BLOODY filO? IN RICHMOND. Six Men Shot in Clash Between Militia and Strikers. ? Larger Force of militia Called Out-Au? thorities Will Put Down Revolt at AU Costs. Richmond, Va., June 24.-Six men were wounded tonight, two of them seriously, by street railway company guards, who fired into a crowd of j strike sympathizers at Main and Lom? bardy streets, just outside the city limits. A car guarded by employes of the company, armed with shot guns, was standing at that point. There had been a big crowd there all the even? ing. The company claims that the guards were first fired on. At any rate, they fired into the crowd and a brick fusil ade followed. Six persons were injured and two of them serious? ly, being peppered with buckshot. While this was taking place in the West End, exciting scenes were being enacted in the East End, where.efforts were made to operate cars under - the protection of the military. All sorts of missiles were hurled at the cars and obstructions placed on the track. Finally the cars under the pilotage of a detachment of' the Howitzers, with a Gatling gun were taken to the bara. AU cars were withdrawn from the streets at 9.45 p. m.,, for the ni?ht. Five companies of the 71st regiment from Norfolk and Newport; News are en route for the city to reinforce the troops already here, and are expected to arrive in the early morning hours. The mayor has issued an address ask? ing women and children to keep off tile streets tomorrow. It is proposed is the event that the military are un? able at that time to cope with the mob, to order out the fire department . and have streams from the hose played upon disorderly gatherings. Three cf the militiamen were wounded today by the accidental discharge of a rifle. One of them was : taken to the hospital, but is not dan- ; gerousry injured. At ll o'clock tonight .Sheriff Solo? mons of Henri co county decided to ask for trooops. He made the request and the governor issued orders to the military authorities accordingly. Militia will therefore guard the cars and car bains and patrol the lines of tte street car company tomorrow with? out as well as within the .city liimts. l?'lHEB WAS IN ii. He pt All He Wanted for His : District From Supt. Machen Now under Indictment. The New York Sun's Washington ; correspondent, in a discussion of the i postoffice scandals, now being uncov- i jered says : < The investigation of the rural free I delivery service up to the present time ' as hdemonstrtaed that a considerable proportion of the routes established < i?ythe former superintendent of the i free delivery service are to all intents < and purposes practically worthless - from every point of view. The dis ^tr?ete of certain members of the House of Representatives with whom Mr. Machen was more than ordinarily; in- ? t?mate are plastered with rural routes, j until an official map of the district ( showing the intersecting routes looks 1 like a spider's web. I This is especially true in the ? ?s?trjct represented in the Fifty j seventh Congress by Senator Larimer : of South Carolina. Mr. Latimer and ; Supt. Machen were warm friends. One ] of the most complete county systems 1 in the entire rural free system is in i operation in Mr. Larimer's former dis- : trict, although a careful investigation has shown that on some routes 75 per < cent, of the patrons can neither read nor write, and do not receive on an : average half a dozen letters'a year. "As a result of this discovery, the alleged ^'county service" will "be abolished and only those routes retained which , are absolutely necessary and which show by the quarterly receipts that ney "pay." This specific instance is only one of a large number of the same kind, and interests in Mr. Madlen's testimony lies in the fact that it is expeeted to show everything in connection with the establishment of useless routes, sud the consideration that was return? ed for patronage received. A special from Wilmington, Del., says there has been general rejoicing in that city because the negro atoned ~with his life for his crime against a beantiful girl, and on every street comer the action of the mob has been applauded. "The leaders are proud of their work," says the correspond? ent, "and have received congratula? tions of women as weil as of men. Tne scene of White's agony has been thronged throughout the day, and those who went there early have brought back ghastly trophies and souvenirs. There are "few persons in this city who have not seen some of the charred bones, which have been proudly exhibited at many gatherings. The only regret expressed is that "White's agony was so quickly cut short by death. "The leaders of the mob are popular heroes. John Baker, a motorman employed by the trolley company, ?who is given credit for being the fore? most of these, has been feted on every side. There is no secret about tile leaders in the attack on the work? house and the lynching of White. Their namer are on every tongue. The authorities know them." ~ A dispatch from Atlanta states that the synod of Georgia has addressed a communication to the synods of Louisi? ana, Alabama, Tennessee, North and .South Carolina asking for a meeting of those synods to be held in Atlanta to determine whether the universities in this city and at Clarks vi lie, Tenn., .ball be consolidated into the million dollar university, for which Atlanta bas recently raised $250,000.-Louis? ville Courier-Journal. Asheville, N. C., June 25.-It is reported here that some time this morning George Burrell, aged 70, shot and fatally wounded his daughter-in law, Mrs;. Burrell, and seriously wounded her ten-year-old daughter, at their home in Henderson county, thirty miles from this city. It is stated that Burrell fired the shots from am? bush. It is alleged that Burrell had become incensed over Mrs. Burrell's Tefu3al to do some work for him. STATE SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS. Two Hundred and Fifty Teachers Already at Winthrop. Rock Hill, June 23.-"Winthrop col? lege opens wide her doors to receive yon and cordially Welcomes yon to this the fourth summer school held in her walls.'' Thus President Johnson began his address of welcome to the teachers who were present tins morning.'About 250 teachers have arrived and others are expected. The faculty is a strong one and the course of study offered broad. There are many new faces among those in at? tendance, while not a few have been here during other sessions and find themselves not among strangers. Announcements were made this morning and everything has moved off smoothly. The school does not promise to be so large as in other years, but there will be enough to insure enthusiasm and real good work. Maj. Cummings, who was scheduled to teach rhetoric and literature, is un? well and will not be here. His work will b? well cared for by Dr. Kinard and "Miss Noyes. The study in arithmetic may be given, though Supt. Sharpe was un? able to come. The teachers are showing remark? able interest in the lecture study by Dr. David E. Cloyd of New York and by Supt. Lawton 6. Evans. This term promises to be char? acterized* by work and study. President Johnson and Snpt. Martin are well pleased with the prospects. And the teachers already are making pleasant acquaintances. The citizens of Rock Hill and the president and faculty of Winthrop college will tender the faculty and pupils of the State Summer school and the faculty and cadets of the Citadel academy a reception on the Withrop campus on Thursday evening of this week from 8 to ' ll o'clock. The citi? zens generally are expected to cooper? ate and all strangers are cordially in? vited to be present. F?SHT ON UNIONS IN CHARLESTON. Master Tradesmen Unite and Will not Employ Members of Build? ers' Trades Council. Charleston, June 25.-At a meeting held at Hibernian Hall last Tuesday evening, which was attended .by prac? tically all the white contractors, plumbers, gasfitters, tinners and other master trades and builders and supply men of all materials used in building, a permanent organization for mutual projection was perfected and an iron? clad agreement executed by which all of the various interests agreed to stand by each other and fight the Builders' "Trades' Council, so-called, to a finish. The governing committee, composed of a representative from each trade and supply house, appointed with extra? ordinary powers, have prepared a no? tice, which will be posted on all build? ings "under construction or repair, which notice reads as follows: "On and after 5 p. m., Saturday, June 27, 1903, no employee who is a member of the Builders' Trades Coun? cil will be permitted to work on this building. All employees must choose between the Builders' Trades Council and their employers. Fealty to one means bad faith to the other. We do ?ot object to any man belonging to a trade union of his own craft, provided be does not interfere with other Labor. All employees are hereby dis? charged . on and after th? date above aamed until they cease their connec? tion with the Builders' Trades Coun? cil. "By order of the Governing Com? mittee." Every detail has been perfected whereby absolute unity of action will be secured, and it will be impos? sible for any discharged employee who insists on continuing a member of the Builders' Trades Council to secure employment with any of the members of the Association, which includes every white man in the various lines in the city. It has also been determined that if the walking delegate enters any of the premises where work is going on he will be promptly ordered off, and if he returns will be arrested and prosecuted for trespass. If any undue effort be made to influence a man otherwise proceedings will be instituted in the Courts by way of injunction. Com? petent counsel has been secured by the Association for this purpose.

What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Any one with a bad back, any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from any kidney ills, will find the following evidence proof that relief and cure is near at hand: Mr. G. M. Myers, the well-known shoe? maker of Winchester avenue and 14th street, Ashland, Ky., says : "Doan's Kid? ney Pills are like true friends, the longer you know them the better they are appre? ciated. I can add nothing to the state? ment I first made in 1896 after I procured the remedy at the Ventura Drug Co., and took a course of the treatment, which cured me. I was absolutely free from all backache for nearly three years, then I noticed a slight ache, as the result of a cold, in my back. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills disposed of it. I have recommended this remedy to many, and have never heard of one who did not endorse the claims made for it." For sale by ali dealers. Price, 50 cents. Foster-Mil burn Co., Buffalo, X.

Pukall, who reside on upper Broad street, was choked to death yes? terday morning by the red skin that covers the nut of the peanut. Along with several other children Albert was playing in the yard of the home. Some one bought peanur canch? an d the children began to eat it. While eating a piece of the candy Al? bert was taken with choking sensation, which was quickly followed by oppres? sive breathing. Mrs. Pukall was called and at once saw that something serious was wrong with the child. At the time no one was aware of the trou? ble. Dr. L. P. Tessier, who resides near, was sent for, but before he could reach the scene the child was beyond all human aid. Dr. H. H. Malone was called in, but ali efforts to restore life were unsuccessful. The physicians examined the throat and found the pic?e of peanut skin, which had entered the windpipe, and became lodged in such a way as to cut off the supply of air to the lungs. Raleigh, N. C., June23.-Four Sea? board Air Line men are dead and one badly injured as .a result of a head-on collision at Niagara, N. C., 65 miles from Raleigh, and within three miles of Southern Pines.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think of. Headaches as a rule, result from a dis? ordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak? ened, and headaches result. If the liver is. sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches invariably follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys? tem must l>e strengthened and vitalized. The most persistent cases of headache, nerv?i s feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the great reconstruetant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tell* of her release from suffering as follows: *.* I have 1-een troubled with dyspepsia aiiJ sick headache for a number of years. Alxau even' week I would have a Lad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone,.and I do not have any more headaches. I feel better than I have for years.'5 5o Need Soiling the Hands with DIAMOND DYES Diamond Dyes are easy and cleanly to use. Made for home economy ; never disappoint.
