Hpcclal to tlio Omaha Herald: Ell Owens, tlio man who was ar rested licro Friday Inst on tlio chnrgo of having committed ft foul otitrngo on Ida Orlm, ii 10-ycnr-old girl, nnd Ills sister-in-law, was hung by a vigilance coninilttco at 3 o'clock this morning. Tlio crime occurred near Alexandria, and lynching was looked for; but when tlio prisoner w.ib moved to this ilaco and put in tliocounty jail ho was presumed to bo safe. Tlio mob, all masked, came from Alexandria on horses and was more than twenty strong, fully armed and determined. The jailer was awakened by raps at tlio door and on answering tho call was con fronted by tlio leader of tho vigilnnts and a bra co of revolvers. Peaccablo admission to tlio jiiil was nsked for and refused, and then a rush was mado for tho door by tlio mo., who stood In waiting outside. Sledges and crowbars knocked tho door from its hinges nnd access was easy. After that thero was no resistance. A demnnd for Owens wns mado, but ns liowns not forth coming tho door to his cell wns quickly found and broken down without trouble. Tlio prisoner was discovered cowering in n corner. Ho trembled with four and begsed for his life, knowing tliat his Inst hour had como. He was vouchsafed no answer, and from that tlmo know his captors would bo unmerciful. Tho door broken In, a rope wns thrown around Owen's neck and a (logon ready hands soirid tlio other end and drugged the doomed wretch outsiilo. Thero n wagon was found awaiting nnd into the box tho prisoner wns bundlud. llo was followed by lin f a dozen men who sat down on him tonreventhim from breaking away. At. this tlmo his shrieks and lamentations and prayers for mercy and a fair hearing could lie heard all over the town, and a largo number of citizens wero startled from their beds, tlio screams being blood-curdling nnd fearful to hear. Men and women in nil sorts of dress, or rather lack of dross, rushed into tho street, only to bo mot by u few big Hilent men whoso oyes fhishod mean ingly from behind blnek musks as they pointed thelrrevoversat llieninnd signaled thoni to return to their beds. Most of tlioni did so. but nil effort was made to (lis Btinde them from currying out their lawless nets. Among theso were .Indue Richards nnd W. 1). Clalbruith, but they had spoken only a few words when they woro sur rounded and persuaded into believing thai discretion was tho better pint of valor. They wero ordered by two men to lomuia witli tho mob nnd not glvo ni alarm. "Monnwhilo tho lynchers lind mounted I heir horses, nnd at tlio signal tlio cavnlade rodo rapidly out of town. Owens continued to yell, but his cries were of no avail. He wns answered only with kicks and blows. Ho could reculvo no encouragement or liopo from tho grim, silent horsemen, who gal loped furiously at his side. Indeed, his rapiers tortured and tormented him all the way to his death, bruising him in a ter rible manner. Word hnd been luft not to billow tlio vigilantes under pain of denth, but all liaslo was mado ami many turns taken to throw pursuers off the track. Three miles from the town a clump of trees was reached, nnd Owens wns swung to a tree, his feot swinging flvo feet from tho ground. Whether a confession was ex torted from tho culprit is not known. The sheriff was awakened by the noiso and at once organized a band of men to follow the lynchers. An hour was lost in trying to find trace of tho lynchers; their trail wns dually struck, nnd just nt dawn the body was discovered lazily swinging In I ho fresh morning breoze. It. was yot warm, but tho inn ii was beyond nil hope of resus citation. Ho had boon slowly strangled. Tho distorted face, drawn up limbs, and souil-clad body presented a horrible up pcnrntico. Tho remains woro brought to tlio city and nn inquest held, tho jury returning a ver dict that deceased entuoto his death nt tho hands of unknown persons. All the fuels did not como out at the inquest, us there is ii disposition hero to ferret out the vigi lantes and bring tlicm to justieo. Tho o Ul cers wero espec ally close-inoutheil and ap parently soro over tho affair. Tliero Is no question that tho mob caniofroni Alexan dria, whero Owens' execution wni do .iiiiuidod on all sides. Owons'crlmo was committed Friday evon big. Ho wont to tho house of a neighbor wlieru Miss Grim, a sister of his wife, was employed as a domestic, inviting her to go riding In his buggy. Shornnsonted and tho pair drove away. Two mile out. in a very scc'udod Npot, Owens ussalled the girl and succeeded in committing a most dlahollciil out rage. Ho accompl'shed Ids hellish purpose by threatening to kill hor with a knife which he held in his hand, and also a revolver. Ho admitted his guilt, and promised on tlio tiny of Ills liiiil to bo a lietter iiiau if not sent to jail. He repealed his hellish deed three times, and threatened her if she mentioned It to her parents or others. Ho told his wife before ho left homo what ho Intended doing, and threatened her life also if she tovealed it to anyone. rnovonr it as eahtiiqvakk.

Tho Forslto I'owder and Dynamlto com pnny'H works, near 1 Input rong, Now Jersey, wero blown up on tho 22d by a terrific ex plosion, which shook tho country for miles around, People thought there was an earthquake, and when tho sky in tlio direc tion of Lake Hopatcong becamo lurid a short tlmo lator it was conjectured that the Hotel llreslin, at tho head of the lake, was burning.

Washington dispatch: In vetoing tho veteran pension bill to-day tlio presldont snvs: I am so thoroughly tired of disap proving gifts of public money to in dividuals who, in my viow, havo no right or claim to tho same, notwithstanding ap parent congressional sanction, that I inter pose with a feeling of relief lu a enso wlicro 1 find It unnecessary to determine tho merits of tho application. In speaking of the promiscuous and ill-advised grants of pensions which havo lately been presented to me for approval, I have spoken of their nppuretit congressional sanction in recog nition of tlio Tact that a largo proportion of theso bills havo novor been submit tod to a majority of either branch of congress, but aio the result ot nominal sessions hold for the express purpose of their considera tion and attonded by a small major ity of tho members of tho respective houses of tlio lcdslatlvo branch of tho government. Thus, in considering theso bills, I hnvo not felt that I was aided by tlio deliberate judgment of con gicss. nnd when I have deemed It my duty to disprove many of tlio bills presented. I havo hardly regarded my action as dis tant from tho conclusions of tlio people's representatives. I havo not been Insen sible to a suggestion which should influence any citizen, either In private station or ollieial place, to exhibit not only just but generous appreciation of tlicserviccs of ur country's defenders. Heedlessness and dis regard of the princlplo which underlies granting of pensions is iinMr to tlio wounded, crippled soldier who is honor, d in just recognition of his government. Such a man should never bo sido by side on tlio pension roll with those who havo been tempted to attribute their natural ills, to which humanity is heir, to service in tho army. Tlio presidont sug gests tho significance of the startling In crease in pension legislation and con sequences involved in its coutintinncc. In his veto for tlio public building at Sioux City, tlio president says: Tlio re port of tho committee of tho house of rep resentatives to whom this bill wns re ferred, states that, by tho census of 1880, the population of Sioux City was nearly 8,()()().and that by anollier enumeration, since made, its population would seem to exceed 2:1,000. It is further slated in tlio report that for tho accommodation of this population tlio city contains 393 brick and 2 9N1 fnuiio buildings. It seems, to 1110 1 hut in consideration of tho merits of this bill the necessities of tho government should control tho question and that it should bo decided as a biisinoxs proposi tion, dependent upon tho needs of a gov ernment, building at tlio point proposed in order to do tho government work. This greatly reduces tho valuo of the statistics showing tho population, extent of business, prospective growth nnd matters of that kind which, though exceedingly interesting, do not always demonstrate tho necessity of the expenditure of a largo sum of money for a public building. 1 find upon examina tion that United Stales courts nro some times hold at Sioux City, but that they hnvo been tluisfar held in tho county court houso without serious iiiconvonieiice and without any expound to tho government. There aro actually no other federal olllcers tliero for whom thogovcriiiuent should pro vide accommodations, except the postmas ter. Tlio poHtolllco is now located in a building rented by tlio government until tho first of January, 18S9, at tho rate of 12,200 por annum, lly tlio last report of the supervising architect, it appears that on October 1, 1885, (hero wero eighty now buildings in course of con struction and that tho amount expended tlieroon (luring tho preceding year was nearly two and one-half million dollars, whlln'hirgo appropriations woro asked to bo expended on theso buildings during tho current year. In my judgment tlio number of public buildings should not at this time ho increased unless greater public necessity exists therefor than is apparent in this THE HUSH XATIOSAL LEAGUE.

Ci are Comilteatlom Oroxe'ny Out of Expul sion nf the rrtnees. A d s. 'atcli just received from Paris stater that there Is an Imminent probability of a deadlock between the senate and chamber of deputies on question ot the expulsion of tin princes. The radicals of the chamber overshot the inr :.r In making their bill too sweeping to be stomached bv the aristocrats of the senate. and lu first reception by the latter body was its reference to a special committee, compris ing a large majority of known royal'sts, amid sneers and derisive laughter. This committee made short work of the bill. During the ses sion It was shown that the charges against Oomtode Paris were: First that ho had sub sidized tho so called agricultural committees, throughout the country, which were really election C)tamlttcc3 formed in bis Interest. The absurdity of this charge was shown ' by the fact that at the last election, despite the formal order ot Compte de Paris, tho agricul tural list of eaclldates remained in the field at the second ballot, the result being the triumph 01 many ralcalj over moderate republicans, whom the royalists would of course have preferred. The "other charge was the grandeur of the reception glvou by Cointo de Paris on hisdaughtcr's departure from Lis bon to he married, and tho inviting to his. recep tion of the foreign ambassador in Paris. In ans wer to this It was shown that theso same am bassadors had always been lu terms ot re ciprocal hospitality with tho comtc, and with nil members of his family. Ho would have l.cu lacking in common courtesy had he ladled to Invite them, although he was doubt less aware they would accept the invitations. This charge was therefore laughed out ot court, and it was found that there was ically no allegations of Illegal conduct on the part ot tho head of tho Orleans houso. As to tho Mouapartcs It was sufficient fur tho destruc tion ot that part of tho bill to quo'c Do Frcy-' ciuct's bon mot: "If the Orleamsts aro cx- 1 died the lionapartes will feel slighted If they are not also banished." This disposed of the whole bill, which the committee rejected by a vote of 0 to 3. The best judgment obtained Is thnt tho senate will sustain the act'on of Its committee. In this case there Is likely to be a. I rolonged wrangle between tho two hous-s of parliament. Concessions will bo asked for, which will cause a long debate aud probably materially cliauge the provisions of tho bill. This will be an exceedingly critical time for De Freyclnet and his cabinet. Tlio render has hitherto succeeded beyond expectation In hunting with tho hounds and running with the hares, but will now he daily confronted with novel and i niharras'Ing questions, upon which h can hardly take any stand with out the violation of some pledge or declaration tuat lie has mado to 0110 sido or other, llo has also four violent cxpulsionists amo.ig fie incnibe s of his cabinet, who must be placated if the ministry is to stand. This again com promising the fact that the wholo radical campaign for exjiellin tho prin'c-'s was less for the purpose of accomplishing tlielr expul sion than tors; ceding tho premier's d. wuiull. The next few days will also bo a critical per iod for the republic itself. Tho satirists arc alreadv frying that France, having shown a pitiful weakness in seeking to expel the princ es, is now showing still more weakness lu not expelling them after declaring Us intention to do so. The event has also added a certain de cree of dignity to the attitude of tlio Comte de Paris. He has bjen recognized by the highest ollieial authority in the land as a per son sgo of Importance. lie Is mado a pretend er to"tho throne willy nllly.and his Importance Is vastly augmented among the clergy and no bility of the whole couutry. Altogether It will bo well for De Freyclnet, Grevy and all interested lu tho present regime or in tho con tinuance of republicanism In Franco to use their utmost endeavor to bring the crisis to a. close at the earliest possible moment.
