BRUSH’S MEN SLAIN. Bloody Riet in the Streets of Carterville, Ill. —Six Negro Miners Killed and Another Mortally Wounded. Carterviile, Iilinoie, Sept. 17 —A bleody riot occurred in the streets of this city at noon to day between imported negroes employed at the mines of the Big Muddy Coal Com pany and union white minera, who bave béen on a strike for some time. Six imported negroes were killed, and one mortally wounded It ie claimed two more negroes were wounded but escaped to the mines The Carbondale militia arrived a: 4 o'clock this afternoos, and Gov. Tanner has also ordered t' e Newton and Mount Verron companies to the seene of trouble All were literally riddled witb shots, and all must have died instantly. Sim Cummings received a wound in the head just under thea left eye. another in the left side, and a third in his right knee. He died to night, making seven negros dead. T. J.

A Bad Accident. Saturday evening about 6 o'clock Dr. Boulware was called to adminis ter to the wants of Mrs. Wiley Adams, who had met with a serious accident at her home in the south west part of ths city. Her son, Vance, accompanied by his wife and baby, of Adrian, was down to spend tne day, and as they were about to take their departure, Mrs. Adaras stepped between the wheels of the vehicle to kiss the baby and at the time the horses started up, forcing the wheel against her left leg with such force as to break the thigh bone. In the way of accidents this estimable lady has been very unfortunate. In November, 1895, while returning from church she slipped and fell on the ice, breaking her right leg Mrs. Adams is an elderly lady and on this account, no doubt, she will be confined te her bed for several weeks.

PEOPLE’S TRIBUTE The Welcoms at New York Wit not Be Official. Washiogton, Sept. 15 —The Pres- ident will not go to New York to welcome Dewey and each Cabinet officer who has been invited will de- | cline.

The main feature of the illum ination will be red fire. It is plan ned to have 200 men dreesed in| white sailors’ uniforms and caps stationed along the line of parade 0a either side of the street, who will burn torches of red fire as the pro- cession passes. These torches will be held at least twelve feet from the ground, so that the smoke may not obscure the view of the psrade, and are calculated to make Pennsylvania avenue a blaze of red light. Besides this feature there will be batteries stationed all along the line of march which will throw tricolored stars from either side of the street in such a manner as toform a contin uous arch of fire. Aerial fireworks will be freely used, the dome of the capital will be illuminated in a fitting maoner. Whether this will be done by throwing upon it the rays of ocumerous searchlights or whether it will be lighted up by some other means has net yet been determined, but the result is certain to be ob. tained. j | | To the Public: Our new Corliss safe has arrived.

The passeng- ers were then commanded to dis mount from the stage and were drawn up ina row, while the high- wayman abstracted the express box of Welle, Fargo & Co, but left the United States mail bag and made no attempt to rob the passengers. The robber then plunged into the thicket which adjoins the road, and the last heard of him was a report, which probahly indicated the blow- ing off of the lock on the express box.

THE SUTIN CONFSN All Sorts of War Stories from Lom. don, But Nothing Has Devel. oped to Cause Alarm. BOER TROOPS ON THE NATAL FRONTIER News of the Mobilization Causes a Wide spread Pante Throughout the Countey and Hundreds of Families Have Fleq to the Cape, Fearing a Hoer Rald—Re mor of a More Conciliatory Message, London, Sept. :9.—While all England is demanding that Kruger’s defiance be resented, it is evident that the Sonth African republics hope something will intervene to avert war. Though the Boer women are clamoring for arms with which to stand or fall with the men of the Transvaal, the Mail’s cor. respondent at Cape Town intimates that the Orange Free State is endeay ing to secure American intervention, The Mail prints the following from him: The United States consul in Cape Town has gone to Bloemfontein at the request of the gov- ernment of the Orange Free State to confer re« garding the s Th ee Free State ex- ecutive f s to re American tnter- vention. President Kruger’s last answer to Britain, stripped of its Dutch verbiage, may be summarized in the one word, “won't.” As a result, England is talking seriously of war. For the first time since the long wrangle began, people seem to have a definite notion of what all the about. It is something like this: Kruger won't recognize England as a suzerain with a right to meddle ia the internal affairs of the Transvaal republic. Kruger won't give the Outlanders a franchise after five years’ residence in the country. Kruger won't admit that the gold fields should have at least a quarter of the represen- tation in the volksraad. Kruger has not made up his mind as to allow- ing the new burghers equal rights with the old residents in the election of the president and commander-in-chief. The Outlander press sees nothing but war ahead and urges the Outlanders to leave immediately. The Pall Mall Ga- zette prints a dispatch from Cape Town which says: ‘‘The general impression is that Boers will at once take the in- itiative and an attack is expected at any hour.” Camps of Refuge for Boer Families. Johannesburg, Sept. 19.—There is a general panic along the border and the families of the Boers are being hurried into camps, where they will be safe when hostilitiesopen. Camps of refuge have been established at Amersfoont and in other parts of the province of Wakkerstroom for the safety of the Boer families along the frontier. The agents of the Transvaal government are buying horses freely. Widespread Panic Throughout Natal. Pietermaritzburg, Natal, Sept. 19.— News of the mobilization of the Boer army on the frontier has caused a wide- spread panic in this city and through- out Natal. Many families have al- ready fled to the cape and hundreds of others are hurriedly packing up, fear- ing a Boer raid at any moment. Natal Town Deserted. Ladysmith, Natal, Sept. 19.—A great stampede has begun here, a courier having brought word that the Boer Staats artillery had gone into camp on the border. Charlestown is deserted, scarcely a man remaining in the town. LIVING ON FISH PASTE. Prompt Arrival of Government Aid Saved Seventy-Five Americans in the Klon- dike from Starvation. Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 19.—Seventy- five Americans, who were stranded at Mud lake, on the terrible Edmonton trail to the Klondike, have arrived here. They came out at the joint ex- pense of the American and Canadian governments, who acted in the nick of time and thus prevented many scores of deaths. When the government aid party arrived these men had one day’s meal only which they had been saving for a good feast before they laid them- selves down to die. They had been living up to that time on fish paste, which is flour mixed with water in whieh Indians had previously boiled their fish. Southwest Missouri M. E. Conference. Neosho, Mo., Sept. i9.—The twenty- ninth annual session of the Southwest Missouri conference of the M. E. church south will convene in this city on Wednesday morning, with Bishop John C. Granberry, of Virginia, in the chair. The subject of education will re- ceive special attention. Neosho and the southern part of the conference are very anxious that nothing be done which shall in any wise hamper Scar- ritt collegiate institute. Union Veterans at Chattanooga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.—About :,500 union veterans from Illinois, In- diana and Ohio have arrived to attend the dedication of Indiana monuments and the Wilder brigade monument and the reunion of the Wilder brigade to- morrow. Gov. Mount, of Indiana, is among the arrivals. Gen. Wilder is on the ground, assisting in the reception of his old comrades. This Prisoner Had Nerve. Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 19.—-George Yancey, charged with assault with in- tent to kill, walked out of the court- room here, where he was on trial, and has not been seen since. Yancey’s offense consists of a murderous assault upon awoman. His surety claims ex- emption on the ground that it had ful- filled its obligation by delivering Yancey in court.
