A BLOODY RACE WAR

As the Result of a Iynching MomentariIy
Expected, Feared at Yellow Springs,
OhiO-Several Hundred Men In Hot Pur-
suit of q Colored Desperate Known to
pected of Several.
CINCINNATI, Aug. ia special from
Yellow Springs, o., says:
''This village is wild with excitement
over the momentary expectation of a
lynching. William Whaley, the COL
ored desperate who SO foully murdered
a man named Hopping, yesterday,
for his money, and who is sus-
pected of three other similar
murders that have occurred here
within the past month, was
traced to a stone quarry near the town
late tonight. The quarry was sur
rounded by several hundred armed
men, but in the darkness Whaley made
his escape and ran to the woods with
the mob at his heels. He will almost
certainly be captured. in which case
the threats of lynching will surely be
put into execution at once, as the mob
is terribly incensed and in no mood to
be governed by cool or wise councils.
Sheriff Dodge arrived here from
Xenia with a posse of deputies, but will
not be able to cope with the desperate
mob.
Nearly one-ha1f of the towns popu-
lation are colored people. The lat
ter, nearly 800 in number, are also
armed with rifles aud shotguns, and
they declare that Whaley must be
given fair trial. They organized to-
night,andif Whaley is lynched a bloody
race war is feared.

WAR IN THE WEST.

A Battle Between Shepherd land Cattle
men for Possession of Grazing Lands.
RIFLE Col, Aug. 15.-It was reported
last night that war had broken out be-
tween the cattlemen and sheepmen on
the Mesa north of Parachute, and that
three cattlemen were killed and the
sheepmen penned up in canyon and
figting stubbornly. The trouble arose
over the attempt of the cattlemen to
to drive the sheepmen out of the coun-
try.
Sunday evening Mr.. Billeter, a we'll
known sheepman, arrived from Para
chute and reported that early in the
morning party of about thirty armed
and masked men arrived on the mesa,
among the sheep men and put rope
around ole mans neck and drove the
balance of the herders and sheep out
Of the country and warned them not
to drive the sheep back into the coun-
try under penalty of death.
On Monday formidable band of
sheepmen started to drive the sheep
back again. The fight is supposed to
be the result. A number of cattlemen
came into De Beque last night for arms
and ammunition and reported the fight.
Particulars are meager, as the scene OF
the fight is remote.

A Serious Disadvantage to Canadian
Sealers.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette yesterday afternoon published a
dispatch from Paris, saying that on
questions of fact regarding the seizure
of sealing vessels the decision is in IA
vor of Great Britain. The paper adds
that as a natural result of this deci-
sion the United States would give the
Canadian sealers due compensation for
seizures illegally made. The regula-
tions providing for close season are
very stringent. The prescription of
firearms may be found serious disad-
vantage to Canadian sealers.

TWO PERSONS KILLED

:
And = Number Injured by the Plunge ol
Two Passenger Coaches. Over . Twenty
Foot Trestle Into q Creek Near MILTON,
Wa Miracle that Amy the Cars
Escaped.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. IA special
to the Dispatch from Danville says:
An awful accident occurred at the
countyline trestle, just east of Milton,
yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock, by
which two passenger coaches and a
sleeper were precipitated twenty feet
into the creek below killing two per-
sons outright and wounding number
of others.
The train left here at 1885 yesterday
morning and was the regular, bound
for Portsmouth.
After passing through Milton and go
ing over the trestle, the engineer says
he was running at the rate of ten miles
an hour when he felt the bridge Civ
ing way. He threw open the throttle,
and the engine, tender and q box car
got safely over, but the passenger cars
were too late, and the span went down
under their weight. The cars were
shivered into kindling wood, and the
escape Of any of the passengers was a
miracle.
The water in the creek has risen to q
depth OF twelve or more feet, and it is
the general belief that the rise had un-
dermined the foundation of the iron
piers. causing the bridge to settle.
On the train at the time were about
sixteen persons, including the train
of the latter hands, but only one,
sleeper were Mrs. Harvey Giersch, two
children and nurse, of Winston, N.
c.. Conductor j. L. Sizer, and j. r.
TX WINS, colored porter.
The nurse was drowned, and the
conductor and porter were slightly in
jured.
Mrs Giersch was on her way to Law.
renceville to visit friends.
The following is the list of killed and
wounded:
A. Morris. conductor, Portsmouth, Va.
W. r. Ellison, Alton, Va.
j. A. Davies, farmer of Baskerville, Va.
w. r. Elan, Durham. N. c.
James S. Lowe, railroad conductor from tho
west. who was q passenger.
Thomas Lee (colored), Winston. Va.
Francis Jenkins (colored), Salem, Va.
The depot agent at Milton heard the
crash and Immediately gave the alarm
by tolling the bell. The people turned
out in full force to rescue the dead and
injured from the wreck.
Mr.. j. L. Sizer, the Pullman con-
ductor in speaking of the accident,
says: 81 had just gotten through my
collections and had reported to Con-
ductor Morris who had passed forward
on the train and was preparing to re-
tire when the crash came. Fortu-
nately was in the forward end of my
car. Mrs. Giersch's nurse was in the
rear end of the car where she was
found with her head and chest under
the water, and was most probably
drowned, as there were no heavy tim
bers or anything else on her body
that might have caused her DEATH"
The little 13-year-old daughter OF
Mrs. Giersch, not realizing the danger
through which she had passed, said to
the rescuers: Don't mind me, I am
not hurt; but please take mamma out. !"
The dead were removed to the depot
at Milton, where they were kept until
the arrival of the coroner from Hall
fax courthouse. the accident occurring
on the Halifax side of the creek.

THE DELICIOUS PEACH.
Few People Know How to Servo It "a.

Few People Know How to Serve It ~ n
Should be Served.
There are but few people who know
how to serve peaches and cream in q
manner worthy of that luscious lux
ury," observed a lady the other evening
at restaurant where the fruit had
been placed before her in an altogether
unattraetive style. "Let me tell you"
she continued, chow to present the
fruit in q manner ct for the gods. To
begin with, take two or three large
reestone peaches, yellow ones, fairand
smooth, for each guest whom you ex-
peet to serve. Place them in vessel
and pour very hot water upon, them
until they are entirely covered. Let
them remain in the scalding water for
a half or three-quarters of minute
and then pour covering of cold water
upon them and add lump of ice as
large. as cocoanut.
AFTER they have stood in the. cooling
bath TEN or fifteen minutes lift them
curt one by one and remove the. skim
which can be done with surprising ease
by starting it with knife and pulling
it gently with the fingers, as one. does
i'm peeling tomatoes after similar
treatment. The only difference is, that
the skin comes off peaches more easily
than it does off tomatoes. When the
skins are removed put the peaches into
large earthen dish, being careful to
pile them on top of one another as lit
tie IS possible, and place the vessel in
the refrigerator. Ten minutes before
it is time to serve them lift them care-
fully one at time, into lange cut
glass dish-a salad bowl win answer
eapitslly cover them. over with
finely-ehopped ice. At the table the
hostess is to serve them, in fat plates
not I'm small, deep dishes-anda for each
person there must be- a fork and a.
small fruit knife, with which the. pits
can be removed easily and without any
.mussiness.' Served in this way and
with fine sugar and a cutglass pitcher
filed with rich, golden cream, dish
Of peaches becomes beau4iful, luscious,

may reverently thank nature for. pal-
ates and Heaven for peaches.-N. T.

A FIREMAN KILLED

During the Progress of q Fire In W. J..
Dyer & Co.'s Music House in St. Paul.
Minn.-Several Others Injured-A Loss Of
@1OO, 900 Incurred.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 17.-As the
result of fire in this city last even
ing, one fireman is dead and several
others injured and the stock of w. J.
Dyer & Co., dealers in musical instru-
ments at 1877 East Third street, is
ruined. The firm carried fine stock
of pianos and other musical instru-
ments and did the largest business of
any firm north of Chicago.
The fire broke out at $50 O'Clock, and
gained such very rapid Roadway that
general alarm was turned in, and the
whole department was soon throwing
water on the burning structure.
A large number of ladders were run
up the back of the building on Second
street. The burning varnish on the
musical instruments made such a dense
smoke that it made the fremen ill. and
half dozen made their way to the
ground with difficulty.
A thrill of horror ran through the
crowd when fireman was seen to
dart headforemost from fifth story
body was carried into an adjoining
doctors Office. 1t proved to be that of
Michael Clennan, Engine Co. No. 2.
It was horribly mangled and the
fireman only lived a few moments
after striking the street A few
minutes later Jerry Murphy
was seen hanging headforemost
from 6fth-story window in state
of Inconsistencies. Five fremen with
ladders went to his rescue with great
haste, and with the aid of a rope were
able to slide him to the ground. He
was badly cut about the head in CROP
ing about the building.
Capt Jerry Strahoff of Engine Conn
pany No. was taken from the third
story in IN unconscious condition.
His injuries seem to be Internal and
mostly due to smoke. Chief Jackson
and John Devlin, of Engine Company
No. 4, were both partially suffocated,
but were taken out of the burning
buiiding! before there were serious re-
suits
The loss of w. J. Dyer & Bro. is about
500, 900; insured for 100000.

Baked Buckwheat:P People generally
think buckwheat is only to be used in
cold weather as breakfast dish in the
form of griddle cakes Now just try
baking it for once. and know YOU will
be surprised. 1 will give you my recipe:
Put in your mixing bowl one cupful
white flour and two-thirds cupful of
buclxwheat -four; add one very heapinS
teaspoonful of baking powder. mix
well; then add one-half cupful of light
brown sugar. one beaten egg and three
tablespoonful of melted butter or
lard. mix all well together, and lastly.
add sweet milk to make a batter that
will pour and spread slowly, not as
thin as for griddle cakes (expcrience
will teach you). Bake in a rather hot
oven in deep tin, allowing plenty OF
room for cake to rise. To be eaten hot
with butter. use the same recipe for
corn cake, and it is the best ] ever
tried. using the fine Indian meal in
place Of buckwheat-N. Y. Observer.
