OuTiiuirc, O. T., June 18.—Thero Is (feat excitement in this city occasioned by two criminal assaults by negroes Sunday upon white women. A negro boy named Holley assaulted Mrs. Charles Moore, the wife of a freighh'r, who was away from home at the time, lie was arrested and a mob surrounded the jail threatening to lynch him. The negroes of the town claimed that Holley was innocent, although he had confessed his guilt to the sheriff, and a race war seemed imminent. There was much angry talk, ".ludge" Perkins, a negro lawer, being spokesman for the colored men. During the excitement he said: "Let the whites harm that man and the town will bo in ashes before morning." The sheriff gave out that he had smuggled the prisoner from the jail and taken him to Wichita, Kan., for safe keeping.
The .second .outrage was that made upon the wife of James tienken, who is the engineer of the eleetrie plant, by an unknown negro, who escaped. A posse headed by Genkcn started on the trail.
Negro Itulo list Knd.
A company to patrol the city has boon organized and is under the leadership of good men. Reeves Bros.' place on Second street was the rendezvous of the committee, and the place was crowded with fathers, and husbands, republicans and democrats alike, who take the stand that the negro reign is at an eud in Oklahoma. The city is actually alive with armed men who are ready to fight to the death if necessary. E. P. McCabc, the negro ex-auditor of Kansas, is held responsible for the crimes being committed and violence is feared. He cannot be found and is evidently in no way desirous of showing up.
One Nopro Shot to Meatli.
Midnight—Information has just reached the sheriff that the negro who assaulted Mrs. (lenken was overtaken by the posse at 3 o'clock 0 miles south of town and shot to death. This news greatly intensified the excitement and the negroes are threatening violence. The officers have been aware of the lynching for some time and began the disarmament of the negroes before it became generally known, anticipating that the news would drive the negroes into a frenzy. As many as fifty old shotguns and rides have been taken, also a number of' small firearms. The guns are now stacked at police headquarters. A shotgun a squirrel riile and a scythe blade are stacked together. These three weapons were taken from three colored men who have just arrived from Toliee, 17 milos distant. Col. H. P. Clark, commander of the territorial mitltio, is in the city. He reported to Acting Governor Martin for duty, but the situation does not now seem serious enough to warrant the calling out of troops. Gangs of excited people are on the street corners. All crowds of negroes are being ordered to disperse. The police and deputies are kept busy moving negroes.
Wanted to Hang an Kdltor. 3 a. m.—At 1 o'clock this morning Police Officers Lester and Kitchen, with one or two nervy citizens, ordered a lot of negroes who wore stationed on the corfler next to the jail to move on. Several offered resistance, but the officers used their clubs effectually. Several decent negroes jumped on dry goods boxes and made speeches to the exoitcd crowds. .Officers Rhinohardt, Kitchen, Kelly and tlehke were there. Two or three shots were fired. A big, burly negro named Perkins yelled: "Ilang the editor of the News!" The police are still trying to drive the negroes from the streets.
Another Mub ut the Jul!.
3. n. in.—A large number of men are parading the streets. There is no telling what will happen. The sheriff and police are resolute. The excitement is intense. Negroes are congregated on every corner and it soeras that trouble will occur at the jail.
Another mob has assembled at the jail. The sheriff and chief of police are vigilant.
DYING AT AN AWFUL RATE.
UeatliH Among Perilun Natives from Cholera ICenoIi 250 Day. LONDON, June 13.—A dispatch from Meshed, Persia, says that all the Europe an is in that city have escaped safely from the cholera, which is ravaging Meshed and the province of Kliorassan, in which the city 1B located. Among tlio natives the deaths have reached 250 daily. The disease is of a most violent type. Persons seemingly perfectly well are seized with the disease while passing along the streets to their usual business and in a few hours are doad. No panic prevails, for the people look upon the epidemic as a divine visitation. The story that the dead are cremated and that often those who are suffering with the disease are thrown while alive upon the pyres is untrue. The dead arc buried in the usual manner within the precincts of the town.

CAN'T TOUCH THE TRUSTS,
Judge* Say Congress and the Legislatures Must Keep Hands Oil". CINCINNATI, June 13.—Mr. 11. L. Greene, of the whisky trust, was before .ludces Jackson and Ricks, of the United States circuit court, Saturday to answer for refusing to give bond to appear in lioston to respond to an indictment found against him in that city for violation of the United States antitrust law. The court claimed, on reading the indictments,' that none of the counts constituted a violation of any law of the United States. Mr. Greene was accordingly released from the requirement to give a bond. Upon the return of District Attorney John W. llerron to the city the government will ask for bench warrants to remove all the indicted persons to Boston. This will be resisted if necessary by habeas corpus proceedings. Judge Jackson gave as the grounds of his decision. or rather in a general review of the anti-trust law, an opinion that, aside from the futility of the indictment of Mr. Greene, the application of the law in this case would be to apply an ex post facto law inasmuch as the trust was formed before the law was enacted. The trust seemed, moreover, to him not to be a monopoly, for it did not prevent other similar trusts being formed, and congress had no right to forbid business combinations for mutual profit. The judge held, in effect, that neither congress nor the states lias any power to regulate trusts.

THE THIKVKS ESCAPE.
SAN FHANCISOO, Juue 1.3.—-The boldest robbery ever committed in this vicinity occurred Saturday morning across the bay in Oakland, when two men in a crowded car were robbed of 81(1,000 in coin, which they were taking to the Judson iron works to pay off 400 workmen.
The coin was in tho possession of Secretary Gilson and Bookkeeper Mortensen, of the company, who started with it from San Francisco on the 11 o'clock boat. They occupied a seat in a car on the Herkelcy train next to the baggage car. As the train showed up at street two men entered the front door, walked down the aisle, stopped suddenly before Gilson and Mortensen, and presented pistols und demanded the money bags. "Hold up your hands." was the order, and Gilson and Mortensen had no option but to obey. "Now hand over that money," eontinued the leader.
Gilson surrendered the bag of silver (there were two, one containing SJ'.OOO in silver and the other £15.000 in go d), dropping the other between tlie seats, hoping to elude the vigilance of the robber. "None of that," said the robber, cocking his revolver, "Hand over the other bag," and Gilson passed it »p.
Sur|trlti«d by the Kobbern.
Gilson and Mortensen had thrown over a seat In front of tliein and laid the sacks containing the coin on a sent beforo them. The two men occupied one- seat and the coin was perhaps 3 feet from them. Gilson was reading a newspaper and was taken-coiupletely by surprise! Simultaneously with the demand for the coin the traiu started, and the two robbers backed out of the oar with the money, covering Gilson and Mortensen with their pistols as they escaped.
I'andcmonlum Immediately reigned in the car. Everyone seemed to lose his head. It was so sudden that the thirty or more passengers lu the car had hardly realized what had taken place before the robbers were in possession of the money and were making their escape. Any attempt to recover the money at the time would have been fatal for the robbers were shrewd enough to keep the passengers covered with their revolvers until they reached the car door.
Gilson wont out on the platform and emptied his revolver at the lleeing robbers. One passenger said that the smaller of the robbers staggered after the firing, but this part of the story was unconfirmed. The robbers had provided themselves with a horse and buggy with which to escape, and they drove rapidly away. ltuwurd Offered.
The police thluk they have a clew to the robbers, and have offered a reward of SI,000 for the capture of J. G. Smith and Joe Dunn, formerly employes of the Judson company, but who left somo time ago of their own accord. The policc refuse to give their reason? for suspecting these men. The robbers have been traced to the foothills of Mount Diablo, 15 miles from Oakland, where it is thought they burled the money, and one remained there to guard the treasure while the others returned to Uakland with the horse and buggy. Auother man suspected is a discharged employe named
Uirard, who is also known as l''rank Queen, au ex-criminal.
