P esident Waddell Suggests a Meeting
Curing the Dixil nterstate
Fair.
|e Adrlief Conoerled Action Among tha
Farmers to Enable Thtm to Hold
Their Colton Tm the Price
Is Better Thau Row.
UNITED ACTION IS ADVISED
Atlanta. Oct. 17.—A meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Georgia State
-Agricultural Society has been called to
aeoaonble In Macon on the 24'th Inst:, to
“consider -the present ruinous price f
cotton, and to take some 6teps. If pos
sible, to remedy Impending disaster.”
The call 4s issued by Hon. John Wad-
dell( president of'the society. The meet
ing will take place on the second day of
the fair which begins at Macon on the
23d. President Waddell in issuing the
call says he wishes to bo distinctly un
derstood aa opposing «the selling of cot
ton to the Injury of creditors, but It i3
believed the beet interests of debtor and
creditor will 'be subserved if advances
can be secured on cotton so as to allow
It to be held over, thus stopping the
large daily receipts and at -the safne
time giving «the farmers the op^rtunity
of securing advances on their cotton 'by
which they can meet *thelr obligations,
and at 'the same 'time hold their cottoti
for better prices. Part of the call reads
as follows:
"A brief suggestion as to the plans
indicated: Money is plentiful and at *low
rrutos of interest In the banks. These
banks ami <'» minus*! on merchants, v ho
are our friends, can be Induced <to ad
vance a reasonable amount bn cotton
and thus allow the farmer to hold his
cotton another year, and at the same
time enable him to pay his obligations
to nearly the full amount of his cotton.
At present prices, it is impossible to
more than pay the dbst of cultivation,
packing, ginning and for guano, leaving
the farmer nothing with which to meet
other obligations. If -the plans and sug-
goRikms which you may promulgate
shail be adopted by the other cotton
states, we believe good results will fol
low. There can be no dbubt that the
cotton acreage will, of necessity, be
greatly roduced. and the crop reduesed
in consequence, and the cotton carried
over command better prices.”
ALL CLASSES PAY TRIBUTE.

TRIED BY TWO JUDGES.
Omaha. Neb.. Oct. 17.—The most re
markable situation in the history of the
district court was on 'this morning when
two different Judges in two different
rooms of the building were engaged In
hearing the same case.
Judge Scott, said to bo a personal en
emy of Rosewater, editor of the Omaha
Bee* announced last night that he would
certainly Insist on frying the criminal
libel uu/lt of -Sophia Bennett against
Rosewater, despite the request of the
editor for a change of venue, ana the
decision of the other five Judges that
the case should be 'taken from Judge
Scott and tnled before Judge Ambrose.
When court convened. Judge Scott look
up the case, being upheld and sustained
by the counity attorney, and entered on
t'he hearing of 'the motion to dismiss the
request for a change of venue.
Dins. Bennett declared It her lnteptlon.
(to refuse 'to prosecute before any other
Judge than Judge Scott. At the same
hour, Judge Ambrose called up the case
>.and continued it until 2 o'clock. Judge
Soo»tt heard an granted the motion to
dismiss, presented 'by Mrs. Bennett, and
delivered a long declaration of princi
ples, declaring the other judges to be
swayed by fear of Rosewater. He In
sisted fba»t the other Judges hart no
right^to transfer the case from his dock
et. but that he had exclusive jurisdic
tion. (He dismissed the motion. The
motion was etill efore Judge Ambrose
for a hearing this afternoon. Mrs. Ben
nett positively refused to recognize
Judge Ambrose's court In any manner,
and will stand by Judge Sbott. The gen-
eral feeling to. 'that, from a legal stand
point. Judge Scott Is right.
Later Judge Scott dismissed the case
agartnst Roeewater, on motion of the
ooiKrty wttomey. by request of the
plaintiff. Mrs. Sophia Bennett. Mrs
Bennett made this request because shii
feared she would lose her case other
wise. Sho wanted the case tried bo-
fore Judge Scott, but flve other Judges
had decided that Judge Ambrose was
the oqly right one to try it. and she
looked-upon the action of the flve Judges
as indicative of their determination to
dear Rosewater. ✓
Goff is Looking For Somebody Who
is Not Taxed.
New York, Oct. 17.—Chief Counsel
Goff continued to probe for evidences
of blackmail at the session of the
Lexow committee today. He produced
witnesses who testified that the police
officials were accustomed 1 to bleed the
proprietors of street soda water fount
ains on the east side.
Some one inquired whether he has
discovered any line of business that
has not paid tribute to police.
“I have not,” said Mr. Goff, "though
I have been searching over with a fine-
tooth comb.”
The first witness’of the day, Frank
H. Johnston, told the committee of
another source of revenue to the police.
His father is a caterer and, finding it
necessary at some of the suppers given
by the elite to stretch awnings across
the sidewalks, he had often given the
policeman assigned to .gtteud these af
fairs $5.
Senator O'Connor brought out tho
fact that there were at least 500 po
licemen assigned to watch the build
ings of private corporations. This ser
vice cost the city at least $6QP,000 an
nually and no compensating advan
tages were received.
Mr. Goff said that this estimate was
a low one and that the loss was
greater.
A man named Bey era,"proprietor of
a retail store, admitted on the stand
that he has challenged Inspector Wil
liams to fight a duel, Williams has
given Henry Malllavd, the candy man
ufacturer. whose building is located
next to the store of Beyer’s, the right
to use the sidewalk for hiH trucks.
Beyers complained and said that it In
terfered with his business, is macy of
his customers were ladies. Williams
said that there had never been a lfldy
In the store except his own wife. Dur
ing the controversy growlug out of this
affair Beyers has issued ills challenge.
“And that challenge stands today,'
he said, dramatically, as he concluded
his testimony.
A aon of Beyers told a long story of
a suggestion of Detective Dalton to
the effect that that officer told Mm
that things would be squired If ho
would give Williams a gold table in
the window worth $200. Williams did
not get the table, however.

STORY OF THE RIOT.
Columbus, O., Oct. 17.—A special
from Wasliingtop Court House, O.,
saysv j
As darkness came on a crowd of
1,500 people shrrouuded the court
house and Jail, which are in one build
ing! yelling: Lynch him, lynch him.”
Finally some one threw a stone, which
struck a ydlfticr on tile breast. Then
Col. CoSt, whoso anger was aroused,
addressed the people in language which
was very plain and forceful. Ho told
them not to repeat tho 'offense.
“If you want to injure any one,”
said he, “hit mo and not tliu&o young
men,” and with hat uplifted he walked
over into the crowd aiul said: “Hero
I am,” Ills face ashen w.tli anger. The
crowd gathered around him but not a
man lifted his bauds to strike the col
onel. It was probably well they did
not, for standing on the court house
steps-’wero the soldiers with guns
loaded, waiting an order to fire. The
crowfr siirgedi closer and closer to tho
court- house steps, becoming bolder ua
the darkness increased.
THE ORDER TO I IRE.
C*!. Colt addressed them again, or
rather attempted to do so, but they
woQld not listcu to him. He shouted
that he would have to order tho rol-
dlers to fire if they did noi fall back,
but on they came, .and finally the order
to» llr5 was given.. Many were seen to
fail, and the mob fied' like a lot of
frightened sheep. Thb dead are:
Smith*' Welsh, 18 years of age, son
of a grocery man, shot lu tho head and
abdomen.
Jess July, 25 years old, shot In breast
and abdomen. He was a laborer.
M&uk Johnson of Williamsburg,
Brown county, shot in the bowels.
The wounded are:
William Sam, 32 years old, a laborer
from 'Adams county, working here.
Theodore Ammernian, shot In right
thigh.
Frarfk Nelterhouse, an aged mun,
shot in left h*g.
George Keating, 14 years of age,
shot In groin anil in both legs.
Frank Smith, flesh wound In the foot.
Dial Parrott, 20 years old, shot In
right foot.
John McCone, flesh wound in foot.
Th'ncst Elli*, shot in foot.
Others were undoubtedly Injured, but
these arc the most seribnsly'liurf,
BROKE DOWN THE DOOR.
Tlie crowd secured a battering ram
and began to beat down the door. Not
a shot was fired by jlin soldiers until
the ddffl’ fell In. wheel the troops Unal
tho volley which resulted so fatally.
The. remainder of the soldiers wero
stationed ot the fouth entrance, un
mindful that a portion of tlio crowd
was making nn attempt to batter down
the door at the north entrance Tho
first fright following tho volley having
died away, the mob became more bois
terous and bold again. They gathered
about the court house, and though still
maintaining a respectful distance, nt-
tered loud Imprecations against Iho
troops, and fears were entortaimNl for
their safety If reinforcements did not
come qulokly.
THREATEN AN EXPLOSION.
The crowd Is now* making an attempt
to secure dyrtamlte aud Mvoar that
they will blow up the court hou*<
The wounded and dead are being ca
Tied Into the engine house anti tli
stores near by. It looks very much as
If the prisoner would bo secured before
morning.
At 9 o'clock tonight AdJ. Gen. How
ordered out a« addition* force ba’ttery
“B” of the First Artillery of Cincin
nati. Sheriff Cook of Fayette county,
telegraphed Gen. How#* as follows:
'The rumor Is correct. Three hav<
been killed and eight or ten wounded."
The first message was reo#>ive<l from
Col. A. B. Colt, in command of the
st.Vie troops, at Washington, C. H.,
since the report of the assault at 10
o'clock. It was addressed Gen. Howe,
and was an fallows:
"Your telegrams Just received,
reinforcements have yet arrived. We
can hold the court hout<e for hours;
the doors wero broken ' In and ' the
guards fired on tho mob. Reported to
u* that two were killed and three
wounded.
"It is reported to fhe sheriff that
the mob has broken Into the powder
house and 'taken the powder. It Is
the most determined rnob I ever s
The troops used every •precaution
pleaded and begged Of the men
peaceably dtoperse. Our men are lU
right now.”
TtiOOK’iS RUSHED FORWARD.
AdJ. Gen, Hwe■ has been unable to
get any answer from Col. Colt and
Sheriff Cook. He believe* that the
mob has them surrounded nad that
•they have cut off communication to
move the troops ordered Jo Col. Colt's
aid. At 10 o’clock the troops from
Marysville, and those to go from here,
joined them over a special train over
the Midland railway. Vt Is thlrty-oevcn
miles from here to Washington, C. H.
Gen. Howe urged ithe railway com
pany to send the train forward at the
utmost speed. He 'has arranged that
the train bearing the Cincinnati Hroopa
shall reach there about the aame (time,
so that there can be no question about
having a sufficient force on the ground
•to control ’the mob .When the first sol
diers (arrive. The mob Is so Incensed
agatust the soldiers now 'that a. amall
force would be in danger there.
• Gen. Howe Is afraid, the mob In Its
frenzy, over the shooting of the citi
zens, may try to blow up the whole
Jail and court house. The command
of Col. CoFt is now in the Jail and
this would result in a terrible loss of
life. , t ^
"If they can hold the Jail against the
mob for half nn hour longer." said
Gen. Howe at 10:30 tonight, "I think
the danger will be over. I will have
enough troops in Washington, C. IL.
by that time -to control all tho people
In Fayette county."
The safety of the little command
of Ool. Colt, consisting ot seventy-five
men, -and the Inmates of the Jail 'anu
'the Jail officers, as well as 'the wretched
prisoner, whose 'beastly crime has
caused all the rioting and (bloodshed,
depends upon the ovents of the next
half hour. , . . ,
It la Gen. Howe’s intention to bring
the 'prisoner Dotby, to tho state prison
'tonight under guard of the troops,
as soon as the mob that surrounds the
Jail is dispersed.
GREAT TROUBLE IMMINENT.
CincVnnutl, Oct. 17*—A dispatch, .to the
Inquirer from Washington, C. #1. saya;
Upon tne firing, the mob dtapitsed lu
aW directions, immediately all places
of business In tile city wero shut up..
Mayor Creamer peremptorily closed all
places where llquora wore sold. Every
street was filled with people. No -time
was lost in carrying away tho dead
uud wounded. Business houses and
the ehglne house were converted /i\o
hospital*. All the surgeons in the city
wero allied Into service. Mothers, sli-
tors, wives, swetAbeasl* crowded round
the dead and wounded and added pa
thos to the eceno and fire 'to the ltvge
of the mob by their lamentation^-
Against the militia the Undguatlon was
vicious and vehement, IC pervaded all
classes. As the time passed the -mob
grew in "size and fury. All the roads
leading to the city -were filled with
men on horseback, In wagons n.nd oil
foot, pushing with all possible speed
to the scene of bloodshed, braithink
vengeance cut every atop. Meanwhile
in Washington C. H. a search was
going on for arms and ammunition
and dynami'te. Shouts wee heard of:
"Down with 'the mintin'," ,r Slow up
the dogs along with the black fiend."
These shouts bat feebly expressed the
pent-up pas3ln of everybody, for every
body was in the streets, and all In the
streets were numbers of tho mob, ns fur
at least as personal feelings were coh-
corned.
There was certainly organization of
the forces going on* for .that ominous
atlfinws 'that forebodes excitement and
deadly resolution succeeded the obulf-
fckm of fooling. Men moved about as if
bent on business, but said nbthlng.
There Is no doubt n purpose 'to blow Up
the court house waih on foot. A full
moon lit up every approach to the court
house. If military rclnTbrcements do
not reach here before the mqon goes
down, there is danger of funthcr blood
shed between tho mijb and militia; awl
in case the mob siroceods, 'there is clan
ger that many of the militia will share
the fate of the human bruite, DoIIey. -
TRQDPS FAILED TO GET HERE.
Cincinnati, Oct. H.-The First regiment

glory, though tho railroad company 1*
