At Fayetteville, W. Va, Friday, five
thousand people assembled to witness
the execution of Clark Lewis, the con-
fessed murderer of eight people. The
hanging WAS public. and attracted the
country people from far and near. At
2 O'Clock Sheriff McVey sprung the
trap, and the negro murderer was hurl-
ed into eternity. The scaffold was
erected for the triple hanging, and
many OF the people assembled expect
ed that Wars and Brown would also
hang. Only the respite of Gov ernor
Atkinson saved the two, who are
known to have killed eight people.
The crowd was greatly incensed at the
interference OF the Governor.

The TariH RiII

Washington, June 2S.-The senate
today completed the wool, the silk and
the tobacco schedules of the tariff bill.
and, with this accomplished, the tariff
leaders had the satisfaction of knowing
that all the schedules of the bill and
the free list had been gone over once.
There now remains only to 90 through
the bill second time, passing on the
items passed over. These are very nu
merous and important including hides,
gloves, coal, tea and co.. After that,
the internal revenue features will be
all that remains. Progress was rapid
today, although every paragraph relat-
ing to carpets was stubbornly contested.
The consideration of the silk schedule
le'i to strong contest against the pro-
posed duties on silk fabrics. Senators
Teller and Mantle joined with the
Democrats in opposition. The para
graph was passed by a majority OF two.
The tobacco schedule went through
with little friction, after the committee
had advanced the duty slightly on
wrapper and leaf tobacco.

shooting affray took place today on the
place of W. X. Coburn, was killed IA
miles from here, W. II. Coburn was
killed and Deputy Sheriff Storey was

from Jail at Lockport year ago. 1t

hiding at his fathers place, and posse
was formed to capture him, but the
father appeared on the scene, and was
about to shoot Parsons, when two OF
the posse fired at him. Young Coburn
then used his gun on Storey, who will
die. Young Coburn escaped in the con-
fusion which followed, but his capture
is only matter of few hours.

preliminary hearing before the judge.
Miss Wilson deposed that she had met
the man in the afternoon: that he had
seen the satchel which they carried
from the bank, slowed away under
the buggy seat. She then narrated
her struggle with the intruder and his
final arrest by neighbOr and her
aunt's gardener. The latter corrobo-
rated her statement The prisoner
firmly declared his innocence, even in
the face of these grave charges. He
denied having struggled with the
young lady in her aunts room, and
said that he had sought shelter in Miss
Magrudcrs woodshed for the night.
When he heard Miss Wilson's cries for
help. he thought fire had broken out,
and rushed from the shed to aid in
suppressing it.
Without word Nora Wilson point
ed to the prisoners right hand, which
was bandaged with a dirty rag. The
judge understood her meaning and
asked the tramp how he had injured
his hand.
His answer was that he had cut
himself with an AK, as he cleared the
place in the dark to find comfortable
spot to lie down in.
His statement was not credited, and
he was remanded to Jail.
An hour later Nora and her betrOth-
ed were on the way to the bank They
had with them the satchel Of gold,
ready to again entrust 1t to the custody
of the bank cashier.
Good morning, Mr. Holt" said the
girl. Here is the money! You were
right, some one did try to rob us last
night"
close to the cashiers window to receive
the money.
A penetrating Odor Of chloroform
was noticeable. 1t came from the
clothes of the cashier.

and nervous from her terrible expe-
rence of the night.

lead her to yonder couch. She Is not
well. A little rest will soon restore
her"
Holt was not inclined to grant the
request to admit the two young people
to the back room without opposition.
ITS against the rules Of the bank"
he remarked stubbornly.
James Cliff paid no attention to him,
but pushed the door open and led the
young girl to the leather sofa In the
bank room. Nora was far from faint

afternoon in front of the bank.
Take him to prison." comma nded
Miss Wilson. "My aunt and will lodge
complaint against him in the morn
ing"
While the two men carried off their
prisoner, Nora hurried to her aunt's
room. BY this time the effect of the
chloroform had disappeared, and Miss
Magruder was acquainted with the
events of the night. The little satchel
with its precious contents was moved
a considerable distance from where it
had originally been placed, and the
spinster admitted that the cashier was
right after all in admOnishing her as
he did. TO relieve herself from fur

Considerable activity has been noted

VINO believe in higher prices for spot
wheat during the next 80 days. There
has been little doing in other options,
although September wheat has gained
two cents. The news has been some-
what conflicting in many respects, re-
ports of harvesting from the Southwest
tending to somewhat dishearten hold
ers, While the news in other respects
was bullish in tone, and indicated a
good demand for cash wheat. Receipts
have fallen off sharply in the North
west, and everything indicates that

crop news has been bullish in tone.
European advices confirming the re-
ported damage to the Roumanian and

tions of India have improved but little.
Russian reports continue to speak of
damage to wheat in certain sections,
while in France there has been only a
slight improvement. Exports have
shown moderate decrease under those

trolled by few professionals who are
scalping for small profits. While the
present dizziness lasts, we hardly look

getting so low that the short side is

situation.

the government was aware that pro-
