B?OE RIOT IN OHiO.
White Man Stabbed and Negroes
in Danger of Lynching.
Iro?ton, 0.. July 5.-At Fleetwood
? park yesterday John and Albert
. Slaughter, white, were probably fa
f* tally stabbed by Luther Page and Ab?
ner Owens, colored. Chas. Martin and
X Kiley Slaughter were , beaten with
^ clubs. The trouble occurred over an
; .; attack on a small white boy by a col
V* ored man. A small sized riot followed.
^ Finally the colored men were arrested
/? and placed in the county jail.
After m i night and attempt was made
to organize a mob to lynch the prison?
ers. A crowd gathered at the tunnel
on Olive street, but no one volunteered
. to lead the assault on the jaiL If the
attack had been made a bloody battle
undoubtedly would have occurred as 50
armed menVere on guard duty around
the jail'where their friends were im?
prisoned.
Page and Owens were secretly ar?
raigned this afternoon, in the county
JaiL Arrangements were made to re- !
move them to Portsmouth jail for
' safetv immediately, as the authorities
f eared trouble tonight.
The removal of Owens and Page, the
uegro assailants of the Slaughter boys,
to jail at Portsmouth has averted a
crisis here> The two men were today
taken to a train in a closed carriage
guarded ' by officers, and halted a
square from the depot. Officers form?
ed a cordon about the prisoners as
they were led to the train in irons.
~Not a dozen people were aware of the
transfer before the train arrived. Kiley
and Martin Slaughter, brothers of
the wounded men, had started for the
depot, but the train had pulled out a
minute before they arrived. The offi?
cers disarmed the negroes this after?
noon and arrested one who flourished
a revolver. Negroes were congregating
and openly displaying arms.
Shot by His Clerk.
Spartanburg, July 5.-J. D. Collins
proprietor of the '* Bee Hive" store,
was shot and severely wounded today
in his store by -Clifford Gholston, a
young clerk. Recently Collins bought j
the stock of goods belonging to Ghols
ton's father and the youth was em- j
?ployed by Mr. Collins. Today a dis- j
pute arose about some business mat?
ter, which led to a personal encounter,
and the boy drew his pistol and shot
Collins in the stomach. He was 4ble
to ride to his home. The physicians
say there is one chance in a" hundred
iox-bis recovery.
Mexico, July 5.-A number of prom--1
inent Catholics have sent a message
to the Pope relating to the recent al?
leged scandals here and attacking
priests who have been publicly accus
ed. It is believed the vatican. will
send a personal representative of the
Pope to make an examination. There
is much excitement over the charges
made by the press, especially by the
Liberal papers and one at least ^of the
-clerical scandals is to be ventilated
in the criminal court.
.Not only is the growing of the finest
g^ade of Sumatra tobacco under cloth
in progress in Connecticut, but in De?
catur County, Geogia, much is being
done along that line, and very success?
fully. The State commissioner of ag?
riculture, Mr. Stevens, of Atlanta,
has been looking at the crop in Deca?
tur County. He finds 1,500 acres of
tobacco on one farm, 500 of this sriven
Tip to Sumatra under cloth at a cost oj
?30,000. That farm sold more than
451,000 pounds of tobacco last year at
prices ranging from 23 cents to SI a
pound.
On the beach at Coney Island last
Thursday night thousands of persons
were sleeping. The police said the
"number of the sleepers was twice as
great as on the night" before, due, no
doubt, to the announcement in the
morning papers that the police would
?not interfere with them and would see
that no one else molested them.
They began to come down to sleep on
the sand early in the evening. They
?came in droves, bringing shawls and
wraps. Some of them had also pro
-vided thomselves with oilcloth, and,
after scooping out a hole in the sand,
they placed the oilcloth in it to keep
it dry. At U o'clock there were over '
15,000 persons asleep on the beach and 1
ihundreds more were arriving.

I . V
Frederic Villiers, the famous -war art?
ist, in an autobiographical sketch con?
tributed to a London periodical, gives
this picturesque description of his last
meeting with General Skobeleff:
"He vms far and away the most bril?
liant soldier 1 ever met; a man with
mad ideas and sane execution. The
last time 1 saw him was when the
Russian army faced Constantinople, a
splendid instance of the survival of the
fittest 30,000 grim warriors who had
come through the terrible Russo-Turk
ish campaign under Skobeleff. ready at
a moment's notice to occupy the city of
sultans. It was a gray afternoon. The
great general stood outside his tent,
bareheaded, scalp shaven like a Mus?
sulman, flowing yellow beard blown
about by the wind. I had arrived
from Constantinople to bid farewell
to him. as I had been ordered to Malta
to meet the Indian contingent Skobe?
leff said to me:
. "Not good by. Villiers, but an revoir.
We shall meet again, but how? Will
it be when the Russians face the Brit
I isb?" for Skobeleff fully believed, as
i did most people in 1S7S. that there
; would be a campaign between England
and Russia, "or. will you throw in
I your fortunes with us and come with
j me? It would be a new experience
for you." f
"But." I said, "general, how would it
! be if you were beaten.- for yara know
we English are never defeated?"
He laughed and said: "Well, anyhow,
; I shall be well looked after. Ko hana
shall come to you in your case."
! I never saw him asrain.

a curiously irritating effect upon her.
She was shopping one day at certain

of life. "Say good morning and smile!-*
exclaimed Mrs. Kendal impetuously.
The girl stared in mute amazement
4Then I shall remain here until you

persuasive but yet in the firmest tones,
This was too much for the girl. "Good

Latest of Dr. Weir Mitchell's booka

upon the actual experiences of this
cultivated physician and scholar. For
many years Dr. Mitchell has number?
ed among his friends no small share
of the men worth knowing in the east
and from many sources has derived
the sayings with which his book
abounds, matters made essential tc

Beaver, a little terrier, giving every
evidence of his loyalty to the Union

GOT A SENATOR'S HAT.
Actor Crane Appropriated the Bend
r of a Kansas Statesman.
Amollir the stories that are retailed
iii the cloakroom of the senate when
that body is iu session at Washington
is one of how William H. Crane, the
actor, put the finishing touches upon
his great character study. "The Sen?
ator."
"As you well know," said one of the
group, "Crane took his character al?
most directly from Senator Plumb of
Kansas. Crane had just started out
with 'The Senator' and had opened in
Washington. We had all seen the per?
formance and liked it immensely. But
I thought I saw one defect Crane
wore a high silk hat which was not at
all. according to my thinking, in keep?
ing with the imitation of Plumb, who
always wore the characteristic broad
brimmed hat of the southerner. One
evening when Crane. Ingalls. Plumb
and myself happened to be dining to?
gether I remarked to Crane about the
matter of the high hat
" 'You really ought not to wear it
for it is not in keeping with the char?
acter/ said I. 'You ought to wear one
like Plumb's.'
"Craike did not say much in answer,
but when be arose from the table be
reached out for Plumb's hat and calm?
ly put it on. Leaving his own hat for
Plumb, Crane went off down the street
with the old felt affair jammed down
over bis forehead. The senator was
too surprised to offer objection. The
nest night Crane appeared on the
stage with Plumb's hat on his head
and thereafter wore it at every per?
formance."-Chicago Chronicle.
Remarkable Povrer.
A dear old lady was taken one day
to a musical service in a Boston church.
She had heard much about the fine
voice of the soprano and was prepared
for a treat.
She sat in rapt enjoyment until the
service was over and then turned a ra?
diant face toward her escort, who was
a young grandson.
"Dear boy." she said, "you've given
me a great treat. Her voice is perfect?
ly, beautiful. It made cold chills ran
all up and down my spine."
"It's too bad. grandmamma," said
the boy, "but she didn't sing today,
though she was there. The gentleman
next me says she's been suffering from
a bad cold, and one of the chorus had
to sing the solos for ber."
"What, dear?" said the cid lady, look?
ing momentarily distressed. Then her
face cleared, and she patted his arm
reassuringly.
"Xever you mind," she said. "We
can come again some time. But. after
all, if she can make me feel that way
without singing I don't know that it
would be wise for me to hear her. Zsow,
would it?"-Youth's Companion.
A Sensible Query.
Mr. Ashmt-ad-Banlett once told :i
good story about his going to Ireland

came from the extreme north of ire
land. Meeting an Intelligent looking
Irishman, 1 informed him of my mis
sion, saying that my ancestors emigrat?
ed from about that spot 100 years ago.
and I was there trying to look them up
He answered: "Ye say your ancestors
emigrared from our town about loo
years ago? Thin why are ye looking
for them here?"-~London Tit-Bits.
