SHOT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.

New ORLEANS. March 1S.-The
! Carrollton, Mississippi, riot, in which
twelve negroes lost their lives and
from which others are expected 10
die, has created the profoundest eS-
citement here and throughout Miss
issippi. Carrollton is the county
seat of Carroll County, fifteen miles
from Winoua. on the Illinois Central
Railroad. in the northern part of the
State. 1t Is twenty miles from the
railway and without a telegraph sta
ton. A correspondent of the Times
Democrat visited the town to-day
and obtained the particulars of the
affair. The people of Carrollion
give long explanation of the origin
Of the difficulty, of which it Is only
necessary to state the following
facts
Mr.. J. NJ. Liddell is a young law
yer of Lefiore county, of one of the
best families OF the State and a cous-
in of ST. John Liddell, of Louisiana,
one Of the principals in the famous
Jones feud. which lasted from 1896
to 1872, and in which thirteen lives
were LOST. The Liddells are noted
as a fighting family, full Of courage
and determination. and will not
brook a word. The last week in
February young Liddell was in Car
rolton in attendance at the court
there.
On the evening of February 26,
while he was going from the Plan
ters' Hotel to the courthouse, he
found party of twenty or twenty
five negroes congregated on one OF
the street corners. Among them was
Ed Brown, quite a leader among the
negroes Of Carroll county, and with
whom LidGell had had previous
difficulty. He had then attempted
to shoot Brown and had armed him
self for any other encounter, and 1t
vas expected that when they met
there would be some shooting. As
Liddell walked by the negroes sew
eral obscene remarks were made 10
him With the spirit of his family,
although entirely alone, he stepped
up TO Brown, who was the central
figure in the .hrong, and demanded
what he meant by this and why
such crowd Of negroes we're col
lected there. Brown replied with
the remark, " None of your id
business.

The Election Committee of the
House, which contains eight Demo
Gratis and six Republicans, has voted
ten to four that Frank Hurd, the
great Ohio free trade Democrat, is
not entitled to the seat in Congress
from which he is trying to oust Mr..
Romeis, the Republican incumbent.
The House may overrule this decis-
ion. but in the face of the testimony
it is hardly conceivable that it will
do so.

saws that in view Of the strike OF the

Berwind White Mining Company,
operating in Clearheld county, has
ordered coal from England in order
to meet its contracts with some OF
the leading steam ship companies
sailing from New York. Two steam
ers laden with coal have already
left Newcastle for New York. If
the Sun is not mistaken in its state
ments, this determination to import
coal from the English collieres
should give the striking miners IN
this State cause for calm reflection.

DESERTED.

A poor woman with three children came in
on yesterday!morning's Santa Fe train. af-
foriing the. most distressing picture. Anxiety
was depicted on every feature. and she was
in tears as she came down in the street car
from the Union depot. Enquiry as to the
cause of her:trouble developed the fact that
she was on..the..h hunt for truant husband
who is a restaurant cook by profession. This
poor destitute woman had followed him all
the way from. Kansas City to Deming. New
Mexico, and back this far She thinks her
husband is in this city. Her children were
bright. blue eyed. homeless waits. whose APP
pearance was enough TO melt the heart of a
stone They were downrightipretty. pleasing
children. SO wearied looking. Enquiry by
Ad. n. Jones, who happened to be on the
car, revealed the further fact that the moth
er had had nothing to eat for three DAYS nor
the children but little Mr.. Jones relieved
her immediate wants. and told her if she
could not find her truant and worthless hus-
band, nor get-any work, he would see that
she was helped farther, so said our informant

Major Powell is loosing faith in his famous
runaway mule team. They took the driver
out in the country yesterday in the vicinity
OF Hydraulic avenue and played the skip
again. They seem to be of the decided
opinion that the street car business is an un-
indurable nuisance and have resolved to re-
resign their positions at the earliest date
possible On their western tour they sue
ceeded in reaching the fremont house where
they were arrested by posse, on suspicion.
In the course of few hours the driver who
had been rusticating appeared upon the scene
and after the proper legal ''exactments" had
been complied with took charge of the little
kickers once more and started for the coun-

THE.oLD WRECKS MUST GO.

Many have been spredicting that the old
frame row on the west side .-of Main street,
opposite the county building, would never
give place to better buildings until a fire had
swept the traps and wrecks clear of the
ground Nine times out of ten the predic-
tions were accompanied by the expressed
wish that the fire might soon occur and that
the tiremen might all be found asleep. Sec
ton by section has Main street thus been
cleared of the shanties erected in 20, II and
-. But unless the fire occurs very soon a
part of the row mentioned will be pulled out
to give place to a fine three or four story
brick block which Captain Murray Myers,
Hank Heiserman and we believe others are
going to build Capt Myers says the cost of
first-claSs passenger elevator is so much
greater than was calculated upon that the
building may only go three stories. Our adj
vice TO builders is to leave elevators out of
all buildings of less than five stories They
do not pay in three or four story buildings.
Nine energetic men out of ten will bound up
three flights of stairs rather than wait to fool
with an elevator

CONDITION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

! Mr.. j. d. Caldwell, as chairman of the
committee on school buildings and apparatus
visited the different school buildings in the
city Wednesday with the view of determin-
ing what repairs should be made before the
next school session begins. He prepared his
report, which will be submitted to the board
of education next Monday night, of which
the following is copy:
Lincoln school building needs repairing of
seats IN some of the rooms.
First ward building needs calcimining
and painting: the black boards repaired and
window curtains or shutters procured.
All the black boards at the high school
building should be repaired and inside shut
tiers are needed badly
Fourth ward building needs calci-
mining and painting also curtains
glass in windows, fitting up of two
basement rooms by cutting down windows
and making outside doors.
Thirty-two seats needed for fourth grade
pupils also curtains for two rooms and two
tables for teachers.
Second ward building needs kalsonining
and painting.
Recommend that the little school build
ing on North Lawrence avenue be torn down
as il is unsafe.
Recommend that steam heating appara-
ratus be secured for all the buildings.
Think bonds should be issued Immediately
for erecting new school building in the
third ward
Mr.. Caldwell says all the buildings have
good roofs, as the last heavy rains showed no
leaking Of any consequence. This is no more
than would be expected, as they have been
lately repaired.

BASE BALL.

The third game of ball between Wichita
and Wellington was played in this city yes
tesday afternoon and was witnessed by a
large crowd. The PLAYING of both mines was
far from being tirst-class, although several
brilliant plays were made on both sides In
the second inning Frautz, catcher of the
Wellingtons disiocated his thumb and was
obliged TO retire to the field, Jones going be-
hind the bat. This weakened the visitors, as
Jones was unable to hold the balls and al
though the pitcher eased up for him several
runs were scored on passed balls. Jeddy was
also hurt in the sixth inning by base runner
striking him full in the breast and turning
complete soInersault over him. Jeddy's
lungs were not injured, however, as residents
for blocks around can testify.
Jones, the injured catcher of the Yelling
tons, astonished everyone by his batting,
making two clean hits and several long flies,
and striking with one hand.
The score by innings is as follows:
