General Manager Aertsen, of the La
trede Steel and CouplerV.'orks, at Mel
rose Park, III., gave out a statement
Thursday evening declaring that the
company has abandoned tne effort to
bring the colored laborers to Melrose
Park and that they vvul be sent back
to their homes in Alabama.
All day the 300 colored men sat in
their cars at LaGrange, twenty light
miles from Chicago, in fear. A com¬
mittee of five citizens of Melrose Park
called on them during the morning and
used their best endeavors to induce
the men to return to Alabama. The
committee informed the colored men
of the actual state of afiairs at Melrose
Park, where 300 armed men were
awaiting the arrival of their train, de¬
termined that the colored men should
not be allowed to alight in the village.
Their statements alarmed the eol
.•ored men more than ever and finally
five of them stepped off the train and
made their way into Chicago, where
they sought an interview with the
authorities for protection, which they
could not give them, as the trouble
was not within the city limits. After
the five men had left the train, the
fears of those left on the train in¬
creased greatly, and it was with great
difficulty that the train management
kept them from running off in a panic.
Nearly ail of the colored men declared
that they would not go to Melrose Park
and that if taken there on the train
they would refuse to get off. At 2
o'clock Marshal Rau, of the town of
LaGrange, ordered the train bearing
the colored men to move out of the
village. It did so and was placed on
a sidinfg at Sait Creek, two miles
north of LaGrange.
JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 2. 1001.
In the meantime attorneys for the
steel company called upon Sheriff Ma
gerstadt and asked that the company
be given ample protection against tha
mob violence which was threatened
They stated positively that the labor¬
er. 1 ; would be landed in the shops of
the company whether the sheriff fur
nished any aid or not.
“I have just received a telegram
from Adjutant General Reece, offering
me the aid of the state militia if I
need it," said Sheriff Magerstadt, after
his conference with the attorneys, “but
I will not need it. I have sent a half
dozen men to Melrose Park simply to
make a report to me on the conditions
there. If they say that a mob of 300
armed men are patrolling the streets.
as the officials of the company inform
me, I will swear in a number of depu
ties and will preserve the peace at
all hazards. However, I am not going
to cali upon the militia, as the county
<s capable of preserving the peace
whatever happens."
Out at Melrose Pari the armed cit¬
izens remained on watch until assured
the negroes were not coming, when
they dispersed.
MRS. DAVIS IMPROVED.
