The fire whistle was blown to call out the police and fire department also the volunteers to assist In rescuing some three hundred families who were hemmed in the “grove” or bottoms. The work proceeded as rapidly as was possible. The men in their work were greatly hampered by the rising water. An alarm was sounded at 10 o’clock last night calling the rescuers from the bottoms. The levees had broken above the city and there was great danger of the people being drowned. High wagons and boats were used in getting the unfortunates to the high ground.

Morris Park Rac k Track, May 3b This was the opening day at the track here and fully 25,000 persons took ad vantage of the clear and a trifle cooler weather to witness the races. The track was in excellent condition and everything about the grounds was in perfect order. Among the interesting events on the brilliant programme wefe the Cherry Diamond handicap and the Juvenile stakes. In the former race, Dr. Rice, the favorite started out well and was only once headed for a few jumps by Count. The straggle for the place between Restraint and Count was fierce, but the former secured it by the scant head. The race for the Juvenile stakes was onesided throughout, Prince of llonaco, haviug been the taskmaker from flag falls to finish.

Columbus, 0., May 3b —A special fro r Glouster states that striking mi ners stopped a Toledo & Ohio Central coal train loaded with West Virginia coal yesterday and detained it. This morning- another train was stopped there. The railway company appealed to Sheriff M. M. Riley to prevent this interference, but owing to the grea number of strikers, he decided to in voke military aid. There has been no conflict yet. Glouster is in the n "th em part of Athens county, at the _ unc tion of the Kanawha and Michigan and the Teledo an 1 Ohio Central railroads. It is in the heart of the Hocking valley mining region, aud the thousands of striking miners there have become desperate at seeing train load after train load of West Virginia coal go through to the northwest market. More Trains Attacked. Massillon, 0., May 31. —A party of 250 miners attacked three W heeling and Lake Erie trains laden with West Virginia coal as they passed through Herrodsville yesterday.

Denver, May 3b —Governor Waite last night left Denver secretly on the Rio Grande Road and arrived at Victor this morning where he is having a confer ence with the strikers. The nature of it has not yet developed. The governor says he goes to Cripple Creek as a knight of labor, to talk with his fellow knights No more war therefore, has been made. The strikers have warned the people they dislike to leave the town of Crip ple Creek. Deputy Sheriffs are still encamped at Divide and are being re inforced. It is not thought that Waites presence will stay a battle there, which seems inevitable, and the general be lief is that trouble will occur as soon as the governor leaves. The people of Colorado Springs and Denver are high ly incensed at the governor and his partiality to the strikers and the press is unanimous in condemnation of his acts, even the populist papers pointing out the errors. The Rocky Moun tain News denounces Waite. NEGRO COLONY IN MEXICO. Two and a Half Million Acres of Land Pur chased for That Purpose.

ALL SOUTHERN STATES REPRESENTED Governor Northen Welcomes the Delegates to Georgia—Governor* From Many States Attend—The Work Now in Progress. e Augusta, Ga.. May 3b—All details of organization and the order of business having been finished at the opening meeting yesterday, the (Southern Inter- State Immigration Congress begins its practical work this morning. Yesterday after the meeting was call ed to order by President Bryan, of Ten nessee, Mayor J. 11. Alexander, of Au gusta, welcomed the congress ou the part of the city. Mayor Alexander's speech was full of inter esting historical facts about Augusta, the oldest inland city in the south At lantic States, and the second establish ed by Oglethorpe. This city before the day of railroads being the furtherest inland city with liver navaga ion to the sea south of Virginia, was the point of comm unication with the outer world of all that territory embraced in North ern Alabama, East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, North Georgia and South Carolina. Here all this vast sec tion came in wagons to trade. He con tinued: “This city is mentioned in contemporaneous history in 1710, live years after the settlement was planted, as already in a state of great pros* perity, well equipped for trade, aud conducting an extensive traffic throughout the vast and fruitful tributary country. “It was here that Eli Whitney eondticted his experimental works and in i790 developed the cotton gin, one of the most tamo us industrial inventions of the world, which immediately rev olutionised the agriculture of this section from tobacco and indigo to cotton as its staple crop. In 1791, the whole cotton crop of the south was 38 bales. In li 00 seven years after Whitneys gin appeared, Georgia alone exported over 7,003 bales.” Hon. James R, Lamar Speaks. Following Mayor Alexander, Honor able Joseph R. Lamar, president of the Young Men’s Business league of Au gusta, which secured the convention for this city, welcomed the congress, and followed with more valuable, facts concerning- the Augusta of today. Tak ing simply the official census figures for ISSO he showed that Augusta had increased in the number of manufac turing establishments in the past de cade 033 per cent; in capital employ ment 275 per cent, in labor employed 275 per cent and in wages paid 350 per cent. Gov. Northen’s Welcome to Georgia. Governor Northen wekvjmUd the con gress on the part of Georgia and gave a glowing picture of her prog-ress and thrift. He declared the readiness of Georgia to welcome industrious imi grants who came to cast their lot here. Governor Northen was greeted with most enthusiastic applause. The southern people he said were grossly misunderstood and abused and from some cause, (he trusted it was from ig norance) misrepresented in their so cial and political conditions. lie con tinued: This convention should come to the defense of our civilization and let the world know that no people among the nations has a prouder re cord for law and order or a higher or a better civilization tnan the people we have the honor to represent. He recc m mended still more lib eral appropriations for schools and better high ways. Fnally, there is a spirit abroad in some sections with which personally I have no sym pathy. Undue antagonism to corporations is not only unwise hut it is destructive of the com mon good. Individuals as such, cannot main tain a state nor build • section. Corporations In their corporate capacity are just as essential to the thrift of a community as the individual farmers, physicians or any other class of its people. We cannot afford ruthlessly to destroy them. We cannot afford to do less than give them all needed protection and encouragement. In my honest judgment, this convention cannot do a better thing than say so far as they have the power to control the laws of uhe states at the south shall he such as to protect legitimate ly invested capital wherever at the south, it it shall be placed. (Prolonged applause) Welcome by Senator Walsh. I Fnited States Senator Patrick Walsh, whose home is here, welcomed the con gress and extended them the privileges of the commercial club of which he is president. Response to the addresses of welcome j were made by r Governor McCorkle of West Virginia, Governor Carr, of North Carolina and Governor Tillman of South Carolina. The latter declared it . was well enough to invite people and capital from the outside, and all that came would be welcome: for every dol lar of outside capital the southern peo ple must expend ten of their own, if they were in earnest about desiring to build up the south. President Bryan's Address. I At the conclusion of the addresses of welcomes and the responses, President Bryan addressed the congress. He ex plained the need for immigration in the southern states by contrasting the pop ulation per square mile of some of the states as follows : Massachusetts 287; Kentucky, which is the most densely populated of the southern states. 19; Rhode Island 2&1; Texas 8. He showed the material advance which has taken place in the ! south and called attention to the fact that edu ! rational advantages were keeping pace, the in ; crease having been 100 per cent, in the past de rade. in aporopriations by soathera states for this purpose, last year being over sixteen mil lions. Tne total value of school property in the south is ten millions; at m er of teachers ‘■4 . XX); white pupils two and a quarter millions; aegro pupils one and a quarter millions; pupils in private schools three hundred thousand; in paroc liul s.-hools forty tho-sand. He thought the time was ripe for the immigration move ment in the south, and telieved that by patriot ic and united effort on the part of the intelligent men composing the ongrdss somewise and . praetu ai plan would be adopted. At the afternoon ses'ion. permanent organization wqs affected by the re election of President M. T. Bryan of Tennessee, and Secretary B. F. Elliot, of Florida. It was decided that each state represented should vote according to its vote in the electoral college and each territory have on vote.

Ver dicts were also returned in a number of other suits ranging from $1,500 to 85,000. Then the city entered a plea of no cause of action, which was argued for three or more days before Judge Par lange. Judge Parlange decided that there was no cause for action in a lengthy but interesting opinion. The decision of Judge Parlange was sustained, the court holding that muni cipal corporations of this state are not liable for any damage done by mobs or riotous assemblages, except for dam age to property. Judge Parlange ren dered the decision, Judges McCormick and Locke concurring. MRS. FITZGERALD ACQUITTED. The Jury Brings in a Verdict After Six Minutes of Deliberation. New York, May 31. —The trial of In spector McLaughlin’s sister, Catherine M, Fitzgerald, ended with a verdict of acquittal after six minutes’ delibera tion by the jury.
