AIR. REED WANTED FOR A MATE
The Managers f the Ohio States
man's Campaign Are Anxious for
the Assistance of the Maine .Man.
llauna's'Plun.
Cleveland, O., June 1. Hon. William
McKlnley was in Cleveland for a few
hours today in consultation with M. A.
Hamia. When asked to answer some
of the questions which have been fired
at him so freely from all sides as to the
Quay meeting and the money question,
he suid:
"The greatness of the American
people is evidenced In nothing more
than In the Interest they take in the
exercise of suffrage. In every election
they manifest the greatest enthusiasm
and so long as they do so, this nation Is
safe from its enen:ln within and with
out. The peorie keep at it year In and
year out and have made office holding
the servitude of the man to the mass.
Public office Is the people's honor.
Public service well dune Is its own
honor." ;
HANNA'S PLANS.
Hanna will move to St. Louis within
the next ten days in order to pen up
his show before the convention circus
begins. No end of congressmen and
visitors are expected this week. In
deed, this will undoubtedly be the ban
ner week In the rush for seats on the
band wagon. There are not many good
ones left, however, for the Oh;o
"patriots" have pre-tmptlod almost
everything In sight. '
Young Senator Garfield, one of the
Eons of the martyred president, was
In Mark Hanna's office today at noon
and engaged a good place. The young
senator wants to keep In close touch
with the coming administration, for he
wants to go to congress soon and follow
in the footsteps of his father.
There Is no end of talk In Ohio about
Speaker Reed accepting the Vice-presidency.
Indeed, the McKlnley men are
Impatient to have the Maine man as a
running mate to McKlnley. The plan
Is to nominate Reed by acclamation.
The feeling Is everywhere prevalent
that Rped's name, added to that of
McKlnley, will Insure a winning ticket.
MURDERED BY A FIEND.
The Mutilated Body of a SevenYear
Old Child Found in the Woods
at Colcbrook.
Lancaster, Pa., June 1. The body of
a child 7 years old, chopped and muti
lated in a most horrible manner, was
discovered at Colcbrook. There la not
the least doubt but that the ohlld was
murdered and then fiendishly dlamm
bered in order to prevent Identifica
tion, Colebrook Is very near the
boundary between Lancaster and Leb
anon counties. Sunday school children
yesterday strayed away from their di
rect road, and taking a path in the
mountain made a shocking discovery.
They summoned the nearest neighbors,
who, after removing the body to a safe
place, notified the Lebanon county au
thorltles. They have made diligent
search for the relatives of the child, but
thus far they have not found the alight'
est clue.
The arms and legs of the little one
were chopped off. The remainder of
the body was wrapped in material such
as Is used by furniture dealers in pack
ing goods. The body was badly decom
posed, and the supposition is that it
was secreted at least two months ago.
RESULT OF A RUNAWAY. ,
Wallace Riley Is Instantly Killed by
Thomas Allen.
. Lebanon, Ind., June 1. At 9 o'clock
this morning Thomas Allen, a wealthy
stock dealer, and Wallace Riley, a
prominent citizen, engaged in a duel in
front of the postofllce. Riley was in
stantly killed and Allen's son, who was
Bitting in his father's carriage, was
seriously Injured. The tragedy is the
rt8Ult of the runaway marriage of Al
len's son, aged 17, and Riley's daughter,
aged 24. v 1th the assistance of a
friend, who swore to the boy'a age be
Ing 21, they secured a license and were
married Saturday morning.
When Mr. Allen learned of the mar
riage he was very angry. This readied
the ears of Riley and he went gunning
for Allen. He found him In front of
the postofllce and opened fire on him.
Allen Jumped from his carriage and
lired, killing Riley Instantly. Young
Allen will probably recover. Great ex
citement prevails here. Allen Is In Jail
and claims he acted entirely in self
defense. QRIFFO DEFEATS TONKINS.

Athletic Club.
Brookyn, N. Y., June 1. "Young"
GrlfTo, the Australian, defeated Sam
Tonkins, of Astoria, In a ten-round
bout at the South Brooklyn Athletic
club tonight. Tonkins gave the Aus
tralian an argument, but the "feather"

man easily.
The two other bouts provided good
sport. Harry Fisher, of Brooklyn, and
Jack Read, of Ireland, fought a fast
ten-round draw. Solly Smith, of Los
Angeles, and "Dolly" Lyons, of New
York, were the principals In the second
bout. The referee called the bout a
draw, but Smith did nearly all the
work and should have got the decision.

Country Surroundlnj The
Death List.
St. Louis. June 1. The footway over
the Eads bridge was practically ready
for pedestrians this afternoon, and the
drive way for wagons will be ready by
tomorrow or next day. The electric line
over the bridge will not be ready for
traffic for several days yet, but trains
will un ever the bridge every twenty
minutes.
A 2 o'clock this afternoon the
Chronicle complied the following table
at the latest list of fatalities:
Known dead In St. Louis, 196; un
known dead in St. Louis, 8. Fatally in
jured In St. Louis IS; missing In St.
Louis 118.
Known dead in East St. Louts 145; un
known drad In East St. Louis S; fatally
Injured In East St. Louis 2. Total fa
tally 490.
The extent of the tornado s disas
trous work here and in East St. Louis
has overshadowed the losses sustained
in adjacent towns In Missouri and Ill
inois and no accurate list of allied has
been made. A careful compilation from
all sources made today gives the fol
lowing 'losses In outlying towns by the
tornado.
In Missouri outside of St Louis, IS
killed, 133 Injured.
The total loss ' In Randolph and
Audrln counties will amount to $300,000
additional. Loss on crops and farm
property In entire state will swell the

The corpse of John Barfest was taken
from the ruins of Ottenad's factory at
Broad and Soulard streets this after
noon. The remains of an unknown
white man were taken from the river
at the foot of Tesson street. The work
of searching the wreckage goes stead
ily forward. That a great many corpses
are In the ruins seem to be pointed out
by the fact that the police have a list
of 120 persons who are yet missing.
A number of them are probably In the
river. It haa been believed from the
first that at least fifty persons lost
their Uvea by being blown Into the
river and only three of them have thus
far been recovered. '
The local relief fund Is now far be
yond $100,000. This does not Include
the $100,000 which will be given by the
Municipal assembly.
The telegraph companies have re
paired the damage to their lines and are
handling the business of the public
without delay.
The Bell Telephone company sua
talned greater damage, and today there
were 2.000 Instruments In working or
der and 2,500 silent. The continuous
rains are a great drawback to tho
vigorous efforts that are being made to
start the street lights. All the street
car systems In the city, except one, are
running on schedule time.
Pity aroused by the suffering In St.
Louis is deepened to despair when the
woes of East St. Louis are contem
plated. The biting chill of the ral'.i
laden air was a poor comforter day
to the thousands of homeless ones there
who made shift to shelter themselves
amid the ruins of their home or
btveuaced in empty freight cars. AU
the East St. Louis schools opened this
morning except two.
East St. Louis has recovered from
the dumnre done its electric wires more
rapidly than St. Louis.
The two militia companies are still
In the city and kept doing police work,
Without their assistance the police
would be unable to cope with the
thieves.
Mayor Bader reports generous re
turns to their appeal for aid. No ad
ditional deaths were reported this
evantng. me corpse of an unknown
man was found under a car at. the re
lay depot.

The lower classes of the populace are
intensely exasperated, and language

other times would cause the speakers
to be severely punished.
Th correspondent adds that when the
police reinforcements and Cossacks ar
rived on the plain Saturday morning
the latter, as Is customary with them
when dealing with the peasantry, ap
plied their whips cruelly and needlessly
lashing the Moujiks who were on the
outskirts of the crowd. Two of the
Cossacks were dragged from their
horses by the enraged sufferers and
killed. Eight gendarmes were caught In
the crowd, knocked down and suffo
cated. GOUGED OUT HIS OWN EYES.

tho entire delegation from Pennsylva
nia will do the same. All the talk that
has been Indulged in to the effect that
the honest money majority of the na
tional committee will exercise its power
to unseat delegations is out of place.
I still hope and believe that there will
be a majority of sound money delegates
in the convention, but I am ready to
admit that the silver sweep In Ken
tucky changes matters and reduces my
hopes. It will likely have some effect
upon the states that have not yet

two NEGROES LYNCHED.
Jesse Slayton and Win Miles Riddled
with Bullets and Hanged in
Broad Daylight.
Columbus, Ga., June L Two negroes
were hung to a tree In the middle of
Broad street, the main thoroughfare of
this olty, and riddled with bullets by
an Infuriated mob at 10 o'clock this
morning. They were Jesse Slayton
and Will Miles.
Last Thursday Slayton assaulted
Mrs. Howard Bryan, a respectable
white lady of this county. He was
captured that day and placed in jail
before the crowd found him. This
morning he was carried to the Superior
court room for trial. He had been in
dicted and a Jury was being impanelled
when a mob rushed up the steps into
the court room, yelling and brandish
ing rifles and pistols, seized the terri
fied man, threw a rope around his neck
and dragged him a hundred yards down
Broad street, riddling his body with
bullets at every step. The body was
then swung up to a tree and left dang
ling there. The crowd then went to the
Jail after Miles, another negro, who, In
the night time, about two years ago,
attempted crime on Mrs. Albright, a
lady of this city. The jailer pleaded
with the mob, but to no avail, and was
compelled to surrender Miles to save
bis life and the jail from destruction.
He surrendered the keys and the
doomed man was led to where the body
of Slayton dangled. Miles was quick
ly swung up and his body riddled with
a hundred bullets. Miles had been
tried and convicted twice, and his case
had been twice sent back by the Su
preme court on technicalities for a new
trial. His last trial resulted In a mis
trial, and he was in jail awaiting his
fourth trial.
