A PICNIC BOAT THE SCENE OF A
FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
The Keeper of a Lnnch Counter Killed
on Principle by the Crowd for Resent
ing Robbery—The Bartender Put to
Flight—Miners in a State of Turmoil.
Columbus, 0., Aug. 31.—Reports have come
from the Hocking valley to the effect that the
miners at Snake Hollow made an attack on
the guards at 2 o’clock this morning, one of
them being killed and two wounded. It is re
ported that about 3,000 miners who came in
from the surrounding country made an at
tack. The telegraph lines are all cut, and the
Sheriffs in that vicinity thus prevented from
communicating with the Governor in onler to
call out the militia. One of the coal hoppers
was burned during the night, entailing a loss
of about $4,000. No definite information has
yet been received here as to the reason for
cutting off telegraphic communication. As
soon as the lines are repaired direct com
munication will be had with the Governor.
The Columbus and Hocking Valley Railroad
and Coal Company’s officials went down on a
special train ibis morning. Thev exjiect
further trouble later in the day or'to-aight.
Sheriff McCarthy, of Athens county, sends
the following telegram to Gov. Hoadly from
Buchtel, which is in the neighborhood of
where the riot occurred last night:
“Shooting was commenced by the rioters
about 2 o’clock this morning and continued
about an hour, lam not able to judge of tne
number of men nor to say how many shots
were fired. The firing was general and not
less than 609 or 700 shots were fired. One
hundred or more men were rioting around
with shotguns, rifles and revolvers. One of
the guard was shot dead without provaca
tion, and while pleading for mercy, and two
others were wounded.
THE FIRE RETURNED.
“The guard returned the fire, but I cannot
say whether any person was killed or wound
ed.” The Sheriff is unable to say how soon
another attack will be made. No troops can
be forwarded except on an order from the
Sheriff. The Governor is in readiness to re
ceive such an order.
A Nelsonville special received this after
noon, says: “At 8 o’clock this afternoon the
guards on duty at No. 7 were
suddenly surrounded by a lot of armed
men. 'ln the meantime the coalhop
pers were discovered on fire. The men
had their faces blackened. The telegraph
wires were cut in several places in the valley,
cutting off communication. A newspaper rep
resentative was surrounded and ordered to
leave the town or suffer the consequences.”
The name of the guard killed is William
Hare, an elderly man, and a resident of Lo
gan. The wounded guards are Jacob Left, of
Logan, shot in the leg, and another whose
name is not given, was shot in the head. The
striking miners are concentrating to-night at
Murray City, and the Deputy Sheriff in charge
there has applied to the Sheriff for aid. It is
thought that troops will be called out before
morning. At all the other points in the val
ley everything is reported quiet. Murray City
is about five milos from Snake Hollow, and
not so well guarded.
The rioters are firing on the guards at the
Sand Run and Lorgstreth mines. Both place*
have called for help, and the militia at Lan
caster and New Lexington have been ordered
to be in readiness for marching orders.
Owing to the cutting of the wires, particulars
are obtained with difficulty. Gov. Hoadly
has telegraphed the Sheriffs of Athens, Hock
ing and Perry counties:
"All means in your control should be ex
hausted to suppress the riotous proceedings
and protect life and property before the aid
of the State is called for.”
ANOTHER STORY OF THE TROUBLE.
Another account of the Laumlrymen’s ex
cursion and murder says that between 700 and
800 of the employes of the Empire Steam
Laundry Company, which carries on a large
establishment here and in New Jersey, went
on an excursion this morning. Many of the
male employes of the laundry are men who
have “done time” in different State prisons,
where they had learned this trade. When
the party was a few miles beyond Elizabeth
port, N. J., a gang of roughs began to clean
out the bar and lunch counters. George
Koph, who was in charge of the lunch coun
ter, attempted to protect his wares, hut was
set upon and severely beaten. He was finally
struck upon the head with a beer glass and
killed.
THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.
The glass is supposed to have been thrown
by a man named John Belian. When oppo
site Port Richmond Behan and four compan
ions took a small boat and escaped. Behan,
however, was captured later. The crowd
soon disposed of the dead man’s stock and
next attacked the bar, run by William Kaest
ner, of this city. Seeing the result of Koph’s
resistance, the bartender fled. The rioting
crowd seized kegs of lager and, after drink
ing all they could, theytiurled the remainder,
forty-five kegs, into the river. The Captain
of the barge, seeing that affairs were
getting worse. headed his vessel
for this city. The fighting and rioting con
tinued until a landing was made. Police
were on hand to receive the gang. Koph was
30 years old and has a familv. A son of the
deceased says that he can identify the man
who threw the glass, and his description tal
lies with that of Behani
CHARLESTON’S PROSPERITY.
The Journalistic Review of the Year
Makes a Gratifying Showing.
Charleston, S. C., Aug. 31.—The News and
Courier will publish to-morrow a review of
the trade and commerce of Charleston for the
commercial year, showing a highly satisfac
tory condition of business. The receipts of
cotton for the year were 428,301 bales; rice.
67,476 barrels; naval stores, 328,250 casks and
barrels; phosphate rock, crude, 196,714 tons;
fertilizers, 113,790 tons. The product of local
manufactures, including fertilizers, was $6,-
757,400. The total trade amounted to $04,-
601,190.
There is a steady improvement in the condi
tion of the city. A large number of new
buildings are going up and real estate is ad
vancing in value.
There have been only two commercial fail
ures of consequence during the year, and
neither of these was due to ordinary busi
ness causes. The crop reports from all parts
of the State show that crops are looking
finely and the farmers are doing well. It is
confidently predicted that the city and State
will have a highly prosperous year.
EUFAULA’S FLOUR MILL GONE
A Disastrous Conflagration Raging on
a Sultry Day.
Ettfaula, Ala., Aug. 31.—Eufaula’slargest
industry, Woods’ flouring mill, was razed to
the ground by fire to-day at noon. The loss
is estimated at $85,000. The property is in
sured for $40,000 or $50,000, distributed in
various foreign and local companies.
The mill, warehouse and 2,000 barrels of flour
were totally consumed. Fifty hands are out
of employment. The origin of the fire is
unknown." Mr. Woods, the proprietor, left
the mill fifteen minutes before the alarm was
given. It is supposed that an explosion of
fine dust caused the fire. A tram of freight
cars on a track near the mill was only saved
after several had caught fire. Delay w>s
caused by the engineer having to get up
steam. The day was intensely hot and sev
eral workers were overcome by the heat.

BEATEN TO DEATH ON A PICNIC.
A Bartender Who Resented a Theft with
a Club, Killed by the Crowd.
Port Richmond, S. 1., Aug. 31.—The Em
pire Laundry Association started this morn
ing from New York on the barge Union for
Linden Grove, L. I. On the trip one of the
excursionists attempted to steal sandwiches
from the bar. The barkeeper struck him
with a club. The crowd then pounced upon
the barkeeper, beating him to death with
glasses, plate3, pitchers, and whatever else
they could lay their hands on. The barge was
brought to a standstill and the Captain sent a
man ashore to notify the Staten Island police
of the murder. The police, however, took no
action, and the barge returned to New York.
A Southern Town Devastated.
Marshall, Texas, Aug. 31.—Fire has de

Works, 7 residences, 1 hotel and 1 store. The
loss on the car wheel works is SIOO,OOO. The

GEN. SWAIM'S TRIAL.
Its Postponement Sought on the Ground
that He Cannot Obtain Fair Play.
Washington, Aug. 31.—Gen. Swaim has
secured a postponement of his court martial
from September until November. It is be-
I lieved that he will use every effort to secure a
further postponement, and so to throw the
determination of the case over beyond March
4. His friends assert that he cannot get jus
tice from Secretary Lincoln and President
Arthur, but this seems rather ungracious,
when it is to Secretary Lincoln and to Presi
dent Arthnr that they are under obligations
for the desired postponement. It is understood
that strong political influences were brought
to bear to secure this postponement. Gen.
Swann's intimate relations with President
Garfield render it a difficult matter for the
President to take any action in regard to him.
He does not want to appear to persecute
Gen. Swaim or to make a martyr of him.
That is one reason why the court martial has
gone over until after the Presidential elec
tion. The ostensible reason is that Mr. Calk
ins, of Indiana, Gen. Swaira’s political coun
sel, is busy with the canvass, and cannot
come here until after the votes have been
cast. Gen. Swaim is compelled by the terms
of the order suspending him from duty to
remain in the District of Columbia, and he is
living quietly at his new r house ou the Four
teenth street road. He has an idea that he
may stand a better chance after Arthur and
Lincoln have gone out of office. But this
seems rather queer in Yiew of the fact that
Mr. Blaine, even should he be elected, is
bitterly down upon him and would be glad to
see him out of the army. No Democratic
Secretary of War would be likely to take a
more lenient view.

of the American Association; A. S. Solomons,
of this city, and Judge Joseph Sheldon, of
Hartford, Conn. They will take a prominent
part in the conference for the European dele
gates are very anxious to learn the methods
which have given the American Association,
the youngest of the societies of the
Red Cross, such remarkable success
in so short a space of time. The American
Association of the Red Cross is officially not
quite two years old, and it was recognized tiy
the International Committee on Sept. 2, iBB2.
But it had a provisional existence of about
one year and a half before that date, for, on
June 9, 1881, President Garfield appointed
Miss Clara Barton President of the American
Association of the Red Cross, that day organ-.
iaed in Washington. Yet in its short life it
has done work unexampled in magnitude,
and the success which has attracted the at
tention and won the admiration of the
civilized world. Its ministrations during the
terrible Mississippi and Ohio river floods
have been most conspicuous among its good
deeds. It is in regard to its methods of deal
ing with great national calamities in the time
of peace that the European delegates desire
information. Topics which include these sub
jects have been assigned for discussion by the
American delegates, although Miss Barton is
also to speak out of her abundant experience
on the battles in recent wars.
FRANCE’S ARMS IN CHINA.

Landing an Army.
London, Aug. 31.— Prime Minister Ferry,

Granville, the British Foreign Secretary,

declare war against China, should M. Grevy
refuse to accede to their demand then the
Extreme Left will appeal to the country.

A 841,000,000 Will ill Four Lines.
The will of the late William L. Schaffer,
who for over fifty years was Cashier of
the Girard National Bank, which was to
daV admitted to probate, says a Philadel
phia special, is remarkable for its brevity.
Mr. Schaffer was a bachelor and left an
estate valued at over $1,000,000. The will
is in the decedent’s own handwriting
and is written on a small scrap of legal
cap paper, occupying with signatures
only four lines. The brief instrument is
as follows:
“Philadelphia, July 8, 1880.—1 do
hereby give and bequeath to my sister,
Elizabeth Schaffer, all my real and per
sonal property of whatever description.
“W. L. Schaffer.
“Witness—J. Reeves.”
Mr. Hendrick* In the Senate.
Blaine's “Twenty Years in Congress."
He was but 31 years of age when first
chosen and his record in the House had
not prepared the public to expect the
strength and ability which he displayed
as Senator. He was in the full maturity
of his powers when he took his seat and
he proved able, watchful and acute in the
discharge of his public duties. He was
always at his post, was well prepared on
all questions, debated with ability and
rapidly gained respect and consideration
in the Senate.
Servants of the Stomach*
The new Governor General of Canada
brought with him thirty-nine servants.
That seems a good many. But every
stomach has more servants than that.
Lungs, liver, heart, arteries, veins,
esophagus, kidneys and all the rest
of the party must be kept in prime order
if first-class service is expected. Brown’s
Iron Bitters is the great regulator for all
these. It quiets them when in rebellion,
and keeps them to their work when they
are laay.

Into Thin Air—Butler Goes West to
Effervesce—A Democratic Tidal Wave
a Certainty.
Washington, Aug. 81.— rt friend of mine,
who has just come from New York, brings
really distressing news about-the Republican
National Committee. He says that not only
is there a lack of money, hut that the man
agement has been very bad. The appoint
ment of the ancient Jones, ef Pittsburg, to be
the Chairman of the committee- has turned
out to be a miserable failure. He has but
slight acquaintance with leading Republi
cans, and does not understand his duties at
all. He was selected by Mr. Blaine
because it was supposed that he
would give SIOO,OOO to the campaign,
but it seems that he has done nothing of the
kind. After making a small gift, equivalent
to other members of the committee, it became
necessary to raise SIO,OOO further, and when
Mr. Jones was appealed to he coolly informed
the committee that he would let them have
the money on a well indorsed note. Not a
day passes that prominent men are not driven
away from the Republican headquarters from
the lack of any proper person to receive them.
There seems to be no head nor tail to the
party management, aud the effect is
being widely felt. I hear from Ohio that the
Republicans have no money in the campaign
clutst and are in a very gloomy mood, con
ceaing the State to the Democrats when ex
pressing their real sentiments. This is true
of the Republicans in all portions of the State.
The Democrats are very hopeful of success
both in October and November. Carl Schurs.
has promised to make ten speeches in Ohio.
BUTLER GOES WEST.

the Country, However.
New York, Aug. 31.—Gen. Butler left here

at Muskegon in the evening. From Muskegon
he will go to Chicago and will deliver an
address at Lakefront on Wednesday evening.
Leaving Chicago Thursday morning lie will
reach Minneapolis Friday and deliver an ad
dress at the State fair ol Minnesota in the
afternoon, and on Saturday he will speak at
Northfleld. On Monday evening, Sept. 8.
he will speak at Des Moines, lowa, on Tues
day at Omaha and on Wednesday at Topeka,
Kansas. Returning he will probably deliver
addresses at various- places along the route,
reaching New York about Sept. 15.
A Blaine Boom in Louisiana.
New Orleans, Aug. si.—A convention of
sugar and rice planters favorable to the elec
tion of Blaine ajd Logan met here to-day.
The attendance was not very large. An organi
zation was effected under the title of the Con
servative Republican Party. Resolutions
were adopted’ declaring for protection, in
dorsing the Republican nominees for Presi
dent and Vice President, and appointing an
Committee with instructions to
confer with the District Committee, with a
view to the nomination of candidates for Con
gress in the various districts of the State.
L. S. Bent, recently nominated liy the
Democrats for Congressman for the Harris
burg ;Pa.) district, has withdrawn his name
on tne plea of a pressure of business matters.

DAWSON ITEMS.
Railroad Talk—What Is Thought of the
Sale of the Brunswick and Western
Road—Crop Reports, Etc.
Correspondence of the Morning News.
Dawson, Ga., Aug 30.—This quiet and
usually orderly town ha 9 become famous.
Although the war has been over a week, it is
still the topic of conversation. The knowing
man. who always “told you so,” has made
wonderful discoveries since things have come
to pass and the danger over. Such indi
viduals are essential to the make up of every
community, I suppose, but just where the
benefit of their existence comes in has never
been discovered. Nevertheless, Dawson has
a name and a fame now that history will not
let die. The crime and execution of
George Jones has advertised this
excellent community, as perhaps noth
ing else could have done. From
one end of the United States to the other
people have read of this unfortunate affair.
Correspondents, in reporting the details of the
affair, drew upon their imagination;a little,
and consequently the affair was somewhat
exaggerated. There no doubt were ground*
for apprehension, and the precautionary
movements made were right and proper, but
if the Albany military had never reached
Dawson there wool 1 have been probably no
difficulty. The measures adopted by the civil
authorities would have carried out the sen
tence of the court. But “order reigu3 in
Warsaw” now, and the whole ft art ul scene
lives only in the memory of those who wit
nessed it.
While in Albany, yesterday, the run of con
versation was upon the sale of the Brunswick
and Western Railroad, and the influence such
sale would have upon Albany and her inter
ests. The fact, however, of the election of
Capt. John A. Davis to the Presidency was a
sufficient guarantee that Albany or her inter
ests would not suffer. He is closely identi
fied with the Artesian City in more senses than
one, and he will be equally as just to lier in
terests as to the corporation which has ex
pressed their confidence in his judgment and
capacity. Dawson, however, feels very dif
ferently. It has been long desired by her best
citizens that a road should be bnilt directly
to Albany. Their hopes were greatly quick
ened by the proposed extension of the Bruns
wick and Western from Albany to Columbus.
That dream now vanishes for ever. The
Central could never see a territory so rich
and tributary to its main line as this alien
ated. Her interests in the Brunswick and
Western will not allow this new road to be
built, and if Columbus ever gets a road in this
direction she will have to build it herself.
The agitation of this extension of the Bruns
wick and Western to Columbus will give
Lumpkin and Preston railroad facilities in
the near future. The Central would never
have assisted in building ibis line, it is said,
if it had not some apprehension that the traffic
of Stewart and Webster would have been
diverted into another channel. Capt. Raonl
is a shrewd manager, and keeps his lines well
in hand, and the corporation which would
circumvent his movements will have to
exercise more than ordinary energy and
sagacity.
Railroad building has almost come to a
standstill in Georgia. As an evidence, thi*
week I counted the representatives of twelve >
or thirteen different companies of railroad
contractors in Amencus bidding on the con
struction of thirty-six miles of railroad from
Amcricus to Lumpkin, all responsible gen- 1
tlemen and controlling a large number of rail
road hands, bnt only one could get the job and
the remainder must seek employment else
where.
The drought has no doubt damaged the cotton
crop to a considerable extent, but not so much
as many would like to make believe. There
will lie’ an abundance made to meet the de
mand, and those holding for higher prices
will find themselvesgrievonsly mistaken. One
of the shrewdest business men in Southwest
Georgia, who is now in New York city, wrote
home to his agent here to sell every bale of
cotton as soon as packed. He has been travel
ing extensively among the manufactories, and
says they not only have overplus of manufac
tured goods on hand, but owing to the reduc
tion of time and production of goods thev
have almost as much cotton in store as they
will need during the *oming season unless the
demand is greatly increated. The corn crop
is excellent all through this section, and there
will be no necessity of importing corn another
vesr. Peas and sweet potatoes are doing
well, and especially in those sections
where the showers have been fre
quent. There will be no need of anybody
starving in this region of the country.
Socially. Dawson has many attractions.
Her excellent college for both sexes makemit a
desirable point for the education of children.
She has two excellent newspapers. The Daw
son Journal, presided over by Prof. Cheyes,
and the Appeal— the newest candidate for
public favor—presided over by Prof. AGamv
give evidence of a reading people, an.d, con
sequently, an intelligent community. And
among the many other attractions is an ex
cellent hotel, the Allen House. However
much I may fall to appreciate o'.per excellen
, cies, no one will doubt my capacity to judge
righteouslv as to hotel accomplishments.
