CINCINNATI. o., June 3.-The Com
mercial-Tribune's special from III bana,
says:
There is general relief here tonight
because the lynching of click" Mitch
ell has been prevented by the prompt
action of the court The grand jury
was impaneled to-day and reported
AT $50 tonight its examination of five
witnesses and the indictment of
Charles Mitchell, colored. for the GRIM
inal assault of Mrs. Eliza Goumer,
white. The court thanked the jury
for its good days work.
Then Sheriff Mclean and his depu-
ties brought Mitchell into court,
dressed in soldiers uniform. As the
militia were on duty about the court
house and the Jail, this disguise of the
prisoner worked perfectly. The crowds
that were about the grounds and in
the streets did not know what was go
ing on. and those who saw Mitchell en-
route from the Jail to the courthouse
did not recognize him. The doors
to the courthouse were all guard
ed by the militia. Prosecute
ing Attorney White represented the
state, and Attorney Flaugher, the pris-
oner. With the military about the
building and the crowds outside Mitch
ell was badly scared. He waived the
reading of the indictment, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to the ex-
treme limit for criminal assault, 20
years in the penitentiary. The hear
ing occupied only few moments. The
court ordered the sheriff to take the
prisoner to Columbus at once.

THE LOYAL LEGION.
Who Shall Compose Its Membership When

DETROIT, Mich. June "A hundred
members of the military order of the
Loyal Legion. all more or less distn-
guished as army or naval officers, are
discussing important questions relat-
ing to that order in the Hotel Cadillac
to-day. Gen. Alger, secretary of war,
is among those present.
Rear Admiral Ghcrardi. U. S. N,
who is commandments of the
legion, opened the conference by intro
ducing Mayor Maybury, also com
panion of the legion, who made an elo-
quent address of welcome. The mayor
referred to Grant, Poe. Alger and other
noted members of the Detroit com
mandery living and dead, who would
have joined in the welcome if they
could.
After some delay the conference pro-
ceeded TO business. taking up the much
mooted question of what the legionship
shall consist of when its present mem
bership shall have passed away, still
preserving the hereditary distinctions
which characterize the order.
A dozen amendments had been Of
fered and the opening session was al
most entirely devoted to discussing
them.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, June 3.-A threat
eped mutiny in the state prison atFolsom
yesterday was stopped by the prompt
and decisive action of Warden Charles
Aull, who directed that the guards
should at once shoot down the seven
ringleaders at the first sign of revolt
About 500 convicts are employed at
the rock crusher, and the plan agreed
upon by the rcvolters was that when
they returned to the rock crusher at
noon yesterday they should refuse to
work. Warden Aull learned of the
projected mutiny and secured the
names of the seven ringleaders in the
movement. The warden waited until
within few minutes before the hour
for the 800 conyicts to strike and when
they felt themselves about to become
masters of the situation.
Then he gave the order that. at the
first sign of the threatened revolt the
guards should shoot down the seven
ringleadcrs, whose identity the warden
had communicated To the guard. The
convicts completely collapsed at this
thoroughly unexpected turn Of affairs.
There was no signal 10 strike and they
went about their work as usual.

1t is reported that the examination

reason given for this action is
that the foreman of the grand
