Alarm Over the Threatened Race
War in Fayette County.
WHEELING, w. Va. Sept. There
is good deal of anxiety over the news
of the threatened race war in the New
River valley, Fayette county. InfOrma-
ton from the scene of the threatened
trouble is meager, but is Of such a
nature as to give rise to fears
that a serious breach of the peace
will occur. The trouble seems
to have had its origin Friday
evening, when negro went into the
store of Beary, Cooper & Co., at Echo,
and, brandishing club, threatened to
''do up" the entire force of employees.
All efforts to pacify him were futile, and
one of the clerks, after receiving a bad
blow from the club, drew a revolver and
shot the negro, killing him instantly.
Echo is the center of con-
siderable colored population, and
last night information was received
at Charleston that mob of
negros had collected on New river, and
that a concerted onslaught on the
whites was in contemplation. Orders
were also received by the Charleston
hardware stores for all the Winchester
rifles available, and considerable ship
ment of these arms was made. Citizens
of Charleston were also gathering arms,
and it was apbrehended the military
would be Ordered\out. Nothing addi-
tional had been heard up to 10 o'clock

FAITHORN FAILED.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The vexed ques-
lion of rates between Chicago and st.
Paul on traffic originating at Eastern
points remains unsettled. Chairman
Faithorn, of the Western Freight asSo-
citation, who went to New York under
instructions to attempt to arrange a
bases for through rates from the sea-
board to tide Northwest, will arrive
home tomorrow. a meeting will be
held next day. when he will submit his
report So far as can be learned, it is
practically certain that he will be COM
PEELED to report failure. Everything
now seems to depend upon the course
the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
will decide to take. Some signifi-
cance is attached to the fact that
President G. E. Perkins, of the
Burlington & Quincy, left for
st. Paul Saturday over the Burlington
& Northern. This may mean much or
nothing, and depends largely on
whether President Perkins has in view
an examination of the property or
simply Northwestern trip. Neverthe-
less, it has revived the rumOr that the
much-talke d-Of deal between the Chi
cogo, Burlington d Quincy and the Chi

TENTH OF ITs KIND.
Rochester's Big Fair Will Open
TO-MOrrOw.


Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The
tenth annual Southern Minnesota fair
opens here tomorrow, and an enter
prise of the like kind never gave more
auspicious promise to those interested
in its success than does the coming
Rochester fair. The secretary and di-
rectorS are most sanguine, and for the
past week it has been the prevailing
sentiment, expressed by all here, that
if the week could only be one of favor
able weather a successful fair was

greeted by an attendance that would
do honor to an agricultural and indus
trial show held IN city many times the
size of this, for never before in its
history has the association met with
such energetic aid and cooperation
from the people, and the farming COM
munity especially, not only of Olmsted
county, but throughout this section of
the state. Extensive arrangements
have been made both by the Fair asso-
citation and the citizens for the illumina-
tiOn of the city during the week. The
fair grounds are about three-fourthS of
q mile from the business part of the
city, in the center of an extensive bot
tom land lying between distant bluffs,
which flank on either side the valley of
the ZumbrO at this place, and which
rise in the form of an amphitheater
about the city. The landscape view
that is obtained from the fair grounds
at this season of the year is a lovely
one. The buildings of the association
are permanent, and are large and sub
stautially built; these, together with
the spacious grounds and excellent
mile track, which up to year or so ago
had the reputation of being
THE BEST IN THE STATE.

going on very actively for the past

FARMINGTON, Sept. IA bloody and
mysterious tragedy occurred to-day or
the farm of Samuel Holmes, two miles
from this city, and Holmes is himself
the victim. His bloody and disfgured
corpse is in charge of the coroner, and
his wife, in a half-drunken stupor, is
locked in the county Jail TO await de-
Yelopments. Holmes body was discOv-
cred by a neighboring farmer. Charles
Haines. 1t was lying on the floor with
a terrible cash on the head back of the
ear. and surrounded by such a guam
titv of blood that the loss was
certainly fatal. The wound appeared
to have been inflicted with an axe or
other heavy instrument, as the right
arm bore a great bruiSe, evidently in
flicted as he was warding off blow.
There were no witnesses to the tragedy,
as the murderer and victim were alone
together. The attention OF Halnes was
attracted by the wife of the murdered
man. who stood without the house ut
tering piercing shrieks that her hus-
band was diving. Haines entered the
house and found the CORY spectacle, but
was unable to extract from the wife any
account of the murderOuS assault. She
HAD REEN DRINKING HEAVILY
and could not or would not reveal what
she evidently knew. Holmes naStened
into town and lodged information. Mar
shal W. H. Brownell and Coroner Car
ZOw went to the Holmes farm and made
a thorOughin nspectiOn. Theywere equally
unable to obtain information and finally
returned to town. bringing in the wife
and lodging her in Jail. She is now still
under the influence of liquor and re-
fuses to say a word. A GLOBE re-
porter, on her arrival, endeavored to
have a conversation with her, but
her lips did not even open to
give vent to maudlin utterances.
The inquest will be held at 10 a. N. to-
morrow. but in the meantime specula-
tiOn is rife. Everything points to the
wife as the murdereSS, the strongest
evidence being the fact that though they
had lived together for long time, their
married life was stormy in the extreme
and rows and fights between them were
frequent. On one occasion she had
severely checked him, and as he was
siXty-five and she twenty years his
junior, she was his superior in physical
strength.
Samuel Holmes, the murdered man,
was a Well-tO-dO farmer of Dakota cOun-
ty. and the murder has created a wide
spread sensation, its mysterious char
acter adding to the excitement.
