Mexican Judges Authority for
the Burning of Ten Heretlcs.
AN OPEN AIR MAD HOUSE
Whole Population OF Texaeapa Absorbed
by the Superstitious Frenzy
OF the Hour.

New York, Nov. 3.-The World con-
tains additional details OF the burning
of 10 heretics by the judge of the Mexi-
can town Of TeXacapa, which is pub
lished today in special dispatch from
Pachauca. The dispatch says:
AS soon as the news reached Mol
LANCE the principal town in the dis
trict, the municipaI president and mi
nor officials, with an escort OF over 90
men, armed with rifles went to Tex
acapa, where they found everybody in
the public square executing grotesque
dances in honor Of the Virgin of Quad
aloupe, around the ruins of the jail, a
small building close to the parish
church.
In this Jail previous to Saturday had
been confined Nicolas Hernandez, Mar
tin Santiago Jose Manuel, Casper Her
nandes, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas, ID.
Maria Juana Maria Magdalena, Maria
Conception and an infant child. They
had been rudely hustled from their
homes at the dead of night on an ex-
traordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town judge that their lives
Were an evil in the sight of God and
that they were enemies Of the faith and
heretics whom God had ordered,
through his holy saint, to be consumed
by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
the utmost sangfroid to the authorities.
He added that God wrought astonish-
ing miracles to confirm what the saint
had told him in a vision.
Said the judge: II obeyed the divine
command and ordered out my consta-
bles, and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night. weeping and wall
ing, to the jail When they were locked
securely in 1 ordered constables to set
the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities.

to call issued by the general commit
tee of the Goethe-Schiller Monument
Association, to all German associa-
lions, citizens and young people of Ger
man extraction, and to all interested in
German literature, resident on the Pa
cific coast, asking them to cooperate
in the movement contemplating the
erection of a $4,000 monument to the
memory of Germany's two greatest
poets, over 10000 people assembled to-
day to participate in the opening cere-
monies Of a grand musical festival at
the Mechanics pavilion, which is TO

in previous years have realized between
100000 and 100000, and it is anticipated

is SERIOUS FOR THE WHALeRs
Looks as if the Entire Fleet Would BE
Caught III the Ice.

Looks as If the Entire Fleet Would BE
Caught III the Ice.
San Francisco, Nov. 3.-The schooner
Rosario has arrived from the Arctic
ocean, bringing 5000 pounds of bone, the
residue of catch of I'VE whales. She
is the first of the whaling fleet to reach
port from the north, and it is within the
limits of possibility that she may be the
last. When she left the ocean ice was
forming very fast, and it was heavier
than it has been for many years.
The Rosario brings confirmation OF
the news Of a very poor catch in the
Arctic seas. From the report of the
Rosario it looks as il the entire fleet
would be caught in the ice. This is
considered by whaling men to be a very
serious state of affairs.
The steam whalers are amply proVid-
ed with stores with which to spend an
other winter in the ice, but sailing veg
sells are under much less favorable con-
ditions
The majority of the banks are pro-
visioned with only enough stores to
last them through the summer, and IL
they are compelled to spend the winter
in the north starvation stares the whal-
ers in the face.

George Morgan, Who Assaulted
and Murdered a Child
The BRUTE WELL PROTECTED
Officers Removed Him to the State peni.
Tertiary Thousands at
the Morgue.

Omaha, Nov. Ada Gaskins multi
ated body was found in a small out
building in the rear of No. 1SO71l Dear
born street at o'clock this morning.
She had been. outraged and murdered
Within an hour George Morgan, Ed
Sanford and Henry Booker three young
men, were in custody charged with the
crime.
The murder and rape of little Ida
Gaskins, an 11-year-old child, was posi-
lively traced to George Morgan, a
teamster. He lives near where the body
was found and was the last man seen
with her. His clothes were covered
with blood when arrested. So great was
the feeling against the prisoner that he
was hurriedly removed to the peniten-
tiary. Afterwards a committee appoint
ed by those favoring lynching went
through the jail to satisfy the people
that the murderer was not there. To-
night a crowd of several hundred peo-
pie surrounded the Jail. They were
orderly and drawn more by curiosity
than any disposition to do violence.
Early in the morning a crowd was
about the doors OF the morgue. The
body was taken to the ground floor and
then admission was granted to all.
From that early hour until a little after
noon, the morgue was thronged. A
steady line OF people poured in, each
person stopping to gaze a moment with
yelling eyes upon that innocent face.
1t was estimated that before noon 5000
people had looked upon the dead body

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The stock exchange
has put itself on record against estab-
fishing a mining stock department.
Messrs. Gage and Thompson favored
listing mining stocks under certain re-
strictions. Mr.. Adsit, the minority
member of the committee, reported
against the proposition. Adsit's report

There is no doubt that Chicago is going

The action up to the present time has
been general, and with all conservative
safeguards possible. The exchange may
recede from its position and list some
stocks upon individual application.

Varna, Bulgaria, Nov. 4.-According
to advices received here from Constan-

the report of the discovery of a plot
against the palace Monday evening is
correct. Three N1usselmen are said to
have been arrested at STEAMBOAT in con-
nection with it. In addition. several
houses have been searched and guam

Considerable alarm is reported to ex-
list at Tildiz Kiosk in consequence of the
fact that the Albanian guards refuse
to do duty there any longer. 1t is sup
posed the guards were suborned by
Musselmen and there seems little doubt
that eight soldiers were executed and
"a others sent to different prisons.

Advice From Peoples Party Organ


The liquor power, the money power
and the monopoly spirit of the age are
so intimately associated that they are
absolutely inseparable in politics, and
the sooner this fact is recognized in
practice by the Peoples party, the
sooner it separates itself from all con-
nection with any branch of this hydra
headed monster, the sooner will it lay
the foundation of permanent strength
in the confidence and support of the
better element of the American people
The above is what the Topeka Advo-
cate. the leading Peoples party paper
of Kansas, said in its issue of July 31st.
1t is what THE LEADER and its editor
have been telling the Peoples party
men of Mississippi for years. And yet,
right in the face of common-sense
truth like this, the Peoples party of
Lincoln county has deliberately chos-
en- to court the support of the friends
of liquor rather than the better ele-
ment of our people. No party can be
a reform party that will do such a
thing as that, and no sincere and in
telligent reformer can afford to sup
port such party.

BELHAVEN COLLEGE.

1t Has Risen Triumphant from Its Ashes
More Beautiful Than Ever.
Belhaven College is ready to enter
upon another successful year. The
phenomenal success which attended
the opening of the first session, the
crushing calamity which came in the
very zenith of it's prosperity, the con-
tinuation of regular work with the
loss of but two days, the immediate re-
building of the college by President
Fitzhugh, encouraged by the interest
and enthusiasm manifested by the peo-
pie of Jackson and the entire State
have combined to make this institu-
ton famous throughout the South.
The new buildings have been COM
pleted and beautiful structures they
are-far SURPRISING the former ones
that graced that lovely site. The build
ings are all white and beautifully de-
signed. AS you approach the College
grounds, the buildings, so pure and
white and half hidden among the state
ly forest trees and dense green foliage
of the lawn, resemble white marble
dwellings.
They are admirably arranged in ev-
cry respect. The pupils will be sub
jected to no exposure during bad
weather, as all the departments of the
college are under the same roof. Yes
ia Hall is finished in the most mod
ern style. Everything has been ar
ranged for the comfort and health of
the pupils. Bath rooms on both floors
supplied with hot and cold water.
Electric lights, electric bells and steam
heaters are some of the modern conye-
niences of this building. The insti-
tute is also supplied with electric
lights, electric bells, and steam heat
ers and has been equipped with mod
ern appliances and apparatus. The
Chapel with its elevated floor and op-
era chairs makes a most attractive
study and concert hall.
As an institution for the higher edu-
cation of girls and young women, Bel
haven is unsurpassed in the South.
Every department is In charge of skill.
ed teachers. Facilities in music, art
and elocution unequaled in the
South.
No college can boast of better
health record. During the entire ses-
sion of '94 and '95 there was not a sim
gle case of serious illness among the
pupils. Send your daughter to Bella
ven College, where she is certain to
receive the very finest advantages and
where she can also enjoy all the ad-
vantages of refined family environ
pent.
Write to President Fitzhugh, Jack
son, Miss, for catalogue.
