An Immense orowd was present. The
authorities were powerless.
Henderson’s death was mnch like
that of n frightened beast. He lost all
nerve.
A railroad rail was driven into the
ground in the corner of tho courthouse
lot nnd boxes ami wood oiled around it
and saturated with oil. About 40 made
a rush from the jail across tile street to
the courthouse. In their midst was the
negro, handcuffed. ....
The men formed a circle, holding to
a chain which completely snrronudod
Henderson to prevent mi attempt of the
enraged people to get nt him and tear
him to pieces. They rushed to pile the
wood and fastened the negro to the iron
rail with wire ami chains. Cans of oil
were dashed over his clothes and dozens
of lighted matches touched to the in
flammable material.
Just before the pile was tired Conway
Younger, husband of the murdered
woman, jumped at Henderson and
slashed him across the face with a knife.
As the flames encircled the negro and
ran over his clothing the crowd yelled,
and Younger again attempted to cut the
murderer with his knife.
At no time daring the burning did
Henderson give any indication of pain
and suffering. He rolled his eyes so as
to get a glimpse of the sea of angry
faces which surrounded him and his
hands moved slightly. It was about ten
minntes before he was dead.

ANXIETY OF THE PUBLIC
The Kx-President Gradually but Sure-
ly Growing Weaker—Death Now
Deemed Inevitable and May Come
at Any Moment.
Indianapolis, March 13. — Waiting
for the end.
That is what the family, relatives and
friends of ex-President Harrison are do
ing today. At no time within the past
48 hours have the physicians at the bed
side of the distinguished patient given
hope to those whose vigil at tho bedside
has been so faithful.
The-most comfort that comes to the
Harrison household is the assurances of
the physicians that the general is not
suffering. Bulletins issued hourly show
that (tenth can be but a few hours dis
tant.
There is a hush in the home that por
tends death. Few callers are admitted,
and when the front door is opened wide
it is for the admission of n messenger
boy, bearing a message of sympathy
from nearby or faraway sympathizers.
A large number of telegrams was re
ceived at the Harrison home today. An
unfortunate report got abroad in other
cities that the general had died, and
messages of condolence have already
been received. Among these were mes
sages from Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Car
negie of New York and another from
Senator Fairbanks.
THE STORY OF THE NIGHT,
Long Vigil of Auxlous Watchers at
the Bedside.
Indianapolis, March 13.—Last -light
was a long, anxious vigil to the watch
ers at the bedside of General Harrison
and the thousands pf friends of the ex
president all over the country. The
gloom at the Harrison home spread not
only over this city but over the state
and nation, and the whole country lis
tened with the deepest concern for the
story of the fight against death told in
the bulletins that came hourly from the
Bide of the dying man.
At !\he Harrison home in North Dela
ware street hundreds of telegrams, tele
phone calls and personal inquiries nnd
expressions of grief and sympathy were
received from the jintnjediate friends pf
the family and from men prominent in
the affairs of the nation who were asso
ciated at one time or another with the
ex-president. ,
The distinguished patient himself
could not have fought more tenaciously
for life than his frieuds.
Anxiety of the Public.
The newspaper and telegraph offices
In Indianapolis were besieged with
crowds of all sorts ami conditions of
people, eager for the latest news in re
gard to General Harrison’s condition.
The sidewalks in front of the offices
were lined with people watching the
bulletins, and telephone calls came con
stantly. Telephone calls came not only
from every section of the city, but from
towns and cities in every corner of the
state.
At 8 am. Dr. Henry Jameson issued
the following bulletin:
Since last report the patient has
grown some weaker with distinct evi
dence of failure of circulation. ”
Another Lynching Threatened.
Canton, Miss., March 13.—The peo
ple are much dissatisfied with the ac
quittal of Russell Broach, white, and
the release, unconditionally or on bail,
of seven of tho eight negroes charged
with the murder of the Gamble family.
There aro again threats to lynch all
these and Andrew Boyd, the other ne
gro in tho case, who is still in jail.
Industries of Georgia.
Atlanta, March 13.—State Commis
sioner of Agriculture O. B. Steven* last
night left Atlanta for Washington,whero
he ha* been requested to appear before
the industrial commission appointed by
congress to secure statistics regarding
the industrial condition of the United
8tatea
In Paris the public authorities supply
gratuitously sulphurous baths to all
workers who manipulate lead.
The watchers at the residence of Gen
eral Harrison throughout tho night were
the physicians. Dr. Jameson nnd Dr.
Dorsey; the nurses; Mr. Tibbitt, the
general's secretary; his lifelong friend
and former law partner, W. H. H. Mil
ler, and Mrs. Harrison. None of these
watchers remained constantly at the
bedside, for they were so overcome by
the strain of the many anxions hours
that had-passed since the patient's con
dition became critical that they were
forced to seek a little rest during the
night, but one of the physicians, one of
the nurses nnd one ot the members of
the household were in constant attend
ance.
(dinging to Life.
The bulletins as issued by Dr. Jame
son througiiont the night told bnt little
of the hard, anxious fight that was be
ing made against death. Kach bniletin
carried practically the same information
as its predecessor; there was no marked
change in ibu general's condition, ex
cept that he was gradually growing
weaker. But this meant that most he
roic treatment was being administered
and that ho was clinging to life with re
markable tenacity:
The oxygen treatment, by which it
was Hoped that the patient’s breathing
might be eased to such an extent that
the affected portion of his lungs might
bo relieved of tbe strain that deepened
the inflammation while he would be
able to recuperate a little of the strength
that was being continually worked
away, was administered regularly.
While it did not bring results tna* were
at any time encouraging, it enabled the
general to prolong the fight.
General Harrison gave no signs dar
ing the night that indicated that he
recognized those abont him or that he
was suffering greatly.

while a source of annoyunce to the phy-

ple to guarantee that they have reme

offers have been received from crank*

treatment.
, —, A Sad K
A feature which deeped the gloom
that lay over the household early todaj
that lay over the household early today
was the probability that neither Russell
B. Harrison nor Mrs. Mary Harrison
McKee, the general’s son and daughter,
would be able to reach his bedside be
fore tho end came. A telegram received
last night from tbe former stated that
ho would leave Washington at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, which wonld bring him
into this city at about midnight tonight;
while a message from the latter from
Saratoga, N. Y., received at about the
same time, contained the inlortuation
that she conld not leave tbe bedside of
her two children, who were seriously ill
of the measles.
This morning when the people of the
city learned that the general hnd lived
through the night there were expres
sions of reliof and gratification ou all
sides, in spite of the word from the side
of the patient that he was very low. It
seemed to be the general belief that, if
he had successfully fought off death
through the night, day wonld bring to
him a new- lease of life. However, this
hope did not relieve the anxiety felt by
all. and the bniletin boards were sur
rounded by the same large crowds and
the telephone calls came in the same
numbers as yesterday and last night.
Oxygen Treat meat.
The oxygen treatment which is being
used in General Harrison's case is the
same treatment that saved Rndyard
Kipling from death from pneumonia
when he was attacked by tb»7 disease
abont n year ago. In Mr. Ki)”ag’s case
n strong constitution nnd compilative
yontb enabled him to rullv under the
treatment and successfully fight off the
disease.
Many beautiful flowers have been re
ceived at the Harrison home during the
illness of the general, and each honr
brings in many additional offerings of
this character. Very few of tho flowers
have been irtkeu into the sick room, bat
down -tairs the air is heavy with the
odor of ail kinds of flowers. One of the
most striking of these floral offerings is
a great armful of magnificent long
stemmed American beaty roses, which
occupies a large jardiuierre in the front
parlor.
Reporters Barred Out.
The Harrison home was closed to
newspaper men today. Yesterday and
last night the honse was fairly besieged
With reporters of the local papers and
correspondents for foreign papers, until
it was apparent that a change of ar
rangements for furnishing bulletins
wonld be necessary. Accordingly, it
was arranged to give out tbe bulletins
only by telephone. Newspaper men
who called at the house today were
eonrteonsly informed that they conld
not get admittance, bat that any
information they might want would be
given to them by telephone. It was no
ticed that there was an almost continu
ous procession of messenger boys to the
house, bearing telegrams of condolence
and sympathy.

Chicago, March 12.—The coroner’s
inquest on the remains of the employes
of the Dorcmns laundry, who were
killed in yesterday’s boiler explosion,
has been set for March 10.
Expert engineers sent out by insur
ance companies are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the explosion was
the direct result of lack of sufficient
water in the boiler.
A. M. Domains, manager of tho de
stroyed laundry, is in nominal custody
of the police and probably will be held
until after the coroner’s inquest.
