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.

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 opinion in the case, declares this sum to be ridiculously small, aud dirtsAii a re- reference to Mr. Cleveland with instruc tions to admit as evidence the minutes of the dock department, which he r' excluded, showing what the city paid for similar right* m m
