Grain Firm Fails.

San Francisco, June 8.-Eppinger &
Co. of this city, one Of the largest
grain dealing firms in the United
States, have gone to the wall.
The crash came suddenly and for a
time threatened to completely upset
the local grain market. AS 1t was, the
announcement of the failure caused a
big bobbing of prices on change and
wrought up such excitement as has
not been witnessed on the floor for
many years.
1t is thought the money losses Of the
firm may run up into the millions,
while London, Paris and American
banking houses with which it deals
will also, it is said, suffer heavily.

BURNED BY FRENzlED MOB.
Half Dead Negro, Saturated With OH,
Thrust Into Fire.

thrust IUSo Tues
Belleville, ILL.,, June S.-W. T. Wyatt,
a negro school teacher, was lynched
here for shooting and MORALLY wound
ing County Superintendent Charles
Hertel of st. Clair county. Hertel had
refused to renew the teaching certifi-
cate of Wyatt, and the negro came into
his Office and attacked him.
Wyatt was Immediately arrested and
taken to jail. Two hours later mob
stormed the jail, secured the negro
and despite the appeals of the mayor
and other officials he was hanged.
Hertel was removed to the hospital,
there the physicians probed for the
bullet, but he stated there is no hope
for his recovery. A young man named
Fielder was in the office during the
shooting. He grappled with Wyatt,
but the negro beat him off with the
butt of his revolver, infiicting severe
wound. Before he was hanged Wyatt
asserted the shooting was the result
Of political grudge.
The mob hanged Wyatt to tele-
phone pole in the public square. Even
while his body was in the throes Of
strangulation, members of the mob be-
gan building a fire at the foot of the
pole. The flames flared up and licked
at the feet Of the victim, but this did
not satisfy the mob, and another and
larger fire was started. When it had
been burning briskly the negro, still
half alive, was cut down and after be.
.ng covered with coal oil he was thrust
into the fire. Means of pain were
heard from the half dead victim of
the mob, and these served to further
.nfuriate his tortures. They fell upon
lim with clubs and knives and cut
and beat the burning body almost to
pieces, and not until every sign of life
had departed did they desist and per-
nit the flames to devour the body. AS
the fire lighted up the scene the mem
bers of the mob stood around the fire
hurting fagots into the flames and de-
uouncing the negro Ior the shooting

Wa. a Mere Technically.

Senator Joe Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, like most of the people of the
blue grass state, is fond of a good
story and tells this one:
'some years ago populist named
Kirby got into the house. He was a
bright lawyer, but he knew little
about finance. When the bill provid-
ing for new issue of pal money
was under discussion the item for
payment to the men supervising the
maceration of old paper money came
up. Col. Kirby arose to make few
remarks.
Gentlemen of the house," he said,
II am opposed to this. I am against
this here maceration. Here they go
to work and do something or other
with millions and billions of money
billions, gentlemen, just think of
that-billions Of money"
'Hold on there" interposed Repre-
sentative Culberson, don't you mean
millions instead of billions?"
Kirby turned tiercely to Culberson,
shook his fist at him and shouted:
.'That's right; that's right. Go
ahead. You want to win this. fight
on, technicalities. Chicago Chron-
icle.

IT WORRIED HIM.
The Nervous. Little Man objected to
the Fat Lady Moving From One
Side of the Train to the other.

The railway from Edinburg to Ba-
lerno reaches its objective by series
of curves. These curves are so sud-
den and so sharp that the rail, first
on one side and then the other, is
considerably raised, as is necessary
whenever a railway takes sharp
turn. To the inexperienced traveller,
the journey is rather exciting, as the
carriage seems to be about to fall
over first on one side, then on the
other. Often the regular passengers
on the route are greatly amused by
the looks of alarm on the faces of
those who are making the journey for
the first time. One day, says Lon
don exchange, fat woman with big
basket sat on one side of third-class
carriage, and a little thin, nervous
looking man on the other. She kept
in the middle of the seat till, glanc.
ing at the windows, she noticed some
picturesque bits of scenery. She
shifted to one side to be nearer the
window, and as she did so down went
the carriage on that side, and the
little man held his breath and
clutched his seat. In little time the
view was at it's best on the other
side, and she moved across to the
other window. Just at that moment,
as it happened, an opposite curve
sent the carriage down on that side.
''For the love of Heaven, sit in the
middle, or We'll a be coupit," gasped
the little man.

pride in his tone. "I've saved for

one, an she's going to have one now.
thought you might not understand -
He sat up very straight on the bed
as he spoke, and began folding up the
rich fabric with something like a
caress. The flush had not yet left his
face.
Littlefield strobe to the one small
window and looked out into the night
with dim. unseeing eyes.
II don't see why we shouldn't I'M
derstand," said Jelly, in slightly
offended tone. II guess we have
mothers, too"
He ceased rather suddenly as he
remembered the sad-eyed, lonely wo-
man so far away from him now. He
thought of the letters, few and short,
that found their way to the city
where that mother lived.
'Aliss Bye is going to make the
dress. She selected it for me-" Ran
dali said to the student. Once started,
he was rapidly losing his reserve.
Littlefield came slowly back from
the window.
"My mother died two years ago"
he said. 81 could have given her
things, but it always seemed to me
could spare nothing at the time.
After she died, came across a
whistle I had whitfield out for her
when was tiny child, and little
pearl-handled knife bought with the
first quarter I ever owned They
were laid. away with few pieces Of
jewelry, the most precious treasures
she owned. Those two things were
the only presents ever gave her. I
think understand"
They were silent for long time
after Littlefield had spoken.
Randall took the parcel Of silk to
the tiny, old-fashioned trunk kept
under the bed for lack of space, and

WHAT HE LEARNED.
ouail on Toast was Not such q. IN:

Supposed.

In the wire grass region Of Georgia quail
are very abundant, and are known to the ma
tives as cartridges" says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
Recently one of the south Georgia "crack-
ers" sold off lot of turpentine land and de-
cided to indulge himself in trip to far off
New York while his money was still in hand.
Once in the amazing metropolis, there was
another indulgence he was determined on.
Delmonico's was a name that had long ago
tickled his fancy, and quail on toast was .
high bred dish that he had long yearned to
know personally.
So to Delmonico's he hied himself, and
he eyed it severely, then tasted, finally
ssmpling thoroughly. But his after com.
ment on the feast savored of that sad knowl-
edge which borders close to Disgust:
"Wall, eff I hadn't come to New York Ia
never knowed that quail on toast warn't .
blamed thing but Glynn county pa'tridHes
stuck up on burnt light bread"

SANITY Weather Prophets.

In the reign of Henry VIII. n proc
lamation was issued against almanac
makers encouraging the belief in
saints ruling the weather. Notwith-
standing this and similar efforts to
explode popular notion, certain
saints day are, however, still sup
posed to assist in what may be called
long distance forecasts. St. Cath.
arine, whose festival falls on Novem.
Der IS. is such 9 saint, for "as at
Catharine, foul or fair, SO will be the
next February" Yesterday there
were all sorts Of weather, the ele-
ments being under; the control of q
gale that was clustering in the west,
Halos, too, havet recently been seen
round the moon, so that the omens
for a fair st. Catkarine's day
were not very satisfatcory-London
