Whkei.inc., April 20.—At a festival giv en by the colored people of Brennell, Mercer county, Friday night, a riot broke out between whites and blacks, in which one colored man was killed and several of both races wounded. The melee origi nated in the objectionable conduct of the whites, who were more or less intoxicat ed ami whose presence was undesirable to those in charge. The combat, which was waged in total darkness, the lights having been extinguished, was carried on with the free use of revolvers, clubs and razors. When order was restored Ben Wotkins, colored, was dead, with twelve wounds upon his person. Two white men were dangerously cut and one negro was badly wounded by a pistol ball. Many arrests have been made. A MULE ATTAC1*D WITH HYDROPHOBIA. Mr. ,T. W. Arnold tolls us the follow- in-; About five weeks ago a mad dog passed through Wylie X.

TO THE ■ JT*n Thousand Five Hundred Dollars Eae- • lip Made. | At a meetingof the Oconee Coun One day in the summer of last year, T. ty Prohibition Association, the un F. Lawson, who owns a little farm near [ dersigned wete appointed Athens, thought that it was time that he was getting up a lot of baskets for his hinds to use in picking cotton, and he spoke to two or three negro basket mak ers on the subject of making them for him. Kach of them declined to take the job on account of the difficulty of getting white oak for making the splits. The thought occurred to him that it was pos sible to invent and use something else instead of the old time split basket, and he set his brains to work at once, to get up a new one which would answer the purpose. In two days his invention was perfected, and a patent was applied for and obtained at once. The basket is known as the Lawson cotton basket, and achieved such popularity that it was sold in every Southern state last fall. Find ing that his orders were far ontrunning his capacity to niaufacture, and having an insufficient capital to reap the advantage of his invention, he sold his patent to Ur. !lunnicutt,of Athens, for five thousand five hundred dollars. A nice two days work. Mr. Lawson did not stop, however, at this. He concluded that the railroads needed a new car coupler, and at once set about inventing it. He obtained a patent easily and sold a one third inter est to Thomas Bailey, superintendent of the Athens foundry for two thousand five hundred dollars. His coupler will be used by the Georgia, North-Eastern and i’ichniond and Uanvillc railroads, and bids fair to make him a rich man,—Wash ington Chronicle. BETTER THAN BASE BALL. A GREAT PROJECT. It is rumored that certain large stock holders in the Georgia road, in this sec tion are urged to sell their stock in that road at the high price it now commands, and with the money build a line from Athens to Klherton. A half dozen par ties are able to complete the projocted road, and it wojld pay from the start. If the Augusta ,V Chattanooga road is ever built it will destroy the business of the Georgia, and doubtless result in breaking the lease. CHANGE OF FIRM. Mr. G. W.

A Washington special to the New York Journal of Commerce says. The House committee on labor is no more fa vorably disposed toihe ltlair educational bill, proposing to distribute $77,<100,000 among the states, than the committee on education. At the meeting of the com mittee on labor to-day another effort was made to have the bill reported to the House without recommendation, so that it could be placed upon the calendar, hut this was defeated. Then the committee took up a substitute offered in the com mittee by Mr. Ilaniel. of Virginia, which proposes to refund the receipts from the sales of public lands for education, but came to no conclusion. There are only five members of the committee on labar who favor the Blair bill, viz; Chairman •' Neil, of Missouri, Funsten, of Kansas, Buchanan, of New Jersey, Haynes, of New Hampshire, and James, of New York, all republicans except.O’Neil. They gave tip the hope of securing any report,and say thatthc restof the com' miller are not disposed to take any ac tion that will give the bill any standing in the house. THE STOLEN DIAMONDS.

Mr. Greer, of this county, brought into our effice yesterday a red dogwood hower, the first that has ever been foand in this country. He says that there if a tree full 0 f them on Mrs. Mayne’s place, U» thia county. prepare n interest of the cause of prohibition in Oconee county. An election has been ordered to be held on the 20th day of May, to determine whether or not spirituous liquors shall be sold within the limits of the county. We earnestly call upon the friends of temperance throughout the coun ty to rally to a man. for the issue is near at hand and must be met. We want.no divisions in this tight, but united effort, and a strong pull, a long pull and a pull altogether, and our efforts will be crowned with success and victory will perch upon our banners. Let us meet the issue coolly, calmly and prudently, but with a determined and bull dog te nacity that laughs at impossibilities, and cries “it shall be done.” Let the citizens of every neighborhood be aroused to a sense of the weigh ty responsibilities which rest upon them, for every man who votes in" favor of the sale of liquor, or by his ndifference stays away from the polls on election day is a friend to intemperance and resposible for the curse of bar rooms The issue can not he dodged, there is no middle ground, no neutrality in this fight We are either for or against bar rooms. We are either enlisted un der the black flag of he rum triend or under the pure, white flag of tem perance. Some say that bar rooms do not hurt them, therefore they will have nothing to do with the election. Have such men no neighbors whose wives and chil dren are in danger from the ravages of intemperance, the greatest of all curses? Did God cre ate them to live unto themseives and to contribute nothing lo pro mote the peace, good order and ll-heing of society? It has been demonstrated that nine tenths ct the crimes of this country have their ntigin in the bar-room curse. That being true, then the defenders of barrooms, and h->— who through d.flV ence letusc o vote for pro oi ion. are Mippoitxr- o' crime. Some -ay prohibition take.- iway r l ights and infringes upon their libei ties. It does not take a wav the right of any man to diink, but it does take away the lioerty of the rumseller to sell that which will make our sons drunkards, steal a>» as the reason of our people and sei •firm adrift upon society to steep themselves in crime, to violate eve ry law ol God and man, to trample under feet the sacred ties of home, to cause the iiearts oi wives and mothers to drip with blood and turn our earth into a pandemonium. Some say that prohibition does not prohibit. It does prohibit. One of the largest dealers in the county attests that tite consumption of li quors has decreased 40 per cent, since the question of prohibition has been agitated. We have laws against stealing and murders. Are theie any thieves and muiderer-? Yes. but how much more stealing and how manv more murders would toere be without these laws? We would urge the young men of our county to rally around the standard of temperance, and in the language ar-.d the last words of the immortal G tugh would entreat them to ’•make a clean record” in the ap proaching election. We would say to the good women ol our county, the mothers and daughters, who are always ready to help in ever) good work and whose influence is almost omnipotent, we need your help. Go to work in earnest, orga nize and appoint committees and sc> them to work in every direction. We would be glad to have our col ored friend,sas many as will, to meet with 11s and co operate with us in driving from our county this great corse to their race. In conclusion, we would say to the Iriends of prohibition.be not dis- cou'aged; although we have a pow ertul enrol) to fight, although he is backed by hell and wicked men, and our cause is assailed b) foes within the church, on the streets and on every side, yet God and the right are for us. Let us then fight on till our war cry shall shake into dust every citadel ot a conquer ed foe, and our banner wave over a land redeemed and saved till “cold water" pure, crystal, limpid and bright shall be the universal bever age of the world Jciin W.

Paris, April iS.—The writ to stay proceedings issued by the Paris tnbunalsand served on M. I'romc- pueix at the instigation of M Tjv ernier, in order to prevent a duel with M Magnier, proved inelective Messrs. Magnier and Thomegueix managed to baffle the complicated machinery of French justice,and had their duel after all at a late hour yes terday afternoon iu the lorest of St. Germain. The fight commenced in a secluded spot in the forest,but an old woman who was gathering chic- cory intormed the gamekeepers, who, just as swords crossed, appear ed upon the scene in lull uniform. The combatants, seconds and sur geons managed to escape iu their carriages, and drove at full gallop 5 miles to another seluded place. A HARD FOUGHT ENCOUNTER. Tne fight then began in earnest, both doing their best to kill tne other. M. Thomegueix forced the fighting and gained ground inch bv inch, but with no advantage, as M. Magneir fought beautifully, his skill equaling his feat in the celebrated Sunday morning fencing exhibition at the Elysee Palace in the presence ot President and the Dauphin of the Republic, M. Wilson. M. Magneir certainly showed his funk this time, as with clenched teeth and eyes fixed on his adversary he beat M Tromegneix slowly back. The sword play of both was almost per fection. TOO MUCH ZEAL. Suddenly M. Magnier, seeing an opening thrust savagely at M. Trom- eguelx’s abdomen, but the latter’s iron wrist beat aside the sword point just as it was touching him on a vital part. M. Tromegneix retur- ed the thrust, and M. Magnier drew hack his arm in such a way as leave no doubt of what had hap pened. “Stop!" cried one of the seconds; “Monsieur, you are hit, are you not?" ”Oui" was the low res ponse M. Tromegneix then tur lied to-wards his seconds with a look of satisfaction CALM THOUGH WOUNDED M Magnier w.1' pile bur his hunts Hid not ticmhle, although midway between the wrist and feie- arin, a dark blue spot appeared which showed where the blade had entered. The point ot the sword had gone to the hone. The gentle men lorked at each other gravely. “It is impossible for the fight to con tiuue,” said all the seconds. Tile doctors agreed, and the “proces ver bal” was drawn up. M Magnier’s wound is very serious if not danger ous. ANOTHER DUEL. The next duel on the cards of this extraordirrry series will probably be between M. Magnier—as soon as he gets well again—and M. Adol pho Tavenier Yesrerday’s duel was spoken of at the clubs as thoroughly correct in every particu lar, and one of the most sportsman like combats that Ins tiken pltce for a long tune.

Cairo, Ga., April 28.—Editors Evening News: Again I claim spaca in yonr most excellent paper to narrate an occurrence which took place in the extreme portion ot Southwest Georgia, as given to me by a man who helped to rescue the horse from a cave. A man by the name ot Jessa Johnson was rid ing r fine young horse and driving cows out of a pasture. As the cows got outside of the pastuie one of them turned into the woods, when Mr. Johnson dashed off" on the horse to head the cows. Suddenly the earth gave way, and the horse, from the jerk of the bridle, iell in backwards. Mr. Johnson slipped and went down ahead of the hor-e. A ledge of rocks had to be passed, and the man got through quick and stopped on the ledge of rock over which the stream of water was running. The horse missed the place where the man stopped and went on below. T ust then neither man nor horse went to see what be came of the cow, for Johnson, poor fellow! was stunned by the fall, and sometime passed before he gathered his wits. When he came to himself all was dark as midnight; he finally discovered a light, but was not sure what sort ot light it could be down in that place, but con cluded it was better to get to the light than to remain in darkness. So he ventured on, and to his sur prise, after going a few hundred yards he was on top again. He had come out of a hole where the stream had entered, and the light was a star. So he found his home and told of his plunge into the cave, and said his horse kept on and per haps had made the trip. Next day the people gathered, and one man descended into the cave, and by means of ropes fas tened to the horse, they with men and windlass succeeded in pulling the horse up to the ledge ot rock, where the man stopped, and they helped the horse on to his feet and led I lira out by the same route the man escaped, Hon. Jefferson Davis on the Labor Question. Galveston April 24.- -The follow ing letter fiom ex—President Jeffer son Davi<-of the Southern Confed eracy, to H. W. Pope nf Marshall, Texas in which Mr. Davis gives his views as to what legislation might be adopted so as to bring about harmony anil unity of acting between capital and labor, has just been made public; THE LETTER IN FULL. Beauvoir. Miss, March 27, t886 The Hon. II. \V. Pope: My Dear Sir: Fully appreciat ing the compliment conveyed by your requet for by views as to what legislation might be adopted to ad just the conflict, I regret the compli ment is so little merited The old war between capital and labor has called forth the best interlects ol Europe; il has disturbed commerce has overthrown governments, has p oduerd anarchy and crept from the wreck without solving the prob lem. With us the contest is in its incipient state, and happily it mav be that something can be done to check its growth. SELF-INTEREST AND FREE CONPE- TITION. Self interest and free competition for labor will, wherever laborers are abundant give the rich power to oppress the poor. Wo cannot leg islate to destroy self-iuterest for that lies at the foundation of progress, and our effort must therefore be directed to unifying the interest of labor and capital, as this may be done by the legislatures of the states. The present form of conflict is between associated labor and or ganizations employing it. It is not a sufficient answer to say that the price of labor has advanced, unless it can be proved that the profits has moved pari passu with the profit of capital, for in this, as in oilier things we must consider the relative improvement, the standard of comfort rises proportionately to the increase of wealth in the coun tries. A COURT OF_ ARBITRATION WAN TED. Yous idea Of a court of arbitration I think, has much to recomend it. The organization of such a court so as to secure the confidence of both contending parties would require botli liberality and discretion, and it would he needtulthat their decision should be based on something tike industrial partnership, in which the wages on employes should be meas ured bv the profits of the corpora tion. If in this manner community ot interest could be established and welfare and contentment of both would seem to be the possible re suits. With sincete regards for you and yours, I am your friend.

A document accompanying this sub stance is officially signed and certi fied to by Victor Bacoucher, U. S.

Washington dispatch to the Bos ton Journal: The democratic lead ers in the house begin to talk about adjourning July 1st, yet the senate has passed only one appropriation bill. In all the estimates made as to adjournment, the House leaders have assumed that the senate would follow the bidding of the house. But it is understood that senators have generally made up their minds that they will be kept here till Au gust. The appropriation bills about which the most controversy is to occur between the two houses are yet to be passed, and senators de clare that they do not intend jo be hurried in the consideration of these measures, even if they should |be required to remain until fall, and the senators are not disposed to hold night sessions to make up for the dalay and negligence of the house. for tho display of his prowess, and taking ad vantage of pressing opportunities, he swashed around among the buffalo with eminent sat isfactory effect, and bis squaws fed well and the babies slept sound.

He dared not not seek a mart at Poplar River or Wolf Point, lest he be knocked on the head by an indignant military, and as there was no other outlet he was in what might be captiously termed a hole. At this juncture up rose Edwin Allen, formerly an officer in the police, but who had resigned his commission. Foreseeing a liberal trade with this Mr. Bull, he straightway started a store, stocked it with hard tack, sugar, tobacco, blankets and trinkets, and entered upon barter with the red-skins. For a long time he did famously, exporting valuable furs to the American side, the proceeds of which enriched him amazingly. Finding themselves honestly dealt with, a circumstance which provided them with much entertainment for original ity, the savages patronized him liberally, and Mr. Allen found himself amassing rapidly and growing up with the country at an ex hilarating pace. Fortune beamed on him with both eyes, and the happy redskins, who longed to clean him out, desisted out of re spect for the genteel manner in which he ac complished the square thing. A c length it occurred to Mr. Allen that he ought to get married. Years before he had left a yellow haired, bright-eyed girl in Montreal, and now that he had put himself in a position to as sume a responsibility with that color of hair and class of optic, he made up his speculative mind to take her unto himself, and, leaving the store with a young man whom tbe In dians affectionately termed “Two Bellies,” presumably from the phenomenal area of his only one, Mr. Allen started on his 3,000-mile journey in search of the Montreal lady. He did not conceal much from her. Frankly he told her that the best bleod in Wood mountain society (outside the post) was red instead of blue, and she dutifully put her hand in his and sang the German songs he loved to hear, with chorus loud and clear—perhaps that isn't quite so. Anyway, I’ve forgotten tho rest of it. Nevertheless, she agreed to go with him, and so they were mar ried. “Not much of a prospect for a bride," the average city woman may say. Perhaps not, more especially If you stop to consider that she was the only white woman (or would bo when she got there) within 500 or 600 miles oi the mountain, for at that time old man Bird was the agent at Poplar River, and he had no wife, so tho nearest was at Fort Bu ford, away down east at the mouth of the Yellowstone. After three weeks of pretty rough getting around she found herself comfortably located in the little log house on tbe top of the moun tain, with a squaw for a maid, and a fine view of the country. One can see a long dis tance in that neighborhood. The air is as clear as the average city woman’s complexion, and Pinto Horse butte, eighty-five miles from the mountain, looms up like an oyster in a church stew. It’s a fine place to live, if one can stand it. A healthy, clear, bracing atmosphere; days that commence at 2 a. m. and last till 10 at night; blizzards that howl in the winter like a thirsty dog, and mosquitoes all summer averaging 1,000,000 to the square inch. Maybe Pm mis taken about that. Perphaps the pressure is only 750,000. Anyway, they’re thick, and, moreover, they bite. In spite of all this, she got there. The troops were glad to see her, and the Indians disguised their surprise and welcomed her with a characteristic ro# in her honor. “Two Bellies” had a good account of tho state of trade to offer, mid Mr. Edwin Allen was conspicuously happy. The world for him was as bright as a new skillet, and be had only to push onward and upward, sing ing tra-hula to get somewhere before old age should cut him down in the legs and leave him burst on the sands of time, which some worn and weary brother seeing, would take heart again. Antelope and buffalo furnished their table, and they had water from two springs, one erroneously supposed to possess great medical properties, and tho other a mile and a half off. There was a neat little bed-room, a neat little dining-room, a neat little kitchen and neat little loop-holes all around the sides of the house through which to poke the finger of scorn at such savages as needed revision and amendment. Many a meal I have enjoyed in the neat little dining-room, and many a night I have sat around the big fire in the kitchen, that is, os for around as 1 could get, listening to the fearful narrative of Long Dog, or to the prairie news that the Broad Necklace broughi in. There was no presage of danger then, nothing prophetic of the wild and fear ful night that was rolling around the earth for the happy trader and his pretty wife. Want or food was the origin of the trouble. That may seem a strange statement, when compared with the description of the In dians’successes, but a day came when the Buffalo started south and crossed the Mia souri river, where Sioux dared not follow Even the antelope wandered away, and the prairie* were left barren of game. As a mats ter of course there was nothing on hand Your Indian is not a thrifty person., Give t quantity of food to a savage, and there fc no work done until the latter has absorbed tha former. The idea of depositing grub in ana wonaerea now long they would stand out full and round without artificial encourage ment. There were fish in abundance, a few jack rabbits and whole colonies of gophers; but your Indian is a sensitive party, and will hunt nothing that he can’t hunt on a horse. He r«n fast indefinitely, but his spirit is above small gome. So our friends, tho h os- settled down to % comfortable family starve. And it was right there that Mr. Edward Allen made a bit of a mtgtnkn find lie closed his store, as the civil ized merchant does when famine sets in, he hod kept himself out of difficulty, but he didn’t Touched with an unnecessary senti ment of pity, he began, to give away quanti ties of food, and, naturally, he came to grief. Unfortunately for Mr. Allen he was a prac tical man. Had he understood that philan thropy is purely a speculative science, he had they are civilized, and that in civilization lots of things rank the babies. The Indian doesn’t look at it so. First in his mind comes the child and that child he will feed at the expense of his life. He doesn’t reconcile himself to the idea that a starving young one is but a bud opening into the perfect flower. He finds no resignation in a romantic acception of the inevitable. When his popooee is hungry he is going to skirmish for fodder, and if no gets licked he takes it quietly, so quietly that he never moves around much afterward. Understanding his own feelings, he ascribes the same to others, and the Wood mountain end of the schedule, con jecturing that if they secured Allen’s baby he would put up any amount of nourishment as a ransom, broke into, the house and yanked the youngster from its mother’s arms. Of course that made trouble. The mother couldn’t stand it, and the row commenced. Up through coulees a shriek of mourning rent the air and drifted away to find its echoes in the mountains. Red women moaned with despair over the dead bodies of husbands and sons. Dusky faces were pressed upon the snow that melted under hot tears of gsisf Cor husbands and brothers slain in the grapple for grub, for after all, grief is colorless, and attacks irrespective of hue. The copper-skinned savage has & cardiac entrail as susceptible to love as—well, as the average city woman- end she misses her loves as much and mourns them as bitterly. Through the camp that stood like great ghosts in the flickering of the fires men still fought and wrestled, and at the upper end of the village a great crowd gath ered around the white baby. There was no disposition to hurt it To its captqrs it was a circulating medium representing so much food, for which they were perfectly willing to trade it. They could not harm it, for it belonged to their friend, and they were anx ious to return it to him for a consideration. An e% idence of a leaning toward civilization, you may say. Not exactly. It is true the civilized man will rob his friend and trade back the stolen property for something more valuable, but he won’t barter human flesh. There is a law against it. Down from the mountain top tore a frantic woman. There were no cries, no words. The business she bad on hand did not allow of much noise. Her horse’s hoofs rang out on the frozen ground with a steady clang, but there was no faltering. The trail was dan gerous and a little out of repair, but there was no hesitation. Clone behind followed the fifteen lanciers, but there was not speed enough in their horses to catch the flying pony before them. Down through the dark passes and into the deep shadows, and out again into the half light, the chase ran steadily. Not a halt broke that run of eigh teen miles, when the fires of tho camp burst into sight. Down through the crowds of wailing women; past the howling mourners; out through the lines of deserted lodges, and at last into the crowd that circled around the child. It was a strange frame for the picture the lonely white woman made. A dozen dig nified Indians toppled over as the brave little pony dashed against them. A dozen more fell undsr the swift strokes of swords. The attack was too sudden for resistance. A score of warriors were down, and others fell like the prairie grass before the wind. There was no quarter until the last savage had disappeared over the hill, and then Mrs. Allen fainted. Of course she got the baby. She couldn’t have fainted before. A woman only faints at the point of success. Perhaps it doesn’t occur to her before. Back up tbe mountain, and once more at home. There was no obstacle to the retreat. The savages were thoroughly cowed by the attack, and turned away from the retreating force. Safe ensconced in her home, Mrs. Al len had hysterics and all the other accom plishments, and then got over it Down in coulee the women mourned afresh. The prairie was splashed with tears and the crisp night air was tom with lamentations, grave blunder had been committal, and suf fering and sorrow followed, and it was many a long day before the red women stifled their sobs or ceased their mourning for those who had died in^be fight for children’s lives It waa ad nature!.

It only lasted five minutes, thanks to organized power, to which, alas, in these days of arbitration, and moral suasion, we must come at last for dread adjudication in the streets. The clubs were coming. One doub le platoon came down Third ave nue, another came suddenly out of Fifty-n ;r .th street as if it had been shot up by a trap. Then com menced the most fearful of sights, a police attack upon a street crowd. Supt. Murray’s orders to his men were to “strike hard.” I turned my head away with a sickening sensa tion,for I seen this before. You can have tio possible conception of the terrible nature ot such a cene un less you have encountered it. 1 have witnessed a charge of cavalry that rode down gunners and tram pled infantry into the earth, but there was a mild, redeeming swirl to it, and then there was no women and children in the crowd. The one duty of the police in such a crisis is to break and scatter the solid mass. It must go through it, and when the onslaught is made with these dreadful clubs it is too late, in the paroxysms of purpose, to pick the innocent from the guilty. If ever you have heard the soupd of those clubs as they fall crushing- ly upon heads ana faces you will never forget it. As if by magic the scene changes. A few stalwart men stand up defiantly a moment in opposition. Then they fall un der the blows. But panic seizes the great mixed throng of men and women. The air is suddenly filled with screams. The character of the tumult is sharpened into dis may. A mad chaos of desperation ensues; women are entangled by their skirts and thrown down and trodden upon; you can hear the pitiful cries of the children above the din; it is the meeting of organ ized force with disorganized vio lence. It does not last long. In fifteen minutes the street is cleared. But it is bloody. And then that dis mantled car is dragged back to the depot and a score of miserable wretches are behind the police bars. This is the first tussle. But there on Fifty-ninth street are the re serves drawn up freshly. They seem to say, '“Here we are, quite ready to go on. If this question ot labor is to be a question of mere brute force, that’s what we are here for.” And in it and over it all there i* 5 a sad reminder that the men who had rights and public sympathy have thrown away the most pre cious part of their contest in under taking to shift their fight from the co poration to the community.

They stepped all surface trave' by horse railroad on Monday, and if you stop to think a moment how utterly dependent this longitu dinal metropolis is on horse car trav el you can imagine the effect of this on every branch of business. Broad way and Fifth avenue and other of the great tributary streets like Four- eenth and Twenty-third wore a Sunday aspect. The grand crowds Of women and'children that are usu ally seen around the big bazaars in Fourteenth street had disappeared. All commerce, all the retail trades, ar.isans, merchants, skilled labor of e/e-y kind suffered, because the le st skilled of all labor had got its grip on the meqnsof transit. I came down Broadway, I stopped in at half a score of the big shops. They were deserted at what is usually the busiest hours. I talked with the merchants. They had but one opin ion. They were suffering, but one and all hoped the railroads would ho’d out and settle this question of t aue tyranny and law and order once and for all. I do not remember ever having seen so complete a re vu sion of public opinion as these strikers have brought about within a week. At first public sympathy was heartily with them in what it believed was a fight against heart less corporations.but now they have succeeded in placing the railroads on the side of law and order, and with one vpice the intelligent com-' mumty is backing the corporations, simply because the corporations do not insist upon interfering with the rights of everybody else, and in ma king threats of violence. I saw the fight on Third avenue yesterday. It was a small riot In it were all the deadly elements of the Commune; all the incipient flames and fury of the worst Paris ian days. Nothing saved that great th.toughfare from ’massacre but the promptitude with which the police fell upon the mob and drove it back. When the first brick was aimed at the poor conductor that, was trying to take the car through there went up a • wild howl from thousaads of cruel, demoniac throats, and in an instant the air was black with missiles. The car windows were smashed, the light panels splintered. Tbe wrecked vehicle was surrounded in a twinkling with maddened men and women. A horrible sound of yells, screams and groans filled the air. There seem ed to be but one impulse animating this mob,’ it wsrto get hold of the A Singular Marriage In Monroe of tire Foat- Mlitren. Walton Nova. Tuesday, Miss M. A. Rooks was married to Rev. G. F. Shaeffer, ot North Carolina. This marriage is worthy of nnu- sual note. Every person in that county old enough to come to town is well acquainted with tbe bride, who fat nineteen years has officiat ed as postmistress of Monroe—and she has made one of the best offi cials that ever served under any government. Her record is re markable, have never lost a moment out of the office except when sub poenaed away to attend a couple of courts. Like most men of promi nence, she is self-made. Many months ago Prof. Shaffaer read in some North Carolina paper an ex tract from the news, in which it was stated that Miss Rooks had been in the office for so many years. Admiring the character of the brief sketch, although he knew her not, he wrote, asking the privilege of forming an acquaintance. After some months’ correspondence he came here last December to see Miss Puss (that was when she passed him off to the unsuspecting people—but it was pardonable- A post office detective), and again in March. The engagement is of some months’ standing.

One night last week, Mr. George Tucker and Mr. Alfred Rorie put their horses in the same stable as usual and went to bed, the stallion being in a stall next to the horse owned by Mr. Tucker. About mid night an old woman living on the place waked up with the information that the horses had been fighting about an hour. The most fearful screams could be beard frsm the di rection of tbe stable, and when the two men reached the stable the sight presented was a ghastly one. The stallion had the other horse on tbe ground and was literally chew ing him to pieces. The top part ot the horse’s neck was almost eaten off, and cuts, kicks and bruises were visible on all parts of his body. It was with difficulty that the stallion could be made to loose his hold, and the horse was found to be entirely ruined.

On Friday they went down to the brick yard ponds and went in swimming. Alter coming out of the water they went into the woods near bv and ate a quantity of “blue grass.” On their arrival at home they both complained of feeling badly, but they continued on their feet until Saturday night. Sunday morning about 1 o’clock the older one callrd his father and said lie felt weak. In a short time he was seized by convulsions and died at 3 o’clock. The younger one was taken by con vulsions Sunday evening and died at 7 o’clock. There was no physi cian with either ot them, and the exact cause ot their death is not known.
