BLOODY RIOT AT A CAMP.
lio Blacks Killed and a White
Family Alarmed and Hurt.
Ike Cause of the Trouble—Black
Gamblers Resist Being Fined-They
Get Drunk and Attack the Manager
0 f a Turpentine Still—Bullets Fly
Thick and Fast.
Valdosta, Ga.. Sept. 30.—News reached
Ibis city this morning of a riot four miles
(rom town that occurred last night, in
which two men lost their lives and a
hoie family escaped with severe bruises
|t; wounds. The details of the riot
bristle with the desperate boldness of a
uecro gambler, and is a typical illustra
tion of the dangers that are assumed by
turpentine men in almostevery section.
The scene of the tragedy is four miles
from tow n on the Savannah, Florida and
Western 1 ad toward Savannah, at the
turpentine still formerly owned by Mr.
j Conolly, but which has recently
beer, bought by I.ueas & McNeil, and
operated by them. Mr. A. Gillispie is
the superintendent of the still and it was
he and his family who became involved
in the terrible struggle with several of
the negro hands.
It seems from best information gath
ered by the Morning Nkws correspond
eot. that there is a rule among all tur
pentine men to fine employes who are
found gambling in the camps, and this
rule is generally embodied in the con
tracts with laborers. The fine at Lucas
SMcNeil's camp was fixed at $5, and the
enforcement of that fine on yesterday
tras the cause of the trouble.
Twonegroe3, Mack Adams and Tom
Smith, were caught gambling a few days
ago. and when the hands were paid off
yesterday, the regular fine was deducted
from their pay. Both of them came to
town yesterday and loaded up with
whisky and returned to the camp ready
for a fight. They went to Gillispie s
house where he and his family were at
supper and began cursing in a threaten
ing manner, when Gillispie got up from
the table and endeavored to quiet them.
A FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
One or two of the other hands took
sides with Gillispie, and in a few minutes
a tree light ensued. Mrs. Gillispie
rushed from the house to aid her husband,
when an old negro, who had been work
ing for him. took a hand in the riot. The
negro atsai.ants succeeded in wrenching
Gillispie's rifle from his hand, and then
they opened fire upon the family. One
bullet struck Gillispie in the hand and
came out near the elbow. Another
struck the old negro. Bob Butler, in the
side and came out on the
other side. Mrs. Gillispie was bad
ly brui-ed up in the scuffle,
and noth of the small children were
bruised up by being run over and knocked
down.
The two negroes kept up the fire upon
the house for a few minutes and then
went oil together. A little later a fusil
lade commenced between them, and this
morning one of them, Tom Smith, was
found dead with two bullet holes in his
“ eaa .\. Butler died this morning.
Gillispie brought the news of the
trouble to town about midnight last night,
and Dr. Rose of this city went out to at
tend the wounded. The sheriff and dep
nties went out on a search for Mack
Adams this morning, but did not succeed
in finding him. They arrested one negro
Js accessory to the trouble, but nothing
detnite could bo learned from him.
The two negroes stated to someone
here yesterday that they intended to have
some trouble with Gillispie. Both of
them were negro tramps and were very
desperate characters.
T e coroner carried a jury out this
eremng aud the disclosures made by his
m ld s, ’8 at '°n are awaited with intorest.
he laborers at Lucas & "McNeil's still
are usually quiet, and there would have
°een no trouble but for the two tramp
gamblers. A gentleman here remarkod
rj ,•' B'at a negro gambler was tho
mestdesperato character in the world,
anu the statement seems to be verified by
th , j ! °b Smith, one of the killed, was
wie tallest negro known in this section,
measuring (l feet aud 11 inches.

HARD FEELING AT FALL RIVER.
The Manufacturers Believed to Be
Bent on a Fight.
_?*“ Ri J er ’ Mass ■ SePt- 30 -Since the
repot ts of yesterday's meetings between
operatives and the manufacturers were
published ,n the local papers there has
been considerable discussion among the
nmnt P fTv tiV, S - The overwhelming senti
pressed Ii re further resistance ex
-1 rt_sse<i at the weavers' inostimr t<-\
gether with the
the conference between the
hincdT* ‘'''l nian ufacturers, hale com
tuned to make much hard feeling aud
themrt,?u any bitt , er ex P r <'“'°s on
the part °f the men who are in close con
tact with the working people. To-dav
many people have the idea that it is the
intention of the manufacturers to fight
■the spinners’ union, and more particu
larly to fight Robert Howard, their suc
cessful leader. At the conference
be. ween the representatives of the
spinners and manufacturers it was
noticeable that Secretary Kounsville
vas not so courteous as usual towards
the popu.ar secretary of the spinners.
1 his seemed so striking that it was after
wards remarked upon by the labor rep
resentatives who were present, Secretary
Howard among the rest. At the meeting
of the weavers Secretary Howard was
denounced because he sought a hearing
for the spinners before consulting with
the Amalgamated Association.
THREATENED POLITICALLY.
So bitter was this feeling that one
weaver called upon those assembled to re
member Secretary Howard's action when
his name should be brought forward for
political honor. This sentiment was not
onl-V allowed by the presiding officer, but
it was met by the general body with
many demonstrations of approval. It is
rumored that certain mill overseers are
doing much to foster this feeling against
Secretary Howard, and it is believed they
are simply reflecting the opinions
of the manufacturers employing them.
Secrotary Howard regards this
feeling as of very little consequence so
far as lie is concerned personally. fie
states that he is hired by the mule spin
ners union to do the best he can for its
interests. If the weavers' union, or the
Amalmagated Association cannot obtain
hearings before the manufacturers’, he
believes it results simply from a lack of
firm organisation among the people sup
posed to be fully represented.
HOWARD STII.L STRONG.
That Secretary Howard still retains
much of his old time strength here,
despite the talk now so prevalent against
him, is shown by the warm words spoken
of his course by business men and prop
erty ow ners who are feeling the discom
forts arising from the prolonged idleness
of 20,000 people.
An attempt was made last evening to
induce the Globe yarn mule spinners to
return to work. Compromise prices were
ottered some weeks ago. A meeting of
the Globe yarn men will be held during
the week, probably to-morrow. These
attempts are being made by the over
seers of the mill, not by the union au
thorities.
FLYING JIB A FLYER.
Hitohed to a Running Mate He Paces
a Milo in 1:69 1-8.
Chillielothe, 0., Sept. 30.—The name of
Flying Jib is on the tongue of every horse
man here to-night on account of the won
derful mile paced by this celebrated geld
ing at the kite track to-day. Flying Jib,
hitched to a running mate, paced a mile
in the phenomenal time of 1:50G, lower
ing the record of 2:01’* 4 made by West
mont in Chicago in 1384 at this style of
racing by 2! 4 seconds. The performance
does not constitute a record, as this meth
od of pacemaking is not recognized as
legal and has no bearing on Robert J.'s
valid record of 2:0H;.
At 1 o’clock Jib was brought on the
track, and in the presence of 1,000 people
was sent a warming up heat in 2:15. In
a few minutes he again came on the
track, driven by Andy McDowell, and
after scoring once, his driver nodded for
the word “go.” Up tho track the lieet
footed animal went without a skip,
while the spectators held their breath in
amazement. Ho came on the home stretch
faster and faster every step. When the
time of 1 j was announced the specta
tors could scarcely believe it. and still
more dumbfounded were they when the
last half of the mile was announced as
being made in 58 1 . seconds.
This demonstrates very clearly that the
Chillicothe track is undoubtedly the fast
est in the country, It being as smooth as a
table. All the visiting horsemen here,
and the city is full of them, say if the
weather is favorable this week more rec
ords will be smashed at this meeting than
at any meeting held this year.

BAD BLOOD OVER POLITICS,
A Populist Shot Dead by a Democrat
in Wayne.
The Dead Man Accused of Sending
Threatening Letters Warning His
Slayer to Quit the Democratic Party.
The Popdlists- cf the County Ac
cused of Trying to Intimidate White
and Black Democrats by Threaten
ing Them With Death.
Jesup, Ga., Kept. 30.—News reached
here this morning of the shooting and
killing of W. K. Rogers, by J. B. Kurls,
yesterday afternoon at Rich, in this
county, about fourteen miles from this
place.
Owing to the swollen coudition of the
creeks from the recent heavy rains, it is
difficult to get the full particulars
of the killing. However, the most relia
ble information received is that Mr. Kurls
is a staunch democrat and Rogers was a
populist. For several weeks past the
third partyites ofthat section have been
threatening the democrats, and especially
Mr. Surls, v lie being the one upon whom
vengeance had been sworn. For the
past few days he lias been receiv
ing letters instructing him to have
his business in shape in the next five days
and leave tlie country or quit the Demo
cratic party, or lie would be severely
dealt with. Rogers was supposed to be
the one who wrote the anonymous letters,
and being spoken to in reference to tho
matter, a difficulty followed as stated
above.
A SERIODS STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The populists of this county have be
come very threatening lately towards the
: democrats and the negroes who anticipate
! voting with them. Last night P. H. Hurst
i and Williams, negroes addressed
ja _ crowd of their race at Sand
■ Hill in behalf of the Ilemo
' cratic party. After the speaking, it is
I said, a desperate negro named Drake
drew his rifle and attempted to shoot
Williams for speaking democratic prin
ciples, and no doubt would have suc
ceeded had not L. R. Aiken
interfered and put a stop to
the difficulty upon his property.
There are quite a number ol negroes
in the county who have always voted
with the democrats in state and county
elections and will continue to do so if
they are not molested at the polls. A
great many of them, no doubt, will stay
away from the polls on account of fear,
as many threats have been made against
them if they vote other than a populist
ticket.
SOLID FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
The negroes of this district are practi
cally solid for the democrats
and have passed resolutions con
demning the populists and
the means they are using to keep voters
from the polls, and have appealed to the
colored voters of the country districts to
vote a democratic ticket in the district
where they live or come here and east
their ballots without molestation. This
place can boast of having the best colored
citizens of any place double its size in
this state and they recognize the fact that
the democrats are their best friends and
have always cared for them when they
were in trouble.
GAVE LIFE FOR BEAUTY.
A Chicago Girl Dies While Having
Facial Blemishes Removed.
Chicago, Sept. 30.—Belle White, 24
years of age, daughter of Benjamin S.
White, s wealthy lumberman, died at
W’oods hotel this morning about 10
o'clock, while under treatment for the
removal of facial blemishes. Death
was caused, it is supposed, by the
use of cocaine to deaden the pain from
the application of an electrical current,
which constituted the means of treat
ment. The operator was Dr. Sophia Santa
of the Dr. Sophia Santa Company. Eliza
James, the business partner of Dr. Santa,
was assisting in the work at tho time. In
one hand Dr. Santa held the electric
needle and in the other a sponge satur
ated with a 4 per cent, solution of
cocaine, which was applied at intervals
tu deaden the intense pain caused by the
needle. She had almost completed the
treatment when Miss White gasped for
breath, and before the operator could as
sist her she slid from the chair to the
floor, dead.
BRAINERD SAVED BY RAIN.
The Downpour Came Just in Time to
Save the Town.
Brainerd. Minn., Sept. 30.—A heavy
rain set in at 7 o’clock yesterday morning
and all fear from the forest fires has now
passed. Friday night was a night of
terror. The fires had eaten their way
into the city limits, and a fierce
gale was blowing tbe flames toward
the residence portion of the city.
Hundreds were fighting the flames all
night, and every one was awake and
anxious. The smoke was dense, and tbe
red glare of the angrv flames forcibly re
minded the residents of the Hinckley
disaster. Scores of farmers have been
burned out in this district Many coming
into the city have lost all but the clothing
on their backs.

RESCUE OF THE MINERS-
The Escape of the Men at Simpson a
Most Miraculous One.
Scranton, Pa., Sept. 30.—Rescued from
what was believed to be certain death on
Thursday, when a portion of the work
ings of the northwest colliery at Simpson,
near Carbondale caved in, William
Mitchell. George Amey, John Fanning
and Andrew Klapkowski are 10-day the
objects of demonstrative rejoicing in the
village.
When the cave rn occurred their death
was regarded as certain, but on Thurs
day right the rescuer* heard responses to
their tapping and it was believed then’
was one mar, n escape the fall. Yester
day when it became a uertrintv that all
four were alive, the agony of Thursday
was turned into almost uncontrollable re
joicing. The rescuers pushed their work
moro vigorously than ever and they
pier, ed the black wall that had made the
prison almost five hours earlier than ex
pected.
RESTORED TO THEIR FRIENDS.
The imprisoned men were faint from
lack of food and drink, but these in stim
ulating quantities were supplied them,
and they were shortly alter midnight
this morning restored to their friends,
hundreds of whom stood massed at the
mine's mouth to receive them. They
were taken to their homes in wagons with
demonstrations of joy greeting them along
the way.
Their escape from death is regarded al
most a miracle, considering the extent of
the case-in, and the fact that they were
at work right beueath it. They had
heard the warning of the cracking roof
and tied to a place of safety before the
fall reached where they were.
THEIR EXPERIENCES IN THEIR TOMB.
Carbondale, Pa., Sopt. 30.-John J.
Fanning, William B. Mitchell, George
Barney and Andrew Klahesky, the four
miners who were entombed in the slope
ot the Northwest Coal Company on
Thursday, wore rescued at a late hour
last night. All are alive and well
and do not seem much the worse for their
long imprisonment. At soon as an open
ing was made, refreshn nts were passed
through to the prisoner. and their hunger
and thirst had been sa isfiod before they
reached the surface The men were
without light and feud for fifty-four
hours. They procured rater from a min
iature well which they dug in their cell.
In consequence of having been so
long in darkness, Fan Ing, when taken
out of the shaft, was un ble to see a lamp
held two feet away fn m him. None of
the men could remembe 1 whether or not
they had slept, and sail that the sensa
tion was like that of a |';rson in a trance.
There was rejoicing wh n the men were
brought to the surfaci and escorted to
their homes.

SAD END OF A TRUANT.
Fatally Crushed While Trying to
Board a Faet Train.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 30. Last
Wednesday night as the south bound pas
senger train on the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad rushed by Gaston
station at midnight, persons in the depot
board a cry of pain, fining out, they
found on the track a youth who had been
fearfully crushed by the car
wheels. Ho was still living,
but Gaston being a remote coun
try hamlet, it was three hours
before a physician could be obtained. He
died a few minutes after one arrived.
The boy was a handsome little chap,
neatly dressed and evidently of reputable
birth. He was told that he could not lire,
and he then gave this story. His name
was Samuel Williams of ‘J,7Be German
town avenuo. Philadelphia. Without
cause and without saying good-by to
his father or mother, he had run
away. He had only W tie. and booing
to save his money be had attempted to
board the platform of the moving train,
had missed his footing and fallen between
the w heels. The poor hoy plead that the
bystanders would prolong his life only
long enough to enable him to kiss his
father good-by. The people of Gaston
gave him every possible attention and
buried him as though he had been one of
their own sons.

REPRESSION OF THE REDS.
Rumors of a New Row Between the
Kaiser and Chancellor.
The Stories Probably Not Founded on
Facts—The Chancellor Ready to
Push Repressive Measures When
They Have Been Formulated With
Proper Deliberation—The Kaiser to
Take a Hand in Bringing About Re
forms on the Bourse.
Berlin, Sept. 30. The opposition press
were never more active than now in in
venting stories representing a rupture be
tween the emperor and Chancellor von
Caprlvi. This time it is alleged that the
kaiser has had a difference with the
chancellor over the measures of repres
sion which it is proposed by his
majesty to have introduced In
the reichstag during the coming
session of the body. According to the
Hamburger Nachrichten. the government
will passively resist the desires of the
kaiser in this matter, hoping tliat a reac
tion will occur which will bear them out
in their opposition, both as regards the
renewal of the exceptional laws and in
the framing of a Polish policy.
The Schlesiche /Ceituug, in an article
under the caption, “The Kaiser and Bis
marck Head the Opposition,’’ endeavors
to demonstrate that the kaiser's speech at
Thorn, and Prince Bismarck’s remarks
at Varzin partook of the nature of an en
tente cordiale between the two as against
the policy of Chancellor von Caprlvi in re
gard to Poland, and his resistance to the
renewal of the anti-socialist laws.
TWO REPLIES,
These attacks, which are obviously de
signed to force a definite declaration from
the government in regard to its future
policy, remain unnoticed, except in two
brief semi-official communications from a
Hamburg correspondent. The first of theso.
dated last Thursdy, said: “The enemies
of the chancellor, who are trying to con
strue the emperor’s recent utterances as
having been directed against him, wiil
soon find themselves mistaken. The
chancellor has never on principle rejected
a measure against agitation which en
dangered the public welfure. He has
only first desired that any measure pro
posed to this end should be practicable
and effective. The second communion
tion, dated Saturday, ts in the nature of
an official telegram, which says:
“No anti-anarchist bill will be
submitted to the reichstag, having the
effect of amending the common law, with
out the most careful consideration as to
whether it is still necessary.” As the
views of the authorities as to what steps
will be most effective continue to be di
vergent, the communication suggests that
some differences mxist in high quarters,
thong 1 " ‘1 an "'be said that nothing ap
proaching the gravity of the Kanzler
crisis is possible.
THE CHANCELLOR IN THE COUNTRY.
Chancellor von Caprivi left Berlin last
Wednesday evening on his way to the
country seat of a relative in Branden
burg. where he will pass the last three
weeks of his official leave of absence. No
decision on the part of the government on
the question of the amendment of the
laws is possible until his return. Then
all authoritative opinion points to a pro
posal looking to a revision by the reich
stag of certain articles of the penal code,
leaving the federal governments free to
introduce in tho interest of their respec
tive states what modifications of the laws
regulating associations they think proper
to submit.
At tbe meeting of tho Prussian cabinet,
over which Count von Eulenburg pre
sided. last Wednesday, it is understood
that a majority of the members present
insisted upon the adoption of severe
methods of repression, which can be sup
plied through amendments to the code.
REFORMS ON THE BOURSE.
The kaiser is interesting himself in the
expeditious furtherance of his long-pro
jected measure dealing witli illegal tran
sactions on the Bourse, usurious loans
and fraudulent acts on the part of build
ing and loan associations. As an incentive
to his majesty’s pushing this measure,
rumor has it that a lady prominent in the
highest of aristocratic circles went per
sonally to the emperor and presented to
him a statement showing that she
had been duped and ruined by certain

a party’s new policy.
Among th many political congresses
that have during the past week was
a meeting od the ( reisinnige Volkspartei,
whipn convened at Risen ael, with 40Udele
gotes present. The meeting was unusually
harmonious and unanimously adopted the
Richter programme without a single
alteration or modification. Resolutions
were also passed which committed the
faction to legislative interference in favor
of the principle of state insurance of
workingmen and other modifications of
the doctrine of inuividualisru which the
( reisinnige Volkespartei a few years ago
bitterly opposed. The Volks Zeitung
commenting on the proceedings of the
meeting, expressed the opinion that the
party has been weakened by its departure
from its former standards, in the mean
time. Herr Richter has secured apparent
harmony in the party on popular lines,
which is likely to add to its strength.
THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC*.
The social deraocratics held a meeting
at AschatTenburg, at which they passed
resolutions declaring against the enact
ment of special repressive laws. The es
tablishment and fostering ot free Institu
tions. they affirmed, were the best means
of subduing revolutionary parties.
The Vorwaerts, In an excessively fervid
article on Friday, announced tho celobra
tion of tho 30th anniversary of the found
ingof the International Guild of Social
ism by Karl Marx, and boasted of the
fact, which it declared was undeniable,
that the spirit of socialism In Germany
was giving genuine inspiration to the
brotherhood of all the workingmen in the
world.
The Kreuz Zeitung, in its issue of yes
terday, scoffs at the idea of socialist mo
rality. and contends that soeialism is
essentially revolutionary and has no rela
tion to sound nati liu! ethics. At the
same time the paper declares it is a source
of danger to the state and to society.
I NOCOLA TION FOR DIPHTHERIA.
A congress of German naturalists and
physicians opened its sessions in Vienna
on Monday lust and closed Its proceedings
on Friday The congress ended with a
farewell banquet in the ilofburg, at
which 1.200 delegates and 500 ladies were
present. The chief topic of discussion by
tho congress was the discovery of Prof.
Behring of Halle of a cure for diphtheria
l)> the inoculation of tho patient with
blood serum. Prof. Hehring, in an inter
view with a newspaper correspond
ent. said it was his belief that his
discovery would eventually be applied as
a cure for typhus fever, cholera and
pneumonia, lie contended sthat inocula
tion of diphtheria ought to be as com
pulsory as the measures which are
adopted for the treatment of smallpox.
During the debate on the subject in the
congress Prof. Enrich of Berlin, stated
his belief that the milk of inoculated
animals would tend to assist in ef
fecting cures. In support of Prof
Berhiug’s idea he held that blood
serum was as powerful aguinst
diphtheria as vacinue was against
smallpox. The present expense of pro
curing the blood serum puts it beyond
the reach of most persons, as it is niauu
factured in only tw o places in Germany
in Hoeehst, near Frankfort, and in Ber
lin. Two injections of the remedy cost 30
marks, and as many cases require six, the
costliness of the treatment may readily
be seen Despite the expense, however,
the treatment has already been applied to
a great extent in the larger hospitals in
Germany and Austria.

Minister Baker's Vigorous Protest la
Behalf of the Americans of No Avail.
A Description of the Latter Which
is Far From Complimentary -The
Americans Now in the Town Not
Oppressed in Any Way.
New Orleans, Sept. HO.—The Times-
Democrat’s special correspondent at Blue
fields, under date of Sent. 14, writes as
follows: "Since my last letter nothing
has created a ripple except the Managua
dispatches to the New York Herald,
which were received here a few days
ago. In them it was stated that Minis
ter Baker had made a vigorous protest
that the banished Americans be brought
back to Bluefields and given a fair and
impartial trial. On the same day, the
British gunboat Mohawk arrived off
Bluefields with the banished Knglish and
Americans, and none of them were al
lowed to come on shore. The two Ameri
cans, 1 ampkin and Wiltbauk, were put
on board the United Stales steamship
Marblehead, and the Knglishmen were
carried by the Mohawk to Jamaica. So
it seems that the vigorous protest of Min
ister Baker did not amount to much.
Probably it is best that it did not, for i*Ml
all the rumors I hear on the streelsjrf

A UNIQUE WILL.
Fishing Tackle Ordered Buried and no
Religious Rites at the Funeral.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 30. A week ago
Moses H. Kaizenberger, one of tho
leading representatives of the Hebrew
race in the south, and president of the
Mechanics Savings Bank of Memphis,
died in this city. Yesterday
his will, covering many hundred
thousand dollars worth of prop
erty, was filed for probate, and it proves
a remarkable document. The testator
displays the utmost liberality in bequests
to relatives, servants and public institu
tions. One bequest is to the now Mem
phis Jockey Club, it being cash for a
stake to be contested for each year, to be
known as the Kalzeuberger jneniorial
stake, to be run for as long as there is
a racing association in this county.
The will says: "Should there be a boy
born to either of my sisters in-law, Cora
and Lizzie, and 1 hope there will be, then
such male issue is to take share and share
alike of all my fishing rods and tackle,
except a line and a few hooks to be buried
with me in order that if there is any fish
ing in the other world I will be provided
with tackle to enjoy the sport, which has
aflorded me much delight in the present
mode of existence.”
It concludes: "Ir. reference to my own
burial I direct that there be no religious
rites or ceremonies, but that these be con
ducted by my loving frieuds in such a
way as they deem proper, and I further
direct that the formality of interring a
Bible with the body be dispensed with in
iny case.”
