LATEST FROM JACKSONVILuE.
The I)aval Uliletle club and the <;o%ernor
Spurring The Club Coutiuues Conll-
Jackbonville, Fla., .'an. 15.—-An-
other rumor is current as to tho method
the Duval Athletic club will purstio in
preventing the governor from interfer-
ing with the Corbett-Mitchell contest
It is conceded the means which will be
pursued by the club in case the gov-
ernor decides to stop tho contest, will
be to order the sheriff to inform the
executive the county authorities will
be unable to cops with the threatened
disturbance and that the aid of the
military will be needed.
It is rumored, however, a day or so
before the fight the club will apply to
the circuit court for an injunction re-
straining th * sheriff from interfering
in any way with the contest. If the
injunction is granted, it will be impos-
sible for the governor to act, as by tho
laws of this state he is not empowered
to order out the militia without a call
from the sheriff of tho county.
The Duval club's argument will bo
that tho county solicitor refused to in-
troduce evidence against the fightc-rs
when they were arrested for arranging
a glove contest; such a contest is not
therefore illegal, and that the club has
a large amount of money invested
which will be lost should tin- contest
i be preven ed. It is believed an iu-
| junction will be granted on these
I grounds, but there are other reasons

RrssKM., Kan, Jan. 15.—A terrible
exhibition of prairie justice was seen
here Saturday night when three men,
J. (1. Hurton, William Gay and his son,
John Gay, were lynched by a deter"-
inlned mob. The men were held guilty
of tho murder of Fred Dinniny last
July. Dinniny lived with T. VV. liurton
on a farm eleven miles north, and July
0 he disappeared, liurton had his team
and even wore some of his clothes, but
claimed that Dinniny had gone to Okla*
homa with young Clay.
(Jay returned a short time ago, and,
on close questioning, confessed that
Burton had poisoned Dinniny. 'I he
elder Gay attempted to point out the
place of burial, but failed. Burton
then made a confession that the Clays
killed him, and on Thursday took tho
sheriff to a comneld in a ravine where
the body, decomposed and mutilated,
with the skull crushed, was found.
Indignation ran high, and it was with
difficulty that the three men could bo
got back to tho jail, where they had
been confined since their arrest late in
December.
Saturday night a number of men
from the vicinity of the Burton farm
came into town and were reinforced by
farmers from all parts of the country.
The party appeared to have been
picked, for there were only about 130
in all when, ut midnight, they sur-
rounded tho little jail and demanded
the prisoners. This was refused by
the sheriff, but the parley was short.
The mob easily forced their way iuto
the jail and dragged out tho terrified
trio from their cells.
The mob was cool and apparently
well organized and made no attempt
nt concealment, though there were
many onlookers. They took the men
out through the streets and guarded
them with jealous care, leadiug them
along the Union Pacific track. A shoit
distance from town, a little prairie
stream is crossed by tho railroad and
wagon road, about 100 rods east of the
Russell depot.
To the bridge over this the mob went
and placed the trembling wretches
near the edge. Ropes were ready and
one was put uround the neck of each
of the men and tied to the stringers.

Meetings at the Congregational
church will continue nightly during
the present week. The services last
week were Intended principally for
the church members to enthuse jthem
and cau*e them all *to work together
in harmony and love. Much and con
tinued good it is hoped will be ac-
complished ere the work shall stop.
Let the publb turn out and hear the
eloquent and earnest ^rhortations of
ltev. Francis. The subject last night
♦•When two of j u l«a I agree t g 'th-
er concerning auylhiag it shall be
none" was ably handled and the good
audience •show«l their appreciation
by their earnest attention.
Mr. John C Chapman, a farmer of
Sod alia, Mo , is in the city looking for
one Robert Owens, a young man
about 20 years of age. Owen's pvr-
ents arc dead, and uutil September
10th last he has been making bin
home with Chapman. On that date
he left and a young lady living in
that neighborhood also disappeared.
Her n iire is Mamie Onstout, and
think the two eloped. Owens
will come into about 120,000, left him
by his parents, as soon as he reaches
his majority, and Mr
very desirous of fludlng
the amendment through. Little demo-
cratic opposition to thj bill has mani-
fested itself during the general debate,
an I the democratic members of tho
committee express confidence the bill
will go through practically in an un-
amended form—with the possible ex-
ception of the sugar schedule.
On this proposition the committee
self Is divided, those favoring an indi-
vidual income tax supporting the free
sug.ir proposition and the opponents of
the income tax by Chairman Wilson
favoring the restoration of the sugar
duty in order to do away with tho
necessity for an income tax.
The great difficulty in the way of
modification of the bill in this particu-
lar. however, even if it should develop
Kreat strength on the democratic side,
is that the republicans will not vote to
restore a duty on sugar which was i
placed on the free list by the McKinley
law.
The most important committee work
of the coming week will be that befcue
the ways and means eommittee, where
the Intornal revenue bill is still under
consideration. Up to last Friday it was
practically settled that the meas-
ure should cousin an income
tax, an incre.ised tax on whisky
and taxes on playing cards and
cigarettes. Rut by the unexpected
change of attitude of Representa-
tive Rynuin in moving a reconsid-
eration of the internal revenue feature,
there is much doubt as to what the
committee will ultimately do with the
bill. The members have agreed, how-
ever. that the work on the bill shall be
completed so as to go before the house
on next Thursday. It has also been
determined to report the bill as a sep-
arate measure, although caucus action
may yet be taken in order to have the
bill introduced as an amendment to
the pending tariff bill.
The bond question has been referred
to the ways and means committee, but
no action whatever has been taken on
the subject as yet The bill of Repre-
sentative liarter for an issue of bonds,
and the bill of Representative 0 Neill,
of Massachusetts, for a loan in antici-
pation of revenues, arc both befo e tho
committee, but Mr. Wilson says he has
not had time even t refer thein to the
respective sub-committees which will
consider theui.

To make sure of carrying out their
Washixoton, Jan. 15.-—Some decisive
action to replenish the gold reserve in
treasury must be taken within the
next fe - weeks. If congress does not
take kindly to the suggestions of Sec-
retary Carlisle in his annual report and
provide at once some means of relief,
the only course left tho olllcials of the
treasury department will be for tho
secretary to exercise tho authority i
granted him by the law of 1875 and
i.ssuo bonds for the purpose of maintain-
ing the gold reserve.
The position which confronts the ad- |
ministration is one which they have de-
cided to handle with promptness. All
the available money now in the treas-
ury department consisted of what is
called "gold reserve," which has now
been invaded *26,000,000 and by the
first of tho month, tho treasury depart-
ment believes tho total amount will
have been reduced to 108,000,000. Such
a situation, It is thought, would again
start a movement of gold toward
Europe, which would still further re-
duce the amount of gold held by the
United States.
Secretary Carlisle has twiee appeared
l>efore the committee on financo, and
his presentation of the case to the
members of that committee has been
clear and explicit Vn the statement of
the situation. When he next appears
before the committee, which may be to-
day, it is probable he will emphasize
his argument by tho presentation of a
carefully prepared statement on the
condition in which he finds the national
finances as well as the methods pro-
posed by him to afford relief.
Mr. Carlisle proposes that congress
shall deal with this matter, but if the
legislature fails within three or four
weeks to show any indications that it
intends to aid the *ecretary, it is
known he will l>e forced to avail him-
self of tho authority granted him by
the act of 1875 and issue bonds neces-
sary to replenish the gold reserve. It
is because Mr. Carlisle desires that con-
gress should first act that he has thus
fur made no preparation for an Issue of
bonds, and all statements to tho effect
that orders have been given tho
bureau of engraving and printing for
plates are pure fabrications. Abso-
lutely no action has l een taken and
no plans decided upon.
