Trying to Suppress Riot County
Police Have Lively Time.
Atlanta, March 18.—In attempting
to suppress a riot and arrest the rioters
at a negro dance 1 mile from East Point
yesterday morning a squad of county
police had a desperate hand to hand
fight with a crowd of drunken negro
men and women and pistols and knives
were used* indiscriminately.
One of the county police had his hand
severely slashed with a knife and an
other was felled to the floor with a
heavy piece of timber.
Two negroes were cut, one shot and
three clubbed into submission.
The negroes had shot and cut each
ether before the arrival of the police.
Ten arrests were made and the rioters
are occupying cells at the Tower.
The affair is said to have been quite
exciting while it lasted, and for a few
minutes it looked serious for the offi
cers. It required quick and euergetic
work to subdue the drunken negroes,
who seemed determined to kill the po
lice and each other.

Dangerous.
Paris, March 16.—Count BonideCas-
ieikuie, the husband of Anna Gould,
fought a duel today with M. De Rodays,
whose jaws were boxed by Castellane on
■account of a newspaper article.
M. De Rodays was hit in the right

White Man Turned Ye.low.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of il. A. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: “After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured.” A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney troubles. Only 25c. Sold by

Republican Delegates to Convention.
Birmingham, Ala., March 16.—The
Republican county executive committee
has been called to meet here on Tues
day next at noon, the purpose being to
nominate six candidates for delegates to
the constitutional convention and a del
egate from the senatorial district. At
the same meeting the congressional dis
trict Republican committee will meet
and name two candidates to represent
this congressional district at the consti
tutional convention. The Republicans,
while opposed to a new constitution,
are hopeful of electing a sufficient num
ber of delegates in the event the con
vention carries to prove a strong minor
ity factor in the convention, thereby
preventing radical action on suffrage
and other questions.
Big Damage Suit.
Birmingham, Ala,, March 18.—In the
city court the Alabama Coal and Coke
company has filed suit against the Ivy
Coal and Coke company for $100,000
damages. The plaintiff alleges that the
defendant mines coal for certain of its
lauds, and sues for damages for the con
version of the same. It is alleged that
a0 0,000 tons of coal were so m.ued be
tween Jan. 1, 1898, and Dec 31, 1899.
The property in dispute is located in
Walker county.
Car Wheel Caused Wreck.
Leeds, Ala., March 18. —A defective
car wheel on an eastbonnd freight train
on the Southern railway caused a bad
wreck at Leeds. Quite a number of
cars were wrecked and passenger trains
were delaved many hours, it reqniriug
all night to clear the track. The train
men all escaped injury, but the property
damaged amounts to several thousand
dollars.
SHOT BY THE CONDUCTOR.
Desperate Negro Creates Sensation 011
FllecIric Car.
Birmingham, Ala., March 18.—Forest
Gooden, conductor on the Gate City
electric car line, shot and seriously
wounded a desperate negro while on
the late outgoing car. It seems that
fvlnle collecting fares Gooden was as
saulted by the negro. One negro paid
no attention to the conductor, being
either drunk or playing drunk. The
conductor shook the negro, when an
other negro, sitting behind the first one,
jumped up and savin
that he must not handle the passengers
so roughly, struck him a blow. The
conductor recoiled from the blow, and
when he came face to face again with
the negro the latter had a revolver out.
Before he could use it, however, the
conductor had his weapou in hand and
had fired on the desperate negro. The
bullet struck the negro in the abdomeD.
The conductor ordered his car backed

Rockefeller’s Interests Absorbed by
United States Steel Corporation.
New York, March 18.—The report is
circulated here that all the intesests of
John D. Rockefeller in the iron busi
ness, including mines, railroads and
lake transportation lines are to go into
the United States Steel corporation.
These interests include the Lake Supe
rior consolidated iron mines, which con
cern has a capital stock of $50,000,000, of
which $29,887,448.90 is outstanding. It
. was incorporated under the laws of
to the conductor 1 New Jersey in 1893 to acquire and ope-
" j rate iron mines in the Mesaba range,
Minnesota. The company owns exten
sive properties in this region and leases
I some of its mines to the Carnegie Steel

j turers. It owns the Duluth, Mesaba
I and Northern railroad, extending from
j Duluth to Iron Mountain, Minn., and

A Trainmaster of tile Plant System
Seriously injured.
Savannah, March 19.—In a fight with
thieves at Ashley Junction, near Charles
ton last night Curtis J. Youngblood,
trainmaster of the Plant railway system
at Savannah was seriously wounded
and George Watkins, a negro, was per
haps fatally shot in the abdomen. One
of the robbers was also shot.
For some time cars have been robbed
at Ashley Junction and Mr. Youngblood
left Savannah yesterday morning to try
to run down the robbers. He was car
ried out to Ashley Junction on a freight
train and found negroes robbing some
cars at siding. There was a general ex
change of shots with the result noted.
The robbers are in jail and Mr Young
blood and his negro assistant are at the
St. Xavier hospital Charleston.
Attempt to Wreck Train.
Savannah, Ga., March 18.—An at
tempt was made to wreck southbound
passenger train No. 33 on the Southern
railway, just north of Barnwell, S. C.
The attempt was partially successful,
the engine being derailed. Rocks and
iron were piled upon the track. When
No. 33 arrived within view of the ob
struction the speed was too great for
Engineer Broom to bring his engine to
a stop, and it crashed into the rocks and
iron with a force that caused it to leave
the track. Fortunately no one was in
jured.
Elbert County Tragedy.
Elberton, Ga., March 19.—News has
just reached here of another killing in
Elbert county. Dock-Parham, who was
supposed to have been drinking, went
to the home of his brother-in-law,
George Brown, in the upper part of the
county, and soon got into a difficulty.
Brown, it seems, ordered him away;
both drew weapons, and Parham was
killed, dying with a pistol and a pair of
brass knucks in his hands. Both par
ties were white, and the trouble seems
to have been a family affair.

CREMATION STORY A FAKE.
Reported Burning of Sixty Negroes

Mobile, March 16.—Careful investi

60 negroes in a turpentine camp fire in
Baldwin county shows that there is ab
solutely no foundation in fact for the
report.
A story was published this morning
to the effect that three negroes who Bad
been discharged fired the camp at night
out of revenge, and that 60 sleeping ne
groes had been burned to death.

Disposal of the Estate Attracts Wide-
tpread Interest.
New York, March 18.—The disposal
of the estate of the late George F. Gil
man of Bridgeport, Conn., continues to
attract attention both in this city and
at Bridgeport, Conn.
It is announced by one of the heirs
that Theophilus Gilman and Edward L.
Horton, the administrators appointed in
New York, have discovered $105,000 to
the credit of George F. Gilman in the
National Bank of North America in
New York city. Aside from the $750,-
000 worth of real estate involved in the
partition suit instituted in the New
York supreme court last Monday by
Frazier and Theophilus Gilman, half
brothers, this bank account is the most
valuable asset known to have been
fonud by the administrators in their
search through strong boxes and safety
deposit vaults. There is a growing be
lief among the heirs that the value of
the estate has been greatly overesti
mated and that it will not amount to
more than §3,000,000.

HAVE ORDERS TO EIRE
General Wogaek Says Trouble Was
Caused by Unwarrantable interfer
ence of British in Affairs of Russian
Concession.
Tein Tsix, March 19.—The excite
ment and anxiety here as to the possi
ble developments of the Anglo-Russian
siding dispute do not abate. A company
of British troops and a company of Rus
sian soldiers remain encamped on either
side of the trench, looking at each other.
The Russians have orders to fire on any
one commencing work.
General Wogaek says the trouble was
caused by the unwarrantable interfer
ence of tne British in the affairs of tho
Russian concession, and he adds that
the siding will not be continued unless
he receives orders from his own supe
riors.
Field Marshal Von Waldersee is ex
pected here today.
Both sides will appeal to him, but
they both consider the matter to be be
yond his authority and will await orders
from Europe.
London, March 19.—Some of the af
ternoon newspapers say the Tien Tsiu
difficulty has been arranged.
The misunderstanding was due to the
Chinese authorities granting the same
concession to two nations.
The arrangement enables Great Brit
ain to proceed with the construction of
the railroad siding, but if Russia’s con
cession proves to be earlier than that of
Great Britain the latter is to acknowl
edge the claims of Russia.
Tne foreign office, however, has no
information tending to confirm the an
nouncements of an arrangement having
been reached and the officials here are
in doubt that such an arrangement has
been arrived at. They say the original
concession was given up by Russia.

Reported Attack by French Not Se
riously Regarded.
Tiex-Tsin, March 19.—Speaking of
the attack made by a number of excited
French soldiers on some members of the
British Sikh regiment Sunday in the
French concession, General Lorne-
Campbell says it was merely a childish
outbreak against the orders of their own
general, who had forbidden the French
soldiers to enter the British concession.
This order followed a request made
by General Lome Campbell after almost
every resident had complained of the
behavior of the French insulting women,
refusing to pay for purches, acting
riotously and abusing American and
English soldiers. General Voyron, the
French commander, recognized that this
must stop and ordered the French sol
diers to keep in their own concession.
General Lome Campbell was perfectly
satisfied that General Voyron was in
harmony with himself and anxious to
maintain order.
Major Foote, Ninth United States in
fantry, says the French soldiers were
frequently abusive to the American
troops, who were unarmed while out on
pass, while the French were armed with
swords or bayonets. On one occasion
an American disarmed a Frenchman
and turned over his weapon to the ser
geant of the guard, explaining satisfac
torily his reasons for the action taken.
