I)iisvKi:vCUilo., July 2f. Last night
B. C. I.lghtfoot, an old Grand Army
man, waa brutally murdered by Pan
A rato, an Italian aaloon-keejier ot un
aavory fame. The murderer waa placed
in the county jail and the matter haa
been diacuated all day by the people.
Many threata of lynching were made,
but nut much attention waa paid to
them, aa it waa thought the time for
frontier jnatice In Denver had paanod.
Thia evening, however, there waa a
large maaa meeting of unemployed men
at Seventeenth and Market atreeta.
There were apeechea made on the pres
ent financial deprenmon and kindred
topic.
When the aieakera were through, a
tall, gray-whiakered reteran, wearing a
Grand Army uniform, mounted the
atand and ahouted : "Follow me."
Tho crowd underatood him, and 5,000
people took up the march after him to
the county jail. On the way they were
joined Vy many hnndreda and w hen the
jail waa reached the crowd uuinliered
fully 10,000. The jail ia a new and maa
aive one and it waa not thought that it
could be entered by the crowd. Ilea in B
and every other available form of butter
ing implement, however, were brought
into play, and in a abort time the ont
eida door on the north aide waa battered
in. At thia point Captain Crewa, the
jailer and the guards, aaaiHted by aome
of the city police, turned a heavy atream
of water anon the crowd. It had do
elled on their ardor.
l!y thia time the crowd in the atreeta
around the jail a welled to 40,000 at
leaat. The people In the jail turned off
the lighta, leaving the entrance in dark
neaa. The crowd aecured headlighta
from Borne cable rara and brought them
to the scene. When the door leading to
the jail otiice (ell in the guard inaide
began to fire. The enraged mob did
not heriltate, although two of their num
ber received puinful wound. The
guarilaa quickly overpowered, and ao
the jWcr mould not give auy informa
tion, the crowd atarted in the aearch
for Arata'a wll. When it waa found
it waa quickly broken into. One of the
mob, with a knife, ripped at the uiur
derer'a abdomen. Other interfered
and he waa dragged out into the atreet,
pulled up to the limb of a tree and hia
body riddled w ith liulleta. Finally the
rope broke and the bleeding Ixxiy fell
into the gutter with a aplaah. Some of
the crowd yelled to burn it, but finally
a number of nien aeized the rope and
dragged the corpae by the neck through
the mud into the heart of the buaineee
portion of the city.
At Seventeenth and Curtia atreeta the
body waa again at rung up to a telegraph
(Kile and it waa a quarter of an hour be
fore the jiolice took it down and placed
it iu the morgue. The crowda then dia
peraed. A number of jaii olliciala were
badly hurt by ni'amlea thrown by the

the noted moonshiner chiuf, haa been
killed by John Belcher on the bank of

a married man, having obtained hia
wife by murder. He waa at first com
pletely fascinated with her, but when
he aaw Mrs. Belcher, the wife of hie
slayer, hia heart became her'a. He was
a handsome follow, and won the love of
Mra. Belcher. Her hnaband became
auapicious and charged her with being
unduly intimate with Hall. The wife

Next morning ahe left her home to go,

After her departure an enemy of Hall

Notice waa given

Outgoing vesaela tin

thev must clear befo
Saturdnv or enb-
lint to detention. Tho blockade will
extend along the entire north coast of
the Gulf of Sinm. The French fleet,
with M. Pavie, French minister resi
dent, has gone to Koh Si Chang. The
general expei'tiition is that early in
August the French fleet will attack
Bangkok and land eomo 5,000 men.
There ia little doubt here that France's
purpose ia to make ffiaiu a French col
ony. The Siamese government ia ex
ceedingly nnxiou to avoid open war
fare. When the gunboat Lutfn waa at
Menam bar early thia morning, the for
eign minister sent to M. Pavie a note to
the effect that the king and hia advisers
were moft anxioua to maintain peace.
All audi efforta, however, are believed
by the Fngliah residents to be in vain.
Unless F.ngland intervenee to assist in a
settlement of the dispute there can be
little expectation or even hope that
France will refrain from extreme ineas-

Washington, July 28. Large orders
given by the New York financial house
for gold abroad to be imported is re
corded ai the treasury department aa a
favorable aymptoni of returning confi
dence. Much gold now coming here is
the same exported several months ago.
The heavy shipment of American cereala
abroad within the past two month haa
materially reduced the balance of trade
against us. In each circumstances, it
will be natural for the United States to
continue to receive gold from abroad.
Gold in considerable quantities ia also
coming here from the West Indies.
This Spanish gold, on reaching our
shores, Cuds its way to the assay offices,
ia melted in bars, and this and the
Knropean gold soon find lodgment in the
United States treasury. From the pres
ent indications the gold in the treasury
therefore will soon paee 100,000,000. It
ia today 97,560,000. When the $100,
000,000 mark ia passed the treasury will
again resume th issuance of gold certi
ficates, which, under the law, had to be
euspended when the treasury gold waa
reduced below $100,000,000. Gold certi
ficates now outstanding aggregate fSO,
000,000, an unusually small quantity for
the treasury to have. The department,
however, shows little or no interest
whether the gold ia fl 00,000,000 or f'5,
000,000, as it ia the policy of Secretary
Carlisle to use the gold on band the
same aa he does tho currency in meeting
the obligations of the treasury, so for
several months past the gold reserve haa
lieen trei'ed aa available. Cash in treas
ury today ia $122,000,000.

Confessed ta Wife Murder.
Astokia, Or., July 2!). John Heneen
ha confessed to the murder of his old
and unoffending wife. Hansen's man
ner and bearing all along, and especi
ally hia conduct at the funeral of his
murdered wife, stamp him aa a man of
iron nerve, reckless of means and care
less of consequences. No horror was
visible in hia face when he bent over
the body of Ida victim at the morgue
and kissed the cold clay; no remorse
seemed to move him, except aa a pass
ing cloud, when he heard the clods fall
upon her coffn in Greenwood. There
w-aa scarcely need for him to confess,
for Sheriff Smith and hia aids and
Prosecuting Attorney Curtia were weav
ing an unbreakable web of circum
stantial evidence around him. So close
and connected ia the testimony which
those oflicera have secured that convic
tion, in .aseof trial, would have been
certain.

Minister So Reported.
Paris, July 29. Prince Vadehana, the
Siamese minister, went to tho foreign
office this morning to communicate to
M. Develle, minister of foreign affairs,
Siam' decision to accept the terms of
France' ultimatum, lie waa received
by M. Reroil, chief aecretary, who, with
out waiting for the prince to apeak of
hia mission, informed him that M. De
vello would be unable to receive him, aa
with the departure of M. Pavie from
Bangkok all diplomatic intercourse be
tween France and Siain had stopped.
M. Revoil waa proceeding to expresa hia
regreta, when Prince Vadehana ex
claimed :
"But I bring a flag of truce ; we accept
the ultimatum."
M. Revoil did not wait to hear more.
He bolted into M. Develle' presence,
ehouting,',Siam accepts the ultimatum."
He then explained that Prince Vade
hana had brought the news and waa
waiting outside. M. Develle at once re
ceived the prince w ith exceptional cor
diality. The prince repeated that Siam
accepted, and expressed the hope that
diplomatic relatione would bo resumed.
A Wanton Murder.
Astokia, Or., July 27. Mrs. Caroline
Hansen was murdered in a patch of
raspberry bnshea near her home Wednes
day evening. She waa found face
down, her akull crushed in, and the
head resting in a pool of blood, which
waa etill warm. She waa a quiet, good
old woman, against whom no mortal
could be expected to hold either enmity
or jealousy ; and neither lust nor gain
could have incited her slayer to the
dreadful deed. The scene of the murder
waa the family reeidence on Bear creek,
ten miles from this city.
The general opinion is that her hus
band, James Hansen, now under arrest
on suspicion, committed the foul deed.
The murdered woman was atruck from
behind, a stalwart arm swung the ax
and a cold-blooded fiend left the body
where it fell.
The crime, Dr. Belt believed, had
been committed within twelve hours,
and that instant death had ensued. All
of the evidence against Hansen ia purely
circumstantial, but atrongly point to
hia guilt. He told several conflicting
stories and hia evidence at the coroner's
inquest waa oontradicted in several im
portant particulars. The jury returned
a verdict that deceased came to her
death by foul play at the haiide of a
party or parties unknown; that from
the evidence they believed John Han
een to be the perpetrator and recom
mend that he be held to await the ac
tion of the grand jury.
Wednesday, soon before her death,
Mra. Hansen told her niece she be
believed her husband would kill her.
Hansen drank heavily and waa known
to have frequently quarreled with his
wife. There was some talk of lynching
among the settlera and the suggestion
made that Hansen bo etrung up to a
tree with a view of securing a confes
sion, but the sheriff' presence deterred
the men from acta of violence.

WASHINGTON LKTTEIi.
From mir Kinulur Cnrrcapomli'iit.
The congressmen aro not yet coming
in. They are postponing na long aa
poasible the evil hour when hot passion
with a hotter atmosphere must contend.
Only a few are to be found within the
limits of the District of Columbia. But
the group that forms the background of
congresa ia assembling, liko the cloud
growing out of many thin vapors. Face
that have been associated with the ses
sions of congresa for an indefinite term
of years, and which disappear myster
ioualy at the close of each session, are'
seen on the avenue and in the hotel lob
bies. Most of them look etrangely
seedy and hollow-eyed, like men awak
ened from a sound sleep at an unaccus
tomed hour. Their expressions of be
wilderment aecm to question : "Why
thia unusual disturbance of our summer
slumber?"
Where these men and women dwell
during the long summer seasons and
how they ao quickly ecent the coining
session ia one of the mysteries or dark
secrets of life at the nation's capital.
With the adjournment of congress they
disappear with red faces and flaring
noses as a rule, and they return at the
end of their retreat pale, with parched
lip and the glitter of great thirst ia
their eyes. One familiar with Washing
ton life would know from these sign
that a session waa near, if he liad not
heard of Mr. Cleveland'a call.
It ia but a very short while before the
opening of the extra se8sion. The
capitol will be ready. So will the cap
ital. But for the presence of foreign
tourists bound for the White City, the
hotels have been almost deserted during
the summer. Places w hich have been
accustomed to throngs all the winter
long have been tenantless. In a few
days there will be a changed aspect of
atla'rs.
The sidewalk of the avenue will be
thronged. Politics will be in the air
thick enough to cut with a knife.
Rumore will be more numerous than the- .
sands of the sea. Washington when
the national legislature is about to begin
to get ready to commence one of its
struggles is different from the Washing
ton of the dog day in an off year. The
nation ia guided from here, and many
things stop when the history factory,
stops.
The various phase of aoido-polilical
life at Washington contain few more in
teresting aspects than ia to be found in
the notable turnout that from time to -time
have become familiar to the eye of;"
Washingtoniana. It ia the foreign-
equipage that have been most resplend
ent. A genuine sensation waa produced
by the late D'Arco Valley, who, ' ahortly
after his installation here aa German
minister, made the round of calls on the
cabinet in hi dark-blue paneled car
riage attended by hia men in full mili
tary regalia. He was a sight long to be
remembered. Mr. Gregcr, of the Rus
sian legation, was aleo instrumental in
giving Washingtoniana their first
glimpse of a genuine Russian drosky.
The tournout, with ita dramatic acces
sories, even to the etolid-Iooking, big
nosed driver w ith husky crop of hair cnt
straight from ear to ear, standing out
like u w hiskbrouin under hia peculiarly
fiat, low-crowned hat, were imported
direct from Russia. The latu president
Arthur, who for dignified bearing and
the general elegance of hia equipngea,
lias never been excelled by any incum
bent of the white house, owned a little
piebald pony presented to him by an
Indian chief during n trip through the
Yellowstone park. The president was
a tall man, wtiich waa to unexpectedly
like that famous one of John Gilpin that
the experience waa never repeated.
