THREE STRUNG UP
A TRIPLE LYNCHiNO OF ITAL-
IAN MURDERERS.
Excitement Over tho Foul Assassination
of u Prominent Man Grew La Inten-
sity Until Mob Settled 1t All,

Hahnville, La, Aug. 9.-There was a
triple lynching here just before ~
o'clock last night and the bodies OF
three Italian murderers were found
swinging from the rafters Of a shed
near the court house this morning. One
of the men Is Lorenzo Salideno. who
foully assassinated Jules Gueymard. at
Freeton, last Tuesday night. and the
other two were Decino Soccoro and An
gelo Marcuso, who murdered an old
Spaniard on the Ashton plantation
near Blounte some time ago Ever
since the murder Of Gueymard this
parish has been in a fever of excite
ment over the affair. and even on the
first night after the murder II was with
great difficulty that the sheriff pre-
vented the lynching of Saladino. He
spirited him away In the woods and
kept him there over night and then
the next day took him to the new jail
In Hahnville In the meantime the evi-
dence grew against Sallddano and feel
ing correspondlngly grew in intensity.
About half past II o'clock last night
the mob which had concentrated on the
outskirts of the town began to move
on the Jail. They captured the old ne
gro guard. and by the vigorous use Of
axes, with which they were well sup
piled. soon demolished the jail and cell
doors, and took the prisoners out and
executed them.

THEY co TO CHURCH.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan spend Most of the
bay In Quiet Rspose.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Thousands OF en-
thusiastic free silver democrats called
at the Clifton house to see w. j. Bry-
an and his wife to-day. They came
with their wives and babies and chill
dren. But II was late In the afternoon
before their desires were satisfied. In
the first place, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
slept until the middle OF the forenoon.
They were weary and worn from the
fatigue and hot weather of yesterday,
Then they wanted to be prepared for
the excitement OF Tomorrow. When
they had breakfasted they took a car
rlage and alone went 10 church. They
drove to the Presbyterian church at
Englewood and listened To an orthodox
sermon preached by Rev. DR.. John
Clark HILL The divine did not know
the democratic nominee and his wife
were coming. and two-thirds OF the
congregation went home after the serv-
ices in utter ignorance of the fact that
their house of worship had been hon
ored by their presence. No reference
was made to the political issues OF the
day by the preacher In his sermon, nor
did he In his prayers mention the can
didate or his cause.
One reason that Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
attended services at Englewood church
was because the Rev. DIR, Hill has &C
ccpted a call to act as pastor over the
First Presbyterian church at Lincoln.
OF which MIR. and Mrs. Bryan are both
members. They wanted TO hear their
new pastor. Mr. Hin Is now pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Austin AMI
he preached at Englewood as supply"
divine in the absence OF the regular
pastor.
All the while there were thousands
OF eager democrats calling at the Cliff
ton house to see their national leader.
But they were disappointed. After re-
turning to the hotel. Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan took dinner and then took an
after-dinner nap which lasted until
nearly O'Clock in the evening. After
thai they went to the parlors and held
an informal reception. The throng
then began to pour in. The democratic
nominee and his wife were kept busy
shaking hands. kissing babies and chill
dren until near time for their depart
ure. They left on the 1880 o'clock train
over the Pennsylvania for the East.
They will arrive at .Pittsburg to-mor-
row night. The train will stop at all
stations between here and Pittsburg
and at every point during the day Bry-
an will give the citizens chance to
hear him talk or shake hands. IL Is un-
derstood that there will be grand
demonstration at Canton, Ohio.- hrt>c
McKinley's home, where the train VIII
arrive about l p. m. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
( Bryan are looking In the best of health
and seem ito enjoy the tour immensely.

guest in suitable fashion, or at least in
such maner as would not be In objec-

European governments, because Ii
Hung Chang comes not as an individ-
