Gang OF Negroes.


The Marshal Probably Fatally Cut by
Gang or Negroes
ATLANTA, GA, June 14-There was an
ugly riot at Salt Springs late last night, In
which two white men were stabbed by
drunken negroes. Marshal Caldwell was SO
seriously hurt that he has since been unable
to speak, and the probability seems to
be that he cannot recover. Postmaster
John Bowden, the other victim
of the ARRAY. is less seriously injured
About IL O'Clock a large party of negro
men full of mean whisky began disturbing
the peace Of the village by most unruly
conduct The marshal undertook to subdue
the turbulent band. He met with deter
mined resistance. and a fight followed.

Caldwelrs assistance.
NEGROES DRAW THEIR BARLows.
The negroes used their knives almost from
the first, and might have killed the two
white men on the spot had not the noise of
the struggle brought out a number Of citi-
zens. These turned the tide OF battle, dis
persed or arrested the rioters and bestowed
upon tho wounded men the attention they
stood 80 much In need of. Six Of the negroes
were arrested, marched to the jail at Doug
lasville and locked up.
AN ARREST AT ATLANTA.
To-day George Milton, black who is
believed TO have had hand IN the business,
fell into the hands of the Atlanta police.
When taken he was bloody almost all over,
but bad not been hurt. He denied that he
had taken part in the ARRAY, though
admitting that he spent the day
at Salt Springs, where he went
with a companion TO fish. He said he heard
OF the riot and vowed that he saw l, 900 men
with Winchester rifles. He attempted to
account for the blood on his garments by
the assertion that his nose had been bleed
ing. At last accounts the marshal's con-
dition remained as desperate as at first.

Invite Defeat Thereby.

Senator Pugh publishes letter in
Birmingham, Alabama, in which he
opposes the denomination of Cleve-
lal,d in 1892. He asserts that the
single issue OF tariff upon which
Cleveland fought his campaign
against Harrison is no stronger now
than it was then. The tariff, he as
serts, is not paramount to all other
issues, and he declares that Camp
bel! lost the fight in Ohio by running
away from the silver question.
The free silver is-uc, he contends,
is as important rs the tariff issue,
and he says that the new Cleveland
cry has been raised by those who
wish to dispose Of silver.
Mr.. Pugh says Harrison has been
Strengthened with his party since
the election, while Cleveland ha.
made no progress in that direction
He adds that il the Democracy wish
to invite defeat they will nominate
Cleveland.

There is q whole sermon. q lesson
in political economy and an issue
big enough to fight out a national
upon in this short para
graph TO which the reform papers
are giving a wide publicity.
ain 1868 the amount of Our ma
tional debt was S2,610, ,G00.oO0.
Wheat was worth S1.59 per bushel,
cotton 10 cents a pound, pork s51
barrel. We could have pad the
national debt then with 81 400, 001, ,o5o
bushels of wheat, 100,00O,0e0 bar
rels of pork or 100000 bales OF
cotton. Since 1868 we have pad IN
dollars 81, 48O,0 900 of the public debt,
and there is now left in dollars to
pay s1,130 900, 900. But wheat, cot
ton and pork have gone down in
price. It would take as many b. sn-
els OF wheat, as maay bales OF cot
ton, as many barrels OF pork, a.
many days labor to pay the balance
now due of 81 ,130, 100000 rs vHulc

L. l.. Polk wa. in Raleigh on the
3Oth ultimo for the first time since
the Indianapolis convention. When
asked about the reports of "splits,"
"going over to the Third Party"
etc, he said there was not a word of
truth in the reports. The convention
was large and enthusiastic and more
harmonious meeting was never held
IN the United States. He further
said, sThe Third Party was not men
toned i'm the convention at all, and
the body never gave it a single
thought" When asked about the
state nent that he would move his
family to Washington he said there
was no truth in the re port, and that

he had seen yet and he intended to
stay here. He will return to Wash

do so, said:
