The Riots on NavaSsa Island.

Baltimore, Md. October 1.-The first authentic information about the recent riots on Navassa Island was received last night in a letter from Dr. c. D. Smith, the Acting Superintendent of the Navassa
 Phosphate Company, who with C.. W. Roby, the mine boss, and one other official, the only serviving of ficers of the bloody affray, have ta- ken refuge on the British man-of- war Forward, which came to their assistance. Dr. Smith writes that on the morning of the 14th inst, the negroes arose in insurrection and killed four officers-Thomas \. Foster, Jos. Fales, James Mahon and Wm. T. Shea. Roby was first assaulted in the diggings and hit on the head with clubs until left for dead. He was found in rock hole under a lot of wheeling boards. He was removed to the house and took part ip the battle with black dends after having thirty stitches taken in his scalp. He is at pres ent doing we'll. At noon the men congregated in the front of the Su- perindent's house and refused to work. When MT. Jones attempted to arrest one of the ringleaders he was knocked down, and in few seconds a bowling mob surrounded him. He managed to get to the house where the other officers had sought shelter, through volleys of rocks and other missiles hurled at him. He took refuge in the upper story of the Superintendents house and opened fire on the mob. The battle lasted three hours, with an occasional negro wounded, when the besieged were startled by the explosion of a dynamite bomb, which the negroes had thrown on the lower porch. This was soon followed by another, until there was a continual roar of dynamite. These bombs were exploding around and through the house, on the porches and in the rooms adjianing| the one which they had sought shelter. When officers attempted to seek another shelter Foster was qutchered with knives and Joseph Tales, was chopped to pieces with axes. Wm. Shea and James Mahon were also murdered. All the mur- dercd men are Baltimoreans. The negroes still have possession of the island.

The latest kind of thieves that New York has produced are men who make a business of stealing toothpicks. They lounge around the cashiers desk in large hotels and restaurants, and, when no else is looking, press their hands on the toothpicks, which are standing end up, and then withdraw their hand into a convenient pocket.

TIE Florence Enterprise is cor rect when it says: "The Republi- can Territorial Board Of Equaliza- ton did the cattlemen of Pinal county a great injustice in arbitrar- fly fixing the valuation of cattle at ten dollars per head. The cattle business is very much depressed and at a recent public sale of an excellent herd the average price received was about five dollars. A good herd of fine cattle near River side was recently sold for eight dol lars per head, while the larger DOT ton of the cattle in the county, be- ing of native stock, cannot be sold for more than one-half their assess ed valuation. The excessive rate fixed by the Board of Equalization is oppressive, and the load it adds to the present burdens of the cattle raisers will drive some of them out of the business. The industry has been carried on at a loss for the past few years and some of those whose entire means are tied up in the business are upon the verge of bankruptcy. We believe that all property should bear it's just pro- portion of taxation, but there is neither reason nor justice in select ing one class as the special object of oppression and at the same time relieving others, notably the rail- roads, from bearing just propor- tion of the public expenses"

LOOKING FORWARD Is a new week ly publication hailing from Nation al City, California; it presents a neat appearance in it's magazine form, and the subscription price is only two dollars per year. The aims of Looking Forward seems to be "the standardization of indus tries," and "the promotion of the brotherhood of humanity" At first blush this may seem to be an attempt at U opianism neverthe- less, it is eminently practical, if properly carried out upon the lines laid down in the initial number. We wish it ample success in its adopted field of action.

A SHORT time since Secretary Proctor wrote to Governor Falle, of North Carolina, in regard to the proposed removal of Geronimo and band to the western part of that state, and the Governor has replied that such settlement would create great dissatisfaction, as the land would have to be purchased from the Cherokees. Governor Falle suggested that the Indians be colo nizcd in Vermont, a portion of that state being abandoned by the white people, and says that no happier spot could be chosen for this pur- pose.

The Growth of the South.

 ly assuming proportions which makes 1t almost more marvellous than the rapid development of the West. During 5he past three and one-half years alone over 11,00O new industrial establishments have been constructed and over 5000 miles of railroad, though tits to be remembered that that section of the country was comparatively we'll served with railroads before that date. An even more tangible evi- dence that the South is adding wondrously to its resources IS the growth of the agricultural products. In the past ten years the total pro- duct gained from $571 100000 in 1871 to a modern estimate of $900,- 100000 this year and the value of the live stock, very clear index of .agrictural prosperity, which in 1879 was $391 100000 is now estimated in a conservative way at $575,000,- 900. It is undisputed that though last year showed the largest crop all over the South, ever raised up to that time, this season will far sur pass it. Not only from the indus trial journals published in the South but from every person who has oc- casion to go there, the most flat tering reports are received of the in dustrial outlook in that section.
 If the development of the iron and steel resources along the Cum berland plateau is so remarkable, as is conceded, the creation of great manufacturing belt there is inevitable, and must be followed by prosperity in all the the agricultur- al and mineral development of the South.
 The spirit of the new feeling is evidenced especially at this time in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. In Texas a growth is occurring which is but little appreciated in the North. The taxable valuation of that State is increasing faster than in any other, and it's cities and towns are rapidly assuming the as- poets of commercial centers. The agricultural condition of Texas can perhaps be best illustrated by the fact that one county in the Pan handle" which, ten years ago, dld not have over a dozen families, this year will raise more wheat than all the State of Texas a half dozen years ago. The recent visit of Pres ident Adams, of the Union Pacific Railroad, to Fort Worth, Tex, is preliminary to the gaining by that road of an outlet from Denver to the Gulf over roads already built, which will bring Denver nearer the sea coast than it is to Chicago. l The people of Texas are arousing to the advantages to be gained | from attracting trade, and we notice with pleasue several leading news papers of that State urging the es- of a State Railroad | Commission as a remedy for the friction which now exists between the people and the roads. The development of our trade with South Amerca, which is sure to be brought about within a few years will give to the South a position, commercially, which is sure to add greatly to its present prosperity. That section is naturally, in many quarters, richer than any other part of the country, and its progress, which promises to be marvellous will be watched not only with gen. 9ral interest by New England, but with special care, as it offords op- oortunity for our young men to in- vest judiciously in commercial en- erprises.-The Boston Advertiser.

HEIsEN AND WALLIS.
A Warrant-Shaver Turning the Screw
Upon the State Librarian.

A Warrant-Shaver Turning the Screws
Upon the State Librarian.
A temporary injunction has been issued
by Judge Van Fleet, at the instance OF
Charles Heisen, restraining State Librarian
Wallis from drawing his salary warrants on
the State Treasury Including that for last
month) up to April, 1890, which date will
terminate his present official services.
Heisen states in his complaint that Wallis
is insolvent and owes various sums of
money, and that he (Heisen) has been
holding the Librarians power of attorney
TO draw the latter's salary warrants, in
order to prevent him from being harrassed
by other creditors, and that he has supplied
Wallis with money at divers times, until
now the latter is indebted to him in the
sum of $1,000.
Heisen further states that Wallis has IN
dertaken to prevent the State Controller
from delivering his salary warrants to COM
plainant. Notwithstanding the latter's
power Of attorney, and this suit is brought
to enforce what he (HeisePj believes to be
his legal rights in the prsS.1ises.
In an interview with a representative of
the Bee. Wallis uses very strong language
IN characterizing the action of Heisen,
whom he accuses of crime of no less
magnitude than felony-namely, the forg-
cry of the power of attorney. He further
more denies that he owes Heisen any such
sum as the latter claims, and says that but
small balance as interest remains unpaid
