Just as the minister had finished the ben
ediction and before any of the worshpers
had left the church, Lee, who was sitting
behind Miss Suttle, leaned forward and
fired at her. The first ball entered her back
but no vital part was reached and an in
slant later Lee fired again, killing the girl
instantly.
While the churchgoers stood astounded,
Lee backed out of the door and started for
the woods. On the way he met a man
named Childress to whom he confessed the
murder and asked Childress to take the re-
tention to the young man and passed on.
Lee went next 10 his fathers house,
where he again told the story of the trag-
edy, and, securing 500, started away. AS
soon the worshipers at the chapel real

HANGED BY A MOB.
The White Murderer of william Grow
at Paris, Mo.

PARIS, Mo-, May 25.-Abe Witherup, a
white man, the murderer of William Grow
who was killed last m onth, was taken from
the Paris Jail at 2 o'clock this morning
marched to the bridge on the north edge
of town and hanged by a mob of more
than hundred men, who rode quietly into
town at midnight
The mob went at once to the JAIL but
were held back for more than an hour by
Sheriff James w. Clark and Deputies Mar
tin Clark and Polk Masterson, who stood
before the entrance to the Jail stockade
with drawn revolvers and threatened to
shoot the first man who attempted to force
entrance The mob remained in front
of the jail for nearly two hours parleying
with the officers and finally marching
but believed that the mob had dsbanded.
About 2 o'clock several men approached
and engaged the sheriff and his deputies in
conversation. Then suddenly before the
officers could defend themselves they were
seized, disarmed and carried away. The
mob then quickly reappeared. surrounded
the Jail again and with sledge hammers
battered down the big iron doors. This
was the work of but a few minutes.
James II. Whtecotton, state representa-
tive, rushed into the Jail as soon as the
doors gave way and made a stirring ap-
peal to the mob to deSist and allow the law
TO take its course. The leaders wavered
for a moment and became quiet and would
probably have spared the prisoners life
but for the cries for vengeance set up by
those in the rear. Mr.. Whitecotton was
swept aside, and in a few minutes Wither-
up was secured. He admitted his guilt
and was taken and hanged.

spirit of SO and '76 found wonderful ex-
preston In 81, and you are the represent
atives Of that heroic spirit.
The women who remained al home were
engaged in doing three things. They slim
ulated patriotism; they responded TO our
countrys call as truly as did the men; they
encouraged husbands and fathers TO en-
list Tney thrilled people by pathetic let
ters from the front, and their enthusiastic
devotion TO the cause made IL almost impos-
sible for a deserter or coward to return.
Mothers like the mother Of Mary Holland
encouraged their daughters TO go TO the
front. saying: Go, my child; tell the dy-
ing boys about God and heaven They
were forwarding supplies. The $92.OOO,OOO
raised for the Sanitary Commission was
largely the fruitage of these loyal women.
They took their last blankets and some
times their last garments that the heroes
I'm arms might be comfortable. Even the
little children raised 100000 They were
suffering anguish. No one can describe the
awful anxiety as to where father, brother
known grave or lying wounded on some
bloody field. Ii was a crushing burden to
these womanly hearts. In the Jefferson
Barracks Hospital a mother was seated
beside the cot OF a dying man. With aw-
full anguish she said: This is my seventh
son. Six have died on the field and the
doctor says this one must die tonight
''Dorothea Dix, superintendent OF govern
ment nurses. made some rather strange
requirements. She demanded that no
woman under thirty might serve; that all
dresses must be brown or black, with no
bows. or furbelows or jewelry, or hoop
skirts. Many women responded and they
did three great things
They nursed the sick. Many a nurse
supported lovingly dying boys I'm her arms.
Many a soldier who was given up 10 die was
nursed back TO life by these angels OF
mercy. Many women like Mother Bicker-
dyke were present on the field and in the
hospital ministering TO the suffering. They
comforted lonely hearts. Like Mrs. Hoge. at
Nicksburg, singing with the soldiers, telling
OF the love and honor in which they were
held at home and leading soldiers TO de-
clare that IL there was nothing else 10 cheer
them they could still fight another year
because OF her inspiring words. They were
engaged In saving lost souls. Helen ellison
would kneel on the field and whisper God $
promise into the ear OF a dying man. She
would sing the sweet songs of the church
into their stilling hearts. Many poor boys
passed into the valley or the shadow of
death while their heads lay on her shoulder
As to the veterans who remain let us
do three things. Let us relieve their neces-
stiles, perpetuate their patriotism and seek
their salvation

SULLIVAN, Ind, May 25.-Judge d. w.
Henry. OF Terre Haute, representing the
allied companies of the United States Steel
Corporation, has closed a deal by which
the corporation will enter the coal fields of
Sullivan county. The representatives or
the corporation have been prospecting in
a large area of the coal fields OF this
county and in the adjacent fields. deal
has been consummated by which they Sc
cure from 1000 to 200 acres Of the richest
coal field in this part OF the State, situ-
ated east of the city. 1t is understood
that the corporation will not take up
further options
The purpose OF the company is not III
vulged, but the most plausible conclusion,
and the one generally accepted here, is
that 1t will work the field by the operation
Of extensive mines, intended to supply It's
own fuel needs. The Effingham division OF
the Illinois Central penetrates the new
field. but a new railroad will be extended
at an opportune time.
This is the largest aggregation of capital
TO enter the coal fields of Indiana, and
means much for the future Of Sullivan
county, which it's citizens feel is the Ell
dorado" of Indiana's coal fields.

immigration and Anti-Anarchy Bills
to Be First Considered.

WASHINGTON, May 3-Under the spe-
cfal order adopted last week. the bill to
regulate immigration will have the right of
way over all measures, except appropria-
ton bills, revenue bills and conference re-
ports. Debate on this bill probably will be
resumed on Tuesday, Monday being set
aside for the consideration of measures
coming from the committee on the District
of Columbia, but, should it appear that the
immig grafton bill can be disposed of on
Monday, Chairman Babcock. of the District
of Columbia committee. may yield Monday
to the immigration BILL taking the day
following for district matters. After the
immigration bill is out of the way the COM
mittee on rules will report a special order
for the consideration of the anti-anarchy
bill or as it known, on the bill for the
protection of the President of the United
States and to prevent crime against gov
ernment." This will be followed by the
subsidiary coinage bill. 1t is anticipated
by the leaders of the House that these
measures will occupy the entire week, in
which event the Pacific cable bill will not
be reached until the first week in June.
It, in turn. will be followed by the irriga-
ton bill. the committee on rules having
agreed to report special rules for the con-
sideration of these measures in the order
named.
