Cyrus Field is said to be dying. He
made a vast fortune in speculative
and business enterprises, and up to a
short time ago was considered as
among (be wealthiest and most pros
perous men in the country. Mistortune
has overtaken him in his last days,
however, and he is now a physical
wreck and almost a pauper. He has
been the victim of great reveries.
The death of his wife was the first
great sorrow that befell him. Then
came the disgrace and failure ot his
son, together with a heavy loss of
money. This was followed by the
death of his favorite daughter, and
another daughter has been adjudged
iosane. Verily, the old man has been
beseiged with misfortune, and these
calamities coming close together, has
proved too much for him. His death
ii momentarily expected.
Jacksonville, Fla., has been all ex
citement for the past three days, and
from alt accounts the end is not yet.
The trouble all came about by the
killing of a prominent young white
man of that city by a negro truck
driver on the fourth of July. The
young man reprimanded the driver,
who was employed by the same house,
for delaying the closing up of the
store on the fourth. Hot words passed
and the young man struck the negro
with a small stick. This the negro
resented in a terrible manner. Seizing
one of the heavy oak standards of his
wagor, he dealt the young man a
fearful blow on the head, killing him
almost iostantly. The negro was
arrested and put in jail.
The young man was very popular
in Jacksonville and the white men of
course was very much exercised over
the murder, and some talk of lynching
the negro was indulged in, though no
steps to this end were taken.
The negroes got it into their heads
that one of their color was going to be
lynched, and they banded themselves
together to prevent this being done.
Several hundred ot them armed them
selves and surrounded the jail, refus
ing to let any white man come near.
The excitement increased and the
mob assumed a threatening aspect.
The local military was ordered out,
and after much difficulty succeeded in
establishing themselves at the jail.
They threw out picket lines and for a
time.it looked as if the excitement
would quiet down and the trouble
come to au end, but as will be seen
from the following telegrams which we
take from the Savannah News of
yesterday, the situation is practical.y
unchanged:
NEGROES FIRED UPON.
Jacksonville, July 7, 1 A. u —
At 11:30 o’clock some negroes at
tempted to pass through the picket
lines two blocks away from the jail
leaders and others who were arrested
yesterday and today, all of whom
have been turned over to the county
authorities, and are massed together
in the city jail. The greatest excite
ment prevails.
Jacksonville, July 7, 11:30 p. m.
—(Special.)—A hard rain early ihi3
evening probably dispersed negroes
somewhat, and no armed squ 'ds of
them are reported any where within
ten blocks ot jail.
The authorities think no more
tr ible is to be leared. Men wound
ed last night are all doing well to-day
and nobody has auy serious wounds.
Four companies arc guarding the jail
to-night. Eight companies are in
the city.

sentry ordered them to halt and
give the countersign. This they were
unable to do and insisted on passing.
The Bentinel raised an alarm and as
the negroes were pushing their way
through they were fired on by mem
bers of the Metropolitan Light In
fantry of this city. They returned
the fire and a skirmish ensued. Two
negroes are reported fatally wounded.
Private Harry Stout of the Metropol
itans, a son of Dr. H. R. Stout, a
prominent homeopathic physician of
this city, was wounded in the leg.
He was conveyed in an ambulance
to bis father's home on Ocean 'street. Mni-n ■ n
His wound is not considered of a 1*10171111
dangerous character. The nameB of
the negroes wounded Lave not been
ascertained yet. The city is in a
high state of excitement.
WILD RUMORS AFLOAT,
Jacksonville, July 7, 2 a. m.—
Excitement runs high and dozens of
the wildest rumors are current all
over the city. Investigation shows
that only one negro was wounded in
the scrimmage at 11:30 o’clock . and
his wound is not serious. Young
Stout’s wound was caused by the ac
cidental discharge ot a rifle as he
stood at the jail door- The troops
are arresting and taking-to jail all

thirty having been run in already.
