FEHITT AT H15ST.

PARIS, March 23.—Thousands of strangers came to the city Wednesday to attend the funeral of Jules Ferry. An immense mortuary chapel, with nave nnd transepts, had been erected in the court yard of the Luxembourg. It was draped with black cloth edged with silver lace and emblazoned with the monogram of the dead statesman. The coffin, covered with a crimson and white pall, remained until 1 o'clock in the Salle des Gardes, where the body had lain in state, and was then removed to the catafalque. Shortly before the body was born up the aisle tho nuive was illuminated by the lighting of the enormous candelabra, and hundreds of tapers were placed in single lines on each side of the row of flaming cressets which extended to the right and left before the platform.

Placed Fluwers on tho Coflln.

The persons having invitations began to arrive at 11 o'clock. There were judges, cabinet ministers, generals, diplomates, senators, duputies, authors, naval officers, many of them with wreaths, sheaves and floral crosses, which they laid around the coffin. The municipal authorities came in a body, followed by delegates from scientific, military and literary associations. Every department of tho national and municipal government was represented. Outside of the catafalque rows of soldiers were drawn up along the approaches, and the mil itary bunds played dirges as tho great throng filled the chapel and grew dense around the entrance.

Tributes to tho Dead.

At 1:30 Senator Bardoux ascended the platform. In an eloquent oration he eulogized M. Ferry as a statesman of great intellectual power, Inflexible character and unwavering patriotism. Senator Rardoux was followed by Casimir Perriere, president of the chamber of deputies, M. Meline and the president of the council general of the department of the Vosges, all of whom spoke of M. Ferry's courage, patriotism and sterling integrity.

M. lUbot Spoke with Feeling-.

M. Ribot spoke at the greatest length and with evident emotion. He said of M. Ferry: "lie was a man of mature and unerring judgment. He had a supreme contempt of underhand expedients in public or private life. He had that elevated disdain of malicious attacks from his opponents which made him a man worthy and qualified to direct the politics of his country.'

In closing M. Ribot expressed the expectation that the hope uttered by M. Ferry in his inaugural address as president of the senate, of seeing an undivided Franco rally round the standard of the republic, would be realized soon -and the nation would march forward on the round of progress, the better and the more aspiring for having had a leader of such nobility as M. Ferry.

Covered with tho Tricolor.

The coffin, covered with the tricolor, was placed on the funeral car, and, escorted by infantry, cavalry and artillery, was borne from the Luxembourg. It was followed by an almost endless procession through streets filled with uncovered crowds. Balconies and windows from the Luxembourg to the railway station were thronged with silent men and women. At the station tho troops pressed back the crowd and formed double lines, between which the coffin was carried to the train for St. Die.

There was no disorder during the services or on the way to the railway station, although the police had expected and prepared for a hostilo political demonstration. -AX

lie Is Pursued by Otllcers iT the I.nw and Captured—A Mob Overpowers llis Captors and Hangs thu

Cowardly llru(c.

AWI'L'I. TIIAGICDY IN IOWA. AI.IIIA, la., March 23.—W' iain Frazier killed his wifo and sister-in-law and cut oil: the leg of llis little baby at llitcman Tuesday morning. Frazier was about 4.' years old and lived at Carbotulale. A few days ago his wife left him on account of drunkenness and abuse, and taking her baby went to Iliteinan to stay with lier sister. Mrs. Harry Smith. Frazier came to Albia Tuesday and went on to Iliteinan Wednesday morning. Within ten minutes afber landing there the terrible deed was committed.

Ills Awful Crime.'

After finding the residence of Smith he walked in and plunged a knife iu his wife's heart, struck llis sister-in-law in the breast, killing her almost instantly, and then proceeded to cut oil' the leg of his baby. Neighbors heard the disturbance and instantly gave pursuit to Frazier, who had made for the woods. After about two hours' exciting chase by nearly all the citizens of the town lie was caught, and turned over to a deputy sheriff and posse, who undertook to bring him to this place. An infuriated mob of minors followed them, took Frazier from the officers and hanged him. No motive is given for the crime except anger over his wife leaving him.

Vengeance of the .Mob.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Frazier was caught at Cummings' crossing, near the Cedar mines, about 2 miles west of Albia, on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road. Deputy Sheriff Joe Lewis, of Albia, took charge of the murderer and placed him in Ills buggy for the purpose of taking him to Albia. Th offieer was aided by a few of the cooler men. Mr. Lewis endeavored to get tlie prisoner away to a place of safety, but the enraged mob only be came more furious, and seizing the frightened und cowering murderer took him back to Hiteman to the house where the terrible crime wao com mitted. A i-ope was placed around his neelt and he was hanged to a tree near the house where tho victims of his murderous knife lay dead. The body was left hanging to the tree. A brutal crime had been terribly avenged and members of the infuriated mob dispersed one by one to their homes. Deputy Sheriff Lewis took ehargo of the remains and the coroner was sent for.

Said Ho Was Crazy.

When the pursuers came up Frazier had a knife in his hand, but the sight of a revolver seemed to unnerve hirn and he throw down the weapon, saying: "I had to kill her. She refused to live with me." "What did you cut the child for'" demanded one man. "It coudu't have hurt you in any way." "I was crazy and didn't'know what I was doing," replied Frazier, and began to cry in a maudlin way.

The men with tlicir captive then be Ran the march to Albia, where the jail is situated. By this time tho news of the tragedy had become known all over the village and a crowd began to gather around the men and their pris

Threats begau to be heard and Fraxier soon realized that his position was a dangerous one. "Uet me to the jail as fast as you can," he pleaded.

As the men tramped along the miners from this place, 'who had heard of the murders, began to come up. They are a determined .and dangerous lot of men when their passions are aroused, and from their demeanor it was soon evident that they didn't intend Frazier should ever reach the jail alive. "Let's lynch him," suggested one. and the idea at once caught the grim fancy of the crowd, which was grow ing larger every moment

Just at this time Deputy Lewis came up and took charge of the prisoner, who was almost paralyzed and fainting from fear. Great drops of sweat stood upon his forehead and his eyes were bulging from his head. His knees trembled, so great was his fright, and ho begged the deputy to get him out of the way as soon as possible.

The sight of Frazier's arrant cow ardice, and the fact that lie had just committed a horrible crime upon two helpless women and a baby, inflamed the anger of the mob of miners to the highest pitch, and tho officer knew in stinetively that the murderer's chance for life was gone. He had had previous experiences with the miners before and well knew that it would take a regiment of troops to protect Frazier from the infuriated mass of men that was growing larger every minute.

Seized by the Miners.

Step by step the officers and their ghastly prisoner advanced and Frazier felt somewhat encouraged, feeling the jail might possibly bo reached before the mob could make up its mind what to do. llis feeling of security was of short duration, however, for soon a miner stepped up to Deputy Lewis and said gruflly: "We want this man." "He is iu the hnn4s of the law tu4

you can't have him,'" responded tho deputy. No other words were spoken, for th« miner# sprang upon the officer and tore llis prisoner from him. Although the deputy fought manfully he was ike straws in a whirlwind and absolutely helpless. lli-aifgcd to HU Death.

Frazier pave vent to despairing shrieks and prayers, intermingled with curses, but they were unheeded. The mob. quiet a moment before, was Midlenly transformed into a lot of demons, and iu their anger nearly tore tho wretched murderer to pieces. As ho was dragged along tlie ground llis executioners kicked and beat him with every imaginable weapon that came handy, and when he at last reached tho tree that was to do duty as his gibbet ho was nearly dead.

At a Hope's F.IUL

In an instant a rope was tied around the neelt of the wretch and he was swinging from a limb. As soon as it was certain he was dead the mob quietly dispersed, the miners going to work again as coolly as though nothing had happened. A few persons lingered around watching the body as it swung idly with tlie passing breezes ill ghostly silhouette against the dark gray sky, and there it hung until Deputy Lewis came and had it cut down.

Tlie corpse presented a ghastly appearance, the clothes being almost torn to shreds, the tonguo hanging out and the face a deep purple, liefore he became unconscious Frazier must have suffered all the agonies of the damned for his countenance was distorted und bore a look of the greatest agony.

ARTHUR OBEYS.

Ho Complies with .Judge lUrks* Order and 1'laccs the Engineers' Boycott Kulc in Evidence.

TOLEDO, O., March 23.—Grand Chief Arthur has compiled with the order of Judge Ricks issued last week. That order called upon him to bring into court the law, rule or regulation requiring the members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to refuse to handle the freight or property of the Ann Arbor Railroad company. The affidavit was filed by Frank II. Hurd Wednesday morning. It complies fully with what was asked by the court. While it does not give Chief Arthur any direct- authority to order a boycott, the fact is plain that the members of tho brotherhood are ordered to.be loyal to their organization and compelled to refuse, to handle freight, cars or property- of any railroad on which there is a strike.

J. R. Watson, of the grievance committee, after a great deal of evasion admitted that any member of tlie brotherhood who refused to strike after having been ordered by the chief to do so was liable to expulsion from the order and forfeiture of life insurance and all the benefits attached to membership. The. examination of witnesses will be. continued this morning, and it is not likely that the arguments in that case will be reached before Friday.

The examination of witnesses in tho contempt eases has proceeded slowly. The tendency of all the prosecution's evidenco lias been to show that the men broke an interstate commerce law and disregarded tlie orders of Judgo Ricks when they refused to haul Ann Arbor freight. The Lake Shore is trying to show that the men made their retusril knowing full well what tin: law was as well as being apprised of the order. The defense lias not completed its evidence, but what is in shows that the men had never heard of the court's order until tliey resigned from the service of tho company. They claim that it was not then applicable, and they are not, therefore, guilty as charged.

THE SOUVENIR COINS.

PHILADELPHIA, March 23.—Before the close of the week there will be no less than l,643,000 Columbian half dollars in tho special vault in which they aro kept in tho United States mint in this city, and probably by Saturday the five millionth or last coin of tho series will be struck ami placed aside with Col.

Of all the coins shipped but 5,000 have been shipped elsewhere than to Chicago.
