morning when Petit, counsel for Ives,
filed motion in the Federal Court ask
ing that the Northern Pacific be allowed to
amend its answer to the original petition

ELLENsBURG (Wash.). Aug. 1.-THE
Vincents, father and son, were taken
from jail early this morning by mob
and hanged. The people here, while
deprecaiing mob law, felt that the lynch
ing was justitiable. as both men were
hard cases and both were guilty Of muir
der.
On Sunday, while drunk, Charles Vim
cent shot Nike Kohlopp, the proprietor
of saloon, intlicting a wound which
quickly proved fatal. John Burglln,
who was in the saloon at the time tried
to save Kohlopp's life, but was stabbed
and mortally wounded by Sam Vincent.
father of Charles. Burgliu fingered until
last night, when he died.
The killing caused very intense feeling
in the community. The Vincents were
looked on as bad men, and there was
determination to get rid of them. Charles
Vincent had a bad criminal record. lie
had served a term i'll the Oregon penlten-
tiary for burglary. and was looked on as
q second-class crook. He acted as stool
pigeon for the detectives in proposed
robbery OF the Northern Pacific Railroad,
and exposed the plans OF the robbers.
Whom the killing occurred there was
strong talk among the citizens IN favor
of lynching. The CommOnWeal move
ment of year ago brought many hard
characters into this country, and laWlesS
deeds have been so frequent that it was
felt that a warning was needed. The
Nincents were to have had a hearing to-
day, but lhe people of Ellensburg decided
to save the expense of a trial. a crowd
gathered in the streets last night and
proceeded TO put their plans into execu-
ton. At least nine-tenths OF the people
favored immediate action, and some OF
the most prominent citizens were in the
crowd. y few were masked, but the ma
iority made no attempt at disguise.
1t was l o'clock this morning that the
word was given TO move on the jail.
Sheriff Stinson made brave ohort TO de-
fend his prisoners. but without avail.
His force was 100 small to have any
effect against the big crowd that de-
manded admittance, and the jail was
such a weak structure that it was impos-
sible to keep the crowd out
AS soon as they entered the lynchers
made rush for the cell in which Charles
Vincent was confined. 1t was one of the
steel cages. and for a while it detled the
efforts of the crowd. but it was finally
opened and the prisoner dragged out.
| He made little resistance, seeming to be
overcome with fear. He was dragged out
| of the Jail and to small silver poplar
near by. y rope was thrown over a
branch, tied around his neck and in an
other moment he was dangling in the air.
The crowd began firing at the body with
revolvers, and soon filled it with lead.
The crowd had at first intended to
lynch young Vincent only, but just at
this time news was spread that Burglin,
the man stabbed by the elder Vincent,
was dead Then it was decided to max Q
thorough job of it. The crowd marched
back to the Jail. Again Sheriff Stinson
made brave but unsuccessful fight to
save his prisoner. Vincent, apparently
halt dead with fear, made no resistance.
He was dragged out and soon was hang
ing beside his son.
The excitement in town to-day is in
tense, but so far the authorities have
taken no action.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA csblegram
received at the State Department to-day
from j. Courtney HixOn, United States
Consul ut Foo Chow, reports the depart
ure from that place of the mixed British
and American Commission TO investigate
the ku Cheng massacre, Mr.. HiXon is
mem Der of the commission, and Is ac-
companied by Ensign Waldo Evans OF
the Detroit as the other American repre-
sentative. The recognition OF the joint
commission as an official body whose
conclusions shall be binding has not been
accorded by the United States. This re-
cognition can only be given be the Secre-
tary Of State.
1t is said at the State Department that
Minister DENLY has the matter in charge,
and has made all arrangement respecting
the commission without explicit direc-
tons from Acting Secretary Adee as to
how far the Commissioners shall act con-
junctly The Stale department has no
knowledge and will leave it TO the dis
cretion OF the American representatives
whether they will join with the British
officials in making the same report TO
both Governments.
As the conclusions reached and the
recommendation by the commission Will
not be binding on this Government, it is
not matter OF concern whether the Com
missioners agree or not. Whatever they
report. whether jointly or separately, will
not interfere with negotiations between
Great Britain and the United States as 10
what course shall be pursued if the ma
tions think it desirable to make Joint
protest or demand. rs matters stand at
present, the Washington Government is
free to do as it pleases; to proceed sepa-
rately in relation to its overtures to the
Chinese Government, or to act III concert
with Great Britain in the premises.
Consul Reed, at Tieu Tsin, cabled the
State Department to-day that there was
cholera at Tien Tsin and Chee Foo. This
Information may have a bearing on the
Chinese trouble. because the United States
flag ship Baltimore has gone to Chee Foo
in order that Admiral Carpenter may be
in close Geographic communication with
Minister Denby. The Navy Department
is exceedingly careful about allowing
any naval vessel to remain at an un-
healthy port, and tbs Baltimore and the
gunboat Machias. which is also at Chez
Foo, may be compelled to go elsewhere.

A FAMOUS ARTIST KILLED.
THOS. HOVENDEN MEETS DEATH
NEAR NOHRISTOWN, Pa.
Lost His Life While Attempting to
Rescue a Child From Being
Crushed by Train.

NoRRISTowN Fa.), Aug. 14.-Thomas
Hovenden. the famous artist was in
stantly killed by railway train near
here this evening, and it was in attempt
ing to save the life Of little girl that he
lost his own. The sacrifice of Mr.. Ho-
venden's life was useless, because the
child that he attempted to save also met
her death beneath the wheels of the same
engine.
The accident occurred at grade cross
ing on what is known as the Trenton cut
off of the pennsylvania road. The Chest
nut Hill Trolley Company's tracks run
up to the tracks of the railway company
at the point whore the accident occurred,
but does not cross them. Passengers Of
the trolley company are compelled to
leave the car at the railroad tracks and
cross the latter on foot to take car on
the OppOs. slOe.
Mr.. Hovenden has a summer residence
in Plymouth Township, this county, and
he was returning home this evening on
trolley Car. When the car reached its
stopping point on the far side of the rail-
road track the passengers allghted as
usual, and prepared TO cross to the car on
the other side. Beside Mr.. Hovenden,
among the passengers on the car were
Mrs. Clara Peitter and her 10-year-old
daughter Bessie.
\ fast freight train was approaching
the crossing as the passengers from the
trolley car alighted. The little girl did
not notice the train, and she ran ahead OF
her mother to cross the tracks. The train
bore rapidly down, and the engineer
blew his whistle freely when he saw the
little figure standing between the rails.
/ The child seemed to become confused,
and awaited her coming death without at
| tenn pting TO avoid 1t.
! Mr. Hovenden rushed forward and
snatched the child up in his arms. Before
| he could make the leap that would have
saved them both. the engine struck him
! and hurled him across the track with ter
rible force. The engineer stopped his
/ train and he and the fireman ran to where
| Mr.. Hovenden and the little girl were
| lying. The man was dead and the child
died as soon as she was raised from the
! ground.
Thomas Hovenden was one Of the lead
| ing artists of America. He was still in
| the comparative prime of his intellectual
| vigor and artistic skill, being but 50 years
of age. His best known painting,
"Breaking Home Ties" has been en-
graved probably more than the work of
/ any American artist, and is a familiar OBJ
| ject on the walls of thousands of homes
in the United States. The painting was
one Of the most notable of American
groups at the Worlds Fair.

children.

The silver question is being discussed

that silver would always have place In
financial economy, and that fourteen
twentieths OF the human race belonged TO
the debtor class, who would insist that
silver should have good place. told
them that the gold people on our SIDE
were learning wisdom, and favored
good place for silver, but thay did not
want it to the extent that silver should
be legal tender.
ITO the silver mon l say; i am bet
ter silver man than you L believe that
silver should be legal tender to the
amount Of SO. They said over there
that they were willing to make silver

to-day than there is in this country. The
same is true of England. Here man

by gradual approaches we may some
