6 HEAVY RIOTINC AT RIO. The Brizilian Capital Looks Like a Great Military Camp. Contradictory Dispatches as to the Fighting, Which Is All red to Have Occurred in Breaking' Up a Meeting of Royalist Conspirators—Soldiers Patrol the Streets and Artillery is Parked in the Squares. New York, Sept. 28.—A special cable dispatch from Montevideo says: Admiral DaGarna asserts that there has been riot ing in Rio de Janeiro, lasting five days, accompanied by outrages on Portugese merchants, instigated directly by Presi • dent Peixoto, who incited soldiers, dressed as citizens, to make an attack on the pretense that they wanted to break up a meeting of royalist conspirators. Rio, it is reported, looks like a great military camp; soldiers patrolling the streets, cavalry and artillery encamped in public gardens, launches patrolling the harbor front. The number of killed is stated to be 328, and 213 wounded entered the hospitals. Many of the wounded Were taken to their homes. Most of the fighting occurred near the water’s edge, and many bodies were cast into the harbor. The damage to the property of Portu guese Bristh and other foreign residents, will amount to $1,500,000. , Admiral DaGarna exhibited a telegram giving this news. It was not addressed to him, but was in cipher and sent to a well known Englishman here. The Bra zilian government has sent out a revised authorized account of the riots to a Lon don news agency and also to the United States. Strict censorship is maintained. The soldiers and marines sent against the •rioters fired blank cartridges, it is said. ' The British minister has asked for a guard at the legation and residence. This was granted him by order of Peixoto. The legation is crowded with refugees, Who, although promised protection by the authorities, are afraid to go on the streets. RIOTERS ARRESTED. . New York, Sept. 28.—A special cable dispatch from Rio Janeiro says: One hundred and ninety-seven persons have been arrested for being implicated in the riots of the last four days. Italian and Portuguese houses have been fired. The police and marines are active. Many cries of “death to the tyrant” were heard. Troops are held in the barracks and sailors with boats are ready to land. President Piexoto announces that aid from foreign ships is unnecessary. EVERYTHING REPORTED QUIET. London, Sept. 28.—Business firms here, having connections in Rio de Janeiro, are hourly receiving messages from that city, and little credence is given the reports .that riots have occurred there. The cable dispatches indicate that everything is quiet. FATALITIES AT A FIRE. Two Burned to Death, Two Badly Hurt and a Hotel in Ashes. Nanaimo, B. C., Sept. 28.—Two men were burned to death, two other men and • little girl were oadly injured, and SIOO,- 000 worth of property was destroyed by fire that broke out here at 5 o’clock this morning. The fire started at the corner .Os Wharf and Commercial streets, in the. Royal Hotel, which was burned. Patrick Mayce, a bootblack, and a bar-tender known as “Fritz,” employes in the hotel, were burned to death. Three guests were burned to death. The Hames spread in a northerly direction along Wharf street, destroying the fire hall, the Nanaimo hotel, C. Stevens’ dry goods store and five small buildings. That the newer part of the town was not com pletely burned wal due to the absence of wind, and to the vigorous work of the volunteer fire brigade. CRAZED BY MEXICAN LIQUOR. A Georgian Living in Mexico Com mits a Terrible Crime. Victoria, Mexico, Sept. 28.—An Ameri can family, consisting of a husband, wife and three children from Georgia, took up their residence on a plantation about . forty miles from this city. The man’s name was Frank Halman. Word was re ceived here that while crazy from the ef fects of Mexican intoxicants, he killed his wife and two children. After com mitting the deed, he made his escape from this section. The crime was wit nessed by the youngest child, who re ported it to the authorities. Halman is said to have left Georgia on account of some crime which he committed there. BHO V BY A HOLD-UP. Policeman Saw Him in the Act of Bobbing a Pedestrian. Chicago, Sept. 28.—Officer Andrew Hauswirth, of the Sheffield avenue police station, was shot and mortally wounded early this morning by a foot-pad whom he was trying to arrest. The officer also shot the robber in the back and the sur geons at the hospital say he will probably die. The officer came upon the robber as he was holding up a pedestrian. KILLED BY BURGLARS. Grafton, 0., Sept. 28.—John Haney, barkeeper at the Allen house, returned from the fair at Elyria at 2:80 this morn ing. He went to the barroom and sur prised two burglars. He was shot twice and died in fifteen minutes. His cries brought help, but the murderers were rone. Officers tracked the burglars to I Elyria with bloodhounds. One of them had his head badly cut by a glass thrown by Haney. FLURRY IN COFFEE. A Perpendicular Drop in September Options Takes Place. New York. Sept. 28.—The Coffee ex change was the scene of excitement to day, such as has not been witnessed for many months. The occasion was a per pendicular drop in the price of September contracts. It appears that some dilatory holders of September contracts, including a number of foreigners who habitually defer liquidations to the last minute, sent in orders to close out September con- ' tracts. At the same time it was reported that 6,000 to 7,000 notices had be n started. Three brokers had orders to sell September. A decline of % of a cent, or 75 points from the last sale of yesterday, was the result. September, which yesterday closed at 14.05, opened this morning at 18.80, next sold at 18.40, next at 18.85, and then at 18.80, after wnich a short notice September sold at 18.50. After this the market steadied up a little, but the feeling on 'Change is bearish, and a record breaking drop Is predicted Letter From the Pope. Buda-Pastb, Sept. 28.—At the bishops’ conference to-day the primate of Hun gary read a letter from the pope direc ting the Episcopate to use its eaorts wkh the House of Magnates in order to obtaiu a modification of the bill dealing with the religion of children of miwi mar riages. But the letter added, agitation ! must not take an illegal form. SENSATION OF THE HOUR. The Small Divorce Case Excites Much Interest at Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28. —The announce ment to-day that Mrs. Lola Small Jack son, daughter of Evangelist Sam Small, had begun suit for divorce in Knoxville, Tenn., was something of a sensation in society. Mrs. Jackson, who is a very beautiful woman, has been living for some time with her mother on Capitol avenue m this city. As a girl, the fair plaintiff was a great belle in society. Some time ago the public had a preliminary taste of the present case by a suit which Mrs. Jackson brought to recover SIO,OOO which she alleged certain gamblers in Knopville had cheated her husband out of. She gained her case and recovered a portion of the money. Jackson came into possession of $30,000 in cool cash when he reached his majority, which was just a short time before the marriage, which was a romantic affair. During the summer of 1892 Jackson vis ited Tate Springs, a popular summer resort, and met Miss Small. It was a case of love at first sight, and the pair were soon made man and wife. After the cere mony they went to Knoxville, where they resided during tiie winter of 1892-93. If Jackson’s gait could have been called speedy before his marriage it now became doubly so. He drank heavily, fre quented gambling houses, where he never failed to lose, and had a high time in gen eral, seeming to care little for the reputa tion of himself or his family. So the divorce bill reads. This continued until the spring of 1893, when he awoke one fine morning to find that he was practi cally penniless. It was then that his wife returned to her parents, and some months after a little daughter was born to her. Jackson left for Texas, and there he has remained. The bill recites his habits, says he would become boisterous and abusive wnen drunk, and that some times he would suffer from delirium tre mens and threaten to shoot his wife. FITZ WILL FIGHT HIM. Middleweight Champion Says He Will Try to Meet Corbett. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—“1f Mr. Cor bett will say that he does not want to meet Mr. Fitzsimmons, I won’t bother him any more, but I will claim the heavy weight chamoionship of the world and walk off with it. *See !” This was the response of Robert Fitz simmons, champion middleweight, to James J. Corbett’s statement sent out by the press association last night. Fitzsimmons and a crowd of sports stopped over here for a while to-day on their way north from New Orleans.* The champion middleweight was mad aC Cor bett. “He wants me to meet Steve O’Donnell, eh? Let O’Dpnnell whip Maher, or Hall, or somebody. I have defeated them. Then 1 will fight him. I shall try to get a fight out of Corbett, and I shall put m;, fist in his face yet. There will be no trouble about my putting up $25,000, il that much is required ” KEPT THE APPOINTMENT. Secretary Smith Charters a Train to Fill Hia Engagement. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—When it comes to keeping an appointment Secretary Hoke Smith should be given the banner— amid all the broken engagements of the present campaign. The secretary was billed for a speech at Elberton to-day and , was to have left Atlanta at 7:15 o’clock. Being deeply engrossed in thought he got aboard the Central train instead of the Sea board Air Lino, ' and was as far as Hapeville before he discovered his error. The Seaboard train bad pulled out, meantime, and it looked as if Elberton would be dis appointed. But Secretary Sinith was equal to the emergency. From Hapeville he telegraphed to Atlanta, and when he arrived in the city again the Seaboard had a special train ready to take him over to Elberton. He was a little late, but the enthusiasm over the secretary’s deter mination to fill his engagement more than made up for the delay. MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED. An Incident That Would Seem to In dicate Another Tragedy. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—James Fuller, a young man 23 years of age, employed as cashier at the Oriole case on Pryor streqt, was reported to the police to-day as having disappeared last night under very peculiar circumstances. He left the restaurant about 7 o’clock saying he would be back in a few minuies. and since that time has not been seen or heard 'of, although his employers made every effort to find him before applying to the police. Fuller had considerable money in his pockets and it is feared that he has been foully dealt with. He came to Atlanta from Birmingham, having made a good record for sobriety and steadiness as cashier of the Oriole case. THE SHOCK MAY KILL HER. Will Meyers’ Mother Said to Be Dan gerously 111. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—The mother of young Will Meyers, charged with the murder of Forest Crowley, is dangerously ill. Since the killing, Mi's. Meyers has been so ill that her recovery was very un certain, and to-day she is worse. The shock caused by the arrest of her son, the terrible crime charged to him, and his probable conviction, was more than the poor womah could stand. The Bill of Fare at Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—Senator Gor don, Gen. Evans and Secretary Smith, | H. W. J. Ham, the Cracker humorist,will ■ be the bill of fare for a big rally of demo crats here to-morrow night. Mr. Atkin- ■ son and Hon. F. G. dußignon will make speeches at the opera house Tuesday night, closing the campaign. Populists in Ware County. Waycross, Ga.. Sept. 28.—Probably the last democratic speeches in this county before the electioni were delivered at the meeting to-day at Millwood. The Millwood district will poll fullv ten votes for the populists, and demo cracy will receive between fifty and sixty. It might be interesting to the populists to know how they will stand at the various precincts in the county, as they claim over 800 votes in Ware. i A conservative estimate is as follows: Waycross. 12; Braganza, 10; Waresboro, 8; Millwood, 10; Bickley, 15; Sweats, 8; Waitertown, 5; Gleumore, tt; Manor, 1. Total 75. The populists hold many meetings at late hours at night to capture the negro vote. The effect of these meetings is hardly what they wish. Instead of catch ing negro votes they have caught mala ria, and it is telling on them. They are getting more irritable every day and ■ growl louder than ever. Bishop is shy of democratic meetings since he tried recently at Bickley to | speak with Wilson. Another noticeable fact is the con tinued falling o f from the populists • ■ throughout the country.

He Says They Set Fire to Their Own Cars, but Not a Witness in the Case Testified That Way—The Concluding Speech in the Case for the Govern ment Made by Sawyer- Chicago, Sept. 28.—1 n an intensely elo quent and dramatic speech, which held spellbound a large crowd in the United States court room this morning, Attorney W. W. Erwin made the closing argument for the defendants in the American Rail way Union cases. Mr. Erwin said in part: “On account of the feeling in this case, I feel called upon to say something unusual and not or dinarily permitted by judges.* I want to say in plain words, before a plain people, that whatever the outcome of the case you have been fair., My colleague, Mr. Gregory, struck the keynote of tnis matter when he said that the act of a strike was one consis tent with civil and religious liberty. I say there was no redress from the Pull man horror, although there are many who say otherwise. If there was any thing that the people could rely upon, it slept. What could they do? Declare war? No. Break the public peace? No. Then what could they do? Anything that the God-given conscience prompts them. That is the liberty of this flag. Is not it a deplorable state of affairs that, while the press rang out, while the pulpits roared against the iniquities at Pullman, no power in the law of this country stepped forward to stop them. These people were starving, yet not a flag was raised, not a drum beat, not an officer of this government stepped sooth to raise his hand in behalf of them. The French rev olution was cited here yesterday. What was it? It was an upheaval by the finger of God to get refuge from religious perse cution. This case will not bo viewed in the candle light of the Milwaukee or the Santa Fe road, but under yonder sun —God’s lamp,' This case is the beginning of suits, our friends on the other side tell us. To us it is the end of defensive suits. We are on our defense for the last time. To-morrow we shall begin on them. The conscience of this nation will demand that a special counsel be appointed to prosecute the general managers. I be lieve in the courts. But I also believe in the people and in conscience. These clients are charged with setting fire to cars. We will find out to-morrow who set these fires—these cheap fires to turn the tem per of the public. This fair city will never pay $3,000,000 for the railroads un til it finds out who set these fires/ I hope the nation will give the managers an op portunity to defend themselves. I de mand that conscience shall be free to con trol the man whenever it is justified by God’s law. Between man and his God there is no mist. When con science is justified the man is jus tified. All those things which people can do which is consistent with conscience—that they mav do. To my mind conscience is the only rule to be ' guided by. Property rights must be con sidered, of course, but when shall the time como when the rights of'property shall be greater than the rights of conscience? The hope of the American masses springs from God. You have got to cut off the communication from the master before you can re-ensiave the common people. Pullman Is, if not in law, in equity, the sole operator of the Santa Fe cars. Pullman was guilty of a cause to strike, and so the strike came. If members of the American Railway Union had a right to strike against Pull man, they had a right also to strike against Pullman’s contractors, the rail roads. “I have now said all I wanted to. So far as I am concerned, I am willing to leave the case to your own plain decision. 1 would rather leave it to you to decide than to decide it myself. If you should deem it wise to decide against these men, it would be more like a crucifixion of the cause of labor against capital, rather than a punishmentof these defendants. This is no time to indulge in diatribes the general managers, but they are here— these monsters are here in Chicago. Pullman set his foot on the neck of the poor and the general managers allied themselves with him. If the law does not do it. God will give these people jus tice; he will punish the general mana gers/’ Edwin L. Walker arose to make the closing argument and the final one in the case. Mr. Walker said he would attempt to prove to the court before he finished his argument that the Americal Railway Union was nothing more than a huge trust, organized for that purpose, and, therefore, ft came under the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890. In regard to Mr. Erwin’s intimation that cars had been set on fire at the in stance of the general managers, Mr. Walker said that the whole matter had been investigated by a grand jury, and no witness had been brought forward to prove the truth of the charges. Mr. Walker continued: “The learned counsel that preceded me said a special prosecu tor should be appointed to take the case of the general managers. I will say that if you will get one appointed I will be the first to indorse him.” The special council for the government then went into the law in the case, reply ing to arguments made for the defend ants. Mr Gregory interrupted him to ask if the President approved these pro ceedings. Mr. Walker answered: “The administration fully approves all the pro ceedings now bfeing taken at Chicago to ipake these defendants obey the law.” Mr. Walker confined himself to an ar gument on the evidence and the facts rather than a rhetorical demand for the punishment of the defendants. He said he could see no logic in Mr. Erwin’s speech, and that nobody had ever denied the right of men to strike, whether descended from Jehovah, or obtained otherwise. FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED. One Killed and a Number Badly Wounded in the Wreck. Columbus. Miss., Sept. 28.—An extra freight train on the branch of the Mobile and Ohio railroad ran off the track near Artesia this evening, severely injuring Conductor James Fitzgerald, breaking the leg of Brakeman George G. Bozier, killing a negro bo/named Gus Cheatham and wounding two other neeroes. The wreck was caused by the track spreading. I The body of Gus Cheatham is still under the wreck. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.

Strikers and Manufacturers to Confer on the Situation. Fall River, Mass., Sept. 28.—There is a possibility of a settlement of the labor troubles in the mills in this city. Secre they Howard of the spinners’ union has written to the manufacturers’ association asking for a conference, 1 and Secretary Rouseville has sent a letter in return say ing that the members of the manufactur ers’ association will meet the spinners’ representatives at 10 o’clock to-mor row morning. Secretary Howard will not state why he wishes to talk to the manufacturers at this time. It is surmised in manufacturing circles that he wishes to get well posted on the situa tion and to make some sort of a proposi tion looking toward a settlement. The members of the spinners’ union received their second week’s allowance to-day. To-morrow’s meeting is the great sub ject of talk in the city, and it is being re marked in all quarters that Howard will effect some sort of a temporary peace be tween the manufacturers and the opera tives. A great many weavers called at the headquarters of the union to-day, expect ing to receive a weekly allowance from the fimds. Nope had been voted, and of course no payments were made. Much dissatisfaction was expressed, but the officers say they must keep their funds well in hand for some time to come. The Sagamore mill weavers held a mefetlrig this fbrenoon and voted not to go to work,-but BT9 out of 1,200 looms were in operation before 12o’clock. The Globe yarn mills continue to show a gain in the number of operatives employed. The re duced scale of wages is in force at these mills. Colldctors for the Weavers’ Union will start to work Monday morning, and will make a tour of the New England cities asking for assistance. , WILL SUPPORT THE MINERS. London, Sept. 28.—The British Min ers’ Federation has decided to support the Scotch miners in their determination not to accept the proposals made and to continue the strike. COL. MACGSATH DEAD. Interesting Sketch of His Life and Services in South Carolina. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 28.—C01. A. G. MacGrath. judge of probate of this county, died here to-dav of Bright's disease, aged 49 years. His illness was quite brief. He was at his office last Monday, but was feeling unwell; on Tuesday he took to bed. His disease developed very rapidly and in a few days caused his death. He was educated at the school of B. K. Car roll, the histoidan. Subsequently he matriculated at the Citadel Academy and left it to*become an aide on the staff of Gen. James Connor. He served during the war acceptably to his commander. After war he studied law in the office of his father, the- Hon. A. G. MacGrath. and graduated well equipped for professional life. For some time he was his father’s co partner. He was a lieutenant of the Irish Volunteers, and afterwards captain of the Montgomery Guards. Later on he became lieutenant colonel of the Ribe regiment of the I ourth brigade, and was an admirable officer, illustrating his training in the Citadel. He declined a re-election. His social nature led him into membership with several ritual or ganizations; among them; the Knights of Honor, odd Fellows, United Workingmen and Woodmen of'the World. He was an official* in several of these orders. On April 7, 1890, be was appointed judge of probate to succeed Judge P. E. Gleason, deceased, and in the election of 1890 was chosen to refill the office for four years. At the primary held on Aug. 28 last he was nominated by a large vote for re election. His death opens an interesting question as to who shall succeed him in office. RECORD OF THE ROPE. Murderers Swung Off for Horrid Crimes in the Nations. Paris, Tex., Feb. 28.—Eugene Fulks and Tom Moore were hanged here to-day for murders committed in the Indian Ter ritory. The drop fell at 2:05 p. m. Both were pronounced dead m twenty minutes. The men both refused ministerial consolation on the gallows, * and Fulks died with an oath on his lips. The crime for which Eugene Fulks was hanged was the murderer of John McGuire, an old man living at Antlers, I. T.. last February. McGuire was engaged working at odd jobs and engaged Fulks to assist him. While at work in the woods one day Fulks shot and killed Mc- Guire, and robbed the body of a small sum of money. Fulks’ correct name was Davis and he was born in Nashville, Tenn., 1876. Thomas Moore murdered Charley Palmer in the Choctaw nation in 1889. The motive, it is believed, was a fear that Palmer, who lived on an adjoining farm, had learned too much of another murder, in which Moore and his brother were con cerned. Moore was born in Dade county, Missouri, in 1861. The Eloping Couple Married. Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 28.—T R Whaley and Miss Annie D. Powell, the eloping couple mentioned in yesterday’s dispatches, were apprehended at Quincy, but before the officer from this county arrived at that place they were married and en route to Georgia. DISASTER AND WRECKAGE F.orida Dispatches All Tell One Story of the Cyclone’s Fury. Incalculable Damage to the Or ange Growers and Groves of the Peninsular A Dismal Record of Houses Wrecked and drops De stroyed—Damage to Shipping and River draft. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 28,—Communi cation with South Florida is being re stored, and special dispatches are pouring in on the Times-Union relative to the damage done by the West Indian cyclone, which raged in the state Tuesday and 1 Wednesday. The dispatches all tell the q same story of houses wrecked and crops > destroyed, but no loss of life is reported. TIDINGS FROM TAMPA. £ The Times-Union received a dispatch * from Tampa to-day, which is the first in □ formation from that place since Tuesday. a At Tampa several large cigar factories were wrecked. The large three-story _ brick factory of Seidenburg & Co. was £ destroyed. The factory of C. A. Joyce _. was demolished, as were also the facto .. rics of Ybro and Maurara, Theodore, Perez & Co., and O’Hallaran. The First 8 Presbyterian church and the palatial !. Tampa Bay hotel were badly damaged. 1 Several smaller structures were also de -1 molished. The total loss on buildings at [- Tampa is estimated at 850,000. ;- Communication with Fernandina was q also restored to-day. A dispatch to the Times-Union from that place says that *• the schooner Edward ‘Stewart, which I- was loaded and was lying at anchor, was P blown across the river, pulling her jr anchors with her, and is now lying on a s, mud flat in about five feet of water. The t small boats were all blown away, and numbers are now lying high and dry up : in the marsh, together with the floating dock, which was at the foot of Center r street. During the storm at Fernandina the British steamships Boston City and i Elemville collided and were badly r damaged. DAMAGE TO RIVER CRAFT. } , A dispatch from Palatka annonunces great damage at that place to river craft. The steamer Princess was sunk between Palatka and Picolata. She is valued at [ 812,000. The steamer Edith was driven ashore. The steamer De Bary was driven against the drawbridge and wrecked. The steam yacht Maude was sunk near Crescent City. . To-day the Times-Union received ad , vices from St. Augustine, which has been cut off since Tuesday. These advices were brought by Mrs. Anna M. Marcotte, } the Times-Union’s St. Augustine corre , spondent, who made the trip on a hand car. Mrs. Marcotte gives a graphic ac count of the condition of things at St. Augustine. No lives were lost but several houses were wrecked, and the losses will run into the thOLsands. Nearly all the windows in the city were blown in and the houses flooded with water. The Ponce de Leon hotel was damaged in this way. The loss on the hotel’s furniture is heavy. At St. Augustine the waves > dashed over the sea-wall and made rivers of the streets; Many wharves were , blown away. Between Green Cove Springs and Palatka, on the St. Johns, twelve wharves have completely disappeared. Between Jacksonville and St. Augustine not a tel , egraph poie was left standing. The damage to the orange growers is incalculable. Dispatches to the Times- Union say that in the large groves the ( ground is completely covered with green oranges. The loss will be fully 20 per , cent. The east coast Is still cut off from com- ‘ munication below St. Augustine and Palatka, though communication may be restored to-night. Every effort is being made to hear from Titusville, Jupiter and Key West, which are supposed to have been in the storm center. Dispatches to the Times-Union indi- 1 cate that the storm was as severe in the interior of the state as on the coast. It struck Tampa and then traveled north east for Jacksonville and St. Augustine. At Ocala and Orlando, interior points, several sea gulls and sea eels were found after the storm passed. It is safe to say that the s orm has cost Florida more than 81,000,000, hut no lives have been lost unless at Key ’ West, Titusville, Jupiter and other East Coast points. >-■ .

Albanians Are Not “Careless With Fire,” Like Sherman’s Burners. Albany. Ga., Sept. 28.—The first fire alarm this city has had in over six months was turned in this afternoon. It was an insignificant blaze, which con sumed the roof of Mayor Gilbert’s kitchen'. This certainly is a remarkable record for a city of nearly 7,000 inhabit ants, and shows our people are not as “careless about fires,” as was the late Gen. Sherman. Pittman Bros., butchers of this city, are having ill luck with their help. Last week one of their helpers lost a hand in their sausage mill, and to-day another had his hand badly lacerated by a knife wielded by a white youngster, Master Gene Clark. Preparations are now being made for the erection of a permanent home for the Georgia Chautauqua. Ground will be broken about Nov. 1, and the big edifice, which is planned to seat 2,000 people ,will be ready for the sixth Chautauqua as sembly, which opens on the next Easter Sunday. DEATH OF.
