A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
A Millionaire HOrseman and Two
Chicago Policeman Dead.
Jim Brown Stays Policeman Powell and
Mcdowell, and is Himself Shot to
Pieces at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. James NJ.
Brown, millionaire horseman of Fort
Worth, Texas, killed policeman John
Powell and Henry Mcdowell and
was himself shot to death by the
officers at Chicago yesterday.
The tragedy grew out Of the third
raid of the police on Garfield Park,
which they are attempting to close
OH the ground that it is an unlicensed
track and productive OF public i'm
morally. The officers of the track
who could be found were quickly
placed under arrest and then raid
was made on the stables for the horse
men. Brown, who had a string OF
horses at Garfield Park, was on top OF
stable. He had sworn that he
would die before he would submit 10
arrest. Powell and Mcdowell ar
preached him and demanded his sur
render. He told Powell he would
not be arrested. Powell climbed up
to where he was standing and Brown
then jumped down and walked OIL
rapidly toward the gate leading out
of the grounds. Powell followed him
and commanded him to halt. He
paid no attention to the command
Powell then fired over his head. In
an instant Brown wheeled, drew his
pistol and fired. Powell fell dead
without tremor.
Mcdowell then gave chase. Brown
ran down the street with the oflceI
in quick pursuit. Finding that he
was about to be overtaken, the fugi'
tive ran around an unfinished house
The officer went around the other
way and they met in n narrow alley
The officer cOlIared his prisoner and
a terrible struggle ensued, in which
Brown was about to be overpowered,
when he finally succeeded in placing
his pistol to McDowell's body, and
pulled the trigger. Mcdowell fell to
the ground mortally wounded,
but calamity raised himself
on his elbow and emptied his pistol
into the body of his murderer. In
the meantime a dozen policemen who
had come up, fired about the same
time, Kidding Brown with bullets. 1t
will never be known whose shot pro-
duced effect first. Browns body was
taken to the morgue and PowelPs to
h home. Mcdowell is still alive
but will not recover.

MR.. HARRISON of the White
House has written letter accepting
the nomination of the Republican
party. This is no surprise to the
country; everybody believed he
would. Neither is it a surprise that
the-letter has more words than mean
ing in it. Neither is it surprise
that Mr.. Harrison talks about the
outrages at the ballot box in Alabama
and other southern states. 1t is
very well known that Mr.. Harrison
and his party are very much out
ragged at the outrageous way
the southern states have of
going Democratic; and this same Mr..
Harrison and his party are very
anxious to outrage these same states
by putting black heels on white
necks This is their pride of the past,
the work for the present and their
hope for the future. This is all very
well understood by the average read
err, and is DO surprise to the country
at large. The only surprise growing
out of the situation is that some
people living in the South will assist
in this nefariOus work by combining
with the Republican party.

A MAN may be famous and infa-
nous at one and the same time. The
readers OF daily press should not feel
envious OF the Messrs. Sullivan and
Corbett for the column upon column
devoted to these ferocious animals.
A bull fight and the bulls would be
az much talked about. Another
thing you may be sure of; the papers
would not publish all this stun II the
readers did not like it. Educate
your boys and girls against sensation
al reading and the papers OF the
next generation will not dignity
su.,b brutes as Sullivan and Corbett
bv the slightest mention. But how
ia II now? When the Alice Mitchell
case WAS on trial, the ladies were as
eager as the men to read. the rich,
rare and racy evidence; and, judging
nv the eagerness with which they
Iooked forward to what was supposed
- be coming, we conjecture they.
we're more or less disappointed that
'.han 4 came it was not as rich anS
rncv AZ was expected.

AN exchange says that "Mr'
Stanley has recommended Africa as
a fine market for old clothes, and Mr..
NIXON, recently back from Adamawa,
reports a demand for a time-hOnored
article not seen every day outside OF
museums. He says he saw many OF
the cavalry there wearing metal ar
NOR, much battered by time ard
usage, genuine relics of the middle
ages in Europe, that had been carried
into the depths of Africa by Arab
traders" Such time worn chest
nuts as the "mOther-iG-law" and ice
cream girl ought to be in demand in
Adamawa. We suggest that market
to the dealers in such jokes.

mn RFsI7T-T n 'ATKANsAs,

Arkansas has gone Democratic by
the unusual majority of 10000. 1t is
the first State in which there has
been an election showing the strength
of the Republican and Third party
fusion, and, therefore, gives presage
of what may be expected from the
same combinations elsewhere.
The result is most gratifying. Not
only has Democracy held its own,
but it has actually won by an in
creased majority. Its opponents
have been completely knocked cut
the first round. 1t shows that the
Democrats of the South know bet
ter than to enlist under any other
banner while the battle for white
supremacy is on.
The motives of self interest which
bind together the carpet Dagger and
would be Third party leaders, are
too apparent to deceive honest aud
intelligent white men after they
have given the combination their
serious consideration. This is shown
ginning of the campaign it was
claimed that the farmers would go
in immense numbers to the Third
party. But many a discontinued
man makes rash threats in his impa-
thence which his cooler judgment
teaches him not TO carry out. They
have seen that the evils from which
we all suffer are not to be charged to
Democracy, and that if they are to
be removed at all it must be done by
the Democratic party, that the RENE
dies proposed by wild-eyed theorists
would be worse than the disease
itself.
So it will be everywhere through
out the South by the time of the fall
elections. When our people calmly
consider the responsibility they in
cur in casting their ballots, some OF
the worst indictments of August will
be the straightest Democrats OF
! November

THE COAL "BAR0NS."

Last week the meetings of the East ern and Western sales agents of the an- thracite coal producing companies were held in New York city
 The Western sales agents met and adopted au advance, to take effect June 1st, of 25 cents net ton on all coal shipped by water from Buffalo and Erie, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Du- luth and on coal going from these points into the interior of the country by rail.
 After the adjournment of the meet ing above mentioned, the Eastern sales agents held their meeting and decided to advance the price of chestnut coal 15 cents a ton. The allotment for June was increased to 5000, ,00O tons, against 2, 750. 900 tons, to which the output had been restricted for May. The produc- ton of coal last year in June was about 3, 100000 tous. This advance of 15 cents puts chestnut coal, as far as the dealers are concerned, on the same ba- sis as nut, egg and stove. There was some little opposition to making these advances. it being urged against it that this course would stir up public opinion anew against the coal combination.

TWELVE DEAD IN HARPER.

Another Kansas Town in the Cyclone's
 Terrible Clutches.
 HARPER, Kan, May 30.-The cyclone that devastated the city of Wellington reached this town about three hours later. The munication with the outside world cut off. At present twelve people are dead and many more are not accounted for. The list of the dead is as follows:
 Mrs. F. A. Beatty and child, Mrs. James B. Gallagher and child, - Mallory, a child. Henry Smith crushed at the Rothschild's block; Henry Stivers, laborer, married, killed by flying bricks; J. H. Straihan, banker, crushed to death; William Steven son, neck broken; Mrs. John M. Tomlin, baby and child. Mrs Tomlin died from apoplexy, caused by fright.
 The injured arc numbered by the score, and at least thirty people are missing. Hardly building in the town escaped de- struction. In the Ebbett hotel there were at least thirty guests, and many of these cannot be accounted for. The big Roth schild building, just completed and the pride of the town, was torn to pieces in an instant. Fifty dwellings were smashed into kindling wood, and most of them were piled in one spot near the opera house, which was lifted bodily forty feet and dropped with in block of it's site, where it fell to pieces. The cyclone took a locomotive that stood near the depot and deposited it in creek half mile away. The Catholic and Ger man churches were demolished, and the Baptist and Christian churches were greatly injured.
