Mosteomeny, Avs., August 16.--About four weeks ago a negro tried to rape a young white girl, daughter of Benjamin Carpenter, at Jacksonville, Calhoun county. The negro was arrested, and for two nights the jail was guarded. Thursday night » mob of 1,000 swearing they would have the negro or burn the jail, started on their errand, but the sheriff was too quick for them and shipped the negro down to Anniston. Yesterday the mob was reorganized at Anniston sweari vengeance on the negro and again the sheriff was forced to ship his prisoner to some point south of there, presumably Talladega.

The sheriff was there. together with fifwen deputies, all of whom were armed. They made no display of their weapons, All the lyuchers were armed with guus and revolvers, ‘ihe sheriff refused to deliver the keys to the jail, but was soon overpowered, the deputies offer- ing no resistance to the invaders.

POWDERLY’S MOVEMENTS. He Has Not Yet Gone to Any New York Central Officials. New Yous, August 16.—Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning Mr. Powderly eluded the report- ere at the 8t Clond Hotel and left the place with Secretary Hayes and Mr. Deviing. Where he went could not be learned, but it was rumored that he bad gone to confer with Mr. Wright of the executive board. Mr. Lee had a long conference with Mr. Powderly last night, which lasted until 1 o'clock this morning. At noon it was announced that the meeting between Vice President Webb and Mr. Pow- derly will not take place until this afternoon Later it was that the local and general executive boards of the Knights of Labor sre in session at the St. Cloud Hotel. At noon Mr. Powderly consented to see a reporter and said: “I do not know whether we shall cail on Mr. Wabb this afternoon or not, The executive board and the local strike leaders have been in session all the morning, but no definite action has been decided on. The conference will be continued this afternoun and some decided action taken.” The reporter asked if Mr. E. J. Lee had been deposed as master workman of D. A. Assembly 246, and was told that he had not. EXTENT OF THE BUFFALO STRIKE The New York Central Completely Blocked at That Point. Burvavo, N.Y., August 16.—The strike on the Central which was supposed to be over took @ second turn this morning, when 5 o'clock a.m. the switchmen on that road in this city, as well as the West Shore men, went out in # body. The canse of this new complication, it is understood originated yesterday afternoon. The yardmas- terat Black Rock was ordered to send three men to the Exchange Street depot to take the places of others who went out a week ago, which he did. Upon arriving at the depot, and, being told what was wanted of them, the Black Rock men declined to go to work, whereupon the yardmaster was called upon and requested to do something which, it is claimed, was in the neture of ‘ing another man’s place, and he declined, He was discharged and the others with him, ; : This was laid before the executive committee of the switchmen, and a delegation trom that organization went to Superintendent Burrow to talk with him upon the sub- ject, but, it ie alleged he would ve nothing whatever to do with them, refusing to discuss the subject. The Bwitchmens’ U nion then called a err for last night, and after looking into the subject the strike was ordered. The situation about the Central depot and yards today is a serious one. All trains, both in and out, are delayed, Every belt line train is behind and much difficulty is experienced in bandling cars, At East Buffalo everything is quiet, but hardly a wheel is turning. The switchmen were keeping away from the company’s prop- erty altogether. Superintendent of Police Morin was early on the ground with a lot of his men, but there was no work for them to do. The strike of the New York Central has in- creased the inconvenience already felt by shippers at East Buffalo, particularly of live stock for points blocked only by the Cenfral, and for a week past or wince the strike was first reported the shipments of live stock and ——- freight consigned through have fallen off. —_—.---- Interpreting a Prohibitory Law. Des Moiyxs, Iowa, August 16.—Attorney General John Y. Stoneof Iowa has givens written opinion as to the present status of the Towa prohibitory law in so far as it affects the interstate shipments of liquors. In substance he says: ‘The effect of the decision of the su- reme court in the case of Leisy et al. agt. fea waste deny that the prohibitory law was applicable to interstate shipments of liq- nors, ‘The effect of the recent act of Congress wag to make such liquors subject to thatlaw. In my judgment the true consideration of the recent act is that Congresy intended that the state laws already in existence, as well as those hereafter enacted, should apply to liquors com- ing Into the state for use, sa.e or storage. The language of the law of Congress, as well as the object of its enactment, supports the view that a re-enactment of the state law is not necessary to give vitality to its provisions.” Newma: Sermons. Loxpow, August 16,—It transpires that for several years the sermons of Cardinal Newman were reported verbatim without the knowledge of the cardinal. The reports have been care- fully preserved and it is intended to publish them as soon as possible. Sa Hostilities in Africa. Loxpoy, August 16.—Advices from east Africa represent that hostilities are again ap- prehended on the part of the natives toward the German settlements.

Reports from western Kansas are to the effect that prairie fires are raging in spite of efforts of the people to check them. In Ford county a tract twenty miles square was burned in two bonurs.

The jury in the case of Annie Holland, charged with manslaughter, yesterday, in the Chester county, Pennsylvania court, rendered a verdict of not guilty. The girl, who is of a respectable family, last March deserted her child on the roadside near Avondale. She admitted on the stand she did so, but it was with the hope that two men who were ap- proaching would find and care for it. She had that day beem turned out in a blinding snow and rain storm by her brother, and after walk- ing several miles was sick, tired and almost de- me! and could no longer carry the child. ‘The sympathies of the jury were aroused anda verdict oe aoqtittal was rendered.

The only ignorance that I impute to the Senator is an ignorance of what I said—a crass Egyptian ignorance of it. (Laughter.} Mr. Evarts—The man who is obj roay not know that he is objurgating, but the man who is objurgated knows it, [Laughter]. Mr. Evarte went on to ask Mr. Hoar whether the bri in the vicinity of Boston were solid, and he added ‘the men are solid. bat the bridges are not.” hter, Why, he asked, did they not close the railroad bridges there, and why did they not close them in Con- The country had hed ple of an open cou: anexawpleof an draw in Connecticut in the terrible Norwalk disaster. Had the people of Connecticut then closed that creek against schooners? Not they. But they had passed a law requiring every train to come to a balt at that bridge, in order to be sure that navigation should not be interrupted. He only referred to this because he did not want to be told thats lesson was to be tanght to New York by Connecticut on the question of solid or draw bridges. Was there nota railroad draw bridge, he asked, at the mouth of the Connecticut river on the shore line, and was there not one at Middletown? Every clause and every section ofthe amendment which the Senator from New York bad prepared, and which had been offered by the Senator from Maine, was in favor of railroad travel seross the bri and ail in the closest limitation of the rights of navigation, and yet they were told they were in a mire of ignor- ance and that the Senate could not make either land or water out of it unless another year was taken to examine it, MR. WASHBURN WITHDREW HIS MOTION to lay on the table. He said that he was not very familiar with the situation at Harlem river, but he confessed that his prejudices were rather against the contemplated improvement. While he was a member of the committee on commerce in the House be had examined the uestion aud had come to the conclusion that there was not much in those improvements. Mr. Blair suggested the importance of havi draws in the Harlem bridges so that in case of war a retreating defensive force might be able to get from one river to the other. ir. Plumb renewed the motion to lay the amendment on the table. He was not to express an opinion on the subject, but he believedsthatfit would be better to lot it go toa conference committee without further in- structions. Mr, Allison eer of thechair what the parliamentary effect of the motion would be. The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) said that if the motion prevailed it would eliminate the Harlem river item from the bill, and then the question would be before the conference com- mittee on agreeing to the Senate amendment striking out the item. Mr. Gorman said that as a member of the committee on commerce he had given the matter a good deal of attention, The commit- tee had recommended the striking out of the item with the view of having a further investi- gation of the matter in the conference com- mittee. He did not wish to be com- mitted to a provision that required solid bridges over the Harlem river or that required a suspension of operations un- til the legis! of New York had taken action. He should therefore vote for the mo- tion to lay on the table, believing that the con- ference committee conld consider all the vari- ous pecpesisens and report something that would.be exactly right and just to the Harlem river improvement and to the railroad com- panies and to the country at large. Mr. Plumb said that he = would regard it as a great national misfortune to have Harlem rive channel closed up by the erection of solid bridges. He withdrew his motion to lay on the table so that & vote might be taken on Mr. Hawley's amend- ment, MR. HAWLEY'S AMENDMENT REJECTED. The vote was taken and Mr. Hawley’s amend- ment (for solid bridges) was rejected—yeas, 22; nays, 26. Mr. Evarts and Mr. Hiscock voted aye, only, however, in the view of having the whole mat- ter remitted to a conference committee, NO ACTION. Mr. Frye's amendment for drawbridges was then, on motion of Mr. Hawley, laid on the ta- ble without a division, the effect of it all being that the whole subjec; will be within the con- trol of the conference committee. eo Various other amendments to the river and harbor bill were offered and discussed. MR. QUAY'S RESOLUTION. During the progress of this business Mr. Quay asked leave to offer a resolution ordering, first, that during the present session of Con- gress the Senate will not take ap for consider- ation any legisiative business other than the tariff bill, conference Sar general appro- priation bills, pension bills, bills relating to the public lands, to United States courts, to the postal service, to agriculture and forestry and to public buildings, and Senate or concurrent resolutions; second, that the consideration of sall other bills shall be postponed till next ses- soin; third, that a vote shall be taken on the tariff billand on amendments then pending without farther debate ou the 30th of August— the voting to commence at 2 o'clock p.m. and to continue on that and subsequent days (to the exclusion of all other business) un- til bill and pending smendments are dix osed of and notice is given thatan order will Be offered for adopttion in the Senate. The presiding officer (Mr. Manderson)—Is there objection to the request of the Senator cos Petiasivania Gas he we allowed se auten" duce the resolution now? Mr. Edmunds—I object. The presiding ofticer—Objection being made the resolution cannot be introduced. The consideration of the river and harbor bill was then proceeded with on amendments offered by individual Senators, MR, EDMUNDS OFFERED AN AMENDMENT toa provision giving to the owners of dock property abutting on tho east government pier on Grand river, Lake Erie, the right to load and unload coal ore and other freight over a certain portion of that pict. The amendment strikes out theconditions as to limita- tions and substitutes for them a requirement for payment of rent, a limitation pe rs pans to June 80, 1891,.and as a prohibition of the lease or use of any government pier there- after. He said that he offered the amendinent at the request of Mr. Puyne, who was absent, but partly on his own account, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Frye argued against the amendment and Mr. Frye illus- trated his cod, ee by the use of diagrains of the river and pier on Grand river and of the government pier at Chicago. ‘There was no reason (both Senators agreed) why such gov- ernment piers should not be open to commerce Mr. Edmunds modified the statement so as to make the use of euch piers free to all, but Mr. Frye argued that that would be of no avail aa the property on the shore end of the piers wag private property and its owners could control its use. In reply to that Mr. Edmunds suggested that the owners of vessels and the riparian owners could settle that matter between themselves. HOUSE, Mr. Snider (Minn. ) submitted the conference report on the bill to establish « national park atthe battlefield of Chickamauga and it was agreed to. Mr. Bingham (Pa.), from the committee on post offices and post roads, reported a resolu- tion calling on the Postmaster General for in- formation relative to alleged frauds practiced by A. J.

There was the proverbial calm that generally follows s storm at the District building today, save for a little excitement among the clerka over rumors that flew thick and fast regarding Col.

He said, however, to a Strap reporter, that he hoped to have o hearing’ before the House committee on the District of Columbia relative to the civil Commissioners bill! making his assis- tants subordinates to them, and then he would explain things that would probably put a different phase on mat- ters as they now stand.

Commissioner Douglass said today that never in all his dealings with men had he come across one whom he thought more than he did of him and that he would feei hie loss more than anyone knew. OFFICE SEEKERS ON DECK. Mr. Hine’s resignation brought a large influx of office seekers to the Dis- trict Building today, who want to whisper a slight reminder in Commissioner Douglass’ ear that they haven't been pro- vided for. doa 6 Carson was among the visitors, and when he left he bad a broad smile upon his countenance. “Everything will be fixed next week sure, Halford seys so,” that is what the Genial Pétry said as he passed down the stairs. NO BOARD MEETINGS, There is a question if the present board will er have another session, owing to the strained lations of Commissioners Hine and Robert. Board meetings were due last Wednesday and Friday, but no meeting was held on either ‘day. Every one looks for- warl now to Monday, for it is tho impression at the District building that when the two antagonists meet there will be a hyely exchange of words, WHAT EAST WASHINGTON WANTS. East Washington citizens are making a seri- ous move in the direction of inducing the President to appoint a citizen of that locality to the commissionership made vacant by Mr. Hine’s resignation. East Washington people ciaim that their section, notwithstanding the material on hand, has never been recognized on the board. ee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ani gerne Yxoek ar ik Maske. following are the opening losing prices of the Ne ‘Stock Market, as ried ial esis athens MN FEe re ee ~ wee Sr ozicee Rar sy 19 Fae teks aor 20%) 21 | We Uloig 11635) oe Washington Stock Kxchange.

LAVE CAPITOL TOPICS, The Population of the Country to be| The Lottery Bill in the House—Com- Known Tonight—About 64,000,000. The count of the population of the United States will practically be completed by the Census Office today. Ever since the returns began to come in, which was in July, a large force of clerks has been employed in making the count ‘Their labors have been supple- mented by the use of the electric counting machines and the results reached eo soon after the enumeration of the people was completed is regarded as evidence of the ex- cellence of the system employed and the efficiency of the clerks. Ten years “2 it is stated that the count was not com- P until March, 1881. Out of the 24,680 enumerative districts im the country the re- turns for 41,307 have been counted. The re- maining 1,300 odd districts have not as yet sent in the returns. ‘The population as now counted is 62,695,955, and when the remaining districts have been received the total population will be about 64,000,000, as estimated by Mr. Porter. THE ENUMERATORS’ ACCOUNTS. On Monday the entire force of the Census Office will be employed in examining the sc- counts of the enumerators so that this army of fifty thousand men can be paid off as rapidly as possible. No other work will be done by the prea “peng until these accounts have been ‘aking advantage of this lull in the import ant work of the office Mr. Porter will Jeave on Monday for a ten days’ vacation, which he will — with his family at Deer Park. Daring his absence, however, he will prepare his annual report, which will give an account of the operations of the Census Of- fice for the year ending June 30, 18%. In this report Mr. Porter will sketch the work of each of the twenty-three divisions of the office and will show what progress has been made. A REPORT OX RECOUNTS. He also intends to prepare a special report on recounts, in which he will give the details of the various cases that have come befors the office of cities and towns which demanded a re- count of the population, He will show that there were nearly fifty such cases and of this entire number it was found neces- sary to make a recount in only five instances, namely, Kansas City, one county in Oregon, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Helena, Mont. In the case of Kansas City only a partial recount was found necessary. In other instances the lists of names that were presented with the allegation that they represented the omissions made by the enumerators were compared with the schedules and corrections made where it was found necessary. In the great majority of cases where complaints were received, investi- gation, as Mr. Porter will show, demonstrated that they were without ground. iis conclusion, after reviewing the entire mubject of recounts.as illustrated by the experience of the present census, is that im pomecases out of ten the complaints grew out of jealousy of some rival city rather than in any dereliction of duty on the part of the census enumerators aud supervisors, SENATOR QUAY’S NEW MOVE. A Resolution Which He Did Not Suc- ceed in Getting Before the Senate. Senator Quay stirred ups breeze again to- day. While the consideration of amendments to the river and harbor appropria- tion bill was proceeding quietly he ssked that unanimous consent be given for the intro- duction of a resolution. The resolution was read and contained the old provisions that only certain bills should be considered this session; that other bills be postponed until the December, 1890, session, and that voting on the tariff bill commence on August 30. As soon as the resolution had been read Mr. Ed- munds was on his feet protesting against ite present introduction. As unanimous consent was necessary to introduce at the time, the resolution was withdrawn and is still in Mr. Quay’s hands. Mr. Quay evidently wishes his resolution to be introduced and laid on the table, so that it can be callod up at the first opportunity. He no doubt fears that the former resolution has fallen into a trance in the committee on rales, to which it was referred. Mr. Quay eaid this afternoon that it was hi purpose to have the resolution conmdered the Senate. The resolution will probably be adopted. This, of course, will interfere with the plans of the advocates of the federal election bill to secure another caucus. THE DIVIDED REPUBLICANS. The Friends of the Election Bill Will Not Recognize Quay in Their Councils. The republicans have for some time felt Mr. Quay to be # load upon their backs, which they must carry through the next campaign. Now the prevailing opinion among the majority in the House is that this isa good opportunity to get rid of him and relieve the party of embarrasement. They feel that he has already done them irre- parable damage. Those who have felt that there was an object in making a fight to get control of the next House feel now that there is no chance of success; they are dis couraged and ready to let the con- gressional campaign run as it may. All the talk of refusing to the tariff bill if the election bill is killed by the Senate, or of retaliating upon Mr. Quay by striking off duty from protected Penusylvania produets, wil come to nothing. Ali notions of that sort are exploded and abandoned as bad policy. They are determined merely to make Mr. Quay feel the weight of their condemnation by giving him no recognition in party counc: Meanwhile the southern republicans in th House are doing all they can to correct the course of the Senate. Embassadors from the lower house are haunting the cloak rooms and committee rooms of the Seuate. CALLING BACK THE ARSENTEES. The advocates of the election bill are send- ing telegrams to the absent Senators who are known to favor the passage of that bill, urging their immediate return. They hope to get enough of their friends here to give them a caucus majority, and if they succeed they will have another caucus called in three or four days, with the hope of defeating the Quay men. If they cansecure action by another caucus favorable to the election bill, they will devote their energies to an effort to secure the attendance of enough Senators who will follow the caucus to wake # quorum in the Senate, This will be « more difficult task than the other, but if it is successful as radical a course as bas yet been peepee. including a change of rules and ar- itrary exercise of power, will be followed to secure the passage of the election bill. It does not seem probable at this time that they will be able to fully carry out this plan. At appears that the object of laying aside the Quay resolution in the last caucus was to save those Senators who want to post- pone action on the election bill from being in the attitude of followers of the Pennsylvania Senator. They prefer to attain their object by means of their own devising. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. A Deficiency Estimate of 88,516 Sent to the Senate. The Secretary of the Treasury today trans- mitted to the Senate his estimate of the appro- priation required by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to complete the service of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, amounting to $8,586.06, This estimate is thought to be the last which it will be necessary to add to the deficiency bill for the District and they will be proposed m the shape of an amend- ment to the bill when it comes up for consideration in the Senate. The items are all small, being mainly judgment claims against the District, which Rave turned up since last deficiency estimate was seut in. JOHN PHILLIPS HANGED, The Murderer of Captain Overby Meets Death Calmly. At Boydton, in Mecklenburg county, Va, John Phillips, colored, was hanged yesterday for the brutal murder of Captain Robert C.
