ATTACKED BY A MOB.
Negroes Fire Upon a Company Of
Militia.

PADUCAH, KY, July 13.-While
the city council was in session, the
chief of police lbrew a bomb In
their midst by announcing re-
port had just reached him that 200
or 300 negroes, armed with Win
chester rifles, had congregated in
the vicinity of the Jail prepared for
an attack. The council at once ad-
journed. The mayor sent a dispatch
to the governor, asking him to or
der out Company G. of the state
guard, located here. The sheriff
has charge of a posse Of 80 or 20 men
armed with shotguns and revolvers
procured from various hardware
stores. The underlying cause of the
uprising was the hanging of Charles
Hill, a negro who made an assault
on Lydia Starr some weeks ago.
The negroes have been secretly OBJ
tanning arms for some time, and
something of this kind has been
looked for at almost any time. The
immediate cause of the outbreak is
the arrest Of "a colored man named
Thomas Burgress, At / 80 O'Clock
the marshal and may or returned to
The jail from a round of the squads
of negroes, who, when the mayor
and marshal promised that no vio-
ience would be done the prisoners in
jail, promised to disperse and began
to do so. The marshal addressed
the crowd of white people and told
them to 90 home, as the negroes
were dispensing and no violence was
feared. The people began to do SO,
and in few minutes the crowd was
reduced to the militia and about 40
armed citizens.
AT 12o'clock a band of rs negroes
suddenly appeared, marching down
Sixth street, and opened fire upon
the men collected at the Jail. AT
the first fire Elmer Edwards, q
young man about 20 years of age fell,
shot through the abdomen. He is
now dying. He was member Of
the militia company. The fire was
returned by the militia and armed
citizens, and the negroes beat re-
treat. The militia also r, treated in
disorder back to the courthouse,
where they kept up firing until the
negroes disappeared down the street.
The negroes retreated to the Odd
Fellows lodge, which has been their
chief headquarters. The police have
arrested and placed in Jail over so
negroes, who were found carrying
arms, and they were guarded to pre-
vent any attempt to release them.
The mortal wounding of young Ed
wards has aroused storm Of indig-
nation that is kept from breaking
out only with difficulty, and an at
tempt to avenge his death is almost
certain to be made.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 13.-After
the skirmish between the troops and
negro mob at Paducah, both sides
retired, the whites to the courthouse
and the negroes to Odd Fellows
ball. 1t was decided to make no
effort to dislodge the blacks until
morning. No report las been re-
ceived since daylight. 1t is believ-
ed the negroes separated just before
day.

The Situation at Wardner.

SPOKANE, July l3.--Review specia
from Wardner, Idaho, says every
thing is quiet tonight, but it is the
quletude of determination and de-
speration. The strikers have had "A
day of uninterrupted victory, They
are In complete possession of the
mines and mills of Bunker Hin, Sui
livan,and Sierra Nevada. Non.union
men have been driven out of the
oountry,and union men flushed with
victory talk of meeting the militia
and regular troops and lighting
them with rifle and dynamite. The
Bunker Hin aud Sullivan mine Is
loaded with dynamite, and could be
destroyed upon momeul's notice.
Last night II was reported that a
car of dynamite has been seut down
the railroad track for the purpose Of
blowing up bridges of the Union Pa
ciilc and preventing troops from
coming into the country. Excite.
nent here IL intense, and all sorts of
rumors are ailoat.

will be here about ten days, IL Is
said; they will be maintained at an
expense of $40, 1000 day. How long
will tax payers stand that? Aud
when the troops go away, as even
tually they must, how will the sltu-
alton be changed.
No rations were provided for the
soldiers, and accordingly they were
permitted to go into town to get
meals. Theyresult was that every
body, soldiers and strikers did a
great deal too much drinking.
Everv saloon was crowded to its
fullest capacity. In consequence
more drunken men were to be seen
on streets than were visible alto
gether in the past week. Some
soldiers loudly declared they would
stack their au4ns if called upon to
protect Pinkertou or non-union
men. The militia will be no dis
turbers of the peace, and the only
reason for ordering out the entire
National guard is believed to be
intended TO combine the annual en-
campment with the preservation OF
the public peace at Homestead. An
impression therefore is prevalent
that the militia are here to stay
three or four weeks at least, and the
battle between the strikers and
mill owners Is now one OF endur'
anaa

OREGON CITY July l3.-A petition
is being circulated in Oregon City

him to call special session of court

THE WORD WHITE"
Testimony of Colored Men Thought
to Be Competent.

BOSTON, July l3.-Regarding the
clause in the Chinese exclusion act
requiring that the identity of a
Chinese resident must be established
by the testimony of credible
"white Witness" the following let
ter from President Harrison was
received by Butler r.. Wilson col
ored lawyer of this city:
My Dear Sir: L have your letter
of June 20, and would have answer
ed sooner but for the great press of
other matters. Senator Dolph, of
Oregon, who was on the conference
committee that framed the modi-
fled bill. assured me the use OF the
term "white" was mere Sip in the
haste that characterize the legisla
tion at the last session by reason of
the fact Of the expiration of the
previous exclusion laws, so near at
hand. The whole scope of legisla-
tiOh ShoNS iltIc Coulu nave uttu uO
purpose to distinguish between black
and white witnesses. | conferred
with the encouragement upon the
subject before signing the bill, and
he agreed with me. The courts in
view of these facts, especially in view
of the amendments to the constitu-
tiou, would so construe this statute
rs to MAKE no discrimination be-
tween black and white witnesses.
In this status of the case l did not
feel justified in Withholding my sig
nature from the bill aud thus bring
ing all restriction upon Chinese
immigration to an end. | am sure
our colored people, so largely engag-
ed In industrial pursuits, would not
have desired that. 1t is quite posi-.
BILE amendments or a joint resolution,
expressing plainly the intention of
congress in this connection, may be
secured at this session. Mr.. Dolph
has already moved in the matter as
you will have noticed.

cease The family was quite large one,
and being in somewhat Strengthened cir
cumstances the children assisted In its

success and thrift of his after life:
When the deceased was about 1S years OF
age the family removed to this town,
where his father purchased or hoyal
Vaughn some forty years ago the farm
which has since remained in the family
name. William soon followed the family,
assisting upon the farm till his fathers
death, when IL came into his own posses
sion. Honest, industrious and skillful in
the conduct of his chosen occupation he
was good type of the New England
farmer OF to-day.
The esteem in which he was held is in
dicated by the fact that besides filling
many minor Offices he was several times
elected to the Town Council serving on
that board from 1877 to 1886 with an in
terim of two years Although n staunch
Democrat Mr.. Madison repeatedly drew
support from other political parties. Mr..
