NEGROES ON THE WAR PATH AT
MOUNT PLEASANT.
A White BOY Accidentally Kills Coloreo
wo!nen-Negroes Threaten to Lynch
the Youth and Burn the Town-T"o
Companies of Charleston Troops
Ouell the Disturbance and
ResGne the Boy.
TSDecial to the Register.

CHARLESTON, August 23.-To-day
has been one of intense excitement III
Charleston. At II a. m. a telephone
message was received from Mount
Pleasant asking for assistance. Mount
Pleasant is a suburb Of the city, across
the river, in Berkeley County, and
near the scene of the Cainhoy massacre.
in 1876. The negroes outnumber the
whites in the proportion ofabout thirty
to one. -, .-
The message came from the Sheriff.
It seems that about a. III. negro wo-
man named Mollie Holmes entered
grocery store in the village and made
some purchases. The clerk, Fred Schae-
fer, a boy of about Il years of age, haf
been cleaning gun, which is invari-
ably kept in such stores. The woman
passed in front Oft while the boy was
handling it. the gun went off and NOR
tally w,oHnded her.
,AsSoon as the news got ABROAD, the
woman, as is their custom, started
ont on a crazy crusade. They aroused
the men, and in q moment the whole
nopulation was in ferment. The boy
ran TO the Sheriff and gave himself up
and was locked up in the Jail.
The women surrounded the Jail and
demanded his blood. The men sentout
to the surrounding plantations for arms
and ammunition, and threatened TO
take the prisoner, Sheriff and jailor and
hang all of them unless the boy was
given up.
The Sheriff had a half-dozen deputies
sworn in and stood the siege, IN the
meantime sending to Charleston Tor
| help. .,
nieS of white militia, the German Fusl-
liers and Sumter Guards, were dis
patched to the scene of the disturbance.
They left the city at ?. m, and forty
five minutes later We're at the jail.
The woman died at about p. m.'
having made an ante mortem state
ment to the effect that the shooting
was accidental. This, however, did not
appease the infuriated negro men ana
women.
The prisoner was sent under guard
over to this city at p. M; but IN the
meantime the reinforcemehts from
Cainhoy and the surrounding country
had come in and the crowd threatened
TO burn the town.
The Charleston troops thereupon
were ordered to encamp on the scene,
and will stay there all tonight.
The negroes in this city are very
much excited, and the lower classes are
talking boldly of embarking in small
boats for Mount Pleasant to 90 to the
aid of the rioters.
Seven of the ringleaders in the demon,
stration were arrested about5 p. M. and
lodged Jail. .,.o,
killing, and the bloodthirsty feeling OF
the negroes is somewhat difficult to
understand.
