EXCITEMENT INTENSE. Citizens of Ukbana Killed and Wounded by Guards mux Trying to Protect a Colored Man who Had As saulted one ok the Most Estimable Women in the City-An All-Night Strug gle. At Urbana, Ohio, Charles Mitchell, colored, who recently made a criminal assault upon Mrs. T. M. G. Gaumer, and had been sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, was taken from the jail at 7:20 o'clock Friday morning by a mob and hanged to the nearest tree. The jail had been defended through the night by the local militia company, who fired on the mob at 2:30 o'clock a. m., killing two men and wound ihg eight others. Just before the shooting oc curred a crowd of a thousand people stood congregated around the jail. It seemed certain that an attempt would be made to take Mitchell from the jail and hang him. -The crowd was more boisterous than at any time since the prisoner had been confined. There were shouts and howls for the culprit. The mob had crowded into the jail yard and was pushing toward the jail. Captain George W. Leonard, iu command of the militia, ad dressed the crowd and gave them three minutes to disperse. There was a general rush from the jail yard, but the crowd soon returned. When the shooting occurred an attempt was being made by the mob to enter the jail from the, rear. The militia were in the hall on the second floor and standing at the window. A man named Baker, of West Liberty, and another man had sledge hammers in their hands and had broken the glass in the door leading to the hall from which the jail is entered. Suddenly the militia opened fire without warning and Baker fell back, crying, "I am shot." Volley after volley was fired un til as many as twenty rounds had been discharged into the crowd. There was a general )anic, and the dead and wound ed were carried in every direc tion iu searce of doctors' offices. After the smoke had cleared away and the victims had been identified, the fatilities were as follows: Killed Harvey Bell, shot through the head; Upton Baker, shot through the body. Wound ed Dr. Charles Thompson, North Lewisburg, shot in the head; West Bo wen, of Cable, shot iu the hip; Ray Dickerson, shot iu the shoulder; Dennis Graiiey, shot in the leg below the knee; Zack Wank, shot in the arm; Sherman S. Deatou, shot in the hip; Ray McClure shot iu the arm; Ralph McConib, shot iu the arm. The Springfield troops ar rived as reinforcements at 7:10, and immediately marched to ward the Court House. Angry citlzeus who were incensed over the killing of their fellow-towns men by the local militia at 2:30 a. 111., were only further irritated by the appearance of more troops. Crowds gathered on the streets and greeted the soldiers, who are colored liieu, with hootings and all sorts of insulting re marks. Next n.ud balls were thrown at them. The fever of excitement raged more and more fiercely. Women appeared on the streets in large numbers, and their presence seemed to be an incentive to the mob to avenge in some manner the outrage to Mrs. Gaumer. In the jail yard the Springfield men, who numbered thirty-six. and were under Captain Brad bury, found 2000 people. Mayor Ganson assured the militia that their services were not wanted; that the people were law abiding and would assist him in preser ving order; that the company could leave the court house yard, and when their services were needed he would send for them. The Springfield company, with out wailing lor further orders, marched down the street to the depot without so much as the Sherifl seeing them. The local military com pa u y had previously refused to serve longer, and went to the second stoiy of the Sheriff s residence to attempt to sleep. With no resistance offered, the crowd at once made a rush for the side door. Two strong and determined men kicked it down in short order and gained admission to the jail, the crowd following. There were plenty of sledge hammers, chisels and other tools among the crowd and the men went to work. Part of the crowd had pre viously forced themselves ups stairs into the private apart ments of the sheriff, and found the keys to the jail, which had been hidden. The crowd did not wait to unlock the door to Mitchell's cell, but burst" the lock with a sledge hammer, and the door soon f ew open. Mitchell was standing in his cell. He offered no resistance, and did not utter a word. Some one iu the crowd had a rope. It was placed over the neck of the victim and the crowd made for the door, Mitchell following at the end. In going down the steps 011 the outside of the jail Mitchell fell down and the rope slipped off his neck. The crowd sur-. rounded him, and he was kicked, beaten and almost killed. The rope was quickly slipped over his head again, and a rush was made for a tree in the south western corner of-the yard, in trout of the Court House. The end was thrown over a strong limb, and willing hands pulled him up. The end was tied to the iron fence, and Mitchell was left hanging there in full view of several thousand people. Sheriff McLain and Captain Leonard left at the request of citizens, who feared they were in danger of violence. The crime for which Mitchell paid the penalty was a heinous on.. He criminally assaulted Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, widow of the publisher of the Urbana Democrat. He was arraigned, but his victim was too ill to ap pear iu court. The man was taken to her home for identifi cation. As he entered the door she r..ised herself on her elbow and exclaimed, "The brute! Hang him! How dare you face me, you brute?" That night the jail was surrounded by a threate ning mob that was held back by the Sheriff's posse and the local company of the Ohio National Guard. The Grand jury was impaneled next day and Mitch ell was indicted for criminal as sault. Then the crowd was thrown off the trail by bringing Mitchell into court in a sol dier's uniform. Mitchell was scared, pleading guilty, and was sentenced to the limit of twenty years. The trial lasted only a lew moments, and Mitchell wanted to get to the penitenti ary at Columbus quickly, but when, the carriage drove up to the jail the crowd n: ':ed in, trying to lynch him. Anoth r crowd surrounded the depot. The Sheriff remained fortified iu jail with his prisoner, while the militia patrolled the ground.

ON "The Mobs Who Attack Jaiis Should Be Shot Down," IIaU-r.;b News & Ob.-rver. The lyuchiiigs of the pist week have been a subject of much comment here. And it is a matter of pride that there has not been a lynching in North Carolina.in the past two years,! and very few in its whole his tory. Asked his views on the sub ject of Evenings and the way to prevent them, Gov. Russell yes terday said: 'The way to end lynch law is to remove the excuse for it. It is no justification to say, what is not denied, that in many cases the'victims deserve what they get. Barbarian brutes who com mit nameless crimes must be killed quick. But let it be done Under the'foims of law. Let there be none of the law's delay. Give the Executive the power to call a court instan ter. Order a judge by telegraph to the courts of the crime. Try the criminal; if pro per for an appeal convene the appellate court on shortest pos sible notce, send down the judgement and instantly perform its mandates. Scarcely a case of mob murder of a guilty culprit has occurred wherein he would not have been convicted by judge and jury. In most cases the lyuch iiigs have been attributable to a spirit of lawlessness. 'Mobs who attack jails," he added, "should be shot down. None of them are innocent. Lawless mobs must be made to know that this is a land of law."

THE BEST ADVICE, I am more and more convinced the longer I live, that the very best advice that was ever given from friend to friend is contain ed in tliese four words, "Mind your own business." The follow ing of-it would save many a heartache. Its observance would insure against every sort of wraneling. When we mind our own business we are sure of suc cess in what we undertake, and may count upon a glorious im munity of failure. -When the husbandman harvests a crop by hanging over the fence and watchiug his neighbor hoe weeds it will be time for you and me to achieve renown in any under taking iu which we do not ex clusively need to mind our own business. If I had a family of young folks to give advice to, my early, late and constant admoni tion would be, always and every where, to "Mind your own bus iness.' Thus should they woo harmony and peace and live to enjoy something like complete ness of life. A Wise Jan. Depression of Spirits so common in summer-time, accompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourish ment. The vital force is lost.

Loss of flesh and a cough are threat ening signs. of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypo phosphites, meets these cases perfectly. It tones up, fattens and strengthens.

Chemist, New York OF STORMY TERRORS OF HAT TERAS DESCRIBED. For Two Hundred Years and More Mariners Have Feared It-Hard to Put Danger Signal There. Cape Hatteras, N. C, Cor. Balti more Sun. This is the paiticular portion of North Carolina best known to the won:!. All mariners these two hundred years and more have known of its dangers. It is the graveyard of ships and it keeps the secret ot the grave. T. F. Smith, who for nineteen years has been the keeper of the light house, says that in the "Diamond Shoals," which are the dreaded laeture of the cape, a ship once caught is literally swallowed up. The largest tramp steamers dis appear in twentvfour hours. The secrets of Hatteras are many, but some are known. The shoals are the "inner and"outer diamond," and between these is a slough t or "lead," in which the water is 30 feet deep. But iu bad weather the water actually "breaks" in this depth. The water is always made additionalh heavy by the sand, aud this is made plain by the fact that when a wave breaks over a boat it al ways leaves a large deposit of sand. It is ten miles from the light house to the outer diamond, aud from the latter the Gulf stream is only eighteen miles away. It is the nearest point to the stream 011 the Atlantic coast. It is very often cloudy and stormy here, when at places quite near there is sunshine. Tho attempt to place a caisson on the outer diamond was a fail ure, and it seems that the trial was not a fair trial. The caisson was towed down, but there wTere not enough cement to fill it, nor were the other sections ready to bolt on and thus get it well above high water and weigthed with cement. The caisson was tipped over and disappeared. No trace of it remains. The "expers imeutal structure " as it is term-, ed, shared the same fate. The first storm inclined it, and theu over it went.- Now the problem is whether the proposed lightship will stand the terrible lashing of the seas. It is the opinion of the Hatteras people that the lightship will have to be placed in the lead where the steamers go, where the water is 30 feet in depth. They consider it very doubtful whether it will stay there. The absolute lailure of the skeleton beacon or experimental structure, seems to show that a lightship is the only resource. The sand is not quicksand, but it is all the while in motion. Hence the quick burial of ships. There is little or no wreckage on the beach save the remains of the ship Altona. The point of the cape is now "losing." The bea con light or "bug," as it is term ed, was built high on the beach. It is now in the surf at ordinary tides. The shoals do not reach out nearly so far as those at Cape Lookout, the next cape to the southward. One of the light-keepers says that within the "sound" is a cape which is a duplicate of Hatteras, with the double shoals known as the diamonds. There is a remarkable change iu the appearence of the beach at Hatteras. The beach above is practically treeless and very low, so low that the sea beaches it at many points. Below Hatte'r as there are heavy woods, large sand hills, and the beach Becomes two miles broad. It is quite a different world aud all in the space, one may say, of a few yards. The woods continue twelve miles, all the distance to Hatteras inlet. . The lighthouse, built in 1870, HARD SHIPS to replace the old one, which was badly cracked, is 200 feet high. Its light is often seen at Roanoke Island, 50 miles away. The old lighthouse was not torn down, but was blown up and has left a great pile of masonry two hundred yards near er the point ot the cape than the present light The view from the top of the lighthouse is a singular oue. With a glass no less than five life saving stations arc visible. There are fresh-water lakes quite near the light and in these gardens of soil reclaimed from the lake aud dyked. Fan palmettocs grow plentifully, and this is almost their northern limit. The Span ish bayonet, rising to a hight of S to 10 feet, is seen in all direct ions. The lighthouse rises from a large area of green grass. The appearance ot the place is for from iorbidding. Reflections of a Bachelor. When poverty comes in at the sky-light, love gets into the cyclone-cellar. Some men won't be happy in heaven because they couldn't sub-let their place on earth. When a man is angry, he keeps his lips together; when a woman is angry she shows her teeth. The average woman's idea of wifely affection is to have a cer tain hour in the day when she thinks of her husband. Heaven is a place where a man will always be just as hun gry when he begins his dessert as he was when he finished his soup. The fact that a man always dresses in black and never buys loud ties is no proof that he doesn't wear baby-blue under clothes and yellow garters. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country then all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market.
