a negro, who is charged with assault
and attempted crime upon two white
girls. Williams entered their roc m
while they were asleep, and had seized
one of the girls when he was fright ned
away.

troops is possible.
At 11:30 o'clock the mob surrounded
the jail and called for Williams.
FIREBUG LYNCHED.
A Negro Strung Up for Setting Fire to a
Church.
Houston, Texas. July 25.-Some two
weeks ago a negro was lynched in
Grimes county. Last night a church,
at Fuqua Prairie. was burned by an in
cendiary. Suspicion fell on John and
Randall Hamilton, negroes. The lat
ter was first found, and with a rope
around his neck, he confessed that
John burned the shureh. John was
found at his home, and his answer to
a demand for surrender was a volley
of buckshot, Van Weght being fatally
wounded and Tuck Moody slightly in
jured. The negro escaped, badly
wounded, but was recaptured to-day,
at noon, and was at once strung up.
No further trouble is expected. Re
venge for a former lyJlching, it is
thought, was the motive of the incen
diaries.

of our national production ruin will
be heaped on ruin.
"True, the treaty has not yet been
ratified, and we affirm that it will not
be without discussion. Industrial and
agricultural associations on every side.
Indeed, are becoming agitated and
manifold protests are being made, and
when the chamber reassembles the
government will find itself face to face
with an opposition formidably equip
ped with arguments, and which will
energetically lay bare the fatal con
sequsentes of the convention which ts
cruelly betrays French Interests."

PLEADING THE LAW,
The Bishop of C(leveland Makes an Ap
peal for Peace.
Cleveland, July 26.--Citizens of Cleve
land, almong whom the street car strike
is the chief topic of conversation, to
day added their commeNtts to the ad
dress Issued by the Right Rev. Ignatius
F. Horstannrm, bishop of the diocese of
Cleveland. The utterances of the Cath
olic divine, a n,.n of great influence
among the people of his denomination
throughout Ohl.,. are regarded as viv
Idly expressive of the sIturation here,
and It is expetld his message, plead
ing that law swill be observed and the
civic digniy upheld, will result in the
subduing of mtut of the violence which
has made the past week an epoch In
local history. The address follows:
"To Our BelRed Chlldren of the
Laity in the City of Cleveland-Gretr
ing: As the times are so perilous in our
beloved city of Cleveland we are forced
to publicly commlunicate our sorrow
over the frightful events of the last
few days. No matiter what may have
been the grie\van' s of the employes of
the Cleveland Fletrlc Railway com
pany; no matter what may have been
your sympathy fir the strikers, after
the outrages that have been committed:
Litter the terrorizing of the inhabitants
of Clevelndnd dan its suburbs; after the
danger to life 'a,ltl property which has
followed: after the vlolent resistance
to the constltuted civil authority, it is
our sacred duty to remind you all cf
all of your solemn obligations to Al
'mighty God as Christians and to your
city and country as citizens In this em
ergency. It has atl ays been our proud
est boast as Amerlcans that we have
shown the world that we are capable
of self govlermlnltitr: that nowhere on
earth are la\ a:nd order so well re
spected and obey,'d: thait here, at least,
true Liberty reinrs, and that every
guaratnty is givti n for the full pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness.
"But now. alas, \\hat do we witness?
Anarchy reigns' tiot and rebellion pre
vails! The c.lvil at!:horlties and military
are openly ras;s.td' The citizens are
terrorized by the nob, and the militia
must be called iut to preserve order.
The fair nane isf our city as a law
abiding communilty is in danger. Busi
ness has been paralyzed. Visitors fear
to enter our portals: citizens are in con
stant danger of their lives.
"What then is your duty to God, your
duty in consciien, to your churchl and
your country? It a to uphold the civil
authorky ito obey the laws; to give no
countenance to nlob violence: to shtow
no sytpasthy for those who are in .r
bellion against law and order. Avoid
all croa'ds. 1wt no idle curiosity lead
you to mingle with those who are thus
disturbing the public peace. Remember
the words of the apostle: 'Let every

VICTORY FOR STRIKERS
Brooklyn Men Saerifted Themselves for
the Benefit of Others.
New York. July 25.-District Master
Workman James Pines of district as
sembly No. 75, Knights of Labor, leader
in the Brooklyn street oar strike, issued
the following statement to-day:
"'tlhis strike was forced upon the men
by the president of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. lit 1ill be continued
for the reason that it has the sympathy
of all the labor organizations, not only
in New York, but in the entire coun
try. The unions in Greater New York
have shown their sympathy and sup
port by their willingness to contribute
to those who were compelled 'to sacrihice
themselves for their fellow creatures.
It matters not who the men are who
will man the cars in Brooklyn here
ftter, they must receive the benefit of
the effort, and 'therefore will be much
easier 'to organize than were those who
have been driven out.
"In their homes they will be shown
the benefits they have received trom
the sacrifice of those who have autil
cdent courage to insist on their rights.
"The injustice of the number of hours
they are compelled to work each day is
so thoroughly advertised that neith,'r
the governor nor the mayor can longer
sit idly by and not recognize the jus
tice of the men's claim, and the man
agers on these railroads must seel that
if the modest request of the men had
been granted, it would !have been a
thousand ttlies less expensive than the
thing they have forced on themselves.
"As evidence of this I point to the
Coney Island and Brooklyn railroad,
which was run with-out interruption
'through two ritrikes. I mention this to
show that laboring men are not unrea
wonabie and only ask fair treatment,
and when fair treatment is given, those
giving it reap the reward.
"I will do alfrtys -gwhatever is in my
power to assist the men who have been
courageous enough Ito sacrifice them
selves for 'their fellow employes. and no
one can make me believe but that the
fellow employes who have received the
benefits will forever remember those
who made such sacrifices.
"The newspapers can claim the strike
to be a failure. but no argument that
they or anyone can use will satisfy me
that this strike has been anything but
a victory for the men, as the future
will prove.
"In justice to Albert Johnson and the
pubic. I want to say that Mr. Johnson
was opposed to this strike. He rea
soned with them and pointed out to
them why they could not win. and he
advised them to go to the mayor, and
'told them that if the mayor would act
he could settle the matter in one hour
without a strike. He also eaid to me
that he had no motive other ,than a
friendly feeling for the men who helped
him to make his money, and I am con
vinced that it is the truth."
STRIKING GAINING HEADWAY.
FI se Assorted Varieties Are On In New
York.
New York. July 25.-The clothing
workers'. freight handlers', newsboys'
and messenger boys' strikes gained
headway to-night. Leader Pines of

numbers to 3,000. Nearly 8.000 were
out in the afternoon, and several mass
meetings were held to-night. Three
thousand more men are expected to
quit work in Brooklyn this week.
One thousand freight handlers em
ployed in the Pennsylvania yards in
Jersey City decided to-day to go on
a strike at noon to-morrow for an in.
crease from 17 to 20 cents an hour.
This will increase the number of strik
ing freight handlers to 2,500.
A big meeting of the meseenger boys
who went on a strike in the office of
the American District Telegraph and
Postal Telegraph companies was held
to-night at the corner of t'ortlandt
and Church streets, and their griev
ances discussed.
Manager Wilson of the Postal Tele

much agitated and wept almost c.n
tinuously. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Far

way Rouss, Colonel Ingersoll's oldest
friend, occupied a chair by the side
of the bier. There were some 40 others
present and they remained by Dr.
John Clark Ridpath, who. In a vicde
full of emotion, said:
"My friends, it is a very sad duty
to read In the presence of the dead,
the last poem written by Colonel Rob,
ert (. Ingersoll. entitled 'Declaration
of the Free.' This poem Colonel In
gersoll had read and altered in some
of its parts only a few hours before he
was stricken down."
Maj. O. J. Smythe, who resides in
Dobbs' Ferry, and who was a -loose
personal friend of Colonel Ingersoll,
then, without preliminary words. read
another extract from Colonel Intler
sowl's writings, entitled. 'My Religion.'
Dr. John Elliott of New York read
the funeral soratlon delivered by C1ol
onel Ingersoll over his brotther's dead
body.
This concluded t'he short and inr1 pio
services. Nearly all present then t:ok
a parting look at the dead andli I a.'ed
out. After they had gone Mr. It suss
arose from his chair, and. as he is to
'tally blind, passed his hand over the
face of his departed friend and said:
"Perhaps he Is better now. No one
can understand it."
Mrs. Ingersoll said to him:
"The colonel wanted you to put y our
hand upon his heart." and suiting the
action to the word, she .fiected his
hand to the left breast of the de
ceased.
Mr. Rouss asked what she was: go.
ing to do with the remains.
"I can't give him up." she .,:'d. "I
can't put him in the ground. I car't
bear to think of it. We're 5'-uing to
bring him back 'home."
The body will prohbably be taken: to
