Companies A, I, B and II, of the Seventh Illinois infantry, were sent In reply to urgent requests to the state officials. The troops marched to the market house opposite the Jail and camped. Streets were cleared and the threatening attitude of the crowds disappeared. There were sullen greats heard, but the unknown, except the woman and negroes, refused to give their names. FIBST INCIDENT WAS A MOB Organ I sod to Lynch Negro for Assuult on m Woman. The first incident of the outlawry here was the presence of a mob, which had been organized to lynch James Wilson, a negro who was In jail on the charge of raping Mrs. Thomas Burgess, wife of a farmer of Alvan, just north of here. He says he did not rape the woman. The negro Metcalf, said to be a refugee from Evansville, Ind., met his fate while the mob was on the way to lj-nch Wilson. The mob was passing down East Main street when the negro became involved in an altercation -with some of its members. They started after him and he pulled a gun. firing into the crowd. Henry Gatterman, a young butcher, who had recently returned from Fortress Monroe, fell mortally wounded and expired In a few seconds. The negro turned and fled, but was caught by the officers within a block of the scene of the tragedy and hu ried to the police station, with the mob in hot pursuit. The officers with their prisoner took refuge in the city building, barricading themselves behind the door of one of the offices. They could not check the mob, however, for It secured a long pole and tried to batter cown a. section of !!k wall and the Ccov. On account of the ove. whelming cumbeis cf the mob it -was useless for the otficers to resist. The negro watt seized and rushed to the spot where he had shot Gatter man. It was the work of an instant to throw a rope around his neck and swing him up to the nearest telephone pol?. The mo'i did not delay long, but waited to s?? trat its victim was dead. Ilk life was slowly strangled - out. i.V AVAUKUY S.IIOWH Jfero lUxij Cut Down end Burned CItl!ia:lon t p to Date. The mob taeu started for the Jail, but iniiiHüi: t?ly changed its mind and cut down iittcalf tody, dragged it to the pul Pc srji:a e rnd burned it In a bonfire. Vhi!e the niubs vfetiin was "burning scvt4.il n.er. tired bullets into the lu'.Kf-s. Several knives were drawn villi which they hacked the burning ccii re. 'Ike ears were chopped off and hv f( t. wh!ch protruded from the flames. were Lacked to pieces-When the mob had done everything its fury could suggest it returned again to the Jail. A fence rail was procured as a bat tering ram and the mob charged the jail door. .Inside guarding the prison ers were Sheriff It. D. Vvhitloek, sev eral deputies, and a negro turnkey. All were armed. Sheriff Whitlock chouted to the mob to stand baci, c? he and his men would fire. The warn ing was unheeded, and as the mob was almost upon the jail door a volley rang -cut from the Inside. Several of the zacb fell wounded and dyln. A worn -an mwmted a large store box la the xsidila of the public square and shoct cd: "KU1 thi steril.

at .TVcstfceld. 111., to b.lng over dynamite to blew up the jail. In the mob were many women. "While waiting tor the miners who were expected to bring the dynamite from Westville the mob marched up and down in front ofjfce Jail, stoning it and firing shots at random. Then it ' was learned that one man e route with dynamite had been stopped by loyal dtlzens between Westville and Danvilk, and his dynamite confiscated. Another man escaped. : Sheriff Whitlock went to the outside of the jail and pleaded with the mob to disperse. He begged it to spare the fair name of Danville, and declared that the negro had denied criminal assavlt. Ills address was Interrupted by shouts from the ' mob, members of which loudly declared their determination to have the negro's life sooner or

later.- When the sheriff and his depu ties fired into the mob thel.- bullets were aimed at the ring-leaders, about 200 of whom were in the Jail yard with the fence rail, preparing for the nttack on the door. The mob remained around the Jail until 2:13 a. mvwhen it began to disperse and the authorities got time to prepare for further trouble. This did not come, and the appeals for troops finally having reached the state execu tive officers the city was saved further exhibition of the biute ferocity of the mob. ' : . . SBKBirr DID ALL TOB SUOOTIXO No One Elsa Shot at , the Mob Boyeott oa the Soldiers. Sheriff Wjiltlock said In giving his version of the shooting Into the mob: After I saw from the Jail that the mob was determined to attack I went to the veranda and attempted to talk to the maddened men. As I stepped into view of the c owd two bullets were fired, one striking the wall back of me. I fired two shots Into the air. Some one shouted that I wnsonly bluffing and was shooting blank cartridges. I warned the mob I would resist an at tack on the jail with powder and lend. There Was another shot from the mob, and It surged forward. I then fired a shot from my shotgun Into their legs. This drove them back, but they re turned a moment later to the attack of the fiont floor. I was alarmed for the safety of my wife and children. My wife took a gun and said she would stand by me. I got her and the children out of the way, and then as the leaders came with the rail to bat ter down the walls I shot down the rail to make them drop it. This ac counts for so many being shot in the hands and arms. I fired eight or ten shots in all." Sheriff Whitlock had four deputies and three constables with him in the jail guarding the prisoners. He says none fired Into the mob but himself. The feeling against the soldiers Is no ticeable. The commissary department has much trouble, getting restaurants to serve meals. Many refused to feed the soldiers. There was one clash between a guard and a miner named Ed. Liggett, who began abusing the guard. The soldier leveled his bayonet and IJgget was arrested and fined $100. Crowds gathered during the day near the lines and cursed the soldiers. They were scattered by bayonets In several instances. In their sermons ministers of the city upheld the action of Sheriff Whitlock In defending his prisoners.

T IV 0 DISCORDS NOTED

In the General Harmony Connected with the Funeral of Pope Leo XIII. OABDIN AL'S PLAINT OF DISORDER Daring the Ceremonies at the Consignment to the Sarcopbagns The Incident at Santiago, Chile. Rome, July 27. At the' sixth meeting of the congregation of cardinals, forty-five caidinals were present. Car dlnal Delia Volpe, voicing also the opinions of some of his colleagues, criticised the ceremonies in connectionwith the Interment of Leo XIII because" the cardinals did not participate in the entire procession, and complained generally of the lack of order. Cardinal Oreglia replied that he had alread;- noticed this, and that he would punish those who were responsible. Mor.slgnor Merry del YaF communicated to the cardinals the report from Santiago, Chill, of the incident which occurred there during the celebration of the requiem for the late pope, which was attended by the president of the republic and all the authorities. Frst Discordant Mote. According to the report Monslgnor Uguaite, in delivering the eulogy upon the late pont'.ff, protested against the usurpation of papal territory by Italy,' whereupon Count. Cucchi IJoasso. left the church and lowered the Italian flag which had been hoisted at the legation as a sign of mourning. - Conclare Likely To De Short. The ceremonial of the conclave established by Gregord XV, is to be followed at the coming meeting. The cardinals decided during the conclave to eat In common, In order to facilitate their work. A local paper quotes the response of Cardinal Svampa to a question as to whether he believed the conclave would be of lengthy duration, as follows: "On the.contraiy, I think it will be very short. I believe that two days will suffice to reach an agreement.' Italy and the Tatlcan. Another paper quotes Monrignor Francisca Nava as to the possibility of tae election, of a pope who would reconcile the Vatican and the Quirinal thus: "No pope eve; noted Italy. The government must reconcile Itself to the pope. Certainly Italy, on the occasion of the death of Leo, showed herself well disposed for a reconciliation.' Cardinal Gibbons has arrived, but did not attend the meeting of the congelation. DEPOSITED IN TUE 8ABCOPUAUUS Ceremonies Attending- the Consignment of the Pope's Body to Its Tomb. Rome, July 27. The body of Pope Leo has been interred in St. Teter's. The strokes t)f the hammer which resounded through the dome of thecathedral announced to the earnest gathering In the nave that Leo XIII had been laid to rest. At sundown the most important and most solemn of all the obsequies took place. About 1,000 persons had received invitations to attend the ceremonies. A solemn proh fAlA I J fct VV?-rn r I III 1 J THS VATICA5. cession of cardinals, monks and papal officials esco.ted tbe remains to the chapel, the music outside the chapel being the "Miserere" and that inside "In Paradisum." Arrived in the chapel the body was placed In the center. Thirty cardinals were present in the chapel. The body was sprinkled with holy water, absolution was given, and the foot of Leo XIII was kissed for the last time by Major Domo Caglano, master of the chamber; Iisleti,,and Count Camillo Peccl. The major domo then covered the venerable features and hands' with a white silk veil bordered with gold. . Over this the prefect of ceremonies spread a large red silk veil, which covered the whole person. Monslguor Bartollni read for twenty minutes the orato brevis, eulogizing the dead pontiff, and Notary Poponi, 84 yea: 8 old, read out the burial record, a service which he performed upon the occasion of the deaths of Pope Gregory XVI and Pope Pius IX. The body was then laid in a cypress coffin lined with red satin with an inlaid cross on the cover. Two silk purses containing silver coins and a bronze medal struck du.ing Leo's pontificate, and a eulogy in Latin contained in a metal tube were placed In the cofiin. Then a final prayer was said. The cofiin was then laid inside a lead case, the lid of which was soldered in its place, and this again inclosed in a third coffin of 'walnut, plain. On the lid of the lead coffin was a crossr skull and cross-bones, arms of the late pope with triple crown, but so keys they signifying living victory, and a plate bearing this Inscription: "Corpus Leoni P. M.Vixit. An XCIIIM, IV D. XVIII Eccles TJnlvers Prefnlt An XXV Monsls' 5. Obiit Die XX Julil, an MCMIII." Then the body, was rolled out of the chapel, a procession following to the sarcophagus, and hoisted with pulliea into the sarcophagus.

their various residences. In well mforn.ed circles Cardinal Angelo di.Pietro, p.o-datary of the late pope, Is being talked of as a compromise candidate In the event that Cardinals OrcgU, Gotti. Iiampolla or Serafino Vannutelll Is unble to secure the necessary votes. Should Dl Pietro be elected pope "he would. It is said, be the representative of the Iamrolla-Gottl faction, and yet would, be fairly acceptable to all. Arrival of the Irish Cardinal. Cardinal Michael Logue, archbishop cf. Armagh, ho with the exception of Cardinal Gibbons will be the only English-speaking ca: dlnal tn the conclave, has arrived from Ireland. He said he believed that the successor to Leo would be quickly chosen. In his case perhaps the hope Is father to the thought, as he said he did not look forward with a great degree of pleasure to being shut up in the Vatican during the present hot weather. Each of the cardinals dur'ng the conclave will have a suite of apartment comprising foru rooms, made up of three bed rooms one for the cardinal, one for his conclavist, and the. tbfhi for his servant. The fourth room will be used as a salon or dining room, according to class. Several of the cardinals proposed at the meeting of the congregation, in View o ft he extreme heat to celebrate mass during the conclave In the Pauline chapel early enough every morning to complete the morning balloting in the Sistine chapel by 11. o'clock, and this was agreed to. It is now practically certain that all the cardinals will be present at the conClave except Cardinal Moran, arshbishop of Sydney, who will not reach Home in time, and'., Cardinal Celesia, archbishop of Talermo, who is too 111 to attend. A proclamation has been posted in the streets of Borne inviting citizens to the annual commemoration of the death of King Humbert, which will take the form of a procession through the streets to the Pantheon. Early tomorrow morning under the auspices of patriotic and other societies the Italians will visit the tomb of Humbert it the Pantheon and decorate It with flowers. Commemorative exereises at the capital will follow. For tihs event King Victor Emmanuel will return to Borne tomorrow. The ecclesiastics view the approaching ceremony with some alarm. No Chance for Cardinal Gibbon.

Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, the Irish cai dlnal, paid, him a glowing tribute, though, like all the prelates he e, he held out no hope that the United States ' cardinal had the remot est chance of election. "Indeed," said Cardinal Logue, "I think Cardinal Gibbors would be a subject for commis eration if the selection should de volve upon him, for no American would care to speed the rest of his life confined within the precincts of the Vatican." Proposed Note to the Powers The Irish cardinal expiessed the opinion that the questipn of sending a note to the powers protesting against the treatment of the Vatican by the Italian government should be left to the next pope.

UniOriVERSIJSMILLER

Case That May Cause a Walkout of Men from the Government Print Shop. BOOKBINDERS ISSUE A STATEMENT Miller Charged with Abusive and Scurrilous Language Denies Asking His Discbarge. ' Washington, July 23. President Barrett, of the local organization of bookbinders, has announced that every bookbinder in the government printing office and the members of the allied unions will quit work if W. A. Miller, assistant foreman in the government printing office, whose dismissal from that office the president recently revoked, is permitted to resume work. Local union officials have sent a communication to Secretary Cortelyou, of the department of commerce and labor, strongly expressing their position against Miller's reinstatement. The union also gave out a statement reciting the developments in the case. Refused to Explain to the Union. The statement says that the trouble originated In a charge against Miller; that the charge was considered by a committee empowered to adjust differences; that Mille. not only refused to make an explanation to a member of the committee deputized to call on him, but spoke in an insulting manner. "Our organization," the statement recites, "does not or cannot dictate the policy of conducting affairs of the bindery In the government printing office. The rules are the same as control all the union shops In the United States. Charged with Abasing Employes. "That Mr. Miller had cheapened any class of wo.k for the government and that that was the cause of his suspension and expulsion Is nottrue. Miller's methods were the most unbusinesslike of anj foreman's In the office, and his tactics in punishing men under him were contemptible. In office and public places be made use of scurrilous and abusive epithets alout employes, causing, a distrust in his division as to permanence of .employ? ment.' Sought In Intinenre Legislation. He also is charged by the union with having sought to influence legislation derogatory to the Interests of the society, and with having furnished "a certain membe of congress with price schedules of bookblnderies in other cities, with a view to showing that the bookbinders in the government printing offices were not doing sufficient work, and with having given to this representative an official copy of his former trial," which the union alleges was a "sur eptitious" act, the copy being the property of the society. There was a cry in the streets. People rushed from their doors and strained their eyes on the struggling balloonist fighting for life. Even the poor, panting sufferer in the sick room was forsrotten while the fam ily gazed breathless at this strange tragedy of the air. Then they went back to the sick room to tell of the terrible struggle for life they had just witnessed. It did not occur to them that under their very eyes a more terrible, more pathetic struggle was going on daily. There can be nothing more pitiful than the struggle the consumptive makes against disease. The greatest help in this struggle is gained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and other ailments which if neglected or unskillfully treated find a fatal termination ia consumption.
