I In the CityAn All-Nlght Stroggle.
Cbbama, Ohio (Special). Charles Mitch
ell, ooloroil, who recently made a criminal
assault upon lira. T. M. O. Gaumer, and
liad peea sentenced to tuenty years' Im
prisonment, was taken from the jail at 7.20
o'olook Friday morning by mob and
. banged to the nearest tree. The jail bad
been defonded through the night by the
local militia company, who fired on the
mob at 2.30 o'olook a. m., killing two men
and, wounding eight others,
f Just before the shooting oocurred 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 tnan"at any time since
the prisonsr had been confined. There were
shouts and howls for the culprit. The mob
bad erowdad into the Jail yard and was
pushing toward the jail.
v "Captain Ueorge W. Leonard, In oommand
of the militia, addressed 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 oocurred an attempt
' was being made by the mob to enter the
jail from the rear.- The militia were in the
nail on the second floor and standing at
the Iwindow. A man named Baker, of
Went Liberty, and another man. bad sledge
hammers In their bands and had broken
the glass in the door leading to the hall
from which the jail Is entered.
Huddenlv the militia opened Are without
warning and Baker fell baok, crying, "I
am shot." Volley after vollay was fired,
until as many as twenty rounds had been
discharged Into the crowd. There was a
general panic, and the dead and wounded
were carried In every direction in search of
doctors' offices. After the smoke had
cleared away and the victims had been
Identified, the fatalities were found to be
as follows:
.Killed Harvey Boll, shot through the
head; Upton Baker, shot through the
body. Wounded Pr. Charles Thompson,
North Lewisburg, shot In the bead; West
Bowen, of Cable, shot in the hip; Hay
Diokerson, shot In the shoulder; Dennis
Oranev, shot in the leg below the knee;
Zack Wank, shot In the arm; Sherman B.
Deaton, shot In the hip; Bay MoClure, shot
In the arm; Ralph MoComb, shot in the
arm.
The Springfield troops arrived as rein
forcements at 7.10, and immediately
marched toward the Court House. An
gry citizens who were Incensed over thek
killing of their fellow-townsmen by the
local militia at S.80 a, m., were only further
Irritated by the appearance of more troops.
Crowds gathered on the streets and
greeted the soldiers, who are oolored men,
with hootings and all sorts of insulting
remarks.' Next mud 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 nnder Cap
tain Bradbury, found 2000 people. Mayor
Ganson assured the militia that their ser
vices were not wanted; that the people
were law-abiding and would assist him In
fireserving order; that the company could
i;ave the court house yard, and when their
servioes were needed he would send for
them. The Springfield company, without
waiting for further orders, marched down
street to the depot without so much as the
Bheriff seeing them.
The lonal military oompany had previ
ously refused to serve longer, and went to
the second story of the Bheriff's resldeuoe
to attempt to sleep.
With no resistance offered, the orowd 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
(ail, 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 previously foroed
themselves upstairs 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 buret the lock with a sledge ham
mer, and the door soon flew open.
Mitchell was standing in his cell. He of- '
fored no resistance, and did not utter a
word. Home one in 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 on the outside of
the jail Mitchell fell down and the rope
slipped off his neck. The crowd surrounded
him, and he was kicked, beaten andjalmost
killed. The rope was quickly slipped over
his head again, and a rush was made for a
tree in the southwestern corner of the
yard. In front of the Court House. The end
was thrown over a strong limb, and will
ing hands pullod him up. The end was tied
to the iron fence, and Mitchell Jwaa 1 ft
hanging there In full view of several thou
sand people.
: The crime for whioh Mitchell paid the
penalty was a heinous one. He criminally
assaulted Mrs. ElUa Gaumer, widow of that
publisher of the Urbana Democrat. He1
was arraigned, but his victim was too ill to '
appear In court. The man was taken to her
home for identification. As he entered the
door she raised herself on her elbow and
exclaimed, "The brute! Hang blml How
dare you face me, you brute?" That night
the jail was surrounded by a threat
ening mob that was held - back by
the Sheriff's posse and the local
company of the Ohio National Guard.
The .Giitnd Jury was Impaneled next
day and Mitchell was indicted tor criminal'
assault. Then the crowd was thrown cl
the trail by bringing Mitchell into court in,
a soldier's uniform, Mitchell was scared,''
pleading guilty, and was sentenced to the
limit of twenty years. The trial lasted!
only a few moments, and Mitchell wanted
to get to the penitentiary at Columbus',
quickly, but when the carriage drove up to
the jail the crowd rushed In, trying tol
lvnoh him. Another orowd surrounded the.'
depot. The Bheriff remained fortified in I
jail with his prisoner, while the militia 1
- patrolled the ground. .

SPANISH CABINET FALLS.
Prime Minister Canovas and Colleagues
Have Resigned.
CUBAN FAILURE THE CAUSE.
Grave Situation Created Nominally by
Tetaan's Box on Comas's Ear, But Real
ly by the Failure to Settle the Cubeo
Question Wheels of the Oorernmenfc
Blocked by the Attitude of the Liberals.
Maisji, Spain (By Cable). The Spanish
Premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, has
offered to the Queen Regent the resignation
of theCobinet. This step has been taken ow
ing to the difficulty the MinlHters experi
enced in carrying-on the Government, in
Tiew of the Parliamentary situation caused
by the refusal of the Liberals to take part
In the deliberations of the Cortes,
The attitude of the Liberals Is due to the
personal enoountor between the Duke 0'
Tetuan, the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
and Professor Comas, a Liberal Senator, on
May 21, when the Duke slapped the face of
the Senator after a heated debate on the
Morgan belligerency resolution adopted by
tha United States Senate.
SEMOB CAKOVAS DEL CASTILLO,
The real reason of the fall of the Cabinet
was the failure of the Canovas Government
to settle tha Cuban difficulty. Responsi
bility for the safe conduct of the Govern
ment now falls upon the Queen Regent,
whose dilemma is distressing. Like the
majority of her subjects, the Queen fully
comprehends that any change In policy and
Government must be dictated chiefly by
colonial and international considerations.
Her Majosty knows beforehand that tha
gravest significance will be attached at
home and abroad to her decision.
One of two things she must do.
r She may keep lienor Canovas as Premtei
with his Conservative Cabinet, intact or
modified, and keep Gen. Weyler in Cuba to
persevere in his present policy, with the
ample means recently voted by the Cortes.
Or she may call upon Senor Sagasta to
form a Liberal Cabinet, in which Senor
Moret probably would be Minister ol
Foreign Affairs, with opportunity to fol
low his well-known Inclination to com
to an understanding with the United
States; Senor Mauca, the great home
ruler, Minister of the Colonies; Marshal
Lopes Dominguez, War Minister; Spain's
pest financier, senior Oamazo, Minister ol
Finance, and which Cabinet probably would
Send Marshal Campos to Cuba with full
power to oonciliata the Insurgents and
loyalists by establishing more radical home
rule than Senor Canovas contemplated and
tnus disarm the united states.
UNITED STATES NOT AFFECTED.
Secretary Sherman Thinks Our Relation!
With Spain Will Mot Be Changed.
Washington, D. C. (Special). Official
ana uipiomatio circles in Washington were
greatly interested in the news from Madrid
that the Canovaa Ministry bag at lost
fallen.
It is aooepted as a foregone conclusion
that Senor Sagasta, the great Liberal lead
er, will be called upon to form a new Cab
inet and to assume the responsibility of un
dertaking the settlement of the Cuban ques
tion, liiToirea as it is witn possible compli
cations with the United States.
Secretary of State Sherman voiced what
undoubtedly is the general opinion when
he said that the relations between the Gov
ernment of Spain and tha United States
would not be ohanged by the retirement of
Canovas.
The general opinion of public men and
officials is that any change in the Spanish
Government must make for peace, its oc
currence being directly consequent upon
the disastrous failure of the attempt to
keep Cuba by war. Canovas has submitted
a new scheme of home rule for Cuba so
liberal as to meet Secretary Sherman's ap
proval. Minister Da Lome's recall from
Washington Is confidently expecte'd. A
change of ministry probably would- be
urged by Spain as a reason for delay In
pending negotiations with America.
SOLID SHOT AT THE VALENCIA.
Tha Ward Lin Steamer Flrrd on by a
Spanish Cruiser.
' The Ward Line steamer Valencia, which
has arrived at Clenfuegoa, Cuba, reports
an exciting experience while off Guanta
namo Bay.
The Spanish cruiser Belna Mercedes sig
nalled to tha Valencia to display her colors.
As the Valencia did not immediately com
ply, the Relna Mercedes fired a blank shot,
which was followed almost immediately by
a solid shot, falling out of range. The Va
lencia then displayed her eolors.
It is understood that the United States
Vice-Consul at Santiago de Cuba has lodged
a formal protest against the act of the
cruiser. Captain Quesada left Havana to
Investigate the affair, which has -rious
aspects.
The Spanish Government has disavowed
responsibility for the action of the cruiser
Reina Mercedes in firing upon the Ward
line steamer Valencia.
