Innings, which were mistaken FOR
flames, though they were only caused
by the rays of the rising sun, and
threw the people into CONSERVATION.
The Sea Receded.
"At noon the sea began to recede,
with a heavy ground swell tossing the
shipping so severely that vessels
broke from their moorings. Then a
long, rolling wave spread over the
sea front. 1t did little damage, how
ever, and the sea again receded and
left a considerable area of the shore
permanently uncovered. At the same
time the ash rain became twice as
violent, and pebbles fell. They were
followed by pieces of heavy rock,
some of which weighed from three
to twelve pounds each.
Panic-Stricken People.
"The panic-stricken people rushed
out of their houses, some making for
the mountains in the interior of the
islands and others seeking to escape
on board the shipping in port.
"The scene was one of the widest
confusion. Whole families assembled
on the jetties and along the beach,
nearly all Of them falling on their
knees and screaming forth appeals
for boats to take them to the steam
ers, to which some OF the men swan
off,"

MISSOURI MOB VIOLENCE.
Taken From the Jail mt Paris,
Mo-, and Hanged.

Kansas City, No., May GA spe,
cial to the journal from Paris, dated
yesterday, says:
ABE Witherup, the alleged murder
er of William Grow, who was killed
last month, was taken from the
Paris Jail at two o'clock this morn
ing, marched to the bridge on the
north edge of the town and hanged
by a mob of more than a 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..
Clarke and Deputies Martin Clark
and Polk Masterson, who stood be-
fore the entrance to the Jail stockade
with drawn revolvers and threatened
to shoot the first man who attempted
to force an entrance. The mob re-
manned in front of the Jail for nearly
two hours parleying with the officers,
finally marching away. The officers
remained on guard, but believed that
the mob had disbanded.
About two o'clock several men ap-
preached and engaged the sheriff and
his deputies in conversation. Then
suddenly, before the officers could de-
fend themselves they were seized, dis
armed and carried away.
"The mob then quickly reappeared,
surrounded the Jail again, and, with
seldge hammers, battered down the
big iron doors. This was the work of
but a few minutes. James HI. White
cotton, state representative, rushed
into the Jail as soon as the doors
gave way and made a stirring appeal
to the mob to desist and allow the
law to take it's course. The leaders
wavered for a minute and became
quiet and would probably have
spared the prisoners life, but for
the frenzied cries for vengeance set
up by those in the rear.
'Mr. Whitecotton was swept aside,
and in a few minutes Witherup was
secured. The culprit made no resist
ance, and in reply to questions con-
fessed his guilt. The father and

mob, and assisted in escorting the
man to the bridge, a quarter of a
mile away.
"At the bridge Witherup's feet were
tied by the brother of the murdered
man while the senior Grow adjusted
the rope about his neck and pushed
him off the structure.
"Witherup's neck was broken by
the fall. His death was almost in
Simultaneous. Their work done. the
mob left the body hanging and dis
persed quickly and quietly. Coroner
Johnson cut the body down this
morning"

WORLDS FAIR CONSTRUCTION.
Three Great Exhibit Buildings Are
Now In Course of Erection
At the Fair Site.

st. Louis, May 24.-Another expo-
sition palace, that of electricity,
showed its first wall Thursday, MAX
ing three exhibit buildings now in
Il of construction. The founda-
tons of the machinery palace are in
place, and before the end of the week
its walls will have been started. Sun
day visitors to the site will see the
beginning of four great buildings.
Only Is feet of the channelway of
the River des Peres remains to be
completed. The last spike will be
driven in the coming week. The mas
sive bulkhead at the western end of
the channelway, where it forms a
junction with the old river bed, has
been put into place, and the river is
now being carried through a ten-inch
sewer pipe into the sewage system of
the exposition. The bulkhead is on
structed of heavy timber framing in
100 piles, each 81 feet long, driven in
to the fire clay.
Some comment has been caused by
the change inr the method of con-
struction of the west end of the pal
ace of varied industries. The reason
for the change is that the west end
of the structure will not have a
~colonnade. Persons approaching the
palace from the west will get a view
entirely different from that obtained
by those approaching from the east.
Standing inside the four walls of
the varied industrial palace, all of
which are now marked on the surface
by uprights, the spectators can OBJ
tain an adequate idea of the size of
this tremendous building. To one
standing near the western wall, the
workmen on the ~scatfolding of the
eastern wall look like pygmies. When
the building is complete, this sweep
of view will be cut by the great court
in the center of the building. The
court is marked plainly by the foot
ings, which can be seen from an ele-
walton.

In a recent letter to DIR. Hartman
Congressman Botkin says:
my Dear Doctor-It gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines-Peruna
and Manalin. l have been afflicted
more or less for a quarter of O century
with catarrh of the stomach and con-
stipation. A residence in Washington
has increased these troubles. A few
bottles of your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and 1 am sure
that a continuation of them will effect
a permanent cure. j. d. Botkin.
Mr.. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real
estate agent, of Augusta, Ca, writes:
81 have been a great sufferer from
catarrhal dyspepsia. I tried many ply
sicians, visited a good many springs,
but l believe Peruna has done o
for me than ali of the above put
together. IfeeI like a new persona
l.. F. Verdery.
The most common form of summer
catarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This
is generally known as dyspepsia.
Peruna cures these cases like magic.
If you do not derive promptan salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

A REMARKABLE ACCIDENT,
An Engine Performed n Fent the
Like of Which Has Never
Been Recorded.

st. Louis, May 24.-At 1886 Friday
morning % cars, heavily loaded with
grain, passed over the Merchants
bridge. Engine 81 was pulling, En-
CINE 6S pushing. All went well until
the head engine reached the steep
grade at the east end of the bridge.
Then. without any seeming reason,
Engine 81 jumped the track.
Before the front wheels had fairly
left the track they were sent flying
in the air by the communicated force
of the real engine. For a moment
they hung there. like the paws of a
huge elephant, the rear wheesl mean.
while running along on the track at
a frightful velocity. Fireman Tooley
leaped for his life, and was seriously
injured. Engineer Linquist, with a
grim determination, remained in the
cab,
Then something happened which
has never happened before, probably
never will again, and is entirely mex
p%licable. The front wheels suddenly
veering to the light, slowly descend.
ed, while the rear wheels in turn
ascended until the stress broke the
heavy iron coupling between the see
ond and third cars. In another min
ute the ponderous engine had turned
itself completely around and leaped
squarely onto the track running
parallel to the one from which it had
taken its flight.
With steam kissing from twisted
pipes the engine started on a wild
race to death and destruction in an
opposite course. Down the track of
the bridge it sped, passed the rest
of the train, turned off the bridge, and
rapidly approached the foot of Bre.
men street. Linquist leaned from the
cab window and walked.
At Bremen the engine tottered, and
with a final exhaust of steam that
sounded like a sigh, fell calmly over
On its side.
When the rescuing party forced it's
way into the bank of steam, Linquist
was found at his post of duty, with
one hand still clutching the lever.
His back was broken. At the city hos.
pital, a few hours later, he passed
away without recovering conscious
ness. He was 27, unmarried. Too
ley, who will recover is married and
has a family.

RELATIONS l CUBA.
Senate Committee Continues to Fake

Washington, May 23.-The senate

yesterday heard Frank III. Hitchcock,
chief of the bureau of foreign mar
kets of the agricultural department.,
regarding the beet sugar industry,
and, also, Andrew w. Preston, Of

Co.
Mr.. Hitchcock's testimony was in
the nature of an explanation of GER
tain tables prepared by him and
which were referred to by Special
Agent Saylor, who had appeared be-
fore a committee of the house.
Mr.. Preston stated that his ,.,m-

HEAD.

Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. w. III. McFalls has been suffer-
ing severely for two years with an
ailment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and was
agreeably surprised to find that the
burning gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid
him up for the last few weeks, but
Dodd's Kidney Pills have banished
his old trouble entirely.
His son George used a few of the
Pills which his father did not need
and they have done so much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents pill for the few he still has left.

collection of funds in this city for
the relief of the sufferers of the vol.
canic eruptions in the West Indies de-

DEVASTATED ST. VINCENT.
The Whole Island Said to Resemble
n VeritabIe sahara.

London, May 23.-The correspon.
dent of the Daily Mail at Kingstown,
island of st. Vincent, describes, in q
dispatch, the conditions on that is
land. He says that 60 per cent. OF
the persons injured can not recover.
The whole island resembles a Sahara
and the graves of humans and the
remains of animals are seen on every
side. Owing to the difficulty of
breathing the correspondent could
not get near La Soufriere. Every
where on the island the rivers have
been stopped by the dust or lava,
and in one valley the dust lies &C
feet deep. Most of the deaths on
st. Vincent were caused by a blast
of heated, sulphurous air. The au-
thorities have ascertained, continues
the correspondent, that the ruraor
that another crater had been furmed
by the eruption of last Monday is
untrue.
