LYNCHED HIM.
Arch Baur Hung il Kentucky for
Rare and Attempted Murder.

Tompkinsville, KY. October o.
News has reached here of the lynching
of Arch Baur, colored, who committed
an assault ON and attempted to murder
Annie Morrison, Oldest daughter of
Henry Morrison, prominent farmer
of Cumberland county.
The crime was committed at the Nor
rison home yesterday afternoon about
8 o'clock. The members If the Morri
son household were visiting in the
neighborhood, except the oldest daugh-
ter. who remained at home to care for
the house. Baur, unnoticed went di
rect to Morrison's home Miss Morri
son screamed for help when he en-
tered, but no one was near enough to
hear her, though the house was close
to one of the most frequented roads.
She fought the fiend with despera
ton, but the negro drew a piece Of
sharp iron, striking her two or three
blows on the head and infiicting
wounds that may prove fatal. He fed,
believing his victim dead.
When the neighbors learned Of the
horrible affair they formed a mob and
pursued the negro with bloodhounds.
They trailed him to a small cabin with
in five miles Of where the crime was
committed. The door was quickly
broken down. The negro, hearing the
noise. tried to make his escape through
a window. but failed.
When they entered he begged for
mercy, but a noosed rope was quickly
thrown over his head and about his
neck, and he was dragged. more dead
than alive. to the woods, where the
rope was tossed over the limb Of a
tree and he was hauled into the air
and the life remaining soon passed out
of his body.
The lynchers left the BODY and dis
appeared. Eight bullet holes were
found in the body this morning The
remains were buried by the relatives OF
the dead man

Spanish Commissioners Still Urging
Acceptance of Compromise on the
Cuban Debt.

Paris, October 22.-The United
States peace commission held two sit
tings to-day to consider the voluminous
communication presented yesterday by
the Spanish commissioners.
This new proposition of the Span
iards looks to a compromise between
the refusal of the Americans to assume
any of the Cuban debt, and the Span
ish holding that the United States
should assume it wholly.
The terms of yesterdays proposal are
obviously unknown save to the COM
missioners. The American commits
sioners will reply to the communica-
ton at Mondays joint session, and an
extended argument will then follow
and will carry the matter possibly over
to another meeting.
LIE Temps, this evening, deals edl-
torially with the work OF the Spanish
and American peace commissions, re-
marking at the outset that little prog
ress has been made thus for in the ne
gotiations. Both sides, the paper says,
have the best intentions. No Spaniard
desires a renewal of hostilities. and no
American has the purpose to crush the
vanquished adversary.
LIE Temps then cites the method of
written interchanges between the COM
missions as a cause of the slow progress
and says it is very evident that such
procedure has been adopted to retard
and complicate the progress of the ne
gotiations. such system of monolo-
CUES instead of dialogues requiring il
limitable time, labor and good humor.
1t should be parenthetically stated
that, though cOntra-allegations have
been made, the plan of written inter-
change had it's birth in the Spanish
commission, the Americans having
been more disposed to free hand dis
cussion to the end Of more speedily
arriving at conclusions.
On this point LIE Temps is clearly
misinformed when it affirms that the
Spaniards would have been glad to SIM
plify the procedure and that Senior
Abarzuza, of the Spanish commission,
attempted a free discussion instead of
long writings, but was not listened to.
This last statement is also misinfor-
nation, as all utterances on both sides
are received with due attention.
LIE Temps, continuing, remarks that
the present cumbersome methods en-
ployed here mark return of the inter-
minable congress of Munster, which,
after eight years, produced the treaty
of Westphalia, and lie Tempts regards
as very curious the fact that the
modern republic OF the United States
has assisted in that species of archaeo-
logical resurrection.
The paper then recites lengthily the
Spanish contention regarding the Gu
ban debt in terms so exact as to indi-
cate the Spaniards as the source of IN
formation, thus:
Spain claims that there cannot be
an interregnum of sovereignty, that
from the moment Spain abandons
Cuba it passes ipso facto and neces-
sarily to the United States, and that
the United States cannot repudiate
either its prerogative or its obliga-
ton
LIE Temps closes with defense of
the choice of Paris as the place for

special TO the Register.
Huntington, w. Va. October 22.-The
trial of Cap" Hatfield, the notorious
outlaw of Logan county, on the charge
of murder was begun in Logan circuit
court to-day. Hatfield's attorneys plead
ed long for continuance, but this was
refused by Judge Doolittle, as the case
has been on the docket now almost two
years.
Troy and Elias Hatfield, brothers of
Cap, are indicted jointly with him in
the crime. The trial will more than
likely consume the greater part of next
week, as there are fifty or more wit
nesses in each side to be examined.
1t is hardly probable that any more
trouble will occur at Logan during the
trial as everything now has quieted
down.
William Huff, town marshal of Logan
and Wat. Henderson, the deputy sher-
if, who were shot by Charles Stratton
during the early part of the week. are
living, but their condition is critical.
Henderson's father is sheriff of Logan
county, and although feeling was very
bitter against Stratton at the time of
the occurrence, no outbreak is now
feared.

WASHINGTON, October 22-During a

OBrien Moore told a number of anec-
dotes about his efforts to maintain discip-

friends here have long been aware of the
sincerity of his efforts to bring his regi-

When he was here Col. Moore told OF a
complaint from one of his mountaineer
privates about the beef. This particular
mountaineer had not been in the habit OF
receiving fresh meat at home, and be-
cause the beef happened TO be a little
tough, he encouraged a mutinS on a small
