AN ILLINOIS HORROR.
One Crime Leads to the Commis-
 sion of Many Others.

Gilman, Ill.,, August 27.-One man dead, two wounded and three women believed to be burned to death is the result of the coroner finding that Bessie Salter died from the effects of malpractice i'll the hospital of Mrs. Dr. Charlotte Wright, in this city.
 Constable Millstead, followed by a large crowd, went last night to serve a warrant at the hospital, but when he arrived there he was refused admission to the house. The door was broken ill, but the mob was stopped by two shots, one of which killed Mike Ryan.
 The crowd then withdrew and spasdomic efforts to burn the pre- misses became systematic when Ryan's relatives arrived upon the scene. Part of the crowd kept perfect stream of bullets flying through the windows of the house, while others carried strawand others inAammable material. Meanwhile Willoi1ghby and Peter Maur were wounded by bullets from the un- derbrush near the house. The house was totally destroyed, and it is believed three girls, inmates.
 At daylight the mob searched the bushes and found John Meyers, an employee of Mrs. Wright, shot dead, with dozen bullet holes in his body. The position of the corpse leaves no doubt that he fired on the mob. Near him was Mrs. Wright, unconscious, with an ugly wound i'll her shoulder. None of the three girls have been found. Lawrence Ryan, Michael's brother, was shot while seeking revenge for the latter's death.
 Except Peter Maur, all the wounded are expected to die. No have been made.
