MURDERED BY A MOB,
The Slanderers of Public School
Teachers Are Punished.
Special by News Telegram Association.
^Defiance, 0., Feb. 25.—Business was
largely suspended here to-day, and to
night the streets are alive with excited
people. The schools are completely
demoralize!. Last Saturday Superin
tendent Butler ot the public schools
detected J- H. Mull, janitor of ihe Cen
tral building, watching him through a
hole in the ceiling. A war of words
ensued, and Mull went before .the School
Board Monday and accused Butler of in
timacy with three of the lady teachers.
He named a time at which he had seem
Butler caress three teachers during one
afternoon. Wm. Wyant, tbe assistant
janitor, corroborated the story.
The testimony at first looked so strong
that the superintendent narrowly es
caped violence, and the ladies were os
tracized Monday night. Yesterday a
close investigation was made and it was
discovered that at the time named by
the janitor, Butler was several miles
away. The indignant citizens warned
Mull and Wyant to leave town,but they
did not, and last night an armed mob
went to Mull’s house. They claim they
did not see Mull, but this morning his
dead body was found between tbe tracks
in the Wabash railroad yards. His
throat was cut from ear to ear, and two
deep cuts entered the heart. He had
been horribly mangled by the cars. A
knife was found near the body. Wyant
is also missing and there is rumor that
his body is in tbe canal. The discoveries
have created wild excitement. Mull
has many friends and they declare they
will have Butler’s life. Friends of all
concerned are armed. Women

And Works Ruin and Havoc In the
Juana Valley—Great Loss of Life.
San Diego, CaL, Feb. 27.—Several
deaths have resulted from the flood at
Tia Juana. A Mexican was drowned
while attempting to assist others. A
druggist named Scribner was swept
away in his store by the flood.
There is not a building left standing
upon its foundation. The Russ house is
the only one that has not been com
pletely wrecked, and that is badly dam
aged.
The main current of the Fia Juana
river runs through the town. The valley
is completely swept of fencing, wind
mills, eta A number of cattle, hogs
and horses are known to have perished.
There has been no communication
with the Mexican side yet, and it is im?
jossible to tell the damage or number of
ivee lost. _ . .
A message from Des Cauze states that
thirty-three inches of rain has fallen
within sixty hours at Stonewall, the
heaviest rainfall ever known in that sec
tion.

m. Decision as Referee to Sent Back to
Cleveland for a Rehearing.
New York, Feb. 27.—A decision has
been rendered by the supreme court,
general term, reversing that recently
given by' ex-Pesident Grover Cleveland
as referee in the suits known familiarly
as the “Langdon dock suits,’’ but brought
by different members of the Langdon
and Astor families against tie city to re
cover damages for the taking by tha
city of certain warfage rights on tha
North river acquired originally by John
Jacob Astor.
The suit has been in the courts for
several years, and from .time to time
various referees have beeu appointed,
the last in tbe list being Mr. Clove land.
The matter has been taken to the ooort
of appeals several times, which tribunal
has passed upon all the questions of law
involved in the case. All that remains
now is to determine the value per run
ning foot to be awarded to the plaintiffs
for their rights.
One referee gave $1,000 per running
foot as the proper sum to pay. Mr.
Cleveland made an award of $iw» a
Judge Van Brunt, who

be ridiculously small, aud dirtsAii a re-
