6?SM?GK m HE NEGBO QUESTION Tennessee Senator Proposes to Have Fifteenth Amendment Re? pealed. Ciiicago, Sept. 15.- A disaptch to the Tribune from Merohpis, Tenn, says: United States Senator Carmack ex? plained last night that his purpose in proposing to introduce a bill, at the next session of Congress for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, thus dis? franchising tlie negro, is simply to open up a discussion which will con? tribute to a iiolation of the race prob? lem. To Senator Carmack's mind the surest plan of solving the negro ques? tion a3 it affects the white race, both socially and politically, lies in the negro's elimination from politics. Should the fifteenth amendment be re? pealed the question of treating with the negro would be left to the States. Another visw entertained by Senator Carmack is for the separation of the . races. But how to proceed or, how long it will take he does not attempt to say. He believes, however, that the races would be better conditioned if they were separated. He believes the black race is a failure, that it owes j what little it has achieved to its asso? ciation with the white race. As to the enfranchisement of the negro immediately after the war be? tween the States, the Senator regards that as a mistake, for which the re? peal of the fifteenth amendment would be only partial reparation. GOP EAGERS' POWERS. tine Speed of Yachts is Difficult to Measisre. In the great game cf yacht sailing just played onside of Sandy Hook there is one feature above all other that appealed to every one of the many thousand spectators, striking with equal force the practical yachtsman and most casual looker-on, says W. P. Stephens in The engineering Maga? zine. The towering spars and enor? mous area of canvass on each contes? tant are so far in excess of anything previously seen over any hull of simi? lar size as to challenge the attention : of the greenest landsman. The result . of these great' sail plans ?s simply power in excels, out of all normal and reasonable-relation to the element of the hull, and it is only through such excess of power that a compara? tively small gain ?n actual speed is possible. There is nothing more diffi? cult to measure than the trae speed of a large sailing yacht, as she may race for an entire seiason without one realizing that peculiar combination of conditions which will put; her at lier best; in default of reliable fignres we may assume that ;he speed of the first of the great class |of 90-foot cup defenders, Puritan, was about 12 knots, and that the modern representa? tives of the class are capable at the -utmost of lo knots. To attain this in? crease of 25 per cent, certainly a liberal one, the length on the water line has been increased from 81 feet to 90 feet ll per cent ; the displacement has been increased from 105 tons to something under 150 tons, or about 40 per cent, while the sail area bas risen from 7,300 squa re Jeet to 16,000 square feet, or an incraese of nearly 120 per cent. Incidentally, while the cost of the modem cup racer is: known only to owners, designers and build? ers, J tis safe to say that the wooden Puritan, today in use as a cruieing schooner, cost less than one-tenth of the bronze Reliance, whose value in a very few years will be only that of scrap metal. ?i-^~??- - Looks Like War in Colorado. Cripple Crsek, Col., Sept. 15.-A consignment of 1,000 Krag-Jorgensen Tifies from the United Stats Govern? ment arrived in camp today, and were immediately distributed among the troops cn duty here. Besides the new rifles, 60,000 rounds of ammunition were also received. This is the first new equipment to be sent to Colorado under the Dick bilL A meeting of county officials was held today for the purpose of trying to devise means for ascertaining inst bow far the military authorities cac go in the arrest of citizens without warrants of law. At the conclusion of the meeting it was announced that so action so far had been decided upon. It is semi-officially given out that some of the best attorneys in the United States are to be employed, to get the matter quickly before the .United States Supreme Court ? County Commissioner Patrick J. I^ynch and Justcie of the Peace W. P. Reilly, who were arested by the mili? tary last night and subsequently re? leased, tonight announced their deter? mination to bring civil suits for 81C0, 000 damages or false imprisonment against Governor Peabody, Gens Bell sod Chase, and others connected wtih their arrests, whom they will charge with conspiracy. Lynch and Reilly were charged with having criti? cised acts of the militia and counseiied miners not to return. Former Attor? ney General Eugene Engley, counsel for four union leaders, who are held prisoners in the military gnard house, and Attorney John H. Murphy, of the Western Federation of Miners, con suited together today with reference to protection of the union miners from alleged aggressions of the mili? tia. After the conference, Mr. Mur? phy said : "There is nothing in the Constitu? tion of this State which can uphold the proceedings of the militia since they have come into the district. Under the Constitution the militia of ?the State is given a very limited scope. Even now Gen. Bell is amen? able to the* civil laws for his ac? tions." What is Life ? In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is nuder strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results.

Columbia, Sept. 15.-The following was issued from the office of the secre? tary, of the Chamber of Commerce to? night: "The announcement of tire rates for the approaching State Fair, fixed by the railroads,- has just been made by ! the Southeastern Passenger Associa ! tion. The* rates announced are as fol? lows : "For individuals, one first-class fare, plus * ?5 cents for round trip, plus 50 cents admission to Fair grounds for adults and 25 cents for children ; mini? mum rate, including admission, heine: $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. "For ^military companies and brass bands in uniforms, twenty-five or more on "one ticket, one cent per mile each direction. "The rate for individuals was for several years - one and one-third one first-class fare for the round trip. "The limit on the tickets this year is a decided improvement. Tickets will go on sale on October 24, the Sun? day before the Fair, and will con? tinue on sale through the 29th, Thurs? day, and for trains scheduled to arrive in Columbia prior to noon on October 30th, Friday, '?hus giving opportunity to all to come to see the trades and carnival parade on Friday night. "Tickets for shippers of live stock and their employees will . be sold on October 21, 22 and 23 on presentation of certificates signed by the secretary of the Souths Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society. "It will be gratifying to many who intend to attend the Fair to know that the limit of tickets returning will be November 2, the Monday following the Fair. "This year special validating agen? cies will be located contiguous to the railway stations at Columbia. "They will be in charge of Mr. Joseph Kich ardson and will be open one hour prior to the departure of each train, October 2? to November 2, inclusive. "The most important feature of the announcement is that the schedule of rates authorized, which heretofore only included all stations in South j Carolina and Augusta, Ga., will apply ! this year to Asheville, Charlotte and j Wilmington, in North Carolina, and to Augusta and Savannah, in Georgia, practically, all of Columbia's sister! cities. Last year the people of Ashe- j ville complained of the failure to give ? them rates and an effort to get them j failed. This year these points were ? particularly urged in the application. ! "The time limits allowed for sale J of tickets! and for return, are allowed j ; as requested by the joint application j of the State Fair authorities and the ! Chamber of Commerce committee. | Though a lower rate was requested, it ? was scarcely expected this year to be ! ' better than that which has been ! allowed. j! BOTTLE BLOWING MACHINE, j' New Invention That Wiil Do Away , With Glass Blowers. A trust has been organized by a' Toledo, O., glass factory owner and ? capitalist with $3,000,000, to exploit a glass bottle blowing machine, to take j the place of glass bottle blowers. It j is claimed for this machine'that three J men with- three - machines, working, eight hours each, can do the work of j lOS'?aen. The trust is incorporated j under the laws of New Jersey, with . I headquarters at Trenton. Concerning j this machine the Toledo, O., News ? Bee says. "The new bottle-making machine is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity, i and the creation of Mr. M. J. Owens. | It is an entirely automatic apparatus . and can do the work of forty-two men and boys under the old system of bottle manufacture. The machine is ? tlie result of four and one-half years" ? experimental ^work, and is now in- I stalled and in operation in a model west-end factory, where upwards of fifty of the leading glass manufactur? ers of the country have inspected it duing the summer now waning. "Under the old system the bottles are now blown singly and made by hand and mouth of the operative at tlie r*te of sixteen gross per day for six men and boys, and the new auto? matic machine will rcsh the finished botles through at the amazing speed of ninety gross per day or nine bot? tles every minute,, minus the labor of six men and boys. "The machine not only manufactur? es faster than under the old method, but promises a saving in the cost of beer bottles alone of 83,000,000 per annum." A Labor Agent Lynched. Centreville, Miss., Sept. 15.-Wil-1 liam Williams, a negro, was lynched . on Main street here today by a mob of several hundred people. Williams, who was a labor agent, has been here several dajs employing negroes for contractors in other sections of the State, and it is alleged that he entic? ed several employees to leave. James H. Germany, remonstrated with him about his condnct. A quarrel followed and Williams drew a revolver and shot ' Germany dead. I The negro attempted to escape, but a mob was quickly on his heels and the negro was captured and shot to death.

MILLIONS FOB IMPROVEMENT. Will Carry Out the Double-Track Project. Announcement has been made that at a recent meeting of the officials of the Washington Southern Company, which owns the Washington Southern Railroad and the Richmond, Fred ericksbnrg and Potomac Railroad, the sam of $11,000,000 was voted to carry out the project of double-tracking the system between Washington and Rich? mond. The Washington Southern Railroad extends from the south end of the Long Bridge to Quantico, while the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad runs from that point to Richmond, the two beiDg recogniz? ed as one and commonly know as the i4 Richmond and Washington Short Line." The Washington Southern Company is owned by the six railroads entering Washington, namely, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Pennsyl? vania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern. The work of double-tracking the "short line" has been cafried on al? most continually for the past few years. With the issue jast voted, how? ever, a larger force of engineers and workmen, it is understood, will be put to work and the project will be pushed as rapidly as possible. It is further learned that $6,000,000 of the authorized bonds have already been issped. They are, it is said, held by insurance and other financial corpora? tions of Greater New York. The six railroads entering Washington are named as guarantees and the issue bears 4 per cent, interest. A portion of the money voted will be used in making other improvemlents. The "short line" is 116 miles long.-Wash? ington Star.

Rescued from Suffering and Death by PAINE'S Celery Compound THE GREAT HEDICINE. MR. ALFRED BROWN, A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says : - "After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound, I Am Now in the Best of Health." The greatest of modem physicians, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., after years of long practice and close scientific study, gave to suffering and diseased men and women his marvelous, life giving prescription, with the conviction and positive knowledge that it had peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from the best known and most reliable men and women of our country fully sustain the claims made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar? able Paine's Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, comes recently from a gentleman widely ' known in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91 O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's letter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden of disease and become well, strong, and happy. It proves, too, that the great medicine main? tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well as with the masses. Mr. Brown says: "I acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years' standing by use of Paine's Celery Compound. I had, during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of j the best doctors of this city, hoping to find , that one of them, at least, would understand j my case. MI was getting worse, and was told I was incurable: I was indeed in a critical condi? tion. I could not go from the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came to me. I could not sleep; anything that I ate increased my agonies; I was extremely weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was obliged to walk about with my hands pressed firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my i feet and hands were cold continually; had j inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, i quick breathing, and would be racked with j pain for hours at a time. " After the regular use of Paine's Celery ! Compound for a time, I am now in the best of | health, have good appetite, and can use any . kind of food. Thank God I am my old self 1 once more, all through the use of Paine's ' Celery Compound." FOB TWENTY YEARS DIAMOND DYES have been the standard home dye?.

A dispatch from Providence to The New York Herald says: While the guests at- an outing at Rocky Pout on Saturday for Miss May Goelet and her fiance, tlie Duke of Roxburghe, were landing on a launch from the yacht Narada, several cameras were ready for instant action as the duke and Miss Goelet started to climb up the land? ing. Mr. Harry Lehr was the only one j who was angered by the sight of the j photographer. He tried in vain to arouse the anger of other members of tlie party. The only satisfaction he re? ceived was a laughing remark from one. "That won't hurt you, Harry; real? ly, I would like a picture of you my? self.'' The cameras did their work un- j molested. In addition to shooting the chutes j and riding on the roller toboggan, ! which the members of the party enjoy- j ed until the thunder storm caused them to scamper for shelter, Mr. Lehr mounted a long necked giraffe in the | menagerie. Standing on the sloping ! back of the animal and supported by the iron post he executed a variety of dance steps to the music of the merry go-round, which greatly amused the party. Wilmington, Setp. 15.-Frederick D. Cddlipp, superintendent of tele? graph for the Atlantic Coast Line Rairload Company, with headquarters in Wilmingon, died rather suddenly ! of heart failure at his home in this j city tonight at 11.30 o'clock.
