In referring TO the Cook county Gll)
lynching bee of Thursday, which was
caused by the usual crime, the New York
Evening Post remarks:
People IN Illinois who have wondered
how il happened that white men down
South became so excited 'as TO lynch a
black man who assails white woman
the moment they lay hands upon him
ought TO learn something from what
happened yesterday in farming town of
Cook county. not many miles from Chi
cago.
And again:
There was here no element OF race
prejudice, no survival Of ancient bitter
ness growing out OF slavery. no hostility
OF poor white trash towards the negro,
only a manifestation Of those elemental
forces which may be stirred TO uncon-
trollable fury in the wild excitement
caused by an atrocious crime"

il has exertod a decided influence upon
German business circles by imparting
special instruction to young merchants,

IA small corral of powders. behind which
they crouched to avoid the shots of the
Indians, who occupied the surrounding
heights. Their supply of rationS was
short. and the Indians used their W III
chcSters effectively; the beloaguercd sol

death or starvation.
But the secretary of war acted with
vigor. Troops were gathered from Bridg-

command of Col. Wesley Merritt. odd
Wesley said veterans, will come with

AT SEA IN A COFFIN.
Escorted by Sharks, He Paddles His
Sepu!Chral Canoe,


Some curious details of the lie OF the
French conyicts at Cayenne, Guyane.
ad the Safety Islands are given by NJ.
Paul Mimande in volume which he
has just published in Paris, entitled
"Forcats et Proscrits." After describ-
ing all the most famous criminals at
present in the penal colonies, the au-
thor deals with marvellous escapes and
attempts to escape.
Perhaps the most remarkable of
them all is that of the assassin Lupl,
who went to sea in a coffin. He man
aged to get some nails, tar and cotton,
and one dark night he got into the cot
fin shed. He selected a fine, Stanch and
seaworthy coffin, fastened the lid, in or
der to turn it into deck, leaving q
cockpit sufficient to enable him 70
crawl in. He calked all the joints as
well as he could, and when this work
was finished he made a pair of paddles
out of two planls. Then he brought out
his craft with great precaution With
out much difficulty he reached the wa
ter's edge. There he launched his bark
and crawled on board. Assisted by the
tide, he padded his scpulchral craft.
Silently ami slowly he proceeded, in the
hope of reaching either Venezuela or
British Guinea.
Now, $50 nautical miles in a coffin did
not constitute a very tempting enter
prise. but Lupi was full of confidence.
At the penitentiary it was soon discoy-
cred that he was missing. No boat had
been taken away. The boats are al
ways we'll guarded, and nobody ever
dreamed for a moment that any man
would go to sea in a coffin. 1t was
thought that he had either committed
suicide or concealed himself some
where near by.
Fortunately, or unfortunately. for
Lupi, the steamer Abeille, returning
from the Antilles, off Paramaribo.
came close TO him. The captain noticed
an object that looked like a piece of
Wreckage around which a flock OF sea
glllls were circling and screaming. Nat
urally that excited his attention. He
steered the boat in the direction of the
object. As he came close to 1t his curl
osity was Increased. The thing which
at first he took to be a piece of wreck
age turned out to be q coffin, and in adj
dltion to its noisy winged escort it was
accompanied by two guards that tray
elcd on either side of il like mounted
escorts at the doors of an official car
riage. These two guards were enOr-
NOUS sharks, whose great dOrSal fins
from time 10 time seemed to touch the
sides Of the box. The captain of the
Abeillc stopped the vessel and ordered
q boat TO be launched and manned
when the boat approached the coffin
the birds continued TO hover about,
but the sharks went down. The men in
the boat looked into the box, and what
was their astonishment to find Il man
I'm 1t half drowned and almost in a
fainting condition. They hauled him
into the boa and took Him on board the
vessel, and few hours later he was in
irons in his cell.
Unseaworthy boats are sometimes
called collins, but Lupi is perhaps the
only man who ever went to sea in a
genuine coflin.-New York Sun.
