TWO KILLED AND HALF A DOZEN INJURED. The Frenzied Hnh ti ru " " ..was Vliai l.U Through thp Mm; i, m i ., iuuiviiic iicru From His Cell and Lynched Him. By Telegraph to The News. Urbana, Ohio, June 4. The mob which gathered here last night about the jail to lynch Click Mitchell, the negro indicted yester day for assaulting a white woman, became so threatening early this morning that the militiamen who were serving as a guard at the jail were ordered to fire into it. As a result, Harry Bell and a man named Higgins, who is unknown here, were killed, and Dr. Charles Thompson, West Boncen, Roy Dick erson, Ennis Graney, Zack Wank, Sherman Deaton, and Ray McClure were seriously wounded. The mob were frenzied by the fatal attack of the militia. . They charged the jail, swept the militia aside and broke down the jail doors. Some determined spirits rushed down the jail hall to Mitchell's cell, and took him out. He was then lynched. Mitchell's victim was Mrs. F M. Gaunser, owner of a local newspa per. There were fifteen hundred persons in the mob. The mob emp tied a shower of bullets into the lifeless body of Mitchell, and then all the members of the attacking party returned to the jail to look after the- dead and wounded who had fallen under the fire of the prison's protectors. Urbana, Ohio, June 5. The city is quiet today. The mob at last dis persed, simply because there was no more material to work on. The en tire Urbaria military company fled, through tin- assistance of friends who Itt t Li: in have citizens' clothes, and kf t the jail, one by one. Mayor Ganzer has publicly de clared that, while he cannot uphold mob violence, he is satisfied with the work of the citizens. He says Mitchell ought to have been hanged wo days ago. HUMAN NATURE THE SAME. Little Rock, Ark., June 5 Governor Jones, commenting upon the Ohio lynching, says it is but another evidence of human nature which is the same in the North as it is in the South. When a negro-attacks a white woman the people cannot be restrained, he says, and the sooner the negro recognizes this, the better. ALL SECTIONS ALIKE. Montgomery, Ala., June 5. Governor Johnston says all sections are alike in their abhorrence of this most detestable crime, and it is al most impossible" to prevent summary justice, as in the case at Urbana, Ohio. He thinks it was the duty of the officers to protect prisoners, but is unable to state whether necessity existed for firing into the crowd. m ' ' TUG BLOWN TO PIECES.

A Presented by the Charlotte News GALHODN RETURNS. HIS MISSION TO CUBA HARDLY A SUCCESS. Satisfied That Dr. Ruiz Met a Violent Death No Change in Spain's Atti tude Towards Cuba. By Telegraph to The New. New York, June 7. Special Commissioner W. J. Calhoun, who was sent to Cuba to investigate the death of Dr. Ruiz, arrived here this morning. His mission in the mat ter was a failure as far as securing proper testimony was concerned. Im portant witnesses were not produced, and those examined dared not tell the truth, having been coaehed in their testimony- Fonsdeviele, under whose orders Ruiz was murdered, did notappear,his whereabouts being unknown to the commission. Ruiz's cell was suspiciously cleaned when the commission arrived. The at tendants were laughably polite to the unfortunate prisoners. Mr. Calhoun is satisfied Dr. Ruiz met a violent death. He says no end of the war is in sight, though Span iards tried to make the imprsssion that it was over. The Cubans ex pressed great confidence and deter mination to carry the fight to the end. He visited a number of Amer ican prisoners and found all well treated. Verv few native Americans are in actual want. NO CHANGE IN THE CUBAN POLICY. Washington, June 7. The news that the Queen Regent has decided to retain Castillo del Canovas as Prime Minister, created no sur prise; that he assumes the power without a change in the cabinet was unexpected. Captain General Weyler will remain in Cuba. There will be no change in the policy of Spain toward Cuba, unless Caoovas anticipates a slight. change of policy. Certainly fresh troubles are ahead that my assume highly daugerous proportions. If he proposes to adhere to his former line of conduct the situation in Cuba will continue to drag along in the same uncompro mising way. Negotiations for peace are almost out of the question from the stand point of the rebellion. The dfcision of the Queen ' Regent will be in its favor so far as its effects on the United States are concerned. THEIR ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Woman's Missionary Societies to Meet in King's Mountain.

Mr. Evans is very much opposed to Senator McLaurin's tariff views. He is not a believer in protection, but states that he had rather follow in the footsteps of that great South Carolinian, John C. Calhoun, than to be taught by these latter day politicians. He believes that a sys tem of free trade would be the means of forcing the cotton milling industry of the North to locate their mills within the borders of the. cot ton producing States. This he thinks is the best means of getting Northern mill capital down this way. "What about the college fracas at Columbia," asked a reporter. "It was, an unfortunate affair, but I don't thinkj much , bad blood or feeling has been engendered. Ic was just such an occurrence as might have taken place anywhere among school boys, and I think they were to blame for the entire affair." Mr. Evans will be away for sev eral day 3.
