Lynched by Trainmen.
Bedford, Ind., May 15.—To-day a
mob if 100 trainmen of the Ohio and
Mississippi Valley railroad armed them
selves and proceeded to the county jail,
where John Turley was confined.
Turley, some days since, murdered
Conductor L. F. Price, and since then
exciteitfent has been high and a lynching
was momentarily expected.
The crime was committed on account
of conductor Price refusing to recognize
an expired pass that Turley presented,
the latter shooting him with a 38 cali
bre revolver.
Turley was taken from his cell and
carried into the jail yard, where he
was swung to a convenient tree.
The lynchers quietly dispersed after
accomplishing their purpose, leaving
the victim to the authorities to dispose of.

They Nearly Killed One Girl and Drove
Another Crazy by Pranks.
Bridgeport, Conn., May 17.—Mamie
Lynch, employed in the carriage fac
tory in this city, was made the victim
of a practical joke a few days ago and
she is now confined to her bed as the
result of the 6care she received.
At this same factory a few weeks ago
Mamie Butler was put on a harrel by
her companions and rolled about, and
for weeks hovered between life and
death from the terrible fright she re
ceived.
Etta Jamison, who is employed in the
same room with the Lynch girl, bought
a toy snake made of paper and took it
to the factory. It was so arranged that
it should come through the machinery
where Mamie Lynch was working.
■When she saw the head of the snake
with month wide open, the girl uttered
a cry and ran from the room. The
Jamison girl with the snake in her
hands pursued her, running from one
room to another until, exhausted, Ma
mie Lynch fell to the floor. She was
taken home and since that time has
been confined to her bed, her reason
shattered and the chances of her recov
ery in doubt.
That Indiana Break Not Bad.
Indianapolis, May 17.—State Bank
Examiner Packard reports that so far
as the examination of tne Capital Na
tional bank has proceeded, the national
bank examiner has found more cash and
pape- equivalent to cash on hand than
reported either by the president or
cashier. The examination will require
two or three days to complete. The
state bank examiner has been requested
by Deputy Comptroller of Currency
Tucker to co-operate with Examiner
Young. He adds that the report which
they anticipate making will be favor
able. If it is favorable it is a mere
matter of telegraphic order directing
the bank to again open its doors.
James B. Keene’s Lucky Stars.
New York. May 17.—It is alleged as
a bit of inside history of the big crash
in National Cordage that James R.
Keene is $1,500,000 winner. Private infor
mation, it is said, conveyed through a
trio of brokers* wires, enabled Keene to
pay off some old scores and at the same
time make a fortune. The ex-Califor
nian is is said to have been the myste
rious bear in the great crash of this in-
uostrial stock.
A City’s Bonds Refused.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 17.—About
two months ago the city sold $158,000
in bonds for refunding purposes. The
Equitable Mortgage company of New
York, the purchasers, have refused to
accept the delivery on grounds of ille
gality in the issue, due to the act of the
registration clerk at Austin. Mayor
Paddock, who is in New York, tele
graphed that the true ground was the
stringency in the money market. He
will cash the $5,000 forfeit check, remit
to the city treasury, and a lawsuit is
probable.
Hors Complications In Kansas.
Topeka, May 17.—The officers elected
in fully one-tbird of the state have
failed or refused to comply with the
election law passed last winter requir
ing a full detailed report of all moneys
expended by candidates for office. The
attorney general has decided that all
such persons are liable to presecution
and that the election of persons who
had failed to comply with this law
would be contested. This decision
will probably start dozens of contests,
and many Republicans elected will have
to give their offices to Populists.
An Exodus of Jews.
New York, May 17.—Harold Freder
ick’s statement in his cable letter that
the exodus of Jews from Poland had
actually begun, and that the refugee?
were already arriving in America, is
fully borne out by the facts. A consid
erable number of Polish Jews came ©v
the steamship Dania, which arrived la -
Friday, and another consignment got i:.
on Saturday on the Werkendam. Then
were 827 Polish Jews on the Dania, a:-,
all came by way of Hamburg.
