SHOT BY MILITIA.
Mob Fired Upon and Eight Men
We're Killed.
Repulse of a Hundred Men Who Attacked
the Roanoke Jail to Secure a Col
ored Ffend Who Nearly Muir
dered Woman.

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 2l.-A dastardly
crime was committed here yesterday.
Thomas Smith, a negro, beat Mrs.
Henry Fisher, an aged market woman.
into insensibility and robbed her of her
pocketbook containing less than 81.
The negro was lodged in Jail.
A crowd gathered around the jail and
kept increasing as night approached.
At S o'clock the Roanoke light infantry
marched to the jail by orders of Mayor
Trout. Guards were posted and the
streets in the immediate vicinity were
cleared. About dark the crowd in
creased by about 100 men from the vi
cinity of the woman's home, headed by
Mrs. Bishops son, a fireman on the
Norfolk & Western railroad. At 8
o'clock portions of the mob battered at
q side door of the jail, where the mill
tia and Mayor Trout had retired. Tho
shooting was commenced by the mob
and the mayor was shot in the foot.
The militia was then ordered to return
the fire, and volley from about rs
rifles was poured into the mob. 1t is
thought that about five men were killed
by this fire and as many more wounded,
some of them fatally. During the ex-
element caused by the volley the negro
was taken from the Jail by an officer
and secreted. The dead and wounded
were removed to drug store and the
offices of near by physicians. The
militia then dispersed and left the
scene as quietly as possible.
Following are the killed as far as
known at present:
S. A. Wick, hotel proprietor.
Will Sheetz, fireman on the n. & w.
railroad.
J. B. Taylor, of Blue Ridge,
George White.

MAYORS AND MINERS.
Strikers Agree to Submit to the
Ballot


Ballot.
LONDON, Oct. 9. = After private
conference which lasted several hours
between the mayors of Leeds, Sheffield,
Bradford, Nottingham, Derby and
Barnley and the representatives of the
striking co al miners and of the coal
mine owners of Sheffield today, the
miners representatives agreed to sub
init to general ballot of the miners.
and the mine owners agreed to refer
the matter to an executive committee of
the proprietorS tomorrow, the pro-
poSalS made by the mayors that the
miners should be allowed to return
to work at the old wages with a
reduction of 10 per cent of the 40 per
cent ad vance in their pay which they
have received since 1883. The time at
which it is suggested that the men shall
resume work is six weeks from the
present time, as 1t will require that
much time 10 put the pits i'll thorough
working order. The proposals further
provide that tribunal of Cancellation to
deal with the question of wages shall be
established, and, in view of the severe
distress now existing among the miners.
the owners of the mines shall make
money advances to the men, which
shall be paid in weekly installments.
The mayor of She field, whe acted in
the capacity of chairman during the
conference. conversed with a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press after
the meeting and expressed the highest
hopes that the great dispute between
the miners and the owners was on the
eve of settlement. II said that the del
egates representing the MINERS Quib-
bled somewhat at the prospect of an
eventual reduction, but cheerfully con-
sented to the suggestion that ballot be
taken by the strikers The mayor
thought that the result of the ballot
might be known within week.

toiled oimself up again he was around
'he bagcagemaster, and
''The baggagemaSter never checked
any baggage after that.
Another story told of the tribulations
of traveller whose trunk had been
smashed and how finally he filled big
trunk with dynamite and marked it,
Handle with care! Dynamiten
"'Dynamite -n said the baggage
master, with fine scorn, and he pulled
the trunk down from the top of a high
pile and let 1t fall on Que corner, and
''He never returned.
''Then there was the story about the
angered traveller who placed upon the
corners of his trunk patches of some
material so elastic and springy that if
you dropped the trunk hard 1t bounded
into the air thousands of feet. This
trunk came 10 the station Oh the sum-
NIT of great load of trunks, and the
baggagemaster seized it by the handle,
braced one foot against the load, and
pulled the trunk off and let it fall upon
one corner, and
ut never came back.
"And the owner sued and recovered
for the loss of his trunk.
''It might not be easy in paragraph
conclusively to assign reasons for the
decline of the trunk story. Certainly
the baggage master is as powerful as
ever, and surely he cannot have lost in
the comparatively brief period of thirty
or forty years that fine sense of humor
that once prompted him playfully to
drop a trunk and break it wide open.
1t seems more probable that he has
shared with the rest of mankind in that
steadily advancing refinement of meth
DDS which has marked our progress in
recent years-that he is not less humor-
Gus. but only less boisterous than he
was, and it may be, too, that the fact
that trunks generally are made stronger
than they were has had something to do
with it,"

and, the repeal bill being taken up, Mr..
Cockrell Dem, Mo- addressed the SEN
ate in opposition to the bill.
Referring to the decentralization of
silver in 1878, Mr.. Cockrell asserted that
Mr.. Sherman knew that the bill, if
passed, would demonetiZe silver. All
others had disavowed the knowledge,
while Mr.. Sherman never had.
MIR. Cockrell declared his belief that
Senator Sherman had introduced his
bill of last congress for the repeal of
the Sherman act for the purpose of in
1uenclng the action of the
BRUSSELS CONFERENCE,
then in session. At any rate, the intro
duction of the bill was used for that
purpose. He criticised the action of
the secretary of the treasury in redeem
ing in gold the silver certificates. He
was surprised that Democratic secre-
tary of the treasury had pursued this
course.
After referring to the means adopted
to create sentiment in the country in
favor of repeal, and of special session
of congress, Mr.. Cockrell, in his deScript-
i've manner, said, after a pause: Con
greSs has been convened, and here we
are. Laughter. And no uncondi-
tiOnal repeal at the demand and beheSt
VI SOAu
The discussion having turned to the
general subject of the redemption of
silver certificates, a colloquy occurred
between MessrS. Cockrell, Mcpherson,
Vest and Teller as to whether these
certificates were redeemed in gold.
To settle the question, Mr.. Teller Of
fered a resolution (Which was agreed to-
calling for information as to whether
silver dollars or silver coin certificate S
have been redeemed in or exchanged by
the treasury department for gold or pa
per which by law or practice of the gov
ernment is redeemable in gold.
Mr.. Cockrell said that with the act of
1890 repealed it was almost certain that
no more silver bullion would be coined.
and there would be left in the treasury
a hoard of silver metal. 1t seemed es-
sential that there should be added to the
pending bill all express requirement to
coin such bullion.
Without concluding his speech. Mr..
Cockrell at $50 yielded to motion for
an executive session.

TUCKER BILL.
1t Must Pass Today, the Caucus
Saws.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The decree of
the Democratic caucus at the house to-
night was that the Tucker bill, repeal
ing every vestige of the federal election
laws, except one stray statute, should
be passed tomorrow. Over 14O members
were present, indicating that the Demo
Gratis will have a quorum tomorrow.
A sentiment existed in the caucus,
notably among some of the Northern
Democrats, led by Mr.. Fitch
and Mr.. Springer, in favor of
leaving on the statute books the declara-
tory statutes regarding the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments on the
ground that it would look badly for a
Democratic congress to blot out ali
federal election laws. Col. Oates
favored also all amendment permitting
United States judges to have jurlsdic-
ton over attractions of election laws at
federal elections, 1t was also diScOv.
cred that stray statute. 5,52S,
not included in those repealed, per-
mitted interference of troops at the
polls. The general sentiment echoed by
Mr.. Tucker, Bourke Cochran. and Pat
terson,of Tennessee,in strong speeches,
was for passing the Tucker bill. mOdi-
lied so as to include the stray No. 5,52S.
Speaker Crisp, however, called atten-
ton to the fact that owing to the
peculiar parliamentary situation result
ing from the special order under which
the house was operating, no amend
ments were in order tomorrow. save
such as had already been otfered-the
substitute of Chairman Fitch and the
amendments of Mr.. Burrows and Lacey.
1t was decided UNANIMOUSLY to pass the
Tucker bill as it stands, and to have it
amended In the senate. A resolution
adop ted was as follows:
ReSol we'd, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the pending bill should be
passed by the house of representatives
tomorrow, and that the Democrats
should present an unbroken column in
its support.
