He Def1es Tammany and Stands by
Bryan.

New York. May 26.-War on John C.
Sheehan, formerly chief of Tammany
Hall, has been renewed. Sheehan's
friends charge that there is a plot to
deprive him of the leadership of the
Ninth district and install ThOs. F.
Smith, the present Tammany chieftain's
secretary, in his place. AS a year ago,
so today, George w. Gibbons and J. l..
Russell are leading the onslaught upon
Sheehan. Gibbons, in an interview to-
day, said:
Mr. Sheehan is not in sympathy
with the Tammany Hall organization
or it's leader. He will either have to re-
sign or risk a big licking at the coming
primaries
Mr.. Sheehan, when seen last night,
gave out this statement:
Il am not looking for fight, but if
it comes L shall welcome it. The peO-
pie of the Ninth district mind their own
business and do not NEEDLE with that
of others. They will resent dictation
from any quarter.
Il have no apology to make for my
support of Col. Bryan and the Chicago
platform in 1896. 1 am for Col. Bryan
for 1900, and any platform the national
convention may adopt. I shall do all I
can to bring about Col. Bryan's nomi-
nation, and fight these fellows here in
New York, if they want it very badly

TO USE COMPRESSED AIR.

Washington, May 26.-Washington
scientists predict that compressed air
is going to be the motive power for
gasoline or any other method. and there
are already several patents pending
which apply compressed air to wagons,
buggieS, carriages, cabs, bicycles and
other vehicles, as well as street cars.
prominent western manufacturing
concern has designed a simple, mex
penSiVe and apparently effective method
of moving a vehicle by means of tank
of compressed air concealed under the
seat, and promises to supply the attach
ment to any vehicle al a cost not great
than so. 1t does not propose to man
ufacture the vehicles themselves, but is
getting ready to furnish the tanks and
the necessary apparatus to carriage
and wagon builders at a cost not great
er than the sum named 1t is SO ar
ranged that it can be applied to any
vehicle at a Slight expense.
The tank of compressed air can be
taken out and reflled or another SUBJ
stitute in two or three minutes, and it
is proposed to furnish tanks, filled with
compressed air, by express or through
bicycle dealers, carriage dealers or or
binary grocers. Pumping stations will
be established at convenient intervals.
al which empty tanks can be exchanged
or reflled, and for an emergencya pump
will be attached to every vehicle, as a
wrench is now, which in a few moments
will furnish enough compressed air to
carry the vehicle three or four miles
to the nearest pumping or tank station.
The ordinary tank will contain Suffi-
cient force to carry it fifty miles.

WHITE MEN HANGED
Three of Them Found Suspend

For Aiding a Murderer to Es-
cape the Law.

Houston, Tex, May 26.-Three white
men, James Humphreys and his two
sons were lynched last night near the
village of Alley, in Henderson county,
remote neighborhood devoid of tele-
graph. telephone or railway connections
and about 10 miles southwest of Dial
las. The Humphreys were farmers
Several months ago Constable Melton,
of the Alley precinct, was murdered by
a man who had committed a crime and
whom he was attempting to arrest The
people searched the country thoroughly
but failed to apprehend the murderer.
The Humphreys were known to have
been on friendly terms with the fugi-
tive and were suspected of having aided
him to escape. A few days ago the
murderer of Melton was seen in the
nighbOrhoOd and arrangements to eff
feet his capture was made. The
Humphreys became aware of this and
are accused of having harbOred the
murderer and of assisting him in max
ing his second escape. This enraged the
people and the lynching Of the Humph-
reys was decided upon.
Last night mob of 10 masked men
appeared at the Humphreys homestead
and called the father and the two sons
out They Informed the women of the
family in a spirit of charity that the
men were to be taken to Malakoff, a
few miles distant, before a justice of
the peace and perhaps to the county
Jail at Athens. When morning arrived
the women sent a courier to MalakOn
to learn what had been done with the
men. The messengers were told that
the Humphreys had not been brought
there The women then gave the alarm
and a searching party was quickly or
ganized, the timbers in the vicinity be
ing searched. a party of searchers
came upon the bodies of the three men
hanging from a limb of a large oak
tree, about three miles from the
Humphreys farm. How the men met
their fate whether they made confess
sions, or other details of the execution
are not know. The sheriff of Hender-
son county, when informed of what had
taken place, began preparations to fer
ret out members of the mob, but it is
not believed he will succeed, unless the
Humphreys women were able to iden-
tify some of them when the men were
taken away to their death.
