A Negro Coal Wheeler stabbed to Death
in McDOnOghville.

in McDOnOghvilIe.
At 10 O'Clock Saturday night, in James McCoys
grocery, in McDonoghville, difficulty had it's
origin. during which negro named Carroll Pat
ton, was stabbed five times with cheese knife
and instantly killed, as it is said, by white man
named Thos. Sullivan.
A DEMOCRAT reporter visited the scene Of the
tragedy and examined the body of the deceased.
1t was lying on mattress, welterng in blood,
which was flowing in streams from four ghastly
wounds in his back. There was also slight
wound on the mans forehead. At first it was
evident that all parties concerned were using
every method to shield the party who had stabbed
the deceased, but Special Tracy, and Sergeant
Puiol, commanding the Eighth Precinct, worked
earnestly to ferret out the
PERPETRAToR OF THE DEED,
and finally arrested Thos. Sullivan "a the party
who had done the killing.
The causes that led to the tragedy, as related
to DEMOCRAT reporter, we're as follows:
The deceased, Patton, it appears is the leader
OF the coal-wheelers in A'gers, and some time
proprietors Of the coal yards refused to give the
wages asked for, as they could get white men
who were willing to do the same work for three
dollars day. This had tendency to create an
i'll feeling between the white and black coal
wheelers.
~ ~ ooAoch odturuAY nlRnb Patton entered
McOoy's grocery store, and while in there Mrs.
Mccoy had conversation with him, during
which she promised him some work.
Patton left the grocery store, and in the mean
time got drunk he. however, remembered the
promise made to him by Mrs. Mccoy, and was re-
turning to the grocery store when he met me-
gro friend OF his, named Harris. He asked Har-
ris to come along with him to the grocery, saying
there are some white g. of q BIS over there
who have insulted me. and can whip any white

POR THREE DOLLARS A DAY.
Harris refused to accompany him, and the two
men separated, Harris going in the direction of
his home and Patton making straight for the
grocery. He had no sooner entered the grocery
than he assaulted q white man named Foster
Foster, who was sitting down at the time. arose
and grappled with his antagonist. Patton. being
the better man, foored Foster, and then com,
meDced to stamp him. Thos. Sullivan ana VIM.
Merrlck, who we're standing by watching the
fight, interfered when Patton let 70 OF Foster
and started for the two new corners. The fight.
it is said was going on with un bated fury when
Sullivan seized cheese knife that was near a.
hand and used it with telling effect in the back OF
his adversary At the fifth lunge Patton fell to
the floor corpse.
Ali parties who were Immediately concerned in
the affair fled the scene, but were afterwards
arrested by Sergeant Pujol and Special Trscy;and
locked up in the Eighth Precinct station
Ihos. Sullivan is charged with the murder and
VIM. Merrick, James Mccoy and Michael Allen
are held as accessories. The coroner held post
