Tried to Lynch a MOtormau Who Ran
Down n Boy.
Chicago, Dec. % George E. Den.
mark, Z years old, was killed by a
trolley-car at Troop and Elghtt enth
streets, this afternoon. Fred Bernier,
motorman, was threatened with lynch
ing, for killing the boy, and was with
great difficulty rescued from the
mob of Bohemians. who. incensed at
the terrible accident, surrounded the
car and dragged Bernier from the plat.
form, determined to hang him. Patrick
aanley, the conductor, managed to
save Bernier from the mob, and then a
riot call was sent to the Maxwell street
station. The police took charge of the
motorman and conductor and locked
them up.
After the boy had been killed, Motor
man Bernier took refuge in the Car,
which stood within a few feet of where
the accident occurred, and in an in
slant it was beseiged by angry men.
He attempted to keep them out by
latching the doors on the inside, but
they broke the doors in, knocked him
down and kicked and beat him for a
few moments in a shocking manner.
He managed, however, to get away
from them, and ran to the door of the
drugstore, where he was handed a pis-
tol, and was admitted inside by Mr..
Kvitek, the proprietor, before any
further harm befell him. The crowd
surged around the store and yelled:
Break it inl Kill himv'
1t looked for a minute as if the store
would be raided, but Mr.. Kvitek had
made use of the telephone. He called
on the Maxwell station first for an am
bulance, but by that time matters had
got so warm that he requested a patrol
wagon. In a few minutes the wagon
brought a number Of officers, who did
all they could to quiet the mob. When
some degree of quiet had been restored
the police arrested the endangered men
and took them to the station. There
the men seemed unconcerned, and de-
clined to make a statement.
There were many versions given of
the accident. Well.informed people
living in the n~eighborhood said they
had been expecting something of the
kline for a long time, and were only
surprised that it did not happen 0

A HALF MINUTE FIGHT.


~ U.s.
O'DOnnell In Short Order.
New York, Dec. est took just 81
seconds time for Peter Maher, the
Irish pugilist, to again demonstrate
his superiority in ring tactics and hard
hitting qualities over Steve O'Donnell,
the Australian boxer, in the arena of
the Greater New York Athletic Club
at Coney island today. Both men were
in excellent condition and trained to
the hour. Each of them was confident,
but Maher's hackers made him a hot
~favorite, the odds ranging from 8 to 5
to l on the Irishman's chances of win
ming.
O'Donnell was the first to enter the
ring. He climbed through the ropes
at $3.50 o'clock, clad in a ,gray-colored
bath robe. His seconds were Sam Fitz-
patrick. Billy Madden, Mike Butler.
and Gus Rubin, the Canton, o., giant.
When Maher emerged from his dress
ing room five minutes later a cheer
went up which shook the building.
AS soon as he got into the ring Maher
bowed his acknowledgment for the
warm welcome extended to him, and he
never looked better in his life. He
was escorted by Peter Lowry, of Dub
lin; Peter Burns, of Harlem, his SPAR
ring partner, and Jack Quinn, OF
Brooklyn. Msher weighed 177%
pounds, and O'Donnell 191 pounds
The men shook hands at 3:46, and
Referee Aleck Brown lost no time in
bringing them together.
There was intense silence when the
men put their fists up and Maher
rushed across the ring almost to O'Don.
nell's r Both spared for a . W
seconds, and O'Donnell led with his
left for the body. Maher blocked his
blow with his right glove. Peter then
1abhed his left hard on the chin an D.;
landed a heavy left swing on the face.
This staggered O'Donnell. and he
seemed to be unable to avoid Mahel'
PUSHES. Maher sent O'Donnell to the
hoor with a hard left on the chin, and
the Australian stayed down 4 seconds.
AS soon as he got to his feet O'Don-
nell assumed a defensive attitude, but
Maher quickly sent his left once more
ON tle chin, and as O'Donnell was fall
ing caught him quickly with a half
nook, Knocking the Australian down.
Steve rolled over on his back in a help
less condition, and the referee slowly
counted him out. The big Irishman
stood about twelve feet away from
his fallen opponent while the referee
was counting off the seconds, and as
soon as the referee tailed ten a tre-
mendous shout went up from 1900 peo-
pie who had watched the brief encoun-
ter and the band played 1.-The Wear.

for a long term of years for murder,
came into Spokane last night, and to-
day went to Mica, where his parents

subsequently identified as that of
James johnson, brother-in-law of Ben.
ton Wilson. The body was found two
miles from the Wilson homestead.
Benton Wilson and his father were ar

father was first placed on trial, and
the case looked black for him. Per-
ceiving this. Benton arose and con-
1essed to having murdered his brother
in'law. He said Johnson had abused

TO the farm and had threatened his

and dubbed him to death. For this
he was sentenced to a long term of
years IN the penitentiary. 1t is a case
OF a son sacrificing his life to save that
of his father.

Funds Running Low.

New York, Dec. 70. - a Madrid
special to the World says:
1t is rumored that General Weyler
has delayed fresh operations against
the insurgents in order to give time to
discover the disposition of bands and
their chiefs since the death of Maceo,
with a view to feeling his way to pre-
pare the ground for finishing the pres
emit Cuban wal like the past insurrec.
tions in Spain and Cuba, where official
negotiations proved more telling argu-
ments than force of arms, directly the
Insurgents saw no more hope of for.
eign aid.
1t is also believed in diplomatic cir.
Giles that Spain will take advantage of
the disposition of President Cleveland
and Secretary Oluey to negotiate
quickly and directly with the United
States to secure a neutrality by grant
Ing discriminating concessions in the
contemplated Cuban tariff, and fair
promises of colonial autonomy before
the accession of Mckinley.
One of the principal reasons of the
Spanish government for insisting upon
Weyler making a decisive attempt to
clear the provinces of Pinar del Rio,
Havana and Matanzas, within a few
weeks, is the urgent necessity for scor.
ing a military success before Spain has
once more to appeal to the native and
foreign markets for fresh loans, when
she shall have exhausted the money
obtained by the recent interior loan.
which will be in March of next year.
AT present the minister of the col
onies disposes of this cash, and Cuban
bonds to the value of about So, 900, 900
only remain out of the proceeds of the
loans. The expenses of the war in
Cuba are $12, 900, 900 monthly, and in
the Philippines at least 81, 600, 900.
UP to the present time, the Spanish
treasury has assisted the Cuban treas
ury by guaranteeing advances made by
foreign and native bankers upon Cuban
bonds, and by pledging the sources of
imperial revenue for the recent $50.
900, 900 loan.
