San Francisco, July 27.-The big
wooden structure, built in the style
OF a German castle by Adolph Sutro,
23 years ago, on the summit Of Tele.
graph hill, was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire. The blaze was started
presumably by small boys at play with
matches at the base of the high observ.
atory on the east end of the structure.
The flames, famed by the high winds
Of the hilltop, ate their way rapidly
into the very vitals Of the building.
The firemen prevented the spread Of
the flames to the adjacent buildings.
The hill proved too steep for the en-.
gines to surmount, but through long
lines of hose the firemen were able to
play several streams Of water on the
burning building. The fire was visi-

Sealed Into Leaden Coffin.
The second coffin was of lead and
very heavy. On the cover, at the head.
was cross. just below which was. a
skull and crossbones. while below
these were the arms of the dead pope,
with the triple crown, but without the
keys, as they signify living victory.
This coffin was sealed personally
with the arms Of the cameringo. The
majordomo OF the chapter of the ba-
silica lighted brazier. which was
used in soldering the coffin, producing
sounds and sights strange to hear and
see in a church. These two collins
were closed In third casket of pol
ishcd walnut with decoration.
When the last supreme moment
came the heavy collins, weighing in all
1922 pounds, were rolled out OF the
chapel, preceded by mace bearers and
choir, singing as they went and fol.
lowed by all the cardinals, among
which the bowed figure of Oreglia,
the strong upright Vannutelli broth
ers. the white haired Agliardi and the
immense black browed Svampa were
the most conspicuous. Pulleys were
attached to the coffin and soon, to the
strains Of the "Benedictus Dominus
Deus Israel" it was raised into the
store sarcophagus above the door,
where 1t will remain until the grateful
cardinals created by the late pope
shall erect suitable tomb in the ba-
silica of st. John Lateran. which was
chosen by the pope himself as his last
resting place.
Thus was Pope Leo consigned to his
long rest.
The ring Of the fisherman, which
should have been found on the hand of
the pope, has disappeared. 1t is not so
much question of its intrinsic as its
sentimental value, for the ring of the
fisherman is used to seal the papa1
bulls and Is the outward sign of au-
thority of the pope. When the car
dinal carmelingo certifies to the death
of the pope he takes the ring of the
fisherman from the chamberlain of his
holiness. It is then destroyed in the
presence of all cardinals at the first
meeting of the sacred college held af-
ter the pope's death. But when Car.
dinal Oreglia, the present camerlingo,
had certified to the death of Leo XIII.

He Was Quickly Captured and Taken

tered Down the Wall and Took the
Prisoner and Hung Him-Another
NEGRO Had Assaulted Woman.

Danville, Ill.,; July PA race war
has broke out here. While a mob OF
600 men was on its way to the county
Jail to lynch James Wilson, a Bloom
ington negro, who had confessed to as
saulting Mrs. Thomas Burgess. wife Of
a farmer, negro shot and killed Hen
ry Gatterman, white, a member of the
mob. The murderous negro, a refu-
gee from Evansville, Ind, whose name
is j. W. Mayfield, was then lynched
by the mob, and three other negroes
who attacked the whites were beaten
badly. The mob finally resumed its
march to the county Jail, determined
to lynch Wilson.
Wounded.
Adam Murray, shot through the
head, will die; H. Hines, shot in the
neck and shoulder, will die; Otto
Heinke, shot in the arm, will recover;
Charles Lopp, dubbed on
the head while defending Mayfeld;
Patrolman William Leverenz, badly
injured internally by mob's battering
ram while defending Mayfield; Fred
Lorenz, shot three times in the leg in
attack on Jail; Mince Mobaker, shot
in attack on Jail; Mr.. Laid, shot in
attack on Jail; John Bell, shot in chest

Lynchins Of Mayfieid.
Mayfeld met his fate while the mob
was on it's way to lynch Wilson. The
angry throng was passing down East
Main street when the negro became
involved in an alteration with some
Of it's members. They started after
him and he drew revolver, firing into
the crowd.
Henry Gatterman, young butcher,
fell mortally wounded and expired
within a few minutes. The negro fled,
but was captured by officers within
block Of the scene and hurried to the
police station, with the mob in hot
pursuit, temporarily diverted from
their march to the county Jail. The
officers, with their prisoner, took ref
uge in the city building, barricading
themselves behind the doors Of one Of
the Offices. They could not check the
mob, however, for it secured a long
pole and battered down a section of
the wall and the door, both of which
were frail. On account Of the over
number of the mob it was
useless for the officers to resist.
The negro was seized and rushed to
the spot where he had shot down Cat
terman. It was the work Of an instant
to throw a rope around his neck and
swing him up to a telephone pole.
After his life had been slowly stran-
gled out he was left hanging, while
the mob proceeded to the county jail.
After going short distance, however,
the mob changed its mind, faced about
and, returning to the scene of the
lynching, cut Mayfield's body down.
They rushed it to the principal square,
built bonfire and hacking the body
to pieces with knives, pitched 1t in
the midst Of the flames. For while
they watched it burn and then, COM
ing to a realization of their first mis-
sion. to lynch Wilson. they once more
resumed their march to the county
Jail.

Shot Into the Mob.

The sheriff and his deputies had ex.
pected an attack and made a strong
stand. The sheriff refused to accede
to the demands for Wilson, and threat
ened to shoot If the mob committed
an overt act. The mob, now worked
up to an intense state of excitement,
became frenzied in its determination
to reach Wilson, and in its fury threat
ened to lynch the sheriff, his deputies
and the negro turnkey. Finally they
charged the jail, and the sheriff and
his deputies fired, wounding nine mem.
bers of the mob, one fatally. The mob,
being repulsed, sent to a neighboring
mining camp for dynamite, and threat
ened to again attack the jail.

Wilson's Crime.

Wilson, 1t is charged, went to the
Burgess farmhouse while Mrs. Burgess
was alone and begged food. While
she was getting him something to eat
he seized her. He fed, leaving her
half dead. She managed to crawl to a
neighboring farmhouse and gave the
alarm.
A posse of officers started in pur-
suit of the negro, and when Wilson
was captured he was hurried to the
county jail to prevent lynching. There
the negro confessed.
Three other negroes have been at
tackled by members of the mob and
severely beaten.
