Doors to Reach the Prisoner.; VICTIM KILLED A POLICEMAN Fifteen Hundred Infuriated Olilo Citizens Orerpower Sheriff and Prison Guards ?After Killing Necro the Crowd Drag Lifeless Body Through the Streets of the Town?Sheriff's Appeal Useless. Springfield. Ohio.?A furious mob of 1300 men battered down the doors of the county jail, broke into the cells and dragged a negro prisoner, Richard Dixon, who murdered Policeman Coins into tlif* iail vard. where he was shot to death, nine bullets being lodged in his body. The mob then carried the body through the principal streets of the city, strung it up to a telegraph pole and riddled it with bullets. Policeman Collis had served for twelve years on the force, and was regarded as one of the most reliable and efficient men in the Police Department. He had gone to Dixon's room on the negro's request. The negro said a woman had his clothes in her possession, and had got the consent of the colored proprietor to keep Dixon away from his house. Collis accompanied Dixon t? the room, and in a short time the man and woman engaged in a quarrel which resulted in Dixon shooting the woman in the left breast, just over the heart. She fell unconscious at the first shot, and Collis jumped toward the negro to prevent his escape from the room. Dixon then fired four biillets in Collis' body. Dixon went immediately to Police Headquarters and gave himself up. He was taken to jail, and (joins ana the wounded negress were taken to tlie hospital. The killing of Collis soon became the sole topic of conversation. It was the general feeling that a trial would only result in an insufficient sentence, and talk of lynching was frequently heard. Nothing was thought of it by the officers until suddenly a group of boys gathered in front of the jail. This group was augmented by a few men, and presently 300 men had congregated about the jail yard and steps. Sheriff Routzahn appeared on the Jail steps and pleaded with the mob to disperse, but he could be heard only with difficulty. His appeal was ineffectual. and he was compelled to desist. The mob then surged through the east door, overpowered the Sheriff, turnkey and handful of deputies, and began the assault on the iron turnstile leading to the cells. The jail yard gates were blocked by fully 1500 men, thus making it impos sible for the militia to nave prevented access to the negro had it been on the scene. The heavy iron partition leading to the cells resisted the mob effect-, ually until chisels and sledge hammers were brought two or three minutes later. Fearing an attempt on the part of the police at rescue the leaders formed a hollow square. Some one knocked the negro to the ground, and those near him fell back four or five feet. Nine shots were then fired into his prostrate body. Satisfied that Dixon was dead a dozen men grabbed the lifeless body, and with a triumphant chser the mob marched through the principal thoroughfares in the town. COUNT VON WALDERSEE DEAD. Only Subject Not of Royal House German Public Always Cheered. Hanover, Prussia.?Field Marshal Count von Waldersee died here after several days' illness. Count von Waldersee was the only subject not of a royal house who was always cheered by the public. In appearance a fine, strong, handsome old man, not even the Chancellor was treated with more respect and admiration, for he had to do with the things that made Prussia great and the Empire possible. His partial estrangement from the present Emperor in the early part of his reign, the reason of which still remains obscure, had disappeared long since and been replaced by the Emperor's cordial friendship. TRIED TO BLOW UP A FAMILY. Tirnamifp in the Firewood of the "rf -? * ? Leases, of Bellefontaine, Ohio. Springfield, Ohio.?An attempt was made near Bellefontaine, in the home of John J. Lease, to blow up the entire family. Shortly after a piece of hemlock timber was placed in the stove an explosion occurred which caused severe injury to Mr. Lease and her three daughters, Emma, Dora and Clara. The women were in the kitchen. It Is believed the wood contained dynamite and it was put in for the purpose of killing the family. Holes were blown in the walls and one piece of the stove went through the side of the house. Dora Lease, the least hurt, put out the fire that had begun to burn the garments of the others, who lay insensible on the floor. San Francisco Feels Earthquake.

Conductor Shumacher and Brakemen Weyot and Nevis were killed. The latter and Shumacher were completely incinerated. The collision occurred at the mouth of a tunnel, a local freight crashing into a through train. A flat car loaded with lumber and the caboose of the through train in which "were the victims remained inside the tunnel and were-burned. The "heat of the flames caused the rocks in the tunnel to crumble, and many tons of them fell upon the burning cars, smothering but not extinguishing the fire, and creating a dense volume of smoke and hindering entrance to the tunnel. The caboose was between the car of lumber and the massive locomotive which ran into it. It was crushed and broken into splinters and caught fire from the overturned stove, the flames communicating to the car of lumber. Conductor Shumacher was so pinioned in the wreck that he could not be extricated, the flames preventing help reaching him. Attempts to extinguish the fire in the tunnel were futile. ifT'Dni?T?pn P'snAPTi'a iU L avajavju k? ju Made Him Call Jailer to Open D.oor of the Cell.

NO REPLY FROM BATTERIES Japanese Squadron, Consisting of Five Battleships anil Two Ciuiaern, Firo at Long Banse, and After Forty-five Minutes .Retire to Askald Inland?War* ships Covered With Ice. St, Petersburg.?A dispatch was received at the Admiralty, saying that five Japanese battleships and two cruisers approached Vladivostok from Askold Island, steaming toward Ussuri Bay. When opposite Patrochis and Sotol Bays they took up positions for battle and opened lire with all their guns at long range. The Japanese squadron was at a safe distance, about eight versts (five miles and a quarter), from the shore. Their fire was directed against the forts and shore batteries. The town was not damaged. Most of the 200 shells fired failed to explode, although charged with lyddite. The Russian batteries, on which were Commandant-General Voronetz, Brigadier-Commandant-General Artamenoff and other military authorities, did not reply. The bombardment lasted fifty-two minutes. When the firing ceased tue enemy retired in the direction of Askold Island. At the same time two torpedo boat destroyers made their appearance near Askold Island and two others near Cape Maidel. The enemy's ships were covered with ice. The attack cost the enemy over 200,000 rubles. Most of the shells fired were from six and twelve-inch guns. The population of Vladivostok had been warned in the morning by sentinels on the lookout that a bombard' ment was probable, and had been notified that the Japanese squadron had appeared on the horizon. The people remained tranquil during the firing. It is said that several Chinese in the town were hit. Advices from Vladivostok say that the 2500 Japanese troops, who landed at Plaksin Bay, on the east coast of Northern Korea, are advancing toward Musang, 218 miles from Wonsan, with the intention of ultimately reaching Hunchun. on the left bank of the Tumen River, about a hundred miles west of Vladivostok, and threatening the Russian flank. In order to checkmate this move the Russian outpost, 1500 strong, which crossed the Tumen. is advancing to occupy Koyryeng. on the Tumen, a walled city, commanding the trails along which the Japanese must pass.
