(iov. 3IeKi lley Says tin Affair
Speaks for it sell.
Coi.imb! s, O., Oct. 18. Jasper Dolby,
the negro sen enced at Washington Court
House to twet.ty yearn imprisonment far
a criminal assault on a white woman, was
lauded iu tho penitentiary at 7 o'clock
this morning. He was escorted by Sher
iff Cook and Deputy En-sick, accompan
ied on the train by the Columbus com
panies of the Ohio National guard.
The prisoner was taken from the train
t Deunison aveaus, not corning into the
union station, and walked to the prison,
one wall of which is on Die avenue. The
military remained in the cars and were
carried to t he union station. All troops
have left Was lington court house.
A Columlui Dispatch reporter who
came up with the train states that after
midnight things at the court house
quieted down very much. The citizens
had nearly all pone home. Yet many
persons stood on the neighboring cor
tiers until a much la'er hour,
discussing the- affair as may be readily
imagined in tcnneclion with such a ter
rible rensation as the killing of two men
and the wounding of eleven others by
the militia.
Some of these people who remained
about the court house were supposed to
in the plot to blow up the building
with dynamite. There had been so much
talk as, out a possible occurrence of that
kind, iased upjn what seemed to be re
li.it le evidence tuat the vigilance of the
military was not relaxed iu the least.
.Surjjli: k Crowds of Men.
The military all told until o":o0 a. in.
numbered less than 100 men. Against
the surging hundreds of men crowd
ed into or about tne court house this
small band had kept up a determined
front for 12 or 1.5 hours. l-'inally when
the First regiment from Cincinnati and
two companies from the Fourteenth at
Columbus arrived at about if. -30 a. m.. a
r.qunre was fi rmed by the men of the
Fourteenth and escorted I v the I'irst.
the line of mar m for the cars was taken
up, the negro being in the .square.
He had been in the court house about
twelve hours the officers not daring to
attempt to re'urn him to jail after the
sentence had been uassed. Ea route to
the cars in the a lrly morning, nothing of
interest occurred except that a good
many people ware still on the streets.
Ctterins; Threat.
Beyond an occasional voice in the still
ness uttering threats ana disapproval,
the affair closd in a rather weird way.
Jus' before the troops departed the death
of G. V. Johnson, or -Mac" Johnson,
was announced making three dead. He
was shot in tho stomach and lived at
Kyles. Butler county, Ohio. The old
man, Frank Nied-srhouse aged 70, shot
iu the leg and suffering from amputation
cannot survive. lie was the only promi
nent citizen inj ired. Theodore Ammer
man, aged 22, at last accounts is still in a
c ritical condition.
Iteiufoi cements I. ate in Arrhint;.
The reinforcements called for by
Sheriff Cook at 4 p. m. yesterday did not
arrive until 3 30 this "morning and the
shooting at citizens having occurred
about 7 p. m., 1ns set on foot an investi
gation to ascertiiu whether the cause of
the delay iu arrival cf the reinforce
ments was due to the railroad company
or ttie military department. It is proper
to Mate that trie soldiers had to be gath
ered from their respective vocations or
homes.
The Colinbtu companies were held
here to wait for a Marysville company
and left at 11 p. m. It is thirty-nine miles
to Washington Court House. The train
stopped at Mou it Sterling, twenty-three
miles from here; to pick up a company,
l ife M light lla.e IWrn Saved.
The Ciucinna i troops according to the
statement of a railroad were to arrive at
Washington Court House by the same
line but from ai. opposite direction and
were t be timed so as to arrive simul
taneously with the troops from Colum
bus. Inquiry t lone can determine the
cause cf delay i l arrival. The criticism
is that a greater promptness on the part
of somebody migat have saved the loss
of life.
Cov. Mr Kin ley on Hie Mob.
Gov. McKiulev being asked about the
affair as to what lie desired to say, said:
"The act apeak for itself; troops were
tent to act ia aid of the authorities who
were powerless to quail a mob that was
seeking to overthrow the law and its
old erly ad m i u ist r a t ion."
The governor was up all night in a
eteeping car iu direct communication
till ii:30 a. m. wit h his adjutant general
and came through Washington Court
House at about 7 o'clock, having left
Cincinnati at ::3) a. in., the car having
b'ood iu the Citicicnati station until time
for the departure of the train.
The governor says he will not leave
Ohio so long as there is a possibility of
trouble. He bat, recei.ved a number of
tele-rams to the effect that his -stand for
law and its prorer enforcement will ha
heartily approved of by all wise lovers
or state and country."
He has caticled speaking engage
ments at Louis. -ill and Nashville and
the meeting at New Orleans will depend
upon the developments of today. The
feeling here is t;iat the governor would
be justilied in g )ing to New Orleans, but
he eays: "it ii t etter to stay here a little
too long than to go a little too soon.
Prisoner He In't ; nitty.
The prisoner Hated to the prison offl
il that he was not guiltv, but had en
tered a plea of guilty because he had
been informed that he was to be mobbed
and that this was the only way to escape
with his life. He claimed never to have
been arrested or charged with tLe slight
est infraction of law.
Dr. lreton, in making the physical
examination, said Uolbys trembled and
his heart tluttered as a result of his
scare. The fact in this case is that he
was clearly identified by his victim.

Cincinnati, Oct. IS.- The Commercial
Gazette dispatch from Washington Court
House ttarts out as follows:
"Blood has been spilled at Washington
Court Huse and it will re st with an in
vestigation to determine whether or not
the troops were author:.;-d to resort to
this last step in the discharge of a sworn
duty. Whatever may be the result of
this finding, it is doubtful if the people
of J'ayett t county will e.v.-r reirard thostt
who died last night at the hands of the
militia as other than maityrs iu a right
eous cause, although some at least of
them were, waeu they received their
death wounds, engaged in unlawful acts.
"In the cas-i of the negro, William
Jasper, or Dolly, the usually conserva
tive and law-abiding citizens of this
county lost all eight of the- legal aspects
of the case, and coul lsee but the scound
j rel and the gray haired woman who was
his victim. Kach had in iiis own mind
j decreed death us the punishment of the
i guilty wretch. And to enforce that
j judgment he came here armed to resist
j and overpower, if need be, all the au
I thorities created and maintained by him-
uelf."
Afternoon at Washington Court IIoue.
A Commercial Gazette special, de
scribing tne afternoon at Washintrtou
Court House, says: The .soldiers had easy
duty guar Jing the jail, the greater num
ber of citizens remaiuiug on the oppo
site side of the court house until o:o0
o'clock. By that time the people had
learned it was intended to have the ne
gro arraigned and sentenced in time to
take him to Columbus on the train le.av-
i iug here at 4:3U.
Col. Coit was in the act of taking the
prisoner fiom the jail to tie court house
to receive his sentence. Sentries at close
intervals and with arms port kept the
line clear. There was menace in the
restless movement of the mob. When
all was ready the side door of the jail
was opened and Deputies Dusick and
Caldwell with the pinioned negro
stepped out upon the walk.
Cries of "Kill Ifim.
There was au instant of b ushed silence.
Then canie cries of "Doti't let him go up;
get him, kill him,'" an i the mob rushed to
ward the sentries. The latter took tae posi
tion of charge and then stood lirm. The
wave broke only when steel met liesh.
At the tirst cry the deputies, u ho were
surrounded by Sheriff C iuk, Col. Coit,
Major Skeads and other oilicars, rapidly
pushed the negro up the stone t-tepsnear
the top ci which occurred the most seri
ous troublo.
Here the most determined rush was
made and the soldiers. were forced to ue
their bayonets. Among the foremost
was gray haired Henry Kirk, a I rother-in-law
of the victim. He pushed for
ward until he touched tlu legs of tiie
flying negro, when u side blow from a
bayonet tumble 1 him down the steps.
The negro was bustled up the stairs into
the court room.
When Jasper was called upon to rise
and plead he had to be assisted to his
feet. He made repeated attempts to
speak and finally whispered "guilty" in
a barely audible tone.

At i;i sta, Ga.. ct. 18. As the con
gressional campaign in Georgia draws to
a close it becomes more and more evi
dent that at least three of tiie Democratic
uominees will be defeated.
In this (the Tenth) district, now repre
sented by Hon. J. C. Black,
who is a candidate for re-election,
Tom Watsou, is making a win
ning race. Vv'ashington county,
which went Democratic ou the iird
of October, it is now admittel by the
Democrats themselves, wdl give Watson
majority of 0;)0. In the election of two
years ago Augusta gave a majority of
over Uuub for Black. It was this that de
feated Watsou.
In the Fourth district, Hon. Carey
Thornton, llepublicau, indorsed by tiie
Populists, will defeat the sittintr mem
ber, Mosea, by at least 0,0)0. The de
moralization in the Democratic ra iks of
that district is so complete that it is im
possible to get up a public moetiug.
The third district which is certain
to go anti-Democratic, is the Ninth,
now represented by Frank Cartar Tate,
This is known ats the Moonshine district
of Georgia. The deputy marshals and
deputy revenue collectors appointed
under Cleveland have pressed these
people so unrelentingly for the fees that
were in the busiaers that they are
thoroughly aroused. The Populist can
didate, Newton Twitty, is eloquent on
the stump and is stirring Lp tiie voters.
The Seventh district will hi close, with
chances slightly in favor of Maddox,
Democrat; but Dr. Fulton, Lis opponent,
is making a game tight.

Cot
New York, Ocl. 18. No progress has
yet been made toward harmonizing the
Democratic factions iu the congressional
districts of this city which wuro so ur
gently recommended by the chairmau of
the congressional campaign committee.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, in
the address he issued on Tuesday. Iu
; eight of the nine districts comprised
! exclusively within the city of New York,
! there are opposition Democratic candi
i dates.
i Tammany was first in the field with
i its nominations, and for one reason or f
another "turned down' about half of the '
delegation as it exists -in the Fifty-third
conyress. John Dfwitt Warner was
I elbowed out of the nomination in the
j Thirteenth district by the transfer there
I of Amos J. Cummings from the Eleventh.
Iu. J. Dunjmy, who lias contuma
ciously delied Tammany. was re
tired. The redoubtable Timothy J.
Campbell was deemed to have had
his full share of honor and
dignity and the nomination in his dis
trict was given to Henry C Miner, the
theatrical manager. Bourse Cockran
was shelved, as it is aliened, by the ex
press direction of Mr. Croker, to make
place for George B. M cCIeilan, the youner
president of the board of aldermen and
son of the general of the same name, and
some other changes in the delegation
were made.
Dunphy and Campbell have had their
names placed upon the state Democratic
ticket. Every member of the delegation
with one exception, who voted for the
Wilson bili, was passed over by Tam
many. Ex-Mayor Grace, who represents
the State Democracy, has demanded an
equitable division of the nominations be
tween his organization and Tammany,
and specifically the restoration of Cock
ran and Warner, but up to the present
has obtained no assurance that his claim
for the state Democracy will be al
lowed. There is scarcely any doubt that the
city districts all of which are now repre
sented by Democrats will be safe for
either Tammany or the state Democratic
candidate should both remain in the cou
test. Chairman Faulkner is reported to have
said in Washington since his return from
New York, that he had reason to hope
for an arrangement upon a satisfactory
basis, but upon what this hope is found-
ed, he has not indicated. The appear- i
a nee of Senator Hill's name at the head
of both the Tammany and the stale dem
ocratic tickets may also complicate mat
tars. Nathan Straus, Tammany, or the reg
ular nominee for mayor, claims that he
should have exclusive benetit of what
ever prestige there may be upon the reg
ular state ticket. Seuator Hill has de
clined to refuse tiie use of his name to
the state Democracy, which is support
ing Strong, a Republican, for mayor, and
Straus and his friends are in consequence
much disali'ected toward the senator.
An evening paper says that Mr. Straus
has sent his private secretary to Mr.
Hill with the ultimatum that the Sena
tor must discountenance the state
Democratic ticket by refusing
to allow his name to appear upon it with
that of Mr. Strong, Citizens and Repub
lican nominee for mayor, or he (Straus)
would withdraw from the regular Tain
manv ticket ,

It is not generally known that the
loan made about a year ago in London
by the Santa Fe company, ou which -5,-000,000
"B" bonds were given as collat
eral, has never been finally paid off.
Says u New York dispatch:
"East February the court authorized the
payment of this loan by the receivers in
four installments beginning in March.
Only the hrst of these installments
amounting to 5 per cent of the loan was
actually paid off. The balance stiil re
mains due, and owing to the bad earn
ings and straitened finances of the prop
erty cauuot yet be paid. The Atchison,
therefore, still owes over $1,500,000 in

of the "B" bonds. The collateral is in

Topulists .Say They Have This Uistrict by
1,000 Votes.
The Populist congressional comniittse
of the Fourth district have completed
their poll of all the counties in the dis
trict, and Chairman A. M. Harvey said to
a State Jocknal reporter this afternoon
that his figures show a majority for S. M.
Scott of not less than l,0oO voltss.
Chairman Harvey says "Scott will
carry all the couuties in the district ex
cept Marion and Shawnee, which are
conceded to Curtis. Scott will come up
to Shawuee with 2,000 majority, which
will elect him, as Curtis will carry
Shawnee by not to exceed 80O or 1,000.
"Marion county will give Curtis n ma
jority of loss than loO, while Osage
county will give the same kind of a
Populist majority it did in lbyO."
. According to Chairmau Harvey's fig
ures Charley Curtis' majority iu Shaw

be reduced to 1,000.
Chairman Elliott of the Republican

There are four prominent candidates
for the otlice of city engineer, made va

man. They are Col. Win. Tweeddale,
John Roigers, James McCabe and Wm.
II. Barnes.
All the candidates have had experi

Tweeddale having held the office several
years ago. Mr. McCabe is the assistant
city engineer and Mr. Rodgers was also
an assistant until the council reduced
the forco. Mr. Barnes has recently been
doing some work in the ollice.
The mayor has given no intimation as to
who the appointee will be and the couu-

the unexpected thing so they ao not even
offer a suggestion about who the man
may be.
There ia some disposition to leave the

the engineer to do during the vviuter. If
this is done the city engineer's salary for
the time will be saved to the city and the
affairs of the ollice will be looked after

An Officer Puts Out the Fire ami
Averts a Panic.
New York, Oct. IS. The World thia
morning says: The reception given by
the Irish National Federation to Ed
ward Blake, M. P., at the Lennox Lyce
um last uight was productive of some
results never dreamed of by its origina
tors. In the heart of the meeting and
while all eyes were turued upou Mr.
Blake as he stood ou the platform deliv
ering one of his most impressive
speeches, a short, stoutly built, frowsily
dressed, bent oid man, with the hair,
moustache, hook nose and stooping
shoulders peculiar to the popular con
ception of an anarchist, walked swiftly
around to the back of the front tier of
boxes until he reached the last one near
est the platform and to the left of the
proscenium arch.
In his hand he carried an old, bulky
green gingham umbrella, which he seem
ed to hold with peculiar tenderness, out
side the box he stopped, hesitated a
moment and then entering, took a chair
in a corner nearest the stage. On the
other side of the box were a couple Raid
to tie Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Tliompaon. The
old man left in a minute.
It. might have been a minute or two
later when a sharp cry from the women
in the box resounding through the house
startled everyone from their seatj and
stopped the speaker, in trie same
moment there leaped out a gush of flamo
and smoke, and then followed the shriek
of 'fire" and the simultaneous movement
of live hundred panic-stricken creatures
to the door.
But even as they turned Patrolman
Lillie rushed into the box, violently
dancing on something w ith his feet. Then
the stentorian voice of Mr. Blake rang
through the big building, calling on his
audience to keep their seats.
"The tire's out. Come back," cried he.
The flamo had gone aud the smoke dis
appeared. As Lillie stooped to pick up
the burning frame, he saw lying among
the fragments of the gingham a small,
stout tube, or bottle. lie picked it up,
and then he feltsure that he was handling
an able-bodied, nicely finished bomb.
The tube was about eight inches long
and about two in circumference. It was
capped with a covering of gelatine. The
tube was filled with a white liquid, which
the police think is nitric acid. Attached
to the gelatine had been a piece of fuse
haif burned away.
The police say that the old man had
lighted the fuse in some .ay while he
was in the box or just on entering, but
the llame had caught the gingham be
fore it could reach the gelatine.
Those in charge of the meeting tried
to hush up the affair. Joseph Harring
ton at first admitted that the bomb was
one of the typical nitro-glyccrine va
riety. Mr. Blake's address was mainlv a de
fense of the coalition policy lately adopt
ed by the home rulers in reference to
the Liberal party. Ho pointed out that
inasmuch as the house of lords had re
jected the home rule bill, and that the
measure could uot again be Carried, ex
cept after a eecoud appeal to the1 people of
England, it was better that the Irish par
liamentary party should work with the
liberals in furtherance of certain Demo
cratic English measures, and thus by
their forbearance establish a claim on
the gratitude of the English people. He
declared that the party, although differ
ent iu details, was united ou the main
question of home rule.
