Meets Terrible Death.

Moet8 Terrible Death.
Pueblo, Colo, May 22.-Five minutes
after Calvin Kimblcrn had reached Pu-
eblO tonight his ragged corpse was
being dragged by rope through the
streets by n mob of 10000 people.
Ten minutes later his body swung
high on pole at the corner of Eighth
and Santa Fe streets in the very heart
Of the city. There was not the slightest
attempt made mt his defense by the Of
ficers who had him in charge. Two po
licemen and two deputy sheriffs joined
the party at Colorado Springs.
Long before the train approached Pu-
eblo all of the officers had emptied
their revolvers lest by any chance
blood should be shed in a feint attempt
at protection.
AS the train pulled into the Eighth
Street depot, Kimblern was pushed
helpless to his feet out of the front end
or the smoking car and into the very
hands of the mob.
There We're fights among the crowd
for the honor of dragging. y hundred:
willing hands seized the rope. and.
yelling and cheering as though ut II fes-
tival, they started again across the
track. The negro's head and face We're
smashed horribly against the rails as
he was dragged ruthlessly along.
Across the Eighth street platform he
was dragged. smashing among the pill
lars. Then the mob started up the
roughly rutted gravel on Eighth street.
His head and hands dragged in the
sand.
kimblern was arrested in Denver
about O'Clock to-day and brought
down on the evening train. The of
ficers apparently expected trouble and
die not take great pains to avoid the
mob.
AT the coroner's inquest OH the bod
lea of the two little girls the fact devel-
oped that the murderer had outraged
them before killing them. This fac!
added to the fury of the people.

Says the Mining and Scientific Press:
1t is unpleasant to continually make

This rules out the prOspector. 1t is Ell
fcrcemcnt of the rigid letter of the law,
but in opposition to its spirit The min
ers were not made for the law; the law
was made for the miners. 1t was, of
course. the intent to protect timber land
from unlawful depreciation. That is
right. and the miner will gladly aid in
Its enforcement. but 1t is quite another
thing to make so sweeping aud arbi-
tfary ruling. This is not Russia. nor
South Africa, and the prospector or in
cividual miner trying to develop his
claim has rights that no official can
afford to disregard. Timber is neces-
sity to the miner. Heretofore the mine,
was allowed to cut enough off his loca
tion for necessary use in its develop
inent. The fairness and justice of this
was universally recognized-even i'm the
office of the secretary of the interior at
Washington. Anything that can in rea-
son be done to encourage the develop

AMENDING DIVORCE LAWS.

the Bill before the senate.

ceiyed from their Attorney an opinion on
Senate bill 2-G3. TO restrict the grounds
of divorce and to improve procedure in
the District Ct Columbia aad the Terri
tories
Attorney DuvaIl commeHds he bill. say
ing that il is a measure which. in his
opinion. should be favorab!y recommended
by the District Commissioners. He states
that divorce from the bond Of marriage In
the District is regulated by section 15S
of the Revised Statutes Whicn provides
seven grounds for divorce. Divorce from
bed and board the Attorney further says
is regulated by section 739 Of the Revise 4
Statutes. which provides Two grounds for
divorce.
The Attorney then goes on to say thai
the proposed bill is TO amend sec
tion 739 by authorizing divorce from the
marriage bond only when one Of the par
ties has committed adultery during tnr
marriage. Ii further provides. according
to the Attorney. that the marriage con-
tract may be declared void in those cases
wherein section 13S authorizes divorce
from the marriage bond. namely, habi;u8i
drunkenness for q period of three years
cruel treatment endangering life or
health: wiliful desertiOn and abandonment
for two years The proposed bill also
provides that legal separation from bed
ard board may be granted for drunken
ness. cruelty. and desertion.
The Attorney. after this statement. gives
his opinion that the divorce law of the
District should be amended on the ground
that the dissolution OF the marriage coz
tract is entirely too easy under existing
law and procedure. He. therefore, COM

MIDDLETOWN. y. Y, April ga most
remarkable case of healing by faith and
prayer is reported from Highland Fails.
The truth of the story is vouched for by
residents of this city who are familiar with
the case 1t Is declared that Miss Annie
Pascoe who had been unable to walk d
step unassisted for more than five years,
has suddenly recovered the use of her
limbs.
Miss Pascoe asserts that upon a resent
morning a peculiar sensation came over
her as if Heaven had opened before her.
and she says she distinctly heard voice
commanding her tC rise and walk. She
hestated, and a second command came.
She then arose and walked two or three
times across the room, with no assistance
whatever save her implicit faith in the Al
mighty. She was alone al the time and.
walking out into the hallway, called 10
some members CT the family. Seeing hes
standing alone and able to walk, they
stood app Ted
The young woman says il had been her
constant prayer 10 be able to walk, and
she had faith that her prayer would be
answered. She has had a trained nurse
attending her for two years The nurse,
with four physicians, agreed the case was
a hopeless one.
Miss Pascoe's alleged recovery aston
ishes the physicians who have been at
tending her and all who were acquainted
with her previous to her illness Some
are inclined 70 scof at the idea of the
cure, having been performed in answer to
prayer, but even the most skeptical are
unable TO account for her changed con-
dition on the ground OF natural causes.
The young woman relates her remarkable
experience with tears Of gratitude cours-
ing down her cheeks. and declares that
to God and God alone is due The praise for
her cure.
Some persons. however shake their
heads and declare the cure is more imag
mary than real and fear it will not be
long ere the girls lameness returns. Miss
Pascoe. it is said, is gaining strength ey-
cry day and hopes to be out soon.

4 Historic Gun.

One of the 9-inch columbiads. a Rodman
gun. with which Major Anderson defended
Fort Sumter in April. 1861. is now being
mounted in front of the War Department.
Its weight is about 1900 pounds. After
the Confederates captured Fort Sumter.
they shrunk a wrought iron band on this
gun to strengthen il, and then they rified
it. 1t was one of the very first rif1ed
cannon used in the civil war and il is said
to have done great execution. The heavy
band on the breech gives the gun great
ponderance making it difficult to work.
even with the very best carriage. The
present Secretary of War has had a num-
Der of captured guns. of Revolutionary of
1872 of Mexican, and civil war and Span
