Cal., Dec. 21.—The decom posed granite shifts like sand and the rescuing force is experiencing the great est trouble in preventing it from crowd ing the drift away from its course. Hicks is in a position from which ho talks to his risen* rs through the inter vening wall and lie attempts to give di rections. H.' maintains his brave front. Through the pipe this morning ho joked with his would-be rescuers.

The lynching party used "Senior lia.ll" of St. John's College for its as sembling place. This fact is taken to indicate that most of the men connect ed with the affair were Annapolitans and did not come fiotn Igleliart's sta tion. where Mrs. Held lives. As early as 11 o'clock it appears, the mob began to colieet on st. John's campus. Some time after 12 the crowd entered the lower floor of Senior hall. There its members preceded to id.token their faces and some of litem donned masks. They were quiet in their movements, lut some of the students were awakened. These later come down and watched the pro ceedings. but did not interfere or give any alarm. The college authorities strongly de nied today that pity of the students wem implicated in the lynching. Most of them are at tiieir homes for the hob idays. On its way to the jail the mob stopped at. thej Annapolis gas plant and tried fa> enter, but failed to gain admit tnnceftt is presumed that the-intention was to out rftf the town lights.

The first indication of the willingness of the Gans money to go on record is a change in the odds. Nearly every bet registered since the selection of Jeffries to referee the battle has been made at 2 to 1 instead of 10 to 7. the former price. The change is not understood by the fight students.

JAMES LACEY, WHO’S DEAD. Joke That Haunts the Obituary Col umns of Indiana Newspapers. Indiana newspapers many times each year in lent; obituaries record the death of a man who never existed. His name James Lacey, and the supposed place of his death, Echo Knob. Ky., which is not on the map have become household words. Notwithstanding the fact tiiat the notice of Lacey’s de mise appears in the regular death col umn, some folks always laugh when they read it. Colonel William Penn of Terre Haute, a railroad man and former Kentuc kian. Introduced Lacey to newspaper men several years ago. It came about this way: Coloned Penn was sitting at his desk one day reading the comic sec tion of a paper in which an imaginary Kentucky duel was described. Three Ken tuckians were pictured as playing poker. Suddenly a fusilade of shots was heard. "Trouble, it seems.” said one. "Yes.” said another, raising his eyes and glancing out of the window, but not missing his card play. "Mat Downs cf Howling Green, and Jim Lacey of Echo Knob, are shoutin’ up some." The game proceeded and after a time no more firing was heard. “Seems to have blown over," said th« first card player. "Fact.” said the second, again glanc ing out of the window. “How'd it come out?” ventured the questioned. “Lacey’s dead." replied the other, coolly. The card game was continued with out another word. The story amused Penn and was passed around to his associates. He had hardly resumed work when a dull reporter brushed up to him. saying: “Any news today, colonel?” “Yes," replied Penn. “James Lacey of Echo Knob. K.v., is dead.” “Who is lie?” asked the reporter eagerly. “A former employe of this railroad here," said the colonel, earnestly. “11c was murdered.” The reporter hastily drew out his note pad. and to the intense amusement of the office force, the joker related the killing of Lacey, as told in the funny sheet, carefully omitting the card players. The reporter, who was on an evening paper, by dint of hustling, caught his edition and soon the town was reading of the cold blooded murder. Editors of the morning papers wired Louisville for more particulars, and were in formed that no such town existed. They took no chance# of being beaten by their rivals, however, and printed the stoiy anyway. On investigation they found that the story was a hoax and it was quietly dropped. The cub reporter nearly lost his job and the tale leaked out, but was soon forgotten. After that every time a new reporter came on the railroad run he was told the tale of James Lacey's death: but the murder features were cut out to avoid attracting too much attention. Editorial forces were small and changed frequently, and from time to time the account of Lacey’s death would slip by a new editor or a hurried ,.0,,v reader. The laugh was always at tiio expense of the paper or its green i*t porter. The joke spread among railroad men throughout the slate and the story was repeatedly printed by unsuspecting edi tors. One paper, only hist week, de voted nearly half a column to the sad accident. SKOWHEGAN. Tle> third annual concert and ball if the Skowhegan lire department was held Friday night. Music was fur nished by Kendall's Orchestra. The success of the affair was in no small measure due to the efforts of the com uittee of arrangements, Archie 1.. Weston. Mark \V.

He was measured and weighed, tipping the beam at 174 pounds, and showing that he had gain ed slightly in weight since his arrival at the prison. His height is 5 feet, S'/fc inches. After he had had a bath he was taken to the prison barber, who shaved him and cut his hair and he was then given a suit of gray’ prison clothes, such as are worn by first term men. "I suppose I'm entitled to four bars for my four years service,” said Pat rick jocularly, as he took the clothes. “Yes,” replied the warden, “and you will get a star next April.” For wach year that a prisoner serves he- has a bar placed on his left sleeve and when he has served five years he receives a star. After Patrick had put on his prison suit lie was conducted by the warden Ip the door and sash factory, where he Will be put to work tomorrow. On ar riving at the workshop Patrick be came an object of intense interest to the convicts in the place. The men ..fire not supposed to raise their eyes Vor look arottpd them while at work, but none of them could resist the temptation to steal a glance at the noted prisonA The warden explained to Patrick just v' wliat he would do and when the men finished their labors for the day Pat rick was ordered to fall in line and with the others he marched to the celts.

Dro. 21.—The galleries and benches in the Chamber ot' Deputies were crowded today when the govern ment’s bill amending the church ml state separation law of 190.'> was called up. All the members of the cabinet were present. Some nervousness pre vailed on account of the attitude of the followers of Ex-Premier Combes, as a result of the incident in the Chamber last night when M. Pel let an, Radical Socialist. demanded the light to dis cuss tlie new bill, which drew forth a sharp reply from Premier Clemcnceau regarding "friends and pretended friends.” Many persons believe! that the Combes party was secretly ready if the opportunity offered, to precipitate a ministerial crisis. The Nationalists and Royalists groups, having decid°cl in advance not to take part in tin* de bate, merely deposited a formal pro test, to which f»l signatures were at tached, expressing the opinion that 111? restoration of religious peace in I'*i.litre could only be brought about by the re-establishment of the union of church and state. The opposition speakers were the first to address the Chamber, Mm. Rasies and Railberti arguing that the least which the government could ac cord the Clericals was the inclusion in the new law of a distinct provision that only priests having ecclesiastical authorization should be allowed to con duct public worship in the churches while Ex-Premier Rihot. amid ap plause from the right severely criticis ed the government’s “precipitate change of position after promising to leave the churches open for public worship and to allow a year's grace for tin* final devolution of church prop erty.” Minister of Public Worship Briand declared that the government has long foreseen the necessity for the present step and lidded: "Nevertheless, we are not alarmed. The country is calm and public opin ion supports a policy of moderation. Bishops and even archbishops are sup plicating us to expel them in order that the Holy See may not suspect them of reaching an understanding •with the government.” This statement called forth a protest from M. Denys Cochin, at whose resi dence Cardinal Richard, the archbish op of Paris, sought refuge after the prelate's expulsion from the Episcopal palace, for which the deputy was tail ed to order by the President of the Chamber. Continuing the minister remarked: "We know that the Vatican will re fuse to abide by the law of 19!I3. but v.o will force it to keep within the law.” A WHALER'S PROTEST.

Mass., Deo. 21.—The Standish Guards, Co. D. 5th Regiment, one of the oldest militia organizations in tlie state, celebrated its S8th anni versary this afternoon by dedicating its new $30,000 armory. Captain Charles C. Doten who commanded the company when it responded to Presi dent Lincoln's first call for troops in April, 1861. and did service at Fortress Monroe, presented the guards with a large flag for the building. At 1 o'clock the company marched through the principal streets, halted at Ply mouth Rock, where, according to cus tom, it fired a salute and ‘America” was played by the band. Thence the march was resumed to the railroad station where Adjutant General James A. Frye, chief of staff of Governor Cur tis Guild. Jr., representing the com monwealth. and his party, were re ceived, and escorted to the armory. The dedication exercises were held in the large .driil shed, William S. Kyle, chairman of the reception com mittee, made an address of welcome and was followed by General Frye, and William T. Davis and Arthur Tod of this town. In tlie evening a concert and ball had been planned to conclude the festivities. The new building is of brick and is well appointed in every particular for its uses. NOT WITHOUT HONOR. Men of 16th O. Regiment Mustered Out for Fear of Further Damage. Columbus. Dee. 21.—Survivors of the 16th Ohio, stirred up by the refer ence of tile President to its muster out under charges, today sent a number of t-df-grams to the office of the adjutant general asking for the facts as shown by the records. The records show that while the regiment in 1862 was in Camp Douglas, some of tile troops became riotous and a lot of lumber was burned. A hoard of survey was appointed to fix the.re sponsibility for the outbreak and to estimate the value of the property de stroyed. This board fixed the value of the lumber at $2I6II and held 4625 men coining from 13 organizations and five states, guilty of the off,.nee. This re port, however, was filed 77 days aftet the regiment had been discharged. A leter from Guv. Todd to l-Mwin M Stanton, then secretary of war, urging that the men lie discharged, is on rec ord. Todd suggested, among otliei things, that "It is difficult to coutro idle men.” The men were not dis charged without honor, however, am according to the record, it looks a: though they were mustered out for feai that they, with the other troops a Camp Douglas, niigh do other damage PASSENGERS LUCKY.

That church warfare over in France furnishes a man with the best kind of excuse for staying at home Sunday morning. No reasonable wife would insist upon her husband’s going to church when there is every prospect that lie will be arrested if found there. A physician says a plate of hot soup will warm and nourish a man more than six drinss of whisky costing fif teen cents each. And moreover, the plate of soup will not cause him to buy a wildcat gold mine or a Mexican rub ber plantation.—Louisville Courier Journal. All true; hut who would ever looked for it in Col. Henry Watterson’s paper! A Southern paper tells us that ‘‘the Texas farmers are beginning to wear tuxedo coats,” and that "Tennessee farmers are never seen nowadays without a plug liat and a 1' cent ci gar.” From this we are evidently to infer that the farmers in those states are enjoying unprecedented prosperity, which no doubt is true. Tuxedo coats, plug hats and 15 cent cigars are rare ly used by our Maine farmers, but yet it is a safe proposition that the farm ers in this state would not exchange their lot for those in Texas and Ten nessee. They enjoy their prosperity in other and wiser ways than that. As one means of preventing its cele bration of the centennial of the birth of tleiieral Kobert K. Lee from being wholly a Southern affair, Virginia has engaged a Massachusetts orator. Charles FYancis Adams, as one of the leading speakers of the occasion. Hr. Adams is a descendant of one of New Kngland's most famous families and a most scholarly gentleman, but he has acquired the hahit of making a sensa tion when lie delivers a public address, and it is barely possible that lie will shock til‘ 'South cm the occasion re ferred to. Vermont has a unique custom all its own of having its legislature meet and do its work during the fall months. That body has now completed its busi ness and adjourned, while in nearly all ot tin* other states of the I'nion tin legislatures will not meet until tin first of the new year. II is hard tc see what they have to talk about dur ing the long winter up in Vermon without having the progress and pros pei ts of the legislature's work to dis cuss. The city of Lowell, Massachusetts has been very much upset of late ove a hydrophobia scare. In one day tw men and four children were bitten by mad dog on the streets. Since tli first manifestation of rabies in the cit 9S suspected dogs, two cows. wide had been bitten and gone mad. anil on 1 mini cut have been killed t>v the police department. Hydrophobia is one of tile most fennal diseases in the whole Ions list of the things which cause hu- 1 mao suffering and death, and such a scare as Lowell is having is a serious I matter for all concerned. Certainly it i is not to be denied that it is serious enough for the dogs of the city. There is something particularly tin- pleasant to most of us in the thought ot horse meat as an article of food, and yet in several countries which have attained a high degree of civilization horse meat has long bee* a familiar article of diet, and it is even asserted that its consumption is steadily in creasing. In a recent debate in the German Reichstag on the subject of duty on foreign cattle it was declared that the use of horseflesh has increased largely of late among the people of the German Empire. The same informa tion comes to us through our consular reports. Consul McNally, of Liege, re ports that in Relgium. as in other European countries, the sale of horse flesh is rapidly becoming a recognized branch of the butchering business. Many shops in Liege sell horse meat exclusively. The consul says that those accustomed to this food are loud in its praise, and declare it to be as palatable as beef. Many persons eat horseflesh under the Impression that it Is beef. It sells for one-half the price of beef or mutton, and this is one of the explanations of its growing popu larity. The practice of •‘hippophagy" is traceable to the eighth century. Napoleon found that the practice was in vogue in Denmark when lie invaded that country in lv07. it last the natives surrendiq i. filli ng a war of two centuries ami a half. When tin- war began, w nu ll these >utchmen have now ended, New York 'ity was only a Iiutch village on Man uittan island, the Pilgrims had been n Massachusetts only a generation, 'harles li was on the throne of Kng and, Shakespeare was writing his Masterpieces, and the world was just uvakening from the long sleep of the itark Ages.

The commutation of Patrick's sen teno to life imprisonment by tjover t’.'>r iliggins of New York is a new and important chapter in the story of this remarkable prisoner. His tight to save himself from the electric chair has been unique in the criminal annals of tiie country and lias attracted wide spread interest and discussion. es pecially in legal circles. Patrick is a lawyer and one of great ability and resourcefulness, and lie has not oniy employed every familiar device to postpone the time of the execution of Ins sentence, hut he has also invented several new legal quibbles to attain this end wbieh bad lu-ver been eni I ployed before.
