, i L „ band, marched through all the
streets, and such expressions as
<r Ce frequently heard from the crowd:
'•White folks down, nigger on top;” -The
bottom rail is on top at last etc. The
whole affair was very offensive to the citi-
“ bm no interference was made to the
nrocessioo. The most prominent person
in the procession was a white man named
Henry E. Kreutz, a bar keeper of this
‘V .p He was on horse-back, and rode up
[' I g own the lines and seemed to be the
crawl master of tho day, and at times mado
L of very offensive and violent language
against the prohibitionists. Last night he
had a large crowd of drunken negroes in
his bar and spoke to them in the bitterest
terms 'against the prohibitionists, and
especially about the ladies of the town who
had taken part in the prohibition campaign.
He used the most offensive language that
could be said about a lady. Several white
men who were near heard the remark and
took it up, and a general fight euaned.
When tl • lircnmstancea b rcamejgencrally
bo*B this morning, the town was worked
np to a fever heat, and there was strong talk
o! Using violent hands on Kreutz. About
fortr of the most prominent citizens, both
prohibitionists and antis, waited on Kreutz
end requested him to leave town before 5
o’cloek this evening. He tried to explain
matters by saying that he was drunk and
was not responsible for what he said, but
no eicuse, would be listened to by the in
dignant citizens, nnd Kreutz left about 11
o'clock in his buggy, and it is thought that
he has gone to bis place in Laurens county.
The following circular waa distributed oil
orer (own this afternoon:
"Citizens of MiUedgeville, Attention! To
day's occurrences necessitate a general
meeting of all who love and respect their
mothers, wives and daughters, and who in
tend to see them honored and respected.
Therefore let every man in MiUedgeville
mettio the opera bonse at 7:30 o'clock to
take counsel together.”
Promptly at 7iW o’clock, about three
hundred of the beBt citizens of the town
and county met at the opera honsc. Dr. I.
L Harris, one of the oldest citizens of the
piece, was called to the chair. After calling
the meeting to order, Mr. Lyman H. Comp
ton was elected secretary.
The chairman stated that the object of
the meeting waa to take some action in tho
Kreutz tuatter. (some one made a motion
to adjourn, but it waa lost.
Captain Newell offered a resolution that
the chair appoint a committee of ten to
draw up suitable resolutions for the meet
ing. Carried.
The following was the committee: Col.
Htmtcr, Mr. W. H. Scott, Captain Craw
led, Ur. W. a Hall, T. T. Windsor, Joseph
Sulv, Dr. T. O. Dowell, B. T. Bcthune, F.
IklUpn and G. T. Whilden. The com
mitter drew up the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted by the
meeting:
"Thu citizens of MitledgeVille assembled
tm ealt do resolve:
‘Tint We strongly condemn the lawless
assemblage of negroes in Millcdgevilie yes
terday, their disorderly, insolent nnd inde
cent Wtnior, and tho malignity showed
by many of them toward the whiff people,
"Second—Wo more errncstlv denounce
the conduct of any whites who forparposes
of election or otherwise, have by word or

i.udish sentiment of hatred by these igno

‘Third. -Whereas, H. E. Kreutzi-qmnni

disorders by riding in Hue with them, fur
nishing them with liqnor, leading and cheer
ing them through our streets, and coun-
* lling them to insolence toward our people
and esp cially toward ladiea; and whereas,
certain citizens have this morning warned
•aid Kreutz to leave this county at once,
and which warning ho has hastily actual
upon, we most caardiallv approve the action
°‘ th, se gentlemen, anal adopt it as our own.
“Fourth. We gladly commend the good
conduct of the many of onr colored citizens,
whose conduct in this, ss in all instances, os
zuu au.1 law-abiding.
"Ucsolved, That the local papera, Macon
Tti muui u and Atlanta Conilitution be
quested to publiah the above.”
oeverial aud plain talks were msdo nnd
the meeting throughout was orderly. Before
adjourning, the following resolution, offered
b J Mr. B. T. Bethune, wan unanimously
earned:
"Ucsolved that we, the citizena of Mil
■cdgevilte, ilo heartily sympathize with the
family of Mr. Kreutz, and that we will give
“cm every help and protection in onr
power."
The meeting then adjourned, subject to
the civil of tlie chairman.
It is well to state that the meeting waa
son-partisan, and was attended by both
antia and prohibitioniats and also by about
•• veuty-five colored |>eople.

HER SENTIMENTAL HISTORY.
The Story of a Woman's Ufa as Learned
from gome rumpled Keepsakes.
Chicago News.
A woman from her earliest consciousness
inclines to reminiscence. As she grows up
she stamps each notable adventure and each
pleasant friendship upon her mind by some
token. Our dime museums, with their
meagre oollection of odds and bite, would
lisle into notbingnesg when compared with
he bottom drawer of a girl’s bureau. This
she generally devotes to her keepsakes. At
the age of five she begins storing it with
horse-chestnuts and broken bits of oolored
pencil* given ber by dear friends, Soma of
those are the mysteries of the "secrets"
which are the life of childhood's
freemasonry. By ten she has a gold-
>iece, generally bestowed by a bach-
or uncle, and perhaps some tokens
from friends that are dead. There are
pressed fonr-lcaved clovers, pin-cushions
with zoological tendencies, gray-flannel
rabbits and such, a few carefully preserved
valentines, some bottles that once held per
fumery aud now present only a fading rec
ollection to the nostrils. At seventeen she
has some faded violets, some looks of hair,
a few sere]* of dried orunge-peel, a collec
tion of dancing programmes, sad, carefully
tncked in the furthermost corner, a bundle
of notes tied with a bluo ribbon. As tlie
yeurs pass still the treasures increase. By
and by tha wedding slippers are laid agpy
in the drawer which bolds the valentines
and still, an tha yenrs pass, comes a pair of
the wee'st shoes kicked ont at heel, and a
silken curl, which shows a silvery gold in
tbe light. After this the keepsakes are
fewer, and are oftener tbo souvenirs of sad
days than of glad ones. Finally, after a
lung time, sumo one lays away in the drawer
a thumbed red testament, with a lock of
gray hair aud a thread-thin wedding-ring.
Then tho drawer is locked.
Later in tho afternoon, while the Qneen
was rilling in an open carriage in Hyde
Park, accompanied by the Princess Beatrice,
a poorly-dressed man elbowed bis way close
to the carriage and threw something into it.
Great excitement was created nnd the mnn
waa hurried nwa.v by the police. The first
impression was that some mischief waa in
tended and that a missile or explosive had
been thrown. It, however, proved to be a
petition, in an incoherent and disjointed
fashion, from an evidently insane man, for
relief or redress. Tho man offered no resis
tance and mode no effort to escape. His
identity baa not yet been established.
ANAK0HY IN BELGIUM.
The Hinera' Strike Extending All Over the
Klnadom.
BavsacLs. March 24.—The strike began
by miners at Liege a fortnight ago is extend
ing all over Belgium. It bus practically as
sumed an immense demand by the miners
of tbe country for on increase of wages. ac
companied by a decrease in hours of labor.
ThiH labor movement at Liege la under the
control of anarchists, and tho city is at
their mercy. In many instances mobs of
anarchists have stopped people in the
Btreeta and demanded money, threatening
violence if it was not given them. They
have also broken windows in a great num
ber of houses and shops. The garrison is
confined within barracks in readiness for
service. A pamphlet called "The Catechism
of the People" ih being indnstriously circu
lated.
It teaches the doctrine of general redis
tribution of wealth and urges llia use of
force to accomplish ita practice. A large
number of warranta for the arrest of per
sons engaged in disturbaneca have been
burned. A man named Van Wagener waa to
day sentenced to six montia' Imprisonment
for inciting strikers to pillage. A shop
keeper named Jacobs, who hid refused to
close up his place yesterday when tlie aon-
try had summoned him to do so, was shot
and instantly killed by the sentry while
looking ont of his window. His death lias
caused much excitement anil the uutlion
tieo fear that his funeral will be made the
occasion for a riot.
Political Enemies of the Mayor of Houston,
Texas, Try to Murder Him.
Houston, Texas, March 24.—An attempt
waa made to assassinate Mayor William R.
Baker, laat night, under peculiar circum
stances. Mayor Baker is running as an
independent citizen's candidate for re-elec
tion against D. G. Smith, the democratic
nominee, who is being supported by the
labor organizations. Tho canvass has been
signalized by numerous acrimonious dis
cussions. Last evening Mnyor Baker, with
other gentlemen, attended a colored Baker
campaign meeting near Howurd|aiills in the
Fourth Ward. At about 8.30 o'clock,
accompanied by Jndgo Braahear, Edward
Jemison, and several colored men, the
Mayor started to walk some distance to
point on tlie outskirts of the town
where another meeting was being held.
After crossing Babino Htreet bridge, a high,
lonely structure, tho party emerged on the
south ride, when a horseman riding a gray
horse rapidly approached them ami oskeil,
"Is Mayor Baker in Hint crowd’I” "Yea;
what do you waut with me?" asked the
mayor, as he left the party and walked to
ward the horseman in tho middle of the
road. “I have some private business with
yon," said the rider, and he asked Baker to
walk down tho road a short distance with
him. As they stnrtwl away the man said.
"Will you withdraw in favor of Smith?"
“Yon must be joking," replied the mayor.
Several rods from the starting point the as-
sat sin pulled up his horse and Baker placed
his left hand on the mane of the horse, as
if to listen to a private communication from
the stranger, when suddenly the mayor waa
•reatly startled by tbo flash of a pis'ol in
lis face, which blinded him for a moment.
Three shots were fired In quick success'on.
Baker dwlged to tho ground nod the would-
be assassin, who evidently thought he hnd
killed the mnyor, rode hastily away. He
was followed by Judge Braahear and Jami
son, who openod fire on him.
An investigation has developed the fact
that the horseman had wntebed the Mayor's
lorty leave the first place of meeting and
iod followed them by a circuitous route.
Mayor Baker ia uninjured. He is sixty
; rears old and one of the wealthiest men in
Farris county. He is not a politician, nnd
has never drawn his salary while filling the
office of Mayor. He is unmarried, and ac
cepts the position nit a means of occupying
his time. For months prior to ita disastrous
failure ho was president of the City Bank,
which fact his political enemies are using
against him.
A REMARKABLE DUEL.
Two Women Fight With 8worda On the

London, March 25.—A remarkable duel

Additional Official Statement Concerning
the Kitting of v wtord.
Tucson, March 24. —Lieutenant Maos has
made a supplemental report in reference to
the runnier of Captain Crawford by Mexican
troops and it has been sent to Washington.
It contains his own report and statements
by Lientenant Shipn, Mr. Horn nnd tha
hospital steward, all white men, who were
present at the time. The attack occurred
at daylight. Captain Crawford wore his
nndreBa uniform and Lieutenant Mans a
long United States overcoat. Lieutenant
Mares says he was within ten yards of the
Mexicans while talking.
Hom says that while the Mexicans were
talking they were sending men qui
etly around to occupy the hills where
scouts had fortunately gathered. While
talking to Horn one of tho Mexicans sud
denly raised his gun und shot him in the
arm. ,
Tlie hospital steward said while he hnd

Secretary Manning's Condition.
Washington, March 24.—Dr. Hamilton,
of tbe Marine Hospital Service, who was
the first physician to seo Secretary Man
ning j estcolay after liis illness, made a
statement to AKsistant Secretary Fairchild
this evening in regntd to the condition of
Secretary Manning, from which it appears
tbnt he bns symptoms of apoplexy and is
not regarded out of danger. Dr. Hamilton
says he will bo confined to his bed forsoino
time. According to Fairchild's information,
Secretary Manning was first taken ill in his
office, and in falling to the ttootr from ex
haustion wrenched his ankle. Subsequently
he grew worse and there w ere symptoms of
apoplexy, which alarmed his friends and
resulted in the summoning of a physician.
Tlie uttack of vertigo, said F'airchtld, was
subsequent to tbe fall.
At 11 o’clock to-night physicians in at
tendance upon Secretory Manning stated
that his condition wss substantially un
changed, although ho moved bimaelf in
his msi with rather more ease than he did
this morning, sod appears more comfortable.
His face continues nusliod, however, and
his breathing labored. Dr. Lincoln, in re
sponse to the question, said: "It will lie
several days jet before ull danger is past
and several weeks lict, ire be rian safely re
sume work." Although his physicians speak
thus hopefully, tbtir troubled looks and the
great anxiety ‘ exhibited by bis family and
friends indicate that bis condition is at
least critical. A recurrence of ibe attack
of yesterday is greatly feared, and
the extreme gravity of tbe
case can hardly be over-estimated.
It is impossible to ascertain from pro
fessional sources tbe Secretary's true con
dition, inasmuch ns bin physicians, ont of
respect to the wishes of bin family, decline
to give a detailed statement of tbe ease.
Tbs Cycloae Season Inaugurated.
Finplat, Ohio, March 24.— A tornado

The Governor of Texas Issues a similar
Proclamation.
Austin, Texas, March 25.—Governor Ire
land to-day issued the following proclama
tion:
"Whereas it has been made known to me
that disturbances, irregularities and viola
tions of law are of frequent occurrence on
tlie various lines of railroads in this Btate;
that trains conveying freight and passengers
are interfered with by persona having no
connection with said roods; that bridges
have been burned, spikes have been with
drawn and trains derailed, to tho great det
riment of commerce and travel, and the
ilacing of life in great peril. It is said that
bis condition of affairs on the railroads
has been brought about by au organization
known as the Knights of Labor, and that
the jieraons engaged in theae lawless deeds
nre members of that order. Whether this
is true or hot, it is hardly creditable that
this order‘or the best elements in it can
countenance the violations of law men
tioned. Tbe employes have an unques
tionable morel and legal right to qnlt the
aerviee of their employers whenever their
employment is not remunerative and satis
factory, provided snch action does not
violate their contract: bnt when they quit
and aever their relatione It ia the
duty of those quitting to get out of
Uie way and leave any others who may wish
to take service free to do so. Intimidation
or interference with persons desiring to
work is a grosa violation of tha rights of
freemen, nml cannot be tolerated in a free
government. Now, therefore, L John Ire
land, Governor of Texas, do hereby issue
this my proclamation, warning all persons,
whoever they may be, engaged iu any of
•aid unlawful acts, that they are entailing
on themselvea disaster and ruin, and that
offended and outraged justice may

Sioai.ia, Mo,, March 25.—The men who
wero arrested yesterday charged with

Law and Order Leogne laat night issued an
address which demands that the strikim
obey the law and permit the railroads to

quences of their violation of the law ltko
other criminals. The spirit of tho people
is thoroughly aroused, and they openly en
dorse Hoxio's course. The Kniqhts of La
bor here are divided, and it is expected
that something will take place to-day to
see which leader they will follow—Powder-
ly or Irens. Inasmuch M Irons say* it is
right, stirring events may shortly be »v-
pccted.

Mountain and Bon them railroad throughout
Arkansas, lie says the people have waited

to protect property and see that the com
merce of the Btate is not interrupted by
violence or lawless acts, and to appr, lo-ncl
any surb offendem. The support of citizens

clamation the Governor says the peoplo are
now in the third week of the gr.ateet busi
ness disaster which has ever befallen the

ore involved. BuppUso of food and fuel are
cut off in many localities and the business
and industries of great masses of tbo peo
ple are suspended. The strikers, he says,
may have grievaaeeo, but this does not jus
tify a forcible stoppage of transportation.

A Parisian millionaire, M. Lang, Iibb re

which is certainly ono of tlie most luxuri
ous pieces of furniture wo havo yet hoard
of. If it conld ouly bccomo universal
whnt a boon it would bo to early risorg.
The description makes one envy the fortu
nate possessor. Thu bed itself is a model
of comfort, and tho following devices havo
lieen adopted to render rising from it ns lit-

to get up a chime of bolls rings. The oo- ‘

candle is lit by a clevtr mechanical a, /

his nightcap. By means of electricity u
spirit lamp with ooffee roasting apparatus
affixed next begins to knrn. Tne water
soon boils and the smell of coffee fills tbo
room with a delicious fragrance. Luxml-
onaly reveling in n crowd ot agreeable sen

from it costly musical box. At length tho
bells ring ont another merry peal and a$
tho foot of tbe l>ed a curd with “Lovi a-

If this invitetiou is without effect, a power

Christian Million, London.
Bide by side with the Monishing develop
ment of prurient lilt return there has grown
up in Sunday achool* and tempo ranee soda
tics with a cloae membership an equally
astonishing development of kissing games.
The old-fashioned ont-door-kiss-in-the-ring
of school-treats and the equally harmless
forfeits played (and paid) beneath tbe mis
tletoe hare given phuwto a set of Use ins
game* tn which teachers and senior schol
ar* indulge for hours together, and which
form the great attraction of many gather
ings. • • * It waa onr painful duty to visit
a London Babbath school entertainment
where theae things were Is ing carried on
from six in the evening nntil midnight Wo
protested verbaUy, and alao leaving an en
tertainment where we felt the presence ot
God waa not being recognized. It began
with a can-can in which, to an idiotic song
and tone, first tbe upper th. n the lower
membere of the body were raised and swung
about. After this an hour was spent in
"kissing." Theneame thegreattroat. .iL d
"the army.” Marching around in paint,
these Sunday school teachers want through
a drill in which ‘*prescnt arms” and "fire n

male "teachera" knelt down before tl.uir
partners to embrace them, and that six
“volleys” were ordered at once, or that kiss

the reason of onr departure and strung in
