Long before that time the court room was filled with lawyers, politicians, oil men and other people interested in the case. Most of them were sure that there would be an acquittal, and many bets were made to that direct When the alerk asked Foreman Ublncker what verdict had been reached, the reply was: The particular cause of this unusual preparation on the part of the white population is because the prisoner's friends have threatened to introduce as Tabor's defense that he was asked to go to the house in the absenoe of the woman's husband. The complainant is of such high standing and so much respected in the community that the citinns say they will drag the prisoner from the oourt room and hang him to the nearest tree if any such testimony is offered.

"I have been simply amazed at the extent to which the prejudices so unscrupulously aroused against us have been dissipated in the course of the briefest intercourse with the people. It is not too much to say that, any threatening appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, we can challenge the opinion of the people of the proTinoe of Ontario with more confidence than Lord Lansdowne is likely to. There is intense public opinion regarding his conduct in the province of Quebeo. In Montreal itself I find that within the last two days the condemnation of Lord lansdowne has become greatly intensified and is showing itself in quarters from which I least AN ELECTRIC STORM Chicago, May 10.—The heroism of John Vorbanck in saving his Infant child from almost certain death cost him his own life. His lH-months-old babe had toddled down to the Northwestern railroad track, near his bouse, and sat down between the rails to play. The whistle from an approaching switch engine attracted the attention of the father, at work in the yard, who was horrified to see his child sitting on the track calmly watching the swift approach of the engine. After an instant of mute terror the father rushed towards the track, and, throwing himself directly in front of the engine, seised the child and threw it safely aside. He had no time to save himself, but was caught by one of the wheels and thrown across the rail His left leg wai so horribly mangled that it was amputated. He also received injuries about the hips and head.

S:S3. A rumor of lynching reaohed the negro settlement in Oxford. Without learning the truth of the report, and attributing tbe threat to the citizens of tbe town, they planned to burn the place. On a windy night in March a brother-in-law of the prisoner set fire to a large tobacco warehouse in the business section of the city. More than $100,000 worth of property was destroyed. A young man had already received an anonymous letter warning him that the town would be burned if Tabor was lynched. Had not this been sufficient the actions of tbe negroes, their boisterous laughter during the fire and their refusal to assist in removing goods, would have assured the whites that the Are was inoendiary. Bloodshed wasarerted only by the negroes retreating before the drawn revolvers of the 'Whites. A detective was employed to find out ths principals. The revolt was tbe arrest of the negro Noel, who applied the torch, and on* other. The evidence against Noel was conclusive, and ha would have been at once swung to a chimney but for the hope of securing others through his turning state's evidence. Since tbe arrest an outbreak has been even more imminent, the blacks expecting daily that their imprisoned friends would be lynched.
