LYNCH LAW
Was 1t Named After the Mayor, James
s. Fltzstephens Lynch, Of
B.. Galway?
Pittsburg Gazette.


: Pittsburg Gazette.
About the year 1900 one James Fitz-
stephens Lynch was mayor of the town
OF Galway, In Ireland. He had sent his
son on trading expedition to Spain with
a good cargo and a large sum Of money.
Inc young man returned with a ship
load Of valuable commodities, which he
reported as having been purchased with
the money and with the proceeds Of the
outgoing cargo. After some time a Span
lard came along, demanding ipayment
from the mayor for the goods he alleged
had been bought on credit by his son.
The mayor declined payment, as his son
averred he had paid in cash for the goods
Unfortunately for the latter, a sailor who
had been one of the crew, on examina-
ton by Mayor Lynch, declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless de-
bauchely not only the money intrusted
to him, but the proceeds of the cargo as
well; that he then bought goods from a
large firm on credit, and that when one
of the partners of the firm came down
money, young Lynch murdered the man
and had him thrown overheard to conceal
the facts from his father.
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought here before his ia
Their, who, Notwithstanding the fearful
entreaties Of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted rope
around his neck, having first secured it
inside, and then pushed the young man
out Of the window, where his dying strug-
giles were witnessed by the inhabitants
Of the town Of Galway: In the town rec
ords the entry is yet to be seen:
) James Lynch, mayor Of Galway,
hanged HIS own son out Of the window
for defrauding and killing strangers,
without. martial or common law, to show
a good example to posterity."
It may be from that incident that lynch
law took its name. It is not a peculiar
American Institution, as is commonly
countries.
The English had a walled town in
Devonshire, of the name of Lydford,
which became noted for the summary
punishments inflicted on notorious Of
Tenders. They became proverbial in Eng
land as Lydford law, and it is not i'm
possible that lynch may be a corruption

AN EYE FOR A TOOTH.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 10.-In paper read
before the State Medical society, L. Webster
Fox, Of Philadelphia, said that blindness
often had its -source in the extraction OF
teeth. The medium by which the teeth, eyes
and ears are connected is the fifth nerve.
Eye diseases are often cured by treatment
being applied to the teeth. This is also true
vice versa. The teeth are affected by q
strained eye, and dentists often have trouble
in such cases to find the cause Of the aiIment.

the French and Italian governments are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of postponing
until autumn the visit Of the King Of
Italy to Paris, owing to the condition Of
