written his letter accepting the mavor-

He declares that he is for tariff reform,
and will vote for the Democratic national
nominees, but says nothing of the State
ticket. He says he has never had any
sympathy with the Know nothing move

that he, himself, was the author of the

left the city for Easley fur the purpose of

assemble near ttie furnaces and make
night hideous with their orgies. Tbe otti
cers on dismounting from the train saw
fully 150 persons scattered around the
smouldering fires, most of whom were
gambling. They made a dash for the
crowd, and eaeti officer caught one man.
The advent of the officers produced the
greatest confusion among the negroes, and
they scattered in every direction.
The officers left Eusley at 11 o'clock.
Just as the train was about to start the
negroes opened lire on it. Several bullets
struck the c >aches and buried themselves

the negroes were wounded. The officers
shot straight into the crowd.
The pris >ners were brought to Birming

London Stirred I p Over the Inettiolencj of
the City’s Giianli.uis.
London, Oct. 16.—The Whitechapel
murders are likely to become a political
factor. A debate involving serious issues
for the Ministers will probably arise over
the police, units* Mr. Matthews, Home
Secretary,and Sir C. vVarreu,Commissioner
or'the Metropolitan Police, are obliged to
resign. The popular rage over the inca
pacity of the police service, which has
beeu revealed with damaging clearness iu
the Whitechapel murders, will place the
Government in a dangerous position. Tne
Tory organs have now joined the Liberal
newspapers in a clamor for the dis
missal of both these officials, aud
the subsequent reorganization of
the police of London, uot as a
semi-military force, but on a purely civil
basis. The agitation has been consider
ably fomented by the commission of the
Pall Mall Gazette for inquiring into the
circumstances of crime in London. The
evidence already published proves that
the metropolis is practically in tbe hands
of a gang of criminals, and that stores and
shops in the leading thoroughfares are
robbed frequently in open daylight.
Statistics printed of some of the leading
streets show that 75 per cent of th i stores
have been robbed within the past two years.
The resident’s have ceased to ask the po
lice for protection, finding that their ap
peals are useless. Of course Lord Salis
bury’s government is held to be largely at
fault in this, and the voice of the com
munity throws tbe entire blame upon
them.

order, It is recalled that, at the Cincinnati j white man residing at Savageville, iu the
General Assembly, Barry presided over a
caucus which dictated the election of every
body’ except Powderly. Barry being then
elected to the General Executive Board for
the first time. The great fight was over the
General Secretaryship, Robert D. Layton,
ot Pittsburg, who is again a candidate,
having refused to stand for re-election.
The candidates were Fred Turner and
Gilbert Rockwood. Barry ooposed the
latter because he had been Layton’s as

Powderly is aware that iu Pittsburg there

New York, Oct. 16.—The Equal Rights
party of the State of New York, which be-
iieves that “the hand that rocks the cradle
should rule the world,” in State conven
tion at 156 West Twenty-third street, has
nominated a full State ticket, with the ex
ception of a candidate for judge of the Su
preme Court, that place being left vacant.
The candidate of the party for President,
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, delivered a brief
lower part of Accomack county, celebrated
his fiftieth birthday yesterday by visiting
a neighboring place called Little Hill,
where he got full of liquor. Returning
home he thrashed his wife, and having
armed himself with a double-barrel shot
gun, went in search of a negro who he said
had insulted him. He found the negro
plowing in a neighboring field and opened
fire on him, striking him in the le f t shoul
der, side aud leg, inflicting serious wounds.
Bailey was on the point of emptying the
second barrel when the negro took shelter
behind his mule until his assailant could
be disarmed by persons who were near tbe
scene. Both Bailey’s wife and the negro
swore out warrants for his arrest, but when
the sheriff went to arrest him he had
flown to parts unknown. Bailey’s wife’s
brothers are highly incensed against him,
' and if they can catch him will handle him
] roughly.

heads of departments and the Com

to Government exhibits. The commis

a representative Government exhibit at
the exposition, not only on account of the
merit of the things the Government can
count for. The ohartcr of tne bank re
quired it to be mananaged by thirteen
trustees. Only three w re elected, and
they were J. O. Rutter, Thomas P. Tail-
man and Albert P. Smith. As trustees or
directors, those gentlemen elected them
selves president, cashier and assistant
cashier respectively, about ten years ago.
The trustees then passed this resolution :
