Ijrnchinr, interpolated now and then lice the -war. kept ftlite public ioterent la tuch atlair. Tho lynching of four of too K'eno satis sfaorlly after tn vrar marks a perioc in tho criminal history of that connErr. Thr were features about this atfair lhat resemble feature ot the lynching on eetiy ilouUay uiornins at JJeJford. Tha Uenos oparated near leymour. ana. bemnini: tDir carrrr with petty pilfer.u;, they eventually became very boid and daring. Farm houses wer robbed without respect to their cecocants and burglaries Were committed in great number at Seymour. Tho people seemed to know thot tho Keno pang was rear, ansible for the depredations, but as the family vras considered a rery dangerous ona when Its eninity wai troused. no one was willing to take the Initiative in urinsin tho members of it to book. The Kenos did not hesitate to shoot on tlie le..t proroca'tion. Their success tiuaily emboldened the in to hold up a train on th Ohio 3L 31iisinpi road, as it is stated, and a general looting followed. Individually, seTeral members of tho gang had been accused of murder. Tb train robbery brousfb down the wrath of a corporation, and four of the gansr were arrested and taken to New Albany, "where they werf I lodged in jail. As f, soon as they I Were imprisoned leoDl dared to opef mouths, and the enormity of tbo Kenos ctlences became apparent. Ono night a croud of railroad iiien Hnd citizens chartered a special tram at Seymour and went down over the old "Jell" road to New Albany. The mob went tip to the jail and demanded possession of the lie no. The doughty snerilf refused to Blve them up. and in tho melee which en aued the oUicer was shot in the arm. The outlaws were taken from their cells, and i a very short time were dangling atropes' ends over the bannisters of the secondljoor jail corridor. The mob returned to its special tram, and its incmberi ate breakfast Rt their homes in beymour. This incident cad the etleot of breaking up outlawry in that section for a while. Another famous lynching Lee vraa held at iUoomington in 1S7G. Attorney W. L, Taylor, of this city, was in school nt lHoominaton tt the time. He remembers tho career of "Crook" Mershone, who. with one or morn accomplices, committed one of the most diabolical murders on recprd. A jnan was slain and his body jammed in the tire-box of a locomotive. The locomotive tnade several trips out of lJloomlngton. Lurnintr its ghastly fuel to ashes. A railroad engineer was charged with complicity in the crime. A third party con lessed that Mershone was the murderer-inch ief. A mob battered down tho iail doors, alter Mershone was arrested, and made to li is cell. The murderer attempted to shield .himself witii a cot, but a volley was tired at him, and he died almost instantly. Tho toob was organized in rsalt Creek township. X I on roe county, and effected its mission in the early morning. A few years ago Jim Dovin and a weakminded fellow wero strung up on the bridge over Uig Indian creek, near Corydon. Xavin persuaded nis companion to no with liiia from Leavenworth to Nevin, a small station near Corydon. There they attacked and injured the family of an old man named Le Mays, afterward robbing the house. Tho mob readily dis Toed of the two . criminals after their arreet. White-capping had its origin raear Corydon and rapidly spread to other conuties. . iiarn-burning and potty stealing bad become so common that the people were in great tear and terror. The White Caps retrained from lynching, but they reported to punishment that in several cases resulted in death to the victims. The distovery of a cave in Harrison county tilled with stolen goods and the impossibility of convicting the thieves gave a gTeat 1 initios to tho movements. One man who was attacked by White Caps near Pilot Knob, in Crawford county, shot and killed Due of his assailants.

AGAINST TIIE GOVERNMENT

Tbo Eat-Trimmings Case, Involving Millionp, Won by tho Importers. Decision by tie Supreme Court Affirming Previous Rulings An Old Employe Dismissed Despite Carl beburz's Protest. IN FAVOK OF IMPORTERS The Hat-Trimmings Case Decided by the United States Saprms Court. Washington. May 15. Tfce Supremo Court ot the. United States to-day aOirtned its previous ruling, as laid down in the Langfeld case, in what is popularly known .the "hat-trimmings case." The casercame on appeal from the jad&menlB of the Circuit Courts of the United States two from the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, and one from the Northern district of Illinoisthe controversy in each case being between tho collector of tho port and the importers as to the rating to be made upon material need for bat trimmings. Justice SShiras announced the opinion and judgment of the court, in which he stated that in the Pennsylvania cases, where the judgment of the Circuit Court was in favor of the contention of the importers, that the goods in question were liablo to duty as hat trimmiiiKs. and not as silk or manufactured silk, the ruling was in accordance with the judgment of the rinpreme Court in tbo former cases adjudicated. In thlt case, said Justice .Shiras. we lind that thero was no error, and. therefore, the judgment of the Circuit Court in these two cases will stand afhrmcd. It follows from this, he said, that in the cane appealed from the Northern district of Illinois, wherein the judgment of the court was in favor of the contention of the collector, and the goods were declared to be dutiable as silt or manufactures of silk, that judgment must he reversed, and it is eo ordered. It is estimated at the Treasury Department that by the loss of tho hat trimmings case the United States wijl be called upon to refnnd from eight to ten millions of dollars. Some estimates place it us high as SO,00O.0C0. Secretary Foster's estimate was Sii.OOO.OfO. Ho offered to compromise the case for ?3,GO0,C0o, but the compromiso was not etlected. During the past three yours 82.000 of duties in these cases havo been refunded. 110S3 MUGWUMP SLAPPED. Old Employe Dlamiased by Carlisle Against the Protest of Carl Scliurz. Washington, May 15 The Washington Tost ascribes the following language to Secretary Crrlisle in an interview as to the removal of Mr. Sturtevant. head of the treasury stationery division, . who had been in tbo department thirty-two years, and whose retention was understood to bave been requested by Hon, Carl Schurz and other civil-6ervice reformers: I made this chance after mature deliberation and upon coiuj laiut from responsible aources. 1 will not call them charge. W they were putlicient to warrant anew nppopstrnent. The statement that my son Loir an ht Bnjthlcr to to do with the matter Is baseless, as he advised auaiust any ohanr at present. Tho Idea that any ollicer under this government la essential to its efficient administration is absurd. I propose to put in his place an able and broad-trauco man who will manage the purchases ot tittoueryjufrt as well as the deposed officer. The criticism indulged in come wholly from mncwump paper, which kuow nothing about tne details which brought about the change Tho resignation of Mr. Sturtevant was held up for a few days, but on Saturday I determined to accept it. and sent him a letter accordingly, as a result of these attacks. Secretary Carlisle being questioned as to the accuracy of this interview this morning said it was fairly correct, with the exception of the term "mngwump" newspapers, which he did not nse.

THE

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL DAILY, su2srr.Y WEEKLY The Journal's prico for daily is only 15 cents a week, and it has a very wide circulation, reaching a largo number of people hitherto unablo to all'ord tho luxury of a first-class daily papr. Reports from agents and subscriber! indicate a continued increase, and thai what used to bo regarded aa a luxury has becomo a necessity. Tho new readers not only remain, but they axe con stantly increasing. It is tho purposo of tho Journal tc make itself even moro indispensable tc its patrons, now and old, and to still further widen its field. To this end it will not only endeavor to maintain tho characteristics which havo established its reputation as by far tho best newspaper in Indiana, but will add such. ue'J features and improvements from tiaLd to timo as aro in accord with journalistic progress and that may tend to the advantage of its readers. It will, Cor cx ample, give increased attention to Stato and local interests. What Indianiacs want is a paper in' which Indiana a flairs aro given especial prominonco aud importance. This want tho Journal has always supplied as no other paper published outsido or inside tho Stato is able to do; but tho rapidly developing industries and business and social enterprises of tho community call for additional consideration and space, "With this ia view its corps of correspondents has been increased until ithas a representative in nearly every town in the State. Special traveling correspondents will visit tho news centers of the Stato at frequent intervals, thin insuring the "writ up" of every important event or matter of general interest. Being published in tho geographical center of Indiana tho Journal is afforded unusual facilities for securing news promptly, and, what is of greater consequence, is ablo to reach its subscribers without delay. Tho ruuningof morn ing trains from Indianapolis is very favorablo to tho early distribution of papers sent by mail or express, and in most towns within a radius of a huadied miles Journal are delivered as early as in the city whoro they aro printed. In tho moro re mo to counties there is but little loss of timo iu transportation. Tho Journal is tho paper for Indianians and particularly for Indiana Kepublicans. Tho change of administration involves the settlement of political problems likely to bo of the most direct personal concern to every farmer and business man in tho State All such matters will bo set forth in detail, the Journal's Washington correspondent being instructed to give especial attention to everything, having a possible bearing on Indiana interests. But though tho Journal is Kopublican in politics it is non-partisan in the publication of news. Its constant endeavor is to secure facts unbiased by prejudice and to xnako its columns trustworthy records of each day's happenings. A large editorial force supplements tho work of tho press associations and the correspondents, and furnishes careful supervision for each department. The Sunday Journal has a well-established literary character, superior to that of any We stern paper. It is not defaced by "plate matter" nor filled with a heterogeneous mass of syndicate literature, but its contributions and miscollany aio chosen with a view to their special fitness and adaptability to the tastes of tho readers. Tho reading matter in any given number of tho Sunday Journal is equal in quantity and is not inferior in quality to that found in tho leading magazines. As an educational adjunct and a sourcoof entertainment the Sunday Journal is indispensable in every well-regulated family. Tho Weekly Journal, at $1 per year, contains more reading xnattertkan can be obtained for tho money in any other shapo. It is carefully edited aud offers tho news of the week in condensed shapo and a variety of miscellany, agricultural and household literature that render it ono of tho best investments that any family can make.
