FOUGHT A PUBLIC DUEL.
In a Fight Growing Out of Runaway
Marriage One Man Was
Kjijed

LEBANON, IND, June AT o'clock
this morning Thomas Allen, wealthy
stock-dealer, and Walter Riley a promi
nent citizen, engaged in duel in front of
the postotfice. Riley was instantly killed,
and Aliens son, who was sitting in his
fathers carriage, was seriously injured.
The tragedy was the result of runaway
marriage between Aliens son, aged II, and
Riley's daughter, aged "a. With the as
sistance OF friend, who swore that the
boys age was q, they secured license
and were married last Saturday morning.
When Allen learned of the marriage he
was very wroth. This reached the ears of
Riley, and he went cunning for Allen. He
found him in front of the postoffice and
opened fire on him. Alien jumped from
his carriage and fired, killing Riley in
stantly. Young Allen Will probably re-
cover. Great excitement prevails here.
Allen is in jail. He claims that he acted
in self-defense.

SWIFT VENGEANCE or A MOB.
Two Negroes Taken From Officers and
Swung Up in the Main Street
of Georoia Town.

COLUMBUS, GA, June 1.-Two negroes
were hanged to a tree IN the middle of
Broad street, the main business thorough
fare of this city, and riddled with bullets
by an infuriated mob at 10 o'clock this
morning. They were Jesse Slayton and
Willis Miles.
Last Thursday Slayton assaulted Mrs.
Howard Bryan, a respectable white woman
of this county. He was captured and
placed in jail before the crowd looking for
him found him. He was taken to the
Superior Court room for trial.
He had bee n indicted and jury was be-
ing impaneled when mob rushed up the
steps of the courtroom. seized the terrified
man, threw a rope around his neck and
dragged him hundred yards down Bro ad
street, riddling his body with bullets. The
body was then swung up to tree and left
dangling there.
The crowd then went to the jail after
Miles, another negro, who about two
years ago attempted to assault Miss
Albright of this city. The iailer
pleaded with the mob, but to no avail,

USING DYNAMITE AND TORCH.
Cuban Insurgents Burn the Town of
Jamaica and Wreck Train Near
Sabaniiid

HAVANA, CUBA, June 1.-The entire
town of Jamaica, near Havana, has been
burned by the rebel band under the COM
mand of the insurgent leader Castillo.
A party of rebels yesterday placed dyna-
mite bombs upon the railway track near
Sabanilla, in the Matanzas province, which
were exploded bv a repair train containing
a number of workmen.
The train was completely wrecked. The
engineer was killed and several workmen
injured. A band of rebels made an attack
upon the town of Santiago las Vegas, in
the province of Havana, to-day, but were
repulsed.
The rebel bands under Ansalmo and
Rodriguez entered the town of Puerta de
la Guira, south of the Drocha, yesterday,
and set fire to the place, burning every
building in the town.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, June 1.-An un-
known steamer, resembling the Laurada,
attempted to enter Port Antonio to-day,
but was headed off by a Spanish gunbcat.
Shots were exchanged by the two vessels
and the steamer was using her guns as she
was running away.
OCALA, FLA, June Fully 500 peo-
pie assembled at the depot here to-day
to greet Consult General Fltzhugh Lee on
his way to Cuba. On the arrival of
the train Colonel John M. Martin and
others entered the car and brought
General Lee to the platform, where he was
introduced by Colonel Martin. r. A.
Burford extended to General Lee well
come to Florida soil, to which General
Lee made happy response.
He hoped the dust of travel would be
out of his eyes by the time he got to Cuba,
and no more would be thrown into them.
1t was great pleasure to General Lee
and delight to the people to meet the
distinguished soldier. After responding
General Lee held a reception until the
train pnlied out.

Santa Clara yesterday. He told Marshal
Lowell his story, and the officer imme-
diately made use of some information
regarding q bicycle that Durham had Sc
cured at Santa Clara the day before the
murder. The officer first learned of this
bicycle yesterday.
Dunham came to the Warwick Cvclery
that day and said he wanted an old ma
chine that he had of that make fitted up
with some strong wheels and tires.
He said if he got the materials he could
do the work himself He secured the
wheels he wanted with some extra large
tires on them. These tires would make a
track of exactly the size that Wadams
said he had seen in the mountains.
Dunham did not say anything about his
intentions but 1t would appear that he
was getting the wheel into shape to have
a long, hard ride upon il in a rough
country.
He wanted lot of extra heavy spokes
to put into the wheel, and as there were
not enough of that kind at the Warwick
Cyclery be bought enough TO fill out the
set at the cyclery kept by G. Mitchell.
No traces of this bicycle have since been
found, and the officers have no doubt that
it is the same one that Dnnham has since
used in the mountains.
How he got the wheel up there at the
same time as his horse is a mystery. Some
of the officers now believe that he has
confederate, who is also cycler, and who
may have taken the bike into the noun
tains and left it at some prearranged place
for Durham.
The posse that was headed by Sheriff
Lyndon started shortly after 10 O. clock to-
night in three-seated rig.
1t consists of Sheriff Lyndon, Sheriff
BaIlou ana his bloodhounds, Deputy
Sheriff Benson, Marshal Lowell and Wood
Wadamt, the young man who brought in
the Information.
Wadams knows every trail and gulch
and barbed- wire fence in The region where
Dunham was seen last, and he will be
valuable aid in guiding the searching
party,

One Correspondent Estimates That
36oo Persons Were Killed in
the Awful Rush.

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, June livery effort
is being made to clear the Hodynsky Plain
of the dead upon it who lost their lives in
the disaster of Saturday. To-day num-
ber of bodies were found on the edges of
the plain and in the villages around. The
dead were injured and crawled until death
overlook them. The functions in connec-
ton with the coronation festivities are
being given as though nothing had hap
pened. The pleasure resorts are open as
usual. Many of the moujiks danced about
the beer casks while the dead were lying
around. 1t is stated that large numbers
of the injured refused to go to the hos
pitals. The mob, subsequent to the dis
aster, callously stood by the corpses and
received the doles.
All the bodies of the victims were in
tered to-day. About half of the dead
were identified. The unclaimed dead
filled eleven trenches, which were fifty
yards long. Tonight the city and re-
sumed its normal aspect, and a stranger,
unless told, would never for a moment
imagine that only two days ago one of the
most frightful calamities that ever oc-
CURED in Russia had taken place Just out
side the city.
LONDON, ENG, June 1.-The Standar s
Moscow correspondent estimates the num-
Der of dead at 3600 besides 200 injured,
who were taken to the hospitals. Most of
the injured, he says, will die.
The lower classes of the populace are in
tensely exasperated and language can be
heard on the streets that at other times
would cause the speakers to be severely
punished.
The correspondent adds that when the
police re-enforcements and Cossacks ar
rived on the plain Saturday morning, as is
customary with them when dealing with
the peasantry, they applied their whips
cruelty and needlessly, lashing the mou-
jiks, who were cn the outskirts OF the
crowd. Two of the Cossacks were dragged
from their horses by the enraged sufferers
and killed. Eight gendarmes were caught
in the crowd, knocked down and suffo-

ATTACK ON THE OREGON
Concealed Plates Alleged to Be
Used to Bolster Up the
Deck.
Dissatisfied Employees Cause an Inves-
tigation by the Navy Depart.
ment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Certain
alleged defects in the construction of the
battle ship Oregon have been investigated
by the Navy Department.
1t is said that contract requirements
have not been fully met as to the thickness
of plates used in making UP the protective
deck, and that the deck has been made to
appear to be of proper thickness by using
concealed plates in the body of the deck.
1t further appears that these defects
have been called to the attention of the
department by dissatisfied employees of
the contractors, but that the latter have
promised to remedy the defects.
