The faloied Wretch ho Cruelly Murder- rji rati Doljsoii Taken From an.J Hiuigrd by Vlnllanles. January 18. Holly r-l-ps, the black-skinned and black hearted wretch who murdered Farmer Dobson. of Greene County, on the night ot the 11th. paid the penalty of death for his damnable deed this morning at the bands of an in-furiuted mob, who came from Greene County, forty miles distant, to stretch the negro's neck.

It was one o'clock hen the leader of the mob, which was composed of no more than fifteen nervy men rapped at the door of Bhu iff Seddlomeyer's residence. The moon was shining brightly, and the figures of the men in musks, as they took thoir positions at different corners of the house, was a weird scene to behold. In response to the rati the Sheriff came to the door and asked what whs wanted. The leader replied: "We want you to open this door, and mean every word we say." Seddlemeyer said: (ientlemen, 1 will not open it." '-Well, then, we will batter it down," rejoined the leader, in a clear and emphatic tone. "Are you going to open it!" "No," cried the Sheriff.

"Get ready, boys!" commanded the leader, "One, two, three! Lookout inside," aid with a crash heavy sledge-hammer wus burled against the fragile wooden door by a stalwart vigilante, and the mob was in the main corridor leading to the iron door which stood between the fiend and his fats. Hummers and cold chisels were brought into requisition, and just fifteen minutes from lite time the mob demanded an en-trace the Inst blow as struck, and the ponderous lock of Ihe iron door fell to the floor. It seemed but the work of a few seconds until the murderer's cell was invaded and the rope placed securely about his neck, lie was then led out of the jail by the mob, and lor the first timesince his incarceration walked unaided. The vigilantes letl hiin over the icy ground about fifty yards from the jail, and, entering lie Courthouse yard, led him under an immense maple-tree with a limb designed for a rope. It seems Kpps was speechless during the whole lime.

The mob asked him no questions, and the vile wretch did not attempt to open his mouth. He was per fcct.lv resigned to his fate. The rope was thrown over the limb of a tree, and the murderer's carcass was hauled up. Seurcely a word escaped the lips of any member of the mob. The stillness was only by the guigling sound in the negro's throat, the death rattle, which grew fainter and fainter as tho rope tightened nrouiid his neck, In twelve minutes from tho time his feet left the ground he was a dead num.

The mob was quiet and orderly, but a more determined set of men never undertook to storm a jail. A great, many i-ilU'-iis, who gotwindof the contemplated attack, were on the scene as spectators, but there was no attempt, to molest the aioti either by citizens or officials. REVEALED DY A DREAM.

I The U. S. Court Holds That a State Law Imposing a Tax On Persons Belting Liquor In That State to be Shipped to Another Stale Is Repugnant to the Constitution ot the lulled states.

Wasuixotos, January 18. The Supreme Court of the United States rendered the following decision to-day in the case of Samuel A. Walling agaiust tho people of the State of Michigan. In June, ISsil, Walling, the plaintiff in error, was prosecuted in the Police Court at Grand Rapids, under a Stato law imposing a tax on persons engaged in tho business of sell ing liquor in that Stale to be shipped from any other State. He was a drummer for the firm of Cavanaugh of Chicago, and he was charged in one count with selling liquor at wholesale without a license, and in another with soliciting and taking orders for its sale without a license.

He was convicted aud sentenced to pay a fine, and was imprisoned in default of payment. He appealed to the County Circuit Court, iu which the case was tried by a jury, and found guilty. The case was carried to the Supremo Court of Michigan, which de cided against Walling. The question in the case is whether tho statute under which Walling was prosecuted is rcpugnuut to the Constitution of the United States. This Court held, Judge Bradley delivering the opinion, that a discriminating tax imposed by a State operating to the disadvantages of the products of other States when intro duced into the first mentioned State, is in effect a regulation iu restraint of commerce among the States, and as 6uch is a usurpation of the power conferred by the Constitution upon the Congress of the United States.

The Supreme Court of Michigan held that the tax imposed by the act is an exercise of tho police power of the State for the discouragement of theuso of intoxicating liquors and the preservation of the health and morals of the people. The Supreme Court of the United States hold that this would be a perfect justification of tho act if it did not discriminate against the citizens and the products of other States, and thus usurp one of the prerogatives of ihe National Legislature. The Court concludes its opinion as follows "We think that the act In question ope rates as a regulation of commerce among the States in a matter within the exclusive power of Congress, and that it is for this reason repugnant lo the Constitution of the United States, and the judgment of tho Supreme Court of Michigan is reversed, and the case remanded, with instructions to take such further proceed ings as may not be inconsistent with this opinion." The Supreme Court also rendered tho following decision ill tho ease of A. G. Caffey vs.

the United States: "That trial and acquittal under criminal information was a bar to a proceeding for a seizure of distillery property for alleged violation of tho internul revenue law, but that a plea of guilty and sentence Jliy fine was not a Pur to seizure." PRESIDENT VS. SENATE Cleveland foi Will Net (live Reasons Making Removal. Chkaoo, January 19. A Daily A'etes special from Wuslrugtou says the Presi dent, in conversation with a Republican Senator, said to day "lam led to believe that the majority of your body intend to insist that I shall give my reasons for suspending en officeholder at the time I noin inate his successor. 1 must inform you that I shall do nothing of the kind.

That is the position I pro, mi -ed to lake, and I am ready to abide the consequences." Wakhixoton, January 10.

The Democratic Senators held a two-ho urs caucus this afternoon to compare views with regard to the anticipated issue be tween the Senate and the Administration about removals.

After considerable discussion a suggestion was made that the subject be further discussed after the Republican position had been more clearly developed, and the caucus adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. XLIXTII COXGKESS. CONDITION OF TRADE. CAREER OF CRIME ENDED. (leu.

A FLASH OF LIGHT. Entombed Men at Nantk-oke Relieved Still Living, and Snbslnting ou SJ-" Mula Meat.

Wn.KEsnArtnt', January 18-The people of Nanticoke are greatly agitated by the report that two of the rescuing party working in the mine where tho men aro imprisoned has seen a light ahead of them at a point which, if true, confirms tho theory that the men aro in a chamber high up, and out of danger.

John Davis, one of the discoverers, thinks the men are living upon mule meat, and says he Is willing to stake his house and lot that some of them, at least, are still alive. At first the story was not Iwlieved, but it was reiterated so positively that additional men were put to work at the point where the light was seen to-day. ROASTED LIKE RATS.

As an outgrowth of the conditions noted It Is added that country collections in many cases are reported slow, though this is said to be due to some extent to holding hack of produce ou the part of farmers or to low prices received therefor when sold. The demand for funds at many of the larger interior cities is smaller than In recent weeks. Dry goods prices are unchanged, though the total quantity shipped has een materially lessened.

Latirer orders for prints arc expected. The price of B4s is now SKc, having had an tipwaid tendency for ten days past. Brown and bleached cotton iroods are quiet but steady. At some points t.ie retail demand is reported better. The lohhin-' trade at Chicago is not expected to improve materially until milder weauier v's in.

Wool is firm and prices are well held, win? to light interior stocks and relatively small supphef at the seaboard markets. At the latter weexly sales are modeiatciy large. Cotton is firmer, spots bring ana futures about ten points hiuher. This is based apparently on the renewed short-crop talk, backed by decreased port ana interior town receipts and by stronger Liverpool and Manchester cables. Wheat has had to suffer another season of shrinkage in prices, due in great part to a fuller comprehension of the enormous sun-plies in sight nt ading markets on both sides of the Atlantic.

The slight gain in exports baed on the decline did not serve to stiffen prices, as K. inrush quotations went on in the fear, apparently, that, America was about to unload its surplus wheat. The decreased deliveries at western primary markets on account of snow and storm and the decline of about 7C0.00O bushels in the weekly visible supply ia'led to sustain the market, which has been more active at the decline. There appears to be less confidence in permanently higher prices for wheat than betore. Oilier grams have sympathized with the denressitm in wheat.
