Up a Lynching.
"Were Determined to Hang Two Negro
MurderorH, But-Not Willing toEn-
dunger a .Lady's Life.
(By United Press.)
Llvo Oak, Fla., July 23. At 2 o'clock
this morning n mob of 200 mon rode into
this placo and attempted to storm tho
Jail, their object being to lynch George
Mitchell and Mike Stevens two negro mur
derers. Sheriff Hawkins lives at the jail with
his family and the mob made a demand on
him for tho keys. The sheriff refused and
the mob began to batter down the door with
sledge hammers. The sheriff pleaded
with the mob to desist In vain. Finally ho
said:
"Boys my wife is sick upstairs, and I am
arraid this excitement will kill her. Go
away for her sake. I will goto Tallahassee
and beg Gov. Mitchell to let these negroes
hang.
The appeal was effective and the mob
dispersed hbouting, "We won't eudanger
a lady's life."
Mike Stevens and George Mitchell, tho
negroes wanted, and Henry Brown, wore
convicted and sentenced to hang for the
murder of Alfred Ryberg, a white man.
Brown was hanged last Wednesday, but
at the last moment the other two men were
respited.
This caused great indignation and lynch
ing has been threatened since, as people
believe Mitchell and Stevens as guilty aa
Brown, although the latler swore on the
scarfold that he alone murdered Ryberg.
There is no doubt that the mon will be
lynched unless the governor permits them
to be hanged.

petticoat of a small polka-dot pat
tern, the cover of an iron teapot, and a
small piece of Iron, which at first was
supposed to be a portion of a human
skull, but which tho reporters present
would not build a story on.
Once tho detectives came upon a board
covering the gas pipe. This was at once
announced as a coffin containing the body
of Minnlo Williams.
The detectives In charge of the case
did not deem the search of sufficient im
portance to be upon the giounds soouer
than 4 o'clock.
The building is now closed to everybody,
including reporters, the merchants occupy
ing it being very indignant about the sen
sational stories which have been sent out,
few of which had any foundation in fact.
Not a clue has yet been discovered which
is conclusive.
The petticoat, found to-day had some
discoloration on it which may or may not
be blood, but which looks like those which
would be made by a piece of rusty iron.
The petticoat was found in a barrel half
hidden in dirt in a corner of the cellar,
Just such a barrel, with Just such con
tents, as may be foui. 1 in almost any
cellar.
Arthur Manier, of -113 State street,

arrest of Holmes on the charge of murder.

Julia Connor, was murdered by Holmes

(By. Associated Press.)
New York, July 23. It is nn open secret
in Cuban revolutionary circles that prepa
rations are being made to send an expedi
tion to Cuba at the earliest opportunity.
At the last meeting of the revolutionary
party in this city Gen. Rafael dc Quesada
publicly announced that he would assume
command of the first expedition to start
for the islands.
For some time past owners of vessels
have made overtures to the leaders or the
revolutionists in New York, many orrerlng
their vessels for immediate sale. Some
had boats which they wished to charter
for limited periods.
Proposals of this kind have come from
nearly every port along the Atlantic
coast. It is said that considerable time
has been spent by the Cubans having charge
of the selection in examining the vessels I
ofrered for sale.
CRUELTY TO BE TRIED.
A well-dressed man, who declined to
give his name , and said that he was an
American, speaking English only, en
tered the office of Enrique TruJIllo, editor
of El Forvenlr, to-day and announced that
he had 100 men, drilled and armed, ready
to start for Cuba. He hiniseir would com
mand the rorce and defray the expense of!
transportation.
, Trujillo explained that any such venture
would be a violation of the neutrality laws,
being induced to believe that his caller was
a Spanish agent.
Gnnzalo De Quesada, secretary of tho
revolutionary party in this city, said to
day: 'Dispatches from Madrid say that Gen.
Campos advocates sending Gens. Weyler
and Polavieja to assist In the work of the
present rebellion. Both these men have
records as tyrants and brutes, and many
stories are told of their inhumanity."

PREVENTED AN EXPEDITION.
A fine of $1,000 was imposed on the
ChiUls by tne collector of customs for failure
to submit passenger manifest upon entering
from Jamaica, it having been reported to
the collector that she had been engaged
in carrying passengers.
A number of Cubans came to the city
from the Keys yesterday. It is supposed
that they had been -camped at Pine Key
waiting for the Childs to take them rr,
and when she was seized by Collector
Browne, word was sent them byCuban
managers here to return, as the expedition
had been broken up.
There is no doubt that Collector Browne's
prompt action in seizing the Childs ou
Sunday prevented berjrom taking an x

TROLLEY TRIED 10 RILL
Swept witrfrjrfiiiG SpsspM
Little Freddie Schutrumpf.
0AKRLED THE BOY 300 FEET
He Wns Standing on the Track and
tho Cur Came Willi Such. Velocity
ThntHeCouldNotEfecnpe Knocked
Upon the Fender and Borne- a Long
Distance Before Cur Wns Stopped.
Little Freddie Schutrumpf, the three-year-old
son of Mr. John Schutrumpf, a
tailor at No. -116 New York avenue north
west, came very near being added to the
long list of victims or tlie trolley monster
about 7 o'clock last evening.
The accident occurred on the Eckington
and Soldiers' Home line near Fourth street,
where the cars are usually run at a ter
rific rate or speed, and about which com
plaints are so frequently received by the
Commissioners.
Car No. 27, west bound, in charge of
Conductor Heck, struck the child while
he wns standing on the track about 300
reet from Fourth street.
SAVED BY THE FENDER.
But for the fender he would have been
ground to pieces beneath the heavy wheels
or the car. He was carried fully 300
feet before the car was finally brought to
a standstill, so rapidly was it moving.
The child with a llttlesbrothcr, aged five
years, was across the street from their
home playing, and their father called to
ythem to come in.
Freddie started back across the street,
and Just as he reached the car tracks his
brother called to him and ho stopped and
turned around.
Tliespoton which he stood wasaboutfnur
hundred feet from Fourth street ami Just as
he paused car 27, running at a terrific
rate of speed passed the corner rushing
towards him.
When the cries of his father and little
brother attracted Freddie's attention to
the on rushing monster it was almost upon
him and he had not' time to get out of the
way.
He was struck and caught by the fender,
and on that safety device he was carried
fully three hundred feet before the car was
stopped. Whciihc waspickedupitwasfound
that althoughwio serious injuries had been
sustained he was very badly bruised and
shaken up, and required the services of a
physician.
CAR'S TERRIFIC SPEED.
Several of those who witnessed the ac
cident said last night that when the boy was
first on the track the car was fully 300 feet
away, and it could have been stopped in
ample time to avoid striking the child had
it been moving at an ordinary rate of speed.
There was considerable Indignation among
the bystnrders, most of whom regarded the
accident as the result of carelessness on the
part of the conductor and motormau. When
some of them remonstratedw-ith Conductor
Heck because ho was driving the car at
such a rapid speed he stated that it was
necessary to do so in order to make the
scheduled time now in operation on the road.
Heck, it is taid, bearsr the reputation of
biing one of the most reckless men on the
roadin running his car.

Father-in-law, Arrested.
Tho Affair Grows Out of tho Accent
Trouble Between t ho As&iatant Dis
trict Attorney and His Wife.
Columbus, Ohio, July 23. Prosecuting
Attorney Rojrers, at Akron, asks court for
the arrest or Judge Wellington Stillwell,
of Mlllersburg, on the charge of criminal
libel of his son-in-law, Tracy L. Jeffords,
of Washington City.
Ex-Congressman Alphonso Hart is Jef
fords' attorney. Tlie afrair grows out of
trouble between Jeffords and his wife.
Some months ago, Mr. Jeffords, who
is Assistant Di&tnct Attorney, unexpectedly
returned to his house from New York at
a late hour, and finding bis wife enter
taining Dr. Sigel Roush, a well-known
dentist, created a scene.
It was stated at the time tbat hot words
passed between the three, resulting in the
dentist being expelled from the house.
Both Mrs. Jeffordsand Dr Koush protested
that their relations were entirely Tree
from suspicion, and the latter asserted that
his visits were paid with the knowledge or
the husband, and, on that occasion he
called solely with reference to some lit
erary work upon which he and Mrs. Jer
fords were engaged.
It was expected that legal proceedings
would be resorted tobyMr.orMra. Jerfords,
but after a time the husband and wife
became reconciled to each other and the
subject dropped out of public recollection.
Judge Stillwell is the rather or Mrd.
Jeffords , and Mr. Jefrords believes he is the
author of a number of articles which
have appeared iu Ohio papers reflecting
upon Mr. Jeffords' character as a husband
and man.

SETTLERS LEAVING TEftggVJiP5.;
The excitement among the settlers la
North western Wyoming over the threat
ened uprising or the Bannock and Shushona
Indians is growing more intense every day.
They are 'leaving their ranches in large
numbers and gathering at favored points
for mutual protection In case the irate
Indians return to seek vengeance for tho
death of their brother braves.
The story or the killing of the three whites
and six Indians is spreading alarm at
rapid rate. Innumerable pleasure parties
have given up contemplated trips Into the
mountain country, which abounds in the
j fincst sport of all kinds at this seasn.
The settlers, too, are beconnag thoroughly
aroused, and if they are not soou protected
by government troops they will take the
field in protection of their own homes
and lives, and they are well qualified by
long experience m thts country to do even
more elective righting than the regulars.
REDS AFRAID OF COWBOYS.
Tlie Indians realize that the cowboys are
more dangerous than the troops. The Reds
know that they can surrender to th sol
diers and they .will be in no further
danger, but when the rrontier votanteera
go out to Tight Indians they fight as the
Indians do themselves. They shoot to

the reservation and that several hundred
Shoshone bucks from the Vfiad River
reservation have started to joro and aid
the Bannocks are not the bost indications
that the ill-reeling engendered by tho
killing of the Indian hunters will end
without further trouble.
In addition to these evidences the sensi
ble Indians who have remained on the
reservation to put up their hay and who
advised against this hunt say the Indiana
want to fight, and everyone who knows
anything about the hardy frontiersmen of
Northwestern Wyoming knows tbat If
the Indians are looking for a fight they
will find it.
