A BLOODY RACE RIOT.
Eighteen Men Killed and Wounded
In Row at a Fish Pond
in Georgia.

NASHVILLE, Tenn July 10.-A spe-
cial to the American from Griffin, Ca,
says; "A fatal race riot occurred at
Starts mill pond in Fayette county
at three o'clock this afternoon. Four
negroes were killed and six wounded,
two OF whom are reported dying.
Eight whites were shot, but it is
thought only one Of them fatally,
making eighteen in all killed and
wounded. Pete Griffin, white, lie re-
ported dangerously shot.
"a darky, selling wine on the occa.
sion, became engaged in a war of
words with a white man about the
purchase of some wine, which resulted
in the negro getting slightly cut.
From this the quarrel began and was
taken up by others, until Griffin be-
came involved with a negro who had
gun, but who did not care to use it.
Anderson Williams, another negro,
told him il he would not shoot the
damned scoundrel to give him the
gun and he would shoot him himself,
He took the gun and emptied its con-
tents into Grifin's chest and bowels,
He was Immediately shot through the
neck and died in few minutes. The
shooting then became general.
"After emptying the weapons de-
mand was made of a merchant for
more ammunition. He refused to sell,
but the infuriated rioters ran rough
shod over him and helped themselves
to all he had. There were five hun
dred people on the ground, and it is
mystery that the shooting was not
more fatal in its results.
"The crowds on both sides are being
augmented by friends, and bloodier
times are expected tonight than even
those OF to-day"

Hon. B, NJ. Hord, Commissioner of
Agriculture for this State, in response
to the desire OF capitalists and farmers
Of Ohio, recently delivered anaddress
at Dayton, that State, in the course OF
which he said There is nothing you
can ask OF Tennessee in the way OF
climate that it cannot give you, and
so remarkable is the topography OF
the State that can even direct you to
the region of any degree of humidity
you may desire, or find profitable for
any crop known to the temperate
zone.
The water OF the State is unequal
led. Mineral waters of marvellous
medicinal properties are abundant,
and the waters flow from the hills OF
Tennessee as pure and sweet as God
ever made. Apropos of this, Ten
nessee contains more miles OF naviga-
BILE water within its limits that any
other State in the Union. After the
war the old soldiers went to work
with will, and here they conquered
in the greatest battle Of the whole war.
The devastated country has sprung
into the rich enjoyment OF ten fold
greater prosperity. From the self,
made millionaire to the plodding
farmer, all are better off and happier
than any Of you on this side, and
where one farm is mortgaged in Ten
nessee to day, twenty-five are mortgag
ed north of the Ohio River. Where
there is one farm mortgaged in Ten
nessee to-day, there are fifteen mort
gagged in Kansas.

Mr.. McAdoo, OF New Jersey, one of
the gallant young Democratic leaders,
said after the vote on the election bill:
"The tremendous exertions and unfair
methods required in 1888 to regain
Republican supremacy showed the
leaders OF the party how strong the
popular feeling against them was and
how slim were their chances on an
honest and free vote. They came into
power mortgaged to every interest
that contributed money to conduct
their campaign. These interests now
demand repayment. To pay them by
tariff and subsidy legislation aug

Knoxville Tribune.
The debris Of the fallen building on
Commerce street has all been removed.
The entire space down to the ground
in the basement is nearly as clean as
a floor. For some days experts have
been examining the foundation for
the purpose OF discovering the fault
that caused the collapse. No conelu.
sion has been reached 50 far. The
foundation bricks are yet in solid
position and do not appear to be dis
turbed much. Nearly in the center
OF the basement is large cave on the
side Of which stands one Of the cup.
ports to the iron columns that held
up the floor. This support Of stone,
brick and iron has not been disturbed
by the cave hole which is nearly un-
der 1T. So it seems that it was not the
cave that disturbed the building. II
looks more like all the disturbance
was above the ground.

Said on the Fourth.

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-Gov Gordon
furnishes the following for publication,
which will apear in the Constitution
tomorrow morning.
EDITOR CONSTITUTION:
Several Northern papers, referring
to the Confederate Reunion at Chat
tanooga, have been missled and have
attributed to me expressions to which
| never gave utterance. In no speech
made by me at Chattanooga did
make any reference whatever 20
slavery or to the position of the South
or North on that subject either during,
before, or since the war. The refer
enoe to slavery is said to have been
made by another speaker at n meeting
held on the afternoon of the 4th, ut
which was not present, and therefore
do not know whether or not he has
been correctly reported. In an inn
promptu speech from the balcony Of
the Reed House, in response to calls
from large crowd of veterans assem-.
bled in the streets, did urge my Con.
federate comrades as my parting in
junction, to be as true to the Union
and TO the best interests of the whole
country in the future as they had
been TO the Confedcracy in the war.
All of my remarks were confined ex-
clusively to this line of thought, and
l repeat that / made no reference,
whatever to the subject Of slavery.
