ACCIDENTS IN FOG.

A Pilot Boat Run Down and Two
 Lives LOsf-Two Steamers Collide.
 NEW YORK, May 19.-A number of acci- dents to shipping caused by the thick fog yesterday were reported today. Two pilots were lost by the cutting of the pilot boat Charlotte Webb by the French steamer La Normandie bound out. The accident oc- cured ten miles east of Sandy Hook while the pilot boat was at anchor. There were eleven pilots on the Webb. The nine saved were put on board the Cunarder Etruria and landed at Staten Island this morning. No particulars could be learned on the Etruria. The men lost were the boat keeper and the fog the Ward Liner City of Atlanta from Havana ran into the schooner Mary Davis anchored off the Narrows outward bound She struck the schooner on the starboard bow and cut clear through her foremast. About six o'clock last night the steamer Co> nal bound out was run into by the steamer Guyandotte while the former was lying at anchor at Quarantine. The Guyandotts cut fifteen feet into the starboard quarter over- hang of the Comal. The Guysndottes bow was cut into seven or eight feet in width to within foot of the waters edge. The Co., malls steering geer was destroyed by the col lision. Both steamers put back for repairs this morning.
 The Guyandotte's passengers will go on by rail, the cargo by the Roanoke. The Comal's passengers and cargo will probably go by the steamer Colorado. The captain of the Guy andotte claims that the Comal was dragging her anchor when the collision occurred.

 A. M. Medley, the Negro Who Started
 the Election Row at Forest City, is
 Riddled with Bullets While i'm Hid- ing.
 LITTLE ROCK, May 19.-A. M. Medley, the negro who started the whole trouble at Forest City twas killed to-day. Medley with his father and brother took refuge in the Advocate building when the killing of D. M. Wilson, Thomas Parham and Frank Folbre occurred last evening. Every effort was made to get at Medley, but they proved unsuccessful as the negroes were well barricaded. Between l and 3 o'clock this morning several shots were fired into the building without avail. At o'clock this morning Sheriff Izard per- suaded old man Medley and his other son to come out, promising them safe conduct to the jail and fair trial. A. M. Medley did not appear. The posse was not more than hun dred yards distant with the two prisoners when 8 number of other members of the posse raided the Advocate building. A. N. Medley was discoved secreted un- der the floor and he was riddled with bullets, at least ten shots being fired into him. There is still much excite ment and people fear raid by the negroes. In response to dispatch asking for troops
 
 in constant communication with the adjutant general, and if needed troops are ready to move by special train at moments notice. The cause of all the trouble is the desire of the negro to rule iu politics. Medley was at the head of the negro element. Captain John Parham, father of Thomas and Sheriff D. NJ. Wilson headed the white element.
 These men were opposed to the Democrats or white people of the county in all matters. Yesterday was the day for the election of school directors. In the Forest City dis- trict the white people pay ninety-nine per cent. of the taxes, but the ne- groes are given representation on the school boards and have as good if not better school than the white people. Two of the six directors were to have been elected yes- terday. The candidates were two white members of the board, but Medley and his side desired to replace these men with thei1 candidates. Medley said, 'We propose to secure the control of the board and manage the schools ourselves"
 A. M. Medley and G. W. Angram made in- cendisry speeches and stirred up very bitter feeling, which resulted in difficulty Satur- day between James Russell and Medley, in which Medley was knocked down. Medley was prominent Republican and member of the state central committee and of the executive committee and had secured the re- commendation of that body for register of the land office at this place.

wAsHINGTeN NOTES.

The Congress Of American Natf0ns- Henry W. Rogers Comes to Look for Consulate Hut Gets Arrested for Vagrancy-The International Marine Conference.
 WASHINGTON, May 19. - The following
 countries have accepted the invitation of the
 United States to send delegates to congress
 of American nations to be opened at Wash ington October 2, 1889: Chilli, Brazil, the Argentine Republic, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, Nicaragua. Salvador and Bolivia.
 Delegates on part of the United States have also been appointed The circular sent out by Secretary Bayard July 13, 1888, said of the scope of the congress:
 The proposed conference will be wholly whithout power to bind any of the parties thereto and it is. designed to effect or i'm pair the treaty relations now existing be- tween any of the States who may be repre- sented. The topics for discussion and de- liberation are manifestly of profound impor- tance, and it is believed that friendly and frank exchange of views in relation to these subjects will be of practical use and, by mutual enlightenment, will promote that ex- pansion and intimacy of social and commer- cial relations which must be fruitful of bless ings to all concerned.
 Henry w. Rogers, @ middle-aged man, came here on the fourth of March for con- sulate. He was locked up last night in the Twelfth street station house as 8 vagrant. He had nearly $20 in coppers and five cent pieces in his clothes, the result of his solici- tations on the street. He was taken before Judge Miller in the police court one day last week and gave his personal bond to get out of town. But he was sure of getting his post in a few days more and so he stayed.
 The following countries have thus far ac- cepted invitations to participate in an inter national marine conference, to be held in this city beginning October Is next, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Russia, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil, Chili, Costa Rica, Gantemala, Hawaii, Japan, The Netherlands Nicaragua, Spain, Sweden and Norway, Uruguay, and Honduras The United States will be represented by board of seven per- sons, aad it is expected that the larger powers will have about the same number of representatives. The smaller countries, it is thought, will generally be represented by their ministers here, assisted by one or more technicians on the subjects before the confer ence. The American board has framed a programme of subjects to be considered, and this has been made public. The proceedings will be in English, though representatives speaking other languages will doubtless make their motions and propositions in their native tongue and their words will then be translated. Congress appropriated only $2O, 900 for the expenses of the conference, and it is probable that 8 deficiency appro priation will have to be made

0Aeers Attempt to Break Up a Drunk
 en CareusaI Hut are Nearly Beaten
 to Death.
 NORTHAMPTON, Mass, May 19.-Ofieers Vance and White, of Northampton, attempt ed to break up drunken carousal on West street, Florence, about o'clock this morn ing and arrested two men. Companions of the arrested men then bounced on the officers and after terrible fight got them away with their hand-euffs. Officer White was thrown down, pounded and stabbed in several places, one gash nearly severing his ear. The officers started for help, pursued by the mob, and stopped at the house of Ralph Bardweli near the Congregational church, where they saw light. Bsrdweil, who was sitting up with a sick child, soon admitted them and Officer Vance fell in swoon. The crowd pressed around the doors and demanded that Bard- we'll should give up the officers. Officer White requested MT. Bardwell to load his gun with bird shot. White warned the men off, and when they responded with shower of stones he fired. Patrick Tobin was shot in the abdomen and probably fatally injured. Thomas Anderson and John Alvord were pep- pered with shot, but not seriously injured. Officer White is in @ critical condition. The affair created intense excitement. For many months toughs in the vicinity have caused trouble on the street and the officers decided to break up the gang. The officers had no weapons bus clubs and lost those in the fight

The Crew of,91 Wins She Class Race at
 SaItOnstall Easlly-Ball1ot's Swim to
 Shore.
 The spring class races came off Saturday afternoon at Lake Saltonstall and were very successful. The events were the Cleveland cup, single race, with 8 course of one and 8 half mile with turn, in which c. O. Gill '69 and W. H. Butler go Sheffield contested. The other events were the races between the classes of go, @ and '92. The Varsity crew did not row as was expected, owing to the illness of E. L. Caldwell, the stroke oar, who has been suffering with tonsilitis. In- stead of the Varsity being pitted against the juniors and the sophs against the fresh- men, it was triple race of the three classes against each other. Caldwell will be all right Monday, the physician says. The Cleveland cup race was won by Butler about ten boat lengths ahead of Gill Time, 13 minutes, 3031 seconds. Gill did not seem to try to row. Butler has now won the cup twice in succession, and if he wins 1t next fall 1t is his property. The following is the personnel of '91, the winning crew:
 Bow, F. Williams, 157 pounds; ?, 0. B. Ely, 163 pounds; 3, w. O. Rhodes, ITO pounds; 4, A. L. Allen, 172 pounds; 5. l.. pounds; 7,E. S. Isham (captain), 1sS pounds; stroke, W. A. Simms, 160 pounds; average, 167 5-s pounds; eoxswain, Neil Gray, jr., 115 pounds.
 A. J. Ballot of the crew of 'S2 did nervy thing just after the three boats got away at full speed. They had not gone more than thirty strokes when his oar broke. He did not propose to have the other seven carry his weight along he pitched overheard and swam ashore amid the cheers of his com panions and the spectators. '91 was the win ner by about five seconds ahead of go and ifty-two seconds ahead of 'o2.

A sensational Poisoning Case In Eng
 land.

LONDON, May 1s.-Mrs. Maybrick, niece of Jefferson Davis and French Canadian aristoorst by birth, has been arrested at Liv- erpool on the charge of poisoning her hus- band with arsenic. Mir. May ybrick, who was a prominent merchant, died with symptoms of slow poisoning. His brother Michael, known as Stephen Adams, musical com poser, and other relatives hesitated to act on the reports circulated as to the cause of death. To-day the county magistrate, Colo nsl Biddell, accompanied by the chief of pc lice, went to the Maybrick residence They were told that the lady was ill in bed. Medi cal men were summ oned and after an exami- nation they pronounced her fit to hear the charge. Her solicitor demanded to know the nature of the evidence. The chief of police responded that he had grave evidence that the woman had given arsenic to her husband from time to time. The officials went to the bedroom, where the woman lay haggard but composed. The magistrate directed that she be removed to the Kirkland jail, where she is now being attended by doctors and a nurse. The case has created great sensation.

MORE ASSETS THAN MONEY.

One of PhIladelphia's Largest Cloth
 Establishments Makes an Assign
 ment.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 1S-The Amy Manufacturing company, manufacturers of ladies' fine clothes, has made general as- signment. The company's mills are among the largest in the Kensington district and employ about four hundred hands. It is ex- peoted that the embarrassment will be only temporary and that g settlement can be made without difficulty. The com pany's distributing office is in New York, where Henry N. Almy, the president, and Henry G. McCouch, the assignee, were yes terday.
 eve were forced to make an assignment to protect our creditors and ourselves" said the secretary and treasurer of the company, John Groom. eve received word from our New York house that they were going to make an assignment, and we concluded that the wisest plan was to make general as- signment. We have no preferred creditors. Our attorney will probably apply to the court for permission to conduct our business, in which event we shall resume operations at once."
 The indebtedness of the company is esti- mated to be upward of $200,000 of which $100, 900 is borrowed money. The nominal assets include $15O, ,OO0 in goods in stock and in process of manufacture and the mill prop erty, which is appraised at s20O, 900, and against which there Is mortgage of $50, 900. The embarrassment of the company is at tributed to the difficulty experienced in col lecting outstanding accounts and in obtain ing advances upon stock in hand, their ready cash being locked up in goods that are not seasonable at this time. According to their own figures they claim that their nominal as sets will exceed their liabilities by about $170, GOO, and with judieious management l and sufficient time they say they can settle
 in full. The company was organized nearly | one year ago with Henry N. Amy as presi- dent, John Groom as secretary and treasurer and Frederick, Edward and Henry Almy as | directors. They issued 2, 200 shares at $50 8 share and in order to secure working capital ] issued bonds to the amount of $40, 900,
