Enraged at the tardiness of the courts, a mob broke Into the Flemingsburg Jail this morning and hanged William Thacker, a white man who had been given a life sentence for the murder of John Gor don, two years . ago. Thacker, in a quarrel ifrjith Gordon at Foxport, shot and killed "him, ' and then sat on the body, Winchester in hand, while ihe smoked his ; piper and dared any one to attempt to arrest him.. At the, time Thacker escaped, but was later ar rested and lodged in Jail at Flemings burg. - He was given two trials and fipally got a life sentence. Gordon was a good citizen and an inoffensive man. "" ' I After being Sentenced . Thacker ap pealed to the' court of appeals, and was waiting for another trial. He had some money and was able, to command the support of influential men, and it was feared that he might escape pun ishment altogether. (The mob collected at Mount Carmel, where Gordon lived, .and came into Flemingsburg by twos and threes in order not to arouse suspicion. They advanced upon the' Jail shortly after midnight, i The Jailer refused to sur render the keys. He was overpowered and the keys were taken from him. Thacker was hurried to a tree near the Jail and was given time in which to say his prayers, which he refused several weeks, tracked. . The misunderstanding as to the length of the special ; session arose from the supposition that the Congress would meet in regular session this year. The Congress mefts only once every two years. It will, therefore - not as semble to consider general legislation until July 20, 1904. The present special session, begun June 20, can be contin ued until the date of the regular ses sion next year if President Marroquin so desires. Dr. Herran, who Is favorable to the treaty, is very much encouraged over the outlook. The supposition was that m. v 111 A. 4.1 .a.

Dr. Herran has raceived advices from American: friends in Colombia that the outlook for the ratification of the treaty is very encouraging. . The visit here of Senor Valez, a mem ber of- the Colombian congress is also expected to help the treaty. Senor Va lez was sent here from Bolivar, from which district he was elected togetheV with six members, to ascertain Dr. Herran's reasons, for holding that the treaty would prove of great benefit to Colombia. It is believed that his optn- i - . - . - - a ions, ;wnicn are , regaraea as oppuseu to ' ratification, have undergone a .change,, and his report -to his fellow members from Bolivar may, and pro babiy will, have a marked effect on their attitude Senor Valez is a broth er of General Valez, one of the leaders of the opposition to the treaty. His views a're likely to have a bearing upon the latter's course. Additional advices received confirm the statements printed in the Sun sev eral weeks ago that if the canal treaty should be rejected the isthmian states of Panama and Cauca will probably re volt and, establishing an independent republic, ratify the agreement. : One report that those concerned in the movement have even gone so far in their plans as to select provisional of ficers of the proposed new government.
