READY FOR A LYNCHING.

Topeka Mob Determined to XIII an
Alleged Rape Fiend-Saved by Of
ffcers.
TOPEKA. Kan, February 20.-The
vigilance of officers was all that saved
slick" Slater, white man, 81 years
of age, from lynching by an Infatuated
mob tonight. He will yet be lynched
if he can be found
Slater assaulted seventeen-year-old
Lottie Gerberick, Monday evening, and
was captured by Topeka officers, the
next day, in Carbonate, twenty miles
from here The officers kept the fact
of the capture quiet and placed Slater
in the county jail here.
1t became known this afternoon that
he was here and Immediately the men
at the Santa Fe shops, where the girls
father is employed, decided that he
should be lynched. They at once sent
a committee to watch the Jail while
they quietly arranged details for the
expected lynching.
By 6 o'clock there was an angry mob
of a thousand men around the county
jail demanding that the prisoner be de-
livered to them. A brigade of sturdy
Santa Fe boilermakers, armed with
heavy sledge hammers, stood ready to
make short work of the Jail in case the
demands were not granted. Sheriff
Cook told the crowd that the prisoner
had been removed and offered TO let a
committee search the Jail. Ten men,
headed by Gerberick made thorough
search. Slater could not be found, and
the men so reported. This failed to sat
isfy the mob, and twice they started to
break in the Jail doors.
1t developed that early in the after
noon the sheriff, in anticipation of
trouble, ordered deputy to get Slater
out of town. The deputy drove to
Hoyt, with Slater and entered a north
bound Rock Island train with him.
1t is thought here tonight that the
man is now in Jail at Atchison.
| The Sante Fee shopmen are calmly de-
| termined to lynch Slater when he is
brought back here fer trial. and to this
| end have appointed a large vigilance com
mittee to be constantly On the lookout
! for him. The Sante Fe shopmen have a
past record for lynching, having strung
| up John ELEPHANT here twelve years ago
| for assault.

ANXIOUS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 20
Henry Phipps, of the Carnegie Steel
Company, was at his Office to-day, hav-
ing returned from New York last
night. but he declined to talk on the
proposed consolidation of steel inter
ests Ex-Secretary Lovejoy also refus-
ed to discuss the deal, but said that
Mr. Prick would be home the latter
part of this week. This is regarded as
an intimation that the work of COM
plotting the combination will not be
through before Friday or Saturday.
Manufacturers are anxious to have
the announcement made, as they be-
lieve it will help the market. Prices
are advancing slowly on all steel pro-
ducts. but inquiries are slower and
weaker than they have been on account
of the proposed steel combination. AS
soon as the combination is effected it
is said meetings OF the furnacemen's
association. steel pool and steel rail
pool will be held to arrange prices for
the next six months

LOCOMOTIVES COMPLETELY LOST
IN DRIFTS THAT ARE PILED
MOUNTAIN HIGH.
UNPRECEDENTED WEATHER.
SNOW PLOWS ABLE TO DO BUT LIT
TIE TOWARD CLEARING DEEP
COVERED TRACKS.

CORY, Pa, February 20.-In the
history of this region no storm ever
before reached the fury of to-day's
blizzard. With half a dozen feet OF
snow on country roads and outlying
city districts, Hatch street is buried
under twelve feet of snow Cory
caught about the worst part of the
storm. A heavy fall of snow accom-
panied by fierce wind of great veloc-
ity set in last evening and has contin-
ued with undated vigor. 1t is still
raging tonight. The railways early
recognized the fact that they had no
ordinary storm to contend with and
made hurried preparations to fight the
elements. The Western. New York &
Pennsylvania railways accommodation
train, due here at S:45 a. m, was stall
ed in drift higher than the engines
stack, while rushing down the summit,
a huge grade south of the city. It was
dug out with difficulty and again start
ed on its precarious journey toward
Buffalo. 1t probably will not get
through tonight. This road is oper-
ating its trains with three engines and
has three plows at work on ninety
miles of track
The worst drifts are at Summerdale,
where they reach a height of twenty
feet in places. On the Philadelphia &
Erie, a snow pillow jumped the track at
Jackson's while endeavoring to force
its way through a big drift. Traffic
was delayed several hours. For the
first time in many years this road has
been compelled to use snow plows. The
Erie is also compelled to operate hast
lily improvised snow plows, something
unheard of on the main line west of
Salamanca. The Lake Shore and
Nickel Plate are running their trains
but many hours behind time. Farmers
cannot send horse through the snow
and are forced to walk miles for life's
necessities. There is undoubtedly much
suffering among them.

THE KENNEDY MURDER TRIAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The trial of
DR.. Kennedy. charged with the MUIR
der of Dolly Reynolds, is nearly at an
end. The defense summed up to-day,
and tomorrow viii come the closing
address for the prosecution, the Judge s
charge. and probably verdict.
That the peoples case is weaker than
it was two years ago. when Kennedy
was convicted, is generally acknowl-
edged. On the other hand. the defense
is in better proposition, and a strong
alibi has been set up.
The few witnesses examined to-day
gave testimony favorable to the ac-
cused dentist. This afternoon Robert
tM. Moore. counsel for the prisoner,
addressed the jury in behalf of his
client, and he claimed that not Ken
nedy. but another was the companion
of Dolly Reynolds: that this I'M
known had murdered her and had as
sumed kennedy's name.

RANTOUL. H., Feb. 20.-The pri-

Vennum, at Fosher, a small hamlet
situated in the northwest part of
Champaign county, was robbed to-day
by a lone highwayman, who secured
$3.50. About 10 o'clock Arthur Hyer
a reckless farmer boy, aged " years,
entered the bank and in quiet tone
said he wanted money, at the same
time covering the clerks with a pistol.
The cashier, Arthur Vennum, handed
out the money requested, and the bold
robber backed out of the door An
alarm was. given at once, but not be-
fore the robber had boarded a freight
train just pulling into the illinois Cen
trail yards. He took charge of the en-
CINE and pulled through town at high
speed. However, several citizens had
armed themselves and caught the ca

There has been Of late quite little
talk among the gentlemen in this city
who own and drive their fast horses,
who have been seriously contemplate
ing the organization of a gentle
mems Driving Association this spring.
The fact that such an organization has
never been instituted here is surprising
in a community where so many good
horses, and fast ones, are owned.
The formation OF an association
would be an excellent thing for the
community at large. The roads in the
environs of the city would be kept in
better condition. In fact, the organiza-
ton of a driving association always
marks improvements along these lines.
The main idea is to have weekly
meetings on Saturday afternoons. In
case the association is go, the only
suitable place to hold them would be
on the fair ground ring. 1t is the best
half-mile track to be had in the coun-
try, and would facilitate to great de-
gree the work of the promoters.
Wheeling people own number OF
good horses. Last fall quite a number
got rid of horses they have
had for some time preparatory to get
ting some new ones in the spring.
Among some of the good ones is Don
JUAN" owned by Dr. l.. N. Refer. The
Don has never been marked. but he
can do 80 easily. Mr.. Osce Statler
owns "Aerelene,' who marked herself
in :16 at the matinee before the Blue
RIBBON sale last fall, pulling a road
wagon. Mr.. Joseph Speidel owns Capt.
Billey List, handsome bay. The Cap
tain was driven a mile in Ism by
Kenny on the mile track at Selma, Ala.
Mr.. Edward Seabright bought big
grey at the Blue Ribbon sale, which is
said to be very good. Mr.. Edward Sti-
fel owns Lee Wilkes, cracking
roadster, capable of 3minute clip on
the road, and also speedy mare, which
was put out on small circuit last sea-
son and did fairly well.

TOOK SISTERS LIFE.
Fiendish Act of Six-Year-Old Girl
In Michigan.

STEPHENSON, Mich, February 20.
During the absence of her mother to-
day the six-year-old daughter of John
Myers. for the fourth time attempted
to take the life of one of her two
smaller sisters and succeeded. She
took a stick of burning stove wood, and
holding her two-year-old sister to the
floor pressed the brand against her
clothing The victim managed to get
out of doors and lie down in snow
drift, which barely extinguished the
flames, but she was so terribly burned
about the legs and body that she died
in few hours afterwards. The girls
sister does not seem to realize the sig
nificance of her act.
