Mob rule is the triumph of misdirected brute force, the victory ot passion over rea son, the substitution of passion for law. It brings chaos where order should rule, brands the men who engage in it as criminal's dis graces the community, degrades public morality and encourages crime. A murder is the act of an individual and affects but a narrow circle. A lynching makes mur derers of a whole community. Bat one thing is less wicked.

To lynch is mur der. To advocate lynching is to advocate murder. Both are crimes in every sense, and differ only ia this, that the former ia completed. The stain of blood is upon the hands of the lyncher. Murder is in the heart of the advocate.

is to. be congratulated that the love of order is so deep seated in the minds of its citizens that this deep disgrace has been thus far averted and the good name of our city preserved. Xo community ever had greater provocation to throw the law to the winds, audi inflict summary ven- geance Tbat this; passion for revenge has found expression only in the mutterings of a few, the drunken' frenzy of a hundred or two men half crazijtl with liquor and the babbling of fools unbalanced by a senseless longing for notoriety, provesjiow superior is the great body of our citizens compared with almost any c-ity of tbe It is, too, a testimony that our laws are well and faithfully executed. Only a people with full faith that crime will be fully punished and justice be visited upon the criminal in due course of law, could give so grand an example of self restraint as was exhibited in Rat-ine Saturday night. When tbe law fails of its purpose) justice will be administered without law.

1 ELECTRIC LIGHTING. Is it a Complete Success Conclusions of the Committee. Friday night was clear and starlight at Aurora and consequently not favorable for a satisfactory test of the electric light since it was impossible to distinguish perfectly between the illumination of tbe stars and the artificial light, But we were assnred by representative citizens that tbe greater the darkness the pore satisfactorr the light. On cloudy, rainy nights the tower of the lights is asserted to be demonstrated beyond question. In foggy weather, on tbe contrary, the electric light is less satisfactory.

Ita penetrating power seems to be less than that "of gas. This may perhaps be accounted for by the great altitude of the lamps and the refraction of the rays of light by tbe various strata Of foggy atmosphere. Another consideration must be taken into account in upon the success of tbe Aurora system. It has been in opera tion since November only that is while the trees are bare of leaves. When they ara in foliage the shadows will be vastly increased in number and intensity.

The shadow cast by an object in the vicinity of an electric light is black and distinct. It can almost be felt Therefore it is easily conceivable that a city embowered in trees will lie very densely shaded throughout the summer season, Everything must cast a shadow under the tower system. For this reason the business tienter of Aurora, where the buildings are hiichest was the darkest portion of tbe city. Another thing is obvious. The Aurora people made a mistake, due to inexperience of course, in not placing the lamps at intersections of streets, which would thus be lighted their whole length.

The towers were located primarily with reference to covering the entire territory of the city, and secondarily with reference to the elevation of the site. Wherever practicable eminences were chosen for the towers, whereas by selecting street crossing most of the obstructions to tbe passage of the light would have been avoided. THE COST. The cost of the plant to tbe city was: Towers, $1050; 140 telegraph poles, $245; extra work. total, This makes tbe whole expenditure incurred by the city and rcpreHenta a permanent investment.

The contract entered Into with tbe electric light company, which furnish es all elae and bears th entire expense of producing tbe light, calls fur a year. Hence the entire annua! expense of the electric light to the ity of Aurora fu.000, plus the Interest on the permanent investment of pins a small espeaditnr for the repair and replacement of toaers ami polea. 1 1 was Impowible to get the flgnres of the cost of the very ImMiflklent gas light heretofore Bed ia Aurora, but it was stated to be sotaewhat leas la amount than the cost of U-e elettrie light. Com-rwred with th light fttruUhed, however, the cost of the electric light is estimated by tbe people of Aarora at a figure much lower than the rot of gas. vscittoxi.

If The com Iuakki ef the Luting committee will be embodied in a formal report to the council, when onr citizens will have an opportunity to learn, their views. It may be stated ia general terms that tbe visitors were agreed npoa these Huts: First. The recess of the electric lizbt for the nuroose A Drunken Brawl at Rasmuasen'a During which Peter Schneider is Carved. Susan Karl Charosd with Poisoning and Robbing Her Affianced Hatband. Never in the history of Racine has auch intense and bitter excitement prevailed as since the fatal shooting of CaptWm.R.

Pugh. There are men who have resided here for the past forty years, and during that time have labored under the delusion that this city was populated by orderly und law-abiding citizens. Imagine their feelings when, on Saturday evening, they were suddenly awakened from this Hip Van Winkle sleep. Large crowds began to flock to the principal streets as early as o'clock, and by 9 o'clock the heart of the city was literally alive with people, mostly men. A large share of these were warm friends of Capt.

Pugh, and were not back- ward in openly expressing their desire to revenge bis cruel death. At tunes it wan iciucu au uuiuirik nuuiu in jiuiuc, uui better judgment and good engineering I 1- 1 1 1 V-. gained the victory, so far as the murderer was concerned, but not so with PETEE SCHXEIDEE and others. At 11 o'clock matters had quieted considerably but at 12 o'clock alarm of lire was sounded by nearly every bell in the city, which again renewed the excitement. The alarm was caused by a pile of cetlar posts being discovered on fire in Tremble's lumber yard.

Many supposed it was a call for the militia company to protect Clifford, the inarJercr, who was shivering and cowering with fright in his cell, fearing personal violence from an excit ed crowd, and large numbers rushed to the courthouse square, expecting to see him torn to pieces, but such was not the case as he was safely locked up and guarded. Pe ter Kasmusfien, who keeps a saloon just south of the court house, anxious to know the whereabouts of the fire, unlocked his doors and in less time than it takes to tell it, the crowd rushed in, determined to have some excitement, commenced opera tions at once by having a free for all fight. Xo one knows how the trouble com menced, but' seven or eight fights were in progress at the time, and Peter Poulwn, a man of much muscle, armed himself with steel about one foot long, used for sharpening knives, and proceeded to slaughter Pete Schneider, and he completed tbe job in an esthetic manner. One gash on the head was cut six inches in length and two other small ones inflicted. After being given this reception Pete was placed in the hands of Dr.

Martin who dressed the wounds. He was then taken to his home in the Fourth ward and yesterday morning Dr. Hoy was called and sewed np the large gash, taking seven stitches, and states that bad it been half an inch lower it would have severed an artery and the victim would have bled to death, which would have added ANOTHER VI'UDLE to the credit of Racine. During the melee beer glasses were thrown and went crash ing through the front windows. Asa Morris received a cut on the bead, a man nam ed Mack struck a Dane ana bis bead is badly swelled, and several others were more or less bruised.

Soren Peter Anderson was arrested and had a knife in his possession with blood on the handle, but he cliiins tbe blood came from bis band which was cut by a broken beer clam. If Schneider can identify Poulsou as the man who cut him he will have him arrested on charge of assault with a deadly weapon. While the populace were more or less agitated over this disgraceful brawl, it was allayed by Later. This afternoon Schneider came up town, and after consulting parties who witnessed the row, concluded that Nets Soren Andeion did the cutting, and not Poulson. Accordingly a warrant was issued for Anderson's arrest.

SCSAJf KABLfl being arrested on charge of larceny. The facts of Susan misfortunes are said to be as follows. She has no mother, but a father, who has just been discharged from tbe insane asylum at Oshkoah, having been sent there from this city some time ago, and Susan was the servant of a Mr. Roberta at Franksvilic. She was engaged to bo married to John Mainland one week from to-day.

Saturday night ahe invited Mainland to take; supper with her at tbe bouse of a Mr. Bennen on Carroll street He went and bad sapper, after which ahe prepared to take a walk. At supper Main-laud drank a nip of tea, which he thought had a peculiar fast. They started out and walked ijnlta a distance, and when near tha comer of Thirteenth and Villa streets Mainland suddenly fell Insensible to the sidewalk, and it I tlaliued Susan weat through his pockets, relieving him of f3.50, and then deserted and let htm lie, and went to the hot of his mother and stayed all night, Mainland was discovered lying on the street by At. roth and T.

Holborn, who carried him to the residence of his aunt, Sirs. Harcus, on Campbell street. Dr. Gar-lock was called and after examining Main land pronounced he was poisoned and 1 pumped the poion out of his stomach, which roved to be Belladona and some other a tem. COCKTESIES.
