A COAL NINE ON FIRE.
Lives of Miners Saved BY the HerOism
OF a Young Man.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 31.-Fire was
discovered early tonight in the Sturges
mine of the New York, Ontario and
Western Railroad colliery at Peckville.
The flames first appeared in the pump
house and spread to the barn where
there were seventeen mules. All but
three of the animals were burned to
death.
But for the heroism of Edward Will
liams, aged % who had charge of the
pump, a terrible catastrophe would prob
ably have occurred. He ran through
the mines, warning his fellow workmen
of their danger They Immediately
sought the air shaft, and escaped through
dense volumes of smoke. Williams was
overcome by the smoke and was brought
to the surface in stupifed condition.
The damage will not exceed So, 500.

VIGILANT BEATEN AGAIN.
Now Admitted that the Defender is by
Far the Superior Boat.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 31.-The De-
fender beat the Vigilant to. day in the
run of 40 miles from New London to
this point, and beat her so badly that
the latter's friends must now admit that
the new boat is better than the old. How
much better cannot be stated, as no
reasonable comparison of the champion
of 1898, and the Vigilant of 1895, can
be made, only by the handful of peo-
pie who know about what the Defender
will give to the Vigilant in the mat
ter of time allowances. Concerning
this matter, an Associated Press reporter
was told to-day by yachtsman who is
in position to know, that the Defender
should allow the Vigilant four minutes
OF thereabouts on forty mile race, such
as that of to day. If this is true, the
Defender did all that could have been
asked of her, beating the Vigilant by at
least eight minutes.
Just at the start Vigilants mainsail
was split, but the accident had no appre-
ciable effect on the result of the race.
The tear was low down, near the foot of
the sail, and the yacht was going with
freedom. The wind was abeam and
gave the two men who were sent out on
the boom to make the necessary patches
no difficulty at all. They had no trouble
in stopping the hole, sewing on new can
vass, and the entire incident cannot, it
is said by experts, initiate against the
Vigilant by more than fifty seconds, at
the outside, and probably not over
twenty seconds.
II the advancement continues at the
ratio displayed between the sail of yes
terday and that of to-day the vigiiant
will be nowhere tomorrow. 1t was
almost a run with spinnakers to-day,
and yet the Defender gained at every
point. The finish showed the new boat
to be twelve minutes and two seconds to
the good on actual time.
The following is the time at start and
finish:

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 81. The
Sheriff's posse returned from Brookside,
the scene of last nights race riot, to day,
bringing with them ten negro rioters
who had been arrested, two having been
rescued from the enraged white miners
after ropes had been placed about their
necks, preparatory to hanging them.
Half dozen officers were left at Brook
side to arrest other rioters and prevent
further trouble.
Investigation showed that the negroes
whom deputies Woods and Baxter went
to arrest were entrenched in ditch,
strongly reinforced, and poured muir
derous. fire out from their cover, shoot
ing down two officers at the first volley.
neinforcements came to the whites but
the negroes never ceased firing until
their ammunition was exhausted. Then
they fled to the woods, the whites in
pursuit.
Three dead negroes are reported found
and one wounded. One woman is among
the rioters arrested. Half dozen Wemen
took part in the riot. All is quiet now,
but single pistol shot would precipitate
more serious trouble. All possible ann
munition has been centered at Brook
side in case of another attack.
The scene of the riot is mining camp,
Brookside, twenty miles from Birming
ham. Yesterday Mine Boss Culverhouse,
of the Sloss Iron and Steel Company, dis
charged negro driver in the mines
named jim Smith. Culverhouse and
Smith had dispute and the former or
dered the latter to yacate the house he
occupied.
Smith refused to obey these orders and
Deputy Sheriff A. I. Wood was called
upon to arrest him for trespassing.
Wood swore in Joel Baxter, a citizen, as
speeial. deputy sheriff, and last night
the two went TO arrest Smith.
The latter had evidently been expect
ing them and was prepared. he na0
Winchester rifle and fired at the officers
as they approached. Wood was shot
through the head and heart and instant
ly killed. Baxter received a wound
which caused death soon afterward.
A number of citizens took the part of
the officers and a number of negroes
joined Smith. The result was a pitched
battle between the races. Over 100
shots were fred with the above result.
The fighting lasted over an hour.
Bitter feeling has long existed between
the whites and the negro miners at
Brookside and it only required such
tragedy as occurred when Deputies
Woods and Baxter were killed to night
to kindle the feudal flame
The sheriff's posse reached Brookside
at o'clock this morning, They found
that two officers and three negroes had
been killed The bodies of the latter lay
in the woods, where they bad fallen.
Will Albert and Charles jenkins, col
ored, had just been captured by the white
miners who had placed ropes about the
negroes necks and were about to string
them up when the officers rescued them.

CLEVELAND, O., July 31.--A crisis
seemed imminent at the American Wire
Works this morning, where $500 men
are on a strike. Fifteen hundred men
were gathered around the works to-day,
and as the strikers had avowed their
intention of preventing any men from
going to work, trouble seemed probable.

and late in the afternoon the companp's
terms were accepted. The strike was de-
clared off and the Imen will all return to
work between now and next Monday. By
the terms of the agreement, the laborers
will get an increase to $l.37 12 a day
to take effect at once. The fine wire
drawers get the ten per cent advance
they asked for but in installments, per
cent on August /, and per cent on No
vember /. The coarse wire drawers
also get the twenty per cent advance de-
manded, in installments of per cent on

and January.
Eleven hundred men are affected by
the advance, and it is claimed that the
settlement will also decide the strike at
