NEWS SUMMARY.
MOBBlNG MALONE.
A Disgraceful Affair in Petersburg,
virpinia

virginia.
| A scene of terrorism took place In front
Of Gen. Mahones house in Petersburg,
Va, on the night of election.
! About l0:30 O'clock "a mob of drunken
men came down the street, firing off rock
cts and Roman candles, and shouting in a
Drawing, drunken manner. When they
reached Gen. Mahone's residence they
halted and fired their rockets against his
house, accompanying their action by deri-
sive remarks about the general and hurrah-
ing for Mckinney.
"Come out, come out Dare him TO show
his FACET cried one OF the ringleaders. The
company in the generals house was start
led at the noise which seemed TO threaten
an attack
against the protestations of his friends. ~
will defend my home. They have no right
TO do this. -
For a time it seemed as If there would be
bloodshed. Charles n. Romano, a dealer
in fireworks in the city was at the head of
the crowd, and shouting to Gen. Malone,
he cried: "Shoot, you The crowd
shouted again, dersively, and poured a
volley OF fireworks toward the general's
house.
Some of the mob, seeing the weapons in
the hands OF the parties within the yard,
realized that danger was imminent and
urged their fellows from the place. by
tnlS llule III was discovered lnaL one OF the
party with the fireworks had been shot,
and his limping called 10 his aid his friends
who, supporting him, hurried him away,
and the entire party left.
Selling a double barreled shotgun load
ed with buckshot, General Malone
opened his front door and emerged
upon the veranda Butler Malone
the generals son, was a prOmi-
nent figure at this part OF the proceedings,
and his voice could be heard amid the tn
multi. calling to the crowd TO diperse and
threatening TO come out and see that they
did so, whether they wished il or not.
Gen. Malone WAS arrested, charged with
assault with intent 10 kill one II. >. Harri-
son, but was soon released on $500 bonds
Gen. Malone said that the shotgun
which he brought out of his house when
the crowd appeared there was not loaded.
He tried TO load il but the cartridges were
too large for the barrel
The testimony of II. G. Campbell was to
the effect that he had been by Gen. Ma
homes side from the moment he stepped
out of the house with the shotgun in his
hand until he appeared before the mayor,
and that during that time he did not fire a
shot.

County Seat War Ro-Opened.

In 1887 there was long and bitter fight
between East Jordan and Boyne City Tor
the county seat, then held by Boyne City.
During the struggle, on the night of Oct
s. 1881, the courthouse, with all or nearly
ali OF its records, was burned. The gen
eral belief was that the fire was of in-
Ccndiary origin, and that it was also the
outcome of the county seat war.
Sheriff Hurd arrested Frank Anderson of
near Boyne City the other day on charge
OF having fired the court house, and he has
been taken to East Jordan for examination
before Justice Barbour.
Startling developments may be looked
for, if il is true, as many believe, that the
fire was the work of "A band of conspira-
tors, Of whom Anderson was one.

Superyisors Cannot Dlscrimlnate.

In 1857 the Oscoda supervisors tacitly
agreed TO exempt lumber, logs and salt
from taxation. TO bring up the amount of
taxation 10 the figures required by the
state the valuation of other taxable prop
erty was increased The property of
Rachel Soloman, assessed at 81 100 was
raised 10 s., 800 by the board of review.
She paid taxes on this basis 10 the amount
OF STA, but under protest, and appeal the
matter 10 the supreme court. The court
orders that Si3 shall be returned TO her on
the showing that the remission OF taxes on
lumber, logs and salt was not accidental
but intentional. II is believed that many
other residents Of the county can recover
on the same grounds.

Must he Decently Buried.

Benoni Lachance, a justice of the peace
in Mackinac county, held an inquest over
the body of an unknown man washed
ashore, and afterwards looked after the
details of interment. IL is provided by law
that expenses o. tho sort snail be paid by
the state, and the justice accordingly sent
in his bill TO the Auditor General. One
item in the bill was for "a SIS suit of clothes
for the deceased and another was for the
fee of the officiating minister. The circuit
court passed upon the bill, as required by
the statues, and Endorsed it, but the Audi
tor-General refused TO allow the items in
question. Justice Lachapce promptly ap-
piled 10 the supreme court for mandamus
TO compel the Auditor to allow the claim in
full. The court has granted the mandam-
us and further says that the stranger
must be given decent burial, and that it
is not the intent of the statues applying to
such cases that IL should be inferred like a
dog ana without ceremony. Ehis decision
will undoubtedly be of great Importance TO
the coroners and justices OF the state as a
guide in caring for the unknown deao.

The Pilot il to Blame.

Coroner Hendigs has rendered his YER
dict upon the Mt Auburn inclined plane
accident in Cincinnati, in which six per-
sons lost their lives. He says the imme-
date cause was the failure of the pilot,
Charles Goble, to properly work the throt-
tie and thereby stop the car. He says that
even II the piece of iron found in the
steam chest interfered with the working
of the throttle, still Globe could have pre-.
vented the accident by the proper use OF
the brake and reverse lever. He further
finds that the draw cable and safety rope
were not properly fastened TO the car, and
that the employees in charge OF the ma.
chinery were guilty OF criminal careless
ness in not stopping the train or examining
the machinery, when 1t refused 10 work
properly.

Negroes as Postal Clerks,
TTimos-Donocratl

Still the news pour in Of the reno
val of competent postal clerks in the
South to make way for ignorant ne
yroes totally untitled for these places.
1t is useless perhaps to call attention to
the violation Of the civil service rules
in order to make appointments, Tor
these rules do not hold with the Re
publicans for a minute when any
political advantage is to be secured by
violating them. A still more serious
matter is the great decentralization OF
the already detective postal service OF
the South.
During the last session of Congress
this was one of the issues made by the
Republicans, that the postal service
was bad and defective in the South
and West, and Mr.. Cleveland and his
Postmaster General were violently as
sailed on account of 1t. The Times
Democrat was compelled to admit that
the service in the South was not what
it ought to be from lack of men,
money, routes, etc.
There is not Republican who will
assert that any improvement Is likely
to occur from the violation OF the civil
service rules by removing competent
men because they are white and ap-
pointing men thoroughly unfit and
incompetent because they are negroes.
Admitting that the Republican charge
that the postal service in the South
was defective under Cleveland, how is
any improvement to be secured, we
wonder, by placing negroes in charge
of our mails?
