RiddIed With Bullets.

Madison, Fla, Jan. 1.-Two colored
men, Jim benson and his half broth
er, were taken from the county Jail
here by persons unknown, led into
the woods about half mile from
town and hanged. The bodies were
riddled with bullets. The Negroes
were charged with killing Frederick
Redding, a farmer. They fed tc
Georgia, where they were arrested
and brought back to this state.
While attending an entertainment
at the opera house the sheriff was
informed that some one wished to
see him. When he reached the street
the keys to the Jail were taken from
him by members of the mob. From
the number of empty cartridges
found at the place of lynching it is
estimated that the number of lynch

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Many Small Captures, Destruction
of Insurgent Camps, Seizure
Of Supplies, Etc.

Manila, Jan. 5.-Gens. Wheaton and
Bates report many small captures,
the destruction of insurgent camps,
and the seizure of supplies, animals
and other necessities. Among the
captures in Smiths district was Col.
Techon, the insurgent governor of
Tarlac.
Gen. Grant is personally in com
mand of mounted expedition in the
mountains of Southern Pampangas,
which, he says, is the only locality
where the insurgents are in force in
his district.
Insurgents entered Gapan and San
Isidro, in Gen. Funston's district,
during the night and burned a score
of houses. Their firing was ineffect-
i've.
Gen Macarthur has committed sew
eral death sentences of military
courts to imprisonment.
Judge Taft's written opinion of the
San Jose college case was considered
and indorsed by the Philippine COM
mission Friday afternoon. 1t was
made public Saturday.
The enactment of the school bill
has been deferred on account of the
desire of the Filipinos to be heard
on the bill as completed. 1t differs
radically from the one prepared by
Superintendent Atkinson and indors-
ed by Gen. Macarthur. The latter
appropriated $1,65O,OOO outright, to
be disbursed through Mr.. Atkinson
under the supervision of Gen. Mac
Arthur.
The completed bill directly appro-
PIRATES only $4,000 and reserves to
the commission authority over plans
for school houses, and also requires
Mr.. Atkinson to report to both Gen.
Macarthur and the commission.
The commission has authorized the
department of public instruction to
proceed with the business intrusted
to its administration.
Many inquiries have been received
here from the provinces concerning
the federal party. The organizers
are establishing a daily newspaper
and three weeklies, to be published
in Spanish and Tagalog, in the prov
ince of Pampanga.

He Was the Head.

Chicago, Jan. Phillip D. Armour
died at his residence on Prairie ave-
nue., in this city, at 5:45 o'clock Sun
day evening. The end came after two
years of illness, during which time
Mr.. Armour visited German baths,
passed the cold months in Southern
California and devoted himself large
ly to an attempt to restore his health,
which, however, had been broken
never to be regained..
For several weeks the dead mil
ionaire had been living at the old
family home on Prairie avenue, the
usual trip to Southern California not
having been taken this winter. He
came down to the Office in the Home
Insurance building but seldom, and
as the cold increased he did not come
at all. 1t was understood in the Of
fee that he had an incipient attack

EIGHT MEN ARE DEAD
They Were Overcome in a Mime
apolis Hotel by Smoke.
Two Men Discovered the Fire and
Gave an Alarm-The Loss on the
Building and Contents Will
Not Exceed $4,000.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. Eight
men lost their lives in a fire at rs
Washington Avenue South at O'Clock
Sunday morning, which had its origin
in the rear of the Standard furniture
store. The men were overtaken by
an intense volume of smoke in the
Harvard hotel, which occupies the
second, third and fourth floors of
the building, and death in every in
stance was due to suffocation.
The fire was discovered by Charles
Hanson as he was about to go to his
room on the second floor. He imme
diately appraised George O'Connor,
the night clerk, and the two men set
about to awaken the dodgers.
Hanson devoted his attention to
the second floor, while O'Connor
rushed upstairs. The men were all
sound asleep, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that they were
aroused. In several instances it was
necessary for O'Connor to break in
the door In the meantime he gave
the alarm, and the warning soon
spread. O'Connor was finally forced
to beat a retreat because of the
smoke, and, after having done every
thing in his power, he ran down and
outside.
What took place in the dingy rooms
and narrow, dark Railways will never
be known. 1t was a case of every
man rushing for his own life. Nine
teen of the % dodgers were success
full, but the others were unable to
beat their way through the smoke,
succumbed and fell in their tracks,
where they were found by the fire
men. Many of those who escaped
came staggering out OH the snowy
sidewalk like drunken men, barely
making their way through the dead
~ smoke and heat, and only partially
clad. Several had narrow escapes.
The loss on the building and contents
win not exceed So 900.

of pneumonia, but it was given out
no later than a week ago that he
was on the road to recovery.
For several days death had been
feared as the outcome by the close
associates of the great captain Of
industry. They realized that the de-
cline from day to day did not cease,
and that there could be but one end.
When death came his grand children,
who had so close a place in his heart,
were at the family residence, as was
j. Ogden Armour. the surviving son.
The sudden death of his son and
namesake nearly a year ago hung
heavily on him during the closing
months of his life. In fact, he never
recovered from the shock he expert
enced from that event.
His treadmill of work and his firm
grip on affairs were maintained until
the spring of 1899. Then the machine
began to show signs of breaking. Mr..
Armour was reported to be a sick
man, and these reports were con-
firmed when he sailed for Germany
to take baths at Bad Naupeim. He
spent most of the summer at the
baths, and was sufficiently restored in
health to take a trip to Switzerland,
where he remained a month among
the mountains.
When he returned to Chicago that
fall he was looking well, and his
friends hoped his recovery was COM
plete.
The death of his son, Philip D. Ar
mour, IT., in Southern California. on
January 20, 1900, was a great shock
to the health-broken man. The son
had gone on a visit to his father and
was takenly suddenly i'll with pneu-
lnonia. His death followed with
scarcely n days warning. The son
had largely interested the father and
had inherited the business ability of
the Armours, and was closely follow
ing the footsteps of the head when
he was stricken down.
After the death of Philip D. Ar
mour, jr., the vast interests of Ar
mour e. Co., which had been carried
on as a co-partnership, were incor-
porated under the old name of Ar.
mour & Co. This was to provide
greater stability in case of death,
and made no change in the practical
ownership of properties.
The death of Simeon E. Armour at
Kansas City in March, 1899, caused
no particular change in the Armour
interests, as they were operated as a
stock company.
So carefully had the plans for the
future been made that the death of
Mr.. Armour will have little effect on
the outward working of the great en-
terprise with which he had been so
closely identified. 1t is believed all
the Armour properties will be held
intact until the grandchildren come
into their own.
Estimates of Mr.. Armour's own es-
tate run from $3O,OOO,OOO to $5O,OOO,-
600. This, of course, does not in
clude the $15,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 900
owned by the younger members of
his family. For years every enter
prise he was interested in has been
making immense profits. His hold
ings of stock have all advanced large
ly during the last three years.

A STRANGE PENSION STORY.
How the Widow of a Trooper Was
Made Beneficiary of Her
Own Act.

A pension has been allowed recently
to the widow of a soldier of the Sixth
United States cavalry for whose death
the beneficiary was responsible. While
this startling fact would seem to de-
bar the widow, the peculiar and inter
esting circumstances of the soldiers
demise rendered it proper for the pen
sion officials to pass favorably upon
her application. says the Washington
STIR.
1t appears that the soldier, according
to the coroner's verdict, came to his
death May z, 1888, through choking
with leather watch chain in the hands
of his wife while she was protecting
her life. The widows statement before
the jury disclosed a remarkable series
of incidents, and was zorro borated in
all essential respects by other wit
nesses. She testified that her husband
had been drinking heavily for a week.
She had gone to him at II o'clock and
told him that dinner was ready. BE
made no response, and after the meal
was finished. and the diners had gone,
he came and told her to prepare dinner
at once. She at first demonstrated,
but observing a strange look upon his
face became frightened and began TO
do as commanded. The husband then
said. with an oath, that he was going
20 kiln her, and struck her, knocking
her against the table. The wife then
fed from the house, thinking to find
some of the men about the place who
would quiet or restrain her husband
She ran to a field where men we're pillow
ing and besought their Interference or
protection. They refused, saying they
could do nothing with the man. Mean
time he had gathered up the baby.
mounted a horse and followed in pur-
suit of her. The husband rode up to his
wife, who begged him not to hurt her.
He replied, with an oath, that he would
break her bones and would kill her;
that she must die. He then threw the
baby to the ground, pulled his six
shooter from his belt, tried to make his
horse run over her, and reached out try
ing to strike her with his revolver. As
he leaned over he fell from his horse
to the ground on his side and back. In.
falling he fell against his wife, knock
ing her down. She jumped up. threw
herself upon her husband, intending to
get his revolver away from him. She
laid hold of his leather watch chain,
" hich he wore around his neck. This
leather guard fastened with a slip knot.
The wife clutched the chain with one
hand and with the other held one of her
husbands hands She was exhausted.
and lay in that condition for four or
five minutes He did not struggle, but
made a queer noise in his throat.
When the woman recovered she arose,
hid the revolver and ran to the house.
When the men went to where her hus-
band lay they found him dead. The
wife had Internationally stTangled
her husband. Her pension has been
granted, and to-day she is drawing
eight dollars a month.
