A mob Of negroes faced mob Of

About II o'clock the police arrested
a negro, but the mob of negroes res

in a colored church near by. The
fire was returned and about 300 shots
were fired and the church was riddled,
but strange TO say only one person
was injured and he was awhile man.
He wasshot in the leg. The negroes

On the Subject of Assisting Russian Refu-
gees-They will be aided to Some Extent.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July s.-The Coun-
ell OF the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations met yesterday in the hall
of the Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
ton. With but one or two exceptions
the Rabbis Of the Central Conference
remained in Baltimore to attend the
Councils session.
DR.. Joseph Silberman, OF New York,
introduced a resolution requesting that
the executive committee be instructed
to cooperate with the trustees OF the
Baron de Hirsch fund, and other or
CARNATIONS that shall have undertaken
to aid Russian Israelites who
have immigrated to this country in
their quest for employment, so that
they NAV become self-supporting and
fitted for citizenship in the United
States. That the Executive Committee
be further instructed TO take such steps
as will lead to the formation or local
committees for securing remunerative
WORK for such emIgrants and for in
strncting them in American methods OF
labor.
After considerable discussion the mat
ter was finally settled by referring the
resolution 10 the Committee on Civil and
Religious Rights, which committee will
consider the Boards report. 1t was
also ordered that all matters bearing on
the same same subject, shall 60 10 that

THE CITY W THE COUNTRY.

The New York Sun, which is never so
happy as when dissecting truth with its
keen pen and showing that in reality it
is nothing but falsehood, takes the ad-
dress of Hon. WILLIAM L. WILSON, Of
West Virginia, to the University Of Vir-
cinia on the subject THE Latest Trial
of Popular Government, and attempts
to show that Mr.. WILSON is mistaken in
his estimation of city government, that
there is no more corruption n the gov
eminent of large cities than there is in
that of small country towns.
Had Mr.. WILSON taken the other side
of the discussion and labored to show
how comparatively virtuous and how
we'll managed and free from political
intrigue are the affairs of say, New
York and Philadelphia, and how cor
rupt and dishonest the governments of
the country village, how nimbly the
Sun would have leaped into the arena
to combat him! How fercely would its
brilliant rays have darted into the dark
foul hooks and corners Of the great
metropolis, where corruption testers,
dragging it forth to the public gaze,
holding il up and turning it about and

shown! And how POLITICALLY it would

Already Has Factions-The Fight Against
DonneIly in Minnesota


ST. PAUL, MINI, July s.-The State
Executive Committee of the Farmers
Alliance met Yesterday in this city, and
later a conference for the purpose OF
organizing the new Peoples party in Min
nesota was held Mr.. DOnnelly who had
been appointed chairman OF the Minneso-
ia State Committee by the Cincinnati
Convention, presented the names OF
full State Committee and hoped 1t
would be accepted. Senator Hompe,
leader of the anti-Donnelly Alliance
faction objected to the new committee
because it ignored the existing Alliance
campaign committee. He held that the
Cincinnati Convention proposed new
committees only in unorganized States,
while Minnesota was already organized.
The debate then grew warm, and finally
q motion was made for a committee OF
five to report compromise, three OF
said committee to be the three ap-
pointed at Cincinnati. Donnelly OBJ
iected strenuously. Another fight then
arose on some members OF the commit
tee. in the course Of which ex-President
r. J. Hall denounced Editor Fish, OF
the Great West as traitor, and called
him liar when the latter attempted to
defend himself. The report was
adopted, and the new State Committee
met last night.

Murder viii Ont,

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July Sat
Troy, Ala, John Johnson lies at the
point of death. His own statement is
that on Sunday night he went to church
with Miss White. When they came
back her father was asleep in the hall
and he could not get TO the young lady's
room without waking him. He went to
the room OF the girl, and was just climb
ing through the window on his hands
and knees when he was shot from the
rear. He charges that John Williams
did on previous occasions shoot at him
several times. Williams was arrested.
He is prominent merchant at Troy,
and the community is shocked at his
connection with such an affair, and
many assert his innocence.
