spindles were represented. j. +. Hanson

hoped that the united action would result in
good to the manufacturers of the south. Let
tiers were read from the managers of several
mills which were not represented, expressing
sympathy with the object af the convention.

mills, Columbus, Ga, sent letter. Ee

THE CINCINNATI MOB.
Another Man Dies Of His Injuries
What Juror Says.

CINCINNATI, April 3.
At meeting of the socialists held tonight
it was expected that some action would be
taken on the subject of the riot, but the mat
ter was not discussed.
Soldiers until today have been very careful
not to appear on the streets in uniform, and
even today, in some parts, their presence
would be likely to cause bad feeling. The
great mass of citizens condemn the hostility
to the militia, as a class. Further details
which have been discovered in relation to the
death of Capt Desmond tend to show that his
killing was not deliberate murder, but he met
his death by a shot fred at the troops, with
out being aimed directly at him.
Alfred Hopkins, another victim of the riot,
died tonight. thus making the death list 81.
L. A. Phillips, who was on the jury which
tried Berner, and who has been accused OF
going to st, Louis TO escape the mob vio-
lence, says he was at the Music Hall meeting
the night the mob commenced. and remained
in Cincinnati without molestation till Satur-
day night. He says the first ballot showed I
for acquittal. He was for murder in the sec
oDd degree. The second ballot was ii for
manslaughter and one for murder in the sec
ond degree. He yielded at last because of
sickness in his family, and because he was
told that he would be kept there for 80 days
unless they agreed. After 80 hours he voted
for verdict of manslaughter. He thinks
the newspapers are responsible for the out
break.

Mr.. Bliss Before the Springer Com.

Mr.. Bliss before the Springer committee
asserted that he had lost money by entering

not account for the failure to indict Salia-

which were opposed by the attorney general.

Dorsey. l found between 100000 and

account of the sudden death of Boster." In
reference to Kellogg, Bliss said "Cook is the
only man who said we must not do anything
with Kellogg, as it would injure the republi-
can majority in the Senate. Chandler said
to me one time: Poor Kellogg is in terri

FROM WASHINGTON.
Several Witnesses Before the Investigate.

WASHINGTON, April 3.
Before the Danville investigating CON-
mittee today Chess Ingram testified that he
had been a democrat for five or six years.
George Adams, q colored man, had threat
ened that If the witness voted the democrat

colored people followed him after voting 90
he had to take refuge in his stable.
Aaron Pointer, cslored, of Danville, re-
hearsed the fight between Lawson and Noel.
The white man (Noe) had the advsnta &c
when George Adams jumped on the white
man and the pistol the white ma had went
of in the struggle. Some one ran up and
took Adams of. Lawson was drunk and he
thought the white man was also. Adams
went across the street and said to the crowd
of colored mea there, ''let's get him Noel
and kill him. JEFF Corbett tried to prevent
the disturbance, but without success. Adams
got some more of the negroes and started
after Noel. Seven or eight of the negroes
had pistols. Glass had pistol and started
after the man said to have hit Lawson and
would have killed him, but the white man
pointed pistol at the colored man. Witness
did not know who fired first, but the colored
people would have killed Noel just as sure as
you are a man and I'm man. Lawson had
done nothing for weeks prior to the fight but
urlnk anu lOa1 illness mad oeen attacked
by Squire Tsliefero, Arthur Hatcher and Geo
Wilson for voting the democrat ticket.
Squire Taliefero had advised the colored
women to leave their husbands if they voted
with the democrats. Squire Teliefero had
stood up well until the firing began and then
he didn't stand up at all. Witness didn't see
him until two weeks after. Heard from him
that if the colored people did not vote and
could prove it was from fear, the governor
would give them two votes for one. This
was circulated among the colored people.

Graves.

WAsHISGToS, April 8.
In the Senate today . message was present
Cd from the President regarding the protec-
ton Of ievees of the lower Mississippi.
Hemorials, petitions, ETC., were presented
as follows:
BY Mr.. Wilson, for the recovery of lands
granted to railroads.
BY Mr.. Hoar, for a pension of at least SS a
month for all sailors and soldiers of the late
war.
BY Mr.. Frye, for a commission of naval
architects and engineers to inspect new de-
signs for steamships, and TO build a merchant
ship en- new designs.
By Mr. Call. to provide for the establish
ment of silk culture bureau
Mr.. Groome offered q resolution as to the
expediency Of purchasing the sword worn BY
washington when he resigned his commission
As commander-in-chief of the army
Ihe Blair education bill was next taken up
and Mr.. Pendleton spoke against it, compli-
menting Mr.. Blair for his management of the
bill, and saying his sympathies were with it,
out his Judgment against it, and that the SEN
ator had gone beyond the tenth amendment
Mr. Breck entered upon an elaborate srgu-
ment on the tariff. The so-called Morrison
bill had forced the republicans to avow that
they opposed any and all reductions, and
would permit no relief to over-burdened tax
payers. If Congress would enable the South
to buy cotton machinery free from tariff taxa
ton, the South could educate her children.
He was unwilling to devote the surplus in the
treasury to educate either negroes or whites.
w hat he wanted was to remove the burdens
from the people of all the States. so that they
could attend to education; but if it was to be
done, Mr.. Breck thought he would vote for a
fund to be set apart to sustain education--a
scheme of tax. of, say two per cent on all
incomes. above $4,000. According to news
paper accounts, Vanderbilt's income would
yield to such a fund as much as S240, 900.
MIR. Williams had no doubt as to the con-
stitutionalty of the measure, and if he had
he would give the benefit of it to the poor
struggling human beings living and dying in
ignorance and vice. He saw no difference
between the giving of lands and of money
for such purpose. Whose land was
it? 1t was the peoples.
Referring to Mr.. Shermans remark that
the South could not be trusted with money,
Mr.. Williams said that the senator over-esti-
mated the race question in the South. Every
man who knew the South knew that there
was more prejudice against the negro in the
North than in the South.
Mr.. Bayard secured the floor but yielded
for motion to adjourn.
