AN OLD COLOKED MAN BRUTALLY KILLED—PLIGHT OF THE MURDERER. Special Correspondence of the Evexixe Star. Leespune, Va., July 23.—The peace of this un- usually quiet little town was disturbed last night by the murder in the suburbs of George Potter, an old colored man,by Flave Guy,also colored. Potter Went to visit Guy’s mother after church Sunday night. Potter had once been told byGuy not to visit the house, and Quy, hearingPotter's voice, entered. the room 'where Potter was altting and walked up to him witha brick in his hand, with which he struck Potter on the head, fracturing his skull. He then robbed the old man of his watch and $15 in cash and left town. | Potter left the house in is weak condition alone, but was overtaken afriend and carried into a house near ‘at hand, where medical attendance was procured. Potter died at 4 p.m. to-day. The sheriff 4g out in pursult and he has been traced’ to the Point of oars’ wae ‘When found he will be brought to Leesburg to await justice, THE STRIKING OPERATORS. The Situation in This City. MANAGER WHITNEY DENIFS THAT THERE WAS ANY BLOCKADE IN HIS OFFICE CAUSED BY A PRESS OF MATTER FROM NEWSPAPRR CORRESPONDENTS. ‘There was litUle change apparently in the tele- graphic situation in this city this morning. State- ments were published in @ Morning paper tndicat- ing that correspondents of mewspapers last night, sought to increkse the embarrassments of the Western Union company by filing an unusual amount of matter for telegraph, and consequently a block was caused in the Western Unton office here. Manager Whitney,-when his attention was called to this by a Star reporter this morning, de- nied that there was any block in the office. “We cleared off’ all the work in the office,” sald Mr. Whitney, “at 1:15 o'clock this morning.’ We had seventeen operators at work, and our chief opera- tor notifed me curing the’ night that he could handle all the matter Med. It ts true that some cor- respondents filed an unusual amount of matter, but what motive they had I cannot gay. I know that one long special wasMled for a Chicago paper. We received notice at 11:20 o'clock that tie special had been presented to the newspaper office and refused. You can draw your own inferences from that. T un'erstand that one correspondent sali yesterday, Jestingly, I suppose, that he was going To the Treasury to get a quantity of statistics, as he thought that Kind of matter would swamp ‘us. Whether he did so or not I don’t know, as I have not looked into the matter.” “You do not know whether the matter sent was handled all rightin other cities?” said the re- porter. POT know that wesvere notified in the evening,” sald Mr. Whitney, “that there were interruption: at Cleveland and Chicago. We at once noti correspondents that If they sent matter to these points it would be subject to the rules of the office.” “Was the interruption caused by a storm?” askeil the reporter. “We had reports trom Wheeling,” sald Mr. Whitney, “and other points that a storm was raz- ing, and f do not know Whether the Interruption was caused by the storm or was Intentional. I preferred, of course, to attribute it to the storm.” THE BANKERS’ MERCHANTS’ LINE BUSY—A PROS- PECTIVE INCREASE OF SALARIES. Manager Cox, of the Bankers’ and Merchants’ line, when asked by a Stax reporter if its line was suffering any interruption pointed toa heap of posters which were avout tobe distributed through city Informing the word at large that tucre ‘was no delay on that line. you had much business?” asked the re= ald Mr. Cox, we have had to put three trikers at work, and will have to get extra, men for our branch offices.” “What truth is there in the report that the Bankers’ and Merchants’ line have voluntarily Tulsed the salaries of operators?” “The Southern telegraph line,” sald Mr. Cox, “which ts closely connected with the Banker: and Merchants’, have, without solicitation, added #5 4 month to the salary of each operator. "I sup- pose that the Bankers’ and Mere ints’ will follow Suit, though nothing has been done yet.” Headquarters of the Bro THE STRIKERS HOP AND WARM WEATHER I XG THEM—A PUBL! ING TO BE HELD TO-NIGHT.

So long as they are kept w the Western Union they will “stay ta th placea” “Tiere are reports,” said the reporter, “that the brotherhood have men at work in all the Large ome?” The truth 18,” sald the spokesman, “that we have frieaisin all the offi and that We get down to all the dots of the situation, We know What ts golng on In the offlees.” “The Wesiern Union office,” sald one of the op- erators, “received one reerult yesterday. name 15 DeWees, and he bits been worslog at the corner of 7th and F streets for the Bank: Merchants’ Ine. ‘The committee of the brother- hood waligd upon Mr. DeWees prior to the strike and he gave them ‘solemn assurances that he wouldn't go to work.” THE MEETING OF THE TELEGRAPHERS LAST NIGHT The mectings of the local branch of the Brother hood of telegraphers have been heid in secret. ‘The organizatton 1s a secret one, and its proceed- ings are conducted aevording to a ritual Th ceremony Of initiation, it ts td, 15 quile elabor- ate. In order to give the publte full information of the position of the telegraphers and thelr | strength, the inembers of he Brotherhood have consideréd the advisubility of holding public sessions.

Resolutiows of sympathy adopted by the Women’s National In- Gustrial League and a large gumber of encourag- Ing telegrams from differefft points were read. One dispatch from New York announced that the cable operators at North Sidney and Duxbury bad struck. KEY NOTES.

WHAT THEY SAY AT THE SIGNAL OFFICE—A THUNDER SHOWER THIS EVENING—TO-MORROW TO BE A LIT- TLE COOLER—THE TELEGRAPHFRS’ STRIKE INTER- FSRING WITH THE WORK OF THE WEATHER BUREAU. “Where does this bot weather come from?” asked a SraR reporter at the signal office this morning. “Judging from the feel, I should say It comes from Hades,” was the reply; “but 1f you look at the weather maps you will see that there 13 a high barometer in the region of the gulf of Mex:co. Tits always brings Southerly winds, and then look out for warm weather. It will Be cooler to- morrow, though,” continued the officer; “not much, but six or eight degrees cooler. We will have a thunder shower this afternoon, and proba- bly some more rain to-night, which will cool the atmosphere alittle. The thermometer Is six de- rees lower this morning than It was yesterday, uit We feel the heat Just as much, on account of the moisture in the atmosphere.” THE OPERATORS’ STRIKE DRMORALIZING THE WEATHER REPORTS. “Doesn't the strike of the telegraph operators interfere with your work?” asked the reporter. “It does, indeed,” was the reply; “and the state of affairs seem to be getting worse every day. On the first day of the strike the reports came in pretty well, but they have been coming slower and more ‘meager since then, and in addition In- experienced operators who are employed make many mistakes in sending the reports. Of course this condition of things interferes with the suc- cessrul weather pred'ctions, and the people blame the signal service. Last nigiit it was nearly twelve o'clock before the reports were all in_and we could umenee upon the calculations. Indeed, Thope this state of affairs won't last m longer.” pots The National Amateur Regatta. THE CREWS FROM THE COLUMBIAS OF THIS CITY.
