LOOKED SQUALLY. TROUBLE APPREHENDED NIGHT. LAST Lively Scenes on the Streets—A Dem onstration from the Negroes Looked for, Which Slight have Provoked a Rtot-The Police in Readiness. Special to the Banner. Atlanta, Ga., August 13.—Tilings were lively on the streets here last night. For a while it looked like there would he trouble, but the prompt and oppor tune work of Chief Connolly and the police department prevented it. And again the better class of colored people heeded the advice given in yes terday’s papers and discountenanced any demonstration or under excite nient. if the burning of Mr. and M5*s Lyons had been seriously contemplated it was abandoned. The reports and rumors however, placed ilia white people on their guard, and two separate parties were organized to prevent it. THE GATHERING CROWDS All the afternoon crowds of negroes loafed about on Decatur and Marietta streets, about the car shed and Pryor street. A crowd also collected around the undertaking establishment of David Howard on Pryor street, in which the body of Charley Knight was lying. There was something like a mutual apprehension of trouble among the white men, and the actions of the darkeys did not tend in any way to allay these forebodings. AN OUNCE OK PRECAUTION. With his usual foresight < hief Con- uolly set about to protect the public peace. The entire force was held in reserve, and cartridges to be used in the Winchester rilles were dealt out to the men. To add to the excitement of the ne groes there was an Odd Fellows parade in the afternoon and music by a brass band. As night came on things began to assume a more threatening aspect. The crowds of negrdes on Decaturand Marietta streets began to increas notice ably. W bite men were also out in large numbers, and nearly all were armed with some sort of weapons. But the spark to start the fire was want ing. The police kept it smothered. A chain of unfortunate circumstances provoked much of the apprehension. The Odd Fellows assembled with the brass band at the court house. At the same time the coi tigating the killin ley Knight, and on crowd was collected about Knight’s dead body. INCENDIARY SPEECHES. About ft o’clock a negro man was ar rested near the .Markham house for blocking the sidewalk ami using pro fane language. As he was being taken to the stationbouse a crowd of negroes and white men gathered about the offi cers. When the crowd reached the corner of Alabama and Loyd streets, Thomas Bryant, a well known negro, began talking loudly. He declared that pistols always were killing “niggers,” and that they wouldn’t go oil' for white men. Judge Anderson was in the, crowd, and prompt ly caused the negro’s arrest . Later in the night he refused to release Bryant on Loud. H. C. Williams, a negro preacher, was also arrested for making an incendiary speech at same time. Several small arrests were made, by midnight everything was quiet, and a riot had been prevented. EXCITING TUE NEGROES. Late in the afternoon a yankee dier from Fort McPherson was stand ing in front of Captain Ed. Cox’s sta bles, 50 South Pryor street. He had a crowd of negroes gathered about him, and was creating quite an excitement by his incendiary talk. Colonel A. J. McAllister was stand ing nearby. When he heard what the soldier was saying he walked up him and catching him hv the collar forced him into the stable, and ex plained to him that if he didn’t stop such talk he would get a hole bored through him The soldier promised not to open hi mouth until he reached the barracks and then would stay there if he was re leased. Col. McAllister let him go The soldier started in a trot for McPher son’s barracks GOVERNOP. GORDON DISPERSES’ A CROWD A committee of negroes called upon Governor Gordon at the executive man sion and asked him to prevent the white people from disturbing the Odd Fellow celebration. The governor came down on Marietta street, mounted a chair and in a brief way, requesten that the crowd disperse, and go to their homes Governor Gordon’s speech was greeted with applause from both classes, and they, one and all, showed their high re spect for him by dispersing. A MEETING TO-NIGHT. Rumors of ail kinds arc afloat to ||£ day. r'|yj-f On Sunday it was given out in the col ored churches over the city that a mass meeting of colored people would he held in front of the court house on Tues day night. v The meeting will be for the purpose of raising a fund, so the rumor says, to employ an attorney. The attorney is to cause Patrolman Chandler’s arrest for the killing of the negro, Charley Knight. It is also said that one hundred dol lars has already been raised by certain negroes for that purpose, and the amount is to he largely increased. Whether the meeting will take place to-night remains to be seen, but that it was to have taken place is a cer tainty. _ Dll. CHARLES PIiNCKKEY DEAD. lie Passes Quietly Away this Morning, A Sketch of the Life of a Well Known Physician. .Special to The Banner. Atlanta, Ga., August 13.—Dr. Clias. Pinckney is dead.

Ready to Reimw Rioting When the Sheriff Leaves the Mines. Special to the Banner Grkknsburg, Pa., August 15.—The deputies who went to llecJa last even ing in charge of Sheriff Byers are on the ground, but up to noon no trouble had occurred. A large number of Hun's are in the vicinity armed with clubs, evidently awaiting the departure of the officers in order to inaugurate a riot. None of the Hecla cokers are working to-day on account of the great destruc tion of property, which will require a day or two to be put in repair for work- ing. The deputies have sent for more. am munition, as there will certainly be se rious trouble when work is resumed. A special from Scottdale, Pa., says reports from the coke region this morn ing, say everything is quiet. Unknown parties rang a false alarm on the school bell at Stoneville, last midnight, which created a great consternation, especial ly among the women who fled with their children to the surrounding hills. They were scantily clad and suffered greatly from the cold. After being as sured that everything was quiet ihey returned to their homes. Many of the independent operators say that they cannot afford to pay the new scale of prices, as they get only 90 cents per ton from the larger ope rators who sell their product for them, realizing $1 per ton. W. J. Rainey, iron manufacturer of Cleveland, uses liis own produce of coke and has coke plants at 3Ioyer, Pauli and Fort Hill. Rainey signed his scale for his Moyer works only, which pro duces sufficient coke for his mills, leav ing the other works idle. The cokers at Pauli and Fort Hill say they will not permit the Moyer works to resume un til the scale is signed at Pauli and Fort Hill also. A Pretendod Daniel’s ’Influence- Three Negroes Enter a Furnace. .Special to the Banner. Chicago, August 13.—A Tribune special from Birmingham, Ala., says: Saturday last three young negro men, driven to religions frenzy by the ex hortations of an old negro named T. Jackson, who claims to be Daniel the prophet, were persuaded to believe that they were representatives of Shiulrach, Mesliack and Abednego, the three Is raelites who entered the liery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar of old.

At this writ ing he is in jail, charged with grand larceny. Radclifte has been for eleven year porter in a Main street clothing house it $3 a week, and enjoyed the implicit confidence of the Ann. They did riot know that he was buy ing lots and buildings houses on them, or their suspicion would have been aroused. Yet such was the fact, and it is now known that he posesses a half dozen valuables and property,including a double brick tenement. The truth came out through Rad- cliff’s connection with the “Black Caps,” a colored organization formed for the ostensible purpose of breaking up the immoral relations of white men with colored women. lie reported to his order a handsome and fairly edu cated quadroon girl, who was living with a white man, and the man was compelled to break off the connec tion. Tiie girl swore vengenance against Radclifle and set to work to ruin him. She discovered that lie had been steal ing clothing for years from his employ ers and .idling it to other colored men, and also found out how he had invested his ill-gotten gains. By anonymous letters she made her discoveries known to the firm and police. Radcliffe was arrested and a large quantity of valua ble clothing found concealed at his home. He made a full confession. Ilis thefts amount to thousands of dollars. Talequaii, 1. T., August 13.—Chief Mayes has not yet returned an answer to the proposition of the commission.

Insured. Probably the Sepulchre of a Prehis toric Race, Discovered in Colorado. Special to the Banner. Denver, Aug. 14.—A most remark able story reached here yesterday from ispen, Col., regarding an unexpected find in one of the principal mines on the Aspen Mountain. Last Thursday night, as the story goes, the night shift in the Minuie mine, Messrs. Donnelly, Moekey, Taylor and Gillillan, .put in two 30-incli holes in the breast of a 500- foot level, and fired the blast just before leaving for the surface. On returnin to the mine it was found that the two shots had broken into a eavo, the extent of which t}iey proceeded t>* expjpre. Going in a few feet they found the walls covered with crystallized lime and lead that glittered like diamonds. Here and there little pieces lmng from the ceil ing. The lime formation resembled lace and frieze . work of wondrous beauty. The cave has a descent of about 20, and the explorers found rooms and chambers grand beyond description. They had entered about 200 feet when they found a flint ax. A little further was a pool of fresh water, and a strong current of fresh air was felt. Further on a chamber was discovered covered with a brownish muck that was sticky Gillillan, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped and said,: “There sits a boy.” Bure enough, there sat a human form The head was resting on the knees and the arms were drawn around the legs Indian fashion. A stone bowl and ax were found beside the figure. The body was well preserved, but in trying to lift it one arm broke off. Other bodies in different attitudes were found in the chamber, but when disturbed they crumbled. One stone man was brought out with the loss of arms and feet. The discovery has caused great excitement in Aspen, as the bodies do not seem to be those of Indians. CHEERS FOR THE CLEVELANDS. The Ex-President’s Mass achusetts Trip and Its Pleasant Incidents. South Framingham, Mass., Aug. 14. Ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland stopped here at 10:25 o’clock to-day in their special train on the way to South- boro.

A Detective Places J.R. Heaton Under Arrest—The Crime. Alleged Against Him. Special to The Banner. Thomaston, Ga., August 14.—Mr. W. E. Wright, of Gadsden, Ala., has within the last three weeks done some nice detective work in this county. Near Dripping Rock, on the Flint iver, a man who says his name is John R.

He is alleged to he Thomas Campbell,who is charged with the mur der of Joe Hulsey, a special marshal at i circus of Forepftngh and Robinson, about four years ago at Roekmart, in Polk county. Mr.Wright came with him to Thomas ton yesterday and had the sheriff to arrest and put him in jail. The sheriff of Polk county telegraphed that he would be here to-day.

The grand jury indicted for murder Thomas Campbell and the York boys, all of whom had fled . A reward of $200 was offered for Campbell and a reward of $100 each for the York boys.

A THIN STORY- ~ ■ — ■ ■ -— An Alleged Somnambulist Attempts to Outrage a Young Girl. Special to The Banner. Newark, N. J., August 13.—Thomas Collins, aged 35 years,was arrested this morning for a fiendish attempt to out rage Annie O’Donnell, aged 15 years, daughter of A. O’Donnell, residing at 29 Bowery.

Special to the Banner. Washington, August 14,—The Com missioner of Indian Affairs, having re ceived a large number of applications for appointment as teachers in Indian chools, has sent the sollowin g reply to all applicants: “Your application for appointment as teacher lias been received. Inclosed please liml blanks to be filled out and returned.” It is the purpose of the office to ap point no person as a teacher in the In dian school service who would not be able to secure a similar position in the best schools for white children in the community in which he resides. Indeed, the exigencies of Indian schools are such as to require really a higher order of talent to secure success than is required in ordinary teaching. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that those who are engaged in the Indian school service should be persons of ma turity, of vigorous health, with some experience in teaehiug and with special fitness for the work. Preference is expressed for those who have had a normal school training. It is very undesirable that persons should enter the service who, by- reason of ill health, age or other infirmities, are un able to do full, vigorous work. changes in bringing about, the de sired change at Liverpool. $he Commissioners, in evidence of the general use of cotton bagging, caused general surprise by the statement that this yeae 3,000,000 bales of the entire cotton crop will be covered with cot ton bagging. This is a new departure, as jute has been generally used for the purpose. Owing to the formation of a Jute Trust last year, cotton growers are now engaged in a boycott of jute, and are substituting cotton bagging in stead. Liverpool cotton dealers are opposed to an allowance of tare on cotton bagging. Jute bagging weighs two pounds and a half to the yard, while cotton bagging weighs only three-quarters of a pound. This being the case, they claim that they receive so much less actual cotton when baled in jute. Liverpool has hitherto demanded a tare allowance of 6 per cent, on all cotton received at that port. .. - The Commissioners representing the Southern States yesterday made a state ment to the Special Committee of the Cotton Exchange, that caused a decided sensation. Their spokesman said plain ly that the Southern growers, were de cidedly in a position this year to dic tate their own terms. For the first time since the war they were now in a stronger position than over before to hold back their cotton. The Commissioners announced em phatically that they intend to force the MaiK^icstt'T mamTfatVrfnri^-TOi'COme—ru them and accept the cotton as delivered to them, whether it be in jute or cotton bagging. They denounced the Jute Bagging Trust in vigorous terms, and declared their intention of building their own mills, and by this means compelling consumers to yield. Mr. Hentz inquired whether by all this they intend to convey the idea that the Southern cotton growers propose to form a Trust, and the commissioners admitted that this would be the case. This frank statement caused a loud laugh, in which both sides joined heartily. A communication was read from the Liverpool Cotton Exchange declaring opposition to a special tare on cotton bagging, but agree ng to accept a tare on the basis of jute. This, however, does not satisfy the Southerners, who demand a special tare. After listening patiently to the de mands of the Commissioners, those gentlemen were informed by the ex change committee that, while the New York Exchange is not in a position to legislate on the subject, still they would instruct the secretary to draw up, on Bsp-Se,..- '..-"Tuimv M »nges, 50 Illustrate l T 'f-ii.21 'Mid ntri wn I'M'aJ Pain and Wg <; f females in-taJ. 5 pain-killing plaster m-tant v i new, oUr .nt • ' to Idlin’ 'L l ! w eaknesA.

This bill was aimed at railroad consolidation, providing for a feature of charters in certain states. It was extreme anti monopolist and was opposed by the conservative business men of the State, who argued that such measures would keep capital out of the State. The railroad committee tabled the bill. It may yet pass in some form, but before it does it will be shorn of all danger ous features.
