ALL QUIET AT WILDWOOD.
The Military From Tampa Return to
Their Homes.

Everything was quiet at Wildwood. Fla
yesterday The Tampa and Ocala Rifles ar
rived, but as there were no negroes to be
found and all was quiet. they returned to
their homes.
While everything was quiet, there was
some feeling of uneasiness and the white
people were on the lookout that they might
not be surprised should there be another at
tempt made on the town by the negroes.
Isaiah Ryan is the only negro now known
to have been killed. If any negro was
wounded by the firing except Abe Lam
bright, who was arrested, it has been kept
very close from the whites. Six Of the ne
groes who were leaders and took part in the
riot have been arrested and taken by Sheriff
Chapman to Sumterville jail, Coleman Lam
bright, jeff McCallister, Anderson Brown,
Rufus Brown, Lon McCallister and Jim
Tigers.
Jesse Lambright. the leader. is still at
large While there are great many others
implicated, the Lambrights, Adams, Gibbs
and McCallister were the leaders and in
stigators, and laid the plans TO- the riot.
Armed men are now in the surrounding
county looking for Jesse Lambright and
others.
The white people are thoroughly aroused
and every effort will be made to bring the
guilty parties to justice for their crime. 1t
is thought that all danger is now past. On
ly two white men were hurt. Ira Smith,
who was wounded on the night Of the 25th,
is resting easier. and the doctor thinks there
Is hope now of his recovery. Rube Caruth-
ers was also wounded, but not seriously.

THE KEEPERS ARE SAFE.



II has been ascertained that no lives were
lost by the burning Of Lower Cedar Point
lighthouse in the Potomac river a narra-
tive Of which was given in yesterdays Star.
Lightkeeper Benjamin Grimes was ashore
at the time Of the fire, and Assistant Keeper
Field was alone when the fire broke out.
He says that he can form no idea as to the
origin of the fire. He was in the lower
part Of the building when he became con-
scfous that the structure was burning. and
almost simultaneously he was made aware
Of the fact that the entire building was in
flames.
After taking In the state Of affairs. he saw
that he had no chance to make an investi-
CATION, and that IT would be useless for him
20 attempt to extinguish the flames. He at
once clambered down the side of the piling
n a rowboat moored at the side Of the light
house and rowed ashore.
Yesterday afternoon Field visited the office
of the lighthouse board in this city, and
made a report to Chief Clerk johnson. Mr..
johnson made a number of inquiries Of the
assistant keeper, but his answers were SINH
lar to the particulars in the foregoing state
ment, and he informed that official that he
fire.
The lighthouse engineer and the light
house inspector stationed at Baltimore left
in the Fgbt-tender Maple for the purpose
Of making an investigation in regard to the
circumstances Of the fire. They will submit
a report of the result Of their investigation
at Washington in a few days.

GEN. HARRIsON's BOOM.
His Indiana Opponents to Support
Gov. Mckinley.

Gov. Mckinley.
Politicians in Indiana who mixed In the
fractional fight of the Harrison and anti
Harrison forces two years ago are prepar-
ing to renew the struggle. All of those ele-
ments which opposed the ex-President at
that time have now combined, and the indica-
lions are that they will support Mckinley
as against Harrison. Recent developments
indicate that Gov. Mckinley Is very strong
politically in Indiana and especially in In
dianapolis.
Chairman Gowdy Of the state committee
IL standing aloof. He says that he will re-
tain his neutral ground and may the best
man win. 1t is doubtful II Gen. Harrison
has announced his intentions to even his
most intimate friends. They all. including
ex-Consul General New, deny that he has
that he stands aloof without declaring his
Intentions is regarded by the politicians as
proof Of his candidacy.
Mai. Rathb0ne Denies It.
Major Rathbone, who is said to be at the
head Of an organization to boom Harrison
for President, said yesterday in Cincinnati:
II believe that the story that there Is an
organization for the purpose Of booming
Mr.. Harrison for President in 1896 comes
from some person or persons who begin to
think that Mr. Harrison will prove to be a
formidable candidate should he conclude to
let his name go before the convention next
time. Their evident purpose is to kill him
OF.
II do not believe there is any booming
organization in existence. and am certain
that ! am not at the head OF any such
movement, or in any way connected with
It.
Recent events tend to bring Mr.. Harri-
son out in striking contrast to the present
administration. and may be a cause for
alarm on the part of those who may desire
some other candidate for the presidency"

"sidelfghts on Home Rule"

The London Times published three COL
umns yesterday under the caption. "Ameri-
can Sidelights on Home Rule
The argument Of the writer is intended to
rebut Mr.. Giadstone's statements to the eff
feet that the United States Constitution Is
a precedent for granting home rule to Ire
land and q justification Of the home rule
policy in general. The writer quotes liberal
authors. notably De Te-equeville and John
Stuart Mill, to prove the unsuitability of
federalism to old world conditions. After
citing De Terequeville's remarks on the ty-
ranny Of the majority, the Times writer
says: I'm this connection it will hardly be
contended that the majority Of the popula-
ton of Ireland are now more advanced than
were the people Of the United States in the
first half of the present century"
The writer endeavors to prove his point
also with quotations from Lecky, Prof,
Bryce and Edmund Robertson, II. p.

Blowing up Condemned Cannon.

Near Monocacy Penn, parties were
recently engaged in the novel business Of
breaking to pieces with dynamite the
monster steel guns made by the manu-
facturers of cannon for the government
which, after being cast, are found to be
imperfect. The slightest flaw, abrasion
or crack cause the inspectors to condemn
them. These discarded guns cannot be
remelted unless they are reduced to
small pieces,
The cannons are taken in an out OF
the way place, where holes are Grilled
into them and then set off with dyna-
mite, of which material a ton is used per
iaonth. Nearly all the guns are shipped
TO Monocacy station and BirdsbOro.
whence they are carted to the place
where the dynamiting is done. They
weigh all the way from four to twenty
five tons, and eighteen to twenty five
horses are frequently required. From a
hall 10 three pounds Of dynamite IS used
per blast. Some days as high as 200
blasts are made, and none Of the blasted
pieces must be larger than cubic foot.
After being reduced TO pieces they are
sent back 70 the gun foundrics. - Gin.
