'The Farmers AdvIsed to Hold Their Cot ton for Better iprices unti to uavo it IVghed When Sold by Alliano Weigh cra. ,S. C., Oet. Greenville County Farmers' Alliance met in special session today for the purpose of taking some action on the vexed question (with them) of the buy ing and selling of cotton. They pass ed the following resolutions, which is in tended to have a far-reaching effect and to unite thu Alliance of the South in an effort to raise the price of cotton: Whereas, cotton is our cash product and producers are forced to take for it' prices below the cost of production. Not only the farmers but the merchants who furnished them supplies on time, must sustain loss. The profits on cot ton are divided between speculators and manufacturers. We the Greenville Farmers' Alliance do advise our farmers to refuse to sell their cotton at the present prices, and to at once warehouse so much cotton as Will satisfy their creditors, and bor row from banks or individuals on ware house receipts, and hold their cotton for better prices. That the action of our meeting be published throughout the Cotton States, and we ask the farmers to at once, through state and county Alliances, act in accordance therewith. That all sub-Alliances are hereby re quested to call meetings at once to act on these resolutions. The Alliance of this county proposes to accomplish the purpose of the reso lution by concentrating the cotton brought to this market in the Alliance warehouse for the purpose of having it graded into lots, "so that each grade can be sold at its true market value." The warehouse will store cotton ltteen days free of charge to buyer and seller alike, enabling the seller to hold his cotton for better prices and the buyer to get large lots for shipimgnt. After the lifteen days frev storage is out, the cost of storage and insurance will not exceed twenty-five cents for the lrst n1oo1th and twenty cents for sub seqjent months. A committeeman of the Alliance says: "It is now generally conceded that the present crop is far short of that of last year, and of a much liner quality: yet the prices are below the cost of prodhuc tion. It therefore must be apparent to all that there is everything to gain and nothing to lose by holding. Some of the Greenville banks have agreed to ad vance liberally on warehouse receips." A resolution was also passed asking every true Allianceman not to sell his cotton until he takes it to the ware house. The Alliance proposes to have a grader of cotton, or grade it them selves by "types" from New York. The cotton buyers here are defied, and if the plan of the Alliance is carried out they must buy Alliance cotton at the warehouse and have it weighed by AlIl ance weighers. lend of a luanall. MIN('1:, Ind., Oct. 18.-Word has reached this city from a source that can be regarded as being perfectly reliable, of the dilscovery of a semi-hiumani moni strosity that lays all other treaks of na ture in the shade. Yesterday, wvhile .J. 'r. lilackburn' a Washingtoni J'ownship farmer, was going t!uroughi a cornfield, in which weire nunmerous stumps, he discovered lying on one tha~t was about four feet in diameter a female (log that had gived birth to a litter of pups, one of wnich possessed the head of a human being, although its face bore a striking resemblance to that of the worst kind of an idiot. Its body was shaped liKe a boa constrictor, and, being of an unusual length, it would wind around in all con ceivable forms but without in.iury to any of its brothers and sisters. The forelegs are miuch longer than the hind ones, which gives it a giraffe appear ance when standing on its feet. Its skin issoft and pliable, and is possessed ot no hair, with the exception of a very small "casis" on the top of the head, Instead of whining, like all pups, it gives out a hideous scream that imi tates an eagle wvhen lighting for its, young. While the freak snaps like a dog and Is possessed of a full set of teeth, Its instinct causes it not to mo lest or disturb its relatives, other than the annoyance that is brought about by natural causes. On its feet are clawvs that extendl several inches in length. This monstrosity wvill, in all probability, be exhibited, and it is ex pected that the owner will reap a rich harvest from the exhibition. Amenrican aund Chziliana allora IIght. SANT'IAGO, Oct. 17.--The anti-Ameri can feeling which Is very pronounced reached a climax last evening~ in the streets of Val paraiso. A number of sailors of the Ufilted States steamer, liatimnoro, now in port, were wvalking along the street when they were con fronted by some sailors of a Chilian man-of-war. Sone wordls passed, wh'len a fierce light followed. T[hero was evi (dently bad blood on both sidhes, andh it only needed a pretext to bring on a con.. Iict. JBoth parties were armed with knIves and p)istols, which were freely used. When the combatants were sep arated by the police and bystanders, it was found that one of the Jialtimore sailors had been killed ant live others 5eriouisly woundled. Several of thue Chil mans were also badly hurt. This wvas the first time the JBaltinmore's sailors had been ashore for a month. Th'le In tentmant of the city hadl assured Cap tain Schley of the Jialtimnore that his sailors would be perfectly safe on Chiii Ian soil. Tlhie feeling today between A meticans andl Chilians is very strong. Seve'ral add(itional lights occurred today among sailors, but they were niot so se rious as that of yesterday. TJhe dead sailor of the lBaltimore wvill be buried tomorrow. An armned force wvill be landed from the military guard of lion or for the occasioni. Trouble is feared, as it will he Sunday and election day.

'TAUNTON, Va., Oct. 17.-A special from Clifton Forge, Va., today to the Daily News says: This morning agang of six armed drunken negroes came into town, and boasted loudly that they had come to take the place. This created terrible confision on the streets, as all the negroes had pistols and other weapons, which they exhibited freely. They walked about -the streets, insult in ladies and committing other out rages, and creating a terrible riot. A number of citizens decided to arrest them, but the negroes violentiy reslsted arrest and broke away from their would be captors, who gave chase. When the negroes had nearly reached Irongate they turned and comnenced iring upon their pursuers, and a battle between the posse and the rioters ensued. Philhp Bolling, a brakeman of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, was kilIed outright at the first lire, and Frederick Wilkin son was injured seriously. The ofilcers, after some difliculty, captured five of the gang, including the leaders, but one is still at large. Two large mobs, numbering in all about 500, formed in the town and met at Sweetwood's store at about 10 o'clock tonight. They fired salutes, and then the two combined and marcheld to the jail where the prisoners, taken in the afternoon, had been conlined. They attempted, after firing into the jail for some time, to break open the door with a ram, but it was too strong and resist ed their efforts. They th'en procied axes and sledge hammers and broke in. Tliev took out three prisoners, and tak ing them to a gully about half a mile fro1 the jail, strung two of theml up to a tree and tilled them full of bullets. The third prisoner. who was a boy six teen years old, they brought back to the jail to lock hini up again, but finally let him go, and lie escaped. The fourth prisoner, who, had been crippled with a bullet in the afternoon, was still in the jail, the door or which i.,l been repair ed. Breaking in again, tey took him cut, and putting him in a cart, they hauled him to the same place and hun's him to the tree that the loriner two had been hung 11o. Another member of the uang had been shot down in the afternoon near Irongate and left lying by the side of the railroad track in a d.ying condition. Sho Openoed Fire.
