' ? ????? ???? LYNCHED BY A MOB. Three Bushwhackers Shot to Death at Memphis, Tenn. The Victims Ambushed and Killed X?. Olt ami^PCI xuur -uepuiy ouciiuo. A dispatch from Memphis. Tenn., says: A masked mob of seventy-five men took three colored prisoners from the jail at three A. M.. marched them to an open lot about a mile and a half from the heart of tne city and shot them to death. The bodies, riddled by bullets and partly covered with brush, wer? discovered at daybreak. The names of the colored men are Calvin McDowell, wmtam ocuarc ana meuuuro Moss. The crime for which they were killed was the ambu?hingand shooting down f four deifttv sheriffs In a notorious locality known as "The Curve" while they werj kioking for a colored man for whose arrest tbey haii a warrant. The mob appeared suddenly on Front treet, near the jail. Watchman O'Donnell was in the jail office having a chat with a friend named Seat, when a ring was heard at the outer gate. O'Donnell walked to the door of the jail nd asked. "Who's there*" "Hugh Williams, of White Haven," came fee reply. "I have a prisoner." "All right,'' said O'Donnell. "This is the ?~ ?r ol aroTTB roarlv tn TW?nivP puu?, auu 1 ?UI w*?. %mj w .V _ w-... _ them." He unlocked the state, and two or three men pioshed in. OOonnell did not notice them dosely at that moment, buc when he turned to inquire which was the prisoner he mw that he had been trapped. The men were masked. "What does this mean*" queried the watch nan as he reached for his pistol. "No you don't!" exclaimed the masked men a) ther seized his arms and forced him against the wall. Three men who seized O'Donnell spoke loadly, and then fully seventy-two men, all wearing black masks, rushed through the gate and confronted the astounddS watchman. Tnere was a consultation, a wait of a min* ? ? ?wlfh nte, ana soon a rope was nt?u which the watchman's hands were bound. Two men were then put over O'Donnell as guard, and two others went into the jail office. Jailor Williams meanwhile was asleep up Cairs, totally unconscious of what was going on below. Soon came the cry, "All right, boys; here they are." and after making sure that CfDonnell was safely pinioned, the men fifod past him into the jail, and in a minute were in the cell room of the colored depart lent. There were twenty-seven colored men there, all under arrest for complicity in the 1 '* ?~ - ? ? #ai? fKo man Hair, ail a Iti was uu txwr uiavvci tvi OKU to distinguish the ones they wanted. They went trom cell to cell, the thoroughly alarmed inmates coming to the cell doors and unwittingly aiding them in the search. Alice Mitchell, who murdered her giri friend, heard the noise, and from her cell on the upper tier looked down at the mob. Not a word was spoken as the men went along the rows of cells. Then there was a little scuffle, a baud was dapped over a mouth and Moss, the mail earner, was in the possession of tno mob and bound. McDowell was next found,and then Stuart and the party was ready to start. The captives bein? ready they were draggjd out of the jail in a hurry. Turning into Auction street taey went toward the Mississippi River, stopping, however, as they reached the tracks of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. A lew WOTOK IU UU UUUUW11C note as an order and the men started north alone the tracks. The prisoners securely bound ' i were kept moving at a bot pace. The nburns of the city were reached and in an pen field near Wolf River the victims for the first time were allowed to speak. As the gags were removed Mojs said: "If jou are going to kill us turn our faces to the west." /Scarcely had he utfcereJ the words when bali went through his cheek. This was the signal for the work. A volley was poured in upon them. McDowell fell face downward, but Moss and Stuart fell over each other, and when the bodies were found next morning they lay elose together. They presented a nornaie light. McDowell's jaw was entirely shot away and back of his right ear there was ' a hole large enough to admit a man's fist. His right band, to3, had been half blown away as if in self-defence he had grabbed the aanzzle of a shotgun* Stuart was shot in the mouth and twiceia the back of the head. His boor was riddle i with buc!uhot. Moss bad one ear shot off and several ballet holer Id his forehead. The mob, after it had comnletad its terriHe work, came toward the towta.

A Villain Makes a Mother Kill Her Own Son, Ono of the most dramatic tragedies ever wi'#jessed in real life has just been enacted at the village of El Rito, New Mexico. Roderigo Martinez was stabbed to the heart by his mother, who, on realizing what she had done, cut her own throat. The chain of events which led to this tragic denouement seems more like the creation of an imaginative novelist than the facts which they unfortunately are. The villian in this drama of real life was George Hallston, who fell in love with a beautiful young woman who was betrothed to Roderigo Martinez. While pretending to be the friend of Roderigo he secretly mado love to the girl. She refused to listen to Hallston's protests of love. Martinez having left home on a visit, Hallston told his mother that he had been assassinated in Mexico. He then wrote to Martinez that his sweetheart was married and mnthof Hoorl t.hlnWinT hv thss9 mean3 to keep the young man away and leave the coast clear for him to renew the wooing of the young woman. Martinez, however, returned to find that his sweetheart was unmarried and his mother alive. Frustrated in his first plan, Hallston then pursuaded Martinez to give his mother a surprise by visiting her in disguise. Meanwhile he ran to the mother's house and told her He would bring the slayer of her son j to her in a few minutes, and she should kill the rascal. When Roderigo entered the enraged old woman stabbed him to the heart. A moment later she found her mistake, and raving mad, she ctit her throat. The betrothed sprang at Hallston with a * ?P dagger, intending to areuge mo uc?uua ui her lover and his mother, but he darted away and escapsjd. Wile Murderer Executed.

A United States Naval Officer Kills an English Banker. George Gower Robinson, a well-known resident of Yokohama, Japan, was shot and killed by Lieutenant J. H. Hetherington, of the United States steiimer Marion. The latter, it is alleged, was jealous of Robinson's attentions to Mrs. Hetherington. The Lieutenant surrendered himself and was confined aboard the Marion. Robinson, the young man killed bv Hetherington. was a banker. He was born in Yokohama and educated in England. He was handsome, and moved in the best society, and being a wellknown man-about-town was extremely popular Some time ago he began paying attentions to Mrs. Hetherington and vao cn riavn+jfci t.h n t. t.hair infiimssntr harm ma the gossip of the town. Hetherington told Robinson that he must refrain from seeing Mrs. Hetherington, and that he had better leave town. Robinson promised to obey and went away. In two weeks he returned and became more devoted than ever to Mrs. Hetherington. Robinson wit'i a friend named Paris was out driving, when some one on the road called out for him to stop. Robinson pulied up his team, when immediately two shots were fired from a pistol. The first one missed, but the second took effect in Robinson's groin and he fell out of the buggy dead. Public sympathy is largely witn Hetherington. Lieutenant Hetherington was appointed to AnnaDolis Naval Academv from Iowa in 1874, and was promoted to a lieutenancy in October, 1389. WORDS OF WISDOM. Inspiration is the burning lamp of genius. No man was ever great without divine inspiration. Envy is simply punishing ourselves for the sins of others. The worst fatiguo is that which comes without exercise. There is little influence where there is not great sympathy. Inspiration developed the noblest fantastics of the ancients. TV.O rrrnnt nmrlH in fft nil of us the little circle in which wo live. There is no folly equal to that of throwing away friendship, in a world where friendship is so rare. It is a bad thing for a clever and ardent man not to have from the onset some paramount object in life. Whovpy^ thoroughly accepts faith as the inspiration of his labors will be ready to work for humanity as if the fortunes of the world depended on personal endeavors. . BUR&LARS' RICH HAUL. Cracksmen Rob the Coldwater (Mich.) National Bank. Every Vault and Safe Blown OpeD and Demolished, I m , Burglars entered the Cold water (Mich.j | I National Bank between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, blew open every vault and safe and got away with $2C,000 in cash and a private deposit of $40,000 worth of Philadelphia and Reading railroad income bonds. Some people in the vicinity heard two explosions about the time of the occurrence, but attached no alarming significance to them, and the robbery was not discovered until employes came to open the bank at the usual hour that morning. The robbers drilled the outer door of the vault, and with a punch broke off the lock. The middle door was seetired with a padlock, and this was probably broken with a sledge. The inside vault contained one uurginr-pruui. combination-lock safe and. also a steel safe with a time-lock. These were drilled and charged, it is thought, with dynamite. The doors of both safes were blown completely off, wrecking them and leaving nothing but a shell of each. The concussion shattered the wooden shelves inside the vault and scattered the contents of the .safes and the shelving about the floor. About 1200 in gold that was badly mutilated and bent out of shape and also a quantity of silverware were left by the robbers. A six-ounce bottle was found in the"bank with about an ounce of liquid remaining in it. This is supposed to be nitro-glycerine used by the cracksmen. Some tools, consistins: of punches and chisels, with the sawedoff handle of a sledge, were left in the bank. Entrance to the bank was effected by prying open anoutside window. Twosuspieious looking men were seen near the rear entrance of the bank that evening. It was supposed that they were the robbers. There is no other clue. The bank officers offer $500 reward and the I sheriff offers $500 additional for the apprehension and conviction of the robbers. Th? Philadelphia and Reading bonds that were taken were unregistered. They are numbered 875 to 88& inclusive, 1714 to 1738 inclusive, and 1733 and 1734. WORLD'S FAIE NOTES.

McGinn, who had been drinking, was surly, and when she persisted that he had not gbt the story right he struck her on the mouth with his clenched fist, cutting both of her lips and drawing blood. She staggered udner the blow. Not content with this he struck her in the face several times. One eye was discolored and her face shows bruises. She called her brother a coward and a car as she still stood in tront of him with her babe in her arms and threatened vengence. No one had interfered to protect her. McGinn laughed in her face and said ' Why don't you take your vengeanco now:-" As he spoke he drew a long-bladed sharp clasp knite from his pockot, and opening i? handed it to her.

Sh9 had spen two children, a boy and a girl, sip wine at their . father's table, and heard the guests laugh at the precocious little ones. She had seen the boy go to a drnkard's grave when twenty- . j ears old. "But wtat became of the girl?' she went on. "-fhe girl was happily mar* ried and became the mother of lovely children. The fatal seed bad been sown, however. The young mother became a slave to strong drink. I prayed with her and wept with ner. She asked me one day if I would be a total abstainer if she renounced strong drink forever. The proposition was ft strange one and I asked twenty-four hours for consideration. When I saw her ugain she said it was too late. I felt that if Iliad riven her promptly the answer she should nave received she might have been saved. To-day her home is shattered, but I resolved then to do in the future all that I could for God and humanitv." TKI GREATEST PRODKB Or CRIME. In a recent address by Judge Kimball, of Washington, on crime, speaking as the re-' suit of bis experiences as a polioe judge in the National Capital, he said: "There is nothing that produces so much crime as liquor." He stated that during the year, ended December 31, 1891, there were over 18.000 cases in the police court, something over 12,090 in his own court fie added: "The only way to stamp out this curse will be very earnest and aggressive Christian work among the people." fie cited a number of pitiful cases of misery and degrada- tion brought about by the use of liquor, aud said: "The jails are full all the time with men who are inebriates." He spoke of the need of an inebriate asylum, a bill for which has been introduced in Congress. If the drink shops are to be continued in Washington, by all means there should be an inebriate asylum; but we suggest that it would be wiser to close up the drink shops, and therefore to a large extent avoid the Decea- sity for an asylum for their victims.
