TROUBLE IN LOUISIANA.

The Negroes and Whites Have Some
Serious Conflicts.
NEW ORLEANS, September 1st.-This
morning between two and three o'clock an
excursion train loaded with colored people
arrived at Gouldsboro from Baton Rouge.
A large number of colored people were at
the depot waiting for it. As the train
neared The depot, one of the excursionists
in jumping off, fell. Some unknown per-
son shouted, Look at the black --' -
The negro drew his pistol and fired four
or five shots in rapid succession, one of
which struck white man named William
Miller. Then the shooting became gen.
eral, some four or five hundred shots being
fired inside of fifteen minutes
This account of the affair is given by the
police force of Gretna. A terrible panic
ensued, women and children running in all
directions, shouting and screaming. Ed.
Levy, colored, living in Algiers, was shot
in the left arm, and colored woman,
named Fleming, was fatally shot.
About O'Clock this morning a light was
seen in the sky between Algiers and Jeffer-
son parishes. The Algiers fire department
went to the scene and found large num-
Der of men armed with muskets and a
negro church on fire. There was no help
at hand and the edifice was DESTROYED.
Several were interviewed to-day, and
they state that when the train was nearing
the Gouldsboro depot it was fred on by
men secreted along the line of the railroad,
and that as soon as the train stopped gen.
eral stampede took place.
1t is very difficult to locate single per-
son who witnessed the beginning of the
shooting outside of the police of Gretna.
Rev. Watkins, colored, residing in Goulds-
boro, was shot while lying in bed at his
home, after the general ARRAY, by some un-
known persons who fired through the win
dow. He was seriously wounded.
Algiers, Freetown, Gouldsboro, and
Gretna are small towns, close together,
situated directly across the river and yirtu
ally the suburbs of New Orleans,
LATER-To the list of casualties is added
tonight the name Of Mary Carroll, colored,
who was painfully wounded Stories of
the row and its origin differ very widely.
The negroes say that before the arrival of
the train there was large force of armed
white men in the vicinity of. the depot.
who opened ire on the colored people
while the excursionists were getting off.
The white mems version of the affair of
course is entirely different. They state
there were only some half dozen concerned,
and that the shooting was commenced by
the negroes before the train had stopped.
Two shots were fired from the train,
they say, at q white boy, and then William
Miller was shot in the face by a negro in
getting off the train.
A police officer, brother of the wounded
man, attempted to arrest the shooter, when
the negroes opened fire and the affrsy
became general. The whites about Colds
boro are disinclined to talk about the riot.

Thrown Out of Court.

CHICAGO, September 1st.-Saturday Judge
Gresham rendered decision in the case OF
the receivership of the Indianapolis, Deca-
tur and Western Railway case, which has
attracted much attention, because the re-
ceiver after his appointment devoted the
surplus earnings to the payment of the
interest on the first mortgage bonds, leav-
ing the labor and supply claims to the
amount of $50 900 unpaid, it appearing the
receiver had been asked to maintain the
interests of the bondholders to the disad-
tage of the claims for labor. The order of
appointment was set aside.
Certain recommendations or suggestions
were then made by the Court and contin.
tinued with leave to complainant to
amend the bill. The suggestions were not
acted upon, and the Court holding the re-
ceiver had been made defendant for the ex-
press purpose of creating juris fiction.
Judge Gresham has now thrown the case
out of court.
The decision is a long one, but it is
formal in character and the interest lies
wholly in the result reached and its value
as precedent

taken south by the Gogebic Sheriff on the
train this afternoon. The prisoner was
defiant and his demeanor showed him
to be ready for any desperate deed. 1t is
expected, If he is not very closely guarded,
he will make a. determined attempt to
escape.
a great crowd congregated at the depot
to see the noted bandit.
Holzhay did not relish their scrutiny
and remarked to the officers with him :
If | had my guns and was free they
wouldn't be so anxious to get close TO me- %
To the officers who guarded him last
night Holzhay admitted he was the man
who went through the Milwaukee and
Northern train near Ellis junction last
May, and afterwsrd held up the passengers
on Wisconsin Central train. He robbed
several stage coaches IN northern Wiscon-
sin. besides committing many minor depre-
datons. The driver of the Gogebic stage
which was robbed last week, was brought
here to-day by the Sheriff and Immediately
Identified Holzhay as the man who did the
job.
The only regret Bolzhay expresses in
connection with all his career is that the
officers at Republic effected his capture so
easily. He says he was determined not to
be taken alive, and had he had the slight
est inkling of their purpose when they
were approaching him he would have shot
both down unhesitatingly.
The proof against the man, without his
admission to the officers, is complete, and
unless he escapes from the officials or sue
ceeds in suiciding, he is booked for life
term in the State Prison. Capital punish
ment was abolished in Michigan a number
of years ago.
BEssEMER (Mich.), September 1st. =
Sheriff Foley is expected to arrive from
Marquette between l and o'clock in the
morning with the train robber HolZhay.
The streets and saloons are crowded to-
night, and there is much talk of lynching
him before the stage, which meets the train
at North Bessemer, reaches the CITY.
The crowd contains many who have been
drinking heavily through the day, and
they feel very ugly. No one will go to
bed until the prisoner is either safe in the
county Jail or else dangling from some
convenient bough in the forest.
SAFELY LODGED IN JAIL
MARQUETTE, September 2d.-A dispatch
from Bessemer says: The highwayman,
under escort of Sheriff Foley. reached
North Bessemer at 1855 A. NJ They took
the stage there, and, proceeding to Besse-
mer, arrived at that place at 1:30 A. NJ. The
robber was safely jailed at las. Very lit

Fsyette county.
Information from the scene of the

The trouble had its origin Friday even
ing when negro went into the store of
Clary, Cooper Il Co. at Echo, ana brand.
lshlng club threatened to do up the entire

Grover Cleveland Sized Up by a Life

New YORK, September 1st-General J.
W. Denver, now Of Ohio, but formerly of
California, once candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for President was inter
viewed yesterday concerning Democratic
prospects in 1892, and said that the Demo
cratic party would not nominate Cleveland
again, for Cleveland was not Democrat.
He was unpopular with the party The
worst loafer in Washington stood a better
chance to have faYors granted by President
Cleveland than the biggest man in the
Democratic party, in Congress or out.
These facts are notorious, and Democrats
remember how they have been treated with
too much chagrin to foist him upon the
country again as a candidate
Mr.. Cleveland said he, reminds me
very much of Andy Johnson. In letter
writing and speechmaking he was sec
ond Andy Johnson, always managing to
say or write the wrong thing on any occa-
sion. He was ill-timed in his speeches,
and what he said had no effect, except that
it was detrimental to the Democratic party.
1t would be fatal error for our party to
put him up again as candidate for the
Presidency. Then free trade will not be
the issue in 1892 No, it will not for the
Democratic party is not for free trade
Mind you, do not say that we were defeated
in 1888 by the cry of free trade, but simply
because thousands of Democrats refused to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland. We have had
enough of him. Governor Hill or ex-Sec-
retary Whitney either could carry The
country, because they are Democrats"
