' Defaulting County Officer Lynched, O'Neill, Neb., Jan.: 1 Barrett Scott defaulting treasurer, of Holt county to the extent of several thousand dollars, is supposed to have been hanged by vigilants, who then weighted the body, and threw it into the quicksands in ' the Niobrara river yesterday afternoon. Scott, pending examination, had been released on bail and yesterday took a drive, accompanied by his wife,, daugh ter and niece, Miss McWhorter, several miles east of here i a .the county. They had smarted to return home and had gone a short distance when a volley of sh jU was fired into their carnage.' from am bush by masked men. One of the bul lets pierced Scott's ear and scratched his temple. Another struck a steel in ; Miss alcwhorters corset then" glanced off in flicting a flesh wound and lodging in her clothing.

This is the last seen of Sott, and it is supposed that he was ' treated the same as James Hill and his son a short time ago hanged and thrown into the river. Mrs, Scott, her daughter and. Miss McWhorter returned to this city about 1 o'clock this morning and when the de tails of the affair became generally known friends organised a posse and started in pursuit of the mob. A Statement From Chairman Lnxow. Albany, Jan. L Senator Lexow, as chairman of the New York city police investigation committee, in referring to Dr. Parkhurst's public criticisms on the work ipf the committee said he had no answer to make to Dr. Parkhurc-t's mani festo, stating that he though the work of the committee was eurhcient answer. He gave out the following sighed pstate- ment: ; : ''It is strange indeed that when the crucial point was reached and Byrnes was on the stand as everbody Knew he would be last Saturday, nothing was suggested that was ; not - done; and yet laiscriiiuiam. .. v f'Mr, Moss throughout the entire ex amination stood at Mr. Goff 's side and. co-operated in the conduct of the in juiryr Obviously it is unnecessary to add any thing to this. " " "I have too high a regard for Dr. Parkhurst to believe that he is actuated by any but the highest and purest mo tives in what he says or does. As to a deal.' it i3 plain that one could not be effectual unless through the co-operation of a majority of he committee acting in conjunction with all tb,e counsel. The statement of this proposition is the best refutation of the charge.." Let any onej suggest a question that was not put, a charge that was not raaae, an inuiyiuiunL that was not brought anything in short that wa3 omitted be fore thev criticise. In my mind, the meat of the statement H to ba found in the declaration that the Senate committee has not unepvered ajl corruption that exisits in the police and there still remains more ror $ne society for the Pi even .ion of Crime to do. I wish them God speed in the good work. Signed.) CLARENCE ljExqw." Mr. Lexow said his" committee would meet some day this week, probably to morrow.

A lievlew of the Tear Just Closed : Comparison pf .Statistic for the'' Years 1880 and 1804 I , Wonderful Progress in that Time. Baltimore, Jan. 1. In its annual re view of Southern conditions, the Jltrinu fdcturerf 'Record says: The industrial situation in the South during the past year j was characterized by at steady re-establishment of confi dence and a slow, but solid, up building of manufacturing interests.. Prevailing conditions during the year have not en- courf ged unusual development, and the general tendency has been to follow a conservative policy. The year carried over as a legacy many of the adyerse conditions which were features of the previous year. Legislative "problems of national moment hung in uncertainty during the greater portion vof the year. The panicky feeling'of the two. previous years occasionally made its influence felt and the attitude of foreign investors to wards American securities continued an a depressing factor, a Capitalists have been slow to' foster new enterprises. The investor became an investigator during" the year, and well planned industries benefitted thereby. : Enduring good results to the South from this movement and its signi ficance are already shown by a wider and more personal acquaintance of the in vestigating public with its resources. The record of progress made during the year evidences a well-defined pref erence for; Southern investments and reflects a more general existence of fa vorable impressions that, with the full restoration of confidence in the business world, will influence a considerable tide of capital towards Southern channels; and as the aspects of things for the new year are more cheerful than those ush- ered in in 1894, it is perfectly reasonable to look for greater prosperity and greater progress in 1895i The faith-of Southern men in the future of this section gains new emphasis from a study of the con trolling part their capital and enterprise playetl in the advancement made during 1894.; - j V ' Nearly 600 more enterprises were es tablished in the South during 1894 than the preceding year, numbering 2,829,' as against 2.293 for 1893. Comparing the year just closed with 1880, the statistics gathered by the Manufacturers' Record show the follow ing increases: Rilro,ad mileage, from 20,612 miles in 1880 to 46,900 in 1894? ah-, nual yield of cotton, 5,755,000 bales to 9,500,000; annual yield of grain. 431,000, 000 bushels to 6!0,000,000; coal mined annually, 6,049,000 tons to 30.000,00 0; annual pig iron production, 397,301 tons to 1,560,000; number of cotton -mills in operation, 161, to 470: number of spindles. 667.000 to 3,000,000! number of looms, 14,323, to 68.000; capital invested iu cotton mills, $21,038,712 to $107,900, 000; number of cotton oil mills 40 to 300: capital invested in same 3,504,000 to $30,000,000; lumber, dreseed, value of products, $46,938,100 to . $114,746,674; capital invested, $26,092,644 to $92,604, 375; farm assets, $3,314,000,000 to 13.182, 000,01)0; value of farm product, $666 000,000 to $850,000,000; capital invested in manufacturing, $257,244,560 to $800.
