CONVICT LABOR vs.. FREE
Cowardly Guards at the Inman
Mines.
Convict Lab0rers Returned From
the Tennessee Mines.
They are Put Upon the Cars With Their
Guards and Sent to Nashville.
The Stockades not
Burned.

By the Associated Press.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug 1b..-Early
this morning 500 miners met at White
hall and proceeded to Inman, where 250
convicts are at work in the iron mines
Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
way company. On the train were forty
unarmed guards going to Inman to in
crease the guard there. About loo
miners took charge OF the guards, and
the remainder went forward to the
stockade, determined to burn it and
turn the convicts over to the guard and
send them out of the country on the
train.
This is the last heard of them, as the
telegraph wires have been cut, but it is
supposed that they carried out their
purpose. The forty whom they inter-
cepted were sent out last evening from
Nashville by Governor Buchanan.
Later - The. train stopped on the
trestle near Whitehall and the car with
the guards in it was cut off. A move
was then made on to Inman and 282
convictt and twenty-seyen guards were
taken prisoners, without resistance, by
the mob. The prisoners were marched
to Victoria, loaded on hiars and hurried
away by switch enginag.. The .stockade
was not burned and K6 damage was
done to the property OF the company. The
convicts have been sent to Nashville.
Everything is quiet at Inman and the
members of the mob are returning to
their homes.
A Times correspondent, sent to the
scene of this mornings outrage, says
the guards could have kept off the riot
ers, but displayed great cowardice. A
second mob assembled at Inman this
afternoon, and, armed with axes, prac-
tically demolished the stockade. One
side was cut down, the roof crushed in,
and the interiors OF all the houses are in
ruinss and the dining hall wrecked. Fire
was not used for fear of burning the rail-
road trestle and several private build
ings.
NASHVILLE Aug. 15.-The convicts
from the Inman mines arrivedshere to-
| night and we're taken to the peniten-
'tiary. Neither the governor nor the
company's officials have as yet decided
upon what course they will now pursue.

In the Indian camp on the Grand
Ronde river are seventeen marriageable
Indian girls, some of whom want white

Hundreds Of heads and arms
were seen in the water, struggling
to catch hold of anything that could be
found. The fight Of many to throw off
those clinging around them, and the
shrieks of women and children,
all combined, make a scene that Dore

report many unhappy victims now lying
in mass in the saloon of the Ajax,
with bodies and faces disfigured and
distorted to an extent dreadful to be-

the date of the Republican National
League convention, hitherto called for
Buffalo, September 1st, until September

been added at the top the reversal is

father, Francis Morris, of Throg'e Neck,
N. Y, spent over half million dollars
in breeding horses, and in all his life
never bred nor owned a horse that
could make Lexington extend himself.
He owned, at one time, half interest,
by purchase, in Lecompte, the only
horse that ever made Lexington extend
himself, but Lexington was just as able
to beat Lecompte as the latter horse
was able to beat anything else. They
ran together three times, and Lexington
won twice out of the three.

jesse Hanson, by Roger Hanson, is a
trotter that went out of the season of
1891 with record of 2:2116. This year
he has been among the very best of the
second class trotters. He got record
of 2:17M at Rochester last week, laying
up the two first heats and winning the
last three, all inside of 2:20. Roger
Hanson is by Alta, son of American
Clay and his dam is by Edwin Forrest

he has not drop of Hambletonian

called Julien, crowded Sleipner, who
was on the inside, hard against the

horse had completely broken his stride,

run into second place. There was a
claim of foul, but it was not allowed,
and the crowd hooted the judges de-

Ashes for Pigs.

1t has been noted by pig-feeders that
health and thrift are prolonged to
remarkable degree by allowing con
stant access to ashes, and IL salt is
mixed with them the effect is still more
marked, and the composition is partaken
of with greater relish. All feeders who
have tried it pronounce the benefits IN
mistakable and results most gratifying.
Prof. Henry made some experiments 10
this line, and the following is what
came of it:
Three pigs were taken at Eve months
of age and closely confined and fed
cornmeal and hardwood ashes for sIz
weeks. During this time they gained
51s pounds each per week, and con-
sumed 2Sk pounds of cornmeal per
week. For thirteen weeks thereafter
they were fed no ashes whatever, and
fell off in the consumption of cornmeal
to the average Of 1871 pounds each pei
week. Several other experiments were
tried, all showing the same approxi
mate results"
