A DESPERATE MOB Fired Upon While Trying to Lynch a Negro Fiend. HE HAD RAPED AN OLD LADY The Mob Threatens to Blow np the Courthouse and Additional Troops Have Been Sent Negro Pleads Onllly to Outraging a White Woman. Washihgto!! Cotjbtiiouhe, O., October 10. Although Jasper. Dolby (colored) pleaded guilty to outraging Mrs. Mary 0. Boyd In order to be rushed off to the penitentiary (or protection, be did not start in advance of the indignant mob. People were swarming into the town all day.' The Sheriff could not go from the jail to the depot after the prisoner had been sentenced. A little after 6 o'clock the first rush was made on the court house. A crowd of determined men at tempted to break in the south door, while another part; charged on the mi litia at the north door. Some one threw a stone at Colonel Coit, and he cried out that at the next stone thrown he would order the men to fire. The crowd at the door was unable to effect an entrance. The courtyard by this time was filled with people, and cries of " Give us the nigger" ana curses against the militia filled the air. The crowd grew in size every minute. Before the firing Colonel Coit made a speech, asking the crowd to disperse, but it was received with jeers. The prisoner was prostrated from fear, and lay crying and moaning. Up to this time Dolby and his guards had been kept prisoners in the courtyard by the mob, who now made an attack. The militia replied to them without firinu at first: but another onslaught was made, and the south door was lorcea open, inis aoor opens upon the street, which was filled with men, women and children. The detachment of the guard finally fired on the attack ing party. None of the latter were hurt, but a dozen or more persons in the street were struck. Two were killed outright, and four more were fatally wounded, one of whom has since died. Following is a list of the killed and wounded : Killed Smith' Welsh, aged 18, son of a prominent grocer, shot through the head ; Jesse Juddy, aged 25, a mechanic, shot through the heart ; ti. W. Johnson, shot through the stomach. Wounded William Sauer, aged 35, a mechanic, shot through the abdomen, will die; Theodore Ackerson, aged 22, artisan, shot in the right thigh; Dan Parrott, aged 30, a farmer, cousin of the outraged woman, shot in the right foot; Frank Niederhaus, aged 65, shot in the leg, will die; John Korn, badly shot in the foot ; Ernest Ellis, thumb shot off ; Frank Smith, injuries unknown; John Mcllugh, shot in the foot, will probably die. It is believed many others were wound ed, and a diligent search is in progress to find them. UDon the firing the mob dispersed In all directions, but soon gathered again. Immediately all the places of business in the city were shut up. Mayor Creamer peremptorily closed all places where liq uor is sold. Every street was filled with peorjle. No time was lost in carrying away the dead and wounded. Business houses ana the engine-nouse were con verted into hospitals. All the surgeons in the city were called into service. Mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts crowded around the dead and wounded, and added fire to the rage of the mob by their lamentations. The feeline against the military is bit ter, vicious and vehement. It pervades all clarseB. As time passed the mob grew in sine and fury. All over the country by telephone, courier and tele graph wire the news was spreau. ah the roads leading to me city were niiea with men on horseback, in wagons and on foot, hurrying with all speed to the n 5.1..J Ti i.;i u'..k. ICeilQ Ol UlUUMBUeu. iucminuitgiu . coit- ington Courthouse a search was going on for arms, ammunition and dynamite. Shouts were heard: " Down with the military I" "Blow op the dogs with the black fiend 1" These shouts but feebly expressed the pent-up passion of everybody, tor every bodv was in the street, and all were members of the mob as far as personal feeling was concerned. Men moved about as if bent on business, but said nothing. There is no doubt of a purpose to blow up the courthouse. Ol this the military are aware. A fun moon lights up every approach to the courthouse. If military reinlorcementb ao not reacn nere ueiore the moon goes down, there is danger of further and greater bloodshed between an organized armed mob and the militia, and in case the mob succeeds there is danger that many of the militiamen will share Dolby's late. Additional troops have been ordered from Cincinnati, Co lumbus. Chillicothe and other points. Dolby's crime was committed one week ago at I'arrott's station. Mrs. Mary U Uoyd, aged oo, was his victim, lie was brought into court at 4 o'clock this after noon, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twentv vears in the penitentiary. An angry mob gathered about the jail yard yesterday afternoon after Dolby had been identified by his victim, and Sheriff Cook called to his assistance the local militia company. This action increased the fury against iMiby, ana uovernor Aictuniey was appealed to for additional assistance and troops from Columbus were sent here this morning. Colonel C'oit was in com mand. The mob surrounded the jail and courthouse and attempted to take Dolby from the officers when he was removed from the iail to the courthouse for trial but they were kept at bay by the use of bavonets and clubbed suns. llenry Kirk, a brother-in-law of the assaulted woman, was thrown down the steps of the courthouse and badly bruised. Another was bayoneted through the finger, while a bayonet was thrust through the clothing of another. . Depu ties guarded their prisoner in the court room. Dolby cried like a baby, and kept looking around for help. Soldiers were marched in to keep the crowd quiet. After the sentence the prisoner was taken to the grand jury room. A mob gathered about the courthouse, and the officers were powerless to take him from the courthouse, either to the jail or to the train, and Sheriff Cook wired the Gov ernor to send more troops. At midnight the courthouse yard was cleared, but the angry mob remained in the square still ottering threats. WOMAW IX POLITICS. A Large Beglstratlon Becorded la the City of Chicago. Chicago, October 19. "Pshaw; it's simple enough. We were treated as Queens. The men were awfully nice verywhere." - This was the verdict of nearly all of the; courageous thousands of women who registered at the various booths in Chicago yesterday. For the first time they will vote in November for the trustees of the university under the new State law. Each party has a woman candidate Mrs. Lucy Flower, the Republican, and Dr. Juliet Holmes Smith, the Democratic. The women turned out in great numbers. They went to the engine-houses, cigar stores, hotels, billiard parlors, shoe stores, clothing stores, livery offices and 'bams, but the universal report was that the men were nice." Jliey ceased smoking when the women entered the places. They also removed their hats, something they probably had not done before on regis tration day within their memory. In nearly all cases the women were ushered politely to the head of the line, and at one booth they received a rose in com pliment of their maiden vote. of the wealthy and fashionable districts of the North and South Sides, the regis tration lists showed the names of the most prominent women in Chicago. The same is true of the other wards of the city, where the women are well-to-do, educated and thoughtful. In Evanston there was much interest and a compara tively large registration, and so far as the women voting in Cook county is con cerned they represent the best class. The returns show that the disreputable wom en took no interest in the registering. In the worst precincts of the First Ward only one or two names of women were . i ..I . . i i registered, una mat was not irom cnoice so much as from persuasion by male companions. This relieves the situation of a sincere dread. It was argued last week that the disreputable people would nock together and overcome the votes ot the members of good society. Another noteworthy thing is the en thusiasm of the colored sisters. In the West Side of the Second Ward, where the colored vote is moBt numerous, the women registered freely. There are sev eral ways of accounting for this, but the best one perhaps is that the colored male voter seldom fails to turn up on1 registration days. The records show that in comparison the colored people vote more nearly to the limit of their population than anv other class. The enthusiasm of the male voter has been apparently communicated to the women loik. The social prominence of many of the women who registered may not be rec ognized, since they were obliged to dis card the Christian names of their hus bands. This was something they had not counted upon and almost invariably they had to be requested to give their own Christian names, several women of nearly 80 were in line to-day. Said one of them : "All things come to those that wait Harriett Hosmer, the sculptress, went to the registration booth at No. 249 Goethe street soon after it was open, and was pleased at the courtesy shown by the officials. CENTRAL PACIFIC DEBT. English Stockholders to Send a Repre sentative to This Country. Nw Yobk, October 19. President C, P. Huntington of the Central Pacific Railway Company on being interviewed on the action of the meeting in London, which appointed a committee to protect the interests of English stockholders of the company, said : " There are a good many shareholders in Europe, and they have been making many inquiries as to what is to be done with the first mortgage and the claim of the government, a small portion oi wnicn comes due in 1895. I suggested to them that they had better send a committee or some one over to represent the r.u ropean shareholders. I understand they have appointed Sir Rivers Wilson for that purpose. He is a gentleman I do not know personally, but I understand he is a very able man, who win thorough lv comprehend what is for the best in terests ot Hhe company, and will assist materially in making terms with the government and in securing a new loan on the issue of a new sheet of coupons, secured bv the old first mortgage, which new securities will be sold either to the present stockholders or to others, the old bondholders having the preference, Tlits much has been under discussion and seems now to have assumed a deft nite shape." Not a Legitimate Business Concern Chicago, October 19. The Federal grand jury this afternoon reported true bill against ex-Governor Beveridge President ; J. F. Arnold, Vice-President, and Samuel Biddison, Secretary of the State Mutual Life Insurance Company, It charges the defendants with using the mails to further the business of a lot tery. It is alleged the concern is in its essence a lottery. TRIUMPHANT JAPS They Capture Port Arthur, the Chinese Stronghold. AN IMPORTANT NAVAL POINT The Two Opposing Forces Still Continue . to Fsee Each Other on the Banks of the Talu Rler Emperor's Father-ln-Law Takee the Chief Command. Shanghai, October 18. A report is In circulation here that Port Arthur has been captured by the Japanese. This port is one of the most important of the Chinese strongholds, and was the place of refuge of the Chinese fleet after the battle of the Yalu river, the disabled ships having been repaired and refitted there. It commands the entrance to the Gulf of Pe Chi Li on the north. THK EMPEEOE'S PATHEB-IR-LAW. Nw York, October 18. A special from Shanghai savs : Fifteen thousand troops under Field Marshal Oyama are encamped across Regent's Sword Prom ontory to the north of Port Arthur and within sight of that naval stronghold. They are waiting for a favorable moment to move forward, while outside of the port the Japanese cruisers are ready to niercepc an retreat southward, bung Kwei, the Emperor's father-in-law. has reached Shan Hai Kwan. the place on the unit of Laan lung where the high road from the coast to Peking begins, lie takes the chief command, and will try to prevent the landing of a force of the enemy at that port, which possesses great strategic prominence. STILL FACING KACH OTHKB. Losdok, October 18. A dispatch to the Central News from Wiiu. dated Mon day, says: The two opposing armies still face each other on the banks of the Yalu river. The Chinese have not fired a shot, but are night and day strength ening their defenses. Count Yamagata, the Japanese commander-in-chief, is awaiting the arrival of heavier artillery before attacking the Chinese position. anese scouts estimate that the Chi nese force altogether numbers 35,000 men. The scouts have' brought detailed information as to the condition of the Chinese defenses, showing that they are not so strong as first reports indicated. The Chinese artillery is shown to be less lorraidabie than the Japanese had sup posed. A decisive attack is expected soon, various indications lustily the belief that the chief stand of the Chi nese will be at Kubenchao. . DID NOT CABB TO FIGHT. London. October 13. The Japanese legation has received advices to the ef fect that the Japanese transport steamer Ariaki Maru has arrived at Yokohama from Hong Kong. A Chinese gunboat left Hong Kong a few hours before the Ariaki Maru, but contrary to expecta tions made no attempt to engage the transport. - BOYCOTTING ILLEGAL. A Decision to That Effect by a Rhode Island Court. Pbovidknck, R. I., October 18. Judge Tillinghast of the Supreme Court to-day handed down a rescript of national im portance to trades people. The National Association of Master Plumbers has a branch in this State, which recently is sued circulars to tho wholesale dealers in plumbers' supplies warning them not to sell supplies to plumbers who were not members of the association. These circulars were particularly aimed at Ma cauley Bros, of this city. This firm un dertook to purchase supplies in the open market, but was in some instances re fused, thus being put to considerable inconvenience. The firm applied to the Supreme Court for an injunction to re strain the association from interfering with its business. 11. J. iurney, the Secretary of the Master Plumbers' As sociation of Providence, was made the respondent. The court says that un doubtedly the members of the associa tion have the right to purchase their supplies where they please and to com bine and agree that they will not patron ize wholesalers who sell to non-members of their own association, yet they have no right by threats to coerce wholesalers not to sell to non-members of that as sociation. The defendant association was using unlawful means to compel the plaintiff to join the association, and the association was wrongfully interfering with the business of the plaintins. An injunction was ordered to issue against the association. Southern Pacific Reducing Expenses. San Fbancisco, October 18. It is re- ported that G. W. Luce, local general freight agent of the Union Pacific, will November 1 succeed A. D. Shepard as assistant general freight agent of the Southern Pacific. Rumors of other changes in the Southern Pacific offices are current. It is stated that since the rvoliev of retrenchment went into pfftwt 400 clerks have been dismissed, and that more dismissals are to follow. One of the rumors is that the land departments of the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific are to be consolidated, and that they will be in charge of William H. Mills, at present head of the Central Pacific land department. Cheap Whisky Coming. Pbobia, 111., October 18. The Whisky Trust to-day reduced prices on alcohol 2 cents per gallon, equivalent to 4 cents per wine gallon. This is regarded as the beginning of a war in prices between the trust and competitors which will eclipse any previous war, and that goods will be sold regardless of cost to manufacture. GENERAL MILES' REPORT. Bow the Troops Acted In Critical Period. Washington, October 18. The annual report of Major-General Miles, com manding the department of the Missouri, has been received, showing the condi tion of affairs in that department in a remarkably short document, considering the stormy period of internal strife cov ered by it But notwithstanding its brevity it contains some very terse and significant statements relative to the strike. On this point it says after re citing the work the military was required to do: "All of these difficult duties have been performed in a manner which shows good judgment and discretion on the part of officers and a good state of discipline and faithful service on the part of the troops, and it is believed that but for their prompt intervention much blood shed would have resulted. " The conduct of the troops in restor ing order and confidence where mob violence and a reign of terror existed in Chicago was marked by great forbear ance, fortitude and discipline, and their presence and action have verygreatly con tributed to the maintenance of civil laws, and in my opinion saved the country from serious rebellion in a State where one had been publicly declared to exist by one most responsible for its exist ence." NATURALIZED AMERICAN. His Death In a Russian Prison Recalls a . Diplomatic Controversy. Washington, October 18. A dispatch received at the State Department yester day from Consul-General Jones an nounced the death of Stanislaus Krzmin iski, a naturalized American citizen, in a Russian prison at Warsaw October 14. This death terminates a diplomatic inci dent which marked a new phase in the diplomatic relations of the United States and Russia, in which Secretary Gresham is understood to have impressed upon the government of the Czar the advan tages of our statute of limitations, which is unknown in Russian law. Krzmin ieki had lived in America since 1809, and had become naturalized. He returned to Russia and vu arrested for a political crime, that of participating in a Polish revolution thirty years ago. Upon the prompt demand of this government he was released ' on this charge, but im mediately rearrested for alleged embez zlement committed while he was a po lice official just before he came to Amer ica, and he was awaiting trial on this charge when he died. The United States was powerless to intervene for his re lease on this charge, and was confined to an effort to secure a prompt trial. SATOLLI AMD THE A. P. A. He Believes That the Movement Will be . Short-LUed. Montbbal, October 18. Monsignore Satolli, who arrived here yesterday, said in an interview : " I have no official mis sion here. My jurisdiction is confined to the United States, and I have quite enough to do as it is. Even now I have business waiting on me in Washington. Quebec is well known throughout the Catholic world for the devotion of the people to the Holy See and to the Church. But you have other provinces, where the Protestant element predominates. You have the province ot Ontario, which has taken up the idea of the American Pro tective Association to a large extent. 1 do not think that the association which so ostracizes the Catholics from every position of profit and honor constitutes a permanent or a serious danger. Like the Know-Nothing movement it is founded on ignorance and prejudice, which will be dispelled, and they will pass away, lhey will have a beneficial effect in this way that they will make Catholics more zealous for the defense and propagation of their faith ; but such movements also indicate the necessity on our part of being prudent and moder ate and the danger to all which appeals to sectarianism may cause in a mixed country like America." TO SITE FOB MILLIONS. Judge Jenkins Petitioned to So Instruct the Receivers. Milwaukee, October 18. It has de veloped in the proceedings of the United States Court that the Northern Pacific Company through Brayton Ives has made good its threat and petitioned Judge Jenkins to instruct the receivers to bring suits against Henry Villard, Colgate Hovt and Charles L. Colby to recover nearly (2,600,000 alleged to have been made unlawfully through Northern Pacific deals. The petition refers to the report of Master Carey, and charges Hoyt and Colby were associated with Villard in the alleged illegal deals. Be sides $095,191 alleged to have been made out of the Northern Pari tie and Mani toba deal, $224,800 is alleged to have been made out of transactions in the Oregon and Transcontinental Company in connection with the Chicago Termi nal deal; about $400,000 is alleged to have been made out of the Chicago, Harlem and Batavia, and $670,000 from the purchase of Bridgeport and Seuth Chicago property ; from the bond distri bution of the Oregon and Transconti nental defendants are said to have made $40,900 and from the sale of the Chicago and Northern Pacific bonds by the same company $l,0ti0,000. Still another bond sale is alleged to have netted $126,600. Further Signs of Improvement. " Baltimobk, October 19. The agree ment reached yesterday between the Pennsylvania and Maryland Steel Com panies' directors will, it is announced, result in the early reopening of the Maryland Company's big mill at Spar row Point. The works, which employ 3.000 men, have been virtually closed for (eight months.
