a NEGRO BOYCOTT.
Colored People Ordered to Leave
an Arkansas Town.

an kansas Town,
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 16.-Goy.
Fishback has received information of a
reign of terror which exists among the
colored population of the town of Black
Rock. According to the governors in.
formation, a very serious condition of
affairs exists there, which may result in
bloodshed. Black Rock is the center of
large manufacturing and lumber dis.
trict. and owing to the present financial
stringency large number of men are
thrown out of employment. Among
them are many lawless characters, who
have organized for the purpose OF driv-
ing all the negroes out of town. They
have succeeded in the intimidation of
many factory owners so far that they
have DISCHARGED all of the negroes in
their employ, in fear of the possible
consequences which may follow their
refusal to accede to the demands of the
white caps.
On last Friday night, the following
notice was posted in a public place:
'All negroes must leave this town in
eide of ten days or take what follows:
and all who have houses rented to them
must fire them or we will fire the houses
inside of ten days. Negroes, don't let
this slip your mind"
This was followed by verbal and
written notices to the mill and factory
men that they must discharge every
negro in their employ, or their property
would be burned. The mills and facto-
ries are guarded, the streets are patroled
by men armed with Winchesters.
The other side claims that they have
promise OF outside help, and serious
trouble seems imminent. The colored
population, which numbers about three
hundred, is completely cowed. About
one-third of them have left, and most of
the others will 90 if the mill men should
follow the advice of the white caps.

THE COUGHLIN CHESTNUT.
Ex-MayOr Cregier Among Those
Who Gave Testimony.

Ex-MayOr Cregier Among Those
/ Who Gave Testimony.
; CHICAGO. Jan. 16. The prosecution
III the Coughlin case announced today
that the states evidence will not be fin
lshed before tomorrow night.
1t was expected the case would be
turned over to the defense today. but
delay was caused by difficulty in pro-
curing witnesses. Ii is said that Henry
OConnor, who was an important states
witness at the former trial, has refused
to return from New York to testify.
o'ConnOr's testimony relates to con-
versation he had with CoughIin. in
which it is claimed the latter referred to
DIR. Cronin as a British spy. Salesman
Hatfield was called to the stand today to
testify as to the identity of a carpet
taken from the Carlson cottage.
Hatfield could not positively identify
the carpet, and eX-Mayor De Witt G.
Cregier, who had come into court in
answer TO subpoena issued at the re.
quest of Judge Wing, was asked to take
the stand. Ex-Mayor Cregier complied.
an amused expression covering his
face, and answered the questions of the
attorney for the defense in a bluff,
hearty way. Mr.. Cregier believed the
transcript had been put into his hands,
but had mot the remotest idea of what
had become of it. unless it had been
burned with other papers," Attorney
w. j. Hynes was called, and said he
could not produce the transcript, and
did not even remember of having seen
4 copy.
Don't you remember" asked Judge
Wing, 'Of having defiantly tiourshed
copy at the lawyers for the defense in
the former trial during yonr address to
the jury?' but Mr.. Hynes did not re-
member, he said.
Then the prosecution introduced eX-
pelt testimony upon the cause of DR..
Cronin's death.
1t is rumored that the defense has
found III Arizona the man WHO hired
the white horse on the night of DR..
Cronin's disappearance. and is now in
Chicago, and will testify in Coughlin's
behalf. He will testify, it is said, that
he took the horse to visit relative:
that he drove north on Halsted street,
because he was not well acquainted
with the city, and the relative he visited
will take the stand to verify his story.
The man will be identified, it is said, by
HOStler MorelanI, OF Dinan's livery
stable.

CLEAN UP THE STREETS,
A Good Opportunity for the City
to Get in Its Work,

The citizens of Minneapolis are being
treated just now to a choice variety of
mud of the damp, slushy brand. Never
in the history OF the city have the
streets presented such mephitic and
filthy condition, and never before has
there been presented such a grand op-
pOrtunity for the mayor and officials of
Minneapolis to demonstrate practical
philanthropy by giving the unemployed
an opportunity to work. Since the be-
ginning of the thaw the sidewalks have
been covered with slush. and the street
crossings have been almost impossible,
and in order to add Zest to the thing the
street car plows banked the snow on
either side of the tracks into ridges,
which were quite as sharp at the apex
as North Carolina razor backed hog.
In short, more disgusting state of
things cauld not be imagined, and as a
result of the slippery walks and beastly
crossings, the city may expect to have
number of damage suits, while the doc
tors and undertakes may expect
to reap a rich harvest in their
particular lines of industry. In the
meantime the city might emulate the
authorities of st. Paul in putting an
army of men to work in carting off the
miasmatlc street debris of the winter
thus far. In the long run it might be a
master stroke of economy.

Big Diamond steal.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 16.-Further de-
VelopmentS in the diamond robbery
perpetrated in New Albany, which were
made public yesterday. indicate that
several New York firms have been VIC
timiZed. 1t was stated yesterday that
Ball Il Co., of New York, had lost 81, 900
by the robbery. The sharpers had the
diamonds sent to A. Ba,th, who is a
wealthy resident of New Albany. With
letters of Identification, the bogus Mr..
Barth secured the goods from the ex-
press company. Today 1t was learned
that Tiffany IL Co., of New York, lost
$1,000 worth of diamonds through the
same party. All told. he secured eight
packages by the different express COM
panles, which it is believed will aggre-
gate $4,000. The police are working
on the case, and descriptions of the dia-
monds have been telegraphed all over

AN ENGLISH VIEW.
Cleveland Praised for His Posi-
ton asa the Hawaiian Matter.

LONDON, Jan. 1G.-The Times, in a
leading article, says: ut is prudent to
accept all unofficial rumors from Ha-
wall with reserve. 1t is possible that
the report that the ex-Queen is in dam
ger of death is well founded. and it is
easy to believe that also constitutional
weakness OF heart must have been
severely aggravated by intense and
prolonged anxiety from her present
position. On the other hand, 1t Is con-
ceivable that some persons concerned
in the intrigue of her downfall must be
interested in spreading false reports
In regard to her health. 1t is amusing
and instructive to observe that, although
the whole conspiracy which Mr.. Thurs
tor concocted and executed by the aid
of the American minister was simply a
plot to annex the islands TO the United
States against the will of the Hawaiian
people. he initiates President Dole's
example and SwaggerS about the inter
national rights of the independent re-
public of Hawaii" The article pro-
ceeds to praise Mr.. Cleveland for his
firm attitude in the Hawaain matter
and continues:
What the ultimate issue will be it is
not easy to say, but, in the face of MIR.
Willis dispatch, it is satisfactory to
know that there is naval force avail
able sufficient TO protect the lives and
property of the British inhabitants. 1t
is probable that the risk of violent at
tempt OH the ex-queen is not serious,
but 1t Is both ludicrous and significant
to find that tine American minister re-
lies upon the telephone from the ex-
queens house to his room for protec-
ton.
although Liliuokalani Is no doubt
we'll advised in asserting to President
Cleyeland's terms, it cannot be denied
that the objections she originally urged
against them have deal of force. In
the dramatic conversation reported by
Mr.. Willis, she exhibited acuteness Of
understanding. as we'll as queenly dig
nifty, of really striking kind"

THE CASH DRAWER.
1t Was Touched for Ten Years by
Banker koetting.


/ MILWAUKEE. Wis, Jan. l6.-Evi-
dence was brought out at the trial of
/ Banker koetting this morning to show
that the South Side Savings bank had
been fopelessly looted and that all man
ner of tricks had been resorted to by
I Cashier Koetting to temporarily cover
up discrepancies. A. P. Conrad, the
expert accountant, testified that Presi-
dent Triumph and Koetting began to
dabble with the cash drawer in 1871.
The prosecution intend to show that
during some ten years Koetting had
withdrawn more than SlOO,O from the
cash drawer, leaving in the place of it
only memorandum slips; that this in
debtedneSs had been taken up by Koett-
ing taking notes and collateral of the
bank and discounting them at other
banks. The proceeds were used to re-
place the money taken from the cash
drawer, but the notes were never cred
TIED as having been discounted. and it
left the same shortage, though in diff
ferent form.
Expert Conrad this afternoon testified
that as early as 1885 Koetting began to
falsify the reports made annually to the
state treasurer on the first Monday IN
January o. that year. Koetting con-
cealed $4,000 of the banks indebted
ness i'll order to make good showing,
and OH the first Monday in January,
1892, the difference between the actual
liabilities of the bank and KOetting's
report to the state treasurer was $685.

this morning sent TO President Adrain.
of the Democratic senate, and Presi-
dent Rogers, of the Republican senate,
the opinion of Attorney General Stock
ton on the senatorial difficulty. Ac-
companying the opinion was a message
of some length. 1t was addressed to
"Hon. Robert Adrain, president pro
tenn of the senate" In it the governor
says. II inclose herewith the reply Of
the attorney general, whereby L am
advised that the body over which you
have the honor temporarily to preside
is the constitutional Senate, and, that
the body organized under the presi-
dency of Mr.. Rogers did not represent
the senate of New jersey" This is. of
course, in favor of the Democratic SEN
ate.
A stronS effort between the Repub
licans and Democrats to get together
was started today. The Republican
senators appointed Messrs. Rogers,

DULUTHiANs DELIGHTED
Over Lake Superior Consolidated
Mines Developments.

MlneS Developments.
Special TO the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 18.-Important
changes in the plans of the Rockefeller
syndicate regarding the Lake Superior
consolidated mines have been agreed
upon. and negotiations which have been
pending for over month to this end
are now practically closed. Mr.. Rookie
Teller has held in the consolidation q
bond interest of something like So. 0O0,-
000. which he acquired from money adj
vanced for the purchase Of mines. and
10 complete the Missabe road. and in ex-
change for Penokee and Gogebic stock
and bonds. which he tnrned into the con-
solidati0n. This bond interest gave him
absolute control of the fine Lake Su-
perior consolidation, and but for UNI
expected events which prevented him
from delivering the Penokee and Go
gebic properties free Of incumbrance, it
is likely he would have secured control
OF the greater part of the Mesaba range
with ali actual cash expenditure which
is put as low as $1,000.0OO. Under the
terms of the trust mortgage for $40, 00O.-
coo which secured his bonds, he was in
position to take possession of the prop
erty at any time.an nothing would have
been lett for the stockholders who had
put in their properties. When the Pc
mckee and Gogebic company went
into the hands of receiver 1t
was announced that MIR. Rockefeller
had withdrawn its properties and would
return the bonds which hau been given
him. Today it is unofficially stated that
the consolidated bonds held for money
to complete the Missabe ROAD are also to
be returned and the Indebtedness fund
ed with an issue of the bonds OF the
road, which to the extent OF So, $40, 900
was authorized Monday. Duluth men
Interested are delighted with the turn
affairs have taken, for they had received
only stock where MIR. Rockefeller had
bonds, and his interests had nothing in
common with theirs. Now it is to his
advantage 10 make the stock dividend
paying one, and they will receive the
benefits

tempt of Court

He Is Sent to the Bastile for Con-
tempt OF Court.
Judge Jamison yesterday imposed a
sentence Of sixty days Imprisonment
upon Albert E. Horton. the Washington
avenue furniture dealer. without the
option of n fine. The judge lectured
him severely, expatiating at length upon
the culprlt's peculiar methods of doing
business.
An order for disclosure was secured
by the creditors some time ago which
forbade the respondent from dispoSing
OF any moneys in mis- possession. A
hearing was had and the case continued
for three weeks. At the expiration of
that time $500 of Horizons money was
located, which he said had passed
through his hands to poker game in
st. Paul.
Throughout the severe castigation of
Judge Jamison, Horton exhibited the
liveliest appreciation of the pickle he
found himself in, and finally broke
down completely, begging the judge for
the sake of his family to treat him
leniently. There is no room for Horton
in the Jail excerpts among the Harris
suspects and other criminals, and he is
at present confined i'll the Jail office.

DEATHS FROM THE WRECK
Many at the Hospitals Not Ex-
Dected to Live.


NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The list of those
who met death in yesterdays collision
on the Delaware, Lackawanna 81 West
ern railroad may be materially in
creased, as some OF the injured in st.
Mary's and Christ hospitals, Hoboken,
are in such a critical condition that they
are not expected to live. Edward NJ.
Clark, who is suffering from internal
injuries, has had succession of hem
orrhages and is not expected to live the
day. Carl SchurZ and Edward White.
who were reported injured, are also in
precarious condition. The former had
a compound fracture of the right thigh
and terrible cash in the abdomen. 1t
was found necessary last night to am
putate his right leg, and it is thought
he cannot survive the shock. Mr. White
is suffering from compound fracture
of the leg, and his left side is badly
crushed. His Injuries are so serious
that his death at any moment would not
be surprise.
Among those whose injuries are so
grave as to cause fears for their lives
are William Barclift, E. w. Gray, Wash
ington Irving and l.. Boales. The other
injured are doing well.
President Samuel Sloan, of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad,
consented today to give out statement
about the accident. He blames Engi-
neer w. Hoffman, of the South Orange
train.
The particular rules the violation of
which caused yesterdays accident were
the ones President Sloan was intently
studying.
There" said he impressively, laying
his finger on one rule in particular, "if
that had been followed out there would
have been no accident"
The rule to which he referred reads as
follows:
''In case of foggy or stormy weather
the greatest care must be exercised.
speed reduced around curves, passing
stations, approaching bridges and APP
preaching and passing through the diff
ferent yards. Fault will not be found
for being behind time when caution
and prudence dictate that as the safe
course"
when 1 read that" he continued, 81
can hold no one to blame but Hoffman.
His train should have been running
very slowly and under control when he
came up to the draw-bridge."
