Sheridan Road of the Future.


Two hundred and fifty miles of
smooth road, at times skirting the
breakers of old Lake Michigan, now
plunging into the forest, and again
meandering through the finest farming
country the sun ever smiled upon
such is to be the ruture of the Sheridan
road. Picture broad highway, eX-
tending from Chicago to Milwaukee,
from Milwaukee through the lake
MDtted and river entwined country
(which separates the Cream city from
Lake Geneva; imagine that highway
winding around the verdure- covered
hills which overlook that superb body
of water from the village Of Lake
Geneva to Williams Bay; continue that
road across the state line until it
strikes the Fox River, through Hunt
ley, Algonquin, classic old Dundee and
beautiful Elgin, and from the city of
watches follow the route familiar to all
lovers of bicycling past st. Charles,
Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, Downers
Grove and Hinsdale, until it connects
with the West Park Boulevard system.
and you will have a faint prophetic
vision Of the Sheridan Road of the next
decade. Chicago tribune.

IT LOOKED SCARY,
But the Storm Passed Quicky-WildR Reports Were Ahoat That Decatur and Nash
 vile Had Been Wrecked.

Late yesterday afternoon violent wind storm, accompanied by rain and lightning, passed over the city, coming from the east
 The duration of the storm was brief, but many breathed freer after it had ceased. The clouds were very heavy, and while there was nothing of the fun nel shape to suggest a cyclone, appre- hension was whetted by recollection of the catastrophe which had befallen St. Louis.
 The storm did no damage of a material nature. It's most serious effect, perhaps, was the postponement of the bicycle car nival and the consequent spelling of a very pretty picture.
 In the early evening reports were rife that Decatur had been wrecked by cy- clone, and that Nashville had suffered also
 The State Herald's telephone was kept busy answering inquiries, whom it re- assured by stating that Decatu and the number of persons also called at the Western Union office. They were given information identical with that furnished by the State Herald. MT. J. C. Bishop, the courteous night chief operator, told State Herald representative at 8 D. m. that the wires of the company had been blown down by storm in the vicinity of Columbia, Tenn, but had been re- strung immediately, and all wires out of his office were in good working order.

II CROWS.
The Full Proportions of the Moscow Death Fete Not Yet Known-There May
 Be 5000 Dead.

Moscow, June 1.-The disaster on the Kohodijnskoje plain Saturday is con- stantly gaining in proportion as the in- vestigations by the authorities continue. These are made under difficulties, as the recovery of the victims was conducted by hundreds of volunteers, and many were carried away before they were emu merated. Many additional deaths of the injured who were carried away are oc- curing, which are only added to the enumeration after some time
 It Is now said that the fatalities will amount to between 2000 and 5000, but it is impossible yet to ascertain accurately the extent of the disaster. An official statement issued places the number of dead recovered at 1886 and the seriously or fatally injured at 2S6. But, in con- trast with this official statement, there are 12S2 corpses lying at the cemetery, besides the many dead and dying that are known to have been removed from the ill-fated field by friends.

LOOKED AND TREMBLED.
Citizens of St. Louis and East St. Louis Had Their Hearts in Their Mouths for
 While Yesterday.

St. Louis, June 1.-Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning the two stricken cit les, St. Louis and East St. Louis, re- ceived thorough scare. A storm came up from the southwest, accompanied by low rumblng thunder and almost contin- uous flashes of lightning. Then, a few minutes later, big black clouds appeared on the northern horizon, and rolled up un- til they covered the city. There was con- sidera ble wind, though nothing at all ap- preaching a hurricane or tornado. The elemental disturbance lasted for nearly an hour, and then became slow, driz- zling rain, which had increased to a downpour at 10 o'clock this morning.
 The work of clearing awaysthe ruins is being carried on in a more systematic manner today, but the rain makes the work all the more difficult

What the Magnates Did.

Montgomery, June 1.-(Special)-A called meeting of the Southern league was held in this city yesterday, all of the teams excepting Atlanta's being repre- scented. President Powers presided, and the following were in attendance: MT. Flournoy of Columbus, Ga., MT. Allison of Birmingham, Mr. Burns of Mobile, MT Holt and MT. Jones of Montgomery, and President Powers of New Orleans.
 The prime object of the meeting was to discuss the settlement of the Little Rock tangle President Powers was, by reso- Iution, authorized to compromise with the Little Rock management for the sum of $500 Little Rock insists on being paid $75O, but the league declined to pay them exceeding $500.
 Umpire Clark was given the high ball, the president being authorized to accept his resignation whether 1t was presented or not. Honest John Kelley. of Mobile was offered the position, but since the meeting adjourned it has been learned that he has recently been injured by a fall and is on crutches.
 The settlement of contested games was referred to the directors
 The president submitted his report on the financial condition of the league which is most satisfactory. The league owes nothing and has d good, comforta- ble sinking fund on hand. The attend ance iu all of the league cities was re- ported good and improving.
 A proposition was submitted to cut the season in two and make double instead

The game was probably the best ever played on Columbus diamond Keefe's umpiring was rocky, but he gave it to both sides evenly The score follows:

THE MOB WAS MEMORABLE

Columbus, Ga., June 1.-Two negroes were hung to tree in the middle of Broad street, the main business thor oughfare of this city, and riddled with bullets by an infuriated mob at 10 o'clock this morning. They were Jesse Slaton and Will Miles. Last Thursday Slaton outraged Mrs. Howard Bryan, respecta- ble white lady of this (Muscogee) county. He was captured that day by officers in the city and placed in jail before the crowd looking for him found him. This morning he was carried to the superior court room for trial He had been in- dicted, and jury was being empaneled, when mob rushed up the steps into the court room, yelling and brandishing rifles and pistols and seized the terrified man, threw a rope around his neck and dragged him 100 yards down Broad street, riddl.ng his body with bullets at every step. The body was then swung up to a tree and left dangling there.
 The crowd then went to the jail after will Miles, another negro, who, in the night time about two years ago, attempt ed an outrage upon Mrs. Albright, lady of this city. The jailer pleaded with the mob, but to no avail and was compelled to surrender Miles to save his own life and the jail from destruction. He sur rendered the keys, and the doomed man was led to where the body of Slaton dan gled.
 He was quickly swung up, and his body riddled with a hundred bullets Miles has been tried and convicted twice, and his case has twice been sent back by the supreme court on technical.ties for new trial. His first trial resulted in mistrial and he was in jail awaiting his fourth trial. The laws delay in this instance had much to do with causing today's mad mob to override the law and the court itself this morning.
