THE-EVENING «41117111on TWO MEN LY; OHED. Brutal Murderers Taken From Jail by n Mob and flanged. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 8. —A special to The Journal from Lexington, Mo., says that a mob of Ray county farmers brokednto the county jail there, secured Jesse Winner and James Nelson, held for the murder of Mrs. Winner and her two babes, and banged them. The mob broke into the jail with little dlmculty and speedily accomplished their object of meting out punishment to the al- leged murderers. The jail was not heavily guarded. The mob was composed of 150 men, all un- masked. They were very orderly, but clearly showed that they meant business. They quickly overpowered Jailer James Goode and demanded the keys to the cells of Nelson and Winner, Geode had hidden fliem, and when one of the mob said to him, “There is one way to make you give them up,” the jailer coolly replied, “You can’t make a dead man give. them up, so shoot me if you want to.’ i The leaders said they were prepared to 81$th an entrance and displayed a quan- tity of dynamite, sledges and Chisels. J ailer Goode remained strong, and the mob went about to ‘gain their end in an- other way. The other prisoners were told to make no break for liberty or they would be severely dealt with. Then the doors were battered down and two dozen men rushed to the cells Of the two alleged murderers, who slunk into cor- ners, begging piteously for mercy. As he had passed his cell Winner told one of the other prisoners that he was guilty. The river was crossed at -" "out 2 O ’clock, and the two men were qulc... y dispatched. Lon Lackey, who has also been in jail here under a charge of complicity in the murder, was taken to Richmond Saturday, which fact alone saved his life, as he would certainly have been lynched with the oth- ers. The probabilities are that vengeance will be meted out to him later. Several at- tempts were made to lynch Winner and Lackey while they were in jail at Rich- mond. which led to their removal for safe keeping. Nelson had been in jail here only since Saturday, having been arrested on a con- fession by Maggie Katron, who made a , sworn statement that she, Winner, Lackey and Nelson committed the murders. The crime for which Winner and Nelson were lynched was the brutal murder of Mrs. Winner, wife of the lynched man, and of Clara Winner, aged 3 years, and Perle Winner, a boy aged 18 months. The Winners lived near Richmond. On' Oct. 26 Winner left home. and the next day Mrs. Winner and the two children were found with their throats cut. Mrs. Winner’s body lay outside the house and was frightfully mutilated by hogs be- fore it was discovered. 92' DISORDERLY SOLDIERS. French Artillerymen Disgrace Themselves at the Eete of St. Barbara. PARIS, Dec. 8.—The disturbances at Brest upon the occasion of the fete of St. Barbara, the paw-.2) ass of the artillery- men, were most disgr. leeful, and continued from 2 o’clock in the morning until mid- night. The rioters invaded the Folies Bergeres Concert hall and wrecked the ta- bles and furniture. From 2 o’clock in the morning until 10 o’clock they tried with drawn swords to capture the police ofiice at the town hall, but were kept at bay by the occupants, who were armed with re- volvers. Affrays occurred all over the town. The damage to the property was considerable. The artillerymen had no weapons, but they were well supplied with stones and clubs. Twenty-two arrests were made. Admiral Barrera, the commander at Brest, has ordered an inquiry into the matter. Similar student riots occurred at Mont- pellier. The mayor was booted, and the university officials were denounced. The gendarmes finally cleared the streets of the mobs. McKinley's Inauguration. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Mr. S. W. Wood- ward today declined appointment as chair- man of the committee Of arrangements for President McKinley’s inauguration, and Mr. Bell, president of the American Se- curity and Trust company of Washington, has accepted the honor.

A Gallon of Boiling Water or All the Gas You Need Follows the Act. The ingenious individual who in- vented the pcnny-in-the-slot machine probably never had any idea that it would come as a been and a blessing to man; and to tell the truth, it has hitherto distinctly not been regarded in the light of a boon and a blessing by man—at least, not in the United States. But no matter. A novel penny-in-the slot machine, after a triumphal debut in Paris. is touring through England and earning enthusiastic encomiums wherever it makes its appearance. The invention in question is a hot water lamp slot machine, that is so practical, so infallible, that ere long the ordinary street lamps now in use will be collected by the antiquary, and tinder boxes. In their place there will be at the street corners big orna< mental columns, with improved and magnified lights at the top, the heat from which, instead of being allowed to go to waste in the atmosphere. will be used to boil water. At the base will be placed a machine into the slot of which an eager public will drop a cent and get a gallon of boiling water in exchange at any hour of the day or night. A Frenchman is credited with hav- ing originated the idea of utilizing in this way the heat generated in the street lamps of cities. However this may be,.it is certain that these public boilers were first set up in Paris, where their success was instantaneous and unqualified. The machine has now been tried in London and several other large cities in the United Kingdom, where it has come to be regarded in the light Of an indispensable adjunct of civilization without which life would no longer be worth living. The possibilities of the scheme are, '1 in fact limitless. Each machine sup< plies fifteen gallod’s of boiling water an 110111, 01' a gallon every four min- utes. That it would suply a‘real want is proved by the fact that there are a considerable number of people who make a snug income in the tenements of London—and possibly in those of New York, for all I know—by selling hot water in the summer, and even In winter, at two. cents a kettleful. One woman is said to have made a tidy fortune by starting such a business in an East End tenement district. One enterprising gas company sup- plies houses with a slot meter. The occupant of the house drops in an Eng— lish penny, 01' two cent piece, when he wants a light and a certaih number of cubic feet of gas is furnished by the meter. \Vhen the gas goes out he drops another penny in the slot, and the supply is renewed. The same system has been put in operation on the railroads. If you are reading and desire a better light you drop a penny in a slot and a little elec- tric reading lamp, just above you1 lead, immediately throws its effulgence upon the eye tiring pages and renders your reading easy and agreeable. _. Didn’t Know the Ropes. Gen. Morgan of Illinois, who com- manded a brigade in Davis’s Division. was one of those men so slouchy in his appearance that a stranger would never have picked him for an Oflicer of high rank. says Harper’s Rou'nd I‘able. One day a raw recruit of his , brigade, who had lost some books, asked a veteran where he might be likely to .find them. The veteran said the only thief in the brigade was Jim Morgan, who occupied a tent near the clue flag. The 1"ec1uit hastened to Mor gan’ s tent, shoved his head in thlough the flaps, and asked: “Does Jim Morgan live here?” “My name is James Morgan,” an- swered the General. “Then I want you to hand over those books you stole from me!” “I have none of your books, my deai man.” “That’s a lie," cried the. soldier “The boys say you are the only thiei in the camp. Turn out them books, 01 I’ll grind your carcass into apple-sass? General Morgan appreciated the joke, and laughed heartily, but when. the recruit began pulling off his coal to make good his threat, the Ofiicei informed him of his relations to the brigade. _ “Waal. blast me if I’d take you f0! 11 brigadierl” said the man. “Excuse me, General, but I don’t thoroughly know the ropes yet.” “'indows of Cloth. lVindows of cloth instead of glass sounds like an impossibility, and yet it is a reality. and the employment of such a substitute is an acknowledged success. It is not ordinary cloth, but such as is translucent, through which light comes just as through glass. To all intents and purposes this cloth win dow is similar to the sheets of glass, and lasts ever so much longer, while still having just as good an appear— once. Now, the remarkable feature of this new fabric is that it never leaks, does not break and is nearly one-third cheaper than glass. A large skylight composed of the new substitute for glass, which has been in constant use long enough to show its worth, re- mains in perfect condition, not one cent having been spent on it for re- pairs. The material has many advantages claimed for it, chief of. which is that by its employment in train sheds, freight houses, large auditoriums, and public buildings having skylights of large area, the light weight of the ma- terial permits of a simple, inexpensive and light form of skylight construe 11011. , '1 ,L, along with brass candlesticks and flint / Better than the Romance.

Toasts were called for, and to the young law— yer fell the honor of suitably remem~ boring the absent friends. This is the way he announced it: “Our absent friends—how soon we would show them the depth of,our re- gret at their absence if they were only here with us to-night.” And the funniest thing about it was that nobody caught on to the bull un- -til some time afterward—Cleveland Plaindealer.

An Unheard Of Case.

Then she became hys- terical. The physicians and nurses ad ministered oxygen‘and injected food. Finally an electric battery was brought into use. Then the girl showed . Signs of returning consciousness and 1 her condition changed for the better , and she became convalescent. Her physician says the case is en— tirely without a parallel in his experi« ence, and in the medical records be has not been able to find an analagous case.
