Double Murder Followed Suicide.

James Waril Killed Aaron Hunter, Hi9

The youn. Hunter got up and went out into the yard with only his shirt on, when Ward, with a stroke of the a^, felled him to the ground. Young Hunter died almost immediately, with his head split open.

Ward then told his wife to keep quiet about the whole affair that if she did not she would suffer the same fats as I her father and brother. Ward then went about a half mile down the road and stopped at the Beckels' house. He told Mrs. Beckels that he had killed both the Hunters.

Before many hours the brime was generally known and a posse consisting of miners and farmers started on the hunt of Ward armed with various •weapons. Ward had two revolvers. The posse became enraged, and when the old man's body was found the mob became more determined than ever and determined to hang Ward if captured.

Just as the posse had located Ward and surrounded the field iix which he iiad been hiding a single shot was heard. The posse closed in on the spot from whence the firing had come, and found Ward'"on his back on the ground with a revol\ er in either hand and a. bullet wound under the left ear. He was already dead.

OUR TROUBLE WITH SPAIN.

Americans in Cuba jUaySonn (lave Some lligttts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The state de- ssntations of partsiient receix*ed a cablegram yesterday from Consul General Williams at Havana, stating that Aguirra had been released by the Spanish authorities, and Sanguilly would be granted a civil trial soon.

This was welcome news to the department. as the case of these two United States citizens imprisoned in Cuba has -dragged tediously for mouths. Consul General Williams was active in seeking protection for Aguirra aud Sanguilly, so much so that, he offended the former Spanish minister, Murauga, •who requested his recall. Later the state depnrtment have made very energetic representations at Madrid, and Havana. These first bore fruits in the concession that Aguirra and Sanguilly would be given civil and not militax-y trials. The release of Aguirx-a and the prompt trial of Sanguilly will secure everything for which the United States lias contended.

Why Minister ."Uuruaga Resigned.

LONDOX, Sept. 7.—A dispatch from Madrid says that Muruaga. the formsr Spanish minister at Washington, who l-esigned, has made a public statement that he handed in his resignation because he had proof that the Conde de Venadito was justified when she fired at the Allianca, that the American steamer earned contraband goods and was but a mile and a half from the Cuban coast. He would not consent that Spain should be put in the wrong.

DANGLGD FROM A TIL EE.

ATHTTEviiAjE, Tenn.,Sept. 7.—Monday night the residence of Mrs. Jones was entered :y a negro. There was no one at home but Mrs. Jcues and her U' ed mother. The negro seized Mrs. Jones and a desperate struggle ensued. She was locked senseless to the fbov with a piece of lead pipe, but Mr. Jones appoavoa :i the scene just at this moment an tin fiend disappeared hi tne aarkne.ss. He was descrtoed by tne women, an:: a negro named Doc King, who filled the description, was arrested.

Thursday the ladies came to town and were taken to the jail. All tho colored prisoners were turned together and King was pointed out as the one who attempted the assault. That night about 9 o'clock a crowd of about 300 ordei'ly but determined men went to the jail, anc' as Sheriff Rogers aud his daughter were ill, the keys to the jail were in some way procured, and earlv yesterday morning the dead body of King was foixhd dangling from a tree in the outskirts of the town. King bore an unenviable reputation, and it is strongly believed that lie was tho person who has entered many houses in this vicinity of late.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The United States government, it is authoritatively announced at the state department, lias decided to enter forthwith upon an independent investigation of the ChengTu riots with the co-operation of a Chinese representative.

As at first arranged the inquiry was to hive been made in co-operation with England, bur there litis been a change of plan within tho past few days occasioned by the fact that the British consul at Chung-King, who is to conduct the investigation on behalf of his government, has been detained at his post, and it is said will iiot be able to begin the inquiry for a month or more.

There are also understood to be other reasons why the -state department of this government has decided upon an independent investigation, such as France has already made, and such as Eugland will make £.ter. It is said at the state department that it is not true, however, as has been' represented, that the policy of this government has been changed by any feeling of dissatisfaction or resentment caused by whatever apparent delay has sxxpervened on England's part in proceeding with the inquiry. The department has other reasons which it is not yet prepared to make public.

China is expected to lend her support to the American inquiry to the extent of supplying an escort to the persons who will conduct it, but who have not yet been designated, and will probably furnish an official who will co-operate with the American investigator as in the Ku-Clieng investigation. The investigation is expected to be made by some official now on the Chinese coast. It will probably take a month to. reach Cheng-Tu, which is the capital of ..the interior province of Sze-Chuau, aud lies some 1,500 miles from the nearest ocean port.

THE KU-CHcNG RIOTS.

The Leader of Tliem in Custody—Many Arrests Made.

HONG-KONO, Sopfc f.—The leader of the Ku-Cheng riexa, in v&luch a mumher of English and American missionaries 68c were kilied, has been arrested. An at-

I tempt was made by Chinese soldietfs to kidnap this person in the hope of secur*ing the reward which had been offered for his delivery to the authorities.

The total number of arrests thus far of those concerned in the Ku-Cheng massacre is 130. Twenty-three of the number have been convicted, but up to this time sentence has not been passed upon any of them, the viceroy of FuKien demanding the right to review the evidence adduced at the trials.

13th

Fiend Taken From a. Tcuce&>::eliavy, too. If she looks at the OJilted Jr.ii HHd Si runs Vp by a m«b. States naval list she will see something

Instant.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The Spanish 5 government has yielded to the reprethe- United States iu the matter of the place of payment of the money in satisfaction of the Mora claim, and will pay it in Washington on the date agreed on, the 15th inst. As the anxount is lax-ge, the payment will be made in exchange on Loudon and the transaction will be conducted through the state department.

It has been represented that the claimant, Antonio Mora, lias assigned so much of his claim thai lie would receive practically nothing trout tuts settlement. It is authoritatively stated in his behalf that this is not true, and that on the contrary, after all assignments are satisfied, he will have between $700,000 and $800,000. Forty per cent I of the total amount, or §600,000, is consumed in tiie payment of lawyers' tees and the expenses of the prosecution of the claim. A small part of the remaining amount has been anticipated iu meeting expenses of living.
