fast west-bound express No. 3, Engineer
Cutler, Conductor Thomas Brown, was
entering Hamden going as miles an
hour. Just as they whistled for the
station the pilot struck a COW. She was
thrown against a switch with such
force as to throw open the switch. The
engine took the switch track while the
coaches kept on the main track. The
engine jumped the track, ran into a
bank and overturned the tender.
The coaches struck the tender, which
lay partially across the main track.

they encountered a car of shelled corn

Brown was badly bruised in the alb

him to the roof. None of the passengers
was injured beyond bruises that are
not serious.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-NIaj. Mckinley was
the central figure in a front porch cpl.
sode Friday night. The familiar scene
was changed from his own front porch
to that of the residence of Charles q.
Dawes in the classic suburb of Evans
ton. The obliging president-elect was
drawn out into the chilly air by the
combined lung power of half a thou
sand enthusiastic students of the North
western university. The distinguished
visitors presence i'll their midst was
college boys quickly organized in parade
order. They marched inan orderly quiet
body to the Dawes house, surrounded
it and Justify cheered for the next presi-
dent of their country. Maj. Mckinley, ac-
companied by Mr.. Dawes, satisfied the
clamor by appearing in his campaign
role, but this time he declined to make
a speech. He merely bowed his appre-
citation of the compliment and returned
to his coy quarters.
Mrs. Mckinley is in better health than
she has been for two months and it is
likely that she will go to New York city
early in the year to do some shopping.
Maj. Mckinley viii accompany her and
if they go it is suggested that they
spend a fortnight at Atlantic City. The
major now talks of returning to Canton
Monday night. His chief political caller
Friday was Gov. Upham. of Wisconsin,
who urged the appointment of Henry
G. Payne to the cabinet.

leagues. The prediction was freely
made that, Notwithstanding the
unanimity with which the resolution
was reported by the senate committee,
it was doubtful if the senate would
adopt it, or at least not without very
considerable delay. Not single mem
Der of the house, out of a score or more
of leaders, could be found who believed
that the senate resolution could pass
the house. The opinion was freely eN-
pressed that the senate, from being a
conservative branch of the government,
has changed places with the house, and
that the latter to-day is by long odds
the conservative branch of congress.
Won't Discuss IT.
Washington, Dec. 19.-In regard to
the Cameron resolution in the senate,
the Spanish minister declares that while
certain sensational papers may be re-
lied upon to publish alleged statements
from him, he is confident that all sensi-
bic people will appreciate that he has
declined and will uniformly refuse to
be led into any discussion or criticism
whatever touching a matter under the
consideration of congress. Such Il mat
ter he would not discuss privately under
any circumstances and he seizes this
opportunity to warn everyone against
statements on the subject which might
be attributed to him, however direct.
Cuban Sympatlizers Pleased.
New York, Dec. 19.-There was great
rejoicing among Cuban sympathizers
in this city when the news of the ac-
ton of the foreign relations commit

strain their pleasure. Tomas Estrada
Palma, delegate of the Cuban republic
to this country, was surrounded by
a jubilant crowd OF Cuban enthusiasts
at the headquarters of the junta in
New street when the news was re-
ceived. He said: eve are, of course,
much pleased with the passing of the
resolution by the foreign affairs COM
mittee, and have confidence that the
senate and house will pass the joint
resolution, as it certainly reflects the
feeling of the people of the United
States"

one of the mob gave the signal for the
murderer to be killed where he stood
by shooting him with a pistol. A charge
of buckshot entered the desperado's
body the next second, and he fell. AS he
lay on the floor writing in pain, vol
ley of lead from pistols were fired into
the wretched man. When he seemed
to be dead, man entered the cell, and
placing pistol barrel at Proctor's head,
pulled the trigger, to make sure that
the most-feared and murderous man of
Logan county was dead.
Hanged to Il Tree.
Then the mob turned their faces and
weapons towards the cells of Dink
Proctor and his son Arch. They were
taken from their cells without resist
ance, the jailer's pleas were unheeded
and the hands of the victims bound.
BY this time there We're fully 200 men
in the mob and no attempt was made
to interfere with their lynch law plans.
The prisoners were taken to q three
limbed cedar tree on the Nashville road.
The empty limb was intended for Bill
Proctor and on the other two limbs
were strung father and son, without
giving either any time for speeches,
confessions or prayers.
Mrs. Proctor, the wife and mother,
who had come to attend the examining
t1ial, was sleeping in a hotel uncon-
scious of the tragedy which was being
enacted close at hand and by order of
the leaders the procession to the i'm
provised gallows was not allowed to
stop at the hotel to grant the last pitt
fui plea of Arch to see and say good-by
to his mother.
The bodies, swinging side by side,were
cut down during the morning and big
crowds of the morbidly curious came to
| the Jail to see the three bodies laid out
there for the coroner's inquiry. The
mob, on it's way from Adairyille, cut all
the telegraph wires leading from that
place, in order to prevent notice of their
coming being given.
Think One Should Have Been Spared.
The law-abiding citizens of Adair-
vile congratulated each other that Bill
and his nephew had been put out of the
way, but the people of the county gen
orally say that DinlS was not deserving
of death.
The brothers were acquitted of the
charge of killing Aaron Grafton and
Arch was held for trial in $4,000 bonds.
The trial of all three was set for Friday
in the other murder ease. Bill killed
several men and had been on trial four
times for his life. He was one of the
four men who was charged with hang
ing Ed Traughber about two years ago.

PUT TO DEATH.
A Furious Mob Raids a jail at
Russellville, KY.
PLEA FOR THE PRISONERS UNHEEDED,
Arch, Dink and Bill Proctor, Awaiting
Trial for Murder, Arc Lynched-The
Latter Rtdtiled with Bullets In His
Cell-The Others Hanged.

Russellville, Ky, Dec. ia blood
thirsty, armed mob of men from Logan
county, half of whom came from Adair-
vile, came to this town after midnight
Friday morning and killed three pris-
oners who were in the Jail waiting for
trial on the charges of murder and con-
spiracy. Arch Proctor, who murdered
Aaron and "Doc" Grafton at Adair-
vile October "a, was taken from the
Jail with his father, Dinll Proctor,
charged with conspiracy in the Graf
ton case, and both men were hanged
to the same tree just outside the town.
Bill Proctor, half brother of Dink,
and credited with being real des-
perado. who had terrorized the Adair-
vile district for score of years, was
riddled with bullets in his cell, defying
the mob to take him out alive and
cursing them with his last breath.
Mob Without Pity.
The man hunters were pitiless and
well organized. They refused to al
low Arch Proctor to see his mother, who
was sleeping in neighboring hotel,
before being deprived of life. The
jailer pleaded with the mob not TO
lynch the men, and then made special
plea for Dink Proctor, who had always
been a quiet citizen, the Grafton muir
ders being the first trouble he had been
mixed up in. But the only answer Of
the leaders was: "Dead men tell no
tales"
Jail Door Battered Down.
The Adairyille mob came into town
about hundred strong and attacked
the Jail at 1880 o'clock. The door of
the main entrance soon gave way be-
fore the onslaught of sledge hammers.
The keeper of the Jail was forced, on
the peril of his life being taken also, to
deliver the keys to the Proctor cells
to the mob's leaders. The victims had
been apprised of the coming of the
lynchers and their intentions, none of
the three being in bed at the time their
cell doors were opened. They faced an
excited, cursing mass of armed men,
each one of whom was eager to lend a
hand in giving the prisoners short
shrift.
