NO G. A. r.. ENCAMPMENT.
Railroads Refuse Rates and General
Walker Makes the Decision.

A meeting of the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION was held yesterday at Chicago
for the purpose Of considering the requests
for an extension of time on the tickets to
the national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at ST. Paul and rates
below those already granted for the meet
irg of the Knights of Pythias at Mime
apolis. Both requests We're denied.
Commander Walker of the Grand Army
is under Instructions from the executive
committee to give up the idea of holding
the encampment at ST. Paul unless the de-
sired concession can be obtained.
The refusal of the roads to grant the eX-
tension was on account of the demoraliza-
ton which they claimed would result to
their business If they issued the tickets
with an extended return limit.
Commander-in-Chief l. n. Walker said,
after he had been informed that the West
ern Passenger Association would not grant
the asked for extension on the tickets:
''Well that simply let's ST. Paul out of it,
That is all there is to it. The entire mat
ter will now be reopened and another city
selected for the encampment."
When Informed that the other roads of
the Joint Traffic Association had declared
that they would not grant terms more
favorable than those already made by the
western lines, Commander Walker replied:
"Then there will be no national encamp-
ment this year. We must have thirty days
tickets or we will not have any encamp-

posed by the bill to withhold from the

its, may retire their request; % all

A LIGHTSHIP WANTED.
Congress to BE Asked to Appropriate

Congress to BE Asked to Appropriate
for One fer Use or Fire Island.
One of the results of the recent grounding
of the steamer st. Paul off Long Branch
will be an application to Congress for an
appropriation of $4,000 for the construc-
ton of a lishtship for use off Fire Island.
1t seems to be the opinion of officers OF the
lighthouse board and of tine hydrogra Dhic
Office that the accident to the steamship
would not have occurred if there had been
lightship off Fire Island.
Captain Wilde of the lighthouse board
states that ishtship is inperatively re-
quired off Fire Island, and had one been
there Saturday morning the st. Paul and
Campania could easily have picked her up,
and, Knowing their exact position, would
have rounded Sandy Hook instead of run
ming on the Jersey shore. This vessel lie
says, should be placed seven miles off shore,
provided with lenses capable of throwing
rays log distance in clear weather and
with 1.-inch steam siren, whose notes
can be heard fifteen miles. The location Of
the vessel in deep water would enable the
heaviest draught ships TO approach on
either side until she was discovered in fog
gy weather by the steam whistle and, on
finding their locality, steamer could i'm
nediateiy bear away for Sandy Hook with
the utmost confidence in the thickeSt

ton. Slowly yet surely the conviction is
growing that social order administered
through government cannot be steadily or
permanently maintained upon a basis of
force and injustice.
Confidently with this growing conviction
of the impotency of governments based up
on material conditions there is also a dawn
ing recognition of the fact that woman's
distinctive characteristics constitute the
necessary factor for the completion of the
equation and the preservation of social
equilibrium.

LYNCHED THE MURDERER,
Summary Treatment of Negro Who
Shot n Fellow PnssenSer.

Alex. Jones. a negro, boarded a passenger
train at Keystone, VIVA, Monday night. He
was drunk and very boisterous and quarrel
some. Conductor Mccullough came through
the cars, and, after demanding fare from
Jores, advised him TO be quiet. The negro
became much incensed, and when an at
tempt was made to eject him he pulled two
reviewers from a belt and began firing pro-
miscuously through the train, which was
crowded with passengers. He enptied both
revolvers and attempted to reload, but was
overpovered by trainmen.
When the smoke had cleared away and
the excitement had abated it was discov-
cred that w. H. Strother, postmaster at
Flkhorn, was shot through the abdomen.
death. Conductor Mccullough was shot in
the side, but not seriously injured, and
Peter Rice, colored miner, was shot
through the right breast and probably
fatally injured.
Jones was incarcerated In the Elkhorn
Jail to await the arrival of a train by
which TO convey him to Huntington for
safe keeping. The train arrived at . am
and the officers and prisoner boarded it
without molestation. Meanwhile a mob
had been organized at WEIGH, fifteen miles
west of Keystone, and had marched to
Hemphill, a small station, one mile west
of WEIGH The train was tagged by
danger signal, and the mob, numbering
100 men, boarded it, and at the point of
WlhcneSterS forced the o1flcerS to release
the prisoner. They dragged Jones short
distance to tree, where he was swung to
n limb and his body riddied with bullets,
the following note being attached:
This deed was done for the purpose of
example and warning to negroes. So be-
ware"
Some Of the most prominent and influen-
tial citizens of this section composed the
mob. Jones, it is alleged, had killed three
men prior to his last offenses. Excitement
is at a high pitch. An effort was made by
Jones friends to rescue him from the
angry mob, but proved to be futile
w. H. Strother was one of the best
known men in that section and had numcr-
Gus friends. He had just succeeded Paul
Fletcher, who was killed a short time ago.
