CHAPTER XVIII.

1t was an unhappy chance for the in-
surgent cause that left the mob gath
cred in the city free to work its will.
1t has prejudiced the leaders with
posterity, and at the time it destroyed
all prospect of good result from the
concessions of the king.
After all, the lawless violence of the
mob, delirious and ruthless as it was,
restrained itself within limits that do
not appear 80 excessive when compared
with what their betters we're in the
habit OF doing with more decorous form
and ceremony of justice. Four more
victims of distinction were added to
their list of executions, all typical men
in the government that had become 20
hateful. Sir Robert Hales, the king .
treasurer; Sir John Leg, the tax com.
missioner; Richard Lyons, notorious
monopolist and jobber OF the public
revenues; and Friar VIM. Appledore,
whose crime was being the confessor Of
John of Gaunt. This exemplary sacri-
fee OF heads was not more incorporate
than we find customary with the most
highly respectable factions Of mobiles
and prelates when they gained the mp
per hand, and proceeded to change
of government. Such changes seldom
took place in the middle ages without
some judicial slaughter of the weaker
party. Seven years later one Of the
kings uncles was master OF the situa-
ton, and several of those who advised
Richard in Furnishing the rebel peasants
were doomed to death by the axe or the
slower torture OF exile. Sir Simon
Burley, De la Pole, Tresilian, the
kings favorite, young De We're, and
the doughty alderman, Sir Nicholas
Bramber, were not more guilty than
Sudbury or Hales when they fell before
the ambition Of the Duke OF Gloucester
as corrupt and dangerous traitors; the.
had a more formal impeachment and n
more protracted trial. but their judges
e.not less prejudiced. There was in
truth more of the spirit OF justice in
the rough retribution of King Mob,
who in all matters of procedure gem
orally follows the fashion OF his social
su2eriors.
But though the reign OF terror was
thus far not indiscriminate, but regu-
lated by precedent, it was not to be ex-
pected that the upper classes, who were
furious at the idea OF emancipating the
serfs, and were beginning to recover
from their first panic when they saw
that the simple rustics were less form
liable than had at first appeared, it
was not to be expected that they would
miss the advantage given them by the
riots for bringing over the waverers
among their own number to a firner
policy. The leaders of the insurgents
were not really responsible for the ex-
cesses of the mob within the walls
while they lay without, but the excuses
OF the mob could be made to cover the
whole movement.
The reaction was headed by the
mayor, and the leading aldermen OF
} the city, Walworth and Bramber and
} Philpot. who from the first had de-

Few English College SOnos

The conspicuous scarcity of charac-
teristic songs in British as compared
with German universities is probably
due to other causes besides the relative
indifference to musical culture of Brit
ish youth.
The undergraduate of Oxford or
Cambridge does not take himself with
that prodigious seriousness which char.
acterizes the student of Bonn or lena
and is not naturally inclined to regard
his university career as a separate idyl-

HE WAS TIED TO THE TRACK.
italian Said to Have Been Poisoned
Was Seized by Unknown Men
and Placed on Track.

New York, June 16.-An Italian who
was known here as Kalo Ka Cattapani,
Marquis de Cordevia, disappeared from
his obarding house in this city last Sat
urday night. He was found early today
tied to the tracks of the New York
Central railroad at One Hundred and
Fifteenth street and the North river.
He was taken to a hospital, where he
made a statement. A hospital physi-
clan said he believed the man had been
poisoned.
When he came here Cattapani said he
was searching for papers which would
prove his right to a valuable estate in
Spain. Last Saturday he told the pro-
bis boarding house in this city last Sat-
was going to meet a man who would
give him the papers needed in return
for a reward of 500.
C~attapani told the hospital physicians
that he had been kidnapped, drugged
and kept in a cellar since Saturday
without food. The police are investi-
eating and Cattapani is held temporar-
lily as a suspicious person.

DATE SET FOR THE CHANGE.
Burlington Sets June 90 as Day for
Changing Gauge in Burlington
& Western Track.

Omaha, June 1S.-The guage
of the Burlington & Western track will
be changed June 20. But few trains
will be delayed, as it is now planned
to have the entire track changed from
Burlington to Oskaloosa in ten hours
time. In the morning a narrow gauge
train will run over the road for the last
time and in the evening a broad guage
train will speed over the rails. The
rails are already in place, having been
changed several years ago and all that
is now necessary is to take up the
spikes and widen the track and spike
down the rails again. Early on Sun
day morning, June 20, narrow guage
trains will start from each end of the
line and fourteen men will be dropped
off every four miles. The main line
and side tracks will all be laid by
night. 1t will take $50 men to do the
work.

u. S. STEEL TRUST APPEALS.
New Jersey Injunction Against the
Corporation Regarding CONVEX
sion OF Stock Into Bonds.

Newark, n. j., June 17.-Vice Chanc-
ellor Emery today gave an oral opin-
ion making a temporary injunction Sc
cured a week ago by Miriam Berger of
Sullivan county, N. Y, permanent. The
injunction restraints the United States
Steel corporation from retiring $780,
000, 900 of preferred stock and issuing
$3.50. 000, 900 in bonds instead. R. ".
Lindabury, counsel for the United
States Steel corporation, gave notice of
appeal.
1t was agreed by counsel for both
sides that the form of order for the APP
peal would be submitted to the court
late this afternoon. In his opinion the
vice chancellor held that the retire
ment of stodks constituted a preferen-
tial reduction of corporate capital
among those asserting to the plan and
a corresponding impairment of the
rights of thote not asserting. Accord
ing to this chhncellor's decision on pre-
ferred stock holders have vested prop
erty rights, which cannot be impaired
by a board pf directors without the
consent of tie holders Of preferred

Excelsior Springs, Mo-, June 16.-
curious people who drive across the
country from Excelsior Springs to the
James farm this summer will have one
disappointment. They will not see
Zerelda Samuels, mother of the James
boys, who has always been an object
of even more interest than Jesse's
grave or the Genes of his youthful ex-
ploits.
For years it has been Mrs. Samuels'
custom to show visitors over the farm.
She would lead them through her lit
tie parlor. where she would exhibit the
family photographs. Then she would
take them to the back yard and point
out the exact tree under which the.
Yankees caught Jesse and gave him a
beating.
Finally she would conduct them to
Jesse's grave, where, after reciting it's
history, she would launch into a fierce.
bitter excoriation of Yankees" detec-
tives and newspaper reporters, the
equal of which could be heard nowhere
else. In recent years Mrs. Samuels has
rapidly grown more and more feeble.
A few months ago old DR.. Samuels
became insane and was taken to the
asylum at St Joseph, and she was left
alone. She has finally quit her watch
over Jesse's grave, which she used to
fear ghouls would desecrate for the pur-
pose of getting her sons skull: has
rented her farm and is living at a hotel
in Kearney. 1t is said she is thinking
of having Jesse's body removed from
the home place to the graveyard at
Kearney, where his wife is buried.
The historic old house in which her
children were born and reared still
stands, but the front of it has been cut
off and moved to one side and a new
addition has been built where it stood.
Until a short time ago the farm looked
as it did when 1t was Frank and Jesse's
home, but a few more changes will
make it like those which surround it
and will cause it to lose most of it's
interest for the curiosity seekers" as
Mrs. Samuels calls them.

pany, this morning. He is now in the
Lackawenna hospital with a rifle ball
in his right leg.
There had been trouble at the COL
liery Saturday night. A crowd of men,
mostly foreigners, had gathered and
approached the guards, throwing stones.
The guards fired over their heads and
frightened them away. Later two of
the guards were arrested and held un-
der bail for carrying weapons. After
that there was no further trouble until
Robinson was making his rounds. Then
three or four shots rang out, Inc he
fell wounded. Other guards rushed in

fired, but the shooters had escaped. The
company is now using its best detectives
to find them. A reward of $1,000 has
been offered for their arrest
The strike began today without a
ripple to disturb the calmness of the
situation. Rain fell nearly all day,
which helped to keep the more than
10000 idle men and boys in doors.
Several reports Of assaults on work
ingmen and coal and iron policemen
were received from different sections,
but no one was reported seriously in
jured. Most Of the attacks occur I'M
der v Of darkness or at the start
ing time in the morning. 1t vas ex-
pected that today would witness the re-
fusal of a large number of fire bosses
and other mine bosses to go to work,
but the best information obtainable
shows that the number who quit was
not large.
Several superintendent asserted that
they had more men at Arokment at the
engines and pumps thar they had last
week. President Mitchell and other lab
or leaders question this assertion and
claim that nearly half of the men at
work on Saturday refused to go into
the collieries today. Neither side gave
out any figures.
