The unusually large scale on which

gives special interest TO the following
opinions. This is the first year OF the
national industrial holiday, il having
heretofore been observed under State
laws, according to which the first day
Of September the first Saturday OF that

variously set apart. IL is highly desir-
able that uaanimity be attained.
IL will be observed that Henry w.
Cannon. from a great tinancier's stand
point, deems the immediate future OF
labor verv encouraging. Samuel Comp
ers presents the Industrial view In his
usual able way. Mgr. Thomas J. Du-

dustrlal conditions. Various labor lead
ers throughout the country, who have

MEMPHIS, Tenn, September L.
News comes this morning OF tbs lynch
ing OF six negroes in the northern part
Of the county, two miles west of Mill
lington. Barns and dwellings have been
burned in that vicinity, and suspicion
pointed to Dan Hawkins, Robt. Haynes,
Warner Williams. Ed. Hall, John HAYES
and Graham White. Yesterday they
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Rich
ardson, who started with his prisoners
in wagon for Millington.
About midnight the party was stopped
by mob OF fifty men armed with shot
guns, who killed all the prisoners, and
then remounted their horset, which
were tied near by, aud rode away In the
darkness. The lynchers were not
masked, but the officer, being new TO
that part OF the country, recognized
none of them. An inquest was held on
the bodies this morning, and the jury.
which included two negroes, found that
the prisoners had come TO their deaths
at the hands OF persons unknown.
Dan Hawkins was arrested leae ago
with several others, charged with tho
burning OF barnes aud residences In the
KerrviIle neighborhood. They were
brought to trial, and two OF them SEM
fenced to terms Ia the penitentiary.S
They made full confessions, and impll-
Gated Hawkins as the leader OF the
band of firebugs. Hawkins got new
trial, however, and after spending some
months in jail, was released few weeks
ago. Since that time the burnings have
recommended. and the MIllington neigh
borhoodas well as Kerrkille has sGf-
fered.
Deputy Sheriff Richardson was en-
ployed TO ferret out the incendiaries,
and with the assistance OF q negro
"spotter," he at length got evidence that
resulted in the arrest OF Hawkins and
the other five negroes who were ynched.
About nightfall yesterday the officers
secured a two-horse wagon and white
driver named Z. L. Atchison to drive II.
He loaded his prisoners into the yehile
handcuffed and chained together, and
started for Milington. AS they reached
Big Creek, two miles west of Millington,
some body In the woods by the roadside
called out: Don't try to cross there.
The bridge is down; come this way"
Richardson got down, and, taking the
horses by the head, led them into q
path that opened in the direction whence
the warning had come. 1t was dark In
the woods, but suddenly Richardson saw
Two guns presented at his stomach, and
a stern voice said: Throw up your
hands" what does this mean?" de-
manded the officer "None or your
d. business" was the replys Throw
'em mp" The officer obeyed. Then
AtchIson was ordered to get down, and
was placed under guard.
The negro prisoners, OWNING the
purpose OF the unseen mob, attempted
10 leap from the wagon. A volley rang
out from forty or fifty guns and they
fell back, wounded and dying. A dozen
of the mob leaped into the wagon and
threw them out. Volley after volley
was then poured into the struggling
mass and In few moments all was still.
Hawkins head was almost shot from his
body and some OF the others were terrl-
bly, mangled.
The mob, after making sure that all

for all com modities have fallen aud the
sales of manufactured goods have de-
creased to an enormous extent. II is
difficult for men who labor with their
hands to fully appreciate the losses
sustained by the great railway and In
dustrial corporations in this country,
and also by individuals. The price Of
a days labor at the present time will
purchase more comforts and conven-
fences than ever in the history OF this
country, and while the interests of
those who furnish capital for corpora
tious and those who are employed by
such corporations are in measure
identical, it is difficult for employees to
realize the extent of stagnation in
trade.
There is, undoubtedly, better sp-
probation Of the true situation of af
fairs on both sides than earlier in the
year, and l have no doubt that strenu-
aus efforts will be made by our railway
and Industrial corporations aud indi-
viduals to furnish employment for as
many persons as possible, even ii the
returns are not larger There is grow
ing sentiment in favor of an earnest en-
deavor to resuscitate business through
out the country, and l believe that
both capital and labor will unite in this
endeavor, and that capital will realize
reasonable returns ann labor receive

near future. II. w. CANNON.

HE rs THE MAN.
w. II. Truesdale's New Post on
the Rock island Road.
HAS TIE GENERAL MANAGEMENT.

Tho Duties Merged Into the Once He Has
Held as Third Vice President for some
Time-The Official Announceme mt What
1t Promises for the Future
President r. Z. Cable, of the Rock
Island road, has, issued the following
circular, providing for the vacancy
caused by the resignation of General
Manager f. St. John.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-E. st. John
having resigned his position of gen.
eral manager of this company's lines,
to accept service with another COM
pany, w. II. Truesdale, third vice
president, will assume the duties Of
general manager in addition to the
duties of third vice president
r. R. CABLE.
This announcement which sustains
The ARGUS original prediction as to
who would be Mr.. St. Johns success
sor. despite the fact that others
prominent in the affairs of the road
have been mentioned, is one that
will be received with qualification in
Rock Island.
Mr.. Truesdale is the son of
OF DR.. c. Truesdale, and his
rise in the railroad world has
been little less than remarkable. He
left the Minneapolis Il st. Louis q
short time ago to take the third vice
presidency of the Rock Island, and
now has his duties so enlarged as to
become manager also of the operat-
ing department. He seems to be a
native born railroad general. His
work on the old Minneapolis & St.
Louis, first as vice president and af-
| terward as receiver, attracted the
attention of Mr.. Gable and other
great railway men, and his services
were in demand at once, but the
Rock Island got in ahead of other
corporations and elected him third
vice president.
| Two Great Offices in One.
The placing of the Office of general
manager in his hands practically
merges the traffic and operating de-
partments of the road and places
them both in Mr.. Truesdale's hands.
In word, the Office of general man
ager of the Rock Island system is
practically abolished, and Mr.. Trues-
dale becomes directly clothed with
all responsibilities pertaining to the
running OF the great Rock Island
system, standing second only in
point of authority to President Cabl
whose purpose it is believed is to fit
him as his own successor when he de.
termines to retire from the active
duties and responsibilities he has SC
long filled with such distinction.
Rock Island is particularly proud
to know that. having given to the
railway which bears its name, its
president. has also provided it with
another official of Mr.. Truesdale's
/ ability.
