COL. SHAW DROPS DEAD.
Found Life1ess in His Room at Wash
| inptnn-AnonIexY the Cause.


Col. Albert Duane Shaw, former COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic and Congressman from the
Twenty District of New York,
met a tragic death in his room at the
Riggs House, in Washington. He died
of apoplexy. When his room was en-
cred by G. E. Glypn, Col. Shaw's secre-
tary, the Congressman was found on the
floor, face downward, where he had
fallen when stricken. Doctors hastily
summoned said the Congressman had
been dead for nearly eight hours, and
that the stroke had probably ended life
Immediately.
Col. Shaw was born at Lyme, Jefferson
County, n. Y, Dec. 81, 1871. He was
educated at Relleville, Union Academy
and Canton University. He enlisted as
a private in Company \, Thirty-ffth
New York Volunteers, in June, 1861,
serving out the term of enlistment. He
was appointed special agent of the
war department in 1868 and was sta
toned at the provost-marshars head
quarters at WATERFOWL, n. Y, serving
until the close of the war. In 1866 he
was elected member of the State AS
sembly and was appointed colonel of the
Thirty-sixth Regiment, National Guard
of New York. by Gov. r. e. Fenton, re-
signing this Office to accept the position
of United States Consul at Toronto i'll
1868. He was promoted from that place
to Manchester, England, in 1878, and
was removed by President Cleveland in

NEGRO LYNCHED BY MOB.
Assailant of a White Woman Hanged
in Paris, KY.

George Carter, a negro, paid the eX-
IRENE penalty of his crime of assault
upon Mrs. w. Z. Bold about three weeks
ago at the hands of a mob at Paris, Ky.
About 2 o'clock a. m. thirty determined
men appeared at the Jail door and de-
manded admittance of Jailer Kiser. He
refused and the door was burst open.
The jailer was overpowered in an in
slant, the keys secured and in less than
five minutes Carter was in the hands of
the mob. He refused to make any state
ment.
1t was the work of only a minute to
place a rope around his neck, and he was
then half-dragged to the entrance of the
courthouse. The rope was thrown over
the iron arch leading to the entrance.
and, while several pulled on the rope,
others lifted his body. He died by stran-
gulation. The mob then quietly dis
persed.
During the whole affair there was not
q loud word spoken. Scarcely anyone
in the town, outside of the immediate
participants, knew that the lynching was
to occur. At 1870 o'clock the electric
lights were extinguished, and the town
was in total darkness.
Before the men dispersed they pinned
a card on the body ,of the negro, bearing
this inscription: This will be the fate
Of all negroes who assault white women"
The other occupants of the Jail, who
are all negroes, were greatly frightened,
and their cries and meanings could be
heard for several blocks. The crime was
a most atrocious one.

Cleaning Air.

The success of an experimental air
washer in the public library of Chica-
ga has led the authorities TO put in a
complete system calculated TO cleanse
thoroughly all the air used in the build
ing. The SCOT and dirt-laden air of
Chicago was slowly running the books
of the library, and the fine mural dec
orations, and it was necessary to do
something to save them. The washer
winch was tried not only removed the
dirt and SCOT. but the odors as well,
and, presumably, many germs, so that
the visitors at the library were bene-
flied quite as MUCH as the books aud
the paintings. The cleansing of the
air is a very simple process. The air
is drawn into a box through a system
of water sprays and over a series OF
metal plates. The sprays take out all
the shavings, bits of straw and paper,
filaments of cotton and wool, ETC.,
which float out of a drain at the bot
tom of the box. The damp air is then
forced over another series of plates by
great fan. These plates are set at
slight angles to each other and have
fianges which, as the air passes around
them, catch the dirt. 1t is said that If a
persons hand is inserted in this COM
partment it will quickly become black
with dirt. In summer the air which
energies from the yentilators is cool,
but dry, while in winter it will be
warmed by first passing over steam
mines

Precinns stones.

Recent arrivals from South Africa
have brought the most wondrous spec
linens Of diamonds" with them, beau
tiful to behold. but alas! they would not
scratch glass, while some of the most
beautiful of all can be cut with peck
etknife. 1t is tolerably simple to say
whether a stone is diamond or not.
If you can scratch a sapphire with il,
you want no further test; it is a dia-
mond. If you rub it with wool or on
wood in the dark, and it phosphoresces,
it is a diamond. If you look through it
at light and see only one light, it is
most probably diamond The N-rays
have discovered that diamond is near
ly, if not quite, translucent TO those
rays, whereas the brightest paste
contains most lead and throws the
blacklist shadow. And a diamond tastes
cold, whereas paste gem tastes warm.

A 10000 haul was made by the rob
bers who boldly stole a United States
Express Company route safe at Manila,
Iowa, while express matter and baggage
was being transferred from a train on
the Sioux City division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway to
Chicago train. The express officials will
not state that this sum was lost, but it
is known that about $4,000 in cash was
taken on in Sioux City and about $4,000
in drafts and other valuables. Three
men were arrested in the country near
Manila after an all-night hunt by a citi-
Zens' posse under direction of the city
marshal.
Consummate nerve characterized the
robbery The Sioux City train arrived
in Manila at sos, and Immediately there
after the express messenger, James w.
Sturtevant of Sioux City, and a couple
of baggage rustlers employed at the
Manila junction unloaded the car, plac-
ing the route safe on a platform truck
with other freight The Chicago train
was an hour or more late, and the men
climbed into the car to get out of the
cold while waiting. At about $40 o'clock
the messenger stepped outside and for
the first time noted the loss of the safe.
The heavy iron box had been picked
up bodily from the truck by two men and
carried away. Usually the depot plat
form is crowded at train time, but the
extreme cold weather kept the curious
depot loungers inside, and the men were
not detected as they worked at the dark
end of the platform.
The men carried the heavy box for
about two blocks, where they loaded it
into buggy and drove away. A mile
and half in the country north of the
town the box was found several hours
later, forced open, and its valuable con-
tents gone.
A posse was Immediately organized
after the loss was discovered and the
country searched in every direction. The
trail was finally found and a hard chase
kept up all night through snOwdrifts,
cornfelds, over country roads and across
hills. In the morning the three men I'M
der arrest were captured at the end Of
the trail that the lucky posse followed.

A RUSH FOR FREE HOMES.
HomesteRders Making Ready for the
Opening in Oklahoma.

Opening in Oklahoma.
BY virtue of an act of Congress passed
last June, tract of land sixty miles
square in Oklahoma territory is to be
opened for settlement some time this
year. Just when President Mckinley
will issue the proclamation emitting the
public to race for homesteads in what is
known as Beautiful Land" cannot be
definitely announced at present. But Off
Gals believe that all preliminary work
will be completed by the middle of next
August. This will be the last great strug
gle for free homes in America.
Descriptions of the wealth and fer
tility of Oklahoma have excited much
interest in the farms in that part of the
country, and already intending settlers
are camping on the border line waiting
for the President to proclaim the grounds
open. Many young lawyers, physicians
and enterprising business men may be
found who are making preparations to go
to that part of Oklahoma territory TO
seek their fortunes. There are reports
of new railway Developments in the terri
tory, and the establishment of new banks,
new building associations and insurance
companies is advertised; in fact. every
thing points to boom in that region as
soon as the farm rush begins.
The Interior Department and executive
officers of the territory are receiving
daily hundreds of communications con
corning the opening of this land for set
Element. From the information that can
be gathered, the number of farms in the
Kiowa and Comanche reservations is by
no means adequate TO meet the demand.
