quickly gathered and, reinforced by
thousands of persons, attacked the Jail,
took out the prisoners and proceeded
to where the crime was committed.
Here, under telegraph pole scatfold
was improyised. 1.-THE Kid" was placed
on the scaffold and the rope fastened
about his neck, while be alternately
cursed and jesred the crowd in front OF
him. ANY message?" cried voice in
the crowd. "Well, tell my father that
l died like nervy man." said the Kid.
Anything for your mother ?" mo,
she will see the message to the old
man." "The Kid" continued talking
and laughing with the crowd, then
some one yelled: "Time's up!" THE
Kid" said: ~ am 20 years old and
robbed that bank. l am dead game
and ready to die. Go ahead" 10 an
instant he was pulled up, above the
throng. He never quivered or kicked.
Men who have been on the frontier for
years say no gamer man ever died.
All the while Crawford began to weaken
and finally confessed to the robbery but
denied the murder. He was strung up
along with his companion and their
bodies were left hanging.

DEBATE IN THE SENATE.-In the
Senate yesterday Mr.. Carter, in his
speech, criticised the position of certain
republican Senators. He used very
plain words in deuouncing what he
termed the movement to drive him and
his silver associates out of the repu6li-
can party. MIR. Hoar questioned MIR.
Carter as to whether he intended to
defeat any protective tariff bill unless
Senators surrendered their convictions
to him, aud whether his construction of
the Minneapolis platform agreed with
the construction given to it by Presi.
dent Harrison. Mr.. Carter responded
with great vigor that Mr. Harrison's
course had not been all that was de-
sired, but it was at least beacon of
hope for the future. But it was not the
construction applicable to the situation
in the Senate to-day. Mr.. Gear, of
Iowa, questioned Mr.. Carter upon the
circumstances of framing the financial
plank of the Minneapolis platform,
bringing out that Senators Jones, of
Nevada, and Teller, of Colorado, had
taken part in shaping that document.
Mr.. Carter asserted that. while this
was true, the men who framed that
plank never dreamed that the English
language would permit such miscor-
struction ofits terms. Mr.. Teller and
Mr.. Sherman had some dialogue of
sharp character. 1t was an exciting
session of the Senate.

of any teacher, or could not have made
any protest against the action of the
board, and had such resolution or pro-
test entertained or considered. Wit
ness could not recall any such protest
ever having been made by DR.. Win
ston. DR.. Winston, witness said, was a
member of the executive committe
and that committee practically had
control of the institution; and had he
not considered the institution proper
place for afflicted children to be cared
for, he occupied the very best position
to remedy the evil.
Being asked as to the appropriation
for the institution, Mr.. Mushbach stat
ed that it was very meagre, and wss
only sufficient to pay the running ex
penses of the institution, and left moth
log los for improvements. The main
building, he testified, was constantly In
need of repair, being over sixty years
old, aud its sanitary condition was not
what it should be.

THE PILOT LAws.-Some very in
teresting developments were made in
regard 10 compulsory pilotage laws be-
fore committee OF the legislature last
night in the discussion of an amend
ment to the pilot laws, providing for a
concession from the Pilots Association
abolishing pilotage on coal barges.
Several Richmond men appeared in OPP
position, and made the charge. which
was not denied, that the concession was
made in favor of the Norfolk and
Western, and Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroads to keep those corporations
from taking part in the movement in
Congress to pass general law abolish
ing compulsory pilotage. A bill was
introduced in the Virginia House on
Tuesday looking to the adjustment of
this tax on vessels in this State, but
owing to the limited time remaining to
the session il may not pass. 1t is now
supposed that without the concession
named the two railroad corporations re-
ferred to will throw the weight of their
influence for the bill in Congress.
