LATER.

AsHEvILLE, N. { August 11.-Bob
Brackett, the negro assailant of Miss
Kittie Henderson, was lynched this
afternoon. AS announced in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch last night, a
mob broke into the jail at this place
and commenced to batter down the
steel cells that led to the cells. The
doors yielded and it was then discov-
cred that Bracket had been spirited
away by the officers. All the prison
ers in the Jail were liberated.
Pursuit of the officers was at once
commenced and a crowd caught up
with them at Terrell station, on the
Southern Railway eighteen miles east
of here early this morning. Bracket
was taken from his protectors but the
mob could not agree as to the dispo-
sition of him. Some wished to hang
him there, but the stronger party de-
cided to take him back to the vicin-
ity of his crime. 1t was 4:35 a. m.
when the party started out afoot,
leading the negro, now nearly ex-
hausted and seemingly only half con-
cious though he had not been i'll
treated. B,e tkfast was had with
farmer, the negro having his share,
and then the walk of some twelve
miles was resumed.
The route was through deep "a
vine, between towering mountains.
At noon Hemphill's school house was
reached, and there the party was in
formed that the Asheville militia had
been called out and were on their
way to meet the mob. After consul
tation, Miss Kittie Henderson, the
negro's victim, was sent for-four
and a half miles away-that she
might see her assailant hanged.
When she arrived the negro was
strung up, so quietly that half the
hangers on, who had gathered from
the country around, did not know
that it had been done. No shots
were fired, and the mob dispersed
after half hour, leaving the body
hanging.
At no time was it possible for the
militia to have interfered.
This is the third lynching in Bun
combe county in twelve years.

Begging for Bread.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 9.-Appeals fol
food and provisions were numerous al
the headquarters of the miners officials
in this city to-day. 1t appeared as il
there was wall from every section ol
the district and miners in person were
present to beg that the suffering ones
be looked after. Secretary Warner
was kept busy answering the appeals
He said tonight that he had sent more
than ST 900 worth of groceries and pro-
visions into various parts of the dis
trict. The appeals are now coming in
from the families, the heads OF which
are at the various mining camps using
their influence to keep other men from
working.
A series Of meetings are to be held
all over the district. 1t is expected to
keep up the interest in every section
and strengthen every point where there
is the least indication of weakness.
President Dolan issued a call to day
for mass meeting of all the miners at
Cannonsburg Wednesday morning. 1t
is expected that Eugene Debs, Mrs.
Jones, Patrick Dolan, NJ. P. Carrick
and others will make addresses.
AT the instication of Thomas Sutton,
of Willock's, Henry Ulribh, Emil Ma
ger, Henry Huser and Gustav Kings,
miners, were committed to Jail for a
hearing before Alderman J. B. McMas-
ters on various charges th-day. Ulrich
is charged with aggravated assault aed
battery, Nagel is charged with assault
and barley, ,and Huser and Rings with
unlawful assemblage. The arrests are
the result of an alteration at Willock's
July s, on account of the strike. War
rants are out for number of others.
Early this morning the miners of
West Elizabeth made a march on the
mines Of the Elizabeth Mining Com
pany, formerly operated by Horner &
Roberts. About fifty men were going
to work. After a consultation the men
asked that they be allowed to finish
loading a flat They agreed to go out
as soon as it was loaded, which will
take several doys. The officials of
the company made an effort this after
noon to get permission from the mining
oficiale to continue work on 69 cents
basis This was not given and it is ex-
pected that the mine will be idle as
soon as the flat is loaded.

An Officer Shot.

CULLMAN, ALA, August 10.-S. NJ.
Allison, of this city was shot last
night in the upper part of this county
by Geo. W. Sullivan, whom he was
endeavoring to arrest. Sullivan is
wanted by the Southern Express
Company for train robbery in Arkan
sas.
Sullivan, who was recognized
through the pictures that had been
sent out of him, was found in the
home OF a Mr.. Smithers, three miles
north of town, about II o'clock last
night. A knock on the door was an
swered by its being opened, and step.
ping in, the pnrsuers found their man
lying on pallet on the floor. Sulli-
van Immediately raised himself to a
sitting position and asked, DO you
want me?" Allison answered, "If
your name is Sullivan l do" The
latter raised himself and his pistol at
the same time, and fired. The ball
entered the neck. Allison fell, and
for some time it was thought he was
dead. Sullivan fled without shoes or
hat. He went into Faulkville this
morning and surrendered, saying he
had killed man and feared violence.
He is in custody at Decatur and will
be brought here tomorrow. Allison
is lying in criticatl condition at his
home here. The reward for Sullivan
is SOD.

Virginia Democrats.

ROANOKE, VA, August 10.-The
Democratic State Convention which
will assemble in the opera house to-
morrow at noon will be one of the
most representative bodies of the
kind gathered in Virginia for some
time. The membership consists of
1,54S delegates, most of whom will be
present. The convention will nomi-
nate Governor, Lieutenant Cover
nor, Attorney General, and adopt a
platform of principles upon which
the contest this year is to be waged,
1t is conceded that j, Hoge Tyler will
be nominated for Governor on the
first ballot and by an overwhelming
majority, His opponent will be State
Chairman j. Taylor Ellison.
The city is crowded tonight with
delegates and leading party men.
Among the latter are United States
Senators Daniel and Martin; the can
didates for Governor, Major Tyler
and MIR. Ellyson, and those for Lieu
tenant Governor and Attorney Gen
eral, and most of the congressional
delegation of the State.
At a meeting tonight of the State
Committee, Mr.. G.. D. Letcher, of
Lexington, was chosen temporary
chairman of the convention. The
other temporary officers are Col. John
Bell Bigger, secretary; J. s. McDer-
mott, seargeant-at-arms. The con.
vention will reatfirm the Chicago plat
form and make the free coinage of sill :
yer the overshadowing issue.
The most interesting feature of the
proceeding promises to be the attempt
to adopt primary plan for the nom-
ination of Democratic candidates for
the United States Senate in this
State. This proposition will be ad-
vocated by some of the most promi-
nent leaders 1t will, however, meet
with decided opposition in equally
prominent circles.

Warning to KIondykers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Secretary
Bliss has taken cognizance of the rush
to the Klondyke gold fields and Alas
ka and has issued the following warm
ing to the general public.
To whom it may concern:
In view of information received at
this department that three thousand
persons with two thousand tons of
baggage and freight are now waiting
at the entrance of White Pass, in
Alaska, for an opportunity to cross
the mountains to the Yukon river,
and that many more are preparing to
join them, l deem it proper to call
the attention of all who contemplate
making the trip to the exposure, pri
walton, suffering and danger incident
thereto at this advanced period of the
season, even if they should succeed
in crossing the mountains. To reach.
Dawson City, when over the pass,
seven hundred miles of difficult navi-
cation on the Yokon river, without ad-
equate means of transportation, will
still be before them and it it is doubt
full if the journey can be completed
before the river is closed by ice.
l lam moved to draw public notice
to these conditions by the gravity of
the possible consequences to people
detained in the mountainous wilder
ness during five or six mouths of an
arctic winter, where no relief can
reach them, however great the need,

Secretary of the Interior.

Conflict Between State and Federal Authority

Topeka, Kan, August o.-The long
threatened clash between the United
States courts and the authorities of
the state of Kansas came today when
Attorney General Boyle, acting under
the advice and with the concurrence of
the state department, took action in
the state courts in open defiance of the
federal authorities.
This action is the outcome of an in
junction issued on July 29th last by
United States District, Judge John A.
Williams, of Arkansas, at Colorado
Springs, Col, by which he positively
enjoined State Insurance Commits
sioner Webb McNeal and Attorney
General Coyle, of Kansas, from bring
ing any proceedings what ever under
the state laws to prevent the Mutual
Life Insurance Company from doing
business in Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle today went
before the state supreme court, bring
ing proceedings in quo warranto
against the Mutual Life Insurance
Company to compel that corporation to
appear before the state supren'e court
and show by what authority it is
transacting business in Kansas. If
he is arrested application will be made
to the federal supreme court for a writ
OF habeas corpus.

The Dead Premier.

MADRID, August 10.-The Queen
Regent has decreed that the military
honOrs observed in the case of the
funeral of a marshall shall be accord
ed the remains of the late Premier Of
Spain, Senor Canovas del Castillo,
who was shot and killed at Santa
Agueda on Sunday by an Anarchist,
Michile Angine Coli.
The body of the Spanish statesman
will arrive here on Wednesday morn
ing, accompanied by his widow, the
Minister for the Colonies, Senior Cos
Gayon, and the chief major domo,
the Duke of Sotomayor, representing
the Queen Regent. The interment
will take place in the Pantheon. Fu-
neral services will take place stimuli
taneously in all the churches through
out the country, and the official
mourning will last three days.
Senor CASTELAR,, the Republican
leader, in an interview is quoted as
saying he will not join any cabinet
unless it is Republican, adding that
Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader,
ought to be member of the cabinet
with the pledged support of the Con
servative.
A special funeral train awaited the
arrival of the cortege at Znmarraga.
Almost at the moment of the coffin
being taken from the funeral car to the
train foreigner was arrested at the
telegraph office. He is suspected of
being an accomplice of the assassin.
Next week Gen. Azcarraza, the new
president of the council, will go to
San Sebastian to consult the Queen
Regent.
President Mckinley has cabled to
the Spanish Government the condol-
ence of the United States Govern
ment and the American people.
1t is understood that General Mar
tinez Campos is willing to 60 to Cuba
should the Cabinet decide to recall
Captain General Weyler. There are
also rumors that General Pilaieja,
former Governor of the Philippines,
will he invited to succeed Weyler
But these are mere rumors, and thus
far there is no indication of abrupt
changes either in the administration
of Cuba or in the constitutinn of the
Cabinet. Senor Sagasta, Senor Moret
Y. Prendergast and Marshall Campos,
with other statesmen and generals,
favor the retention of the present
cabinet long enough to re-organize
and to concilliate the Conservative
groups.
The government has decided to try
the assassin by court-martial. He de-
family declares that other crimes will
follow. The police and government
detectives are acting with redoubled
vigilance. and the government is in
communication with foreign capitals
on the question of the surveillance of

Democratic Admission.

The crash came in 1893, when for a
time the great industries of the United
States came to a dead standstill. We
should probably have recovered in a
few months or a year but for politics.
The Journal, New York.
This is a wonderful admission for a
Democratic paper to make. 1t is true
that the great industries of the
United States came to a dead stand
still in 1893. 1t is also true that I'VE
should probably have recovered with
in a few months or a year but for poll
tics"-"the politics Of the Democratic
party, politics" that insisted upon
compelling the great industries Of the
United States to come Ito a dead
standstill' by promoting 1.-The great
Industries" of Europe. Had it not
been for these Democratic politics
there would have been nc check to u
prosperity of 1892, no subsequent
crash, and no need for a recovery.
