20,000 MINERS
BATTLING AGAINST CAPITAL IN
THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT.
The Coal Operators Are Anxious to
Compromise.
A strike among the miners of the
Pittsburg, Pa., district is on. As a re¬
sult of the action taken at a conven¬
tion, secret orders to suspend and re¬
main out for the 69 cent rate were sent
wherever the constituency The could be
reached by wire. action was un¬
expected and bears out the threat of
the district officials that the operators
would not have twenty-four hours’ no¬
tice in which to prepare for the sus¬
pension. Ten thousand men are af¬
fected. When the convention adjourn¬
ed every delegate having telegraphic
communication with his constituency
wired home that the strike was on. It
is stated that not another ounce of
coal will be mined in the communities
notified until the 69 cents is restored.
The plan was laid in convention to no¬
tify or confer with the association of
operators. The demand for au im¬
mediate strike was so strong that it
was ordered, and all other matters
pertaining to it were lost sight of.
LATER ADVICES. .
A special under date of March 7th
from Pittsburg says: The strike of
the miners of the Pittsburg district is
on in full force, and it is expected to
see a general suspension of work.
There are three companies whose
mines it is thought will stay at work
and the men employed in these mines
aggregate less than one thousand.
At the Monongahela mines, near
Monongahela City, Wednesday night,
the men held a meeting, and after
completing the loading of a barge at
the request of the superintendent, quit
work.
All the miners of the fourth pool are
expected to come out. There is a good
boating stage, and the operators are
desirous of continuing work. Some
of them have proposed compromises,
but i.n each case the scales have been
rejected with the demand for the fates
decided upon by the convention.
WORK GENERALLY SUSPENDED.
Latest reports received at the
miners’ headquarters in Pittsburg show
a general suspension of work through¬
out the district. From the report of
the commissioner of labor, showing
the number of miners employed in the
district, it is estimated that the num¬
ber who are on strike is over 21,000,
and that the number employed at
mines where there will be no strike is
about 1,300.
The men are determined to win,
although each one will have to rely on
his own resources for support during
the suspension, as the organization has
not the funds to pay the strike bene>
fits.

Worth was born in Bourne, Lincoln¬

parents desiring that he learn that
trade, but he evinced a strong hostility
to handling type and abandoned the
printing office after he had served
seven months.
He then went to London and through
the assistance of a friend secured a po¬
sition in a draper’s (dry goods) shop,
which position he left to enter the em¬
ployment of Swan & Edgar, drapers,
wheiro ho became a favorite.
He ijrst conceived the idea of de¬

SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA„ FRIDAY, MAR(TI 15, 1895.
HAYWARD SENTENCED TO HANG
The Murderer of Catherine Glug has
Three Months More to Live.
Harry T. Hayward, convicted of the
murder of Catherine Ging, has three
months to live. Sentence was passed
on him by Judge Seagravo Smith at
Minneapolis, Monday after a motion
for an arrest of sentence by Mr. Erwin
had been denied.
Judge Smith agreed to examine the
grounds urged for a new trial on
March 28th and then passed sentence.
Ho said he had no doubt whatever that
the verdict was a just aud righteous
one, and while he did not believe in
capital punishment, it was his painful
duty to pass sentence in accordance
with the law. “The sentence of this
court,” ho continued, “is that you be
taken to the Hennepin county jail and
there confined until, after a period of
three months, a time be fixed by the
governor of this state, you be taken
to the place of execution and hanged
by the neck until you are dead, dead,
dead.” Harry listened calmly and sat
down without the slightest show of
feeling.

THE SEABOARD’S MOVE.
President Hoffman Says a Determined
Fight Will be Made.
President Hoffman, of the Seaboard
Air-Line, in talking about the boycott
which the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association had instituted
against the Seaboard, and ‘the cat in
passenger rates which his line has
made in retaliation, says:
“We have made our move, and we
are now waiting for the other fellows
to do something. Ovtr cut has not
been met as yet; at least there has
been no public announcement. We
are prepared to make a determined
fight for what we know to be our
rights. Some of our competitors say
that the action of the Southern Rail¬
way and Steamship association was
not a boycott. If the fight that asso¬
ciation is making against ns is not
what is generally termed a boycott, I
would like to know what it is. At all
events, 'we consider it a boycott and
will resist it with all the power at our
command.”

STRANGE MALADY IN KENTUCKY
Over Fifty Fatal Cases of a Disease
Resembling Cholera.
A special from Ashland, Ky., says:
The latest reports from Floyd county,
brought by local traveling salesmen
just returned, are not at all encourag¬
ing for the early suppression of the
strange malady that is raging in the
Mud river country. It has become so
violent that even the physicians of the
surrounding towns refuse to visit the
victims. In all the death roll has ex¬
ceeded fifty already and the disease is
on the increase. The disease, instead
of being smallpox, resembles cholera,
except that it chokes the victim to
death, beginning in the stomach and
rising to tho throat. In almost every
case it has bepn fatal, the victims sel¬
dom living three days after the attack.

RIOTS IN NEW ORLEANS.
A MOB OF WHITES FIRE UPON
NEGRO LABORERS.
Font EH and Eiilt Wounded.
THE POLICE WERE POWERLESS
TO QUELL THE CONFLICT.
A British Subject Fired Upon and
Wounded—Troops Called Out.
There were two separate and dis¬
tinct riots at New Orleans Tuesday,
both probably resulting from the same
plan. One occurred on the river front
near the French market, where the
ship Engineer was loading for Liver-
pooh The other occurred about four
miles distant in the direction of Car¬
rollton, at the foot of Philip street.
Only one man, William Campbell, col¬
ored, was killeu in this affair.
The names of the dead are: William
Campbell, Jules Carrabee and two un-
known negroes, who have not been
identified—four in all.
The wounded are: James A. Bane,
purser of the steamship Engineer,
dangerously wounded^; Henry Brown,
colored, will recover; Leonard Mal¬
lard, colored, has since died; Tim
Persten, colored, may recover; Louis
Cast, colored, will recover; Billy
Williams, colored, will recover; Frank
Liglitkall, colored, slightly wounded;
Robert Brooks, white, shot in the leg,
not dangerous. other
Doubtless a number of ne¬
groes were slightly wounded, but ran
away and cannot be identified.
The first scene of the conflict was
on the river front between Stann ami
Dumaine streets, Three men were
killed almost outright, while a num¬
ber were wounded.
The killing was done by a mob of
white men numbering about 200, who
w’ere armed with pistols and Winches¬
ter rifles. The negroes*vere about to
start to work on board the steamship
Engineer lying at that point, when
white men approached from all direc¬
tions. All were armed and many took
positions behind box cars and poured
volley upqn volley into the negroes. that
Those who were on the scene say
it reminded them of a battlefield so
fast and furious was the
The negroes were given like no quarter
aud were shot down dogs. Not
only were the daykies shot down, but
severel innocent persons suffered.
Among those 'killed was Jules Clice
Carabee, a shoemaker, who happened
to be in the vioinity. James Bane, the
purser pf the Engineer, was standing
on the levee, near his ship, when the
attack was made, and he received four
wounds, three in the head and another
in the arm. He was fired upon by
several men who aimed over the heads
of three policemen who were kneeling
behind Borne freight just on the edge
of the wharf. His wounds may prove
fatal.
As near as can her stated, the shoot¬
ing occurred a few minutes after 7
o’clock. There was a dense fog pre¬
vailing and this afforded the white
men an excellent chance to do their
bloody work, At the time there were
only six policemen on the scene, and
there ^ere no arrests effected, as the
police were as badly frightened as the
negroes. The attackers were composed
of two parties. A large number of
men appeared at the corner of Du¬
maine street, anfl equally as large a
mob qgme from the corner at St. Ann
street.
Resulted from Labor Troubles.
The levee riots resulted from an old
quarrel over the loading of cotton ves¬
sels. The business has in the past
been monopolized by the white bales crew,
who screw or load the cotton in¬
to the holds of vessels. Thoy consti¬
tute one of the stro'ngest labor unions
in the cojmtry. They have an $160,000 annual
income of $50,000, and have
in bank. They have dictated terms on
the levee, commanding wages of $5 or
$6 a day for their men, although the
work is by no means arduous.
At the beginning of the present
season, the white laborers, considering
that there was not enough business for
them and the negroes, concluded to
drive the latter from their work. The
ship agents, under orders from the
ship owners abroad, who are mainly
English, stuok to the negroes, and the
result has been a running warfare for
the past three months, in which a
number of levees were sacrificed and
some property destroyed. The war
tegan with incendiary fires, which de¬
stroyed the wharves of the West In¬
dian Steamship Company, with $250,-
000 loss; the wharves of the Texas and
Pacific, with 25,000 bales of cotton;
loss $500,000.
These measures boing ineffective,
variona riots followed directed against
the negroes, mobs of white men raid¬
ing the vessels in port and put¬
ting out the negroes working at them.
Seeing defeat still threatening them,
riots were decided on in order to
bring the matter to a crisis, which has
very thoroughly ^’en done.
To Punish the Rioters.
As soon as the details of the trouble
were received, steps were taken to re¬
assert the authority of the law and
punish the riotert. The cotton ex¬
change, the board of trade, produce
exchange, maritime association, sugar
and rice exchange, fruit exchange,
young men’s business league, mechan¬
ics,dealers and lumbermen’s exchange,
the clearing house, the bureau of
freight and transportation and the
wholesale grocers’ association at once
held called meetings and appointed
delegates to a conference to consider
the situation and deoido upon what no¬
tion should be taken, the universal
sentiment being that great vigor was
needed. Governor Poster was at once
telegraphed, and he left Baton Bouge
on the earliest train. He reached New
Orleans at 6 p. m., and. agreed to meet
a delegation from the joint conference
committee of the exchanges.
British Consul Takes It Up.
In the meanwhile, hi anticipation of
more trouble, the militia was ordered
to be in readiness to be called out at a
moment’s notice. The firing on the
British steamer Engineer and Niagara
and the fatal shooting of the purser of
the former vessel, waB brought to the
attention of the British consul, and
he, as well as the British ship agents
in New Orleans telegraphed to the
British ambassador, notifying him of
the outrage and calling on him for
protection to the lives and property
of British subjects in the city. Tho
riot was also called to the attention of
the grand jury by Judge Moise, of the
criminal district court, and it began an
investigation, particularly in regard to
the failure of the authorities and the po¬
lice to preserve order, suppress the
riot and arrest the rioters. Mayor
Fitzpatrick, Chief of Police Journee
and others were summoned before the
grand jury and testified. The general
disposition is to lay the blame for the
loss of life on the mayor, who was
warned of the probability of trouble,
but refused to take action. Nor is
the governor held, blameless, as the
present troubles have existed for four
months, and no attempt has been made
in all that time to suppress them.
The Governor in Conference.
The conference between the gover¬
nor and representatives of commercial
bodies lasted till midnight. The gov¬
ernor stated to a reporter that the
whole situation had been carefully
considered. He will remain in the
city as long as necessary, personally in
charge of affairs. He said the only
definite plan he would pursue would be
the maintenance of law and order, and
that it must and shall be maintained at
all hazards. Vigorous and effective
measures will be put into operation for
this pnrsose. He is assured of the
hearty co-operation of all good citi¬
zens. In the meantime he issued a
proclamation calling the militia out to
preserve order.
Appealed to Sir Julian.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador at Washington, has received
a telegram from the British consul at
New Orleans, informing him of the
shooting, during the riot, of Purser
Bain, of the British steamer, Engin¬
eer. The consul added in his telegram
that the city was in a terrible state of
excitement and the men of the Engin-
eer were fearful that they might be
attacked. He, therefore, earnestly re¬
quested that some action be taken to
insure their safety. Speaking of the
matter, Sir Julian said:
“You know, tllo city of New Orleans
is very much perturbed just now, bu-
the governor of the state, I am ast
sured, is able to quell the disturbance.
As soon as I received the telegram
from Consul St. John, I turned the
matter over to the secretary of state,
and he informed me that he would
communicate with the governor of
Louisiana, and that the matter may be
investigated.”
London News on the Riot.
The London Daily News, comment¬
ing on the race riot in New Orleans,
says: being lynch¬
“The negroes are now
ed in bulk in New Orleans. If it were
not for the looks of things, they might
as well return to their ancestral seats
in Dahomey. New Orleans is a more
respectable address than Dahomey,
but the citizens of the two localities
are much the same.”
EIGHT THOUGHT TO BE DEAD.
Fire In a Mine in New Mexico Causes

mine, at White Oaks, Lincoln county,
New Mexico,caught fire Sunday morn¬

the mine, which was completely de¬
stroyed. Nine men were in the mine
at the time, only one of whom, G. E.

supposed to be dead, as there is but
slight possibility that they escaped
suffocation.

THE INCOME LEVY.
OLNKY PLEADS ITS CONSTITU¬
TIONALITY.
The Matter Being Argued Before the
U. S. Supreme Court.
The proceedings in the income tax
cases in the supreme court at Wash¬
ington Tuesday opened with argu¬
ment by Attorney General Olney on
behalf of the government for the va¬
lidity of the tax,
The court room inside the bar was
crowded when the court -came in at
noon, and there was no time when the
limited capacity of the room was suffi¬
cient to accommodate the audience.
Mr. Olney began by saying that the
chief interest of the government in the
present litigation was limited to the
constitutional questions which the
several plaintiffs allege to be involved.
Whether they were really involved lie
would not attempt to determine.
An examination of the plaintiffs’
bills and briefs and arguments seemed
to him to show that many of the al¬
leged objections to the validity of the
income tax are simply perfunctory in
character.
“They are taken pro forma,” he
said, “by way of precaution, because
of the possibility of a point develop¬
ing in some unexpected connection—
and just as good equity pleader, be
his knowledge of his case of tho perti¬
nent remedies ever so thorough, never
fails to wind up with the general
prayer for other and further relief.
“No time need be spent in discuss¬
ing the averments that the income tax
law iB an invasion of vested rights or
takes property without due process of
law. These propositions are pure
generalities, and if there is anything
in them, it is because they compre¬
hend others which are the only real
subjects of probable discussion.
“Again, suppose it is to be true that
the income tax law undertakes to as¬
certain the incomes of citizens by
methods which are not only disagree¬
able, but are infringements of person¬
al rights. The consequence is not that
the law is void, but that the hotly de¬
nounced inquisitorial methods cannot
be resorted to.
“The like considerations apply to
the question that the law is to apply
to the taxing of the agencies and in¬
strumentalities of these several states.
It is not yet definitely adjudicated
and is by no means to be admitted
that the income of the state and mu¬
nicipal securities is not taxable by the
United States when assessed as part of
the total income of the owners under
a law assessing inoomes generally and
not discriminating against such securi¬
ties, and others of the like character.
“But suppose the contrary, the re¬
sult is not that the law is bad in toto,
but that it is bad only as to the in¬
come of state and municipal securities.
“If I am right in these observa¬
tions,” he continued, “the constitu¬
tional contention of the plaintiffs sim¬
mers down to two points. One is that
an income tax is a direct tax and must
be imposed according to the rule of
apportionment and the other is based
upon the alleged violation of the con¬
stitution with regard to uniformity. ”
He declared that whether an income
tax is what the constitution describes
as a “direct” tax, is a question as com¬
pletely concluded by repeated adjuca-
tions as any question can be. It is
not a direct tax within the meaning of
the constitution unless five concurring
judgments of this court have all been
erroneous.”
Speaking on another point raised by
appellants, he said no land tax is aim¬
ed at or attempted by the statute—
there is no lien on land for payment—
and the whole scope and tenor of the
statute shows the contemplated sub¬
ject of taxation to be nothing else.
Mr. Olney devoted considerable time
to the meaning of the word “uniform”
as applied to the collection of imposts,
excises, etc., declaring that the word
had a territorial application and no
other.
The power to tax, he said, is for
practical use and is necessarily to be
adapted to the practioal conditions of
human life. These are never the same
for any two persons, and as applied to
any community, however small, are in¬
finitely diversified. Regard being
paid to them, nothing is more evident,
nothing has oftener declared by courts
and jurists than that absolute equality
of taxation is impossible, as is charac¬
terized in an opinion of this court, on¬
ly a “baseless dream.”
A STEAMER CHARTERED
To Convey Negroes to Africa—-Other
Vessels to Follow.
A Philadelphia special says: D. J.
Flummer, president of the Interna¬
tional Migration Company, of Bir¬
mingham, Ala., has chartered the
Danish fruit steamer Horsa to convey
to Liberia the negroes of the southern
states, who are to be taken as colonists
to that oountry. The Horsa will leave
at once for Savannah, and is expected
to sail from Savannah on the 12th
the month with 200 negro colonists
for Monrovia, Liberia. Other
will follow the Horsa.

VOL VI. NO. :i
OUR FLAG KITED UPON.
An American Mall Steamer Chased by
a Spanish Man-Of-War.
The American mail steamship Alli-
ancia, while proceeding from Colon to
New York on the morning of the 8th
instant, sighted a barkentino rigged
steamer under tho laud off Cape May-
sie, the eastern edge of Cuba, which
headed directly toward her.
At 7 o’olock, whon about two and a
half miles distant, the straugor hoist¬
ed the Spanish flag, which was saluted
by hoisting the American ensign and
dipping it, which act of courtesy was
answered by the Spaniard. At 7:15
she fired a blank cartridge to leeward,
which was soon followed by another.
The American ensign was again hoist¬
ed and dipped, but the course and
speed of the ship was not changed, as
no hostile demonstration was antici¬
pated, as the Alliaueia was more than
six miles off the laud at the time.
The Spanish man of war was not sat¬
isfied with even the double salute to
her flag, but proceeded to chase the
American at her full speed, judging
from the smoke that came from her
funnels, and seeing that the Alliancia
was drawing away from her, she hove
to, to bring the guns to bear and fired
a solid shot which struck the water
less than an eighth of a mile away
from the ship and directly in line.
This was followed by two more solid
shots which fortunately did not reach
their mark, though they struck the
water in plain sight of the ship, the
Spaniard plainly showing the intention
to hit her if she could.
Captain Cross, of the Alliancia,
knowing he was more than two leagues
from land and on the high seas, did
not consider it his duty to detain his
ship to find out the reason for such an
outrage, even for so summary a de¬
mand and so ordered full steam and
gradually drew out of range.
The chase was kept up for more
than twehty-five miles before it was
abandoned. If the Spaniard had had
more speed or her gunners been better
marksmen, no doubt the incident
would not have ended so fortunately
for the American.
This outrage has been reported to
the secretary of state by Captfiin
Crossman and no doubt a prompt de¬
mand will be made on the Spanish
government for an explanation of the
insult, and a reason required for tho
attempt made to stop an American.
mail steamer on the high seas in time
of peace.
Captain Crossman has written a let¬
ter to the secretary of state at Wash¬
ington, giving a full statement of the
Spanish warship’s conduct.
VICTORY FOR SLUGGERS.
A Judge Decides That Prize Fight¬
ing is a Legitimate Business.
At New Orleans Tuesday morning
Judge Righter handed down tho fol¬
lowing decision in the case of the state
vs. Olympic Club:
“I am called upon to interpret and
enforce act No. 25, of the statutes of
1890. The title of the act reads: ‘An
act defining the crime of prize fight¬
ing and to provide for tho punishment
thereof in and out of the state of
Louisiana.’ The act embraces two!
sections and a proviso, neither of the
sections defining the crime of prize
fighting, nor does the proviso tell us
what a glove contest is. The former
(not defined) is forbidden and punish¬
ed; the latter, under certain condi¬
tions, permitted and by implication
encouraged.
“Having, under instructions from
the supreme court, excluded all expert
testimony as to the distinction between
these differently designated methods
of pugilism, and referring only to the
facts proved in the one case and in
the other I find that a prize fight is a
glove contest without gloves, and that
glove contest is a prize fight with
gloves. In each case, there is a duel
with fists, and there is a prize. In
each ease, there is the same danger
to limb and life, the same maiming and
shedding of blood, the same brutality.
“I conclude, therefore, that the act
entitled, ‘An act defining the crime of
prize fighting and to provide for the
punishment thereof, in and out of the
state of Louisiana,’ is a piece of legis¬
lative fraud and mendacity. It neith¬
er defines the crime of prize fighting,
nor does it provide any penalty for
the same, which cannot be evaded by
the mockery of covering with the
gloves the hand of the gladiators.
That a glove contest is brutal and dan¬
gerous as a prize fight was clearly set¬
tled in the case of Lavigne vs. Andy
Bowen.
“On the whole, I find that a prize
fight in Louisiana is a glove contest,
and that a glove contest is a prize
fight. It logically follows, that, there
being no prohibition of glove contests
in this state, the same being legalized
and encouraged under certain condi¬
tions, which the prize fighter willingly
accepts, prize fighting is now, what it
never was before the enactment of
statute No. 25, of 1890, a legitimate
business and domestic industry, under
the speoial protection the of the law,
while, before passage of that stat¬
ute, it would constitute the crime of
assault and battery, and in some oases
of manslaughter.
