Cairo, 111., Special: On the spot where his gorilla-like hands had fastened about the neck of a white girl until life had departed from her body. Will James paid the penalty for his revolting crime at the hands of 10,000 men and women of Cairo, Illinois. This taste for blood was but-a drop in the bucket to the mob. There were other men in the jail who had committed crimes that stained the fair name of the city. "On to the Jail!" was the cry after James's body bad been reduced to ashes, and thither the mob hastened. The mob, after battering down a steel cell In the county Jail here, took out Henry Salamer, a white man. charged with the murder of his wife last August, and lynched him. Vengeance was on every tongue as James was torn from the grasp of the sheriff, and the cry of vengeance was echoed as the trembling wretch was yanked Into space, dangling from a rope. The hemp rope gave way under the strain of the giant body, and before death relieved the negro of his suffering the strands parted. Fearful that their victim might escape any possible meter of punishment, revolvers and rifles flashed and Into the prostrate body, shot after shot was poured. Still the blood-thirsty mob was not satisfied. Possibly a spark of life still remained, and if so, it must be torn from the mass of quivering flesh. Tearing fencing and signboards from their places, a huge fire was started in the middle of the street, and the body and fagots saturated wllu oil and the torch applied by a woman. Shouts of exulting triumph was her reward, and like maniacs, the gloating men, transformed from peaceable citizens to a rabble which knew no mercy when their homes and daughters were In danger, danced about the pyre In ecstacy. Women took the lead In all the horrible work of the mob. A woman pulled the rope, a womnn touched the match to the fire. Women spurred fathers, brothers and sweethearts to deeds of vengeance like the Amazons of historyThe lynching was the result of the murder of Miss Annie Peltey, a pretty factory girl. Bloodhounds took up the scent from the gag In the girl's mouth and went directly to James's house, and when he was taken to Jail, followed the scent to the door of his cell. Salzner's crime for which he suffered at the hands of the second mob, was a brutal one, according to the evidence. One night last July Salzner's wife was found at her home with her skull fractured and a blood-covered ax was found under the bed. The two babies were playing In the blood. Salzner had been seen by neighbors about the house early In the evening and after the crime was discovered he was found at tho home of hl3 mother, where he often slept at night. All evidence pointed to Salzner as the slayer and Mrs. Salzner recovered enough to accuse her husband.

NOTED FRENCH MURDER CASE COMES TO AN END.

DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT Fair Widow Acquitted of Double Murder Charge and Frenchmen Applaud.

Paris, Cable: Mine. Margherita Steinhell has been acquitted by a jury of the murder of her husband, Adolphe Steinhell, a noted painter, and her stepmother, Mme. Japy. To some degree sentiment and a stuffy, crowded courtroom favored the prisoner, and tho delay caused much apprehension. With the first appearance of the jurymen, however, several of whom were smiling, an instinctive feeling of acquittal Hashed through the courtroom. A dramatic scene followed. The red-robed Judges and counsel filed In and took their places. Every eye was riveted on the door through which the prisoner should enter, but she did not appear. M. de Valles, the presiding judge, turned to the Jury and said: "Have you reached a verdict?" The foreman arose and replied: "On our conscience we answer 'no' to every question." A salvo of "bravos" followed this announcement and a perfect bedlam broke loose. M. Aubln, counsel for Mme. Stelnhell, embraced his colleagues. Men and women In the rear of the hall jumped and screamed for joy. The judge threatened to clear the courtroom, and, when a semblance of order was restored, he called: "Bring in the accused." Fully two minutes passed before tho black-robed figure with a white face drooping on her breast appeared in the doorway, supported on either side by a gendarme. The woman swayed and seemed to be fainting, but In response to a wild outburst of cheers she lifted her head and looked about, smiling faintly In acknowledgmenL Then she tottered forward and sank on the floor beside the rail. When the Judge pronounced the verdict her faint murmur of thanks was hardly heard. An instant later M. Aubln was over the rail, lifting her in his arms. The crowds surged forward in a solid wall, making the rafters ring with cheers. Outside the gloomy court the first of thousands who had been waiting for hours took up the cry. Special editions of the papers spread the news like wildfire through the boulevards, where thousands more were waiting in front of the cafes, and the same scenes of rejoicing were witnessed there. The murder of the distinguished painter, Adolphe Stelnhell, and his mother-in-law on the night of May 31, 190S, caused a sensation In Paris. They were found strangled In the artist's residence in the Rue de Vauglrard, which adjoins the studio of. Seymour Thomas, the American portrait painter. Mme. Stelnhell was found gagged and bound to a bed. Mme. Stelnhell, when she recovered sufficiently from the shock, gave a defcil,rOon of the alleged assassins, who, according to her story, numbered four. Including a red-haired woman. Later Mme. Stelnhell told many conflicting stories, and was herself arrested and charged with the crime. The motive was found In her hatred for her stepmother and a desire to rid herself of her husband that she might marry Maurice Borderel, a wealthy merchant, who had become Infatuated with her. The hearings began Nov. 1, and dramatic scenes have characterized them throughout.

ROBBED BANK; KILLED THREE. Then, Facing Posse, Young Outlaw Blew Off His Head. Eudora, Kan., Special: Facing n posse of Infuriated men In a forest near this city, Earl Bullock, aged 17 years, of Lawrence, Kan., bank robber and triple murderer, calmly placed the muzzle of his revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

IN INDIA EVIDENCED BY DEADLY BOMB

HURLED AT VICEROY. MINT0

Heroism and Promptness of Attendants Ward off Infernal Machines Which Fail to Explode.

Armedabad, British India, Cable: That the spirit of revolt is spreading In India was shown Sunday by an attack made by discontents on the lives of Lord and Lady Minto. The Viceroy and his wife have been here for a week's stay at one of tho viceregal castles and were riding through the city. While driving through a narrowlane in the park two bombs were thrown at their carriage by a young man iu native dress, apparently a student. A dragoon, who was riding alongside of the carriage, spurred forward and struck the first bomb heroically with the back of his saber, hurling It some distance away into a sand heap. The second bomb luckily struck an umbrella which was held by the Viceroy's Jemldar, a native lieutenant, over Lady Minto's head, and the quick action of the jemldar made It rebound to the ground. Neither bomb exploded, the soft sand acting as a buffer. An examination of the infernal machines revealed tho fact that they contained picric acid, and the carriage would have been undoubtedly wrecked and the occupants killed had they been exploded anywhere near the vehicle. The bomb throwers made their escape In the excitement, and though police and detectives are scouring the city and environs no arrests have yet been made. For a year or more there have been many Instances of violence on the part of the Indian Revolutionists, who are bound to end British rule in India. This is the second attempt that has been made on the life of Lord Minto. Attempts have also been made to assassinate Lord Kitchener, Sir Andrew Fraser, the Lieutenant Governor of llengal. and many other ofllcials. -It will be recalled that only a short time ago a fanatic Indian student in London killed General Sir Wylie during a reception in the Indian Office.

FOUR HUNDRED PERISH, VICTIMS OF SUFFOCATION.

AWFULDISASTER AT CHERRY, ILL

Fire Starts Deep in Shaft of Coal Mine and Hundreds Are Cut Off From Freedom.

Spring Valley, 111., Special: Tho most appalling mine disaster hi the history of the United States occurred Saturday afternoon in tho little town of Cherry, seven miles north of this place. An explosion of coal gas ln the upper works of tho St. Paul Mine is believed to have choked out the lives of between 40O and 500 men who were working there. Some few survivors, blackened by smoke and singed by flame, have crawled from reeking crevices in the earth to tell an incoherent story of the almost Inconceivable horrors In the corridors below. The rest are still In the flame-swept works, strangling slowly ln the afterdamp or making their last desperate stand against fire and smoke In the stub-ends of the corridors, to which they lied in terror after the explosion. When the searchers quit their strenuous endeavors Sunday night the imprisoned men in the shaft had been cut oft for a period of nearly 30 hours. Hope departed from even the most optimistic hearts with the passing of daylight, nnd the village of Cherry is crushed und stunned ln the grip of the great tragedy. A quiet, more ominous than the hysteria of Saturday night, when women cried, sang and yelled in the frenzy of varying emotions, has settled upon the town. Everywhere are widows and orphans, with sorrow-set faces and eyes dimmed by long weeping. Ghastly in its welrdness, a vigil was kept all night at the sealed mouth of the shaft by a score of women whoso husbands lay 500 feet below. The cause of the catastrophe Is as follows: The main air shafts both descend to the lower level and a wide gallery runs from one to the other at the 3S0-foot le' A car containing six bales of hay was on this gallery en route to the stables, where the mine mules aro housed, and Alexander Rosenjack, a young American, who works at tho cage at tho main shaft, got too close to the hay and It ignited from his lamp. Immediately the hay flared up and Just as quickly almost every one ln the vicinity was panic stricken. The driver started to run tho car toward the air shaft, with the Intention of dumping the load into the slump, where there is always water, but In some manner he got so confused that the first thing the others knew tho car was being backed toward tho main shaft. Again It wns started toward the air shaft, but all this time at tho top of the air shaft had been pouring down into tho main shaft a terrific stream of fresh air, which fanned the flames into a furnace heat. This snme stream of air, coming down the shaft constantly, keeps the planking of the shaft nnd at tho entrance to the gallery dry as a bone, notwithstanding the fact that It is regularly sprinkled, along with all tho remainder of the mine, in accordance with the state law. By tho time tho hay had been burning for only a few minutes this planking caught fire and then bedlam broke looso.
