EIGHT NEGROES WERE KILLED.
Result of a War of Races in New
Iberia, La.

The particulars are being received of
fight in New Iberia, La, in which one white
man and several negroes were killed. Trouble
had been brewing for some days, growing
out Of an attempt of the better element in
New Iberia and neighboring parishes to
drive out class of idle and immoral char
acters. Many of these people found refuge in
Freetown, a small village composed of ne
groes, and began arming. Finally their
number grew to over 600 mounted men and
they became threatening. A party of white
citizens living in the vicinity was formed to
disperse and disarm the negroes They had
little trouble with most of the Freetown men,
but about Is of the negroes intrenched them
selves in a house and began firing on the
regulators. The shooting became general,
and was kept up for | "a hours. E. P. Smith,
leading white citizen, was killed. while
trying to break down the door of the house.
At this stage Of the fight the negroes became
panic-stricken, and attempted to flee the
house. The deadly work was soon brought
to Close When the fight was over the
bodies of eight negroes were found in the
house and five others were found outside. 1t
is reported that three or four more were
killed 1t is thought by some that few
made their escape, but others who were at
the scene deny this.

RAILROAD SUITS.

Papers in the two suits of the Manchester

railroad, one an action in trover to recover
$500, 600 in rolling stock and personal pro.
perty which is alleged to be the property of
the NJ & L., now in the hands of the Con-
cord, and the second a writ of assumpsit,
calling for 5000, GOO in money, claimed to be-
long to the Mai,c chester & Lawrence, alleged
to have been earned under a business agree
ment existing between the two and under
which they were operated for years,
and which the Concord refuses top pay over,
were served upon the Concord railroad Aug.
18th. f. S. ST eeter, counsel for the Con-
cord railroad, states that the suits simply
cover the claims made in the bill in equity
which was filed some months ago, to which
the Concord road made answer. He says
that the suits are brought in new form for
some purpose that is not known to the de-
PENDANTS, and that some orders will probably
be made in the bill in equity at the Septem-
her term of the court at Nashua.

AN UNINTERESTING COMET.
what Prof. Boss Says About the
latest VisiIor.

W IHt sb0s@ says ABOUT tine
latest Visitor.
The Brooks comet, discovered Aug. Z, has
been observed three times at Dudley obser-
vatory by Prof. Boss on the nights of Aug.
10, IA and 16, just one-half the entire num-
ber of observations thus far made in the
United States 1t was in the northwest at
evening, and only about 80 from the sun, so
that it does not remain long above the
horizon after sunset Prof. Boss calculated
an orbit for the stranger, and the result
was telegraphed by code message to the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, now in session at Cleveland, to
the earl of Crawford and to the astronomi-
cal intelligence bureau in Berlin, Germany.
The new comet will not be an interesting
object in the popular sense. 1t is slowly ap-
preaching the earth and receding from the
sun. 1t is now in the lower part of the great
bear constellation, and is moving toward
Leo. At present it is az, 900, 900 miles from the
earth and will be 10000 600 miles nearer on
the 25th inst Then it will recede, and will
probably be lost to view about the middle Of
September It's path is not similar to that
of any recorded comet, and it will probably
not again return to the earth for thousands
of years. if ever.

Applications for Staff Petitions I'm tho
Army Soon to be Vacaat.

Applications for the several staff positions
in the army which become vacant during the
next few weeks continue to pour in The
first of the vacancies occurs on Monday next
when Inspector General Baird retires The
latest candidate for this place is Captain All
Morton, Ninth infantry, who is said to have
some powerful backing of political nature.
1t is still believed, however, that the prize
will fall either to Captain Lawton or Cap
tain Bourke Captain Campbell Fourth
Artillery, is also one of the recent
candidates for the position. For
the captaincy in the subsistence de-
partuent, Lieutenant William p. Duval,
Fifth artillery who is well known in official
and social circles here, is a recent and most
formidable candidate. A. G. Paul, captain
of the watch of the state, war and navy de-
partment building, is one of the civilian ap-
plicants for either this or the captaincy soon
to become vacant in the quartermaster de-
partment. Scores of other applicants, both
from army and civil life, are mentioned in
connection with both these places

A BATTLE EXPECTED,
A Large Band of Sioux Gone to the
Cheyenne Country.

"A large DRnH Oh SIOUX WOAG 10 tine
Cheyenne Country.
At the Pine Ridge Agency, Oak, on Sat
urday, there was a great commotion when
it was learned that large band of Sioux
had gone to the Cheyenne country on the
Tongue river, in defiance of objections in
terposed by Agent Gallagher. They left
word that they were going to attend sun
dance, but it is feared they have more seri-
Gus intentions, as they have often threat
ened to join the Cheyennfs and massacre the
unprotected whites along the Tongue and
Powder rivers. The Indians requested
Agent Gallagher to allow them to go to the
Tongue river country last week, but the lat-
ter, suspecting that there would be trouble
refused to permit them to leave
the reservation. AS soon as it
was learned that the Indians
had gone a telegram was sent to Gen.
Ruger, who wired Col Dudley at Fort Gus
ter to send out troops ft once to intercept
them. In the aft 'rnoon two companies of
the 1st cavalry started in hot pursuit across
the country to meet the r5calcitraut reds.
The troops are in command of Mai j. w.
Hamilton and lst Lieut.. r p Wainwright.
1t is believed that a bloody battle will be
fought before the Sioux are taken hack to
their reservation, as they are in bad state
of mind and reported well armed.

lake by easterly winds, and, being
attracted by the glare of the lights, they
drop down, flutter around the globes for
awhile and then fall to the sidewalk,
where pedestrians trample them under
foot. Thousands of them, unable to reach
the globes,- are blown against the fronts
of stores, to which they remain attached
until they die or are brushed off by porters
