The Kanaa Governor Hal Good Word for Every Republican Leader. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 19. Gover nor Morrill of Kansas, who is here, asked who was the favorite for the Republican Presidential nomination in Kansas, replied: "William McKlnley is decidedly the choice of the Kansas Re publicans. He is a level headed and aafe man. He has personal popularity with the people of the West. Reed, however, is an Intellectual giant. He has many admirers in Kansas and throughout the West and he is gener ally regarded as one of the most bril liant men in public life. Allison is highly respected and his nomination would be very acceptable to Kansas, but I do not expect to see it. I met Allison a short time ago and he told me frankly that he did not intend to make any special push for the nomin ation this year as he had in previous years.

The Outrage and Murder of Mrs. Cain Awfully Avenged Near Fulton, Mo. Fulton, Mo., Aug. 16. When It be came known Wednesday that Emmet Dlvvers, the negro who brutally assaulted and butchered Mrs. Cain, wifa of a prosperous farmer of this county, about three weeks ago, was to be brought back here from St Louis for his pre liminary examination, the people or ganized as vigilantes and armed men guarded all the roads Into the town and searched all trains. The sheriff left St. Louis with his prisoner at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday af ternoon for this place, where Divvers was to be tried yesterday. Word was sent to hira that Fulton was full of desperate men all clamoring for ven geance and that Divvers would never be granted the formality of a trial. He, however, hoped to outwit them, lie decided to leave the train at New Florence and telegraphed to have a conveyance waiting at the depot on his arrival. New Florence was reached at 7:40 o'clock. The wretch was at once hurried into the carriage, which stood in waiting.and in less than three minutes he was being hurried to this place, thirtv-flve miles distant. After proceeding in this way for about a mile the command was again given by those in advance to halt. The crowd dismounted and immedi ately collected around the carriage. A moment later the negro, more dead than alive, was dragged over the wheel. A rope was quickly wound around his body and his arms pinioned to his sides. Then Buchanan ind Buckner were ordered back into the carriage and the mob turned away, half leading and half dragging the negro, and con ducted hira to the bridge. When the center was reached, a rope was quickly placed about his neck and the other end fastened to one of the beams. Then, without giving him a chance to Bay a word, he was pushed off the side and, after waiting a few moments to be sure that their work was done, the mob rode away. At 12 o'clock the corpse of the lynched negro was brought into Fulton in a wagon followed by a procession of nearly 1,000 people. The calvacade halted at the public square. Then, at the request of the husband of the murdered woman, the corpse was hanged to the cross arm of a tele graph pole, where, at 2:30 o'clock it was still hanging, before thousands who throng the streets. Divvers had expected this fate, for before he left St. Louis he said to those in the jail there that they would never see him alive again. He ac knowledged the crime, but said that he did not intend to kill Mrs. Cain. SHOT IN A COURT ROOM. Newton Winn Fatally Wounded by Watt Reed at Flatte City, Mo. Platte Crrr, Mo., Aug. 17.

The Boilers in the Cumry House Blow Up and Cause Untold Havoc Among Sleep ing Guests and Employes Disaster Oo ours at ' Midnight. Denver, Col., Aug. 19. The Gumry hotel, Nos. 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, was wrecked by a terriflo explo sion at 12:10 a. m. The rear end of the building, a five story brick and stone structure, went down with a crash. The hotel was crowded with guests and many of them must have been killed, as well as the entire force of hotel employes, who were sleeping in that portion of the building at the time. On both sides of Lawrence, from Seventeenth to Eighteenth streets, and on Laramie directly back of the Gumry the plate glass windows of the busi ness houses were blown In, and a num ber of pedestrians were injured by fall ing glass. The fronts of many build ings in the vicinity were badly wrecked. The hotel structure for 100 feet along the alley, and extending for seventy-five feet toward the front, is merely a mass of debris. Brick and Elaster are plied in a heap twenty feet igh, and from this mass of wreckage can be heard the moans of the injured and dying. At 12:35 five injured per sons had been taken out. They were all inmates of the upper story, and sank down with the floors, escaping more fortunately than those below, who are still buried in the ruins. The firemen are working like beav ers, digging into the debris, but are making little progress. The remain ing portion of the building, from which the guests are being removed by ladders as fast as possible, is ex pected to fall at any moment, and pre cautions to avert further loss of life add to the difficulty in reaching the dead and injured. By some estimates forty people were in the portion of the hotel destroyed, nearly all of whom must be dead. The cause of the explosion is uncertain, but it is supposed that the battery of boilers in tin hotel basement must have ex ploded. EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS.
