| Charles Coils. who was fatally 81,
Sunday morning by Richard Dixon,
| desperate regro, in the atters room
in the Jones hotel died at noon. c.
| lis went to Dixon's room on Dixon
request. Dixon said his mistress hac
his clothes in her possession and ha
got the consent of Jones. the colore
| proprietor TO keep Dixon away frcl-
his house. Colts accompanied Dixon
10 the room and in a short time the
man and woman engaged in a quarrel,
which resulted in Dixon shooting the
woman. who is known as Mamie Cor
bin, in the left breast. just over the
heart. She fell unconscious at the
first shot and Coils jumped towards
the negro to prevent his escape from
the room. Dixon then fired four bull
lets into Coils, the last of which pene-
trated his abdomen. Dixon then went
to police headquarters and gave him
self up. The killing Of Coils was the
sole topic of conversation and Police
Judge Miller and Common Pleas Judge
Mayer are freely censured. They both
sentenced him at various times to Jail
and workhouse for from two to six
months, but he was always released
before the expiration of his sentence.
1t was the general feeling that a
trial would only result in an INSULT
cient sentence and talk of mob vio-
lence was heard. Nothing was
thought of it by the officers until as
late as 80 last evening. when mob
of boys gathered in front of the Jail.
This group was augmented by a few
men and by O'Clock 800 men had
congregated about the Jail yard and
steps. 1t was known that only a lead
er was wanted to start the assault
but no one assumed the responsibility.
At one time the iron bar at the east en-
trance was removed and the door part
ly opened. The policemen on the in
side promptly opened the door and
pulled the two nearest men inside.
This ended all active attempts to
break the door until nearly II O'Clock,
when the mob battered in the doors
of the county jail dragged Dixon to
the outside of the building. fired a
number of shots into his body, killing
him. and then tied a rope about his
neck and hanged him TO a telegraph
pole. where the body was riddled with
bullets.

x According to this rumor only trihins

n but one or two Japanese cruisers were
sunk. No word confirming the story
has been received in any other quar-
ter, and although there is nothing TO
show there was not another lombard

story is likely an exaggerated story OF
Sundays bombardment. There is
considerable curiosity here regarding
the resisting power of Vladivostok,
which has long been regarded as the
Gibraltar of the far east.
1t is believed at the japanese lega-
tion here that the Japanese are now
between the Russian cruiser squad
ron and Vladivostok, and there IS rea-
son to believe that the Russian
squadron is in the vicinity of Possiet
bay. Russian official dispatches do
NJ mention this squadron and this
fact lends color to the belief that the
Japar ese warships have shut it out OF

 The government artillery replied to the insurgents, and one gun burst, wounding several government soldiers. The ministers of Argentina, Brazil, Italy and France boarded one of the insurgent vessels and held long and secret conference, at the end of which a truce of twenty-four hours was de- clared in order to give the women and children an opportunity to leave the capital before further bombardment. Absolute reserve is maintained in re- gard to the conference, but 1t is said that the ministers protested to the in surgent leaders against the lombard ment

TIER MAD MARRIAGE.

Melodrama will follow at Polls on Tuesday and Wednesday, when the thrilling American play "Her Mad Marriage" will be presented, with a special popular matinee on Wednes- day. The play Is heralded as one that appeals to everybody, as 1t is full of the things that appeal to all classes of theater goers. There is just enough pathos in the play to please the wo- men, thrilling spectacular effects that will please all lovers of sensation, and comedy enough in 1t to stock a half dozen ordinary melodramas. There are a number of unique specialties in the play that cannot help but please everyone. From scenic standpoint nothing better has ever been attempt ed, as the managers, Mayer and Gras, helm, have gone to fabulous expense to make 1t a noteworthy production. There is one novelty in the play that makes 1t stand out from all produc- tions of this kind. That is the play ing of play within a play. This is an innovation thatsw will set everyone talking.

AT COOPER UNION, IN NEW YORK.

 Equality of the People Before

 NEW YORK, Aug 19.--Thomas E. Watson of Georgia and Thomas Tib- bles of Nebraska, the national candi- dates of the Peoples party, were form ally notified of their nomination last night. The ceremony, which was held in Cooper Union, was of the simplest character. Alfred J. Boulton. prom inent labor man of this city, presided. The address of notification to the pres idential nominee, Mr. Watson, was made by Judge Samuel W. Williams of Vincennes, Ind. MT. Tibbles was notified by Jay w. Forrest of Albany. MT. Watson's speech of acceptance was in part as follows:
 "In this era when so many men wear their political beliefs loosely, in this time when the voter who went to bed a Democrat-having prayed for free silver before closing his eyes-may awake in the morning and find himself under the necessity of clothing himself in the irrevocable gold standard or of having no Democratic garments to wear, it is something to be able to say, l belong to a party which will not strike it's flag, which will not desert it's creed, which stands today just where it stood on the day of it's birth, which glories in it's principles in the hour of defeat, which believes it has a message to mankind and a mission to perform and which will never cease the struggle to restore our government to the democratic ideal of the wise men, the good men, the great men who framed it.
 ITO restore the liberties of the peo- pie, the rule of the people, the equal ity of all men before the law, is our purpose We believe that manhood should count for more than money; that character should outweigh the dollar Whether he work with brawn or brain, 1t is the worker who should be monarch of the world. Not wealth, not birth, not office, but the worker he who has noble ideals, he who wants to achieve, he who has a message and a mission and looks upon the earth as a room to work in and the blessed sun the light to work by-he who, clinging to those convictions which become a part of his life, would rather die than make cowardly submission to what he felt to be wrong

Theatrical Writer Tells About His
 Trip to Connecticut.

Will A. Mcconnell, writing in the New York Telegraph of today, speaks as follows of his experiences in get. ting back to New York:
 'I visited New London Wednesday, and it is my last out of town appear ar1ce for the rest of my days, or until the New York, New Haven and Hart ford is run on the same lines laid down by the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and other real railroads ill our land. .-
 T returned by their famous OK team train. New London is little more than 100 miles from New York, and 1t takes that road four and half hours to make the trip. There Is no way on earth that you can see per- formance in New London and get back to New York before 11:35 the next morning, and even at that one has to change cars at New Haven.
 When asked for ticket to New York to Stamford, the agent said:
 "'Do you want a returnT
 "I said: Does anybody come back hereT
 "He answered: Yes, few, but they are generally in coffins.'
 '"The eating stations along the line of this road are wonders.

 Everybody patromzing the New York, New Haven and Hartford car ries a heavy life and accident policy and deck of cards. They do noth- ing but play games of chance from the time they get aboard the train un- til the OK team lands them in New York. And they are games of chance.

SuURCH WAS A HOSPITAL.
Piedmont Baptists Ate Poisoned Ice
 Cream,

/ LYNCHBURG, Va, Aug. 19.-Re- ports from Pleasant View, Amherst county, say twenty-five persons were poisoned there by eating ice cream, but all those affected are considered out of danger save one young woman, Miss Lawhorn, whose address : is not known, and who is said to be in a critical condition.
 There were more than 2,000 persons present at the sessions of the Piedmont Baptist association, and those who were poisoned ate of the cream after the session adjourned. Tn less than half an hour the church was turned into hospital, and four physicians were working heroicalIy to counteract the effects of the poison.
