Stokes is student of sociology and came to the conclusion that the solu. ton of the question of capital and labor lay in both extending the hearty hand of fellowship to one another.

Tho Volume of Business shows Noteworthy
 Increases in Many Lines.
 NEW YORK, April 20.-Bradstreets to-day says: The volume of general trade has maintained the previous. weeks proportions, and at some points shows noteworthy increases, as com pared with the total year ago. The reaction in petroleum prices appears to have been overcome and the tendency is again upward, based on a drop in stocks from about II ,000, 900 barrels of Pennsylvania oil in January, 1s94,T to less than 5000, 900 barrels of merchant able oil So marked and rapid has been the appreciation in price of petro- leum that speculation in it has been excited.
 Further advances in quotations are noted also for wheat, on improved de- mand for export; cotton, on wide consumption. present and prospective; print cloths md other cotton goods, because of higher raw cotton; Besse- mer pig iron, on the increase of cost of ore, coke and labor, and shoes and leather, on the further stiffening of VdlueS Ol HluGS. luC uP"diu tuih ot prices for dressed beef and live cattle has been maintained. Coffee is lower, as are lard and oats, but Indian corn and pork remain steady at last closing quotations. Wool is barely steady, as consumers are waiting the new crop before buying.
 Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States this week, four in. cluded as wheat, show third weekly gain in succession. with the total amounting to 3,l65, 900 bushels, against 2,934, GOO bushels last week, 3.019,oo bushels in third week of April, 1894; 1863, ,0O0 bushels in the like week of 1893; 3, 1O7, 900 bushels in 1892, and as contrassed with 2,222, 900 bushels in the corresponding week eoS7s@yeafS ago.

 WASHINGTON, April 1S-The French government has sought in vain to pre- vent the exclusion from the American mails of large number of their news papers tsat publish advertisements of a government lottery scheme. This is plan for the placing of bonds un- der system of premiums awarded by drawings. For the reason it is a governmental institution and is not an ordinary lottery, the French government felt the re- striction should not apply, but upon investigation the state department found that the case is precisely similar to the one decided by the supreme court of the United States concerning the bonds issued by the Austrian gov ernment, and was obliged to reply that the executive had no power to suspend the law and that the papers must be excluded as long as they pub lished the advertisement
