ISHED BY A MOB.

OHIO PEOPLEAVENGE A BRUTAL MURDER. Most Atrocious Crime at New Richmond Punished Without the Law's Delay —Fate of the Culprit Amply Deserved. New Richmond, 0., Aug. 22.—At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon a mob took Noah Anderson, colored, from the jail here, and hanged him for the murder of Franklin Fridman, nearly 80 yenre n]d, and president of the First National Bank of this place. Mr. Fridman was among the wealthiest men in Clermont county. He owned a number of farms and lived at Clermontville, about two miles from New Richmond. He was driving into New Richmond shortly after noon yesterday, when he stopped at one of his houses. Hitching his horse at the dooryard, he went into an adjoining field, where he was suddenly attacked by Noah Anderson, a muscular negro, who had no weapon but his hands. With these he quickly bore the aged banker to the earth, and then, clutching his throat with the power of a demon, he literally choked his helpless victim to death. When satisfied that the man was dead, Anderson tied. Soon the prostrate man was borne to the house, and found to be past, all help. He was already dead. Fridman came from Germany and was a boilermaker. In 1840 he removed to Clermontville, Clermont county, 0., where he had ever since been- engaged in mercantile, manufacturing and banking pursuits, and had been until the time of his death president of the Fridman Lumber Company, president of the First National Bank and president of the Shain-Roberts Furniture Company, all of New Richmond, O. He leaves eleven children living. He is estimated to be worth about $1,000,000. Anderson came to New Richmond on a shanty-boat some months ago. 11-’ claimed to be a paperhanger by occupation.

BIG BUILDING FALLS.

Lucky Kscape from Death in a Chicago Amusement Resort. Chicago, 111., Aug. 22.- At 11:15 o’clock last night the Coliseum, the gigantic amusement building of Chicago, fell with a crash. It was within a week of its final completion. Bui an hour before 400 workmen were hurrying on the building. It was too early for the large morning shift that began at 2 o’clock, and fortunately no one was injured. The loss, it is believed, will reach $125,000. The cause 'of the accident could only be conjectured last night. The-. Coliseum was designed in Italian Renaissance style. It was to be 770 feet in length by 300 feet wide. This groat area of 240,000 square feet, or nearly five and one-half acres, was.to be inclosed and covered with a great root. The seating capacity was calculated at 40,000. The building was to have been opened Sept. 2.

Michigan Train Robbers Still Free.

Fennville, Mich.. Aug. 22.—Despite the efforts of the express company detectives and the local police Allegan county’s train robbers are still at large and probably far away from the scene of the hold-up.

WE WILL TAKE A HAND.

American Consul instructed to Invest! Turkish (Tutrages. Constantinople, Aug. 22. —The United States consul at Beyreut, Thomas R. Gibson, has been instructed to proceed to Tarsus in order to open an inquiry into the attack recently made upon the American college there. It is stated the sultan lias decided to issue a decree Aug. 31 announcing general reforms throughout the empire. The tendency of this reply to the powers, however, is more retrograde than progressive, as, for instance, Christians are not admitted to be eligible to hold the post of Vali, in spite of the fact that Christian valis have existed for years past.

Millions for a Half-Breed.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22.—Attorney Grant I. Rosenzweig returned yesterday from Kaskaskia, 111., where he has taken thirty depositions in support of the claim of Antoine Gilles that he is the only begotten son of the late William Gilles, and the son-heir to the $2,000,000 estate left by him.

Aug. 22. — Owing to the failure of the blueberry crop, which usually furnishes them a living, the Wisconsin Winnebago Indians are threatened with starvation this winter. The Indians are hard up. and have already contracted obligations with the merchants, which will exhaust their annuity to he paid them on Nov. 1.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY, AUG. 22, 1895.

MUST FREE WALLER.

UNITED STATES WILL MAKE AN IMPERATIVE DEMAND. The Detention in a French Prison of Our Ex-Consul to Madagascar Will No Longer lie Permitted —Claims Made That His Health 'lt, .a^v.ed. Washington, Aug 22 —There is good authority for the statement that a peremptory demand will be made by the United States for the release of ex-Con-sul John Waller of Tamatave, and that satisfactory indemnity will be required for his arrest and imprisonment, with a probable request for a commission to determine Waller’s rights in Madagascar. The discussion of the ease between the French and American diplomats has reached a point where it irsaid there is little else for the Unit d States to dc, owing to the fact that v peated requests for a copy of * charges and testimony upon -,vl ' Waller was convicted have not complied with by the French gov ment. The dilatory action of F: in this matter is regarded as indie , that the French government has a j • case and will be unable to resist tin mands made by the United States f the restoration of Waller to liberty aml indemnity for his losses. A condi'.i which makes the delay of France more aggravating is the fact that the department is aware of the serious ilhv .; of Waller in prison and that his furtuer confinement is harmful to his health. International questions generally move slowly, but the delay in producing papers and testimony in the case of Waller has been of an exasperating kind, and has resulted in sharp pressure by United- States officials to bring about a settlement, the belief being that a great deal of the delay has been largely unnecessary. Some of the reports which have been received at the department indicate that the treatment of Waller has been unjust and his arrest and trial a breach of international comity. Enough is known regarding the negotiations to justify the statement that the department is confident it will result in the release of Mr. Waller, with Indemnity for his imprisonment and the restoration of his property rights. There is also authority for the statement that the department feels assured Waler’s bare release could have been secured before now, but it was felt that this would be accomplished at the risk of losing indemnity for imprisonment and protection of Mr. Waller in his property rights in Madagascar. As the money interests involved are placed by no one In the department at less than $1,000,000, the case has been hand!.--1 on the theory that it was better that Mr. Waller should continue to . endure his incarceration for a few months than risk losing his claim.

EX-GOV. CAMPBELL.

with a great whirl of enthusiasm and the chair declared Mr. Campbell the nominee for governor. The full ticket is as follows: Governor, James E. Campbell; lientenant-governor, John B. Peaslee; state auditor, James W. Knott: state treasurer, William B. Sholer; Supreme judge, William T. Mooney; at-torney-general, George A. Fairbanks; board of public works, Harry B.

Brice was introduced as the presiding officer of the convention. He commended Cleveland’s policy and urged democrats to continue their fight along the lines mapped out at the white house. The majority report of the committee on resolutions was adopted, 19 to 2. Both President Cleveland and Senator Brice are indorsed. The money plank is as follows: “We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeabe value, or be adjusted by international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the payment of debts, and we demand that the paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating currency.” This is the plank adopted in the platform of the last democratic national convention. Gen. Findlay of Crawford county introduced the following, which was passed: “We view with alarm the invasion of one of the republics of this country by Great Britain, on the plea of collection of debt, and indorse the Monroe doctrine.” With a series of resolutions of thanks the convention at 2:40 adjourned, the nominations having all been made in about half an hour.

MARKETS ARE WEAK.

BOTH WHEAT AND CORN SUFFER A DECLINE. The Former Declines 1 l-2c and the Latter 1 l-8c —No Export Inquiry for Winter Wheat —Heavy Movement of Corn Continues —Wall Street Prices.

Chicago, Aug. 21.—After a rally at the opening to 64c, the price for September wheat dropped to 62%c the first hour. The December was at 66%c and off to 65c. The cables were a little lower for Liverpool, Berlin wheat was 1 34@% marks lower. The export clearances promised very light. From the first prices quoted the market made %c or more recovery at 11 o’clock. The September got reaction to G3%c, the December to 65%c bid. This was the result of December buying orders placed at 65c and some covering for September by local people. The rally was followed by an hour of dullness. Then the selling pressure returned and prices went back to the low' point again about midday. Local receipts were only 43 cars, and of these but 11 car- were No. 2. Last year this market had 176 cars contract wheat. Northwest receipts were 218 cars, compared with 293 last year. This in the face of the fact that the crop is enormous, the price 10c to 15c higher, the season earlier. The primary receipts were 467.000 bu, about half the movement of same day last year. Baltimore private message gave shipments from that port over 100,000 bu and reported German bids. The grading of winter wheat at all markets indicates a large percentage of the short crop not merchantable. Wheat made no recovery of importance from the low point. September sold 62%c and closed 62%c. December sold 64%c and closed 65%c. There was no export demand reported here or at seaboard. Vessel room was engaged for 92,000 bu at 2c rate to Buffalo. There was further decline in corn for the session. September started steady at 37%c, dropped to 37%c the first hour and sold down to 36y 2 @36%c later. May corn sold 32%c and 32%c. The cars to-day were 442 and the estimate for to-morrow heavier at 600 cars. Shipments yesterday were 200,000 bu, but this was less than half the receipts. The cash premium was off to %c and there was not that demand of last ■week for corn to arrive. Exports were 146,000 bu, mostly from New York. Corn closed with a little recovery at 36%c September and 32%@32%c May. Vessel room was taken for 685,000 bu corn at l%c Buffalo rate. Provisions were a slow market all day. Pork started steady, but dropped back 25c for September, to $7.70, 15c for January to $lO.lO. Near the close the September price was 10c under last night at S9.So. Lard lost sc*selling $6.10 both months. Ribs sold off to $6.10 and Armour bought 1,000.000, and the price held later at $6.12%. Last prices were 10@15c low’er pork. 5@7%e lower lard and ribs.
