STRUNG UP.
Mob at oxford. o., Is Cheated Out
of Its Prey Several Men Fatally
Vounded.

Oxford, O., Oct. "A mob last
night broke open the Jail and took
Joseph Spivey to an elm tree one
square away, on which Henry
Corbin was lynched in 1892.
Spivey was strung up and let down
to pray, and while he was pleading
for time to write to his wife.
Deputy Sheriff Brennan and a few as
sistants rushed forward, cut the rope
ard dashed down the street with the
prisoner. He was rushed to the iail
and has been spirited out of town.
John Spivey, his brother, is dying
with a bullet through his head. f. V,
letter, who lives at Monroe, o., is
also fatally wounded.
The trouble arose out of a disturb
ance created by John Spivey and
Joseph Spivey, who came over from
Kentucky with some friends and be-
gan shooting on the streets of Oxford
during the progress of a fair. The
village marshal and his deputy at
tempted to arrest them and were
both wounded. The crowd then pur-
sued the Spivey brothers with shot
guns. The men were ovcTtaken after
Joseph had been shot in the right
side and John knocked unconscious
with a stone. letter was shot in
the abdomen.
Oxford, Oct. 3.-Two of the men
shot Thursday night are in critical
condition and the third is not yet out
of danger.
John Woodruff, the marshal of Ok
ford, is resting easy, but the physi-
cfans are still apprehensivc of his case.
Ernest Jotten, the school teacher, is
unconscious and no hope for him is
expressed by the attending physician
In the case of Jacob Manrod. deputy
town marshal, complications make
his recovery doubtful.
The town is quiet and no further
trouble is apprehended. Owing to
the critical condition of the Spivey
brothers no steps have been taken
for their preliminary trial

COAL PRODUCTION.
The Output During 1902 Amounted
to More Than 3OO.OOO.OOO Tons.

Washington, Oct. IA preliminary
statement showing the coal produc-
tion of the United States, prepared
by Edward W. Parker, statiStician, has
just been issued by the United States
geological survey. 1t shows that for
the first time in the history of the
United States the production of coal
has reached a total of over 300, ,000.-
600 short tons. the actual showing
being 3O0,93O,659 tons. valued at S313,-
1888.
The output of anthracite coal
amounted to 36.S65,7lO long tons
equivalent TO 4l,2S9.595 short tons) a
decrease of 32,376, $50 long tons, or al
most 40 per cent. from 1901. This de-
crease was due entirely to the Sus-
pension of operations by the strike in
the anthracite region. The value at
the mines of the anthracite product
in 1902 amounted to SS1.O16,931, as
against 112.5O4.O2O in 1901. The
average value of the marketed coal
sold during the year at the mines was
So 30 per long ton, the value in 1901
having been $2.0j.
The output of bituminous coal
amounted in 1902 to 259.641, ,O64 short
tons, valued at S292, ,1l6, ,9OG. as against
225.S2G,S49 short tons, valued at S23G,-
4O6,449, in 1901.
The production of bituminous
coal in Pennsylvania in 1902 exceeded
that of 1901 by 15,755,S74 short tons.
but was not sufficient to overcome
the great loss in anthracite produc-
ton.
The states in which the more i'm
portant increases in coal production
occurred were Illinois, which gained
5,j47,151 short tons, or a little more
than 20 per cent. over 1901; Colorado,
whose increase was 21,314.412 short
tons, or over 40 per cent; Ohio, with
gain of 2,444.577 short tons, not
quite II per cent: Indiana. with an
increase of 2,267,371 short tons, or
nearly SO per cent

CLEVELAND AND INDIANA.
There Is Hardly SAtA In the HoosieK
state to Raise q Demo-
cratic Boom.

There is information in trust cir.
cles that the Indiana democrats are
turning TO Mr.. Cleveland Convinced,
it is said, that Mr.. Roosevelt is daily
losing ground in conservative circles
in his own party, and that a strong
nomination by their party will bring
the presidency within reach. they have
determined to put their best foot fore
most and enlist under the Cleveland
banner. 1t is pretty story, but def
cient in particulars, says the Wash
ington Star.
Are the old friends of Mr. Hendricks
very prominent in this movement
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Hendricks were
about as ill-assorted pair as ever
Travelled in double harness. 1t was
with great difficulty that the In.
the race, and this Mr. Cleveland
seemed never able to forget Mr.. Hen
bricks lived but short time ater
taking Office. but long enough to de-
velop serious differences with his
chief, and to make it plain that the
association was very unpleasant to
him. When he died Mr. Cleveland
did not attend the funeral. 1t was
explained that he was advised in his
course by those who thought he ought
not to take the railroad risk of the
journey. But his absence was resented
by many of Mr.. Hendricks friends.
And how about the old friends of Mr..
voorhees,? They are nearly all sill.
yer men, and they deeply regretted
the course their old favorite took un-
der Cleveland's influence in the fight
over the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. What
has lately occurred to make Mr..
Cleveland so very attractive in their
eyes?
Then there are the friends of the
late John G. Shanklin. In 1892 Mr..
Shanklin was candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Indiana, and had good prospects of
success. He was a Cleveland man,
and wanted the state delegation to
the democratic national convention in.
structed for the New Yorker. But
lssac p. Gray played the "favorite
SON. game, and obtained instructions
for himself. He likewise defeated
Mr.. Shanklin's gubernatorial aspira.
tions because of Mr.. Shanklins op.
position to his presidential aspira,
tions. At the Chicago convention that
year Mr.. Gray traded the Indiana vote
to the Cleveland people for the prom.
ise of the ministership to Mexico and
got the place. Mr.. Shanklin in the
distribution of the national patronage
got nothing.
There may be good soil in the mid.
die section of the country for the
Cleveland boom, but, all things con.
sidered, one would hardly expect to
find it in Indiana

SUE FOR 100000.
Delaware Indians Also Make Serious
Charges Against the Dawes Conn
.nIsaian.

Washington, Sept. 29.--Justice An
| derson, of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, rendered an
opinion Monday in the injunction pro-
ceeding of the Delaware Indians
against Secretary Hitchcock and the
Dawes Indian commission. dissolving
the temporary injunction heretofore
granted. The case involved the right
of the secretary - pass on the lj7,-
600 acres of land in the Cherokee ma
ton segregated for the use of the
DelawareS. The Indians claimed that
the secretary is without authority to
approve or disapprove of the segrega-
ton, as it had been approved by the
Indians interested. and asked that he
be enjoined against taking such ac-
ton pending the adjudication of the
same question by the court of claims.
Soon after the case was filed the
court granted Il temporary iniunc-
ion, but Judge Anderson yesterday Y
dissolved it. Soon after the decision
was rendered Attorney Walter S. Lo-
gan filed a petition in the court of
claims on behalf of the Delawares
against the United States, asking that
damages be awarded in the sum of
Sl,000,000 because of the expenses to
which the Indians have been subject
ed because of the necessity of de
Tending title to their lands. In this
petition they make some sensational
statements.
One of these accusations is to the
effect that members of the Dawes
commission are interested in oil
! leases and companies holding leases
made upon their lands by Cherokees
claiming title. Mentioning the mem
bers of the commission by name, the
petition alleges that Notwithstanding
the lands have been properly segra-
gated, the Dawes commission. diSre-
garding their official duties as agents
of the United States towards your
petitioners, have conspired and are
conspiring together with the said
companies to cheat and defraud your
petitioners so as to gain possession of
their lands for themselves. or for
their said companies. under pretense
of alloting said lands, in their official
capacity as said Dawes commission,
to divers persons who are willing to
enter into contracts of lease and sale
with representatives of said trust
and land companies, in which the
members of said Dawes commission
are interested.
The secretary of the interior Is
charged with unlawful acts tc de-
fraud the Indians. such as p.ourag-
ing white men who haVc married
squaw wives to make claim to Della
ware lands. 90.

been posted in the Carnegie mills at
Homestead announcing that there
will be n readjustmeut in wages on
January l. The notices were agreed
upon when the men went to work in

men as individuals and to allow three
months notice of change in wages
so that the men could hunt other EN-

argue that the company would not
terminate the scale to raise wages
and that it must be a reduction.
