BLACKS ATTACK WHITES.
The Latter Reply to the Shots and Claim
to Have Killed Seven.

Hawesville, Ky, oct IA terrible race
war occurred at 6 o'clock last evening at
Powers station, west of this city, be-
tween three dozen negroes and few
white men. An excursion train was re-
turning from the Owensboro fair when
the negroes, enraged because thQy were
made to ride in a separate coach made
a rush for the other cars. Women and
children were roughly treated, and
panic followed. Soon the blacks began
shooting, and United States Deputy Mar
shall Nose Burlington, Squire Aldrich
Marshal Jones, and Col. John Patterson
with two or three others replied. There
was a fusillade, and then the train pulled
out, leaving the blacks. Several of the
whites were wounded, but none killed
though every window in one car was shot
out. Marshal Burlington and his COM
rades assert that at least seven negroes
were killed and many others wounded.

ENGLAND And OUR TARIFF.
Speculation as to the Effect on the Old
Country.

Congressman William L. Wilson Says
the Raw and Manufactured Wool, Out
lery, Pottery and Tin Plate Are the
English Industries Most Affected.
What English Manufacturers Say on
the Subject.
London, Oct. 7.--Just before his depar-
ture for America, William L. Wilson was
asked by a reporter which industries Of
the United Kingdom would be most af-
fected by the revision of the American
tariff He replied: "Emphatically raw and
manufactured wool. cutlery, pottery and
tin plate"
In the last few days the reporter has in
quired Of many firms in the trades in
question, how much they had felt the
changes In the tariff. r. Bond of Vivian
Young & Bond, metal merchants said:
Hitherto the effect OF the tariff has been
almost nil in our business. There must
have been a quantity of tin plate in bond
in the United States, believe there will
be a tendency in the states to increase
gradually the home production. The new
firms in South Wales greatly. 1t does not
give sufficient margin to encourage and
develop rapidly the American tin plate
trade, but the growth of tin plate man
ufacture in the United States is bound to
be exceedingly gradual in any event, for
tin plating is the hardest process in any
branch of the metal trade"
A representative Of Winder & Co. wool
brokers, said: THE tariff has not affected
the export trade in raw wool because the
American wool is cheaper than the Eng
lsh since the fall of prices in the United
states In anticipation OF the new tariff"
A dealer in manufactured wool said It
was too early to estimate the effect of the
bill. Both merchants gave it as their
impression that England ultimately would
suffer by the reduction on duties Free
raw wool, they thought, would STIMULATE
the manufacture of wooden goods in the
United States, and the American factories
would be able to supply the home market
to the exclusion of the British.
The cutlery men were more hopeful than
the tin plate and woolen merchants. Mr..
Lloyd of the firm of Marsden Bros. &
Lloyd said: THE effect OF the tariff re-
vision is already most marked, and we
feel sanguine of the future"
w. f. Rice of the Doulton Company,
the author of the article on British pot
terry in the British catalogue at the Chi
cago fair, said: 1T win take at least a
year to tell the effect of the bill, for
America had a large quantity of English
pottery in bond. We believe that the bill
will help us eventually. although America
has made remarkable progress in the
manufacture of pottery in the last ten
years"

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES DEAD
A Sketch Of the Scholarly Authors
Useful Life.

Useful Life.
Boston, Oct. 7.-Oliver Wendell Holmes
is dead.
Without the semblance of a struggle or
a pain he passed away as he has lived,
peacefully and beautifully.
The end came at 1910 o'clock this after
noon at the venerable poets house, 296
Beacon street. He was surrounded by
his children, and visibly conscious of their
presence up to within few minutes of
the last, though unable to speak. Then he
closed his eyes wearlly and seemed to
fall asleep, as indeed he did--the sleep
of death-at which the whole world will
mourn.
His death was due to exhaustion follow
ing a severe attack of asthma.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass, August, 1909. He was
graduated at Harvard college in 1929 and
began the study of law, which he sub
sequently abandoned for that of medi-
cine. Having attended the hospitals of
Paris and other European cities, he COM
meneed practice in Boston in 1886. In 1888
he was elected professor of anatomy and
physiology in Dartmouth college, and in
1S47 was appointed to a similar profess
sorship in the Massachusetts medical
school, from which he retired in 1882.
AS early as 1896 his contributions in
verse appeared in various periodicals, and
his reputation as a poet was established
by the delivery of metrical essay, en-
titled Poetry" which was followed by
others in rapid succession. AS a writer
of songs, lyrics, and poems for festive oc-
casions, he occupied first place. He was
for many years a popular lecturer. In
1857, he commenced in the Atlantic
Monthly a series of articles under the
title "The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table" which were followed in 1850 by
the professor at the Breakfast Table"
in 1872 by "The Poet at the Breakfast
Table" and in 1885 by THE New Port
folio" In addition he has published
1Astraea," 1850; Currents and
COunter-currents in Medical Science
1861; "Elsie Nenner, Romance of
Destiny" 1861; Borderlands in Some Pro-
vinces of Medical Science" 1882 Songs
in Many Keys" 1864; "Soundings from
the Atlantic" 1864; Humorous Poems"
1866; THE Guardian Angel" 1868; Me
chanism in Thought and Morals" 1870;
Songs of Many Seasons" 1874; John l..
Motley, a Memoir" 1873; THE Iron Gate,
and other POEMS" 1880; Medical Es-
says" 1885, Pages from an Old Volume
of Life" 1888: Ralph Waldo Emerson"
1884; "a Mortal Antipathy,' 1885; "Our
Hundred Days in Europe" 1887; Before
the Curfew," 1888, and numerous poems
recited at various reunions and dinners.
In 1886 he visited England, where he
was received with great cordlalty. Edi-
tions Of his collected poems have appeared
from time to time, the first in 1896, the last
in 1889 He has contributed largely 70
current medical literature, as well as TO
the literary journals and reviews. A Sc
ries Of genial papers from his pen, en-
titled "Over the Teacups," appeared I'm
the Atlantic Monthly during 1890.
