A NEGRO OUTRAGE.
Drunken Colored Excarsionists From Bal
timore Raise Row and Fire Upon
lnoffendlng White People In
Accomac County.

OSANcocY, VA, August l9.-About four
hundred cOlored excursionists, from Bal
timore, arrived here yesterday morning on
the steamer Helen, Captain Smith, OF the
Eastern Shore line, 20 attend the colored
Methodist camp-meeting now going on at
Savageville, two miles south of OnancOck.
The steamer was chartered for the occa-
sion by y committee Of cOlorcd men, at the
head of which was Phillip Finney, formerly
Of Accomac. On their way down the bay
Saturday night, many of the c1cursionists
were under the Influence Of liquor, and
made things lively on board the steamer.
A barroom was in operation on the boat
and liquor flowed freely.
just before they reached Cris6eld some
of the machinery about the steamer broke
and several Of the drunken and Infatuated
negroes laid the blame of the accident on
Phillip Finney and swore they would throw
him into the bay, but Finney escaped from
them and took refuge in the pilot house.
On arriving at the camp-grounds some
of them became involved in several rows,
in which clubs, knives, and razors were
freely used, and three or four were cut
and painfully bruised.
Most of the excursionists returned to
Onancock in the afternoon, to take the
steamer back to Baltimore. There were
about fifteen or twenty white persons at
the wharf About the time the steamer
was to leave, drunken negro attempted
to pull white boy OFF one of the piles on
tho wharf. Several white men went to the
assistance Of tho boy, and the negro was
taken in hand by his friends and carried
on board the steamer.
At this some of the negroes on the upper
: deck began to curse and abuse the white
men in an outrageous manner. A young
white man struck ut one Of the negroes
on the boat with cane, wherenpon the
negroes began to throw canes, chairs, ana
other missiles at the white men on the
wharf, and several of the negroes drew
pistols and began to fire at the white peo-
pie, among whom were many children.
The white men were nnarmcd and un-
prepared for difficulty, but many OF them
seized brick -bats and let them fy at the
negroes, knocking some down and smash.
Ing several windows on the upper deck.
The town sergeant, who was on the wharf,
did what be could to stop tho difficulty,
but the negroes grew more and more yio-
lent and kept up q steady Are on the white
men, who we're forced to find shelter be-

wharf.

wharf 80 soon as possib ls. The negroea

A DisGRAcEFUL SITUATION.

HAZARD, KY, August l9.-Thc court
which has been in session here for some
time will adjourn without doing anything.
The troops find it impossible to serve pro-
ceSses, or make arrests, because the GRIM
nals are secretly notified Of their move
ments by the county officers. Several

Walcott, made rapid march Of ten miles

that Y ne did not get it, he would come in

The fellow went out without the whisky,
and at two o'clock at night, without notice
to any one, Capt. Gather left camp with
nine men, crossed the river just back Of
the quarters and moved over the noun
tains. The squad reached the place just
before day, and as soon as it was light
enough to distinguish objects, they moved
on the house, to find it occupied only by
women and children. A fresh horse track
disclosed the fact that Davidson had
escaped before the guard got there. An
other party of six men. under Lieut. Bonita,
was sent to troublesome, starting Mt 9
o'clock p. M, to arrest some parties there,
but have not returned.
Jim Fox got to town to-day and reports
that while coming in last night with his
wife, Nose Whitaker and Bob Riley, they
were fired on Dy two parties in ambush
He was shot through the coat and vest
and his wife through her dress Riley was
badly wounded Mrs. Fox says she saw
Riley throw his hands to his back and
fall.
Over one thousand indictments will be
found at this term of the court, but con-
yictions will be very few. The case Of
Wilson Baker, for killing Browning is now
pending. The county is strongly republic
can but the democrats carried il at the
last election, a democratic sheriff and
clerk being elected. 1t is doubtful. how
ever, if they will live very long. Combs,
the new sheriff, says he is going to do his
duty, but if he does, his career will be
very short. The situation is disgraceful
in the extreme.

ChrIstIana and aehtlles.
From the Hebrew Journal,

Christians are not Gentiles. They are
a religious sect, God-fearing sect. They
are the followers Of the teachings Of Jesus
of Nazareth, who was himseIf-aside from
his peculissities-a God-fearing man.
-Gentiles Nere idolaters or pagans, who
were called by the Hebrews by the name
of COIN, and the Christians called them
Gentiles. In the New Testament We
find it repeatedly. Jews and Gentilcs are
often mentioned. Now it seems that the
use of tho word Gentle in connection
with the Christian people is an unjust
missioner, and yet some thu best Chris

Judge Bolin, Of the Fifteenth Judicial
Circuit of Virginia.


Circuit of Virginia.
The officers Of the four companies
above named are restrained from disposing
of any of the property, moneys, or other
assets of the said companies, by an in
injunction granted by Judge Bolin.
By an order of Judge John A. Kelly,
of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit the
decree of Judge Bolin, of the Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit, is suspended till the 18th
of August, in 30 far as it requires the
receiver to said companies to give them
an opportunity to apply for dissolution
of the injunction granted by Judge Bolin.
Application was made to Judge Bolin,
of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, to revoke
the modifying order of the judge OF the
sixteenth circuit, and also for rule against
the parties who took forciblc possession Of
the railroad building, then in file hands Of
Judge Bolin's receiver, to show cause why
they should not be punished for contempt
of court.
Judge Bolin granted the rule against the
parties to show cause and cited the parties
to appear before him &C Abingdon yester-
day, and also fixed that day to hear the
motion to revoke Judge Kelly's order.
In answer to said rule the parties charged
with contempt appeared before His Honor
yesterday and pleaded to the jurisdiction
of the judge, whereupon His Honar de-
cided that he had no Jurisdiction to hear
cases of contempt outside of his own cir
cult and in vacation, and discharged the
rule.
The motion to revoke Judge Kclly's
modifying order was, also, 3ot within his
jurisdiction; and he continued the hearing
Of exceptions thereto to Marion, on Thurs
day next, when and where he will hold a
regular term Of Judge Kely's court, the
latter judge being sick and unable to sit.
Another rule against the rites in con-
tempt will be obtained at ".c, rcturnable
for hearing at the regula' 1-rm of court
in Washington county, Commencing the
fourth Monday in September.
The defendants have given notice that
they will move Judge KY to dissolve
Judge Bolin's injunction and to discharge
his receiver on the 26th inst. in vaction.
AS Judge Bolin holds that the judge of
another circuit has no jurisdiction Of the
case in vacation, and Judge Kelly has de-
clared that he will not be able to hear the
motion on account Of sickness, his order
suspending Judge Bolins decree for twenty
days is likely to expire by its own limita-
ton.
The confusion in this case is due to the
fact that two circuit judges are sitting on
the case ut the same time.

THE CONTESTED ERECTION CASES.
Especial 10 the Dispatch.)

WAsulSeroy, August l9.--Tho advocates
nc the foren bill continue to denouncc
senator QUAY as a traitor" because he
proposes TO sidc-track that infamous
measure that is becoming almost as un-
popular in the North rs in the South, but
the PENNSYLVANIA keeps right ahead, and
Ia said that either tomorrow or in the
near future he will press his resolution to
wind up the session next month without
including the election bill as one of the
measures thu, shall be pressed to passage.
Mr.. QUAY has an important point 10 work.
Fl. is chairman of the National Rcpubli-
can Committee, and if he lives is going to
hold on to the place until after the meet
ing of the next national convention of his
party. He expects to be pretty thick
with the man who will receive the repub-
lican nomination for the presidency in
1892, and even if the nominee is not
millionaire he will need the money of the
millionaires to put him through, and
QUAY would rather have o big campaign
fund than to have the uncertain adyan-
tace that the hot-heads claim the party
would enjoy were the force bill to be
passed and put in operation Mr.. Quay
realizes that the rich men on whom he
will have to rely are more anxious to have
the tariff bill passed than dozen force
bills, and Quay is of the opinion that the
moneyed republicans want this strife and
contention to cease, the tariff bill to DO
put through, and the radicals squclched,
80 that the development of the country
regardless Of section can 60 ahead.
DETERMINED TO KILL 1T.
Nr. QUAY thinks that it will be bad pol
itics to press the force bill, and be seems
determined to kill the measure, and ho
will do it according to present Indications.
The abuse that is being heaped upon him
by the radical republican organs will
rather spur on Mr.. Quay than whip him
into line.
The House took up to-day the Chalmers
Morgan contestcd-election case and the
notorious General Chalmers made speech
of considerable length. He Was about as
severe on the republicans as he was on the
democrats, and said there was no more
sense in seating McDufie, Fcatherstone,
and others who are drawing salaries that
the people voted to democrats. Old man
Kelley, of Kansas, made motion tc re-
commit the case to the committee on cleo
tons with instructions to throw out GER
tain precincts, or, in other words to seat
Chalmers. The election committee with
but one e1ccption--Houk, of Tennessee
signed the report declaring that Judge
Morgan, the sitting member, was untitled
TO the seat which he now occupies. Thir-
ty-one Of the republicans voted for Kel-
ley's motion.

A WRITER on the Thieves of New
York, in the Cosmopolitan, states that
there are $500 professional thieves in
that crime infested city, and states
that the first cause of all their exploits
is abject want. 1t is necessity with
them, and generations grow up and are
educated to such life, until it has be-
come so familiar that it is not regarded
unnatural, and experts are regarded
among these classes with the same con-
sideratiOA that other classes admire
genius in art or music. In support of
his theory that crime is hereditary the
writer cites the case of one degraded
woman, of whose 623 descendants 200
were criminals of various sorts, This
is in direct line of Col Ingersoll's argur
ment, who as a remedy, recommends
that criminals be banished and the sex
es separated. If it be true that thieves
are driven to their calling by want, the
theatre of these $500 would afford a
wide field for the operations of char
liable and humane societies, The I'M
fOrtunateS are creatures of circum,
stances, and whatever might be done
by societies or individuals to ameliorate
the condition which destroys their
bodies and condemns their souls would
be quite as worthily bestowed as in re
claiming the barbarous natives of re-
mote lands. Indeed such a tester in
the center of American civilization is
of sufficient Importance to claim the
interest of the whole people.

former has lost no opportunity to speak
of Growers increasing avoirdupois, and
one of the latest reports is that the fat

that Dana is senile old liar and

truth. The democracy is very natural

OLD line democrats are very mad at
Gov. Boies. In the majority of his APP
pointments he has favored political
spec ulatOrs, namely mugwumps and
turn coats, to the exclusion of those
who were rocked in democratic cradles.
The latest offense he has committed
was in expressing his intention of re-
tanning Mrs. Miller as state librarian.
The governor argues that the position
should be regarded as partisan. He
considers the incumbent as fully com
petent. In this opinion the people of
the state will concur, but the ward
hustlsrs who are not in receipt of the
promised spoils are kicking like the
hybrid animal in government service.
