Til. Htury of th. Crime
One week ago Mrs. rJllea Gaumer was
assaulted by Mitchell at her home In
this city, near the eoui thouse.
The negro waa dret held for robbery,
but on last Wednesday waa arraiRmd
for criminal assault. Mrs. Gaumer v,t!.
unable to appear In court, and the hear
ing was held at her home. As Mitchell
entered her room .he exclaimed: "The
brute, hang him! How dare you face
ine again, you brute!"
Soon alter the Identlllcatlon Wednea
day at Mrs. Uaumer'i home there
was talk of lynching. Crowds surround
ed the Jail that nluht. and the sheriff
and the local mill' la had trouble In
yroteetlns the prisoner. Thursday a
grand Jury was Impaneled, and It soon
returned an Indictment for criminal as
sault. Mitchell, disRUlsed In a soldier's
unltorm, was brought from Jail Into
court. He w'alved the reading -of the
IndictmenK pleaded guilty and was
promptly sentenced to 20 years In the
penitentiary, the maximum punishment
for his crime. An attempt was made
to take Mitchell to Columbus, but the
crowds which had gathered about the
courthouse made a rush for the Jnl
when the wagon drew up. The militia
drove them back, but the mob Increased
In numbers and grew more threatening.
Rherlrf McLean and the troops had all
they could do to hold the Jail, and the
trip ta Columbus was given up before
the departure of the last train.
The Attack on the Jull.
Early yesterday morning an attack
was made on the Jail, and the military
began firing. Over 20 volleys were
poured Into the crowd. The mob was
repulsed, leaving four killed and 10
wounded. The range was close, but
the soldiers fired wildly. Of the killed
and wounded, nearly all were on the
outskirts of the mass of men. Those
Immediately In a direct line of fire es
caped. The volley drove the crowd
back a little way, and It was found
that two men, named Hlgglns and Bell,
had been Instantly killed. When their
bodies were picked up In the court
house square. It made the crowd furi
ous. After the dead and wounded were
cared for the crowd rallied and made a
second and this time successful attempt
to capture the prisoner. The local mil
itia had been on duty two nlt-iits, and
they did no mote shooting. The mob
then broke for the Jail. No force was
needed, as Sheriff McLean delivered the
keys, and the crowd soon found Mitch
ell's cell. Throwing a rope over the
trembling wretch's head, he was drag
ged out, receiving some kicks and
blows. When the outer door was
reached, the noose slipped off, and Syl
vester Zimmerman tied it so securely
as to receive the cheers of the crowd.
The rope was thrown over one of the
limbs of a tree In the courthouse yard,
Mitchell was Jerked up until his head
struck the limb and his neck was
broken, and then his body dropped to
the ground. The crowd repeated the
Jerking several times until they were
sure he was dead. While the body of
Mitchell was lying on the ground hun
dreds crowded about to see It. The col
ored people were greatly excited. They
had previously met and adopted reso
lutions for the punishment of Mitchell,
but many of them offered the opinion
that he was not guilty. Women and.
children, as well as a multitude of men,
witnessed the lynching, which occurred
In broad daylight. There waa rro at
tempt at disguise or secrecy.

Harrlsburg. June 8. Governor Has
tings has sent to the senate without
his approval the concurrent, resolution
requesting him to stats what new sub
jects of taxation he has to recommend
to the general assembly to Increase the
revenues. The executive reminds the
legislature that If In Its duty It deems
It necessary to pass additional revenue
laws there is no duty resting upon him
to name the subjects of taxation. As It
is the fundamental law of the common
wealth that all bills for raising revenue
shall originate In the house of repre
sentatives It would bo contrary not only
to the letter, but also to the spirit of the
constitution that all bills should origl
rate with the executive. The governor
men reads the legislators a timely lec
ture on economy and intimates that he
will sign only such appropriation meas
ures as are absolutely necessary. He
nnany advises them to finish up their
business promptly and adjourn.

committee, who delivered the opening
address. In the course of whl' h he sal.1:
"Our motives are these: We desire
above all thlnus else of Immediate pollt
loal ooikciii the speedy re-establishment
In the United States of true bimetallism,
the same privilege of free coinage at
the mint for both gold and sliver and
absolute equality between them In all
money power, when coined, with the op
tion to every payer, whether the gov
ernment or an Individual, to choose
what coin shall be the basis of payment
In every Instance. ' We wish to do all
In our power to advance this happy con
summation, and we realize that If this
great cause Is to succeed In the elec
tions of 18!8 and liHK) It can do so only
through the addition to the allied armies
of ,(M!O,0iK) that followed the banner of
the Jeint standard In 1HSH of at least
some hundrtds of thousands of Repub
licans of that contest."
In ron luslon, he sold the immediate

ment of a national committee of seven,
were adopted:
Whereas, It Is nnt the province of this

but.
Whereas, In order to preclude any basis
for either misunderstanding or misrepre
sentation as to the object of this organ
isation. It la prudent to make known the
controlling principles of its existence,
therefore,
Resolved, That the Silver Republican
pnrty of the United States favors the
Immediate establishment of bimetallism
by the Independent action of the United
States through the free coinage of both
silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 and
the clothing of both metals equally with
every attribute of full monev, with the
rlttht of every debtor to choose which
coin snail be the basis of payment; and,
Resolved. That the achievement of this
great object is deemed by us of para
mount political Importance and shall form
the controlling motive of our political ac
tion until it Is accomplished.
Your committee on plans and organ
isation for the Silver Republican party
of the United States begs leave to submit
this, our report:
First. Wo recommend the appointment
of a national executive committee of sev
en member,. Including the national chair
man, to be anointed by the chairman of
the national committee.
Second. That this committee be em
powered to take sueh action as may be
necessary In order to lilt any vacancies

committee, Is authorized to call a nation

necessary details therefor.
Fourth. In those stales where organ
isations are not complete the members of
the national committee for such staled
shall take sm-h steps under the direction
of the national executive committee as
are necessary to complete such organisa
tion. The resolutions were Blgned by Fred

6ETH LOW FOR MAYOR.
II. I Willing to I) Greater Mew Turk's
First Chief Rxeentlv..
Now York. June 8. To all Intents and
purposes Seth Low, the president of Co
lumbia university and a former mayor
of the city f Brooklyn, la In the field
as a candidate for mayor of Greater
New York. Mr. Low Is practically nom
inated, although that nomination haa
not been made In the formality of a
convention.
In a letter which Mr. Low sent to the
Cltlscens' union under date of yester
day, which wai read before the execu
tive committee last night, he says:
"You have asked me If I will accept
the nomination for the office of mayor
of New York at the hands of the Citl
i.ns' union If tendered U the near fu
ture, and you have stattr that, in your
opinion, there la popular deelre that 1
should become a candidate for that of
fice. This has naturally compelled me
to consider tire question In all Us as
pects and In all Its momentous possi
bilities with the utmost carefulness.
"This much I am prepared to say. In
view of the grave Importance of the
first election under the Greater New
York charter, I will not eliminate my
self from the situation a I was com
pelled to do three years ago. On the
other hand. I am still charged with
responsibilities toward the university
over which I have the honor to preside
that I may not lay alde except under
the compulsion of a public duty that
cannot be gainsaid.
"Testing the apeclllc question you
have put to me In this light, I am
obliged to say that I do not think I am
warranted In accepting the nomination
of th Citizens' union at the present
time. The question of time apart, I
must have much more evidence than I
now have of the popular desire to make
It fleein to me a public duty to become
a candidate.
"if I were convinced that there were
sueh a popular desire and that my can
didacy would prove a unifying force
among the friends of good government
in the city, I should not hesitate to ao
cept your nomination."
