Some Important Discoveries Re-
ported in the Far North.
GLOUCESTER. Tex, Oct. 2. - The
schOoners S. A. Babson and laurel ar
rived today from Iceland. each bringing
10000 pounds of halibut. Augustus
johnson, member of the crew of the
BabSon, was lost overheard on the
homeward passage. The Danish bark
Hogla, that had been exploring on the
coast OF Greenland. had arrived at
DyrefjOrd. Her commander reports
that the Hogla was fifteen months On
the coast OF Greenland, most of the time
imprisoned in the ice; that one of the
crew died and was buried in the Arc
tic ocean, ard that explorations
of considerable Importance were made.
The party found the remains of EsQui-
mauX habitatiOns with dishes made of
stones and other articles, the use of
which was unknown, all of which were
forwarded TO the Danish government.
The commander of the Hogla explored
the island of Janmayer in latitude II
deg north, longitude deg west, very
deep water being found in that locality.
The party dredged in 475 fathoms of
water. bringing up sentiment which con-
tanned such animal vegetation as sea
anemOne, together with pebbles similar
to iron ore. After reftting at Iceland,
the Hogla sailed Aug 2S for Greenland,
to complete the scientific researches
that she had been commissioned to do.
intending to remain all winter in South
Greenland. The officers. crew and the
scientist on board were all we'll and
hopeful of attaining much valuable in
formation.

TWO NEGROES KILLED.
Serious State of Affairs on q Mis-
siSSinDi Plantation.


CLARKsDALE, Miss, Oct. 2.-Sheriff
Harris was notified early this morning
by Deputy Fitzgerald, of Friar's Point,
to at once organize an armed posse and
proceed to the plantation of j. o. Will
kinsOn, large planter west of Bobe, a
small station eight miles south of this
place, 10 put down an insurrecti0n
among the negroes in that locality
against the whites. Sheriff Harris
promptly complied, and in short time
had an armed posse consisting Of
twenty-seven men, from this place and
Friar's Point, moving to the scene.
Authentic information has just been
received that two negroes were killed
outright and nine captured, and are
now on the way to FrIar's Point, heav-
lily guarded. In addition to the two
negro killed, several are said to be
MORALLY wounded. The negroes took
to the brush and are still out, all armed.
None of the whites are reported hurt.
From confessions made by some of
the negroes, it is learned that they have
organized an order among themselves
comprising the whole neighborh0od,
with passwords and grips, with the
av0wed purpose of killing the whites.
The greatest excitement prevails. The
negroes are thoroughly organized, and
fears are entertained that the end has
not been reached. Mr.. Sessions, man.
aver of the plantation, was fired upon
three times yesterday, but was not hurt.
The town is without telegra phic facii-
ties.

The Anti-snappers Resolve to Put
Up Ticket.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-The committee
appointed by the anti-snapper organ
ization for the purpose of advising with
the Democratic national committee on
the subject of local nominations held a
meeting at their headquarters here to-
night. Most Of the members were pres
ent, and it was decided unanimously to
90 ahead and support an independent
ticket. The following announcement
was made after the meeting by Chair
man Andrew ID. Parker:
THE committee tonight appointed a
subcommittee consisting of myself,
Isaac Klein and j. j. Quinlan. for the
purpose of comforting with other Demo-
cratic organizations on the lines indi-
Gated by the resolution previously
passed by the organization.
Much has been said about the op-
position with which the idea of third
ticket has been met by the national
committee. wish to state right here.
and the members of the committee will
back me up in what l say, that not a
word of objection or protest was raised
tee with the gentlemen of the national
committee who met Us, viz: Messrs.
Harrity, Dickinson, Smalley and
Quincy, save one member. The mn
preston has gained circulation that the
idea OF third ticket was violently op-
posed, yet only one out of the four gen.
tlemen said word in opposition.
Il wish further 10 speak OF the atti-
tude of ex-Mayor Grace. Not earlier
than last Friday night Mr.. Grace gave
his positive assurance that the nomina-
ton of a third ticket was the only
proper and wise step to take"
Mr.. Parker's statements were vigOr-
ously sustained by Messrs. Quinlan.
Slevin. Jeroloman and others who were
present. In reply to interrogations,
MI. Parker said:
Among the organizations with
which we will confer will be the County
Democracy and the German-American
Cleveland and Stevenson union. We
are well aware that the latter OrganiZa-
ton, by reason of its constitution, can
not act with us as body, but we do not
propose to treat with it as a body.
We believe, however. that they
are favorably disposed toward us, and
will 0e our active allies. AS for any re-
ported opposition in their ranks to the
third party idea, have heard of none.
On the contrary. the head of the Or
ganiZation, Oswald Ottendorter, has
stated distinctly that he was not pre-
pared to state his position as yet, and
men of no less Importance in the organ
iZatiOn than Henry Willard and Jackson
5. Schultze have declared themselves
in favor OF an independent ticket"

He Says It Is the Slaughter

He Says That the Race Track

New YORK, Oct. Before his regu-
lar sermon of today Rev. Thomas Dixon
Jr. delivered another of his character
istic talks. Today his subject was the
Garfield Race Track, . OF which he said
in part:
GARFIELD Park in Chicago has for
years openly defed the moral sentiment
of the nation. 1t has been all open
slaughter pen in which manhood, honor,
decency, truth and virtue were daily
butchered. 1t was the favored resort OF
the most desperate classes Of the scum
of the world. The people of Chicago
were recently shocked at the foul muir
der OF two policemen by a deperado
gambler on these grounds. And if the
people of Chicago tolerate such a hell
hole in their midst, wet with the blood
OF the officers of the law, they should
take down their statue in Haymarket
square and confess that civic order has
tailed after all. Garfield track is typ
ical Of the race track today. The whole
dirty business is Of the same piece. The
conscience OF this nation has outgrown
it. The race track must go as the lot
terry has gone. The plain fact is that
the lottery is Il small evil compared

THE GRANITE CUTTERS. -
Their Strike Likely to Last All
Winter

BARRE. Vt, Oct. At appears that
the contest between the granite cutters
and dealers is not yetfully settled here.
The trouble now is over tool sharpen
ers. During the five months suspen-
sion of business many dealers secured
apprentice tool sharpeners, and when
the strike was settled number of
union sharpeners were unable to Oh
tain employment, owing to several
small firms having apprentice sharpen
ers and now employing men enough
to engage another blacksmith. The
union claims that such dealers are not
standing by the next bill of prices,
which provides for one apprentice tool
sharpener to each journey man sharp
ener. The union says that the firms
employing no jOurneymen and one APP
prentice sharpener are breaking the
agreement. 1t is understood that the
union strike committee has the matter
in hand. A few cutters have already
left the sheds where the trouble exists.
The dealers say they will not discharge
apprentices 10 please the blacksmiths.
1t IS thought that if the men are ordered
out again the strike will last all winter.
