WITH TRIMMINGS.

A Kentucky Lynching With Many New FeaturesWldte Savages, Take an Awful Keveuge Vpou the Sensel-'w Body of the jxurderer. Seay J. Miller, the negro charged with the outrage and murder of Mary and Ruby Bay, was hanged at Bardwell, Ky., Friday afternoon, and the body burned after being horribly mutilated. The negro made a speech proclaiming his innocence, but it Is said that he afterward made a partial confession. The steamer Three States, with several hundred men from Cairo on board, met the special train from Sikeston at Bird’s Point. The prisoner was put on the boat and taken to Wickliffe at 5 o’clock, Friday morning. There Frank Gordon, the fisherman who ferried the murderer across the river, Wednesday night, identified Miller as the same man. Still Miller pleaded his innocence, and John Bay, the father of the murdered girls? counseled patience. The mob boarded a train at Wickliffe and brought the prisoner to Bardwell, arriving at 11:30 o’clock. There were not less than 5,000 men at the depot, and the train, consisting of eight coaches, was crowded. Previous to this time an agreement was made by the people to allow the father of the children to prescribe the punishment, but when the train arrived It seemed that the mep forgot their promise for the time. They rushed to the train, one over another, and at one time it was thought by a great many that the negro was being torn limb from limb. At last quiet was restored and all went to a very high scaffold constructed of bridge timbers. Sheriff Hutson, the prisoner, and a number of of the guards mounted the stand. John Ray, the father of the murdered girls, made a talk, inwhich he said: “This is the man who killed my children, but let us keep quiet now an# at the proper time burn him.” The negro was called upon to make a talk, and responded promptly and with wonderful nerve considering the circumstances under which he was placed. His voice was clear and he seemed almost oblivious to the surroundings. His exact words were as follows: MynameisSeav J. Miller, and I am from Springfield, 111. My wife lives at 716 N. Second St. lam here among you as a stranger and looked on by you as the most brutal man that ever stood on God’s gfeen earth. 1 am standing here an innocent man among excited men, who do not propose to let the law take its course. I have committed no crime to be deprived of my liberty and life. lam not guilty,”. At 3:27 o’clock the body was swung to a tall telegraph pole directly at the north end of the depot, and as he was drawn up his clothes were torn from his body by the maddened mob. Ho was heard to say just as they drew him up: “I am an innocent man,” but there is a fully authentic report that he made at least a partial confession as the mob took him from the jail. The negro was drawn up with his face to the pole, and when his feet were two or three feet from the ground some one shot him, the ball passing entirely through his body. In a few minutes life was entirely extinct. The body was left hanging until 4:25 o'clock, during which time some of the toes and fingers were cut off. The body was finally carried about 300 yards. At that place the ears were cut off; nearly all the remaining toes and fingers were severed and the body otherwise mutilated. The body was then placed between two logs and kindling piled upon it, and then enough wood to complete the job of burning. The crowd remained orderly to the last, but very determined. The men who did the hanging are from Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri.

STORM SWEPT.

A Side Show at the Fair Wltbortt a Permit. Chicago was visited at 5:30 Sunday afternoon by the most terrific storm it has experienced for several years and the rain fell In torrents. The earlier part of the day was well nigh perfect, cloudless and with a cool, gentle breeze blowing off Lake Michigan. The storm gathered in the north end northwest with marvelous quickness. All at once it was swooping over the city, leveling trees and spreading death and destruction among the many pleasure boats which were out npon Lake Michigan. Owing to the beautiful weather during the morning these boats were more numerous than is usual. Many narrow escapes were experienced, but so far as known the loss of life is limited to four, all of them lost by the capsizing of the sailing yacht Chesapeake, which was overturned about two mile* fromt shore.' The party on the boat consisted of nine people, and of these four were drowned.

At the World’s Fair grounds little damage was done to the buildings, but the passengers who were aloft in the captive bal-. loon had a close call, and the balloon itself after being brought to earth was blown Into pieces and the pieces were carried out of the grounds. With a succession ol cracks the giant silk covering was rent completely in two. The strong cordagt which had covered the silk with a network snapped as though it bad been packthread. One half blew one way and ha<! another. It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to think. An extraordinary ireaK of nature hajust been made public in Valparaiso, It t the shape of a child born without a ii No part of the head was visible exoep" the month and chin, which were of natural size.

entrance to St- James Palace. The decorations along the line of the royal procession were profuse and beautiful. The scene was full of life and movement, and the ceremony eclipsed in pomp and grandeur,any recent state ceremonial in connection with the British court. The royal party left Buck inham Palace in four processions, the first conveying members of the household and distinguished guests. The next included the Duke of York and his supporters, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg. The bride came in the third procession, accompanied by her father, the Duke of Teck, and her brother, Prince Adolphus of Teck. The last procession was that of the Queen, w ho, accompanied by the Duchess of Teck, her younger sons and the Grand Duke of Hesse, drove in state to the ceremonials. Her Majesty

rode in the handsome glass coach used at the o*pening of Parliament and other spe-, cial occasions. < Her Majesty alighted in the. ambassa-, dor’s court under a specially erected can- I opy over the glass doors of the passage ! leading to the chapeL Thence she walked to the north end of the edifice. The spot was beautifully adorned with palms and flowers from the royal conservatory and carpeted with crimson. Upon the same platform seats were provided for the Prince and Princess of Wales, the bride and bridegroom and the other members of the royal family and royal guests from abroad. The members of the diplomatic body, including the membersof the United States embassy and other invited guests, occupied especial seats in the body of the chapel and in the royal and east galleries.

PRINCESS MAY OF TECK.

Drawing room dresses were worn by the ladies, the gentlemen appearing in full lavee dress. The bride wore the veil which was worn by her mother on the occasion of her own marriage. Her wedding gown was of silver brocade, in perfect harmony with the bridesmaids’ toilets of white satin and silver lace. • The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the other clergy, performed the ceremony, the bride being given away -by her father. The magnificent gilt sacramental plate, the central alms dish which is said to have been manufactured in the reign of Charles I, and is valued at fiSO/xn, was displayed upon the altar, which was decked with the choicest flowers. The de juner was served atßnckingham Palace, the Queen proposing the toast of the bride and bridegroom and the lord steward, the toast of “ThcQuepn ” Prince George Frederick Ernst Albert. Duke of York, Earl of Irverness and Baron Killarney, is the only surviving son of the Prince of Wales. He was born at Marlborough House on June 3, 1865, and baptized at Windsor Castle on the 7tb day of July following. He was educated at Sandringham and Marlborough House. When fourtecw*'years old Prince George was entered as a cadet on board H. M. 8, Brittany. At the present moment ho is the junior captain In the navy. Shortly after the death of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence and Avon.dale, who died a few weeks before the time set for his marriage to the bride of to-day, PTince George received from the Queen, his grandmother, the Royal Dukedom of York. His other titles are too numerous to mention. The PrincessfMay is the eldest child and

only daughter of the Duke of Teck and Princess May of Cambridge.’who are both connected with nearly every sovereign in Europe. She was born at Kensington Palaee on the 26th of May, 1867. and the greater part of her life has been spent at White Lodge, Richmond Park, the residence of her parents. It is doubtful If any Princess was ever held in higher esteem than is Princess May. Her modesty and inherent kindliness have made her a general favorite, and her sympathy with the ooor and her active endeavors to improve their condition have made her an idol where royalty is not well received.

HARRISON’S ISLAND NO. 1.

Carter Harrison wants to build an island seven miles out in the lakp, at Chicago. “We could build a new crib there and obtain an abundant supply of water that would be forever free from pollution,” said he. “Such an.island would be a great acquisition to Chicago. It would be a summer resort, a breathing place, a pleasure garden, a picnicking ground. It would have to be established on stakes. I mentioned the matter to Gen. Fitzsimmons. He said that if he had the authority he could organize a syndicate to construct the island.”
