VOL. XVI. THIRTY=SIX VICTIMS Wreck on Railroad in Montana Most Horrible on Record. CAUSED BY A RUNAWAY TRAIN At Lightning Speed Wild Cars Crash Into Passenger Coaches—Fire Complete the Work of Death and Destruction. Thirty-six lives were lost and thirteen persons injured in the wreck on the Great Northern railway passenger train No. 3, at Nyack. 30 miles west of Kalspell, Mont., Friday night. The dead are: P. T. Downs, assistant general superintendent of the Great Northern lines west of midport, North Dakota; K. T. Downs, hison, Henry Blair, cook aboard the private car of Mr. Downs; Thirty-three Scandinavian laborers, names unknown. The injured: Thirteen Scandinavian laborers, names unknown. Latest reports indicate that the wreck was the worst in the road's history and one of the most sanguinary in the annals of American rail-roading. Three of the injured will die and the others are in a serious condition. By heroic efforts fifteen of the bodies were taken from the wrecked cars. All the other victims were eliminated, including Superintendent P. L. Downs and his son, T. K. Downs. There is a severe grade near the scene of the wreck. Two engnes had taken a train of twenty-eight freight cars up this grade and drawn off to take water. While doing this, all the twenty-eight cars started down the grade. The runaway train crushed down the grade at frightful greed and crashed into the rear of a westbound passenger train, No. 3, near the sliding at Nyack. Superintendent Downs' private car was attached to the passenger train and next to it was a day coach filled with railroad laborers from Duluth. As the runaway train sped by the switch it struck a caboose and day coach on the sliding wrecking them. 2 Fire immediately started from the oil lamps in the caboose. The point where the wild train crashed into the passenger was several hundred feet away, and it was two and a half hours before the flames reached the main wreck. eMantime frantic efforts were made to take out the dead and injured. The wreck was piled high and wedged into almost hopeless confusion, and in spite of superhuman efforts the flames burst through the wrecked cars before the work was completed. J. H. Blair, colored cook in Mr. Downs' car, was taken out alive, but died in a few minutes. It was impossible to get at the bodies of Superintendent Downs and his son. The runaway tore down the hill at lightning speed, rounding the most severe curves at a speed upward of 70 miles an hour, where regular trains barely crawled along. With a roar it burst around the curve, jumped a split switch which would have turned it to the side track and crashed into the passenger. There was neither time nor opportunity for escape. Mr. Downs' car and that of the laborers were smashed into kindling wood, the occupants of the private car meeting in instant death. The wreckage and the shingles and lumber of the freight burned like tinder. DECLARES FIGHT IS LOST. Former Vice President Amalgamated Association Scores Strike Leaders. Charges that the national officers of the Amalgamated association had misrepresented the attitude of the United States Steel Corporation toward organized labor, in order to get the members of the association out on strike, were made by former Vice President Hickey at a meeting of the Bay View lodge at Milwaukee Sunday. The situation, as summed up by Mr. Hickey, is that it may take years to repair the damage to the association which, has already been done. The strike is practically lost, he said, as 72 per cent of the mills are working. Delegates From Every Quarter of the Globe Attend Ecumenical Conference. The third ecumenical conference of all branches of world-wide Methodism began in Wesley's chapel in historic City Road, London, Wednesday. Nineteen American bishops and 270 delegates were present. Bishop Galloway, of Jackson, Miss, preached the opening sermon. The significance of the ecumenical conference is that it is part of a comprehensive movement, having for its object the federation of all branches of Methodism. The conference will remain in session ten days. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1901. FLOOD DEVASTATES CLEVELAND Ohio City Swept By the Most Destructive and Fatal Deluge In History of that Locality. With the breaking of dawn Sunday morning the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, awoke to look upon a scene of unparalleled devastation and destruction caused by a raging flood. While the entire city was more or less affected, the great volume of raging waters vented its anger over miles of the eastern portion of the city and poured an amount of damage approximated at $21,000,000. The appalling overflow was caused by a grisly tain that commenced to fall shortly after 2 o'clock in the morning. It turned into a perfect cloud nest between the hours of 3 and 5, and then continued with great force until nearly 10 o'clock. The storm afflicted to the weather officials, was The surging waters spread over an area in the east and nearly eight miles long and add 1.2 miles wide. This extension from Woodland Hills avenue to East Cleveland and back to East Madison avenue. Great volumes of water poured over from Giddings and Doan brooks, down Quincy street, swamped Vienna street, rushed over Cedar avenue back over on East Prospect street, rushed to a mill race down Lincoln avenue to Euclid avenue and then on to Glen Park place, where houses were undermined as though built of straw, and almost incredible damage was done to streets and property. Through Glenville the overflow was terribly destructive. Many houses are swamped, culverts torn out and several streets turned into seething quagmires. The loss in the village is also estimated at $100,000. The street railways will suffer an immense loss, extending in varying degrees over every portion of the city. The Big Consolidated will have to rebuild their tracks over different parts of the inundated east end districts DETECTIVE VICTIM OF FAKE. Expected Reward From International Council of the World. In a special dispatch to The Atlanta Constitution from Seattle, Wash., the International Council of the World is represented as being the largest fake ever organized to fleece the innocent negroes of th south out of thir earnings. If the statement from Seattle correctly represents the purpose of the organization, Detective J. M. Hewitt, of Atlanta, who claims a reward of $2,500 from the International Council, stands no more chance of receiving it than he does of the czar of Russia. As before stated, Detective Hewitt wont it work with a will to earn the standing reward of, the International Council of the World by bringing to justice the murderers of Sterling Thompson, the aged negro who met his death in Campbell county last January. In a circular, which reached the hands of the officer, the International Council agreed to pay $500 for the arrest and conviction of every person guilty of mob violence. After weeks of shrewd work, and without assistance, Detective Hewitt finally brought about the conviction of seven white men for the atrocious murder. The officer received a reward of $700 for this service from the state. This amoun, to the mind of the detective, was trivial to the reward of the International Council of the World, which he felt was already in his grasp. Elated at his success, Hewitt proceeded to give, up the $700 he had received from the state, to expenses, in order to go before the International Council with his expense account already paid. The cases against the seven Campbell county men were finally determined on August 18th, and the detective sent his bill for $2,500 to the headquarters of the council at Seattle. The only replies received by him were evasive on the subject of finances. Doubts began to enter his mind at the needless delay. The final revelation came when the dispatch referred to above was received by The Constitution. STRIKERS ARE SUED. Big Steamship Company at San Francisco Seeking to Recover Damages. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has begun suit in the circuit court at San Francisco to recover damages to the extent of $25,000, which it is alleged to have sustained by the strike of its firemen and sailors. The suit is brought against the Pacific Marine Firemen's Union and the Sailors' Union of the Pacific coast. This is the first suit commenced in the pending local labor war by any employer claiming to have signed an agreement with a labor union. ROBBERS LOOT TRAIN Bold Band of Highwaymen In Arkansas Make Rich Haul COTTON BELT ROAD THE LUSER One of the Bandits Who Expert Engineer and His Pals Are Thought to Be Railroad Men.—Amount Cotton Belt passenger train No. 1, leaving Texarkana at 9:25 p. m. in charge of Conditoror Armstrong and Engineer Henderson, was held up and robbed near Belt miles north seems to go back and cut off the mail and baggage cars, and, returning, forced the engineer to give up the management of his engine. One of the robbers who, it appears, is an expert engineer, ran the engine, mall and express cars about a mile from the point where the first stop was made and forced the express messenger to open his car. They then blew open the safe with dynamite, securing, it is sald, a very large amount of booty. The exact amount is withheld by the Cotton Belt railroad and the express people, but it is known that a very large shipment was made Tuesday night on this train. The robbers, after securing the loot, cut off the engine from the mall and express cars, and, forcing Engineer Henderson to get off they took the engine in charge of the robber engineer, and went south at full speed. At 1:30 o'clock Tuesday morning the engine had not been found. No passengers were molested. They were, however, very badly frightened and hid their valuables. The robbers were evidently in possession of all facts concerning this particular shipment of the train, as their scheme was successful in every respect. A suspicious character was seen to board the head end of the train leaving Toarkana. Railroad employees seem to be confident that the robbery was committed by railroad men from the manner in which they superintended the cutting off of cars and handling of the engine. The spot selected for the robbery was well adapted for this kind of work, as it is very wild and heavily timbered. The conductor and several passengers walked back to Texarkana. The sheriff and posse was summoned to go in pursuit of the robbers. So far as known no one was infured. There were five men in the gang. SPORTS WAGER FORTUNES. Bet of $400,000 Laid on Races Between English and American Yachts. The great international yachting bet of $400,000 between an English syndicate, represented by Walter J. Kingsley, of London, and a group of patriotic Pittsburghs, represented by William I. Mustin, was finally arranged at Pittsburg, Pa., Tuesday afternoon. The entire sum was deposited in the hands of the stakeholder, Mr. Kingsley turning over $150,000 in British bank notes, and Mr. Mustin giving a certified check for $250,000. What was said to be the greatest bet in history was thus successfully consummated. Bank notes and checks were carefully gone over and pronounced satisfactory. The credentials of Mr. Kingsley were examined with the same result. The stake is to be paid within one week after the concluding race, the place of meeting to be New York. The wager is simply $150,000 to $250,000 that Shamrock II defeats the American boat and lifts the cup. There are no conditions as to accident. Both Mr. Mustin and Mr. Kingsley, the brokers of their respective syndicates, will receive handsome commissions. Mr. Kingsley is to receive 5 per cent of the whole amount in case the Shamrock wins and 2 1-2 per cent of $150,000 in the event of her losing. OUR CUBAN TRADE SHORT. Figures Show That We are Sufferers By Radical Changes. Some figures relating to the export and import trade of Cuba for the first seven months of this year, as compared with a similar period last year just published by the division of instar affairs, war department, indicate that radical changes are going on in that trade. It is known that the United States and other North American countries are the sufferers from this turn of trade. ALABAMA CONVENTION ENDED. New State Constitution Is Now Ready For Submission to the People For Ratification. The Alabama constitutional convention of 1901 has passed into history. The convention adjourned sine die at Montgomery at 2:10 o'clock Tuesday afternoon amid scenes of bushle and enthusiasm, and in the presence of a brilliant assemblage of spectators. During the morning the new constitution was read at length from the parchment upon which it had been engrossed and afterwards the delegates came forward and signed their names to it alphabetically, much of the delegates were presented with a pen, which after signing the document, they carefully preserved and will carry to their homes. The president of the convention signed the document with a pen sent to him by H. L. McKee, formerly of Selma. It was with this pen that the call for the first and second conventions was signed. It will be prepared and presented the Girls' Industrial school at Montevallo. The morning was spent in speeches, passing around compliments, resolutions of thanks, singing good old songs and presenting testimonials. President Knox was the hero of the hour, and was presented with a solid gold watch. A handsome silver tea service was given clerk Frank Jullan, and another to the reading clerk, Colonel W. W. Brandon. The committee on harmony had a little jubilation of its own, and presented its chairman, Captain Frank White, with a gold watch, chain and locket. C. P. Beddow, Captain Frank White and General John W. A. Sanford made speeches pledging their support to the new constitution, and thus the last of the doubtful democrats fell in line. When the final roll was called all but three of the delegates came forward and put their names to the new instrument These were Mr. Studdard, the republican from Fayette; Mr. Foshee, the populist from Cohcueh, and Mr. Reynolds, the populist from Chilton. The signing by the other populist members does not pledge them to support the constitution, being a mere attestation by the delegates that this instrument was legally and regularly passed. President Knox announced a committee of one delegate from each congressional district to prepare and issue an address to the people on the new constitution. The convention has already provided for having 50,000 copies of the address printed and distributed. Governor Jelks said in an interview Tuesday afternoon: "I will give the people as long as possible to think over and discuss the new constitution, and I will go about the limit allowed me in fixing the date of the election on ratification. I will call it for some day between November 1 and 15." INSULTING PLAY SUPPRESSED. Civil Governor Nunez Bara Performance By Spanish Theatral Company. Civil Governor Nunez, at Havana, has suppressed a French play, translated into Spanish, which had been presented at the Pavret theater by a Spanish company. The play is entitled "Pork Kings, or Uncle Sam." Senator Nunez describes it as "an insult to American womanhood." La Lucha, protesting against the production in the strongest terms, says: "This play consists of vile and useless malevolence, which is heaped upon the entire American nation, instead of a small group." MUNIR BEY INSULTS FRANCE. Turkish Ambassador Returns to Paris and Is Forced to Decamp. The result of the return to Paris of Munir Bey, Turkish ambassador to France, in spite of rupture of Franco-Turkish relations and holding a fete in the most open way at the Turkish embassy Sunday in honor of the anniversary of the sultan's accession to the throne, has been that the French government sent him the same afternoon a request to leave France immediately, and Munir Bey departed for Switzerland that evening. Crushed to Death Under Wheels of Rapidly-Moving Trolley Car. At Birmingham, Ala., Saturday Mrs. Fannie McGill, carrying a baby in her arms, was run down by a trolley car and mother and child were mangled to death, being dragged half a block under the car. The accident was witnessed by many people. John Smith, the regular motorman, and Charles Courson, a learner, were immediately arrested and placed in the county jail without bond. Smith is charged with murder and Courson with magistrates. **Subscription:** $125 per annum; 75 for Six Months; 59 for Three Months; Single Copies $6. In Advance. TOILERS · CELEBRATE SHAFFER IN VAN AT PITTSBURG In All Sections of the Union the Day Is Celebrated. With Parades, Speech-Making and Festivities. Labor day in Kansas City was marked by the largest and most imposing parade of labor unions ever seen in the city and by the participation of William J. Bryan in the procession and exercises. Eight thousand men marched through the streets, grouped in their unions, and each union wearing a distinguishing uniform. Mr. Bryan, as orator of the day, occupied a carriage at the head of the line and was cheered whenever recognized. The pavilion at the park was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Bryan took for his text the Bible verse, "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn." Among other things Mr. Bryan said: "Each decade of our history shows greater production of wealth and the men who produce it have less to show for it. Is this a good condition—a right condition? The solution of the problems that confront us is in legislation, not in legislation for or against classes, but for equal justice before law. The strike today is the only weapon the laborer has, but it is weak and inefficient. "If the laboring men were half as active on election day as they are in enforcement of their" strikes they would wield a force that would right the evils which beset them. "The greatest danger of today is private monopoly. Not that any one monopoly is worse than others, but the principle is bad which tolerates any private monopoly. "I have heard that the true solution of the problem is for the laboring men to divide profits with the trusts. That has been given as an argument for the trusts. Such a thing would be immoral and impolitic. It would be like dividing the spoils of the highwayman. "I am opposed to government by injunction, not that it is directed especially against the laboring man, but that it does away with trial by jury. It is a menace not only to one class, but to all. It is within the power of the laboring man to do away with the system." Mr. Bryan condemned the action of the South Carolina mill men who forbade their men to celebrate Labor day or to join unions. Homes at Pittsburgh Pittsburg, Pa., was given over to the "sturdy sons of toil" Monday, who paraded the streets many thousand strong in celebration of Labor day. The interest, owing to the Amalgamated strike, was never as great as this year and in the procession were workers from almost every trade in that great industrial center. The parade was started about 11 o'clock and was in four divisions. The first division was made up of the Amalgamated strikers, with President Shaffer in command. It was one of the largest divisions and the striking steel workers were greeted with enthusiasm all along the route. The parade was interspersed with many bands. The best of feeling prevailed and there was no disorder. Ten thousand laboring men and women marched through the streets of Cleveland in the celebration of Labor day. The International Longshoremen had 1,200 men in line. A number of banners were carried, five of which read: "We are fighting a billion dollar trust!" "We are not on strike, but are in the fight!" "Our spirit of loyalty cannot be bought!" "In God we trust; we don't care for any other trust!" "Down with Schwab and Morgan; long live T. J. Shaffer." Big Parade in Philadelphia. Labor day was generally observed in Philadelphia. Business was practically suspended and the stock exchange, commercial institutions and municipal departments were closed. Celebrated at Chicago Organized working men in Chicago and viciously celebrated Labor day with numerous picnics and a huge parade. It is estimated that 25,000 trades unionists and musicians were in line. Business was generally suspended to allow full observance of the day. Atlanta's Tollers Celebrate. Labor day in Georgia's capital city was royally celebrated by parade, speaking and other exercises, at Grant park, and 'a big ball, in the evening concluded the ceremonies. HESTER'S COTTON CROP TOTALS An Increase of Nearly One Hundred Thousand Bales of the Fleecy Staple Is Predicted. A New Orleans special says: The totals of Secretary Hester's annual report of the cotton crop of the United States was promulgated Monday. They show receipts of cotton at all United States ports for the year of 7,665,452, against 6,374,364 last year; overland to northern mills, 1,140,237, against 1,161,159; southern consumption taken direct from interior of the cotton belt 1,576,733, against 1,540,863, making the crop of the United States for 1900-1901 amount to, 10,233,422 bales, against 9,436,416 last year and 11,274,840 the year before. Mr. Hester has made his usual investigation. into the consumption of every cotton mill in the south, including woolen, mills that have, used cotton, and the results show a total of 1,620,931 bales, but of this 44,138 bales were taken from ports included in port receipts. This total shows that the mills of the south have used up 23,819 bales more than during 1899-1900, against a consumption by the north of 2,050,000. He makes the actual cotton crop of Texas, including Indian Territory, 3,808,568, or say, 1,218,056 bales more than last year, and states that the actual production of Indian Territory was 299,330, against 156,064 last year. Mr. Hester also gives the actual production of Oklahoma 119,063, and Missouri 25,794. His report on the cotton.crop for the different states is given as follows in thousands of bales. North Carolina, etc. 545 South Carolina 911 Georgia 1,295 Alabama 1,000 Florida 45 Mississippi 550 Louisiana 719 Arkansas 762 Tennessee, etc. 350 Texas, etc. 3,809 Total crop, bales 10,333 North Carolina above Includes Kentucky and Virginia; Tennessee Includes Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Utah; Texas Includes Indian Territory. Mr. Hester's full report will contain interesting facts in relation to the continued increase in the spindles of southern mills and to new mills now building, some of which will come into operation during the new commerce year. He will also give interesting fo showing that with an excess in b over last year of 947,006 the so tained for the crop an inc $130,782,729, the value of *+ crop having reached the en- tal of $494,567,549, more in than has ever before been obtai- ned any crop! He compares the value, this crop with that of the year before last—11,274,840 bales, the largest ever grown—and shows that we have re- ceived this year for $1,418 bales less $211,794,562 more. Mr. Hester says when it is considered that the two past cotton crops have been sold in the south for $558,525,369, their importance will be appreciated as the means of bringing prosperity to the cotton states. "BUMPING" FEATURE OMITTED: Kalcer Bill Walves Katowing Ceremony In Receiving Chinese. Monday night Prince Chun and his entourage left Basle, Switzerland, for Berlin by the imperial special train. Before starting a member of the mission said that Emperor William had decided to waive the ceremony of katowing and that the only persons to be received by him in ceremonial audience would be Prince Chun and Yit Chang. The member in question said also that the mission would remain in Berlin for a fortnight and had received and accepted invitations from the British, Italian, American, Belgian and Japanese governments. Financial Aid For Strikers. The San Francisco branch of the International Molders' Union has been given $5,000 by the national body for the benefit of the members on strike in that city. DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED. Boy Accidentally Kills His Sister With "Harmless" Parlor Rifle. With a parlor rifle, that he held upon his shoulder, Roy Wilkes, aged 11, shot and killed his sister, Koralne, aged 15, at their mother's home in Atlanta, Ga., Monday. The killing was accidental, the boy not knowing the rifle was loaded. The girl sank upon the floor, and at first it was thought she was jesting, about having been shot, but the body soon became lifeless, and death had settled a pall upon a family with the pathos of a tragedy that was polignant with grief.

PRESS the claims of justice and truth. THE highest rank that a man can attain, is to be a true gentleman. A BAD reputation oftimes causes persons to suffer for that which they are not guilty of. STAND for the right if you have to stand alone. If the world be against you stand against the world. THE expression "be sure your sins will be found out" is not always true, but "be sure your sins will find you out" is invariably true. PRESIDENT MOKINLEY made a speech at the Pan-American Exposition on Thursday to the greatest crowd ever assembled since the opening of the exposition. THE person who always has some thing to do is not apt to get into trouble. It is the idle and unemployed who fills up our jails and does time on the chaingangs. THE first thing most of us think of when we get a dollar in our possession is how to spend that dollar; the thing for us to think of is how to save it or a part of it any day. The New York Sun says: "Burning at the stake has been revived as a distinguishing popular American institution. Now Negroes are the victims, but who will come next?" The education of a child cannot be shifted to the shoulders of teacher educator. The responsibility rests, first and foremost with the parents—September Ladies' Home Journal. We get tired of hearing, the cry "Give the Negro a chance." What the Negro want to do, is to use well the present opportunities and others will follow in their wake. The duties of a godmother to-day are limited to making a present to the mother on the day of the child's christening and remembering to send a small gift to the child now and then-August Ladies' Home Journal "Don't torswear the Eves, but remember Adam wasn't happy alone even in Paradise, so find a little better half by-and-by, and through the power of a genuine woman's love regain and keep your Eden green through a long and happy life."—Amissa M.

He spoke through the mouth of the cannon and smashed this unlawful institution to pieces so will it be with lynchings and other evils now existing against the Negro, and he might not bear with them two hundred and fifty years either. The social liberties of the American child are one of the evils of this country. Children's dances and children's parties, once given in the afternoon, have intruded into the evening, and are sending thousands of our children to their beds in a state of excitement which means no good for their future. It stands to reason that no child can, with his or her unformed strength, burn the candle at both ends—September Ladies' Home Journal. In the death of Mr. M. J. Solomons Savannah has lost one of its most valuable, progressive and respected citizens. Mr. Solomons was a most affable and kind hearted gentleman, and had endeared him self to all who knew him. His life has been an active and busy one. His death is generally regretted by all classes of people in our community. His old life long friend, Rev Alexander Harris, is bowed down with grief at the death of Mr. Solomons whom he venerated for his noble qualities and whose loss to the city he regards as incalculable. THERE is a colored man in Virginia who is now worth a half million dollars. He deposited in the bank at Virginia a few days ago two drafts on the Melbourne bank of Australia for $37,000. His name is Edward Dilliard. Mr. Dilliard was born a slave, but escaped in 1863 and located at Pittsburg, where he made $2.50 per day shoveling, pig iron, and lived on 40 cents a day, until he saved up $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began peddling coal, and studying his books at night. What he has accomplished others may, by continued striving and saving. Charleston Notes. Certainly no colored lecturer, who has been to our city recently deserved greater praise than the Rev. Silaa X. Floyd, who delivered four lectures in Charleston this week. The first three lectures were on practical subjects and were brimful of common sense and plain advice. The climax was reached on Thursday night at Plymouth Congregational church when Rev. Floyd delivered his last lecture on the "Race Problem in Song." Apparently no one in the audience had heard this subject treated before—at least no such luminous and forceful exposition of it had ever been made here, nor formerly. The lecturer outstretched his musical general way, showing how the thoughts and longings and aspirations of races might be determined from the character of the music. Taking up then, those inimitable melodies known as jubilee or plantation songs, he quote what an eminent musical critic has said in regard to their being the only original music America has yet produced; and pointed out the elevating and ennobling sentiments which he will continue to affirm with "When the Negro race forget these songs" said he, "may the Lord forget us as a people." In conclusion he referred to the ever popular "Coon Songs" and contrasted them with the soul stirring Jubilee melodies. The speaker declared that the words of all these coon songs were to a greater or less degree immoral in tone and were composed for no other purpose. The fallings of the race in an overdrawn and exaggerated manner. He deprecated the growing tendency to have this class of music on the pianos of the best colored families in all sections. By way of illustrating some of his ideas on the Race Problem in Song, Rev. Floyd read entertainingly a few selections from the greatest. We are sorry more of the Charlestonians did not hear this instructive lecturer who has been fittingly style" "The Black Bill Nye." Mr. A. L. Macbeth, Manager of the Bureau of Arts for the Negro Department, has recently returned to the city from an extended trip through Georgia and the two Carolinas. Mr. Macbeth is a photo artist of man and woman pictures has perhaps no equal among the colored people of the United States. Speaking of the Exposition in general and the Bureau of Arts in particular, Mr. Macbeth said: Within the past two months I have talked to audiences aggregating 25,000 people. On every occasion that would come out of it to the colored people, provided they made a creditable display in the Negro Building. As to the Bureau of A's which has been intrusted to my management, I am using every effort to make it a conspicuous success. There are enough of them to be a striking exhibition if they will co-operate with us. In your articles to the press please invite all Negroes who are engaged in producing any meritorious work of art to send some of their best specimens here for exhibition. The colored artist of the country will be well to acquaint me with the Negro artist himself he will know exactly how to arrange his exhibit so that it will present the best appearance. The Rev. G. V. Clark, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, has left the city for four months in the Northwest in the interest of the American Missionary Association. Interest in the coming Exposition is on the increase, and the grounds are attracting hundreds of visitors. Every stranger who comes to Charleston wants to see the Exposition grounds, and as the street railway company gives special rates on Saturday, numbers of visitors are greatly afternoon outing. A special committee from the Pan-American Exposition visited our city during the past week, and after inspecting the grounds and looking over the plans of the Exposition, gave it their hearty endorsement and recommended exhibitors at the Pan-American to arrange for space at Charleston. The congressman directed the erection of buildings, has appointed those who have no idea how rapidly such things can be done. One month ago there were many who declared that it was impossible to have the buildings completed by December 1st, the date for the opening, and prophesied that we would have the Paris Exposition flasco repeated in Paris. The congressman doubted Thomases are now able to see that they are. The Cotton Palace, which will be the largest building on the ground is well under way, and its imposing dome can be seen from across either the Ashley or the Cooper River, miles away. The other buildings are in various stages of completion, all giving promise of being able to construct the Negro Building is far advanced. The frame is up and the roof is being out. On one can get but an imperfect idea of this building from an illustration. It is only when the building it is seen that we get some idea of its propositions. Already applications for space are being submitted for the Negro Building should not delay making application. "Come early and avoid the rush." Mr. Booker T. Washington will be in Charleston on Sept. 12th, to lecture in the interest of the Negro Department of the Exposition. The lecture will be delivered at the Thompson Auditorium, a building which will seat about 7,000 persons. Owing to Mr. Washington's great popularity, the seating capacity of this immense building will doubtless be taxed to its utmost. Labor Day was generally observed here. The various trades have been actively engaged in organizing during the past year. Last year for the first time, the history of the city was highlighted and highlighted the same procession, and the colored surpassed the whites both in numbers and appearance. The recent strikes in various sections of the country, and the strike of the local machinists and boilermakers, and the local bakers, have drawn attention to the labor organizations, Organized an Alumni. Some time ago the graduates and under-graduates of the Georgia State Industrial College met at the residence of the President, Prof. Wright and after being pleasantly entertained for a while, an alumni association was organized, with Prof. L B. Thompson, president; Mr. E. W Houstoun, vice-president; Mr W. N. Nelson, Secretary; Miss A. White, treasurer; Mr. E. A. Overstreet, Chairman Executive Board. It is the pufpose of the organization to do much along the lines of education. A special meeting of the association will be held at Morse's hall on next Wednesday evening at eight o'clock, at which time not only the members are requested to be present but also those of other schools. Persons who are not interested in attending school are most especially invited to be present. Quite a nice literary program will be rendered including addresses by some of the officers. It is hoped that the association will be both encouraged and aided by the presence of a large number of persons. Mrs. H E Wright was among the excursionists to Jacksonvill on Monday. Mr. E: J.

Miss Rebecca Richardson after spending two months at Tybee has returned to the city. She came in to see us. Miss Richardson speaks very complimentary of THE TRIBUNE. Miss Lula E Battle left on Tuesday for Waycross, Ga., to spend a month with her brother, Mr. W. B. Brown, of the civil service of that city. We wish for Miss Battle a pleasant stay. Miss Hattie Lawrence, who has been spending the past year with her brother, Mr. Morris Lawrence in New York city, is desirous of of having THE TRIBUNE sent to her. She says that she wants the Savannah news and knows of no better way to get it than reading our paper. Killed in a Scuffle. Lymus Lawrence colored was shot and killed on Friday evening of last week at the corner of West Broad and Huntingdon streets. It seems that he and several other men were in a scuffle during which Philip Proctor did the killing. West Broad street is becoming famous for murders. Only two weeks ago a killing occurred near the place where Lawrence was killed. Freeman escaped after the shooting but was run down and arrested the next morning. The dead man and all of his companions had just been paid off and had been drinking freely. Employes' Congress. The Congress of Colored Employees of the Plant System held its 6th, annual meeting in the Waycross Colored Academy, Sunday last, Pres. Prof. Floyd Snelson presiding. The Congress duly opened with devotional exercises and entered upon the business. The call which was in behalf of the Relief and Hospital Department was read, where upon the president in a very brief but pointed address thanked the congress for its continued and faithful service and support to him in his very hard and trying position and also for their wise and consistent service to the Plant System, which has done and is doing so much for the colored employees, their widows and orphans. Mr. Snelson and others offered a number of timely resolutions of unfeigned gratitude and high appreciation to the heads of the various Departments of the Plant System from the Hon. President Mr. Dunham throughout the system and there-in prayed their continued and increased beneficence to the colored employees, who are so faithful and grateful to the system. Many able addresses by invited guests were delivered along with those by members of the system. The Savannah delegation was quite strong, consisting of some of the best colored employees of the system, together with Capt. Jno. C. Simmons, Editor Hagler of the Gazette and principal John McIntosh of the Anderson street public school. Some strong advices were given the employees upon industry economy, sobriety, education, morality, and Christianity in their daily life and practices. The hospital was visited by the congress and found to be neat and clean. The means and appliances for caring for the sick and cripple were found to be of the highest grade and the nurses and doctors who were highly educated. Refined and cultured white ladies and gentlemen seem deeply earnest and faithful, having no respect of person on account of race or color. The Relief and Hospital Department of the Plant System was most highly and emphatically commended and praised for its great service. The congress after transacting the usual business re-elected Prof. Floyd Snelson for the seventh time its president, together with other old officers except-secretary and then adjourned. The congress was large and enthusiastic, and its intelligent deliberations are to be highly commended. GRAND LODGE CALL.

Robert Gail are the proprietors and we ask for them a liberal patronage. Mr. Gail the manager is gentlemanly and strict in business and is ever on the alert to se u the comfort of his guests. Mrs. Dinah Watts Pace. Mrs. Dinah Watts Pace of Covington, Ga., has been in our city for several days. On Sunday afternoon last, she accompanied by Rev. John W. Whittaker, visited the Second Baptist Sunday school and she made an 'address relative to her work at the above named place for orphans and unfortunate children, which was enjoyed by all. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Pace spoke at the First Congregational church on the same subject. Mrs. Pace graduated from Atlanta University in 1883. That year she went to Covington to teach school. While there a mother died who left two orphan girls. Mrs. Pace's heart went out for these two little girls. After getting the consent of her family, she rented a room and took these children under wing. From this small and humble beginning a large and important work has developed. In fourteen years it has grown into a large commodious building occupied by twenty boys and eleven girls and one hundred acres of land. She now employs two assistant teachers. These children besides being educated are taught self help. They are instructed in all branches of household work. Mrs. Pace has under cultivation about sixty acres of land, which are worked by her and the orphans. The crop consists of cotton, corn, potatoes, peas, sugar cane, and vegetables of every variety, thus the boys and girls go out into the world with the right idea of life. They know how to make their own way. All these children who are old enough are professed christians and members of some church. Their ages range from two to sixteen. Many have gone from this school, known as the "Reed Orphanage" to Atlanta University and Hampton and have graduated from these institutions and gone out into the world and are doing good work. Mrs. Pace is a woman of most estimable character. She is simple and earnest in her manner and has no desire in living other than to be a blessing to her people. The work she is engaged in is one which appeals to all humanity loving people. It deserves help. Every community needs such an institution. Next Sunday night she will speak at Second Baptist church of which Rev. J. J. Durham is pastor. She will speak at other places through the week. No one ought miss hearing her. The race needs more Mrs. Paces. Dr. Williams Removed. Dr. J. Walter Williams has removed his office to No. 511 West Broad street, corner of Minis, where he will be pleased to see all of his old patrons and solicits new ones also.

CONSUMPTION BULLETS AND TORCH USUAL CRIME; USUAL RESULT Negro Chewed Cheeks of Victim In Horrible Manner and Attempted Murder of Her Fleeing Companion—Retribution Swift. News reached Troy, Ala., of an assault committed Tuesday morning by Bill Fourney, alias Bill Hillard, on Miss Wilson, about eighteen miles southeast of the city. Miss Wilson, who is 16 or 17 years of age, and the little daughter of Doc Carter, about 12 years of age, were on their way to school at Chestnut Grove, when they were overtaken by the negro. He seized Miss Wilson and the little girl ran off. As she did so the negro fired his pistol at her, but missed her. The little girl raised the alarm and soon a posse was after the negro. When they reached the scene of the crime they found Miss Wilson unconscious and terribly bitten in the face and bruised about the head. The posse tracked the negro to his home, where he had gone and laid down on the bed, saying that he was slick. The little girl identified him and he was taken out and shot and then his body burned. Miss Wilson is in a precarious condition. The sheriff with three deputies left at once for the scene of the crime. Police Were Called to Quell Frenzied Colored Worshippers at Charleston. Religious service at a colored tabernacle in Charleston, S. C., was switched to a religious riot in most dramatic fashion at midnight Monday night. Malinda Smiley, who was seized with a shouting fit fell to the floor and gave a demonstration unlike any that had ever before been witnessed in the edifice. Sam Smiley, the husband, who was passing at the time, recognized the screams and made a quick entrance, running wildly to the pulpit, where his wife was surrounded by a howling crowd of worshipers. Pushing the negroes aside, Smiley seized his wife, lifted her on his shoulders and started out. The congregation, however, was so pleased with the evidence of the casting out of devils that violent hands were placed on Smiley, and the charge was made that he drew a pistol with which, he held the Christians at bay while the woman was removed. There was so much turmoil that a riot call went to police headquarters, and a squad went to the church. Smiley was arrested. The woman revived after an effort and the congregation appeared at court Tuesday morning; where Smiley was dismissed. VENEZUELA FAVORS A SCRAP. Castro's Government is Tired of Being Harrassed By Colombian Rebels. Advices from Caracas, Venezuela, state that The Republica, semi-official organ of the government, published Tuesday an inspired article ending as follows: "The hour for notes has passed and the time for action has arrived. Diplomacy has laid before the world the just reasons which it has and has for asking compensation for the grievances suffered. It has exhausted all the means at its disposal for settling threatening questions between nation and nation. We have waited long enough. Now is the time for reprisals." Dr. Kerfoot's Successor Elected. At the regular monthly meeting in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday, the home mission board of the Southern Baptist Association elected Rev. F. C. McConnell, D. D., of Lynchburg, Va., corresponding secretary; to succeed the late Dr. F. H. Kerfoot. FOURTEEN TANKS BURNED. Oil Fire at Point Breeze Cost $500,000, While Three Lives Were Lost. The fire which started at the works of the Atlantic Refining Company, at Point Breeze, on the Schuylkill river front in the southwestern section of Philadelphia, burned itself out Thursday. Vice President Lloyd, of the company, estimates the loss at about $500, 000. Fourteen tanks, containing about 200,000 barrels of oil, were destroyed. The death list has been reduced to three. A NEW STEEL COMPANY. Rich Corporation Will Erect Mills at New Castle, Pa. A new steel company, to be known as the Independent Steel Company, has been organized and will immediately erect a plant at New Castle, Pa. Articles of incorporation, have been applied for. The capital stock is $1,500,000. A site has been selected and contracts have been let to a Pittsburgh concern for the erection of two mills. It is stated that other mills will be erected later. SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL It is stated that-by the discovery of a new process at Northwich, England, by Dr. Ludwig Mond, fuel gas can be made for four cents per 1000 cubic feet. While a freezing temperature will kill nearly every kind of good seed, yet weeds seem to thrive in spite of all cold conditions. An experiment by means of liquid air has shown that weed seeds exposed to a temperature of 150 degrees below zero upon being thawed out and planted produced good (or rather injurious) plants. Our Consul at Frankfurt, Germany, reports a new bronzing liquid which is made as follows: Ten parts of aniline red and five parts of aniline purple are dissolved by means of a gentle heat in 100 parts of alcohol. Five parts of benzole are then added, and the mixture is boiled from five to ten minutes. The brozole is said to be especially adapted for bronzing wood or paper. Instead of running new and repaired locomotives for trial it is proposed to place them on a series of friction wheels, or rollers, which, when put in motion, will operate an air-compressing plant to provide power for the shop tools. This suggestion is made on the basis of the actual use of an old locomotive for this purpose, noted in the Locomotive Magazine. One cylinder, seventeen by twenty-four inches, drives the main axle and through this the shop shafting, while the other cylinder is fitted up to do duty as an air pump. A new process now used in Germany of imitating wood carvings, etc., in plaster, bronze and other materials, is said to supersede the old way of painting and lacquering, in so far as it reproduces perfectly the fibers and pores of the wood models. The model, which is best made from porous oak, is covered pretty thickly with a solution of two per cents collodion, and when this is dried up it leaves the usual dull and porous appearance of the wood unaltered, but the model is perfectly oil proof, and the casting is proceeded with in the usual way. From Berlin is reported another improvement in the Welsbush gas mantle, by which it is made three times stronger and much less liable to shrink, without at all impairing its emission of light. The improvement consists in the addition to the thorium and cerium, of which the mantle is composed, of a compound containing silicon and zirconium combined with soda. The mantle is thus converted into a sort of elastic glass, the constituents of which are chemically united, instead of being mechanically piled together, as in an ordinary mantle. The addition of a small quantity of cobalt improves the color of the light. At a recent meeting of the International Committee of Weights and Measures, held at Paris, it was proposed to take up the vexed question of an international series of sizes of screw threads, based on the millimeter. The question of a metric screw thread has been one of the most difficult problems in connection with the decimal system of weights and measures. Dr. Benolt Reported to the committee that the best alloy for ordinary standard measures was one consisting of sixty-four per cent, steel and thirty-six per cent nickel. From communications addressed to the meeting by Professor Mickleson, of the United States, Mr. Chaney, of England, and Professor Mendeleeff, of Russia, it was gathered that these benighted counties were at last beginning to realize the important necessity of the metric system. WISE WORDS. Don't turn your talents into talons. Terminology has often terminated truth. Policy is prudence prevailing over principle. Perfect praise proceeds only from pure lips. Nothing is more irritable to the restless than rest. A man is in a bad way when his future is all behind him. Every bumble bee thinks he knows how to build the eagle's nest. It is not wise to consume all mud because some contains diamonds.—Ram's Horn. War Ballbons. The London War Office, it is stated, is about purchasing Dr. Barton's balloon for military purposes. It is cigar-shaped and has a platform and machinery suspended underneath. A high-speed motor drives the propellers and it is provided with two aeroplanes, one horizontal, by which the balloon is made to ascend and descend, and another vertical at the rear, which goes the steering from right to left. Water tanks arranged at each end, into which the water is pumped automatically from one to the other, overcome the difficulty arising from the necessity of moving the centre of gravity. The opinion is expressed that by the end of the summer the balloon will be able to carry three persons at the rate of twelve miles an hour. Philadelphia Times. Painless Operation That Surprised a Clerk In a Book Shop. An aged, well-dressed man, with white side whiskers and a general appearance of substantial prosperity and eminent respectability, stepped into the retail store on Fifth avenue of a book publisher the other day and asked one of the young clerks in a confidential undertone: "Have you a match?" "Certainly, sir," replied the young man, producing a handful of lucifers from his vest pocket, "but you will permit me to say that it is against the rules to smoke in this shop." "Oh, that's all right," replied the old gentleman, amiably, "I never smoke." With that he began to fumble in his pockets. Not finding what he wanted, he asked the clerk for the loan of a knife. Then he lit the match, blew it out immediately and began to sharpen the burned end into a point. "Ah, I see you need a toothpick" remarked the clerk, as he watched the whittling process. The old gentleman made no reply, but when he had put a nice point to the match he again spoke. "Perhaps," he said, "you have a quiet place where I could sit down for a few moments without being observed?" The clerk, wondering what the old gentleman might ask for next, politely led the way to a corner of the store fitted with easy chairs for the benefit of such patrons of the firm as might want to glance over a book before buying it. The old gentleman sat down and without a moment's hesitation rolled up the left leg of his trousers to a point above the knee. Then, using the back of the knife as a hammer, with a few well-directed blows he drove the match into his knee. Then, readjusting his trousers, he handed the knife back to the astonished young man and said: "I am very much obliged to you. You see I have a wooden leg, and one of the pins holding it together fell out. The match will do very nicely until I can get home. If you happen to be over in Newark and have anything the matter with your leg, just step into my office and I shall be glad to assist you." Then, as he handed the clerk a card bearing the name of a prominent financier in Newark, he smiled, bowed politely and walked out.-New York Times.
