Even before they had reached there the
mob, exuiting, was storming the Jail The
Sheriff saw that resistance was useless.
The local mllitiamen were sick at heart
from the blood that had been shed during
the night.
1t was an easy victory for the crowds.
They broke into the jail, swarmed up the
stairs smashed the cell door, where
Mitchell was confined, and dragged the
trembling wretch out into the light of
day by rope about his neck. Cursed,
beaten, kicked, with his clothes half torn
from his body by the frantic mob, the
negro fought with the desperation of u
madman. With the rope still tight
about his neck, he struggled so fiercely
that no less than seven went down before
his blows.
The negro, insensible brute though he
was, must have Ionged for instant death
many times in that passage from Jail to
the courtyard tree. 1t was worse than an
old Indian gauntlet-running, for there
was sure death at the end, without even
the shadow of a chance the red men gave
their victims.
He was dragged between solid rows OF

MAY RECALL WEYLER.

In That Event General Campos
Would Again Become Captain
General of Cuba.
MADRID, SPAIN, June 4.-Tnere is great
an xiety among all classes to learn the re-
suit of the Queen Regents long interview
with General Campos to-day. It is hoped
his known opposition of coercion will
prevail and that Weyler will be recalled.
This step would be among the first Sagasta
would take if appointed Prime Minister.
Conservatives could remain in Office if
he recalled Weyier, in which case Cam
pos would pobably consent to replace him
as Captain-General. After the conference
with the Queen the Presidents of the Sem
ate ana Chamber of Deputies advised her
to retain Premier Canovas.

PLANS FOR A RESERVOIR.


From the Mayer and
water WORKS Conmittse.
The city council held . brief ses-
sion after inspecting the fire depart
ment last night. and heard an inter-
esting report from the committee
which recently returned from q tour
of inspection Of reservoirs, and
which is given in full in the official
proceedings on another page.
The committee recommends tn At
Rock Island construct reservoir Of
three compartments on the bluff and
remove the filtering plant now at the
water works to the reservoir site.
The committee contends that it is
much cheaper to settle the water by
means of the reservoir than to es.
tablish a complete filter plant, and ut
the same time maintain Q reserve
supply. The report was ordered
filed and the mayor and water works
committee were authorized to EN-.
ploy q competent engineer to draw
plans and specifications in accord.
ance with the recommendations for
submission to the council.
The next move will be for the city
to acquire adesirable site. A start al
least will be made on the reservoir
this season, if matters are carried
on as rapidly as the council hopes.

Contractors Said to Have Ignored Their
agreement Made With the Men.


New York. June PA large number
of contractors who had entered into
settlement with the Brotherhood of
Tailors last week have, according to
members prominent in the Clothing
Contractors association. ignored the
new agreement, closed their shops and
turned their employees adrift The
number Of contractors who are said to
have thus acted Is set down at 400, EN-
ploying between 1000 and l500 opera
tors.
Leader Schoenfeld characterized the
statement as a lie made out OF whole
cloth. In the face of this denial a huge
force of idle tailors was found congre-
gated at the tailors' headquarters.
Many of them said they had been locked
out and made no concealment Of the
fear entertained by them that they were
face to face with another period Of idle
ness.
Leader Schoenfeld had decided TO hold
forth the next two weeks at the head
quarters of the United Brotherhood of
Tailors. He intended to relinquish his
charge Of the tailors on Saturday. but
for some unknown reason has decided
10 remain at his post until the middle
Of July.
Instructions have been given to all
idle tailors by Schcenfeld not TO work
under any condition for contractors
who had yielded TO the demands.
If the threat of the contractors is car
red out, over 10000 tailors viii be lock-
ed out before the middle Of the present
/ week.

A BAND o. oouNTEafElTeRs..
Believed 60 Have Been Broken Up by "a
Z Little Rock Arrest

Little Rock. June 2s.-Deputy United
States marshals attached 10 the Fort
Smith court have captures three men
whose arrest, it Is believed, has effect
uaily broken up the once famous band
Of counterfeiters known 10 secret serV-
ice operators all over the United States
as the Bullfrog valley gang. The gang
was one Of the most dangerous or
ganizatlons Of counterfeiters that has
operated In the United States In recent
years. Their headquarters mint was
situated in Pope county. Ark. The gang
had branches for the purpose OF float-
Ing their bogus money in nearly all the
principal cities In the country and even
so the secret service men say, In To-
ronto and the City Of Mexico.
Some of the most noted counterfeit
ers and confidence men In the country
were It's members and agents. At the
last term Of the federal court held In
this city eight indictments We're re-
turned against members of the band,
These parties are now I'm custody await
ing trial. Several other members OF the
gang have been convicted for passing
counterfeit money in various cities and
are now serving terms Of imprisonment.
At secret service headquarters In Lit
tie Rock has been received information
from Fort Smith that officers of that
district have succeeded In capturing
three more members Of the gang. IL Is
the opinion of the officers that the cap
ture Of these men effectually wipes out
the gang
The work of locating the headquar-
ters of the Bullfrog valley counter
feiters is considered one Of the best
pieces of detective work accomplished
by the secret service operators in the
past decade The members of the gane
sought a remote spot in the fastnesses
in the mountains OF Pope county and
settled there as rough mountaineers.
They dressed like the natives and
adapted themselves TO their customs &c
such a degree that the residents OF tho
county paid no attention to them, sup
posing the men TO be honest mountain
eers.
The money was manufactured In th'
moutain mint and shipped TO agents II
all parts of the country TO be noated
! All efforts on the part OF the officers e
locate the mint were bafiled FOR n lonl
time. Detectives in Chicago discovers,
that counterfeiting materials were be
ing shipped from that city. and by
fine piece Of work they traced the ship
'ments to the Pope county mint OF tn

American Bicycles In Germany.

Washington, June 2s.-Charles de
Kay. United States consul general at
Berlin. in a report to the state depart
ment calls attention to the fact that
German bicycle makers are deeply con-
cerned at the now very large and grow
ing competition Of American machines.
The League of Industrials at Bochum,
an important manufacturing center, has
taken up the matter, and in memorial
to the German government calls atten-
tion to the fact that this great industry
is IN imminent peril owing to the ri
valry of American bicycle manufactur-
ers.
They complain that the United States
levies a duty on foreign made wheels of
about S142S while the German duty, be-
ing only S5.1 on 100 kilograms. only
from Il to % cents duty falls on the
American wheel. on these and other
grounds the aid of the German govern
ment is asked in behalf Of the home in
dustry.
The consul general in his report says
Il is not because the American wheels
are Of foreign make that they sell so
rapidly in Germany, but because they
are the strongest lightest, soundest and
most elegant in shape. They have quite
taken the field. he says, from Belgian,
Austrian and British wheels. He also
expresses the opinion that large con-
cessions could be made with safety to
the Germans in the way of lower duties
on German made wheels, because the
German public is now so well convinced
of the superiority of the American
wheels that We viii continue to hold
the market so long as this high stand
ard is maintained.
Consul Monaghan. at Chemitz Saxo-
ny, in a report to the state department,
also calls attention to the effort that is
being made by German bicycle makers
in that province to secure higher rates
on American wheels. To this end, the
bund of German industries have petl-
toned the foreign Office on the subject
asking for immediate relief from the
threatened danger.
