CHARLEsroS, s. c., September @.-A
special to the News and Courier from Lam
caster, says: A political meeting was held
here, yesterday, and was addressed by Col.
Cash. About the close OF the meeting a
difficulty arose at the stand between white
man and colored man, which resulted in
the former being wounded on the head by a
blow with a stick or stone. AT this time
two or three pistol shots were sred near the
stand, but no one was hut. Soon after 2
large PROCESSION OF colored MON on hofse-
back came up the street, enc Of their num-
Der having large pistol buckledi to his
body. The negro drew the pistol, pointed
it at white man and said: There's the
id rascal who did the shooting" The
white man gave him the lie, and the color..
ed man fired at him. Immediately several
shots were fired by white men, and the col
ored man fell dead. An indiscrfminate
shooting followed by both whites and
blacks, and three other colored men were
killed, and many wounded. The autiiori-
lies soon succeeded in restoring Gniet,
which now prevails. 1t is believed the
trouble is over.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-The conductors
and drivers employedby the North Division
Street Railway Company struck this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and all the cars in that
division of the city have stopped. The
trouble is not one OF wages, but short
time ago the company employed a new
superintendent, who, as the men claim, in.
creased their hours of labor unreasonably.
They accordingly met and resolved that the
new superintendent must be discharged
and the former hours restored, or they
would quit work. The company was given
till this morning to decide.
After the cars had been standing idle in
the barn for six hours, President Turner
sent the strikers note; saying their de-
mand had been complied with, and the OBJ.
nexious superintendent discharged, and
the old hours restored. The men at once
returned to work, and full force of cars

Congress, in the navy appropriation bill,
provided that no official should DC appoint

necessary. To determine this board was
organized, and began its sessions to-day.
The board will, of course, be inclined to
