1t Game ON HIS fortunate Day. an Il
While a Terrific Storm
Was Raging.

Cromwell was now SO years old.
Eight years before he had written to
! his wife hat he felt the infirmities of
age stealing over him. His robust en-
orgies a been consumed by the ex-
hausting duties of his career. His govt
seemed to leave his leg and retire into
his body, and for four or five DAYS he
was Tacked with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making it impossible
Tor hlm to sleep. He rode Il once at
the head of his life guard. and spoke
kindly with George Fox, fa.orinr the
fullest freedom of worship for the
Quakers- Before | came to him" said
Fox, y saw and felt a watt of death go
forth against him"
While tossing on his bed he repined
for mis- dear Elizabeth; and then his
thoughts swept back to Robert. dead
at Felsted school 10 years ago: and he
Vainly strove to check his tears with
the soIace of that Scripture which he
knew in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crom-
well all through his life that he was
privileged to hold personal communion
with the Most High God WAS strangely
manifested in these last days. lie be-
sought the Lord that for the good of
His people He would spare his life vet a
little longer. He then assured his conn
seiorS h a his PRAYER had been granted
using a manne Of such mysterious con-
hdenCe that his hearers were trans
ported with amazement. Fleetwood
sent a quick message to Henry Crom-
we'll in Ireland that his highness had
made very great discoveries OF the Lord
and had received assurances of being
restored; to which Henry replied that
the communication had given him some
relief.
But there came a night when all saw
'hat the end was approaching. They
trled TO get him to name his successor.
and in his thick d~eath-gasps they af-
tected to believe that they heard him
say Richard" They offered him a
drink. 1t is not my design to drink
or sleep" he said, but my design is to
make what haste can to be gone" All
night he tossed and all day he drew his
heavy suspiratiOns. The widest storm
that England had known was raging
without. 1t was the anniversary of
ms great victory Of Dunbar-the ami
versary. too, of his great victory Of
Worcester. And on this, his fortunate
day his spirit passed out amid the
hghtnlng.-SamueI Harden Church IN

Croker VIII Go to Europe.

New York, April 5.-Yesterday's
session of the Mazet investigating
committee proved far less interesting
than any previous one. The session was
entirely devoted to probing the various
benevolent and other societies which
are supported solely by members of
the police force. John Proctor Clarke,
who conducted the greater part of the
examination, intimated Jy his ques-
tions that while the single headed po-
lice bill was pending at Albany lev os
were made on all ranks ot the frrcc
for funds to oppose it, but his wj'@'-~-

Novel Suit For Damages.

Washington, April 25.--A suit for
damages has been instituted by one
Washington dry goods firm against
another which involves a novel point
of general interest. The charge Is
that the defendant firm "maliciously.
unlawfully and unjustly" conspired to
persuade one of plaintiffs clerks to
leave his employ and enter that of the
defendant, by reason of which the
plaintiff was compelled to increase the
clerks salary in order to retain his
services. The purpose of the suit is
to determine whether one has the legal
right to induce employees of other con-
Germs to leave the service Of the latter
by offers of increased salary.

Little Rock, Ark, April 25.-Thc coal
mining strike in the western part of
this state, which has been on for three
weeks, may cause conflict Of author
ity between Governor Jones and the
federal courts. Some 5000 miners are

at standstill. Negroes are to bo
brought from North Carolina to work
these mines. and the United States
court at Fort Smith has issued an in
junction restraining miners and others
from interfering with any one desir-
ing to work, and Governor Jones has
issued a counter order declaring that
the peace of the state demands the ex-
clusion of the negroes and authorizing
the sheriff of Sebastian county to pre-
vent their landing in Arkansas.

Philadelphia, April 24.-The Jury in
the Quay case returned verdict Of not
guilty last Friday, and within an hour
afterward Governor Stone appointed
M. S. Quay to the seat in the national
senate left vacant by the failure Of
the state Legislature to elect a sue
cessor to Mr.. Quay, whose term as sem
ator expired on March 4.
When the verdict acqutting Senator
Quay was announced there was almost
an uproar in the court, but 1t was sup
pressed by vigorous cries of Silence -
Out in the corridor an indescrbable
scene followed. A great burst of cheer
ing rent the air, hats went up and the
hurrahs echoed and re-echoed. People
rushed pell nell toward Quay. grasped
his hands and calculated congratula-
tions in all sorts of words. There was
an ovation, which no effort was made
to restrain.
Nothing has ever been seen in this
city like the demonstration on the
street that greeted the silent man as
he left the city hall. Then the crowd
broke loose. With one wild yell they
formed around him, grasped his
hands, screamed, waved their hats and
threw them high above their heads
Quay's shoulders were gripped, his
back was slapped. his coat caught hold
of, until ii looked as If he would suffer
from the mad enthusiasm that gave
itself full vent.
There are many differing opinions
as to the right of Governor Stone To
fill the vacancy in the senate. Discuss
ing this question Senator Boies Pen
rose declares the governors action
perfectly legal, and insists that the
appointment will be sustained by the
national senate. ExPostmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker points to the fact that
in a similar case (Corbett of Oregon)
Senator Quay voted against seating.
Mr.. Wanamaker declares the COVER
nor's action unconstitutional, as does
George A. jerks, the late Democratic
candidate for speaker.

Terrible Fate OF a Negro Murderer
and Rnvishcr In Georgia.

Terrible Fate OF n Negro Murderer
and Ravishcr In Gcorgin.
Newman, Ga, April 24.-ln the pres
ence Of nearly 1000 people who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts of
Joy, Sam Hose. negro who commit
ted two of the basest acts known to
crime, was burned at the stake on the
road one and one-half miles from here
yesterday. Before the torch was ap-
piled to the pyre the negro was de-
prived OF his ears, fingers and other
portions OF his anatomy. The negro
pleaded pitifully for his life while the
mutilation was going on, but stood the
ordeal Of fire with surprising fortitude.
Before the body was cool 1t was cut to
pieces, the bones were crushed into
small bits and even the tree against
which the wretch met his fate was torn
up and disposed of as souvenirs. The
negro's heart was cut in several pieces,
as was also his liver. Those unable to
obtain the CHASTITY relics direct paid
their more fortunate possessors ex-
trayagant sums for them.
When the mob was leading Hose to
his doom Ex-Governor Atkinson made
an appeal for respect Of the law, de-
claring that some Of the lynchers were
known to him, and that he would GER
tainly testify against them. His ap-
peal was unheeded.
Before being put to death Hose ad-
mitted killing Farmer Crawford, but
denied outraging Mrs. Crawford. He
declared that he had been paid $12 by
"Lige" Strickland, negro preacher
at Palmetto, to commit the murder.
Today a mob caught Strickland and
hanged him. He died protesting inno-
cence. Strickland's body, too, was
mutilated for souvenirs"

II. is believed the other manufacturers
would readily accept any agreement
