HJooralngton, Ind., Oct. 8. Alfred Stephens, proprietor of a street lunch wagon, -was shot and killed here, by Edward Jones, a negro. The negro demanded a sandwich without paying for It, and upon being refused shot Stephens. After the shooting a large crowd of excited ,pfxle quickly gathered and it was with much difficulty that the negro was safely landed In jail. No sooner had he been put behind tl'9 bars, when another mob formed around the jail with the intention of taking the negro out and lynching him. The mob was stood off by a 6 how of force, and the negro was taken quietly from the jail and started on the way to Indianapolis.

Hut it was again In evidence later, and it was only by the determined efforts of the sheriff and his deputies that the excited men surrounding the jail were kept from battering the doors Mlown and entering the place. About X n. hi., the crowd which disported with much reluctance earlier in the night returned greatly augmented and again made a determined effort to enter the jail after the negro. George V. Ilenly, president of the Henley Stone company, attempted to quiet the crowd, speaking to them from the jail tdeps. lie assured them that the negro Jones was not within, but had been removed. Committees Examine the Jail, Henley's efforts had no effect upon the mob. Finally a committee of three was selected and made a thorough search of the jail and reported to the crowd outsldethat Jones was not within. The report of this committee failed to satisfy the demands of the crowd outside, and it was only after Another committee made the rounds of the jail and again reported its search was without avail, the mob quieted, and It was- only when daylight came that it sullenly departed.

JIov He Was Got Out of Town. When it first became evident to the officials that trouble was imminent Sheriff Sough, accompanied, by two deputies, hurried the negro Jones from a

Biae entrance or the Jail ami walked him a mile to the southeast of the city, where a. buggy was secured to drive to Hertford. Jones was put on a train and taken to Indianapolis later.

ADMITS A LAW VIOLATION

Slakes a Lower Hate for a Ijonger Than a Shorter Haul to Meet ' River Competition, Indianapolis, Oct. 8. In filing its answer with the state railroad commission denying charges of discrimination r.gainst it the National Oil company's suit the Louisville and Nashville Hailroad company admits a practice which Is said in itself to be a flagrant and open violation of the same law. This company was one of a large number of Indiana railroad companies which were made respondents in a suit of several smaller oil companies which dc dared that the railroads were making rates for the Standard OH company, end was therefore guilty of discrimination. The answer filed denies the charges of discrimination, but admits making n lower rate from Evansville. Ind., to Mount Vernon than it doe to intermediate points. The Louisville and Nnshvilleexplalns this by the fact that Mount Veruon is located on the Ohio river, and the active competition of boats on the Ohio river renders the exception reasonable and necessary.

Franklin bell. Progress of Disarmament. The disarming of the Insurgent bands Is proceeding with dispatch, being delayed in some places by squabbles over the question of whether the volunteers' 'should not also disarm, some rebel bands refusing to disarm unless the same action is required of the volunteers. It may require the 'persuasion" of some United States soldiers in some cases to enforce the disarmament, but there is no doubt that it will be accomplished in a reasonable time. Our Control To Be Enlarged. The preliminaries of an organization to be called the Good Governmeut League of Cuba has been begun at a

meeting of citizens of the United.

States, Cubans and others, at which

resolutions were passed to the effect

that the purpose of the association

should be "the promoting by all legi

timate means the establishment and

maintenance of n permanent, stable

and lawful government, competent to

administer Justice, insure domestic

tranquility, promote the general wet

fare and Insure the blessings of liberty to nil the inhabitants of the isl

and." It was declared that the League Intended to adopt whatever means to

this end were deemed wisest bv a ma

jority of the membership, which is intended to be representative of all nationalities and all sections. While there was no expression to that effect the movement generally Is regarded as pointing eventually toward some more definite degree of United States control or oversight in Cuban affairs than is vouchsafed by the Piatt amendment.
