[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
MOUNT VERNON, Ind., Oct. 12.This city has
Bince yesterday been in the wildest state of ex
citement over one of the most disgusting
crimes and tragic ravages which ever startled a
people in any city. The Associated PresB re
ports tell elsewhere how eight negroes, lawless
and drunk, last Monday night, gained admis
sion to a house of ill-fame near the outskirts
of the town, demanded money from the girls,
plundered the house, and then, huddling the
girls into one room and putting out the lights,
inaugurated a
BEASTLY CARNIVAL,
holding their pistol at the girls heads and com
pelling them to submit to their loathsome em
braces, each one after another, for an hour,
during which the girls were not allowed to
speak or utter a sound on pain of death. The
villains lived in Belleville,in the negro quarter.
Jim Good, Jeff Hopkins, Edward Warner and
Wra. Chambers were arrested Wednesday and
put in jail, the arrests being kept as quiet as
possible order to
PREVENT LYNCHING.
On Friday morning, Deputy Sheriff A. S.
Thomas, Deputy Marshal Ed Hayes and Con
stables Wm, llussell and Charles Baker went to
the house of Dm Harris, a negro 60 years old,
whose son, Don Harris, Jr., was to be appre
hended on a warrant of being one of the rav
ishers. Here Thomas
WAS gsHOT DEAD.
After thiee hours' struggle old man Harris
was secured, but his son escaped. When the
officers took old Harris to jail, about 6 o'clock,
they found a great crowd of people armed with
pistols and guns, hungering for the lives of
the men in jail and for Harris. Several of
themSattackedjHarns as he was carried through,
and nearly succeed in shooting him, and but
tor the excitement elsewhere which diverted
them, they would have done so. The officers
put him in jail, and Hayes, Jim Dunn, Baker
and others, locked themselves in, armed to the
teeth, and defied the mob which was howling
outside and demanding entrance. At 8 o'clock
last evening several hundred citizens started
out of the city and assembled in a dark woods
half a mile out on the railroad, where 100 long
black masks were ready. They spent an hour
preparing for their woik and taking an oath of
secrecy. During this interim a GLOBE reporter
went into jail with Ed. Hayes, marshal, and
talked with the
DOOMED MEN.
I the corridor lay old Harris, lean and
bloody, with lowzy whiskers. He was unable
to talk above a whisper from the loss of blood.
His right arm was shot to pieces and loads of
shot in his side had nearly done the work. He
raised one ,irrn and said he had done the shoot
ing which killed Thomas, but thought the men
who came were Geo. Daniels and Henry Jones,
who had threatened to kill him. He reluctantly
admitted things which placed his guilt beyond
the shadow of a doubt. Jeff Hopkins, a tall
black brute, 42 years old, was next interviewed.
He denied his guilt. Wm. Chambers, the third
man, had just been acquitted of the murder of
Pat Mcllullen, at Grand Chain last winter.
Jim Good, who has just been pardoned for
rape, a villainous looking six-tooter, magnifi
cently built, denied inthemo3t solemn manner
his connection with the affau. Edwards, the
last of the nve, was a young, slim, slouchy
looking boy oi 21, coal black, and cool as a
cucumber. When called to his cell door
HE QUIT PKAYINO
in a monotonous voice and told the reporter in
a calm and even tone that he was not in the
crowd that ravished the women. Old Harris
alone presented a pitiable appearance, looking
weak and sick. Cool and unmoved he lay on
the pallet without uttering a sound, while the
other four locked in the hrst cell from the door
were kneeling on the floor with heads bowed to
the wall, praying in loud, monotonous, and
thrilling tone of a camp meeting. As your re
porter concluded the interview the
CHACKING OF A PISTOL
was heard, and Ed. Hayes, throwing open the
door, said: "Let's skip, boys, there's murder
on hand." For ten minutes it seemed to be a
false alarm, but then was heard the steady
tramp of 200 men, the best young men of the
county physically, and probably in reputation,
marched up the street and filed by twos into
the yard and up to the guards without a word.
Every man had on a
LONG BLACK MASK.
The guards were sized, when a volley of pistol
and gun shots was fired, and several officers
were wounded. The keys of the doors were
taken from Hayes, and the masked men enter
ed the corridor. With cold-chisels, sledge-ham
mers and crow-bars the doors were opened.
While the awed and expectant crowd were
"waiting outside a
HOBIJIBLE DEED
was committed on the interior. The surging
crowd, rendered desperate by the slow destruc
tion of the iron door, had, with hushed voices,
and almost by glances, agreed upon an
AWFDL VENGEANCE
for Thomas. The old man Harris who lay upon
his pallet like one indfferent to his end was
suddenly surrounded by men from whose
hearts all human feeling seemed to have fled.
Without a word he was seized, a hand clutched
about his throat to stifle any scream, and a
knife plunged into his heart. In five minutes
his
BODY WAS OUT TO PIECES
1
like a hog, head, arms, legs, all separated, and
^M ^M-^WWBTJIfy^^
a sickening mass of human flesh thrown into
the privy. So quickly was the awful act per
petrated that not a soul knew of its commis
sion until after the dread culmination of the
nights horrid work. In forty minutes from
the opening of the front door this crime was
committed, and in five minutes more the cell.'
door yielded the chisel and sledge^ and with a
crash the heartless crowd were in and had
the prisoners.
BOPES AND TWINE
had been prepared, and in five minutes each of
the four had his wrists tied tightly behind his
back and a rope thrown about his neck. The
men uttered not a word of pleading
nor faltered an instant. At five minutes be
fore 11, the little group at the jail door received
orders and the masked guards again waved back
the crowd which had began to struggle into the
yard. A minute later a little procession
emerged from the jail door. The gloomy pro
cession moved to a fence on the south side of
the square, juBt where the massive portico of
the splendid new
TEMPLE CF JUSTICE
and mersy looked upon the scene which
mocked its pretensions and stained its portals.
There stood three locust trees within ten feet
of the fence. The four men were led under the
FATAL TREES
whose branches reached out ready for the work.
The rope about Jeff. Hopkins' neck was thrown
over the limb at the first trial, but the others
caught in the leaves, and three or four minutes
was spent in having the men climb the tree
and put the ropes over. Not a word was said
yet except by the prisoners, who were
SOFTLY PRAYING,
but stood asjfirm'as rocks in the street. In
front a dense crowd was drawn up, patroled in
front by masked men with gleaming pistols,
and as far as sound was concerned, the whole
might have been a
GHASTLY DBEAM OB VISION.
Although Hopkins' executioners were ready,
they seemed to falter, and JimJGoode was the
first to be pulled up. As the man who pat the
rope over finished his task, he caught the end,
and holding ,it, swung from the limb to the
ground. The tension caught Goode and pulled
him on tip-toe. When the executioner re
leased his hold Goode fell back on the rope and
could not be lifted. He had fainted, and his
death was painless. Five men seized the rope
and swung him up three feet clear, and tied the
end to the fence-post nearest. Another mo
ment and Hopkins and Warner went up in a
similar manner. There was not a
tremor or twitch. Bill Chambers
was still on terra firma, and at
first pull broke the fragile limb and he fell
back to the earth. The rope was run through
the forks oi" the tree and was pulled up by
strong arms and held and
THE DEED WAS DONE.
Ten minutes had not passed, and but for the
breaking of the limb it would have been done
in three. After hanging fifteen minutes the
crowd were admitted to the yard to gaze on the
bodies which were left hanging. The masked
men disappeared like ghosts, and the crowd
quietly left, after viewing the scene, and the
town was as quiet ae the grave. It was the
most respectable hanging for years.

A TERRIBLE MOB.
EvANSViiiLE, Ind., Oct. 12.Monday night
seven negioes entered a house of ill fame at
Mount Vernon, eighteen miles distant, and by
threats and violence succeeded in ravishing
five white women living there. Four of the
negroes were arrested night before last.
Deputy Sheriffs Thomas and Hayes went to the
residence of Dan Harrison, father of one of the
three missing ones, to make an arrest of his
son. Dau Harrison resisted their entrance to
the house and shot Deputy Thomas, killing him
instantly. Deputy Hayes shot the old man,
shattering his arm. The news spread rapidly,
and soon a mob of several hundred men sur
rounded the jail where old man Har
rison had been taken to keep com
pany with th four previously
incarcerated. The jail is very insecure, and
the mob surrounded it to prevent the prisoners
being brought to this city for safe keeping.
Heaung that militia had been ordered from
EvansviUe the 9:20 A. train west was stopped
by the mob a mile this side of Alt. Vernon and
searched. Finding no soldiers, the train was
permitted to pass on. The crowd around the
jail increased in proportions toward night.
The telegraph operator was run out of his
office at 9.30 P. M. About 100 men in long
black masks proceeded to the jail at 1 o'clock,
took the four prisoners arrested Tuesday and
hung them in the jail yard. The old man
Hanison was cut to pieces and thrown down
a privy vault. After perpetrating the horrible
deed the mob dispersed and the streets are
now deserted.

(Special Telegram to the Globe.]
BENSON, Minn., Oct. 12.An immense meet
ing greeted Mr. Donnelly last evening at Lac
qui Parle and among those present were a large
number of ladies. The large school house was
more than filled, and many stood up on the
stairs and listened. Many came ten and twelve
miles to hear the man who is advocating the
interest of the people, and they remained spell
bound for upwards of two hours and a half.
There is a terrible feeling at La qui Parle
among the farmers on the wheat ring. Most of
the wheat goes to Canby. There is the place,
where the indignation is the greatest. This iB
not a tempest in a tea-pot, but an earthquake,
that will shake the State before the expiration
of another sixty days. We must Back the
farmers this fight, or the prosperity of Min
nesota is gone for years.

[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
HANCOCK, Minn., Oct. 12.Another large
house greeted Mr. Donnelly at this point. He
was listened to with great attention and I am
satisfied that excellent results will follow. A
good many farmers were out and great good
feeling existed. The agent of the Millers' As
sociation.at Minneapolis,and it is said the agent
of the elevator company, have been up this
way fixing up matters. They are getting
frightened at the outburst of the people.
PRAIRIE FD3ES.
The prairie fires in Swift and Steans coun
ties have been pretty bad One man lost 500
bushels of old wheat, all his new wheat, a
wagon, thresher and several articles of furni
ture. The church at Clontarf, and the wheat
of the priest near by, was saved by a crowd of
people. They had nine plows working to keep
the fire from it. Along the line where I rode
to-day the fire was raging, and a great deal of
damage has been done, but to what extent I

A HOAX, OR WHAT
The Mysterious Arrest at Niles, Cala.
Graphic Story of the Robbery, Murder
Chase and Capture as Given by the Stock
ton Papers.
ARREST DENIED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.The telegram sent from
San Francisco yesterday stating that Detec
tive Henderson, of London, and Allen Pinker
ton, of Chicago, had arrested Burgess, the
Bank of England burglar, at Niles, California,
is pronounced untrue by Pinkerton, who states
that neither none of his men or Chief Hender
son are in California.
WHO WERE THEY, AND WHO DID THEY ARREST?
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.The report of the
arrest of Burgess at Niles, Alemeda county,
Thursday, is not fully credited in police cir
cles here, though evidently some arrest was
made in that vicinity for some purpose. For
ten days a man calling himself Henderson,
from Scotland Yard, London, has been in and
out of the city, making himself and his errand
known, which latter, he said, was the arrest of
some English criminals. Also, several times a
man registering himself as Allen Pinkerton,
Chicago, has been seen with Henderson. They
asked no aid from the local officers, and pro
ceeded sibout their business by themselves.
The following is a synopsis of the arrest from
the Stockton papers yesterday:
Chief detective Henderson, of London, and
Charles Pinkerton, brother of Allan Pinkerton,
chief detective of the Chicago police, succeeded
in making the arrest at Niles, Alameda county,
of Burgess, the burglar who robbed the bank of
England and killed McWilliams, assistant cash
ier. Burgess murdered the banker by striking
him on the wrist with a ring in which was a
lance that carried a deadly poison into his
veins, producing instant death. He then
took a pile of money consisting of
1,000 sterling notes, the value of which
was 250,000 pounds sterling. The murder and
lobbery occurred Aug. 14, 1877. The burglar,
after the robbery was traced by detectives
through France, Switzerland, to Vienna and
London, then to New York, thence to San
Francisco, then went to China, thence to Aus
tralia, and back to San Francisco. July 3d
Lord Beaconsfield sent word to Henderson that
Burgess had been seen in Australia. Hender
son followed him to Australia, but was too
late, as Burgess was on the way to San Fran
cisco. May 28, 1878, the burglar registered at
hotel. He then went to Sacramento
and registered at the hotel as Samuel Andrews,
of London. The detective here lost track of
him for Beveral dajs, but by chance learned
that a woman of the town had in her posses
sion a curious Russian coin. They found the
woman and obtained the coin and a description
of the man who had given it to her, but he had
left for Stockton, where he remained until
Aug. 30th. They followed him to Niles, where
he was found with a pair of blankets strapped
to his back and ready to start away. When
confronted by the detectives he said: "Well,
old man, you've got me atlast," and gave him
self up.

THE THEATRE PANIC.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 12.It is stated there were
4,000 to 5,000 persons in the Coliseum Theatre
last night at the time of the panic. I appears
one of the performers was singing a comic
song, when a fight commenced in the pit, a cry
of fire was raised, and there was a general
stampede for the box office entrances, though
there are said to be five other doors open for
the egress of the audience. The police inside
and outside the theatre vainly endeavored to
comtrol the frantic crowd. The structure of the
theatre at the point where the crush occurred is
intricate. The exits converge into a narrow
well, and it was in this well the suffocations
took place, and the dead were piled
sue or seven bodies deep. An upright parti
tion, in the center of the doorway, stopped the
passage, until one or the men attached to the
theater cut it away, enabling some of the peo
ple to escape. A scene of the greatest excite
ment prevailed outside the theater. The en
gines and fire escapes arrived, and the firemen
loming the police entered the building to
rescue the people. The manager of the
theater, upon the first alarm, rushed into the
pit from the entrance and shouted to tho peo
ple to remain quiet, but all hia efforts were in
effectual until the theater had been cleared,
when the dead and injured were carried to the
royal infirmary. Two of the dead were women,
three boys, and thirty-two strong able-bodied
men of the laboring class.

This is the story as given to the Stockton pa
pers by the men purporting to be Henderson
and Pinkerton. After leaving Stockton no
trail of the men has been found, notwithstand
ing inquiry along the line of railroad and else
where. British Consul Wm. Lane Booker here,
says he never heard of the robbery or murder,
and did not know of the arrest, though he had
heard of a man registering himself as Hender
son of Scotland Yard. The police here think
the affair, if not a hoax, is another affair, and
this version is given for the purpose of covering
the tracks.

long ago. Being advised that it might be well
to submit the charges as a serious question to
two committees, one composed of prominent
Republicans, the other of prominent Demo
crats, and to avoid criticisms from my
political enemies. This was done. The report
of the Republican committee is before you.
The Democratic committee construed their
power as extending to a political decision, and
gave their opinion on the point, which was not
favorable to my continued candidacy for Con
gress. In the fall of the slander I denied by
letter their right to pass on this feature of the
case alone, and requested that they confine
their decision to the social question, and if any
member of the committee should, refuse to dp
that, they might resign and permit the. m
bers TO fill their place and procaed to investi
gate it. The committee then declined by letter
to proceed further with the ua&e if confined,
solely to the social question.
He likewise states that as. the Democratic'
committee didn't touch upon the serial fea~
ture of the case he calls upon his district to ap
point a committee of twelve composed of citi
zens of different parishes to investigate the
case if they choose to do so.
