CHARGED WITH MURDERS.
Another Victim Traced to mig Jack
l.aInOntc, of Wisconsin.

West Superior, Wis, Feb. 1S.-Thc
body of the man found in the woods
last Thursday has been identified by
George Murray. of the East End, as that
of Newton Mcmillan, who has been
missing since last October, and who was
supposed to have been murdered by
Henry Lamonte. alias big Jack" who
is now in the county Jail here awaiting
trial for another murder. Murray is
positive that he is right. His decision
Is based upon the recognition of tat
tooed marks upon the dead mans
arms. He claims to have been inti-
mately acquainted with Mcmillan in
TWO Harbors, Minn., where they were
employed at the same trade and upon
the same works. He also remembers
the circumstances of the execution of
means of Identification. the face having
been horribly mutilated by wild beasts
and there being no papers found upon
the person.
If this crime can be traced to La
monte, 1t vii make the fourth murder
for which he Is wanted in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. Mcmillan
when last seen by parties who knew him
was i'm company with LamOnte, and 1t
is known that the latter left Two Har-
bors about the time Mcmillan disap-
peared. Mcmillan possessed $500 at the
time he started away with Lamonte,
and this Is supposed to have been the
incentive for the crime.
Officers believe I.amonte killed an un-
known Scotch sailor at Dedhan, Sep
tember %. to secure $l20 the man pos
sessed. He is also accused of murder
ing Deputy Sheriff Wilson, of Denver,
three years ago, while the latter was
trying to arrest him. His other alleged
victim was found in cranberry marsh

HANGED BY A MOB.
Two Men Taken from kentucky Prison,
but Ono Escapes.

Louisville. KY, Feb. 1S.-Fountain
Martin and William Troxwell, who were
confined in the Jail at Monticello on the
charge of barn burning, were taken out
by mob early yesterday morning and
Martin was hanged. TroXwell was
about to be lynched. but finding the
moose was loose. he slipped 1t over his
head and darted away in the darkness.
TrOXwell appeared at a farm house
three miles from the scene of the hang
ing and got his breakfast. No one has
seen him since and II Is believed he
is making his way into the Cumber-
land mountains, where pursuit would
be well nigh impossible.
This was the third attempt to lynch
Troxwell. Three weeks ago he was
taken from his home by mob and
hanged to tree until he was nearly
dead I'm order to make him confess to
the burning OF barn. He swore out
warrants the next day for number
of men in and around Steubenville. but
he never appeared against them and he
was later placed in Jail. The lynching
was done just before daybreak. Fiji
teen or twenty men We're in the gang.
They got into the Jail by pretending
that one of their number was q pris-
oner. The authorities believe that they
can capture them.

INDUSTRIAL.

An Ashland dispatch says: The an
nouncement Is made that the Logan
and Centralia collieries at Centralia,
and the Big Mine Run colliery at this
place. now operated by Lewis A. Riley
4 Co, have passed into the hands of
the Lehish Valley Coal company. The
deal also involves the transfer o! the
lease on the Germantown coal tract.
which has been held by Riley & Co. for
:he past four years. The Lahigh Val
ley Coal company takes control on
March next. The mammoth store at
Centralia is not included in the deal.
and will be continued without any
change in :he ownership or manage
:nent.. The most important feature
connected with this deal is that the Le-
high Valley Coal company has decid-
Ell to develop the Germantown tract
northwest of Ashland. where there is a
vast amount of good coal. A breaker
will be erected. which will be one of the
largest and most complete in the coal
region, giving employment to perhaps
500 men and boys. 1t is said that this
work will be commenced at once, and
will be- completed in about two years.
To reach this colliery. the Lehigh Val
ley railroad will construct a branch of
their railroad extending from Dark
Corner. mining village about one mile
east Of Centralia. along the mountain
side north of Ashland to Germantown.
a distance of five miles. The prelimi-
nary surrey for this branch of the road
has already been made.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company, in its seventy-fifth annual
report, shows n loss of $1l, ,163 on coal
mined In the year 1895. The old Lehigh
company was first in the business Of
sending anthracite coal to market. and
its coal has always ranked with the
hest produced. The company paid FER
cent. dividends, but failed 90 earn the
full amount necessary by $l3i,93j. The
company produced II 69J tons of coal
more than in 1894. but the shipments of
coal over it's railroad leased to the Cen
trail Railroad Of New Jersey increased
241 900 tons. which. with other augment
ed business. raised the amount received
as rental $135.501. Taking into con-
sideration the 10 cents per ton sinking
fund on coal mined the company ran
behind for the year $229 900. This re-
suit, observes the Philadelphia Press.
was due entirely to the unfortunate
state of the coal trade, and not to the
management of the company. which,

ants, Is conservative and business-like.
