The Price of Horses.

A notice In the Ttrf, Field and
Farm, gives some curious data about
the prices Of celebrated horses, from
which it would appear that good
hOrse-fesh has always been dear. At
Newmarket, in 1905, a bay colt, by
PipatO, sold for SO, 600. In the same
year a tWO-yeaT-Old colt, by Benning-
borough, a tWO-year-old by Volunteer,
and a three-year-old FLY by Sir Peter,
were sold for S75, 600 each. For the
celebrated horse Shark, $50,000 was
refused and O'Kelly declined to accept
an offer Of 100000 for his stallion,
Eclipse, Tradition says that the Duke
of DevOnshire refused for Flying Chill
ders the weight of the horse in gold.
A few years ago the great sire, Stock
well, could not be bought for Sl00, 900,
and when Gladiator was carrying
everything before him on the English
turf, the Count de LaGrange would
not have parted with him for $3.50, 600.
Nearly $l5,O00 were paid for Lexing-
ton, and his son, Kentucky, was sold
for $4,000. MIR. Alexander refused
$50, ,dU0 for Asteroid, Kentucky's half
brother, and Norfolk, another half
brother, was valued at so. 0G0.

New YORK, March 1S.-The direct
ors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road Company have been in session
here for two days, and have awarded
contracts to the extent of three mil
lion dollars. These contracts are to
cover the construction of heavy and
difficult portions of the road. The
contractors are men of wide ex-
perience in railroad building, and
within thirty days will have six to
eight thousand men at work. The
bids were from 20 to 80 per cent. be-
low the chief engineers estimate.
The bonds of the company are being
steadily absorbed by investors.

Trouble Among the OfHes.hOIdsrs In Rich
iuond.
A Niger Killed for Resisting the Police
1.-The Military T5p-siae 6aila."

RICHMOND, March 19.-The cOndi-
ton of affairs here is not much
changed. Both Mayors had an inter.
view with General Candy this morn
ing. CahOOn's party, with the eXcep-
ton of three or four who We're started
out this morning, still hold the lower
Station House. They have been
without food since Wednesday night.
Daniel Henderson, colOred, was
shot and killed this morning by
special policemen for resisting them
when they were clearing the streets Oi
the crowd around the lower station
house.
Mayor Ellison's police still have
possession of the city buildings with
the exception Of the station houses.
This afternoon General Candy in
terfered with the municipal troubles
by sending a squao of soldiers re-
leasing the sergeant Of the lower sta
ton house, and giving free egress and
ingress to all having business there.
This action, ne says, had no reference
to the question Of mayOralty, but is
taken purely as precaution against
any acts of disorder or violence. The
movement is applauded by the friends
of CahOOn and was protested
against by Ellison as unwarranted in
reference with the civil law of the
State. When the military took pos
session of the station house Mayor FL
lison's police left, and being stoned by
the crowd of colOred men the pO-
lice charged upon them. About
fifty shots were fired and two or
three cOlorcd men were wounded.
Affairs have since quieted. TO-mOr-
row both Mayors Will have a police
force on the streets and hold indie
pendent courts. Trouble is antici-
aatsd. The City Council has passed
an ordinance tonight abolishing the
sfatioph6pses now in the hands of the
Cahoon police, and authorizing Mayor
Ellison to call out the first brigade as
a notice.

THE GALLATlN FRACAs.
One Man Shot and Killed, and Two Others
Wounded, al GallatlR.

From the Nashville Bsnner Of Thursday ]
a fatal shooting afTray occurred on
the square, al Gallatin, yesterday, re-
sulting in the killing of Jimmie Har-
risOn, and the wOunding of Billy Ex-
ON and Presbery Proctor.
The particulars Of the affair, accord
ing TO our information, are these:
Last April a man went to the house
of Mrs. Suddeath, the mother of EX-
ON, dressed in the garb of a kU-Klux,
and demanded her money, which she
refused to give up. The wOuld-be
Ku-klux tried to force her to do so
by beating her with a stick. In the
scufiie she saw his face, which was
unmasked, by her efforts to defend
/ herself. Her screams and resist
ance were too much for him, and he
became alarmed and left. Mrs. Sud
death pointed out Jimmie Harrison
as the man. He fed, stayed away a
! few weeks, returned, was arrested and
bound over to court. Yesterday those
/ concerned in the case were at Gallatin
for trial. When the court adjourned
Tor dinner, the parties were on the east
side of the courthouse. Jimmie Har-
1~0s began 70 abuse Proctor,and drew
:. sol and shot him in the arm. He

sb6fs were fred. Harrison ran up
stairs in the courthouse ana uleu n
few minutes. The parties are a
under arrest. Colonel bayiie Peytoh
was in the Clerk and Master once,
and narrowly escaped being kiiled,
bullet passing in at the window near
which he was standing and striking
the shelves. The square was iuH OF
people. and il is a matter Of surprise
that some innocent man was not killed.

ESTABLISHED 1910.

ordered to Tennessee, and Others have
been officially requested by Governor
Holden for Immediate service ip
North Carolina. 1t is extremely an
fortunate that this emergeDGJ should
have arisen at this time when recon-
struction seemed neax happy compile
ton: but the duty of the Government
under the circumstances is plain. The
proyocadon in both States is the same,
and equally gross; lawless whites
have attacked negroes, and with such
bitterness and fury that the civil au-
thOrities are pOwerless to sup
press the marauding bands
of Ku-KluX or to protect the
helpless and defenseless blacks. These
circumstances alone justify the act OF
the president in sending troops to
Tennessee, and will warrant the same
assertion of power in North Carolina
but further than this, the General
Government is bound by every Obli-
CATION to enforce the civil rights act,
grossly violated in these instances, and
to give protection to those to whom it
has already given citizenship. There
can be no question OF the propriety Of
the action with regard TO Tennessee,
and we hope there will be no unneces-
sary hesitation in repeating it as the
circumstances demand in North Caro-
lima.
