Surrounded by q mob in the swamp he escaped and was subse- quently captured in the neighbOring parish of Iberia and confined in the parish jail. As threats had been made of lyrching Guidry, Judge Allen in terfered to prevent this and assured the people from the bench that the prisoner would be dealt with as the law provided, and that there would be no unnecessary delay in bringing the prisoner to trial.
 AS result all ideas of lynching were abandoned and 'lhe judge was strongly supported in the position he took McHugh. however, got into the jail by q trick, and mOrtally shot Guirdy. who was confined in the steel ca ge used for murderers. McHugh was at once arrested and is now locked up in jail. A very bitter feeling pre- -vafls against him for his murderous act;ion after the authorities had sue ceeded in preventing lynching and he is likely to be punished severely for the mnrder.

SPREADING TELEPHONES
The System to Be Extended fo Tue
 son and Elsewhere.

Work will begin immediately on : | long-disiance telephone line connect
 ing Phoenix and Tucson. This will bt | the result of a conference at Tucson between C. W. Hichcliffe. assistan
 superintendent of the Sunset Tele phone company, and W. T. Smith. the i local manager of the company. The
 completion of the proposed line vii be another step toward a telephone system connecting all the principal
 points and mines O. the territory.
 The extent of the telephone lines
 in Arizona at present is not generally
 known. There are many short lines
 used at mines and q few of greater length. The Jerome TelephOne-Tele- graph company has q line extending to
 Lynx creek and from there the line is connected with Prescott ten miles distant. by the Sunset wire. Prof. George Treadwell, an owner of the Jerome TeIephone-TeIe system. was authorized by that company re- gently to confer with w. T. Smith as to building q line connecting Prescott and Phoenix. Mr. TreadwelFs com pany proposed to run a line to Con- gress Junction. providing the Sunset company continued it to Glendale. the remaining distance being already covered But Mr Smith thought the time not yet ripe for action in that direction.
 The line south from Phoenix will pass through Mammoth and ultimately will connect the Ray mine. which promises to be an immense property; 1t will be extended through the San Carlos Indian reservation. and will touch points south of Tucson including the AZurite mine and the Helvetia. route will be located out ward for the north. which will probably be adopted before long, including the Castle Creek mines. Crown Point the Gladiator. Mayer an don to Prescott. A point which will soon be included in the southern system is Globe
 MT. Smith says there is no limit of distance for telephone system. A line could be built encircling the world in such q manner that one speaking through transmitter could hear his own voice through a receiver after ii had encircled the globe. With q battery on each end of the line. one could be distinctly heard at a dis tance of 1000 miles. The line could be extended any distance and the voice would be as audible. providing. the extension was "batteried' every thousand miles. There are lines in the United States a.t present which enable people to converse about 5000 miles apart When the ultimate connection of Phoenix with Los Angeles is es- abolished, this town will have tele- phone communication as far as Wyoming.

AN OVERLAND VOYAGE
Whose Very Out Sci Is COIOred by
 Adventures.

Mr. F. T. Howes of Brad
 ford, Pa, who has been speId-
 ing ithe winter Tn Phoenix, left early
 Globe, intending to go thence to Flag
 staff and make his way by easy stages to the Grand canyon. He was accom-
 panied by his son. Ed Howes. Mir.
 HOwes had the most elaborate outfit
 that was ever taken out of Phoenix on
 a camping tour. In his early life MT.
 How6 was q sailor. So that in pre- pairing for this voyage among the mountains he rigged out q craft unlike anything that had ever been employed ill overland travel. It was not built on the lines of a wagon, nor vet on those of a yacht. It was covered with heavy canvas and armored with wire screening. It contained all sorts of bunkers in which more things could be stored away than had ever been hidden in the same volume of cubic space.
 A lighter vessel. was protected DuckboaTd. in which the commander of the expedition and his son rode in the daytime. They slept on cots in the aImOred ark at night. The crew com prised Chinese cook and a man to take care of the horses. The fleet sail ed from Mesa last Wednesday. Mir. HoWes expected to make Florence in two days. intending to put In at Desert Wells, midway. Nothing more was heard from him until yesterday. when q letter was received from Flor ence. He said he began to be oyer taken by disaster Just before he reached Desert Wells His Chinese cook was prostrated by heat and it was feared that he was going to die. Instead of touching at the wells. Mr HoWeS crowded on more sail for Florence. Late in the afternoon of the Chinese cooks aff1iction bicyclist was sighted under a mesquite tree. his bicycle lying carelessly in the sand nearby, a signal of distress. He had not tasted water for twenty-four hours. He was taken aboard and his wheel was put into the hold.
 This derelict was from Phoenix but Mir. HOwes writes shat he was unable to make out his name.

GO SLOW ON FREE SILVER.
$. l.. Morss. IndianapOlis Editor Gives
 His Party Some Advice.

Indianapolis. Ind, June 27.-There is much concern here among free silver democrats over the announcement by S. F. MorSs. editor of the Sentinel. in an interview, that the party must not make free silver an issue in 1900. He speaks of adopting a platform against trusts and against expansion. but declares that if free silver is made the dominant issue the party will be defeated, as in 1896. Mr MorSs said:
 ''The financial declaration of 1896 will be reiterated but it will not and should not form the dominant issue. If it does we cannot win. I say that as a bimetallist. I am q free silver man. but believe we can do nothing with the currency question for some time 10 come. The republicans will control(he senate. practically for the next six years, so there Is no hope of any silver legislation in that time. So long as these copditions prevail, there fore, I don't see anything to be gained by making q leading Issue of the silver question.
 With these antitrust. anti-mili- tarism and expansion and tariff re- fornl-as the leading issues we can go into the campaign next year with bright hopes. ] believe the prospects for democratic success were never l brighter With such blanks as these | we will have platform that appeals 10 the people at large
 Many of i:he democrats are\dissent- ! ing from this view and the talk is re- vlved of starting free silver organ in 1 opposition to the Sentinel, of which | Morss is both editor and proprietor. Mir. MorsS was consul general to Paris under the Cleveland administration. and prior to the convention of 1896 his paper leaned strongly toward the gold standard

\ Clergyman and Butcher in West
 Virginia Involved In It.

Charleston. w. Va, June 2T.-The grand jury of Pleasants county has q case before it involving q minister of the gospel in some very crooked bust ness. According to the evidence be- fore the grand jury the Rev. Mr. Givens of the NJ. E. conference at Hebron and J. A. Edwards. q butcher of the same place, were members of q secret society called the ID r. A" Ten dollars was charged for initiation into the mysteries of the order, and the applicant was required to sub scribe to an iron-bound oath and the penalty for revealing the secrets was death in the most horrible manner.
 The chief secret seemed to be the plates for printing government money of engraving and printing ard d large amount of notes had been printed from these plates. Any member of the order who would deposit S2O of lawful money would receive $1O0 in spurious notes. The notes were to be placed in a sealed envelope, With the an2ount 1t contained on the back. The applicant was to carry the envelope certain number of days before open ing it, when he would find the re- qufred sum of spurious money in it. Those who obeyed the instructions and deposited their $20 found, of course, upon opening the envelope that 1t contained nothing but worthless paper. The losses of the witnesses who testi- fled before the grand jury ranged from S10 to S45. The grand jury indicted both Givens amid Edwards.
