ON TO RICHMOND.
THE STATES ATTORNEYS DEPART
ON THEIR MISSION.

Judge simonton Declines to Sit at the
Hearins-The Proceedings Start at Noon
Today--The Composition of the Court.
COLUMBIA, May 2S.-The hearing in
the matterof the appeal in the reeistra-
ton cases will take place in Richmond.
Va, to day, when the Circuit Court
of Appeals of the United States meets
at noon. The hearing is likely to be a
most interesting one, and there seems
to be considerable doubt now on the
part of those who have been most
sanguine as to whether the court will
hold that it can take jurisdiction.
Yesterday there were lively times
about the office of the Attorney Gener-
al. The counsel for the State were
getting their books and papers in readi-
ness, preparatory to leaving for
Richmond And in the afternoon they
left; they will arrive there early this
morning. Attorney General Barber
returned to the city yesterday morn
ing and found that it would be possible
for him to 60, instead of Assistant
Attorney General Townsend.
By this afternoon, very likely, it
will be known what the court will do
in the matter. 1t is now thought that
the court will demand a pretty full
presentation of the jurisdictional ques-
ton involved, in which case there will
be considerable argument.
Judge Simonton, who is member
Of the court, was in the city yesterday
and went on to Richmond last evening
He will not, however, sit at the hear
ing of this case. He takes the ground,
it is understood, that the people of the
State would be much better satisfied if
he remains entirely out of the case. It
is known here that two members of the
court who will hear the case will be
Chief Justice Fuller and Circuit Judge
Robert Hughes of Virginia, who is a
Republican. Who the third member
of the court will be is not known. It
will not be Judge Jackson of West
Virginia, or Judge Dick of North Caro-
lin, however. It will very likely be
either Judge Morris, Judge Semour or
Judge Paul.
No matter what the composition Of
the court is, the outcome of the pro-
ceedings will be awaited here with the
greatest degree of interest.-State.

Crisp's Monetary Views.

ATLANTA, May 2S.-EX-Speaker
Crisp has sent to the Constitution the
following card restating his position
on the financial question:
'Americus, Ga, May 2S.
ever since I gave consideration to
the question, I have been believer in
and an advocate of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver Ever sinse |
entered public life, I have spoken and
when opportunity offered, voted for
it. I still favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States
indepently at the ratio Of 16 to |.
How any one at all acquainted with
my public utterances and acts can have
mistaken or been in doubts as to what
my position was. is mystery to ME.
My excuse for this card is misrepresen-
tation: my hope isthat this will end it.

that there are two classes in South Car

that any body in this state ever held,

White Men Lyncned.

DANvILLE, ILL.,, May 25.-Early this
morning a mob which has been in pos
session of Vermillion county's jail for
several hours, succeeded in locating
John Hall, Jr., and William Royce
in their cells, took them outside and
hanged them, for assaulting Miss
Laura Barnatt. From midnight, when
the crowd first made its appearance at
the jail doors, until the victims were
reached, it was the determined,
the desperate struggle of fren-
zied mob to mete summary justice,
battling against heavy oaken doors
and iron bars and occasionally haltec.
by the grim stand of a little band OF
defenders of law and order under the
command of Sheriff Thompson. After
repeated efforts to break down the
outer Jail door with telephone pole,
the crowd for moment desisted in
their efforts to break into the jail. Ed
McCusker stood on the Jail steps and
addressed the mob, begging them to
desist. They laughed him down.
Sheriff Thompson, his wife and Depu-
ty Sheriff James Sloan also besought
the mob to disperse. T. Y. Barnett,
the father of the injured girl, said to
Mrs. Tompson Madame, you never
had daughter assaulted, and her
blood demands vengeance" His reply
was wildly applauded:
At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent
for Judge Bookwalter Of the Circuit
court, who addressed the crowd from
the jail corridor. He made an earnest
plea to let the law take its course. He
assured the men that Hall and Royce
would receive severe punishm ent if
found guilty, that the trial jury would
do its duty. But the leaders, who
were among the most prominent men
in the county, replied: Yes, We know
the Jury will convict them and give
them a severe sentence but Governor
Altgeld will pardon them out. He re-
Gently pardoned three brutes you sent
up from Champaign county for twen-
ty years, and he will pardon these men.
If any other man than Algeld was
Governor we would not lynch these
men. But we are determined he will
never have chance to turn them
loose" The mob again commenced
work. Sheriff Thompson finding him
self powerless to control the mob, tele-
graphed the Governor, asking that the
militia be sent to his aid At 3:15 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.

NORFOLK, VA, June 1i.-Special.-
The Truckers met the Hill Climbers again
to-day at League Park, and the story
that has 10 be told IS exactly opposite
TO that which happened the previous day.
Orth was the master Of the situation. and
so wen did he deport himself in the Oh
slau.ht on the home team, mat there
is queit runor current, only among his
best friends, that his salary will be in
creased. If ne will only do the same thing
TO the Richmonds when the two teams
meet again.
Both teams played good ball. only two
errors being charged to each club. and
as was the case IN the previous game,
Thompson earned applause by his field
ing. Raffert, the new catcher for the
Hill Climbers, played a good game, and
ne seems TO be q gOod-natured, hard
working player.
The Truckers put in their new pitcher,
Clare. and. Judging from his work. he IS
a good one. He pitched a fine game. lie
is cool and steady, and only gave one base
on balls.
The locals only made four hits, and one
OF these. a two-bagger. is credited to
Clare. and II the Truckers had given him
the support with the stick that they are
capable OF doing, the result would have
been different.
The Portsmouths played "A good. snappy
fielding game, however. and while all
Of them hit the ball. they could not place
IL safe Just when a hit was needed. The
Lynchburg team made eight hits. The
audience was a good-sized one, and
