accessories in the minder, were

mons county lust Light and lynch
ed .
The lynching I as been apparent
ly coollv planned and was carried
out without a hr. ak in the pro
gramme.
Williamsport, where the lynch
ing took place, is i-bout forty miles
from this city and . ff the railroad.
The news of the hanging was re
ceived here yesterday afternoon
when a mourned messenger arrived
and announced that tin three men
had been lynched.
The sheriff of the county , Peter
Shier, was in this city the time of
the hanging. The men had been
io the custody of Deputy Sheriff
Tom Kelly, and they were taken
from his conirol by a mob and
hanged tn a beef windlass several
hundred yards from the j lil, where
th. ir bodies were left swinging to
the bret ze during the day .
There were about for'y men con
cerned in the lynching. I hey road
into Williamsport on horseback
late at night and tethered their
horses a almrt distance form the
city that they might secure them
again after the deed was dons. The
jail in which the prisoners were
confined is a substantial stout
structure and was in charge of
Deputy Sher.fl Kelly. Since the
confinement of the priscners there
in so great has leen the fear that
they mijlit escape in some way
that ono man was watched all
night within the jail, and Satur
day night Kelly was on guard.
There was a meeting of the lodge
of Woodmen in a building near
the jail, a.id as Kelly was a mem
ber he expected to meet some of
the mambea of the lodge after the
assembly adjourned. To while
away the time he was playing soli
taire in front of the cells in which
the murderers were col fined.
About 2 o’clock in the morning
there was a rap at the outer door
of the jail. Kelly arose quickly
and turned the koy in the lock,
thinking that the persons hr ex
pected to meet had arrived.
No sooner had he opened the
door than the mob crowded into
the corridors. All of them w°re
masked and the leaders carri d
ropes purchased for the occasion.
The lynchers were quiet but deter
mined. The leaders presented a
revolver at the heud of the deputy
sheriff and told him they wanted
his prisoners and demanded that
he open the cells in which they
were coi fined.
Kelly demurred but saw that re
sistance was useless and unlocked
the cells.
Two of the prisoners «< re lock
ed up together and thrf other m a
separate cell. They had been
aroused from sleep by the entrance
of the men and sat up half awake
ft nd trembling with terror. Ho y
track and Ireland were dragged
from their beds, ropes were fasten
ed about their necks and they
were pulled out on the ground af
erbein; told to pn pare for death.
The men were then taken to a
huge bi"f windlass which had been
erected to suspend the carcasses
„f slaughtered beeves and stiurg
up on a cross beam.

MAKE ON HANNA.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL
Although The Junior Senator’s
Friends Say Not So.
Cleveland, 0.. Nov. 15.—Each
dav the, sena'orial situation
hi comas more critical. Although
the friends and advisers of Sena
ator Hanna mantained that they
are not at all frightened, and that
he will have at least 75 vetes on
joint ballot, they are not leaving
a stone unturned to keep theri
fractory Legislators in line.
The scene at the Hanna head
quarters is an active one showing
that the battle is mt yet over.
Mr. Hanna has not left the city
as he planned and each day finds
him at his office in conference
with Major Dick and other prom
inent politicians.
Major Dick had planned to go
to Washington after the election
but it is now said he will remain
in Ohio and probably in this city
until a senator is elected by the
Legis'atur?.
The Hanna forces are somewhat
perturbed by the the return
tc Ohio from Washington of Sena
ator Foraker. It is claimed in
some quarters that the senator *ill
make an open fight on Hanna but
this is not given much cr'dence.
't is now the pl n of the anti-
Ham aiu?s to work quietly and to
put in their best eIT. rts w here they
will do the m st good.
