PICKED UP AT SEA.
the OregOn-Liability OF the Cunard
Company in Losses.
New YORK, March 20.

New YORK, March 20.
A possible clew to the identity Of the ves-
sci that ran down the Oregon aas been OBJ
tanned. The fishing schooner Henry Nor
genthsm of Portland, brought to the railroad
dock at Sandy Hook Friday night, yawl
boat which had been picked up at sea south
east of Fire Island light. The yswl was
painted white, had black gunwale and a
dark bottom. The painter had been cut off
short and the rowlocks had not been put in.
1t is surmised that she was towing behind the
schooner and that the crew may have escaped
in her. The smack also brought in mail
bag containing newspapers chiefly.
The sea was so heavy today that nothing
could be done at the wreck by Capt Mer-
rck's wrecking steamer Rescue. In con-
sequence of the lack of efforts to recover the
mail of the steamer Oregon, certain foreign
banking houses have informed the pilot com
missoners and masters of vessels that they
will pay SIS for every bag hereafter deliver
ed at the postotfice until the sum of $3.50 has
been exhausted. There are said to be about
400 bags still uncovered. Th. sum would
cover so bags. which is probably the outside
limit of what it is still possible to find. In
memorandum respecting the liability of the
Cunard company for the loss of personal eff
fects of the passengers on the Oregon, Law
yers Irving, Ward and Phillip Holmes say
that the facts show that the loss was due to
negligence, because although the steamer was
on soundings and in the track of a multitude
of coasters, the captain was not on deck; be-
cause the lookout was inadequate or else
schooner under sail would have been seen at
least mile away; because there were not
enough boats and life RATS to hold all of the
passengers and crew. Negligence, it is said
was shown after the collision.
Augustus H. Hughes of Minnesota, has put
in a claim OF S775 against the company for
lost diamonds and valuables. Unless the
claim is paid, he will begin an action imme-
diatey.
Schooner Nellie J. Dinsmore arrived at
Portland, Me-, this afternoon. and reports
that while at sea she picked up two mail
bags, a life preserver and several packages
of clothing.

BUTCHERY OF NEGROES,

Wednesday last occurred a massacre of ne
groes at Carrolton, Mississippi, which is
simply horrible. The particulars, as we give
them, are gathered from democratic papers.
The trouble originated in this way A group
OF negroes on street corner were noisy, and
perhaps quarrelsome. young white law
yer stepped up and asked what it was all
about One of the negroes observed that it
was none of his business. The white man
thereupon, with the courage and readiness
characteristic of a "haughty Southron," drew
his revolver and began firing at random into
the crowd, wounding several. One of the
wounded men complained of HIN for an as
sault with intent to kill, and he was brought
is thus described:
"Just as the case opened band Of sixty
white men rode into town. All those in the
court room could see them through the win
dows. They were unmarked and heavily
armed. Ed. Brown seeing them Jumped up
and drew his revolver, shooting at Liddell
The pistol snapped, but another effort nude
it go off. BY that time the crowd below had
up tilt sldlTs dTiHeu WIFI guns anu
Winchester rifles. They Immediately opened
fire on the negroes, none of whom seem to
have been armed except the Browns, who
were among the first shot down. The scene
which followed was pandemonium itself. The
bullets ri1dled the negroes as if they had been
shot with buckshot, until eleven Of them lay
dead or mortally wounded on the floor One
negro attempted to jump through a window
He got caught in the SASH and a moment
afterward Winchester rifle ball took the TOD
of his head off. Peyton Hemingway, who
jumped from a second-story window, was
shot at at least twenty times but escaped"
According to this statement the first shot
was fred by Brown, one of the negro wit
nesses, who, seeing the whites approaching to
kill him, shot at the white defendant. But
the same dispatch states, farther on, that ''the
statement that Brown fred the first shot is
denied by many" Whether he did or not,
however, does not alter the character of the
deed, which was simply a cowardly, brutal
massacre of negroes, whose crime was that
they were about to testify against a white
man. The finishing touch to the transaction
is oforded in the stat ement of Gov. Lowry,
that ''the affair did not demand executive &C.
ton, as everything was quiet at Carrollton at
the present time" The governor also says

Camp. and Surrender Internationally.


A soldier who has been stationed at Mud

has arrived here bringing news of the surren-
der of Geronimo to Lieut.. Mans. Geronimo's
camp had been attacked bv Mexicsns. two
Apsches killed, and Geronimo's forces com
pletely routed. Geronimo fled to Lieut.
Mans camp for safety, and there made an
unconditional surrender. The Mexican
troops followed them across the line into
Mans camp, demanding them as prisoners,
and claiming that the fight occurred on Mex
can soil and the victory was theirs. Lieut..
Mans refused to give the prisoners up, which
greatly incensed the Mexicans, who threat
ened to take the prisoners by force. General
Crook wa. hourly expected to arrive in camp,
but at last accounts had not come. Two
dispatches from Lieut. Mans has been re-
ceived at Mud Springs, appealing for assist

LABOR TROUBLES.
A Suit Brought Against the Railroad
StrIkers-rhe Governors OF Missouri
and Kansas Hold IA Conference With
Vice President noXie.

GALVESTON, Tex, March 2l.
Mass meetings Of the citizens were held
yesterday at several places to take action re-
gardng the strike on the Missouri Pacific
system. Resolutions sustaining the action of
Vice President HoXie and deploring the ef
fort of the strikers to impede traffic were
adopted and forwarded to the Missouri Pa
cltc headquarters at Whitesboro. The reso-
lutions adopted were signed by several
knights of Labor.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 2l.
The Missouri Pacific railroad filed yester-
day in the United States circuit court tor the
district of Kansas, bill in equity against
800 OF the strikers Charging them and Others,
late employees, with having formed con-
spiracy to abandon the companys service,
assuming control Of its property and resisting
the performance OF service for the company
that Is, preventing the railroad COMPANY
from carving on its business as a common
carrier; that the defendants are acting under
the orders of a secret organization, known as
the knights OF Labor, formed for the purpose
among others of debating, relating to mem
bers of their employers. The court issued
an injunction and orders to place the COM
pany in possession of its property and re-
strain the strikers from interference with the
company's business. Federal power is thus
directly invoked and the case is regarded as a
test one and an important move against the
strikers.
ST. Louis. March 2l.
Gov. Mormduke of Missouri and Martin of
Kansas, held their third conference with Vice
President lioXie this afternoon, at which the
proposition submitted yesterday by the gov
ernor, was discussed and a formal reply on
the part of the railroad officials was made
The governors state that the present strike
could not have been based by the employes
or the company upon the violation of an
agreement of last year, because no such vio-
latIon has occurred; but they urge that the
business IN the States of Missouri and Kan
sas was Frustrated and that a speedy restora-
ton OF traffic was very important. They sub
mltted an agreement embodying in substance
as follows: That the company restore to its
striking employees in Missouri and Kansas.
the wages paid them in September, 1884, in
cludlng one and one-half price for extra time
worked; to restore all said striking employees
without prejudice on account of the strike,
and that thereafter said rates would not be
changed, except after thirty days notice given
III the usual wav
lioxie says in his reply that all of the con-
ditlOns in the agreement are acceptable to
the company, but that the company cannot
consent to take back the men who have en-
gagged in or advised the destruction of prop
erty.

FIRE NEWBURYPORT.
Two shoe Factories and Several Tene.
ment Houses Burned.

NEWBURYPORT, Mass, March 2l.
Shortly before O'Clock this morning fire
was discovered in the third story of the
wooden shoe factory of Morgan Bros. The
flames quickly spread to the shoe factory of
Robert Couch. Jr., & Co.; also to three
tenement dwelling houses, owned by Mrs
Eunice Poole. These buildings were all
wooden, in the new and compact portion of
the city known as Daltonville, near the
Boston & Maine railroad station. When the
fire department arrived the buildings were a
mass of flames and we're quickly DESTROYED.
Opposite the factories another three tene-
ment dwelling house, owned by L. S. Loavitt,
was nearly destroyed aud several houses in
the neighborhood were more or less damaged.
The total loss will amount to over $50, 900,
on which there is an insurance of s59, 500.
One hundred persons are thrown out of en-
ployment and several families made home
less. The canse of the fire is unknown.
Probably both firms will rebuild.
