SIMON COOPER HANGED
CAPTURED BY POSSE, AFTER A
LONG, DETERMINED RESISTANCE,
Later Taken from the Omcers. Strung
to the Limb of a Tree and the
Body Riddled with Bullets.

SUMTER, S. c., Jan. S-Simon Cooper
the negro outlaw who yesterday murdered
three members OF the Wilson family and a
colored servant, was lynched near here to-
day. Cooper was captured by the sheriff's
posse and was being taken to Sumter, when
the mob decided to hang him. The deputy
sheriff, aided by two men, resisted the
lynchers. but were overpowered. A rope
was thrown over the limb of a tree and as
the man swung upward the body was
pierced by more than $50 bullets. One bull
let cut the rope and the corpse fell TO the
ground, where the coroner found it some
hours later when he went to hold an in
quest.
Cooper was captured about noon in a
cabin five miles from this place. About 2
o'clock this morning Jake Dargan, colored,
went TO the house of w. S. Burkett, white
neighbor, and said that Cooper was at his
house asleep. Burkett rode to Sumter with
the news and a deputy sheriff with a posse
of nine men Immediately left. A woman
and man were in the house with Cooper
HE sent the woman out and later sent the
man TO buy him some ammunition in Cam
den, giving him a sample shell. The man
rode over TO the posse and gave IL the shell.
Cooper was we'll armed with Winchesters
and kept up continuous fire. The house is
smap and on a hill I'm the open. so that the
posse could not at first come within range
WIFI any utETce Oh safety. Onc6 COOPER
came out OF the house with his gun and was
taking aim when a Mr.. McCown fired at
him. Cooper Immediately dropped his gun
and seemed to be hit. He did not shoot
but returned to the house Coopers steady
fire kept the crowd under cover for some
time. About noon, however. an advance
was made and the posse closed in. After a
parley Cooper agreed TO come out Several
men posted themselves at the door and as
the outlaw stepped out he was seized by the
arms AS he stood facing the crowd a shot
was fired and Cooper dropped with a rifle
ball through his cheeks. He was not badly
made an attempt TO get his hand TO rs
trousers. In his shirt a razor was found
while beneath his trousers band was a
loaded revolver. Cooper was drunk. and

The outlaw was placed in a wagon with Mr.
Mckagen, OF Sumter, and Mr.. TubeVille of
Florence, and the party started for town
The crowd of nearly one hundred men fol-
lowed. There were mutterings of lynching
but the trouble did not eliminate until
Green swamp was reached, about two miles
from Sumter Then the mob demanded

sum of 500, 900 Appropriated for Ex-

poets of a Deficiency.
IMPORTANT BILLS INTRODUCED
ANTITRUST MEASURE AND BUILDING
AND LOAN BILL
Compulsory observation-disclosures Not
to he Trifed With-Tribute to MIR.
Nye-COntests in the House.

The House did not convene until II was
time for the joint session to listen to the
message. After the reading was over the
House continued in session until after l
o'clock, the subjects engrossinS its atten-
tion being the adoption Of a new set OF rules
and the passage of bill appropriating
money for the expenses of the session. As
soon as the Senate retired after the joint
session a number of minor resolutions
were offered, and then Mr.. Nicholson, as
chairman of the committee on rules. ap-
pointed the day before, arose and read his
report.
The new rules are calculated TO strength
en- the hands of the speaker and hold in
check to some extent the large and bois-
ferrous minority of Popocrats and Populists
The committee contained four Republicans
and one Democrat Mr.. Bowers. II met
Thursday afternoon at o'clock, but the
Republican members met at and agreed
upon the more important changes. The
minority members had not been posted on
the subject. and when the rules were read
yesterday seven of them voted for their
adoption. The only change of large i'm
portance is on the question of an appeal
from the decision of the chair. Instead of
a mere majority it requires two-thirds
majority TO overthrow the decision OIL the
chair Another rule, aimed at the lobbyists
who are in the habit of calling members
outside the bar of the House, defines the
bar and provides that no member shall
vote unless he is in the bar of the House.
Mr.. Nicholson read the new rules, moved
the adoption of the report and on this de-
manded the previous question. The rules
were adopted by vote of 30 to 40, and no
body on the minority side but Representa-
tive Sutton was inclined to be mad about it.
Representative Thomas introduced the
first bill OF the session, and. as
usual. il was bill appropriating
money for the expenses of the
session. 1t was passed without obJec-
ton under suspension of the rules. The
amount appropriated was 100000. which is
about 5000 short of the necessities of the
session. Until two years ago the amount
appropriated was $4,000. but in 1895 the
Republicans endeavored to hold the eX-
penses down TO 100000. the result being
deficiency of S3. 600 or 81 600. III her the nv
ate will have to amend the bill passed yes
terday or there will be another deficiency.
After passing this bill the House adjourned
until next Monday morning. The session
then will be short, as the inauguration GER
emony occurs that day. On Tuesday morn
ing Speaker Petit will announce his COM
mittees and the House will begin its regular
business

OTHER CELEBRATIONS.
William j. Bryan Praises the POpu-
lists of Nebraska.

OMAHA. Jan. s.--g5sfe astslual banquet of
the Jackson Club of this city was held at
the Paxton Hotel this evening The ban
quet was really an ovation to William j.
Bryan, with a few speeches to other DEM
ocrats to add variety to the occasion.
When the distinguished guest OF the even
ing rose TO address the people present his
reception was TO the highest degree en-
thusiastic. He paid tribute to the Pop
ulists being the pioneers in the move
ment for governmental reforms and COM
plimented the Republicans who left their
party and voted the Democratic ticket.
He expressed pleasure over the result of
the election in this State. but did not at
tribute the result TO the fact that Nebraska
was his home. but rather 20 the fact that
there was such complete harmony among
all the forces which made up the fu-
sion here. He saw in 1t a lesson for other
States. and said that when they had the
same amount Of education on the principal
subjects in the Democratic platform as Ne
braska had had and the same perfect har-
mony among the people supporting those
questions victory would come to their par
ty in the Nation.

The President Criticised.

PITTSBURG, Jan. S.-George w. Skinner,
pension agent for this district. was the un-
expected orator of the occasion tonight
when the Randall Club commemorated
Jackson day at the clubhouse. Though
holding a commission from Grover Cleve-
land he raped the President in a manner
that was literally applauded. In the course
of Mr.. SINNERS speech he predicted that
Mr.. Bryan would be the next President.
IF the politicians do not nominate him
the people will he said. Mr.. Skinner then
continued: while 1 will say nothing more

Mr.. Cleveland has misinterpreted the feeling
in the minds of the masses Of the Demo-

Democratic leaders is that they were reared

created a profound sensation, and there
was a moment for recovery from shock be-
fore applause broke out.
