whom a number of citizens were shot
was hanged by a mob about 5 o'clock
this morninc. Coroner Grey and jnrv
repaired early to the scene of the lynch
ing and after viewing tbe body entered a
verdict that the negro came to nis aeam
at the baads of persona unknown to mem
After the inquest officers were ordered to
take charge of ihe body, out tne singing
mass of men assembled woold not let
them touch it. A coal cait passing near
by was pressed into seivice and the body
thrown l'uto it. It was then hauled to
Mavor Trout'" residence. It was Eeem
ingiy the intent of thp mob to burn it in
his front yard. At thia moment nev,
Campbell appeared and dissuaded them
frcin carrying out the plan. Then they
took the body to the river to burn it
Fences were torn down, store boxes taken
and some one with un ax cut down sev
eral cedar trees near by Dry wood was
aid in a large pile near bv and on the
heau Uie negro's body was la'd. On top
of it cedar boughs wero thrown and then
iust before touching the match two gal
lons ot coal oil was poured over ail ine
match was touched to it and tbe flauus
shot rapidly up. It was an awful sight.
I- was not long bpiore the crowd dis-
persfd, but all the morning, men and
Sometimes an occasional woman, were
seen going toward the place of burning.
All that remained oi Smith at noon was a
few burning ashes and here and there a
bone, but tbe tire was st 11 burning and
those standing aronnd said it should bnrn
till there was not a vestage left. Acting
Mayor Bockner has assumed control and
suspended the chief of police and several
officers. Eight mt-n. were killed and 25
injured in the conflict last night.

For miles, as far as the eys can reach,
tnere is a black wa'.te. and, to add to the
horror, in a number of places are found
hlackened cud burned human trunks.
Nearly a dozen . of thi'se bodies have
been found, and it is feured many have
perished. There is no clue whatever to
the identity of these uolortucatt-s. The
dust storm continued ul! .da7 with un

missioner Lochreu submitted his annual
report to thb secretary of the interior to

year; claims for increase of pensions al
lowed, 24,715; for additional pensions

sions dnrinc the year, $156,740,467; tm.
ance at close of year, f 2,437.371. The
commissioner thinks the appropriations
for the pext fiscal year are ample. The
estimates for the fiscal year ending 1894
amount to $1(52.631. o50. He thinks
from 1895 on, trie pension list will de
crease through the fact that tbe Dumber
of applications will decrease,' owing to
tbe lapse of time since the war Tbe
tendency in this direction is already man
ifest. The commissioner then defends
his course in suspending certain pensions
granted by the former commissioner un
der the act of June 27, 1890, saying he
nought honestly and fairly to carry out
tbe provisions ot tbe law. citinsr instan
ces, declaring1' that they and other such
were granted in evident violation of that
