ROASTED TO DEATH.
A Negro Fiend Confessed His Crime, But Strong Treasure Was Brought to
 Bear on Him.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct 29.-A young regro was arrested today at Longview, Gregg Cox, charged with the murder of Mrs. Leaonard Bell near Tyler, the coun- ty seat of Smith, an adjoining county. He was taken back to Tyler and there taken from the officers by a mob, removed to the scene of his fiendish crime and then slowly roasted to death. He was tied and splints of rich or fat pine or lightwood, as 1t Is known in the south, and twigs were placed to various parts of his body until after fifty minutes of torture that would have done credit to the inquisitors of old the negro died. He confesed his participation in the murder of Mrs. Bell.
 The crime for which he was so swiftly punished was the murder last evening about o'clock of Mrs. Leonard Bell, wife of "a young farmer living four miles northeast of Tyler, who had been ravish- ed and her throat and body cut half in two from the thighs to the throat. The negro was rund own by blood hounds fror, the state penitentiary

Can't Find Fitz.

Hope, Ark. Oct. 29.-When the west bound train came into Texarkana over the Texas and Pacific from San Antonio today Sheriff billiard of Texarkana and Deputy Sheriff Heard of Little Rock went through 1t, but Fitz was not on board
 A report was circulated that Fitzsm- mons had left the train few miles from town and gone overland in a hack to station east of town In order to evade arrest and so as to board the train When this train left Texarkana two officers went aboard as far as Hope thirty miles distant, where they now are. They will go west again tonight and search the northbound train which they will meet at Homelin, half way between Hope and Texarkana. There are good grounds for believing that FitZsimmons' baggage was on todays train, and the officers are hopeful that they will catch him on to- nights train. Just as the train pulled out of Texarkana this afternoon Officer Heard received telegram from Govern or Clarke, the closing words of which were: Catch Fitz or stop him regard less of cost or consequences Don't fail"

British Diplomacy Criticised.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-The official Messenger says: The thanks of Europe are not due alone to Great Britain for the solution of the Armenian question, but to the common influence of France and Russia conjointly with Great Britain. For France and Russia, the question may be centered in securing the observ- ance of the Berlin treaty. Confidence in British sincerity in this connection was wanting. Every power interested in the east resented the double dealing of Brit ish diplomacy, which almost raised the question of partition of Turkey. Such manifest distrust in the tendency of Brit ish policy and aims has never before shown itself in Europe

POLICE CASES DISMISSED.
Two Convictions Have Cost the City For
 Thousand Dollars.

Two Convictions Have Cost the City Forty
 Thousand Dollars.
 New York. Oct 29.-Justice Ingraham, In the court of Oyer and Terminer today. dismissed the indictment against former Police Captain Doherty and Ex-Police Sergeant McKenna, and also Capt. John J. Donohue now under suspension.
 The indictments against Doherty and McKenna rested on the complaint Of Mrs Augusta Thurow, the keeper of a house of i'll repute. The indictment against Donohue was based on the com plaint of Jared Flagg. Jr., who has been indicted for rentirS flats to women of immoral character. The formal motion to dismiss the indictments was made yes terday by District Attorney Fellows, who said he believed a conviction could not be had because the court had ruled that the testimony of ex7diue keepers was incompetent This probably ends the police case, which grew out of the Lexow investigations. The trials thus far have cost the city s40Oo0, and but two convictions have been had-those of In- spector Mclaughlin and Captain Ste phenson. Neither of these men have suf- fered much imprisonment and both are now free on bail pending an appeal.

They made complaint regarding the quality of their food and said they intended to report their treat to the British vice. consul.

sistanee to him in his cross-exam mination of the physicians who testified, but he brought out nothing favorable for him self.
 Both of Holmes recalled counsel are young men and are not foemen worthy Of the district attorneys steel, as they lack the experience necessary to enable them to grasp and present to the jury points favora ble to their client.
 The defense is certainly without wit nesses, and the two attorneys tonight were evidently not prepared to go on with the case. They cross-examined al random, and from the questions they asked 1t would seem they had decided the best line of defense would be to deny the identity of the body found as that oi Pietzel, although this may be entire sup position.
 Holmes tonight for the first time seemed to lose his nerve. A large picture ot little Alice Pietzel was suddenly in- troduced by the district attorney, and the sight of it evidently upset him. and when the commonwealth proposed eVl- dence showing that Holmes, in addition to his other crimes, had made this child the victim of his passions. the man was greatly discomfited and showed his re- lief in his face when the evidence bear ing upon this point was ruled out by the court. Beyond the return to the case of two attorneys tonight the proceedings and the commonwealth having accepted it's Identification of Pietzel the court ad- journed until tomorrow.
 In compliance with his request the wo- man whom he had deceived into the be- lief that she was his legal wife under the name of Mrs. Howard met Holmes this morning in the district attorneys office in the presence of her mother. The ob- ject of Holmes In seeking the interview was to obtain from the girl the return to hot hn ho deeded over to her. This she told him she would be only be too glad to do and that she never again wished to see him. Holmes asked for another interview with Mrs. Howard at noon, but she was too much prostrated by the first interview with him to see him again.

Little Attention.
 Tiffin, O., Oct 29.--The situation has quieted down and the militia will be withdrawn. The Clyde and two Canton companies left this forenoon, and the Fostoria company will leave tomorrow, at which time the home company will also return to its armory.
 The funerals of Matz and Mucheler were held today, and attracted but lit tie attention, and it Is believed the mob spirit has suecumbed to calmness and that no further trouble need be antici- pated. The special grand jury empaneled to investigate the murder of City Marshal Schultz commenced its session today and will doubtless return an indictment against Leander J. Martin, alias Miller, for murder in the first degree. It is supposed that the grand jury will also in> vestigate the rioters and will bring in a new number of indictments. If this is done the militia ought to be returned, as, such action on the part of the author ities is very liable to stir up the mob and cause repetition of last Sundays scene.
