MINERS HAVE A RIOT BLOODSHED between union AND NONUNION MEN. Seven Negroes Are Shot Down at Carterville, Ills. — Charged That the Colored Men Fired the First Shot. Militia Now In Charge of the Town. Carterville, Ills., Sept. 18. —Carterville was the scene of a bloody riot yesterday in which seven negroes were killed. Trouble has been hovering ever since the militia was recalled by Governor Tanner a week ago. The white miners of this place have refused to allow the negro miners to oome into town, always meeting them and ordering them back. Yesterday, however, 13 negroes, all armed, inarched into ; town, going to the Illinois Centra depot where they exchanged a few words with the white miners there, when the negroes pulled their pistols and opened fire on the whites who at once returns the fire when a running fight was kepi up. The negroes scati tered, but were closely followed by the whites, running up the main street, while the remainder took down the railroad track. Here the execution was done, all who went through town escaping. After the fight was over seven dead bodies /ere picked up. They were taken to the city hall and an inquest aeld. Trouble has existed here off and on for over a year, but d fatalities occurred until June 30, whei a passenger train on the Illinois Centra railroad was fired into and one negr woman killed. These negroes were on their way to the mines, having come from Pana. A short time afterward i pitched battle ensued between the union I and nonunion forces, during which time the dwellings occupied by the negroes were burned. Several arrests were made and the parties are in jail at Marion awaiting trial on the charge of ' murder. The mayor has taken every precaution to prevent further trouble and none will occur unless the negroes make an attack. Superintendent Donely of the Brush ■ mines, where the negroes reside, reports that the negroes are worked up into a frensy and, that while he is doing all in his power to hold them in check, he is afraid that he cannot do so much longer. The killed: Rgv. O. T. J. Floyd. Huss Brad by. Jobs Black. Hbsby Branum. Sim Cummins. Two unknown. Company C, Fourth regiment L N. j G., arrived here late last evening and | will endeavor to preserve order. Forty j miners from the Herrin mines left that I place for this city armed with KragJorgensen rifles and are determined to assist the white miners if their services are required. To Be Withdrawn From Court of Revision. London, Sept. 16. —M. De Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of The Times, says: Captain Dreyfus will shortly withdraw his appeal for a revision of the Rennes trial, which will leave the ground clear for the government to take immediate steps to pardon him. The pardon will not annul the civil I and military consequences of the ver- ' diet and he will therefore no longer belong to the army. ‘•There is nothing, however, to prevent him from applying to the court of cassation to quash the Rennes trial ! whenever the new fact required by law j is produced. When liberated he will settle in the south of France, as the members of his family do not wish to expose him to such demonstrations of sympathy abroad as might be used against him by his adversaries at home.” FRENCH FREEMASONS Declare the Anti-Semite Movement Criminal and Odious. Paris, Sept 19. —The French Free j Masons, composing the assembly of 1899, I have adopted a resolution in the name | of the Order of the Grand Orient, de- i claring the anti-Semite movement crim- | inal and odious and pleading with the ! French government for support against “clerical, militarism, imperial and monarchist conspiracies.” Sending Home Soldiers. Washington, Sept. 18.—The war de- i partment has received the following cablegram from General Otis at Manila: ‘‘Nevada cavalry booked for the I transport Ohio, which was detained be- ! cause sent for wrecked Morgan City troops; will probably leave Manila 24th inst. lowas leave on Wednesday when the Tennessees arrive from south, and will sail as soon as papers are completed.

WOULD SETWISE Rev. Dr. Nevin's Views on Federation of the Sister Kepub!!ca.Z=7 • City of Mexico, Sept, 19.—Rev. Dr. | Nevin of St. Paul’s Episcopal church at Rome, Italy, who has gone north to assist Bishop Potter at the marriage of i Miss Julia Dent Grant and Prince Cantacuzene at Newport, has been giving much study to the question of the future of the South American republics, with whose clergy he has become well aoi quainted at Rome when the higher ecclesiastics have gone there to visit the pope. In the course of an interview ■ here on the eve of his departure, he said if the whole of South America could be brought into a federation like the United States it would be a movement which, instead of being antagonistic to the United States, should be one of the greatest advantages to her. The South American states, divided among themselves, as they now are, are not a factor of any great force in the world, and eir alliance would be of no particular account to anybody, but if they could be brought into a great republican union an alliance then of the United States of America, of the United States of Mexico, and of the United States of South America would be able to hold its own against the whole world, j No serious thinkers of the United States would wish otherwise than that the states of the South American republics I should combine, said Dr. Nevin. It I would in every way insure closer aud more friendly relations with the North Americans. During the celebration of the national festivities Ambassador Powell Clayton was received with the same honors as the president of the republic. in token of his rank, and being in attendance on the opening session of congress, he was received with the same salutes as the president, MINNESOTA FLOUR KING Charles A. FtiteOury Basses Away at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Sept. 18. —Charles A. Pillsbury, the well known miller, died in this city last evening. On account of poor health Mr. Pillsbury went to Europe Dec. 1, 1898 and returned the middle of June. While abroad he consulted with eminent physicians in London, Paris, Vienna and Barlin. When he landed in New York he was of the opinion that his health was much improved, but before leaving the metropolis he consulted other doctors, and since returning he has been a patient of Dr. Porter of New York and Dr. W. A. Jones of this city. The physicians agreed that he was suffering from heart trouble caused by an enlargement of the stomach, which in turn was due to overwork and insufficient physicial exercise. After reaching home he gradually improved, aud seemed to be in a fairway to totally recover his health. A week ago he took a trip to southern Minnesotta, but on his return he suffered from nausea. During Saturday night he complained of great pain and physicians were summoned. They remained with him from then until a short time before his death. He was conscious to the end and talked to his wife and friends who were in the room. REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY One of the Cuban War Heroes Re- ! ceives an Assignment. Washington, Sept. 16. — Some time ago Admiral Schley applied to the navy department for sea service. At present he is head ot the retiring board. The navy department has now granted the request and has notified him to hold himself in readiness to command the South Atlantic station. The department is about to take steps to make the command commensurate with his rank by increasing considerably the number of vessels on the station. The Cincinnati probably will go there. The De- i troit is already on her way to join, and • the Marblehead is likely to be attached. Altogether there will be five or six ships on the station when the quota is filled. It is said at the department that with a threatened war in South Africa, which is part of the station, and the disturbed condition in South and Central America, the South Atlantic command is likely to become an important one in the near future. BRIDGE WAS ON FIRE Three Men Cremated In a Freight Wreck In Nebraska. Nebraska City, Neb., Sept. 16.—A freight train on the Missouri Pacific yesterday ran on a bridge which was on fire, eight miles south of this city.

She will proceed to the navyyard, probably todav, where her hull will be scraped and painted, preparatory to her trial trip, which is scheduled for Sept. 25 off the New England coast. Berlin, Sept. 19.—The National Zeitung denies that Germany contemplates withdrawing her military attache from I .rri! j —-1 „ _ fans, ana says: “mu iciauuua between the French and German governments have undergone no change on account of the Dreyfus case.”

Chinese Sun and Moon. In China the sun and moon are brother and sister. The moon is the elder brother, who looks after his rather silly sister, the sun. This is exactly the reverse of our legends, which make the sun the day king and the gentle moon lady of the night. One day in China, so the legend runs, the sun asked the moon if she couldn't go out at night. The moon answered very sternly: "No. You are a young lady, and it would be Improper for you to go out after dark.” Then the sun said. “But the people keep looking at me when Igo out in the daytime. So the moon told her to take the golden needles that she wore in her hair aud stick them into the eyes of people when they stared at her. This is the reason why no one can look at the sun without pain. A Con.ervßtlv. Parrot. A correspondent of The Spectator tells of an aged parrot of most conservative instincts. The owner had recently a new carpet in her dining room, where the parrot lives, and Polly made herself quite ill with her strong objection to this innovation. She screamed "Take it away!” till she was exhausted, and at last she refused to eat her food till they brought a square of the old carpet and put it around the cage. She then at once became cheerful and reconciled to life, though she will never take her walks abroad beyond her beloved piece of old carpet. The Worst Tart of It.
