Upon the arrival at Galveston, Texas, of the Mallory steamship Comal, from New York, Wednesday, the master of the vessel, Captain John Risk, reported that a coal-handler, John H. Graham, of New York, had died of overheat and crampff, and was buried at sea. This was the substance of Captain Risk's report at the naval offlse, as required by the United States- statute in such cases. Nothing more' was thought of the matter during the day, and no suspicion of foul play existed at the custom house. It was therefore a matter of very great surprise when lat er one of the coal handlers, named Riley, who made the trip with Graham, visited the office of the United States Commissioner and made affidavit cliarging Wm. H. McCullough, chief engineer of the Comal, with the wilful murder of Graham.

Rfleys story, for savage and devilish inhumanity, surpasses belief. In substance he swears that be was working in the same watch with Graham. When they were four days out from New York, Graham while in the fire-room at work, complained to him (Rxley) and others of being sick and unable longer to hold up his end. Shortly af ter this, Chief Engineer McCullough foimd Graham lying down, apparently sleeping, whereupon the engineer remarked, "I'll, wake you up." Suiting the action to the word, he deliberately too a large shovel, and scooping it full of red-hot coals from the furnace, he poured them over the prostrate form of the sick man, and followed up the work by beating and abusing Graham as he lay writhing under the burning coals. Riley further swears that within fifteen minutes after Engineer McCullough assaulted Graham the latter was a corpse, and was immediately removed tojthe engineer's room and laid upon a grating. Perhaps the most extraordinary statement mads by Riley is that the body of the deadf man was kept on ice until the steamship was within twelve hours' run of Galveston, and then buried at sea. The commissioner immediately issued a warrant, charging McCullough with murder on the high saa, and he was arrested while aboard the vessel by a deputy Vnited States marshal and com mitted to jail. Five witnesses were also arrested to await the sitting of the federal grand jury. Engineer McCullough is about forty-three years old and is a resident of New York City.

Report of tbe Comptroller of "the Trenury.

The First Comptroller of the Treasury

has made to the (Secretary of the Treas

ury a report of the work of his bureau tor the fiscal year ended June 30 last, in

which he recommends that Congress

legislate especially on the assignment of

claims against the United States; that

United States Di&tric t Attorneys, Mar

shals and Clerks be paid salaries, and

that fees shall be abolished; that a maxi-

l inum 1 be fixed to the amount of com

pensation 01 umtea ecates commission

ers, and that etch Commissioner be

required, in issuing warrants for the

arrest of persons charged with any of

fense to make such warrants returnable

either before himself or some other Commissioner, so that a return may be

made before the Commissioner located

nearest to the residence of tUe party

arrested, thus saving large amounts to

the government and preventing injustice being done to the accused, and perhaps

innocent persons, by taking them long

distances from their homes. He also urges the passage or a Jaw limiting the

time within which claims against the

United States may be presented, reserv

ing the rights of persons laboring under some legal disability. The-Comptroller reports that most ot the old back work has been disposed of, and that the current business of the bureau is well in hand.

INDIANA LYNCH LAW. Amw Grsen, Mig 31 abbitt's Murderer, Taken from Jail and H&ngstl. A Mob of 300 Mnikiid Man AsiHfcttUfl tbo Delphi Jail and Breaks tike took WitU Olttsel ana Sldge Green Taken Seten iiles in tike Country and Snruns front a Xitmb. About midnight, Friday night, a mob consisting oi nearly two hundred men made an assault on the Carroll county jail, for th purpose Of securing Amer Green, who was confined there awaiting trial for the murder of Luella Mabbitt. Green was broucht to Delphi,

Wednesday, from Michigan City penitentiary, where he had been placod fo. security against such an attack. There

had been Untie fear of a mob from the

fact that those who would be most

likely to undertake a lynching, lived

in tne extreme itastern nart or tne

county and in Cass county j adjoining,

and their preparations were not known in Delphi. As a consequence, the sher

iff took no extra nrecautions to sraard

his prisoner, and when the assault was

made he had no one to assist him but

one deputy.

The mob first formed a line in the

street surrounding the jail to guard

against any interference from the outside. Then, without any demand upon

the sheriff, they hammered in the

wooden door leading into the residence

part of the jail. About twenty men,

with handkerchiefs over their ilaces and

piBtols in their hands, rushed m and de

manded the keys to the jail proper. This was refused, and a man with sledge

hammer and cold chisel began on the

locks. Four locks were broken and the doors forced. The optningof the last

door, by an automatic arrangement,

opened the lock of the cell in which

Green was conlned, so that when they reached the cell they had only to swing open the door. The prisoner, who had, up to the time he heard the mob appreaching, maintained the coolest demeanor now began to cry and to beg. His cries wear piteous. In his desperation he wrenehed oft a piece of waterpipe with which to defend himaelf, but four men made a dash and clutched his arms and throat so quickly that he was unable to do them any injury. He was then bound and hustled off into a covered wagon standing ready. The mob, which had, by this time,gain ed a large number of recruits, then started south across Deer creek. The wagon was driven so fast that those on foot could hardly keep up with it. After crossing the bridge south of town, about seventy-five wagons, which were in waiting tbre, fell into procession, and all started for Walnut Grove, about seven miles east, and not far from where the murdered girl lived. When the wagon with its victim arrived at Walnut Grove, two large fires had already been built, and iiluminated the woods. There the leader of the mob told Green he must either produce Luella Mabbitt or die. He called for Mr, Mabbitt, and, standing fitce to face with him, stated that Lueila was living with a man named Samuel Paine, at Fori Worth, Tex. He was asked why he had not produced her, and said his attorneys had advised him to the contrary. Convinced that he was lying, a rope was stretched around his neck by the mob and he was drawn under the tree. Green stood up on the seat as erect as a statue, his hands pinioned and the rope so tightly drawn that he was almost choked. The crowd was as orderly as a sheriff's posse could have been had Amer Green been going to his death in accordance with the mandates of the law. The wagon was about to be driven ahead, when a correspondent, who had been a mute spectator, asked the doomed man: "Are you an innocent man?" 'I am an innocent man" "What is your last request?" continued the newspaper man. "That you inform my mother, send her my body and tell her I desire to be buried by the side of my sister in Ohio;" "At Hebron, Ohio?'' "Yes" but laere the horses gave a lurch forward, and Amer Green was suspended between earth and sky. His body was cut down at o'clock Saturday morning, after it had been viewed by thousands. When the sheriff found that the mob was on him, his first move was to secure Wm. Walker, who was in jail awaiting trial as an accomplice of Green's. He was in the women's department, and was easily and quickly put into lihe cupola of the building, but the mo o made

no demand for him. The whole affair was well plann ed

and executed. One man. who used the

sledge hammer, was familiar with every detail of the locks and cells. Members

of the mob had been in town ali day,

but their purpose was not suspected

until they were at work at nighfc.

Green's crime was committed, in Aug

ust, 1886, when he abducted and is sup

posed to have murdered Luella Mabbitt,

a daughter of a wealthv farmer in the

eastern part of Carroll coun ty. He fled to the West, where he joined his brother,

Bill Green, who was also a murderer and a fugitive from justice, and both

were captured in Texas last July. The particulars of the crime have been pub

lished very extensively.

Prior to the Mabbitt sensation Amer

Green had the reputation ol being a shameless libertine. Ho had blighted the life ot a young ffir! and taken' refuge in cowardly flight. His victim afterward

died, and the child never received any

assistance from its father. Ho had alsc taken another young girl from thi! neighborhodd and kept her imprisoned from her parents for weeks before he allowed her to return home, ruined. But the latest and most infamous disclosure concerning his character is a record written by his own hand. But for this no one would have been able to forin even a fair conception of his infamy. It is a diary found in his trunk at Young America some time ago, which is now in nossession of a man at thai place. In this diary he had kept a careful record of his licentious conquests. It covers a period of fifteen years, and

shows, according to his own computa

tion, that he has accomplished or aided in the ruin of sixty-three girls and married woman; In this time he had lived in several Spates. Carefully he noted the names of his Victims, the circumstances attending hie conquests, and other incidents intended to recall to his polluted mind the days when he. nas permitted to ream at will and blacken

and poison all he touched. A reporter has talked with three men who have

seen this list. It contains a large number of girls and women in the vicinity of Young America and Burlington. Some are from Wat seka, 111. Many of them are . now, and propably were at the time of their association with Green, recognized as loose characters, but many of them are women who never before have been suspected. Years ago a new church was built near Green's home, and pine shingles hauled fiom Logansport to roof it. At the same time Amer was building a new; stable.The next morning Amei was shingling his stable and shingles at the church were missing. The wagon, tracks told! the story, but the church people were afraid to move on him.lest he burn their building and otherwise injure the members of the church. Several years ago he was arrested for stealing two valuable lap-robes from a sleigh at the church, an officer searching Green's house and finding them both in the garret. When the case came to trial he producedj witnesses who swore that they were with him when he found the robes in a fence corner. While riding home from a dance with a companion he said he would relish a glass of milk. He rode up to a farm house and aroused the farmer, who asked what was wanted. "I want a glass of milk," said Green. The farmer protested, and was on the point of retiring when the fellow said: "I'm Amer Green, and, by- , if you dor't get up and serve me with milk I'll remember you." The farmer served him with milk He had a number of horses on his place and always had a surplus of bar ness, yet no harness -maker in that section of the country ever made him a, set of harness. He stole a kit of carpenter's tools from a man in Logansport and they were found in his possession. He brought witnesses who swore they were with him when he bought them in Kokomo. The night he murdered Luella Mabbitt the buggy in his possession belonged to one man, the horse to another and the harness to a third. With all his villainy and scoundrelism he could pose as a polished gentleman, and his influence over women was most remarkable. About four years ago Green made the acquaintance of Luella Mabbitt. After that they were in each

other's company frequently and were soon engaged to be married. Time and

again they quarreled ana mane up

again. At length Green was arrested

for chicken-stealing and put in jail at

Logansport, and Luella broke the engagement. Time and again he attempted to

renew it and failed. The afternoon of

the night he went awav with her he an

nounced to an acquaintance that he,would either renew the engagement or kill her. That night he called at her house, and

called her. from her bed. Her sister and

William Walker left them alone and

strolled up the road. When they returned Green and Luella had gone, and the girl was never seen alive again. The

finding of her bloody clothing, trreen's flight, and the discovery and identifica

tion of the bodj in the river at Lafayette told the story of her cruel murder- The

wonder is that years ago Green did not

fall before the anger of the scores ot

people he had outraged.

A STATUE OF IiltfOOIiN. Mlt Bate'a Maffoifloont and Beautif al Oift the City at Chicago. 9 The ceremony of the unveiling of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, which took

place at Chicago, Saturday, drew an im

mense concourse of people to Lincoln park. This notable work is the gift of the late Eli Bates, of Chicago, who in his will bequeathed $40,000 for its erection. It is a most admirable presentment of the form and features of the martyred President. It is of heroic sise, measuring from foot to crown nearly twelve feet. Mr. St. Gaudons, the sculptor by whom it was designed, has devoted three years to its completion. The figure stands detachel before a chair of state, as though the President had just arisen to receive a petition or a delegation.The left leg is advanced, the body resting main iy on the right. The left hand grasps the lapel of the long frock coat, which is unbuttoned, and the right hand is held with the arm at

lATiofch hfthind the bodv. The head is

inclined slightly forward. The statue

was unveiled and formally presented to the people at 3 o'clock by Thomass P. Withrow, on behalf of the Bates befuest. Young Abraham Lincoln, a grandson of the President, and son of Robt. Lincoln, witndrew the veil from the figure- Hon. W. C. Qoudy, representing the board of parkcommissioners, accepted the gift, and Leonard Rwett delivered an oration on Abraham Lincoln. The exercises were alike interesting and impressive. Seats were erected in the park for 1,000 specially invited guests, including many of the more prominent residents of the eifcy and State, as well as visitors from abroad.

The figure iB in bronae, and is said to be the finest and most artistic achieve

ment in sculptor's art yet attained by

an American artiiat.

THE ANARCHISTS. justice Harlan Refuses to Gant a Writ, of Error;

And Refers Counsel to the "Whole Court Bxtra GUtarl Around the Chicago Jail Ttt Proceedings. Long before half past 10 o'clockjFriday morning, which was the hour set for the hearing of an application for a writ of error in the Chicago anarchist cases, the

conference room of the United States

Supreme Court, in the basement of the capitol at Washington, was uncomfortably crowded with lawyers and newspa

per nen, who were waiting to hear the

proceedings, John Eandolph Tacker,

General Rogor A. Pryor, General F,

Butler, Cantain Black and all of the

other counsel for the condemned pris

oners were present and in whispered

consultation, but at half past 10 neither

Justice Harlan nor the record in the cases had arrived. Five minutes later

however, two men came in carrying

with difficulty, a large, blue tin covered trunk corded with half inch rope, which contained the voluminous record, and under the weight of which the bearers visibly staggered. At twenty minutes to 11 Mr. Justice Harlan entered the conference room, and after greeting the counsel and directing that all newspaper men be allowed to come in and take such places as best suited their convenience, he seated himself at his desk and called for attention. As soon as the room had become quiet, Justice Harlan, without waiting for any formal motion or application from the prisoners' counsel, said with slow, deliberate enunciation: Thw is am application lor a writ of error t bring up for reytew by the iupreina Court of tha United States a judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of Elinoie, involving the liberty of on of the petitioners and the lives of the others. The time fixed for executing the sentence of death is, I am informed,-the 11th day of November. Under the circumstances it is mv dmt? to facilitate an early decision of any question in the case of which the Supreme Court of the United States may proierly toko tognisance. If I should allow a writ of error, ft is quite certain that eounsel would hve to repeat before that court the argument which they propose now to make before me. On ':he other hand, if I should refuse the writ, the defendants would he at liberty to renew their application before itny other justise of the Supreme Court, and as human life and liberty are involved, that justice might feel obliged, notwithstanding a previous refusal of the writ to look iuto the case and determine for him self whether a writ of error should be allowed. If he also refused, the defendants could take the papers to aoine other member of the court and so on until evtry justite had been applied o, or until some justice granted the writ. lu this way it U manifest that delays might oecur that would be very embarrassing iu view of the short time intervening between this day and the date fixed for earrying into effect the judgment of the State court. As the ease is one of a very serious character, in whatever aspect it may he regarded, Ideem it proper to mak an order, which 1 now do, that counsel present this application to ihe court in open session, to the end that early and final action may be had upon the question whether that court has jurisdiction to review the judgment in this case. There Is no reason why it may not be presented to the eonrt at its session to-day. Counsel may state that the publication is made to the court pursuant to my direst ion. Application to the United States court for a writ of error in the anarchists1 case was made in open court shortly alter noon Friday by General Pryor, The noinis upon which he relied to show that the cases involved federal questions which would givo this court jurisdiction were: (1) That the stai n to ot Illinois relating to the impaneling of juries makes it pjisiblo to try the prisoners with a pariial and pre judiced jury, ss was in fact done in this cose, and that such a statute is obnoxious to the federal constitution; and (S) That the prisoners were compelled to testify Against themselves, and criminate themselves, and that criminating evidence against them was obtained by the police from their private desks without search warrants in violation of the constitutional provisions that a man shall not he deprived of life; etc , without due process of law. The court directed Mr. Pryor to have printed at once the parts of the record which presented these questions and have the printed copies ready for submission to the court Friday or early Saturday morning.

Hon. B. Washburne Xad. The Hon. E, B. Washburno, ex-minister to France, and one of the most dia tinguished men of the .West, died at the home of his son in Chicago, Saturday afternoon, of congestion of the heart and brain. a Mr. Washburne was born in Maine in 1816, and from a farmer's boy rose to a printer's apprentice, then a lawyer,6tateEi man and diplomate. Honesty, integrity and ability marked his whole career. He was elected to Congress in 18S2 from the Galena, 111., district, where he settied in 1840, and served in Congress continuously until I860. During the war legislation he so persistently and determinedly opposed and fought steals and jobs that he earned the name of the "Wateri-doir of the Treasurv." Mr.

Washburne was always a warm admirer of General Grant, and the first act of

General Grant after he became Presi

dent, was to appoint Mr. wasnburne

Secretary of State. Ill health, however, soon compelled Mr, Washburne to re

sign that position, and he accepted the

post of minister to France, which he filled with marked ability for nine yeaTs, and resigned on the election of Mr.

Haves.

The State departments at Washington

were closed to public business, Thursday,

the day of the funeral, out of respect to

the memory of the late Mr. Washburne. The remains were interred at Galena.
