WILL BE LYNCHED IF CAUGHT.
Two Tramps Who Assaulted a Woman
in West Virginia.

PARKERSBURG CIV. Va), Dec 4
The citizens of Rockport, eighteen miles
from this city, are hunting the woods
and neighborhood for two tramps, who
will be lynched if caught.
Last evening. during the absence of
Samuel Stephens, who lives near Rock
port with his wife and two-year-old
child, two tramps broke into the house
and assaulted Mrs. Stephens. The
woman fought with desperation, but
was overpowered by her assailants The
tramps threatened to murder her if she
made an outcry, and when the child
screamed they beat and kicked it so ter
ribly that it may not recover
After the tramps left the woman gave
the alarm. The neighbors were aroused
and pursuit was begun, but the tramps
had succeeded in getting into the woods
All the roads are guarded and descrip-
lions have been sent out, and it is
thought they cannot evade capture. In
the present temper of the people the
tramps, if caught, will surely be
lynched.

A CALIFORNIA CASE
Now Before the Supreme Court OF the
limited States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. b.
Browne made a motion in the supreme
Court of the United States to-day Ior
leave to file a petition on beha1 OF
John Chitwood, Jr., for the issue OF
writ of certiorari or prerogatlve writ
directed to Judge Morrow of the DIS
trict Court for the Northern District
of California.
The petition is a voluminous one, ana
presents not only an unusual but IN
tricately complicated case arising out
of the litigation connected with the IN
solvency of the California National
Bank of San Francisco. This Htlgatloh
was prosecuted in the State courts by
Chitwood. a stockholder in the bank,
against three officers of the bank who
held a ma jority of the stock and their
agent selected to disburse the surplus
assets remaining after the receiver Oh
the bank had wound up its affairs.
He obtained judgment for S16t,0OO
against the three officers and share
holders, but the judgment was reversed
nv the State Supreme Court. Chitwood
sued out writ of error to the supreme
Court of the United States, which JUS
tice Field allowed. and it was made re-
t1lrnable in the Supreme Court of the
United States on November I'd last.
In the meantime the agents of the
three officials went into Judge Nor
rows court and got an order directing
Chitwood and his counsel to dismiss
tho writ of error to the Supreme Court
of the United States by December 9th,
and to cease prosecuting it further on
pain of being sent to Jail for contempt
of court. Hence his petition for some
Kind of writ which will have the effect
of restraining Judge Morrow from car
rying his order into execution.

FRED BEHME EXECUTED.
He Murdered His Wife and Child on
Last Easter SUNDAY.

MCLEANSBORO 0ll), Dec. Aired
Behme, who murdered his wife and
child on Easter Sunday, was executed
here to-day. The trap was sprung at
1890 and his neck was broken. He
made no statement on the scaffold.
On last Easter Sunday morning
Behme and his wife quarreled over re-
ligion. After horribly beating her with
an ak. Behme threw an old piece of car
pet over his wife's body, and on that
piled lot of corn fodder He then took
his little son, aged about 3 years, and
with a rope hanged him to a nail in an
old stable.
Behme was captured the next day
about twenty miles from his home. He
made no denial of his guilt, and when
asked why he did it pointed to his head.
and said something there told him to do
it.
BY many persons Behme was regarded
as monomaniac on the subject of re-
ligion.

RAILWAY POOLING.
No Prospect of the Passage OF a Bill
by Congress LegaIiZinp 1t.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Railroad officials
who have been sounding the sentiment
of United States Senators on the uues-
ton Of a bill to legaliZe pooling under
restrictions such as defined in the Pat
terson bill admit that there is no pros
pect of any measure of that kind pass
ing at the coming short session of Con-
gress.
The railroad companies are sorely dis
appointed. as they had been counting
on getting favorable consideration at
this session. Now they will have to
wait at least another year.
The opposition Of the Senators is
found in the fact that more important
matter Will engross the time of Con-
gress, and numerous Senators repre-
senting States whose people oppose the
pooling Idea are playing for reelection.
There are others who would vote
against any kind of a pooling bill on
principle

1t is asserted in some quarters that
the Laurada was sent out of American
waters some time ago to avoid the pos
sibility of being libeled by the United
States Government for her connection
with the f1libustering expeditions. 1t is

PHILADELPHIA, Dec At is said
that Secretary of State Olney has
cabled to Madrid the facts in regard to
the steamship Laurada, but the vessel,
it is reported here, will be seized on civil
process by the Spanish Government
when she reaches Valencia, and suit
will be brought for forfeiture against
her, because of having landed a military
expedition, dynamite and war material
within three miles of the coast of Cuba
in the jurisdiction of Spain.

More Damage Done Than During the
Flood Three Weeks Ago.
Water Five Feet Deep on the rleadows
In the Puyallup ValIey-The Village
of Auburn Under Water, the Cur
rent Rushing Between Buildings
and Carrying Off Light Structures.

TACOMA (Wash), Dec. 4.-Chinook
winds for the last few days have melt
ed the snow ON the mountains, and the
heavy rains which have fallen resulted
to-day in all rivers in this vicinity
rising higher than during the floods
three weeks ago. There has been more
damage done in this locality to-day
than during the entire period OF the
other flood Early this afternoon the
Northern Pacific bridge over White
River was swept away by the current
hurting huge piles of driftwood against
1t. Although a new bridge is on hand
and the piers are already laid, it Will
be impossible to have railroad COM
munication with Seattle until the lat
ter part of next week.
The village of Auburn, twelve miles
north of Puyallup, was flooded, the
water standing a foot deep on the main
street. The current has formed many
channels, and besides filling all the
cellars is rushing between the buildings,
carrying off shanties and light struct-
ureS
Stuck River has also left its bed, and
is submerging all low lands and mead
ows in the valley to a depth of five
Feet or more. The current of the
Puyallup River Is so strong that it has
washed away the entire south approach
to the Meriden- street bridge at Puyal-
lup, and is eating nut a new channel
through the hop fields. All the after
noon farmers have been rushing to
town for aid. From all over the valley
come reports of inestimable damage to
crops and livestock.
Here at Tacoma the Indian reSerVa-
ton gardens and orchards are covered
by water to depth of fully two feet.
Passengers on the overland train, which
arrived three and half hours late this
evening, say that Green River on this
side of the Cascades has never been so
high and turbulent as now. A man who
has just arrived on the Northern Pacific
from Kent says the White River is now
two feet higher than the highest point
reached during the last flood, and is still
rising The streets of Kent, he says,
are flooded, and the river is pounding
down the valley, sweeping everything
before it.
The ranches on this side of Seattle,
bounded by the White. Black and Cedar
Rivers, are again flooded, but it is i'm
possible to get any details from there.
Through trains are still running nearly
on time, and no damage has yet &C.
CURED to telegraph lines.

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Members of a Hundred Milwaukee
Families Ill.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 4.-The health
officers report q wholesale poisoning of
families in the northern part of the
city. According to reports which reach
the Health Department, members OF
about 100 families are i'll with all the
symptoms of arsenical poisoning. The
people who are sick had eaten bread
purchased at a bakery this morning
on Sherman street, and the physicians
and officers of the Health Departments
are inclined to attribute the wholesale
poisoning to that cause.

night stated that this vessel, which will

last summer, is now loading with fruit
at Messina, Italy. and that her char
