REWARD FOR LYNCHERS.
Murderers of Negro Postmaster to Be
Prosecuted by Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The postmaster
general has offered a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the persons who
burned the postoffice at Lake City, S. c.,
on Monday night, and reward OF $500 for
the arrest and conviction of the persons
who murdered Baker, the negro postmaster,
at the same time. General Gary has issued
an order to discontinue the office at Lake
City from this time. Information of the
murder of the negro postmaster and the
burning of his Office came to the Postofhce
Department to-day in dispatch from In
spector Williams, in charge of the district,
who has headquarters at Chattanooga The
latter's telegram was very brief, and merely
told of the killing of the man and the burn
ing of the office. He will send inspector
to the scene of the tragedy at once to in
vestigate and make a full report of the case
to the department. Baker, who is said to
have been respectable colored man, and
who had previously taught school, was ap-
pointed to the office in July last 1t is said
at the department that he was man of
quiet unobtrusive habits, and had filled the
position a short while only before threats
of personal danger were made against him.
There was no place in the city to be had
for keeping the postoffice, and it was re-
moved to the schoolhouse in the suburbs.
The citizens boycotted the office with some
degree Of success. No serious complaints
had been received concerning the condition
of affairs very recently, and 1t was hoped
that the prejudice against the postmaster
had died down.
Washington mail intended for Lake City
will hereafter be sent to Scranton, the
nearest Iostoffice where it can be called for
by the people of the former place.

Daughters of the American Revolution was
taken up with business incidental to the re-
pert of the Continental Hall committee
made by Mrs. H. NJ Shepherd of Chicago
1t is proposed that the hall be erected in
Washington and be used for the display Of
the large number of revolutionary relics
that Will come into the possession of the
society, and for the annual gathering of the
congress. Congressional aid is to be sought
in providing a site for the building. 1t was
determined to give 5000 out of the general
fund OF the society TO that already on hand
for the project, and individual contribu-
tions were promised sufficient to make the
grand total to date of the continental hall
fund about $4,000. Among the donations to
the hall fund were $500 by Chicago Chapter

ported the recent gift of a Mayfiower chest

stitution. The report recommended the
yearly appropriation of $50 for the purchase
of relics. FrateTnal greetings were re-
ceived from number of societies. A motion

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS.
Third international Convention At
tended by a Throng of People.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 23.-There are
1900 student delegates and 500 missionaries,
professors and representatives of mission
ary societies in attendance at the third in~
ternational convention of the student vol
unteer movement There was more or less
confusion to-day as to the programme and
the accommodation of the delegates, but by
tomorrow these troubles will be over. Ow-
ing to the fact that Music Hall was burned
short time ago. there is no suitable audi
torium in the city large enough to accom-
modate all who wish to attend the conven-
ton. A number were not able to gain ad-
mittance to-day to the Cleveland Gray's
armory, where the general opening meet
Ing was held. The armory was profusely
decorated. Tomorrow and thereafter si-
multaneous meetings will be held in several
halls and churches near the armory. Among
the many distinguished people attending the
convention are Bishop NJ. L. Baldwin, of
Huron; Dr. Edmund Buckley, of Chicago;
Rev. Dr. D. j. Burrell, of New York; Rev.
DR.. Francis E. Clark, of the Society of
Christian Endeavor; Bishop L. H. Dudley,
OF Kentucky; Rev. DR.. J. T. Gracey, presi-
dent of the international Missionary Union;
President Charles c. Hall. of New York;
Bishop W. A. Leonard, of Ohio Bishop N.
x. Ninde, of the Epworth League, and 9TH
erS equally as prominent, besides mission
aries from every quarter of the globe.
NO business was transacted at the open
ing session to-day. AT to-nights meeting
there was an immense crowd, fully two
hundred people having been turned away
from the doors. The $500 present listened
to the religious exercises that preceded the
elaborate address of welcome delivered by
Bishop Leonard, of Cleveland. j. r. Steven
son. a member of the executive committee
who comes from the Mccormick Theological
School, responded to the welcome. The
Iowa quartet was one of the features of
the meetings, its reditions having been well
received The principal address was made
by Rev. DR.. p. j. BurreH of New York,
who discussed the differences between the
Christian and the nOnchristian religions, and
said that the latter was not sufficient to
save the world. In the nonchristan re-
ligions the speaker could see only despair
and gloom. John r. Mott was the presid-
ing officer at this meeting.
The meeting at the Euclid-avenue Bap-
tist Church vas in some respects an over
flow gathering. Luther d. Wishart, a lay
man, presided. There was an address by
DR.. Grace N. Kimball, an Armenian mis-
sionary, who talked about the horrors of
that land and the Turkish massacres, and

M. LABORIE'S SPEECH.
An Eloquent Appeal to the Jury That
Was Not Needed

PARIS, Feb. 23.-When court convened
this morning NJ. Laborie resumed his ar
gument in behalf of M. Zola. Referring to
the bordereau, counsel maintained that it
was written by Major Esterhazy, and said
that the presentation of several secret doc
uments at the court-martial fully estab-
lished this. Recalling Premier Melines re-
fusal to discuss the subject when M.
Jaures, the Socialist leader, interpellated
the government on the subject in the

SCANDAL AND TRAGEDY.
DIR. HartxelI Shoots w. X. Elliott and
Is Wounded Himself.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 2S.-A bloody
tragedy was enacted here to-day, the prin-
cpals to the affray being Dr. j. III. Hartzell,
physician of some prominence, and Will
liam K. Elliott. The tragedy grew out of
family affairs, in which Mrs. Hartzell was
involved and which, it is alleged, led TO
that womans suicide about month ago.
DR. Hartzell fired three shots at Elliott
when only five feet away. Two of the bull
let's took effect-one in the abdomen and
one in the chest. Elliott sprang upon
Hartzell, and, wrestling the revolver from
the physicians hand, turned it upon him
and fired two shots, one of them striking
Hartzell in the cheek. Physicians pro-
nounce both men mortally wounded and
their death is hourly expected. According
to the statement of witnesses. Elliott made
improper advances to Mrs. Hartzell during
the doctors absence, sorae time ago. and
a tragedy was narrowly averted at that
time. The Hartzells finally separated and
later Mrs. Hartzell committed suicide on
account of her trouble

A DAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
Advices Received by the Navy Depart
ment-Lefters from Officers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-The arrival of
mail in Washington from Key West this
afternoon bringing several private letters
from naval officers lately attached to the
Maine caused a wave of excitement to run
over the departments and the Capitol for
there were all sorts of rumors as to the
contents of these letters, very few Of which
rumorS, in point of fact had any sound
basis. The only feature so far as could be
discovered of real Importance as throwing
any light on the cause of the explosion con-
tanned in the letters was the statement that
the two after boilers in the after-boiler space
were all Of the eight boilers of the Maine
that were under steam at the time of the
explosion This fact had a negative value,
for it disposed at once of the theory that
ain exploding boiler had caused the wreck
The experts all say that by no possibility
could the after boilers explosion have
wrecked the fore part of the Maine and
left the after part almost unharmed.
Much interest was shown in a dispatch
received shortly before o'clock from Ad-
miral Sicard giving the recommendations
of Captain Sampson, of the court of inquiry.
as to the raising of the wreck. The view
of naval officers was that Captain Samp-
son and his associates were giving this ad-
vice, not as a court, but as officers in a
position to speak as to the best methods to
be adopted for wrecking the Maine.
Various interpretations were put on the ex-
preston forward half apparently de-
stroyed. This was regarded as a partial
confirmation of the theory that the forward
magazine had exploded, as that is one of the
most important portions of the forward half
of the ship. At the same time IT was held
by some naval authorities that the destruc-
tion Of the forward half of the ship did not
necessarily mean that the forward maga-
zine had exploded, as this might be still
intact, although a part of the general
wreckage. In the absence of an explicit
statement as 10 the forward magazine there
was a disposition not to accept any implied
statement as TO its destruction

RESULT OF A VALENTINE.
Alleged Insult That Caused the Death
of Two Brothers.

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 2s.-Near Reagan in
Falls county, yesterday evening Jesse Kel-
ly shot and killed II. N. and L. B. Dewalt,
brothers. Kelly then rode to Martin the
county seat and surrendered to the sheriff
The tragedy, 1t is said, was the result of an
offensive valentine received by a sister of
the Dewalt boys and which they accused
Kelly of having sent, although he is mar
ried. Kelly admits the killing, but denies
sending the valentine. He says that he had
been told that the Dewalts had threatened
TO kill him, and shot them in self-defense.
Kelly and the Dewalts were well-tc-do
farmers, and both families have strong
friends, who are likely to become involved
