Threatened Uprising.

GUTHRIE. o. T., June 13.-Two
white women were assaulted here on
Saturday by negroes and one of the fell
lows was pursued and overtaken out Of
town where he was shot to death. The
colored population was greatly aroused
over the affair and this morning groups
o negroes arc standing on every cor
ner and manifest their intention to take
the city. The city is alive with armed
white men who declace that the negro
reign is at an end. The yell of de-
termincd mob is momcntarily expected
and no power on earth seems able now
to save the brutal ravisher's life, as the
mob is determined that nothing short
ola hanging will satisfy them. The
excitement is intense. Negroes are
%congrcgated on all corners and it seems
that trouble will occur at the jail.

to the President. In view of the
fact that Mr.. Aiger was hand and glove
with GARRISON Platt and Quay in their

that the latter will have any more re-

SECRETARY ELKINs said to the grad

This indicates that the President is so

the Gillian affair that if reelected he
may attempt to apply it in The case OF
other international disputes. A late
distinguished member OF the Presidents
party once expressed himself on the
floor of the T.. S. Senate as q believer
in "war, women and wine" and though
no body accuses Mr.. Harrison of en-

EX-SENATOR PALMER of Michigan
agrees with President Harrison on the
subject OF the l%atter's denomination.
When he heard of it he at once sent
him the following dispatch: God has

does strike the u~nrcgcnerate that the
federal officers, and Wall Street money,
and the cmissaries the President sent
South two months ago, contributed, at
least slightly, to the success of the OBJ

A STEER GOES TO CHURCH.-A dog
and steer formed combination which
put a sudden end to the services in the
Long Meadow Meeting House at West
minister, Conn.,, yesterday and sent the
worshippers Scurrying into the street.
The dog was doing under a wagon
when a stock dealer drove a herd of
cattle past the meeting house. The
dog awoke and ran among the cattle,
stampeding them. One steer dashed
into the church, carrying the light
green baizc door on his horns. He
rushed up the aisle, believing wildly
and throwing the worshippers into con-
sternation. He halted before he reach
ed the pulpit and stood gazing at
the pastor, who, on its entrance,
had stopped his discourse.
Every member of the church seized
the opportunity to escape, and they
rushed out, not needing the admonition
of the pastor to remain. The pastor,
left alone, jumped from the pulpit and
tried to drive the steer out. But he
did not succeed. Had he not sought
refuge in a pew where the steer could
not reach him the Infatuated animal
would have made short work of him.
He was compelled to sit perched on the
pack of o pew in a very undignifed po-
sition and watch the steerdemolish the
church property. When the animal
became tired he tsotted out, the pastor
descended from his perch, re-entered
the pulpit, and, the congregation re-
turning, he took up his sermon at the
point where it was so rudely inter-
rnntcd.

ROBBERS SECURE ST., 00O.-John Gill
son. secretary of the Judon Manutac-
turing Company, drew $4,000 in gold
and silver coin from the Bank of Brit
ish Columbia, Saturday morning, and
took the Oakland fcrryboat to cross the
bay to pay off three hundred employees
of the company at the factory and roll
ing mills, Mt Emoryvillc Station, be-
tween Oakland and Berkeley, Cal. Leav-
ing the ferryboat he took the Berkeley
train. When the train stopped at B
Street Station two men sprang aboard
and FASTENED to Gilson's scat. There,
at the point of revolvers, they %compell-
ed ellison. to give up the two sacks con-
tanning the coin.
The men then jumped from the slow
ly-moving train, and entered a buggy,
which, was subsequently asccrtained,
had been hitched ut the foot of b street
for some time during the morning, and
drove away. Gibson fired five shots
from the platform Of the train, and one
| of the men, who had his face blackened,
returned the shots, but none of them
took effect. The passengers on the
train were mostly merrymakeIs on
their way to a picnic, and were dumb
founded al the scene rapidly enacted
before them. Word was hastily sent to
Oakland, and guards were established
ON the ferryboats and on some of the
roads leading into the country, but no
thing had been seen of the men at a late
hour. The man who had his face
blackened is described as wearing blue
overalls and jumper, while the other
wore blue trowsers and a linen buster.
a theory prevails that the men were
discharged employees familiar with
Secretary Gilson's methods. At last
accounts the robbers had not been
caught.
