CABINET LADIES SUBMIT.
They Will Hold Their Wedn esday At
ternoon Receptions.

Washington. Dec. s.-The ladies of
the cabinet held meeting recently to
determine whether they should aban-
don Wednesday as cabinet reception
day on account of its selection as re-
ception day at the White House. They
decided to make no change, and the
first formal abinet reception will be on
the Wednesday afternoon from to 5
O'Clock, following the New Years re
ception at the White House.
In the evening the first card reception
will be held at the White House. Should
the cabinet ladies find their strength
unequal to both receptions they will
hold their cabinet receptions on alter
nate weeks.
The imminence of the death of the
presidents mother leaves the White
House social functions in doubt When
the late Mrs. Harrison's mother died
at the beginning of the session Mrs
Harrison left off her mourning shortly
on the ground that a private grief
should not be allowed to usurp the gen
eral right of the public to customary
official receptions at the White House
Mrs Harrison s own death was of
course, a very different matter and the
White House was closed to social func-
tiOnS.

And Hanged to a Cottonwood
Tree in Presence Of
OFFICERS OF THE AW
Tragic Fate of a Murderer !
Nevada.
Body Shot Full of Holes While
Hanging.

Carson, New, Dec. 8.-One of the most
horrible lynchings ever known in Neva-
da has taken place at Genoa, IA miles
from here.
Adam Uber, who last week shot and
killed Hans Anderson in a NIillerville
saloon, was hanged by a mob of mask
ed men to a cottonwood tree, half a
mile distant from the jail. When taken
from his cell, the victim had nothing on
but a shirt. This was torn off by the
lynchers and the nude body left dang
ling in the air for six hours. AS the
body was being pulled up the mob rid
died it with bullets. When satisfied
that the man was dead, the vigilantes
dispersed and returned to their
homes.
At 2 o'clock this morning the leader
of the mob presented himself at a side
window of the county Jail. and calling
to Sheriff Brockliss, stated that the
GardnerVille constable had arrived with
a prisoner he wished to have locked up.
The sheriff was some time in respond
ing, and the mob, impatient a the de-
lay, battered down the door of the re
corder's office with sledge hammers
captured the sheriff and the cOnsta BILE
and placed them under guard. The
prisoner was then awakened. He
fought with a chair but was soon over
powered. He cried for mercy, but was
s1enced with gag, and after being
bound was dragged to the streets, out
of the city to a place half a mile dis
tant where the crowd halted. The
sheriff and constable were forced to ac-
company the mob and still under a
strong guard, watched the execution.
The prisoner was in a fair way of re-
ceiving trial and punishment for the
crime he committed. The preliminary
examination was held last week and
the grand jury had found indict-
ment. A number of witnesses would
have been brought forward to prove
that Uber had been assaulted by An
derson before the shooting. Uber has
a millionaire uncle, Henry Robson. in
Pittsburg, Pa, and it is thought that
the perpetrators of the affair may be
brought to Justice.

POMEROY's BIG TUNNEL
About to be Revived by a Big Eastern
Company,

Denver, Dec. S-A new company of
eastern capitalists is about to revive the
Atlantic and Pacific tunnel, Brick Pom
erOy's old enterprise. which proposes to
cut, the main range beyond Silver
Plume. The projected bore will be
large enough for railway purposes.
About 1884, when Pomeroy lived in
this city, the Atlantic and Pacific tun-
mel was extensively advertised. and
subscriptions to the stock poured in
from all parts of the country so rapidly
in fact as to clog business in the post
office here. The eastern mouth of the
tunnel is near Gray's peak, Clear Creek
county. The western mouth is above
MOntezuma, Summit county near the
head waters of the Snake river Con-
siderable work has been done at both
ends of the tunnel, and several ore
veins cut. some of which have returned
rich assays.

AN ARISTOCRATIC CON MAN
London's Swell Society Humiliated by
the Exposure of Lord Will
liam Neville.

London, Dec. S.-LOndon's highest So
ciety is Inundated by the dispicable
story of Lord William Neville's frauds.
Neville is the third son of the Marquis
of Abergavenny, a descendant of War
wick, the king-maker, and noted as the
prOudest member of the aristocracy.
The Abergavenny family plume them
selves on being something Ioftier than
royalty, and they quarter the royal
arms on their escutcheOn.
Lord William Neville was in the MARI
borough house set, and his efforts to
keep up with the lavish eXtravagances
of that luxurious cOterie landed him in
financial straits. which becoming
more and more desperate, drove him
to the fraudulent devices which have
proved his ruin.
Spencer Clay was only one of his vic
TINS and society gossip says he got in
all $5OO0 by similar methods from
other dupes. Were he less influential
" connected he would be pursued and
prosecuted; but as it is, he is living in
security with some of his wife's rela-
tiYes in Spain.
Samuel Lewis, the money lender has
passed every spendthrift aristocrat IN
England through his hands during the
past quarter of a century He charges
his 40 per cent because, he says he
takes big risks; but he has the reputa-
tion of acting fairly, and, sometimes,
even generously.

New York Dec. S.-Henry Haupt IA

street, was captured yesterday morn
ing by Mrs. Mary e. Alger, a truant
officer. Mrs. Alger found him with sew
eraI other boys, all smoking cigarettes.
The woman made dive right in among

kicking and struggling.
She took the boy to his fathers house,
and for a long time was puzzled to find
a way of keeping him in the house
against his will. At length Mrs Alger
decided upon a desperate remedy. She
took the boy to his room, removed eve
ry bit of clothing there was in the
room, and then stripped Haupt to the
skin and left him there until his father
returned.
All then went to court, where Magis-
trate Flammer committed the boy to
the truancy school. Once before he ran
away and lived a week on the roofs be-

THE WEEKS TRADE.
Encouraging Report Made by Dun &
Co.-Steel Rail Market

New York, February ls.-R G. Dun
& Company's Weekly Review Of Trade
tomorrow will say:
A large increase in the iron and steel
business. on account Of sales, covering
eight to twelve months production Of
largest works, a better demand for
woolen goOds and a slightly better de-
mand for cottons again. better de-
mand. which may prove lasting, in
boots and shoes; slightly better prices
for wheat. cotton. wool and iron, and
a money market well adapted 70 en-
courage liberal purchases against fu-
ture improvement in business, have
rendered the past week more cheerful
than any since early in November. The
heavy excess Of merchandise exports
over imports in January. the continu-
ance OF exchange rates showing that
Europe is still largely indebted to this
oc,lntry on current account, and the
prospect that congress win adjourn
without any disturbing action, all have
their favorable influence on the money
market and upon future undertakings.
In nearly every branch the great iron
and steel industry feeis the upward
impulse supplied by the purchases OF
steel rails, said to be half a million tons
each from the Illinois Steel Co and
from the Carnegie Co. besides some
from other companies, in part as low
as SIS per ton. About 100000 have
been sold to foreign purchasers at SlT
and SIS. but all recent sales have been
made at $40 at Eastern and S2l at
Western mills Nearly all the great
railroads Of the country have seized
the opportunity to supply themselves
with rails for one or two years re-
quirements.
The failures this week were SO5 in the
United States against $50 last year and
5S in Canada against sc last year.

to the life and limb of a large number
of women and children who are forced
to travel this street each day. The
