Arrested While It a Concert and
Taken to the Chamber.

It was learned early in the evening
that four or five Republican members
of both branches of Council were in a
secluded apartment in the last story
of the Masonic Temple and several Of
fcers were despatched to make an in
v~estigation. The blue coats" prompt
ly stationed themselves in the hall
ways of the building and closely
guarded every possible avenue Of es-
cape.
Late in the evening there were some
complaints from some one connected
in an official capacity with the man.
agement of the building against the
order for the officers to remain on
duty there and one OF the guardsmen
communicated this fact to police head
quarters.
This only served to effect a more
rigid enforcement Of the order. The
officers were instructed to remain at
the temple with a view of trying to
freeze out the Gagged councilmen.
The lights were turned on in every
department of the building to which
there was access and at an early hour
this morning the faithful suardsrnen
were stationed here and there, deter
minde to keep a strict vigil for what
might have been termed some of the
missing links in the councilmanic
chain"

GOT HER COFFEE
Ard 1T. Pulled Her Out.


Doctor after doctor said l should
not drink strong coffee. 1t struck me
as peculiar that this advice should be
SO universal.
| have beer a school teacher, and a
few years ago began to feel l was
pretty well worn out and nervous,
found that j was depending more and
more upon my coffee to carry me
through my days work. Many times.
when teaching in a boarding school,
! have asked the matron for a cup of
coffee strong" because / felt l could
not get through the recitation without
it.
"Of course, was living or borrowed
strength, and two years ago the phys
ical' crash came. Nervous prostrat1on
and neurasthenia. For weeks l could
not even walk or stand alone. The
physician said 1t would be two or
three years before l could recover so
as to be able to do anything. My APP
petite was gone. / could not sleep,
and I was in a desperate condition,
nervous and otherwise.
IT was wanting coffee very badly,
but it vas kept from me. One norm
ing about three weeks after the break
down, the nurse brought me a cup OF
coffee, of delicious flavor. May | have
-it?' | exclaimed, Yes, the doctor says
1t will not hurt you now i could not
understand it and did not try, but just
drank the coffee, and had it every
morning after that.
my appetite began to return with
the first cup, and l had been enjoying
it for a month or more when sister
said, Does your coffee taste as good
as it did before you were sick?' oh
yes, | said 1T never tasted better is
1t strong enough to suit your 4 said,
Ut could not be improved DO o
know she said, You are not drinking
Mocha or Java, but Postum Food Cof-
fee?' and so it was, every grain of it.
Il had often scoffed at Postum Food
Coffee before | knew of its value, and
Its delicious flavor.
ut has been a saviour to me. In
stead of waiting two or three years
to recover strength, | am now in good
working condition six months after
the breakdown and feel better than l
have in ten years past" S. w. H.
Everett, Wash. Full name given by
Postum Cereal CO., Ltd. Battle Creek,
Mich.
There is a reason for such rapid re-
covery. Postum Food Coffee contains
the natural phosphate of potash and
albumen from the grains of the field,
which nature has sent for the use OF
humanity in the body. These mate
.rials combine in the human system
u go to make up the gray matter
that fills the nerve cells in the brain
and all through the structure. We
must furnish proper materials if we
would build the proper body.
You can get those materials in a
delicious form in Postum Food~Cofree.

VENGEANCE QUICK IND
TERRIBLE hEIEDOUT 70
NEGRO MURDERER.

Within ten minutes Of the time when
the mob reached the bridge with the
victim, the people began to assemble
in ever increasing numbers. When the
body was taken down to be carried to
the fire, the bridge, west of the draw
was harricaded, and the crowd was
stopped there, but the east bank of the
river and the bridge on the city side
of the draw was crowded with thous-
ands of men. women and children, gaz-
ing at the awful spectacle of a human
body being consumed in vengeful
flames.
The certainty hat the wretch was
dead did not appease the anger of the
mob. With grim determination they
fed the flames and watched the flesh
shivel to cinders and the bones crun-
BILE and burn.
Souvenir hunters were on hand in
force and fragments of the body are
now scattered broadcast. One man,
while the feet still protruded from
the flames, offered 81 for a toe from
1.-The nigger's foot" A venturesome
youth drawing a knife from his pocket
made a dash for the prize. He quick
ly amputated a toe, delivered the goods
and got his money.
AS the bones began to crumble and
fall apart the fragments were drawn
from the fire and carried away.
At three o'clock there was nothing
left Of the body except a small section
Of the trunk and
The Back of the Head.
Busy hands kept the burning fag-
gots piled upon the roasting segment.
An old stump with spreading roots
was placed upon the apex of the pyre.
and was soon aglow, bearing a gro
tesque resemblance to a giant hand
working dire vengeance upon the
wrong-doer.
oLh W ClS oSSHS ny scores
and elbowed their way into the inner
circle OF spectators undeterred and ap-
parently unmoved by the horror of the
spectacle. AT about 2:30 o'clock the
barrioade vas removed from the west
end of the bridge and the crowd
streamed across and surrounded the
fire. They watched and waited and
came and went while the flames did
their work, and when the last frag-
ment of the body was consumed the
crowd still fingered, still augmented by
new arrivals, satisfied to gaze upon
the ashes of the tragedy.
Ward was 81 years old and leaves q
widow and two children. He came
here five years ago from C~ircleville,
Ohio. The statement that he was one
time in an insane asylum is denied by
his wife. He served a Jail sentence in
1889 for larceny.
The leaders of the mob are unknown
and as public sentiment upholds the
lynching, no prosecutions are expected.

The directors of the Wheeling Board
of Trade We're in regular session last
evening and transacted a considerable
amount of business. One of the most
important features of the meeting was
the recording of a decided increase in
the membership of the board. There
were 124 new members elected, eighty
three being from Wheeling and forty
one from Martins Ferry. The addition
al list of Wheeling members was So
Z licited by Assistant Secretary ]. Z.
Adams since Walter Rinehardt, an ap-
pointee Thy the board, finished his part
of the work of this nature, and to-
gether with the Martins Ferry list,
make the total membership 442.
The representatives Of the Ohio town
united with the board as individuals,
but it is very likely that they will or
ganize an auxiliary board for the pur-
pose OF assuming charge of all matters
Of local interest.
After the session was called to or
der the regular order of business was
suspended to receive the applications
for membership from Martins Ferry,
and to discuss the relations between
the Wheeling board and the prospec-
tive auxiliary association. Those COM
posing the Martins Ferry committee
were Judge I. w. Shreve, r. r. Kerr
and John C. Hayne. The discussion
was particularly with reference to rep
resentation and appointing of commit
tees, and consumed over an hour.
A lot of advertising propositions
were taken up and referred to the
proper committee.
Secretary Thompson read a commu-
nication from the president of the Ma
tional ~Irrigating Association stating
that the chairman of their executive
committee could come to Wheeling
to address the Board of Trade in re-
gard to the Reclamation of the Arid
lands in the west If the members wish
ed it. On motion, the communication
was accepted and it was decided to
extend an invitation to the chairman
to address the board upon the ques-
ton. Several members present favor
ed the appointing of a member of the
board to serve on the advisory COM
mittee of that national organization,
which meets in Buffalo, N. Y, next De-
tober.
The directors adjourned about II
O'Clock, and then repaired to an ante
chamber, where they were shown the
preliminary sketches of the new Board
of Trade building. They freely ex-
pressed their ideas as to the most suit
able quarters in the building for the
beard meetings and the majority of
them favored the selection of the Sec
ond floor for this purpose.
The following named new members
were received:

iron ore by the Carnegie company is
from six to seven million tons, and Of
this the Pibtshurg. EeasemeT & Lake
Erie receives at its docks at Conneaut
Hareor from two million to three mill
lion tons eacn year. The Pitts3urg &
Lake Erie and the Pennsylvania lines
now haul the remainder OF this heavy
tonnage to the Carnegie furnaces. This
tonnage will now have to be divided
by the railroad combination with the
new Gould syndicate, virtually the Wa
bash. It is expected that this tonnage
alone will amount from 1850, 000 to p
0e0,0G tons each year. This is insured
and the greater increase in the Carne-
gle consumption and production will
add so much to the tonnage OF the new
Gould road.
The Pittsburg promoters of the
scheme are not yet prepared to make
public their plans. All admit that
the publication in the Dispatch on
Monday. while complete as to It's Facts,
details and statements, and while pre-
mature, has done no harm to the pro-
ject.
Vice President Ramsey, in a private
telegram to the Dispatch last night
from st. Louis virtually admitted the
correctness of the Dispatches state
ments.

The Councilmanic muddle went SO

quiet of the Philharmonic concert.
which occurred at the Carroll Club last
night. Prof. Hermann Shockey is at
once first violinist of the quartette and
member from the Second ward
of the First Branch of Coun-
ell. The members of the quar-
tette were on the stage behind the
scenery and the audience were in their
seats awaiting in hushed expectancy.
Two men in plain clothes crossed the
floor. The two men were Detectives
OLeary and Mcdonald. The latter
stopped at the stage door and O'Leary
entered the stage. There was a mo-
ment's wait and then Prof. Shockey
came to the foot-lights.
He said: mo doubt the audience will
have to excus me for a few moments.
No. I guess i won't CO."
well see whether you'll go or not"
responded Detective C'Leary from the
wings, and taking a pair Of handouts
from his pocket advanced towards the
Professor.
And the audience Missed.
Prof. Shockey caught his hands and
told the detective he would accom-
pany him.
This is the work of our Mayor"
said the Professor as they started from
the stage.
"No, this is the work of politics"
said O'Leary.
Professor S%chockey requested the
audience to remain, stating that he
would be back within a very few min
utes. He and the detective left the
stage. Councilman Fred Meyers, who
is a member OF the First Branch, is
also a member of the quartette. He
was taken by the officer along with
Prof. Schockey. In a short time they
returned, and the concert proceeded
without further delay.
