L ad been plotting insurrection for some
time bat the rum -rs that were curren t
were little heeded until the movement cul
minated in an arm'd band of about 130
natives marching from Palama to Hono-
Lj u two miles, and securing entrance to
L naiace grounds. In Honolulu all was
niet during the night, although in most or
tuo native bou-es lights were seen burning
a- midnight. About 10 o’clock m the morn
ine an unusual number of natives and
Chinamen were seen on tbe streets, as if
something verv uncommon was about to

usual.
MARCH OF THE REVOLUTIONISTS.
The rebel rioters formed at Palama, and
about 3 o’clock Tuesday morning marched
(- in t.iat suour >to the city, arriving at
'Duka. the gats of the palace, at 4 o’clock.
"i"-v knocked at the pate and demanded
inlmittar.ee. Then after some parleying
they entered the grounds unopposed. The
Palana rioters were joined by other squads
ii in the street and other localities, and
at our time the retxils upon the palace
grounds must have numbered about 25U.
T.. 0 sir.' was absent from the palace at the

THE MILITARY UNDER ARMS.
A general alarm was spread throughout
t! • city bv means of the telephone ad the
Ho io.u.u Rill 's were immediately ordered

"real deal of excitement, especially among
IV> Portuguese and Chinese. A number of
families lied to the top of the hill and a few
lilies took refuge at the American ligation,
where a corps of marines from the Unite l
States ship Adams was stationed. A cab
inet council was held, with three ministers'
present, the American, Br.tish, French
si Portuguese commissioners and
Cant. Woodward of the United

SPOKANE LIKE SAVANNAH.
’The Burned District to bo Built Up
Better Than Ever.
Spokane Falls, W. TANARUS., Aug. TO.—ln
surance adjusters representing some 200
companies are here and on the way here,
and the work of ascertains the lass has been
in progress for several days. After a care
ful overhauling of the burned dis’nct, it is
found that the total losses, including build
ings and stock, will not reach
over $8,000,000, while conservative
business men who are well acquainted with
the growth of the city and the amounts in
volved, are of the opinion la at t ie loss will
not exceed $0,000,000. The city council
promptly met and extended the fire limits,
and this had a wholes ine effect on property
owners, a targe number of whom are mov
ing debris and making contracts for the
immediate erection of brick and stone
block within tha burned disti lot. Most of
them are to be five, six and seven stories
high.
BRICKS IN PLENTY.
Bricks are being produce l by tho com
pany to the number of 120,000 a day and iu
addition to this the Northern Pacific road
has given special rates on brick and other
building materials from Tac un i and ot or
points wittaig the territory. It is found that
$2,330,000 "ill be paid in insurance at:d it is
estimated that fully $0,000,000 will b > ex
pended here in buildings during the noxt
two years,and that the extra work of build
ing and disbursements incident thereto, will
iuereaso the population. Several sales of
vacant ground within the burned district
have b -on made since the fire, at th • of
SI,OOO per front foot, and, strange to say,
ground is held at an ad
vanced valuation in that part of
tbe city. Numerous representatives
of eastern capitalist and investment cotu
pa ii-s ass hero offering loans for building.
Hatters and telegrams are coining in t > the
same effect from companies having ag mcios
here, and it is believed that every foot of
gr und within the burned district will bo
covered by b ick and granite walls within
the next three years at the outside.
A PACKING HOUSE BURNED.
The Does $300,000 and 700 Mon
Thrown Out of Employment.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 10. —A special from
Hammond, lud., to the Daily News says:
“At 4 o’clock this morning the large pack
ing houst of Georg' H. Ramruond & Cos.,
was burned. The biaz j was caused by the
careless striking of a match near a Darrel of
benzine iu tho oil house. Within two
hours the entire establishment, with the
exception of the new killing department,
was burned to tha ground. The Killing a.d
dressing departments, consisting cf two
large two-story buildings, were saved by
the united efforts of tho Hammond and
Chicago fire departments. The fire throws
some TOO men out of employment. Tho loss
is $30.),000. It will take three mouths to
repair the damage.
SEVEN BUILDINGS BURNED.
Seven buildings were burned, including
two ice houses, two slaughter houses, a glue
works, an oleomargarine factory and
engine house. The structures were sa u
rated with grease and burned rapidly.
Tallow ran into the Calumet rive” and was
fired by sparks. A oouoie of acres oa the
su, faco of the water were on tire at one
time, and the Chicago nnd Atlantic bridge
was in danger of destruction, at the fl m
of tallow was stopped by stretching a num
ber of barges across the stream, and as t o
tallow harde ed it became chilled by the
water. The blaze was ft -.ally extinguished,
i'iie loss oa tho buildings is covered by in
surance.
TAMPA’S M.-VGNIFIOSJNT BAY.
The Chicago Committeemen Greatly
Pleased with What They Saw.
Chicago, Aug. 10.—The representatives
from tho board of trade and lumbermen’s
produce and merchants’ exchanges, who
have been in Florida and other southern
states exploring for commercial purposes,
have returned to Chicago. The main ob
ject of the delegation’s trip south was
to consider the feasibility of the
scheme of deepening tiie Tampa, Fla.,
harbor and making it the terminal point
for South and Central American and West
Indian vessels. It was learned that the
harbor will now admit vessels requiring
twenty-six feet of water to Anchor with
safety near the port, and with dredging
and improvements which are now in con
templation the draught of vessels may be
incresed to 35 feet.
A SURPRISE TO ALL.
The magnitude and superior facilities of
Tampa harbor for a receiving point, wore a
surprise to every one of the delegation and
they express surprise at its not having been
utilized long ago for extensive commercial
relations with South and Central American
countries. The matter will be reported to
the various exchanges and they will be
urged to undertake aud push the scheme to
its completion.
MADS THE MOUNTAINS DANCE.
A Shock of Earthquake Felt, in the
Adiroudacks.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 10.—A shock of
earthquake of forty-five seconds duration
was felt in the Adiroudacks at 8:40 o’clock
this morning. Dishes rattled and buddings
shook in at least a dozen different places.
The motion was from east to west. The
noise accompanying the s.iock was very
distinct and sharp. The snock was partic
ularly hard at warrensburg.

Lancaster, Pa. Aug. 10.—The Pennsyl
vania Iron Works of this city posted a no
tice to-day of a resumption of operations on

EUROPE'S PEACE LEAGPE
SERVO-3CLOARIAN WAR PREPA
RATIONS STOPPED.
England's Attachment to the Triple
Alliance Already Bearing Fruit— !
The United Action of the Powers In
the Case of Crete an Innovation to
the Diplomatists.
[Copyright, 1889, by Sew York Associated Press.]
Berlin, Aug. 10. — Among tho first for
tu: ate fruits of England’s attachment ti
the male alliance are the cessation of the
Servo-Bulgarian war preparations and a
simultaneous suspension of tho Cretan ris
iug. The swiftness of the combined diplo
matic action of England, Germany, Austria
and Italy upon the Cretan question, as pro
pounded by tho Greek note to the powers, is
the result of the previous understanding of
the powers with Turkey on uuited action in
the east.
AN INNOVATION IN DIPLOMACY.
The Greek note which threatened armed
intervention in Crete, inspired as it was by
Russia, met with a decisive response from
the four powers within two days. There is
nothing in modern history like it for
rapidity of diplomatic action with straight
forward assertion of a definite policy.
The porte in a circular note received hero
to-night, issued under concert of the four
powe •, repudiates the charges of the Greek
l ota that Turkish mi-rule is solely responsi
ble for the Cretan insurrection. It asserts
tl.ac the reforms demanded by tho chrr t
ians have been readily granted, and that
the people would remain peaceful if they
were not incited by the Greek agitators.
ONE POINT NOT ALLUDED TO.
The porto’s response does not allude to
the leading point of the arrangement on
which the four powers depend for the set
tlement of the Cretan troubles—nacneiv,
that the Christian governor, with a mixed
Christian and Moslem council, elected by
the people, shall constitute the gov
eminent after the present troubles
are over. A semi-official article in
the .Journal De St. letersbtirg admits
that tho promptitude of tbo decision of
the powers has prevented the movement
from assuming proportions which would
menace the peace of Europe, and that the
Servian government's abandon cent of the
muster en niasse of ail the reserves is cer
tainly due to tho influence of Prince Bis
marck’s league of peace. Only a portion ot
tho reserves is now orders 1 out for a formal
inspection.
LOOKING AFTER SPAIN.
These diplomatic successes inspire the
foreign office hero with brighter hopes of
drawing Spain into the league. Tha Italian
goverment, having better relations with
the Spanish than ha? Germany, has been
entrusted with carrying on the negotiations
at Madrid, and sends Signor Cialdini
us a special envoy. If Signor Cialdini suc
ceeds in perfecting an arrangement similar
II that with Englnnd, Prince Bismarck
will have so ringed Franco with a circle of
powers host.le to the war of revanche as to
guarantee a permanent peace and probable
reduction of armaments.
A DEFINITE PROJECT.
The reported intention of Emperor Will
iam and the empress to visit Madrid, though
denied by some Spanish papers, is a definite
project, associated with the overtures for
an understanding. If the present plans are
can iod out iho emp ror wiJI go in iho im
p rial yacht to Lisbon in September and
thence to Madrid.
Emperor William and Prince Henry ar
rived at Wilhelmshavea this afternoon ami
immediately proceeded by a special train to
Berlin. Prince and Piiucess Bismarck
ca.no to Wilhelmstrasse from Vareziu
to-night.
DELIGHTED WITH ENGLAND.
The emperor’s impressions of England,
as fr >aly made known through his mother,
the 1 x-empres?, are enthusiastically appre
ciative. Writing to his moth r from Osb >rue
house after the naval re rio-v a Hpltnead,
the emperor described the magnificent
view of the line of the English war 3hips,
ten miie, long, passing before him us a sur
p.'ismg proof of the tremand >us strength of
Great Brita n, conveying new ideas of her
preponderance of power throughout the
world. The einperor’s sojourn at Osborne
house has certainly tended to renew the
friends,tips previously existing between the
members of the two royal families.
QUEF.N VICTORIA’S HAPPINESS.
Queen Victoria sent a telegram to the ex
empress de scribing the happiness she experi
enced from her grandson’s presence and the
warmth of feeling he showed toward her
self and hor children. The ex-empress,
in responding, thanked her mother
for the good new3, which she received with
deen joy. Tne visit of the Prince of Wales
to Bariin, which is arranged for the end of
September, wifi seal tho ronewal of family
cordiality. The empress came to-day from
Potsdam and Pri cess Henry, with her
baby, from Darmstadt, to meet their hus
bands here.
FRANCIS JOSEPH’S ARRIVAL.
The Emperor Francis Joseph’s arrival is
timed for Monday afternoon at 5 o’clock.
The ceremonial of his reception will be
similar to that of King Humbert’s, al
though ho has asked, ou account of his
recent afll.ctiou, a very quiet welcome. The
Unter Den Linden will be decorated
in the style usual 011 the occasi >n
of a monarch’s entry into the city.
Popular curio ity is not excited over the
visit, t ie public interest being centered in
the czar’s corning, which is now fixed for
Aug. 20. T heburgoniasterappliedtothefor
eigii office for advice as to how to prepare
for the czar’s visit. Ho was told that it
was doubtful if the czar would eater Bor-
Un, although he would stay four days at
Potsdam. His morbid dread of facing a
crowd prevents the visit to tha capital.
The programme fir the vi-it is subject to
alterations, depending upon the police re
ports regarding the safety of tho various
routes.
THE PRESENT PROGRAMME.
According to th present arrangements,
the Kus.sia 1 imperial family will leave the
Peterhof palace on board the Durjava on
Aug. 24, reaching Stettin on the following
day. The czarina and her children will
proceed the.,co to Copenhagen, while the
czar, accompanied by Emperor William,
will come to Potsdam, where reviews and
state banquets will be held. The cz ir will
afterward go'bv rail to Kiel to witness the
naval review. From thero be will go to
Copenhagen. Numberk of Russian de
tectives linve already been stationed at
Berlin, Stettin aid Potsdam. The officials
of th - Russian embassy assert that the czar
intends to hold a limited reception at tho
omb'is.y, and the lavish preparations that
are being made confirm the staiem3nt. The
workmen ara engaged day and night in
decorating tho interior ot the building.
A GERMAN RAP AT BOULANGER.
The KtC'z Zeitang, referring to the
statement of Geu. Boulanger that he used
the secret fund to buy tne right to inspect
the papers of the military attache of the
German legation, sava that Col. Villauine,
while attache at Paris, caught a clerk in the
act of copying the documents. This is the
only foundation for Geu. Boulauger’s story.
A DEFICIT IN THE BUDGET.
The imperial budrot discloses a deficit of
20,000,000 m :rks. This is cniefi v duo to the
deeliue in the yield from tbe refer r.e l sugar
taxes, which is 24.000,000 marks under the
estimates. The reformed tax s burden the
domestic sugar coi.sumption wit 1 20,0 iO.OOO
marks without limiting the export bounty
system. The coming budget will be further
burdened with the demand for 8,000,000
marks to ulter canuons for the use of the
smokele-s powder.
The delegates from IG3 mines met at
Borchum to-day and decided 11 send repre
sentatives 11 the Silesian mines t, a: range
for concerted action. The authorities dis
favor the coalition, but theproj ut promises
to succeed.
The chiofsof the Bavarian =_ eialKts have

FOUR CARS TnLRBCOPED.
One Person Killed and Light Badly
Injured.
Charlotte, N. Y., Aug. 10.—A collision
occurred near Forest Lawn, oa the Rome,
W atortown and Ogdensburg railroad, about
8 o’clock this morning. The night express,
bound west for Niagara Falls, ran into the
Rochester train, which was ti cking down,
telescoping four cars of the train and kill
ing one person and badly injuring eight
others.
The person killed was Miss Emma Perrin
of St. John’s, Mich., aged 23. iiur father
and motuer were on the tram.
John Jay of Oswego, died at the city
hospital from ms injuries.
Mr. Perrin was bruised and injure 1 in
ternally.
Mrs. Perrin has her collar-bone broken,
and is otherwise injured.
Andrew Tiffany, the engineer of the
steamer iiaznlton, of Oswego, vas badly in
jure 1 internally, uud has since 3 iod.
Mrs. Lewis Moore or Gratwick, N. Y.,
had her right leg broken.
Lowell C. Brown of Sherman, N. Y.,
had his right leg crushed at the knee. It.
will be amputated. His left fut is badly
crushed. He will probably recover. He is
a salesman.
Miss Sarah M. Sweet, of West Wolcott,
had her hip injured,
Frederick BSI.I of Cheboygan, Mich.,
sult'ered a compound fracture of the left
leg.
Miss Louisa Moore of Landstown,
Oauada, had her right leg broken.
scene of the accident.
Tho accident was at Forest Lavu station,
about seven miles from Windsor Beach,
whore many Rochester people are sp.aiding
the summer. Those at Forest Lawn who
come to the city daily to do business, do
on the “Stub” train, which runs between
Windsor Beaoh and Forest Lawn, This
stub train had just run up to Forest Lawn
and was standing there waiting for the
passengers wueu the Thousand Elands fast
express, which should leave Oswego at 4
o’clock a. m., catne flying along. Although
all was done that could possibly be dme
to stop the train, it crashed into
the stub. The rear car of the
latter was completely telescoped and tne
engine of the express train was driven com
pletely through, it and the engine and oar
were thrown upon tho platform of t„e
depot. Tho coaches of the express wur •
thrown into the ditch and piled up iu ail
conceivable shapes.
A SPECIAL MADE UP.
A special train was immediately dis
patched to the scene of the accident from
Rochester, and the injured were placed on
cot-> and taken to that city, and placed iu
the city hospital. Just where the blame
for the accident is to be placed is
hard to state. One report has it that the
Forest Lawn train bad no flag out. An
other is that tho express had orders to run
no farther than Forest Lawn. Tha ex
press was late to-day. The railway oific als
here are very reticent, and are not inclined
to give out auy particulars.
A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
The Slaughter Brought on by a Dis
pute Over Taxes.
Frankfort, Mich., Aug. 10.—A terrible
encounter occurred at Otter creek, twenty
miles north of Frankfort this morning, in
which Charles T. Wright, president of t,.e
Otter Creek Lumber Company of Racine,
Wis., shot aud killed under Sheriff Neil
Marshal and Dr. Frank E. Thurbe . It
seems that Wright had not paid taxes on his
mill at Aral lake t iwnship for several years
and had a suit with ttie town, about it.
About a month ago the sheriff attached a
large lot of logs. Wright tried to replevin
them, but could not get the proper bonds,
and bis mill lay idle for want of logs to cut.
It is thought that Wright, with a force of
men, attempted to gain possession, and in
tbe inelee Supervisor Thurber was kilie 1
first, and tbie marshal soon after. It
is rumored that over sixty meii
wore engaged in the fray, and thero
may have been others wounded. Tbe mar
shal was a brother-in-law to Lewis Sands,
tha millionaire lumberman of Manistee.
The propeller Dewar, with a force of o:fi
e rs and a picked comp my of men, has
left for Otter creek to capture Wright,dead
or alive.) It is sai l that the barge Seymour,
owned by Wright, has taken him and de
parted for the Wnconsin shore.

PASSING THROUGH ROME.
Rome, Ga., Aug. IB. —There has boon a
great deal excito.neut here to-day over
rumors of a duel between Patrick Calhoun
of Atlanta and John D. Williamson, presi
dent of the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum
bus railroad. More excitement was caused
when Col. Williamson passed through Rome
about noon to-day on his way to tho field of
honor in Alabama. Telegrams were re
ceived by Sheriff Jenkins early this morn
ing from Gov. Gordon, asking him t arrest
thejpriucipals at all hazards. President Will
iamson arrived iu Rome about 11:311 o’clock
ou his special car. Before it got within the
city limits ho got ou tho engine
iu his shirt sleeves and rode
through the city in that stylo to
avoid recognition. His special car went
over to the Rome and Decatur railroad iu
West Rome 1,0 be sent via that road t > its
nresont terminus, Attalla, where the duel
was to take place.
A LITTLE PISTOL PRACTICE.
While waitingin West Rune Col. William
son dismounted and took istol ' ractice on
the trees. He was joined bore by John King,
cashier of tho Merchants’ National Bank,
who was ti act as his second, and Dr. Henry
Batey who was to ho his physic.an. Deputy
Sheriff Matt.is was waiting in Wo.t Romo
to arrest Col. Williams m. He entered
tiie private car and took a seat, think
ing tout ho would make the arrest
as soon as the railroad president entered.
Coi. Williamson’* party saw into the affair
at once, and the engine was cut loose ail
went a considerable distance up the track,
where the party boarded it, and tho officers
nf the law were left 'lttiug in tho car. Col.
Williamson and his friends went ou aero*
the state line into Alabama.
Patrick Calh 11:1 and his parly, consisting
of Capt. Henry Jacsson, who was his so -
ond, and Henry Grady, left Atlanta via
the Georgia Pacific to meet them. Gov.
G irdon nad telegraphed to tho governor of
Alabama to stop the duel if possible.
So that the duelists had another
gauntlet to run. At 5 o’clock
this afternoon, Col. Williamson
and party were at Cedar Bluff, Ala., wait
ing for the Calhoun party. Tim Inst named
party soon came on the north bound train.
FLEEING FROM TIIE OFFICERS.
The seconds, Mes rs. Jackson and King,
began to make preparations, when several
officers came up to arrest the parties. The
entire party then went up to Haynes’ station,
five miles above. Here they were making
the preliminary arraugeme ts when several
deputy sheriffs rode up withdouble-barreie i
guns leveled at them. Thep >rty scrambled
011 President Williams’ private car, which
was stau ling in waiting, and went up three
miles higher. Here they were a tain
interrupt,mi by sthe officers of the law.
Boarding the train a ain they went a mile
or two fArthur up, where unmolested the
r relimi aries were arranged by the second <,
Messrs. King and Jack on. The distance
was 111 paces. Mr. Calhoun’s side won m
the toss for the choice of position.
PULLED TIIE TRIGGER.
After Capt. Jackson had s fleeted it for
him the duelists faced each other. Mr.
King counted three and gave the command
to fire. Mr. Williamson fired five shots.
Mr. Calhoun fired only one. None
cf tho shots drew blood. .Mr. Cal
houn then askefl Mr. Williamson if
he would unconditionally withdraw
the insulting epithets he had applied to
him on Thursday in Atlanta. Mr. William
son replied that he would not. Mr. Cal
houn, after talking to liis second, repeated
the question. Mr. Williamson replied that
be wou'd withdraw the epithets it Mr.
Calhouu would retract what he said so far
as it referred to his (Williams m’s) charac
ter and veracity. Mr. Calhoun agreed to
this, aud fired his four remaining shots into
theair. Tho duelists arrived in Rome to
night about 9 o’clock. The code duello was
perfectly observed in every respe t.
WHAT LED TO THE TROUBLE.
In the committee on railroads Thursday,
whiie the Olive bill was under discussion,
J. I). Williamson, president of tho Chat
tanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad,
according to the dispatches of Friday’s
Morning News, said that his road had
been bought by tbe West Point Terminal
in Georgia anil Wall street, and unle w tbe
Olive bill passed, they would be gobbled
or' throttled. Mr. Calhoun replied that
this was far from R ing true, mid that
the Chattanooga, It mo and Columbus had
attempted to unload on tiie Central, and
had made overtures to that end. That this
had not succeeded as due to hi-efforts
(Calhoun’.-) aud his opposition to it had de
layed his being general c mnsel of the Cen
tral two years. Further, William \V il
ia 11-on had at that tune offered him flat
tering inducements t • tie general counsel of
the Chattanooga, Rune and Columbus
company.
l o this Mr. Williamson replied that Mr.
Calhoun's statement "asai absolute fal-e
--hood, 1 hat lie had had no coiiver-atlon with
Mr. Calhoun at the time Sjiocifled, butitoc
ourred earlier when his road "as merely a
narrow gauge.
GUN. ALEXANDERS STATEMENT.
Gen. 11. P. Alexander, president of th"
Central railroad, readied Atlui la at 5
o’clock Friday evening. Couo ivi ig the
statements of Mr. Calhoun a .and Mr.'Wil
l.am-on, Gen. Alexander seat to the Con
st) iff ion the following statement:
I have seen the statements iu the pa(w*rs.
My recollection of the matter is as follows:
Mr. \Villininson came from Atlanta to
Savannah a Khort while after tbe election
in January, 18S7, which placed me at the
head of tho Central road and Mr. Calhoun
and his brother ou the board of directors.
He came with a plan to build a road from
Chattanooga to Curroilto >, utilizing the
narrow gauge roml from Rome to Cedar
town, and to soli the same to the Central,
the road to lie built upon bonds which
the Central should indorse aud receive
for the indorsement a majority
of the stek of that road. I
discus-ed the matter with him quite at
length, u ni understood from him that he
I ad discus ed it withothersof our directors,
i listened to ail he had to say and referred
him to Mr. Hollins, who was at that time
our vice president and financial agent in
New York. I would have been willing for
the Central to have taken an interest in t ie
road upon fair terms. Mr. Williamson
went to New York, aud a short while
afterward I met him there and
found that he and Mr. Hollins had
agreed together upon a plan by which Mr.
Williamson was to build the road on bonds
indorsed by t'lo Central, to lease it t> tho
Central and to give tho Centful a majority
of its stock. My rec llcothm is that the
1 ontrnl was to iud rs $18,003 (ier mile of
first mortgage bonds, and Mr. Williamson’s
road was to issue 111 addition SI3,OiXJ per
mile of income bonds to a construction
compiuy und about tho same amount
of stock. Tiie Central road was to
receive only 51 per cent. of
Uie stock, none of the bonds, either income
or first mortgage, for the indorsement. It
was to lease t/ o road, paying to Mr. Will
iamson’s road 40 per cent, of its gross
earnings for the wtiolo term of tho lease. A
preliminary agreement to about this effect
had been signed by Mr. Williamson and
Mr. H Bins, subject to my ratification, but
I declined to ratify It, hoc 1 use I considered
these terms to > onerous for the Central. The
mattei was fully discussed by tho members
of our board 111 New York and others inter
ested in the Central property. Mr. John
Calhoun aud Mr. Pat Calhoun both earn
estly and actively opposed a-y contract at
all with Mr. Williamson, anil urged instead
that the Central should extend tho Savan
nah, Griffin and Non ti Alabama railroad
to Decatur, Alu. Their position wa that
the Central should not build at all from
Carrollton to Chattanooga, but should
wait until tho existing lease of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad expired, aud to
endeavor first to secure a Clmttan >oga
connection by a lease of that road. They
said that if they were overruled by this
project to build from Carrollton to Chatta
nooga, t ey would insist absolutely upon
the extension being built for and by the
Central road, and that they could not
psrinit tho Central property to be loaded
down by the trade proposed. The position
of the Calhouns resulted iu defeating
Williamson’s proposed trade with
the Central railroad. Aud it mad ',
I think, some feeling toward Mr.
Calhoun on tne part of tne gentlemen In
terested with Mr. Williamson. So impor
tant did i deem this matter that l put my
views in writing against the employment of
construction companies to build the exten
sions for the Central system. Wince tiie
('hat 1 auo >ga, Rome and Carrollton road has
been completed, I have frequently under
stood from our friends iu New York teat
the parties there who own it were dusirious
of selling it to us, and wore making over
ture, to that effect, and sucti an overture
was made to me in person by one of the
i siding gentle non connect* i wish it within
tho pnt four mouths.
Air. Williamson also made the proposi
tion to lease tne Savannah, Griffiu and
North Alabama railroad, but. it involved
the Central’s surrendering or losing some
>333,030 or $103,000 of interest, nn i it was
declined, as we are not iu tho business of
leasing mads to other people, but of running
them ourseives. His ro id has tha same
facilities for doing all the business it can
command ~ver the Central that tho Air-
Line, the 'A estern of Alabama, tne Atlanta
and W st Point or any other of our connec
tions have.
MR. WILLIAMSON SEEN.
At a late hour last night Coi. Williamson
was seen at tho Kimball. When told of
Gen. Alexander’s statement, he-aid:
“For cerlai 1 reasons, per* mal to myself
that I cannot discuss wit 1 you, I don’t care
to-night to make auy reply to Gen.
Alex mder’s interview. Butin duo time I
will answer fully. Meanwhile your readers
must not infer that I admit tho correctness
of anything that Gen. Alexander lias stated
on ti o subject, s > far a- Lho uino applies to
mo or iny action in tiie mattei.”

Posse and U Greeted With Volleys
of Bullets.
Con sells ville. Pa. Aug. 10.—The Hun
garians made another raid this morning on
the workmen at the Moyer coke plant salt
drove them from work. Sheriff Duuoajx
and Officers Franks and Simnn attempted
to arro t fifteen of the rioters, when
they ” ere sot, up in by the mob.
S eriff Duncan was I, rriblv beatou and
left for and ad. Officers Shunu and Franks
escaped by running. After beating Sheriff
Duucua, tiie Huns br ke tiie windows ami
and sirs of the conn nny’s store. The sheriff
organized a po-s.> this ufiernoon to arresk
tbe raiders. 1 lie Huns do not appear to
understand that the strike is settled, ami
regard the workmen as “black sheep.”
THE HUNS INTRENCHED.
When the sheriff and hig posse went to
Mercer this afternoon to arrest tne retting
Huns, they found none insight. Tiie (xisje,
howovty, surrounded tha houses in the valley
and intended to arrest every Hun iu them.
I hoy found but two. Tims > w -re placed undt-F
guard at Squire Murphy’s office. Tho pos-o
then went uo the lull and arrested two
nr ire. Word "as received that Huns to
the number of 15t) were entrenched bdiind
a stone fence armed with pistols, knives
and clubs and wero awaiting the coming of
tho officers. The men sepira od and sur
rounded the unruly foreigners.
When they came within seventy-five yards
of tho Huns, tiro was open s! upon t m offi
cers. It was promptly returned, and tho
Hums broke and ran. No oue was hurt on
either side. Sheriff Miller collected biz
men, and formed a plan of action.
A MARCH ON MORGAN.
The Huns were meantime out of sight,
anil the officers started toward Morgan
station, whore it was learned that the Hun*
had collected. On the way through tha
fields and over the hills the posse was fired
upon several times by hiding Huns. When
the men arrived at Morgan station they
found the Huns in their rendezvous, a
soup house. After parlaving awhilw
some of the rioters came out and
fired upon the officers, who were upon tha
bluff overlooking the house. A this tima
it cannot bo learned if any person iri either
party was injur'd. They were still fight
ing at the lust report.
ALL WELL ARMED.
The Huns are well annul with revolvers
and knives, and some have muskets. Tho y
are determined to resist arrest and consid
erable trouble is anticipated in dislodging
them from their strongholds. A. C.
Duncan, tiie officer assaulted by tho Huna
this morning, was badly cut about the face
by stones thrown by tho rioters.
No cause can be assigned for
tho action of the Huns in
first, assailing the workmen at C a 1 brook.
After tho scale had been fixed at the con
ference ut Kverson, t!:e matter was inter
preted to thorn, aid they appeared per
fec 1 y willing to resume work, but no
sooner had the English speaking mincra
started to work than tho Huns broke out.
WILD WITH LIQUOR.
They have boon drinking ull the tima
during the strike, and to-day when they
resisted arrest by tho poise were wild with
liquor. Tbe four Hun* arrested at Moyer
wero taken to Uuioutown this evening.
They acted as if they expected to be r >scued
by their c luntrymau, but wore easy to con
trol until just before boar ling the train.
They then attempted to escape, aud very
nearly succeeded, as tne guard was not
large.
