BATTLE AT TRACY CITY.'
Miners Mate a Desperate Etlcrt to Lit
erate tie ConTicts.
Bullets Fir Thick and Fast—The
Killed and Wounded.
Another desperate attempt was made
at midnight Wednesday night to liber
ate the convicts at Tracy City, Tenn,
The stockade was attacked by about
seven hundred miners, but were re
pulsed by the guards. In the fight one
miner was killed and five wounded,
two of whom may die.
THE OLD GRIEVANCES.
After the destruction of the stockade
last summer and the liberation of the
convicts, the miners at Tracy City
were in high glee. For a time they
labored under the impression that they
had forever driven the convicts out of
the mountains of Grundy county and
that they would no longer be forced to
contend with that obnoxious class of
labor. However, it was but a short
time until the zebras again bobbed up
at the mines in an increased number.
The stockade had been rebuilt and
strengthened, and an additional guard
force had been employed. A spirit of
revenge still lingered in the breasts of
many of the younger and more head
strong element. They talked over
their alleged wrongs while at work in
the mines, discussed them in small
groups and at last began to hold secret
meetings in the wooded fastnesses.
One Sunday about a month ago, a
meeting was held by these malcontents,
and at its conclusion a couple of dyna
mite cartridges were exploded as a sig
nal that the attack would soon be
made. Some two weeks ago, another
meeting at which there were about
thirty miners were held and the plan
of attack agreed upon, which was that
attempted to be carried out on Wed
nesday night.
Early in the day the Tracy City
agents of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company received what they deemed
reliable information that the stockade
would be attacked that night. This
information was at once conveyed to
the officials at the stockade and to
President Baxter in Nashville. That
gentleman at once notified Adjutant
General Fite and the troops were or
dered to be in readiness to move at a
moment’s notice. A telegram was
sent to Warden Burton, who was
in Nashville on business, and he
left at once for the scene of
trouble, arriving there about 11 o’clock.
Deputy Shriver had not been idle,
and when his chief reached the stock
ade, he found about forty men on
guard, amply supplied with ammuni
tion. Pickets had been posted outside
of the stockade and spies had been de
tailed to ascertain the time and meth
od of attack. It had been brought to
the attention of the deputy warden
that the attack would be made at 1
o’clock in the morning of Wednes
day. Shortly after dark, great
black clouds banked up against
the sky and as the night wore on
they began to roll and the light,
ning to flash. It was an ominous
scene, and just such a night as would
suit the dark purposes of the malcon
tents. The convicts were restless as
the guards moved to and fro, and
seemed to realize that probably the
long looked for opportunity to regain
their liberty was about to come. They
had heard of the threatened attack, and
as they lay in their cots, discussed it
in whispers.
THE KNOCK AT THE GATE.
A few minutes before 11 o’clock
Wednesday night Deputy Shriver,
Sheriff Sanders and ex-Sheriff DeJar
nett heard a loud knock at the stock
ade gate. Instantly the ponderous
gate swung back on its hinges and
there, in the gloom, stood three men
heavily armed.
“Upon what terms will you release
the convicts?” asked the taller of the
men, a strapping young fellow of about
twenty-five years.
“They will not be released at all,”
replied the brave deputy.
“Well, we’ll have them,” said the
leader, at the same time saying that he
and his companions represented seven
hundred miners, and that theo had
the dynamite and the arms to do it
with. Then he held up in his hand a
dynamite cartridge, and was on the
eve of making a threatening move
ment when the deputy warden and the
sheriff seized him and dragged him in
side the gate and closed it. As soon
as their companion was seized, and
before the guards could get their
hands on them, the other two walked
rapidly away, brandishing their arms
as they went. Sheriff Sanders order
ed the guards to fire upon them, hut
for some reason this was not done.
SHOTS FROM EVERT SIDE.
The captured miner had hardly been
gotten inside the little room near the
gate before the guard heard the patter
of the leaden hail from a score of
weapons. By a preconcerted signal
the shots came from every side of the
6tockade and the garrison was for a
moment carried completely off their
feet. The miners had closed on the
stockade and were actually poking the
muzzles of their guns through the
portholes. In an instant the guards
were at their posts, and then the salute
from the outside was answered by a
volley from the “ins.” The miners,
however, had the advantage as the
light on the inside enabled them to see
every movement of the beleaguered
guards. The latter, however, took to
the upper portholes and then the bat
tle raged furiously for a few minutes.
Fully five hundred shots were fired,
and every man on the inside expected
every moment to be his last.
Deputy Shriver had climbed to the
second story of the stockade, where he
could look down on the besiegers. He
had hardly gotten into the room before
a miner saw him in the lamplight and
drew a bead on him. Shriver, how
ever, saw his game and both ffred al
most simultaneously. Shriver was shot
twice in the right side of the face, while
his adversary, who proved to be a
miner named Bob Irvine, fell dead in
his tracks. In the meantime the captured
leader, who proved to be a young
miner named Joe Grantham, had been
released by Sheriff Sanders and the
guards upon a promise that he would
go out and stop the firing. He played
the traitor, however, for after his re
lease, Guard Walden received a full
charge of several shots in his chest,
stomach and bowels, the shot coming
from a gun stuck through one of
the portholes. The leaden balls
from the stockade began to
grow too hot, and when Irvine had
fallen a victim to Shriver’s unerring
aim and several others had been seri
ously wounded, the besieging party
broke for a near hill overlooking the
stockade, where for an hour or so they
fired down on the guards.
About 12 :30 o’clock a. m. rain began
to fall and the firing, though continu
ing at intervals, had no effect. By day
light the miners had disappeared.
CARLISLE’S STATEMENT.
He Has Something to Say in Regard to
• the Financial Sitnalion,
Gold Will Be Paid for Certificates as
Long as it is Available.
A Washington special says: Sec
tary Carlisle, Thursday night, made
the following statement regarding the
financial situation. In the exercise of
discretionary power conferred upon the
secretary of the treasury by the act of
July 14, 1890, he has been paying gold
for the coin of treasury notes issued
for the purchase of silver bullion, and
he will continue to do so as long as the
gold is lawfully available for that pur
pose. Under this process the govern
ment has been and is now paying gold
for silver bullion and storing the silver
in its vaults, where it is as useful for
any purpose of circulation or redemp
tion as iron, lead or any other commod
ity. The government, in the first place,
issued a coin treasury note in payment
for silver bullion, and the coin treas
ury note is presented at a subtreasury
and gold is paid out for it, so that the
effect is precisely the same as if the
gold was paid direct instead of silver
in the first instance. About SBOO,OOO
of the gold, which was withdrawn from
the subtreasury on last Tuesday for
shipment abroad, was paid out on
these coin treasury notes. No order
has been made to stop the payment of
gold upon these notes; nor has any
one been authorized to say that such
an order would be issued. The pur
pose of the government is to preserve
its own credit unimpaired and main
tain the parity of the two metals by all
lawful means.
“In view of the existing legislation,
the only question for consideration is
as to the measures that ought to be
adopted to insure tho accomplishment
of these purposes, and upon this ques
tion, there is, of course, room for wide
difference of opinion. The total stock
of gold coin and gold bullion now in
this country, including what is held by
the treasurv as well as what is held by
the banks and individuals, amounts to
about $740,000,000. When I came
into the treasury department on the
7th day of March, the amount of gold
on hand had been reduced to $987,000,
but by arrangements with western
banks, it was increased until on the
first of April it amounted to nearly
$8,000,000. The heavy shipments be
gan to be made, and two days ago we
had only about $40,000, but now it
amounts to $885,000, after deducting
what w r as withdrawn from the sub
treasury Thursday for shipments.
“Arrangements are now in progress
by which more gold is to be procured
from the west, and I hope that a suf
ficient quantity will be secured to keep
the gold reserve intact. There is gold
enough in the country to meet all the
requirements of the situation, and if
all who are really interested in main
taining a sound and stable currency
would assist the secretary of the treas
ury to the extent of their ability, the
existing difficulty would soon be re
moved.”
In addition to this statement, Secre
tary Carlisle said SBOO,OOO in gold had
been taken out of the sub-treasury in
New York Thursday for export. The
class of money paid into the sub
treasury for this gold withdrawal in
cludes $400,000 in gold certificates,
which to that amount did not reduce
the gold reserve because they them
selves were practically gold. So the
actual gold reduction of the day was
only $400,000, leaving the balance as
stated above. This is the first consid
erable amount of gold certificates paid
into the sub-treasury for gold export
for many years and encourages the
treasury officials to hope that the banks,
seeing the situation, will continue to
present gold certificates in part pay
ment at least for gold withdrawn for
export.
A FEELING OF SECURITY.
A Washington special of Sunday
says: The feeling among the treasury
officials, public men generally and
commercial financiers is that the worst
is now over, and that the “scare” will
gradually pass away under the belief
that Secretary Carlisle’s action of Fri
day is, in effect, an announcement of
the policy of the administration with
regard to gold payments. It is now
known that Secretary Carlisle, early
on Friday, telegraphed the sub-treas
urer at New York to continue the pay
ment of gold for silver certificates.
Secretary Carlisle is giving his whole
time to a study of operations of the
treasury, and to listening to the ideas
and advice of more or less able finan
ciers.
TO LIE IN STATE.
The Train Bearing Jefferson DaTis ,
Remains Will Stop in Atlanta.
The train that is to carry all that is
mortal of Jefferson Davis from New Or
leans to Richmond for its last rest will
reach Atlanta on the afternoon of May
29th. The casket that contains the bones
of the dead Ex-President of the confed
eracy will be taken to the state capitol
where it will lie in state for several hours
that afteinoon, The train will leave on
the night of the 29 b, delaying but two
or three hours in Atlanta, and will go
direct to Richmond, where the final
burial will occur on the 30tb.
There will be quite an appropriate
celebration of the event at Richmond.
All of the camps of the confederate sur
vivors will turn out from all sections ol
the state that day to witness the inter
ment. It will be one of the grandest
days Richmond has ever experienced
since the days of fright'ul warfare
around the old city that was the home ol
the confederacy.
MILES 01 WRECKED HOMES.
Tbc Result ot a Terrific Cyclone in Mis
sissippi and Arkansas.
Houses Scattered to the Four Winds
aod Hundreds of People Killed.
A Meridian, Miss., special says:
When a heavy cloud gathered Wednes
day afternoon and threatening clouds
lowered, the thought uppermost was
that a cyclone was brewing and when
time went by and Meridian escaped, as
if by a miracle, news was anxiously
awaited from other points. Rumors of
cyclones throughout Jasper and Clarke
counties were rife, but not until the
delayed New Orleans and Northeastern
train reached the city at 1 o’clock a.
m., could particulars be obtained.
From the conductor and others of the
train crew and passengers, the follow
ing particulars were learned:
The cyclone originated in Jasper
county, thirty-five miles south of Me
ridian and traveled in a northeasterly
direction with the peculiar whirling gy
ratory motions characteristic of cy
clones. A settlement of negro cabins
was destroyed and many of the unfort
unate inmates perished.
Colonel Berry’s magnificent planta
tion was swept clean, but fortunately
none of his family were injured. Sev
eral negroes on his plantation were se
riously hurt. Here the cyclone per
formed the freak of bodily lifting a
house from the ground, sweeping away
the floor and foundation, and replac
the house were it originally stood.
Dr. T. J. Ivrouse, a planter of large
interests, was a heavy loser. Every
stick of timber on his place was car
ried away and every house demolished.
Dr. Ivrouse was himself badly hurt,
and his son is lying at the point of
death from injuries received. Mrs.
Krouse and Miss Lizze Krouse were
rescued from the debris unhurt except
from severe contusions.
A WHOLE FAMILY ROASTED.
A negro on Dr. lirouse’s place
with his wife and nine children, wer6
imprisoned under tho ruins of his cab
in and fire,originating from the kitchen
stove, slowly roasted the unfortunate
wretches who pitiously begged that
death might come and release them
from sufferings.
After leaving Krouse’s place, the cy
clone cut a swath three hundred feet
wide through a section of land densely
timbered. The heavy oaks went down
like a sheaf of wheat under a cloud of
grasshoppers and all along the remain
der of the route the houses crumbled
like air castles exposed to the score!#
ing rays of the noonday sun.
Three miles east of Barnett the wind
struck a neighborhood of frugal farm
ers. Tom Lett’s dwelling was engulfed
and he escaped with a broken leg, while
other members of his family were
slightly bruised. John Smith had his
house swept away and escaped with
cuts and bruises. From here for a
space of five miles the country is rather
thinly settled, but now the remains of
several negro cabins and a wide stretch
of felled timber mark the cyclone’s
deadly march, while the luckless late
inhabitants of the cabins are nursing
their wounds in the brush.
At other places in the track of the
storm a number of dwellings were
demolished but no fatalities occurred.
Twenty miles east of Barnett the
storm crossed the Mobile and Ohio
railroad tracks, tearing down the tele
graph wires and obstructing the track.
After crossing the Mobile and Ohio
tracks north of Schubutta in nearly
the same track pursued by the cyclone
of a month ago, the storm struck
Bob Floyd’s plantation, unroofing
and demolishing a number of negro
cabins.
The fury of the storm can be better
imagined when it is stated that in
some instances common pine shingles
were driven through huge trees. Be
yound Floyd’s place, the cyclone still
pursuing a northeasterly course, pass
ed through many thickly populated
settlements, but reports are coming in
slowly. Such as are coming, however,
indicate an awful loss of life and prop
erty. All along the thirty miles of
the cyclone’s path is strewn the dead
carcasses of horses, cattle and all de
scription of live stock, while the farm
ing lands, with crops just coming up,
are so incumbered with debris that it
will be impossible to till them this
season.
VERY HEAVY LOSSES.
The loss in dollars cannot be esti
mated with accuracy, but it will reach
into tUe Hundreds of thousands. The
distressing feature is that those
visited by the storm’s fury are for the
most part small holders, farmers with
moderate means who lose all they pos
sess in the world, and will be compelled
to start anew. This is the third time a
cyclone has traversed nearly the same
track in the past two months, and ow
ing to that fact it is highly probably
that the major portion of the waste
thus created will not be rebuilt.
HAVOC IN FOURCHE VALLEY.
News was received at Little Rock,
Ark., Wednesday, of a fearful cyclone
that swept down Fouche valley, Scott
county, a few days ago, leaving death
and havoc in its wake. The news of
the terrible destruction was late in
reaching the outside world on account
of the absence of railroads and tele
graphic communication in the part of
the state where it occurred. The town
of Bolles, sixteen miles northeast of
Dallas, was almost swept off the map.
Building, outhouses and fences were
blown half a mile and scattered in
fragments. Dozens of trees were up
rooted and carried in front of the
storm.
A number of lives were lost, but a
correct report cannot be obtained. It
is known that seven persons were kill
ed. Large houses were lifted off their
foundations as if they were straws and
dashed to piecs. The path of the cy
clone was a half mile in width.
At Quitman, Miss., twenty-six miles
south of Meridian, on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, the havoc wrought by
the cyclone near that village is greater
than at first reported. The storm
barely missed Quitman, passing two
hundred yards north and tearing the
timber around. Reports of casulties
were still coming in. Though but
few were killed outright, yet several
of the wounded are not expected to
live.

To one part risen white bread sponge
add two parts of Graham flour, a little
Indian meal, salt. Wet up, mix, add
a half teacup of molasses to a loaf.
Have the dough very soft. Knead
well, set to rise. It takes longer to
bake than white bread. Bake in a
steady oven.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the neea3 of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Making Shoes Waterproof.
Shoes can easily be made waterproof
and snow-resisting by the aid of a lit
tle paraffin disolved in benzine. A
very little paraffin is needed, and only
enough benzine to dissolve it and
make it flow easily. The preparation
can be brushed over the uppers and
over the soles, and as it dries almost
as fast as put on, the shoes are ready
for wear without any delay. The par
affin presents a firm waterproof sur
face, and does not look amiss, although
it w r ill not take a shine like unprepar
ed leather. But it will resist any
amount of wet and is very convenient
in snowy weather. The preparation
differs, in that instead of making the
leather stiff and hard, it makes it very
soft and pliable. The mixture can be
applied to patent leather tips and to
uppers composed entirely of that ma
terial, but it takes off the brilliancy of
these stylish articles to be used very
extensively for that purpose, although
when the paraffin has worn off, the
polish appears as brilliant as ever.

went, an’ then eat it myself.”

“A SUCCESS.”
F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo, 0., Gentlemen:—
I have suffered from catarrh for about five years
and have tried several remedies without relief
until I commenced to use Hall’s Catarrh Cure last
February. I must say that it is a A SUCCESS,
the dropping in my throat disappeared entirely
after the first bottle. It increased my appetite, so
that I now weigh eight pounds more than my cus"
tomary weight. I have recommended it to others
and all who used it have been greatly relieved and
speak highly of it. One of them was in my store
yesterday and expressed his wish to peddle it this
winter. Will you please let me know the lowest
terms you could furnish it for, as I would like to
keep it in stock. Hoping to hear from
soon, I remain, Yours respectfully,
R. C. HAUSWEDELL,
Lake City, Minn.

It is now a “Nostrum,"
I hough at first it was com
pounded after a prescription
by a regular physician, with
no idea that it would ever
go on the market as a proprie
tary medicine. But after
compounding that prescrip
tion over a thousand times in
one year, we named it “Piso’a
Cure for Consumption,” and
began advertising it in a
small way, A medicine
known all over the world is
the result.
Why is it not just as good
as though costing fifty cents
to a dollar for a prescription
and an equal sum to have it
put up at a drug store?
