J mice I, j noli 'lake ( harge. Wichita Falls, 1 exits, Feb. 23. At S:30 last night, si mob of several thousnnd persons aUuukcd the jail here, where Foster Crawford and "The Kitl' wcro confined. After u show of lesistaucc on thu part of tlie author Hie., the mob battered in the jail doors and forcibly took possession of the prisoners Thu two men wore taken to the bank which they attempted to rob Tuesday, and an Improvised sealTo'.d was erected, The first impulse of the mob was to burn the prisoners, but valmcr counsel prevailed. Yells of "Hang 'The Kid' first" weut tip. Then others. "No, hung the old est first." "The Kid" refused to say a word, and those having him in charge yanked him onlo tv box. The scene was u weird one. One had on high heeled boots, black pan's and a deep red' flannel shirt, which added a g rue some brilliancy to the scene. In a moment the rope was about his neck and a man who, some say, looked like one of the men whose horse had been taken, fixed one end across the cross bar. All this time "Thu Kid" was jeering at the audience, laughing and cursing. Ho never quivered. He was asked to say what he wanted, and was told ltc would be given a hcsirlng. He said: "That's all right. If you tire impatient, swine; me up now. I ain't afraid to die, not a d n bit of it. Pull the rope. ' A voice in the audience: "Von are going to die now. Tell us your name." "The Kid:"' "My name is Younger Lewis, mid my father and mother re- hide at Neosho, Mo Any message'.'" from a voice in the crowd. "Well, tell mv father I was not .scared a bit; that I died like a nervy man. ' "Anything for your mother'.'" "No, not a word. She will see the message to the old man. Say, you fellows go and look in thatdugo'ut and you will find SH'.MIO there." "The Kid," or Younger Lewis, as he at the last moment hays lie was, con tinued laughing uud chatting witli the crowd, poking fun at them anil curs ing for a moment, and then some one veiled: "Time is up." "The Kid" baid: "I am 20 years old, and robbed that bank. I u m dead game and ready to die. Oo ahoiid." In an instant lie was muled up above the throng. He never quivered or kicked, lie just wont up in the air and was left hanging. Men on the frontier for years and years ssty no gamer man ever died. He wsts the contest man in all the great crowd. Al. Mm while Crawford was a spec tator of the scone. lie begun to weakun uud confessed, giving some valuable information. lie placed the responsibility for the orinia on the "Kid." The mob pulled him onto the im provised platform next to the bank he attempted to rob, and his head was ationton a level with the dangling feet of his companion, lie asked for Captsiin llurnctt. The latter was a spectator in the crowd. He went to Crawford and had a long talk. Craw ford had worked on Harnett's ranch for years and was a trusted man He began stealing his employer's stock, however, and associating "with terri tory outlaws. Crawford confessed to thc'huuk robbery, but denied the mur der. Ho was a small man, poorly clad, with red face and short clipped black mustache. When they began to look for a sec ond rope, lie begged for whisky. It was given to him. He talked and then begged for more. He again addressed the crowd in Comanche, English and Spanish. Those who understood him ssiy his utterances were incoherent. The rope soon arrived and it was put about his neck. lie fell, either in si faint or from the whisky he had drank. Mo was soon strung up along with liis companion and their bodies are still dangling in mid-air. Thu lynched men raided the City National bank at Wichita Falls, Tex as, Tuesday afternoon, killing Cashier Frank Horsey and wounding llook keeper I'. I'. Laugford. They were captured nine miles from town, after a light of nn hour. The ro liber were in a thicket surrounded by pursuers and surrendered only when all hope wat cone. They were taken to Wich ita Falls and Stuto I angers guarded them all night. Yesterday morning a mob gathered for the purpose of lynching the two robbers, but feared to advance on the jait as long sis thu rnngurt were inside with the prison ers. Last night the rangers left and the mob soon had the men. C'lillllcotlie'H .lliisonlu Temple lleilieated.

The port on Ssin Juau ttnl Stir is still open. More than 50J ions of cargo for Corinto arc now awaiting shipment here. A private cable dispatch reports that fighting has taken place between rebels siiul government forces near Moinotombo, on Lake Managua. It is ssiid the rebels captured two lake steamers. Telegraphic communica tion hns been interrupted between Corinto and Leon with Managua, the capital. The lVeilic mail steamer llarracouta is unloading freight here which was destined for Corinto. There are . sinus that the revolution in Northern Nicaragua may spread over Central Aineric.i. It has a dis tinctly religious cast, and the Leon Ites say they can count on slid, not only in this republic, but in the other four republics as well. Tlie Liberals have no confidence in the ostentatious display of sympathy for Zelaya by leading Conservatives in tills city. It is believed that it is a device to lull apprehensions and give the revolution time to grow. Presi dent Zelaya cannot hope for aid fiom the Conservatives, tlie richest, most inlluential people in the nonntrv The inlluence of thu highcit social classes is against Zelaya. (iiiatemala is ripe for revolution, owing to the deep seated dissatisfac tion of the intelligent portion of the people with the military rule of I5ar rlos, whose humble extraction and record for cruelty liavo turned the upper cluss against him.

Washington; Fob. 27. Mr. Quay re ported tlio army appropriation bill in the Senate to-day audgavu notice that ho would call it up to-inoriow. Mr. Allen of Nebraska returned to thu tariff question by referring to tlio statements of Mr. Morrill,, Mr. boot man and Mr. Piatt during the exciting debate yesterday. Mr. Allen satd ho had believed that it was the honest purpose of the Republican party to enact a law placing gold aud silver on equal terms, lint tlio debate of yes terday doveloped that the Republican leaders, under no circumstances, would accept a free coinage measure. Under I tlio circumstances, he would submit a distinct proposition to tlio chairman of the finance committee, namely that ho (Allen) would assure sufllclent Pop ulist votes to givu a majority of the Senate, if the passage of thu tariff bill ,us uccompauicil by tlio adoption ot a free silver amendment. Mr. Morrill remained in his scat without responding, but Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts made the point that the discussion was out of order. Unanimous consent was given, how ever, to Mr. Allen to proceed. He criticised the financial record of Mr. Sherman. The Republican party could not escape, said Mr. Allen, from the attitude of declining to rcinone tizo silver. "Thu Populist senators are ready to swallow your nauseating and unjust tariff measure," sstid Mr. Allen, "if you will placo silver on equal terms with gold; but you will not do it." Mr. Allen then turned his attention to Mr. McKinloy nnd had read from the desk a speech said to have been delivered by the cx-Uovcrnor of Ohio. Mr. Allen referred to Mr. McKinloy as the chief apostle of protection, and the speech purported to givu Mr. Me Kinley's severe criticism of the de monetization of silver. In conclusion Mr. Allen held up a bill, exclaiming: "Now, to test your integrity and good faith, I offer this bill. It is yonr tariff bill, without a 'T" uncrossed or nn '!' nndottcd, except In the title. And I sny to yon that if you arc ready to show the good faith of your asser tions for silver and link it with the tariff bill, we pledge you six Populist votes." Mr. Allen's blil was read, it being the tariff bill uud a freu silver bill combined. Mr. linker of Kansas asked if Mr. Allen would agree to deliver the six Kansas votes for a tariff' bill with an amendment restricting thu silver pro duct to American mines. "1 have not consulted my colleagues on that," responded Mr. Allen. "Anil I do not undertako to direct the Popti. list vote beyond this specific proposi tion. Personally I would not agree to it" . Thero was some discussion as to the merits of Mr. Halter's suggestion. The Allen compromise bill weut to the tablo temporarily. Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky offered mi amendment to tlio tariff resolution of Mr. Carter, directing the finance com mittco to report back a repeal of the one-eighth differential on sugar.

Replying to the query, lioncral Shelby sent the following telegram: When tJencral Leo furled the Hag and stacked arms ut Appomatox, then and there thu colors and uniform ot Iho Confederacy wcro burled for all timo. The idol of bravo men lay shat tered as the stars and r.triptv, floated again itt its old timo place. Heroes wept at the burial, but raised their faces to salute the Hag of an undivided and indivisible country. Anil we, who still stand 'this sldo of the weary door of death,' enjoying tlio freedom and protection vouchsafed to us by our common country and that fitig, realize that there Is but one Hag aud ono uniform, ono aymbol and one nrmy, for our common country. C'lti zunship Is broader than .sentiment mid duty greater than tender recollections, lint above all, trtio Americanism is chief of this trinity of vlrtucB. And so the ex-soldlery, whetbor of tlio North or of tlio South, should maintain that spirit of duty, citizen ship and Amorlcanisui which will banish sectionalism, bitterness aud prejudice, and tie us together with a fourfold bond of respect, esteemiffec tion mid patriotism. Relieving, therefore, as I do, that In the paradu as proposed in yonr city July J next, of the Ornnd Army of the Republic in National uniform, nnd the ex-Con federates in grey uniform with stars and bars, would bo incon gruous and mar the harmony of that occasion, I indorso cordially and com mend thu action of tJoncral Walker, conimniider-lii-chlof. in the course ho i has taken. Our griefs tiro private ! thu Sunny Southland all billowed over with tlio graves of our deud from 1 the sea to Iho gulf, Invites our lovo and claims our tendcrcst care. And it is no part of our duty or patriotism to obtrude ourselves or our private sorrows into the marching columns of the Grand Army. Chinese. Troop .Mutiny. London, Feb. 27.

Thoy becomo preach ers through feeling what they count as "Inspiration," and lawyers through of flco Bervlco under promfnent jurists. Perhaps existing conditions will change, but at tho present Ib Is a fact that outside of tho teaching profession tho women's colleges furnish a small, proportion of those who are gifted and successful In the professions.
