Mob Dispersed.

Sparta, Wis, June GA mob sur
rounded the Sparta Jail at 2 a. m. de-
termined to lynch Sam Montgomery, a
wife murder. A company of the Wis
consin National Guard was guarding the
Jail with orders to fire if an attack is
made. An attack, however, is expected
every minute. In fact, one was at
tempted but a volley fired over their
heads checked the men. The crowd is
augmenting and now numbers several
hundred of angry, excited men, which
only needs a determined leader to effect
their purpose of lynching Montgomery.
Montgomery aud his wife were driving
along a lonely country road in Monroe
county, when Mrs. Montgomery's death
occurred. With the dead body of his
wife lying in the buggy, Montgomery
drove to the nearest town on a gallop
and there claimed that they had been
in runaway and his wife's neck was
broken by a fall out of the buggy. His
stories were so conflicting that he was
placed under arrest and an inquest jury
yesterday held him for murder.
Sparta, Wis, June 6.-All is quiet
here this morning, the mob that had
surrounded the Jail during the night,
and early this morning, with the avowed
intention of lynching the alleged wife
murderer, Sam Montgomery, having
dispersed quietly before dawn without
making an attempt to secure the
prisoner. A company of the National
Guard is guarding the Jail with orders
to fire if an attack is made. In fact,
one was attempted, but vOlley fired
over their heads checked the mob.

sentative claim that when Judge Gray has
acquainted himselfwith the merits of the
points in dispute his ruling will be re-
versed. This opens another avenue for
an amicable settlement and the conven-
ton may go on record favorable to lay

and to place the blame for the delay of
which the men complain upon the opera
tors. Trouble is brewing at nearly every
colliery in this district and already there
are two strikes involving thousand men.

BREAKING OF LEvEE.-The Sny
levee broke just below st. Louis yester-
day and the Mississippi is now falling at
that city at the rate of inches per hour
on account of the break. The Sny is
the most important levee on the north
end of the river and is 20 miles long.
In some places it is % feet high and so
feet across at the base. 1t incloses a
fertile farming section from three to sew
Ell miles wide, containing more than
1000 acres. There are several towns
within the district, the population of
which is probably 900. Many of them
remain, and loss Of life is certain. This
district has not been overfowed since
1888, and the loss will run into the
millions. The break occurred at point
used by the railroad as a roadbed. 1t
was unexpected until just before the
break occurred. When seen rush was
made to repair it, but 40 yards went out
and a torrent poured through. A break
has occurred in the Madison levee about
one mile north Of the Merchants bridge,
endangeriDg the lives and property OF
several thousand residents of Granite
City. Five hundred men have been put
at work to stop the break, which threat
ems the lowlands for several miles along
the Illinois side of the river north from
East st. Louis.

CarmeIites order TO Leave.

Geneva, June 6.-The Swiss govern
ment has adopted the French policy
toward monastic orders, only in more
modified form. A body of Carmelities
who were expelled from France, and who
settled few months ago in the Canton
of Fribourg, have been ordered to leave
under clause in the Swiss constitution
which prohibits the establishment OF
new orders in the country. Lazarists
from Lyons attempted to open a school
at Geneva, but were prevented from do
ing so, for the same reason.

SENATOR JOHN w. DANIEL was yes
terday declared the nominee of the demo-
cratic party as his own successor for the
United States Senate. He had no OPP
position under the party primary law,
and the State chairman, Mr.. j. Taylor
Ellyson, declared him the nominee.
This will be the fourth term for Senator
Daniel, he having been elected in 1886
to succeed the late Gen. William Ma
hone. His present term does not ex-
pire until March 8, 1905. Senator
Daniel was twice chosen by the General
Assembly by a unanimous vote, repub-
licans and populists voting for him, and
such is his popularity throughout the
State and his recognized ability that it is
doubtful ifhe will have opposition so
long as he wishes to remain in the Senate.

THE FIRE last night is believed to
have been of incendiary origin. Stables
seem to be the places which attract
pyromaniacs in this city recently, and
hardly a week elapses in which one is
not found to be burning. These acts
are believed by some to be committed by
a person of an unbalanced mind, or one
whose passion for excitement spurs him
on to crime. 1t may be fun for him,
but, like the fable of the jackass dancing
among the ducks, it is extremely danger
GUS to others. Every now and then
there are sporadic cases Of pyromania in
Alexandria. The individual who is
now suffering from it, if caught, may
be isolated and given several years in
which to convalesce.
