) b THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUS WAR OF THE RACES, Rioting Continues the Spring Valley " Mines. at LAWLESS HOLD SWAY. Italians Have Ordered All Negroes to Leave the Vicinity. LIST OF THE DEAD INCREASING. It Is Thought the Bodles of Many Blacks Will Be Found In the Ravines. —The rioters and the lawless hold y in Spring Vai ley to-night. No arrests have been made. The mobs commenced operations to-day by stopping work at the various coal shaits, and during the entire day the streets have swarmed with men, and fresh depredations are expected at any time. All day both sides engaged in the bloody riots of yesterday have been their men and preparing for further ay of force. If the belligerent parties attempt to carry out the resolutions adopted by them to-day more bloodshed cannot be avoided. It has been impc lowing ai- ible to locate the fol- addition to those re- d yesterday, several of whom, t, are lying dead in the ravines surrounding Spring Valley on the west: Washington Anderson, Archibald Flem- amuel Johnson, Lewis Martin, Rob- ert Nelson and k Elston. Several of these are known to have been shot and badly injured, and two young ladies who came to town late this evening reported that they saw the prostrate form of a negro lying in the woods west of town. Marshal Hicks of Spring Valley says he is satisfied that one or more bodies will be found in the woods between Spring Valley and Marquette. A searching party is be- ing organized to start out from Seaton- ville, Mo. The whistles at the “various coal shafts were blown last night and this morning, giving the signal that work would be done in the mines to-day, and a large number of miners turned out with their dinner-pails, but were confronted on the highways lead- ing to the shafts by Italians armed with rifles and the varioussmall arms used in the riots yesterday. At a secret meeting of the Italians held at midnight last night the plan of stopping the men from working was arranged. A call for a mass-meeting of the miners was also issued, to be held at the lumber-yard adjoining the Rock Island depot at 10 o'clock this morning. Over 2000 men as- sembled at the Iumber-yard at the ap- pointed hour and the situation was freely discussed, nearly all of the speeches being in a foreign tongue. The coal company was roundly denounced and much inflam- matory language used. After an hour of general discussion a resolution wasadopted giving the remainder of the negroes until 5 o’cleck to-morrow evening in which to leave the city and to carry off their effects. Any effects left after that time will be de- clared confiscated and destroyed. A com- mittee was appointed to organize the Italians and see that the instructions were carried out. Another committee of five was appointed to wait upon Manager Dal- zell of the coal company, to demand the discharge of all negroes and to agree to employ no new ones for the present. The committee immediately called at Dalzell’s office and stated its grievances. Mr. Dalzell in reply said -he had nothing on the subject to state and that it was a matter he would not discuss. The com- mittee retired with no assurances. During the remainder of the day the streets were crowded with men discussing the situation. Another meeting of the miners is called for a late hour to-night, at which time it is the general impression the strike will be ordered to continue until the demands made are granted. The situ- ation is serious. THO STEANERS BURED Disastrous ‘Conflagration on the Cincinnati River- Front. One Fitétan Driven Insane by the Heat While Battling With the Blaze. CINCINNATI, Onro, Aug. 5—The levee was visited by a $200,000 fire this afternoon, and one-half of the Laidley river steam- boat line was destroyed within two hours. At 1:30 o’clock a pile of 1000 bales of hay stored in the west end of the Cincinnati and Memphis wharf suddenly burst into flames, and in ten minutes the fire had communicated to the Louisville mail line wharf, just above. To this wharf were tied the steamers Big Sandy, Carrollton and H. K. Bedford, the first two of which were entirely consumed, their black hulls sinking into the murky waters at 4 o’clock. An vp-river wind was blowing so stiffly that, although the Carroliton and Big Sandy were cut loose, they refused to float down the stream and ‘remained against the wharf. The Congo. Levi J. ‘Workum, Clara Cavot and other boats were aprea]ed to for aid, but only the tow- boat Bellevue volunteered and ‘towed the Bedford to a place of safety. The loss on the Memphis wharf boat is {flaced at $20,000; on the Louisville wharf oat, $12,000; on the Big Sandy, $60,000, and on the Carrollton, $40,000. All the steamers and wharves were the property of Commodore Laidley, president of the ‘White Collar line, and were insyred for about two-thirds their value, The excitement during the fire was in- tense, and several employes received burns. The following were injured: Su- perintendent Wililam R. Shaw, burned about hands, arms and neck; Jack Crow- ley, burned about hands, arms and neck; Fireman William Kibby, back hurt; deaf and dumb fireman on the Bi; Sandy, name unknown, hands and head burned.” Fire- man Bennett of engine company 4 was, . pvercome by heat and driven insane. ‘Sev- eral children on the boats were rescued at #oine peril, but with no fatality. ST L NO ALARM IN HAWAIL BStories of Filibustering Expeditions Are ‘ Disbelieved. _CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 5.—Arthur Wilder, the young native Hawaiian, who enjoyed the confidence of President Dole during the life of the Provisiona: government of the island, does not think there is any- thing in the story published by a San Francisco paper that a scheme had been hatched there for the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani to the throne. “Our Government is strong enough '3 wipe out any party of exiles or others, said Mr. Wilder. *T beard a greatdeal of talk in San Franciseo about filibustering expeditions, but nobody in Hawaii is alarmed. In Sen Francisco I saw Velney Ashford, who is the reported leader of the exiles. According to these men in San Francisco they are relying upon England for help, as most of them have sent their claims for damages to the British Govern- ment. A revenue boat is cruising around Honolulu all the time for the purpose of keeping out these exiles.” - SHIPPED A BOX TO HOLMES. Quinlan Will Be Asked to Tell What It Contained. CHICAGO, I, Aug. 5.—Detective Geyer of Philadelphia has rendered the Chicago police material assistance in t'he Holmes case. He has written to Chief Badenoch requesting him to get from Quinlan some information about a heavy wooden box, 434 feet long, 24 feet wide and 134 feet deep, shipped by Quinlan to Holmes from Chicago to Tilton, N. H., November, 1893. Geyer wants to know the contents of the box, and suspects it contained the remains of some of Holmes’ victims, The police are at work on in- formation given them by Quinlan and his wife last Friday, but announced to-day that they had nothing to give for pub- lication. The work of digging at the Holmes Castle has vpractically been abandoned. Men spent the morning leveling the dirt in the basement. The officers made fur- ther examinations of the lettersand papers found in Mrs. Quinlan’s rooms, but none with evidence was brought ont. ANDERSON, Ixn., Aug. 5—Peter Cig- rand, father of Emeline Cigrand, supposed to be one of Holmes’ victims, received the following to-day, which is supposed to add another chapter to the Holmes mystery: PHILADELPHIA, July 31. To Mr. Peter Cigrdnd, Anderson, Ind. : Is the inclosed 'phologrugh your daughter’s? Did your daughter Phyllis have her picture taken with Emeline on leit hand side of small pic- ture? If so, what date was picture taken and where? Please rewirn picture and answer to yours truly, O. LAFORREST PERRY, 184 Walnut street, Philadelphia. The picture was taken in Lafayette on the 4th of July, 1892, and was genuine. The Cigrands are not able to tell where he got hold of the picture, as there were but two of them printed, and one of them is held by them and the other by the missing irl. The letter was written on a letter- head of the Fidelity Mutual Insurance Company, but Perry’s name does not ap- pear on it. It is thonght that he has got some trace of her, and it is also feared that she is in an asylum of some kind. VLT BIOLY BEATEN Decisive Victory for the Syn- dicate Sloop in the Final Run. The Defender Easlly Leaves Its Competitors In a Thirty-Seven Mile Race. NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 5.—In the final run of the cruise of the New York Yacht Club, a 37-mile beat to windward from Vineyard Haven to Newport, the Defender started last and finished first. The new aluminum and bronze boat beat the Vigi- lant 9 min. and 9 sec.,and was about twenty minutesahead of the Jubilee. Thiys was quite an improvement upon the 5 min. and 23 sec. had to her credit over the Vigilant on the run to Vineyard Haven on Saturday. When the boats are measured and the time allowance calculated it will undoubtedly be found that the Defender won to-day by beating to windward, even if she loses tbe Saturday race by a small margin, The wind to-day was what must be called a Defender breeze. It was never less than ten knots nor more than twelve, and there was a smooth sea—just the weather the new boat is at her best in. General Price’s Jubilee raced with a work- ing topsail'alofs, while the other big sloops used club topsails. The weak topmast may have been responsible for this, but the Boston boat was plainly no match for her competitors. One of the best opportunities that has been yet afforded for testing the winward qualities of the Defender was provided at the beginning of to-day's race. The Vigi- lant obtained the best position at the start, and was to windward of the syndi- cate boat. Captain Hoff did not like tak- ing the wind after it had left the Vigilant’s sails, and made a couple of short tacks to get away from the Vigilant. Captain Barr tried to keep between the Defender and the wind, and went about whenever the Defender did. The Defender was quicker in stays, and got little the better of the short tacks; but Captain Haff, find- ing his antagonist could not be shaken off that way, held his conrse for seven miles, likewise outfooting the Vigilant by a good half-mile in that distance, and easily crossed her bow to windward. From that time on the race was a proces- sion, with the Defender, as usual, passing all the big schooners and little sloops which were started ahead of her, and lead- ing tne fleet into the harbor. The Emerald made the best run of any of the schooners and won in her class. The other winners were: Constellation, Ariel, Amorits and Loyal. The run to-day concludes the cruise of the club. The special price for the sloop making the largest number of best runs during the cruise was won by the Defender. The prize for schooners was a tie between Amorita and Constellation. A Ui BREVITIES FROM THE WIRE. Condensed From Special Telegrams to “The Call.” Mrs. Sarah Parker of London, England, the famous Oriental leCturer of harem life, is dead. The Democratic primary at Winchester, Ky., nominated J. B. McCreary for United States Benator by 498 majority over Joe Blackburn. In the opening contests at the Cowes regatta the Britannia easily won from the Hester, its only competitor. The Niagara won the race of the twenty-raters, The Citizens’ State Bank at South Sioux City, Neb., has failed. The liabilities are $30,000. The bank is said to have had $10,000 of Dakota County funds on deposit. The National convention of Trades Assembly No. 231, Knights of Labor, has begun in Chicago. The assembly is composed of local assemblies of garment workers from all over the country. The London Daily News has a letter from Ar- menia which represents Turkish cruelty as un- abated. The position of affairs, the letter says, has never been 50 grave, and the Armenians bave nearly reached the ultimate limit of de- spair. Official dispatches from Cuba received at Madrid confirm the rumor of the landing of a band of fifty filibusters near Santa Clara. Ac- cording to these dispatches many persons have recently disappeared from Sancti Spiritu, and it is belleved. have joined the insurgents. An earthquake shock lasting nearly a minute was felt in Gloversville, N. Y.,and the alarm caused among nervous people by the selsmic shock was heightened by a thuder storm, which immediately followed it. Several per- tons were seriously injured in the storm, and considerable damage was done to property. By an explosion of gasoline at Baltimore, Amelia Schaffte, aged 8 years, and her little sister Tottie, aged 2, were fatally burned. The mother, Mrs. Annie Schaffte, aged 33, was badly burned, but will probably recover, as will six-year-old Nellie, who was burned around the arms and legs. FORCE MAY BE USED, Omaha’s New Police Board Determined to Triumph. FEELING RUNNING HIGH. Possible Appointees Ready to Bring on an Immediate " Crisis. ANSWER TO THE INJUNCTION, The Old Commissioners Charged With Utilizing the Bluecoats to Hold Office. OMAHA, Nepr., Aug. 5—“Will Judge Hopewell define the status of the new Police Commission to-morrow, or will he dissolve his restraining order?” is the all- important question in Omabha to-night. Should the court take the latter course and decline to pass upon the validity of the new law, there is little question that the supporters of the new board would use force in taking possession of the depart- ment. Feeling runs high. No less than 100 men expect places under the new board, and they are indignant that the matter should have been allowed to get into the courts before the new commission assumed power. Attorneys for the latter filed their answer in the injunction case to-day. It recites: That in the year 1895, and before the new law referred to went into effect, D. Clem Deavér and Charles i. Brown were, at the solicitation of Edward Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, appointed by Silas A. Holcomb, Governor of Nebraska, as members of the Fire and Police Board of the city of'Omaha; that at the time it was agreed and understood that the said Brown and Deaver, in the interests of Edward Rosewater and in his behalf, in violation of law and under the pretext that the law as passed in 1895 was unconstitutional, should hold said offices, and defendants show that, in pursuance to such design, the said plaintiffs, George P. Bemis, Charles H. Brown and D. Deaver, procured the discharge of the police force and substituted others therefor, and are now in force and arms holding the same. That to further prosecute said plaintiff George P. Bemis procured a pretended injunc- tion to be issued, pretending to restrain the City Council from approving defendants’ bonds, but said injunction was and is illegal and void and of no effect, and was procured with a fraudulent purpose and design of pre- venting these defendants from having legal status herein and in pursuance of the afore- said corrupt agreement, as defendants are in- formed and believe. That the said plaintiffs, said suit having been brought and served too late to prevent the ap- proval of seid bonds and the qualification of defendants, have now commenced this suit to further delay the defenda:ts herein in getting the control of such offices and police force, and to hinder and delay them in the discharge of their duty, and that the same is brought in bad faith and without justification. Defendants further say that no proceedings have been commenced by the said plaintiffs to test the rights of these defendants under the said law by quo warranto, and that said plain- tiffs have not commenced the same; and that the allegations in the said plaintiffs’ petition that said plaintiffs are about to, or will, com- mence said proceedings and pursue them dili- gently, are without foundation and are not made in good faith, but are made for the pur- pose of deception and so that said plaintiffs may pretend to be acting in good faith in that regard. The answer also refers to the honorable action of ex-Commissioners Smith and Strickler in resigning their positions in the old board because of the fact that they recognized the existence and legality of the new. The answer concludes: 1f any dual Board of Commissioners exists, it will be because said plaintiffs, in violation of law and in pursuance of a long before precon- ceived plan, end in pursuance of the agree- ment to set aside the law and to violate the same, will continue through the police force as aforesaid wrongfully organized, controlled and created to exercise the funectiens pertain. ing to said board. And the defendants maintain that Judge Hopewell is said to'have expressed himself so as to lead people to believe he will dis- miss the contempt case to-morrow. This Being out of the way, the only thing to be decided is the legality of the new board, and no matter how he decides this ques- tion his decision will be appealed from this to the Supreme Court, where the real battle will occur. To-day application was made before the clerk of the Supreme Court by Mayor George P. Bemis for the hold-over board, and by Attorney-General Churchill for the new board for permission to file quo warranto papers in the case. The clerk refused such permission, and re- ferred the parties to Justice Norvall, who stated that court was not now holding, and that the cases would have to be docketed in regular order. That means that the Supreme Court will not take up the cases until Ootober or November, and greatly complicates matters in this city. UKIAH SPORTING. An Expert’s Idea of the Dry Fly Cast—Returning Campers. UKIAH, CAL,, Aug.1,—The man who has no venison in this vicinity thismonth either lacks the incentive to go outand getitor hasno friends to send him a piece, The law preventing the sale of it and also the sale of hides is doing incalculable good toward the preservation of the noblestof game ani- mals California can boast of. The Sportsmen’s Club of Ukiah keeps a watchful eye for viola- tions of thelaw, and while there are yet vandals who would wantonly kill more than they need, and does and fawns, still the feer of punish- ment, which would be swift aud vigorous, has reduced this heartless butchery toa minimum. As to fishing, the smaller streams are dry, but good sport is reported in the larger streams, where the water forms deep dark pools and rifties, In these deep pools and in shady places, ‘where the willows overhang the deepest waters and the sandy h stretches away on the other side, the dry fly cast lures to the surface many a gamy hero that looks with scorn on the angle worm and still fisherman and that has waited the whole season through’ for the fellow who understands his business. “If you have never tried a dry fly cast,” says our expert angler, H. F. Eastman, “you have failed to enjoy the greatest sport that can be had with the fly rod. The finest and lightest 1ine of drawn gut of silk, with a delicate midge fly on a No. 16 hook, dee‘f dark pools such as are found on Russian and Eel rivers, where the largest and finest fish are in hiding, and youn are ready for sport that discounts all others. “Secure & tion pretty well out of sight of the pool, where the motion of your arm will not attract the wary game. Extend your cast- ing-line little by little as you makeyour first casts, being careful not to let your fly touch the water, elongating your line the while uyntil you can dwr your midget in the most tempting part of the pool, where it may rest for an instant. A jerk,a splash and a beauty has struck at the tempting bait, and he has bowed his supple back, only to take a run, it he is well hooked, until your line whistles through the airlike a bullet. Now the trial begins between trout and anglcr,and a fish often large enough for breakiast for four lies gasping for air as he takes it in his native element—in your basket. if large enough.’* Eastman’s record is thirty-five pounds of trout taken with this style of fishing, all over twelve inches, In one evening. .

Aug. 5—General and Mrs. Flagler, parents of Miss Eliza- beth Flagler, who shot and killed Ernest Green last week, returned home this aiter- noon. General Flagler did not report at the War Department and he is still on leave of absence and his movements are not certainly known. It is supposed that he will take his daughter away with him for a time. M. J. Dorsey, a member of the Grand Jury, said to-day: “I was, when on the firmly of the belief that Miss Flagler shoul be brought before the Grand Jury, and that that body should consider the evi- dence and decide whether Miss Flagler should be prosecuted.” jfir_v, and still amd — “THEIR HEARTS FEEL GOOD.” Message of the Bannocks to the White Father at Washington.

They haye had & big council, and requested me to telegraph you that their hearts felt good. They had not harmed a white man end would at cnce start haying, leaving their grievances to the justice of the white man.” DIE A PAINLESS DEATH, Mr. Edison on the New York Method of Executing Murderers. Characterizes as Nonsense the Statements Many Are Killed by the Scalpel. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 5—Several causes have recently combined to create doubts in the minds of a few intelligent people about the swiftness and certainty with which the death sentence has been executed in New York State since electric- ity has been adopted by law as the agent. Occasionally among the hasty and in- adequate reports of accidents to linemen there is an account of a seemingly wonder- ful escape fram death. Then, too, state- ments which cannot be verified, but whieh, on the contrary, have been sqmarely denied, sometimes creep into print, sug- gesting that at one or two executionsdeath was caused, not by the means which the law prescribes, but by drugs or the surgeon’s knife. Electrician Edison was seen yesterday at his charming home in Liewellyn Park, West Orange, N. J. To halfa dezen ques- tions about electrical execations he gave characteristically laconic but explicit an- swers. He spoke without hesitation or evasion and with the earnestness of con- viction. “What do you think, Mr. Edison,” asked the reporter, ‘‘about these stories of the resuscitation of criminals after elec:rici:z has been employed to inflict the deal penalty 2’ *‘Nonsense,”” was the emphatic reply. “Do you consider this method of execu- tion as™*sure death ?** *‘ Absolutely.” “Is it painful ?” “No; the action of the electricity is too rapid for a man to be conscious of it. In this respect its work is instantaneous, although it is customary to prolong the administra- tion of the current for several seconds. The contacts between the terminals of the wire or electrodesand the human body should be good to insure the passage of the current through the latter. About thirty men are killed every yvear, and these poor fellows ususlly touch the fatal wire onlg for a second, are partially protected perhaps by their clothing, and often receive a current at a lower voltage than is employed for executions. Yet, even with such poor contacts, see the re- sult. In carrying out the death sentence pains are taken not only to bave a suitable current and to gmlongi!s administration, but also to see the contacts are thoroughly made. Great attention is paid to this vital point.” R A T BUDD AT MERCED. He BSuffered Several Severe Attacks of Iliness Recently. MERCED, Car., Aug. 5.—Governor Budd and his private secretary, E. D. McCabe, have been here since Saturday last. They have been here on legal busi- ness pertaining to an unsettled estate that has been pending in the Superior Court for four years. The Governor has had several attacks of illness since his arrival, and Sunday had to call in a physician. He complained of intense pains in the back of his head at the base of the brain. The Governor will leave here to-morrow morning, via Oakdale, and go to the Fol- som Prison. —me Urged to Demand Gold.

How a Talkative Woman Was Quieted. The story told about the doctor who got a talkative lady to put out her-tongue and who, after she "had protested that he had been writing all the time and had not looked at her tongue at all, replied that he had merely made the request in order to get a moment of quiet to write a preserip- tion in, called out a companion story from adentist. “One day,” he said, “a young lady came to me for some dentistry. Her mother came with her, and remainea sitting on a sofa in the room. As she sat there she talked so incessantly that I be- came nervous, and hardly knew whether I was conducting the e&entlon properly. Presently the woman to talk about her own teeth, and to complain of a certain vague distress that she often felt in them, I saw that my opportunity bad come, I called the lady to the chair, looked at her teeth and then applied a liberal brushing of iodine. ‘Now,’ said I, ‘if you will go back to the sofa and keep your mouth closed so as to exclude the air from your gums I think vou will have no further trouble.’ From that time on she sat with her hands over her mouth and did not, it is needless to say, disturb me any more.”’—Boston Transcript. 6, 18Y5.

Miller, the manager of the Chicago branch of the Brunswick-Balke Billiard Company, is now on his way to Paris with the avowed mission of negotiating if possible with the French billiard stars of the first rank to take part in an international billiard tour- ney in New York, Chicago, Boston and Cincinnati during the coming winter. Miller said exp[icil‘z that he was going to have a serious talk about international billiards with the Paris representatives of the B. B. C. C. Professional billiards is at a_standstill in Paris and New York, and itis absolutely essential that something or other shoula be done to give billiard-lovers some kind of a treat. That is just what Miller is go- ing to try to do if the players will let him. It has been frequently asserted that inter- national tourneys with French talent pitted against the American skill at cushion car- roms and balk line would draw a paying amount of public patronage in this eity, Chicago and Boston, and if it turn out, upon a rough investigation, that this is iea]ly 80, then the French stars will be ere. Most of them are in 8pain now, trying to revive the success of the academy game, which the French police knocked the life out of because betting was allowed in the Paris cafes on the matches. Miller says the manufacturers’ money is on tap if the billiardigts will meet them in an amicable spirit ofiriendl_v co-operation. INTERNATIONAL CHESS.

BRIEF CAREER OF CRIME, They Had Killed Two Officers While Resisting Arrest for Horse~ Stealing. SALT LAKE, UTAn, Aug. 5—The horse- thieves and murderers, Patsy Coughlin and Fred George, are behind the bars in the Salt Lake County Jail. They were captured this morning in Willow von, near Grantsville, by Sheriff McKellar, assisted by a dozen determined farmers. For eieven days the two boys have success- fully dodged the Sheriff and posses of a half dozen countiesin Utah and Wyoming, and the Salt Lake police force fired at them from an ambush last Thursday, but they escaped. The series of crimes which led to the now celebrated chase began on the 25th, when some horses were stolen in Salt Lake, and the two boys escaped through the canyons to Park City, where they had their first battle. From there they went over to Wyoming, and when pursued by Officers Dawes and Sagg of Evanston turned and shot both dead, Then the chase began in earnest. The boys decided to return to Salt Lake, where they had friends. The escape from the police on the Farmington road and the subsequent one-sided battle in City Creek are fresh in the public mind. Since then the boys have been at Mill Creek, south of here, where they stole two more horses, on which to escaped to Nevada and thence to Ban Francisco. With this object in view, they started West, but otficers were steadily on their track, and whben it was known they had passed Garfield Beach the Toole County officers were notified and sur- rounded the canyon on all sides. The boys were tired out, and slept soundly while the officers gathered closely around them. The sun broke, and still the starving and broken-down bandits slept on in the canyon. They awoke at last, only to find that they had taken a nap two hours too long and were com- pletely surrounded. They broke their guns and surrendered, Coughlin stating: “This is the first time I have had an op- portunity to surrender like a man.” California Fruit in the Fast. SAN DIEGO, CaL, Aug. 5—C. W.
