NEGROES UNDER ARMS.
They Fire on the Whites, But Are
Soon Routed.

Winston. n. c., Aug. IA riot be-
tween whites and blacks, which came near
terminating seriously, occurred here last
night. The trouble originated over d re-
port given out about O'Clock at all Of
the colored churches that a crowd of
whites were going 10 lynch Arthur Tuttle,
who is being tried here for the murder Of
Policeman Vickers last May. The ne
groes organized into a band numbering
some 800 and marched to the jail. where
they remained for several hours. They
were armed with pistols ana guns.
Mayor Gray addressed the negroes, as
suring them that there was no danger of
the lynching, and begging them to dis
perse. Sheriff Macarthur and two Of Win
ston's lawyers also urged the band 10 go
away, telling them there was no occa-
sion for their conduct. Judge Brown, who
Is holding court, was next upon the scene.
He notified the negroes that they were vi
olating the law; that Tuttle was getting
fair trial. and that he would be respon-
sible for his protection. The negroes told
his honor that they would disperse If
the sheriff would place twenty officers on
guard around the Jail. This was done,
but many of the mob refused to leave.
Sheriff Macarthur, in response to an or
Forsyth Rihemen and number of depu-
ties. His honor also instructed the sher-
ih to arrest all negroes who refused to
disperse. The mob began firing on the
whites. Several officers being struck
with small bird shot, but none were hurt
seriously. Some $50 shots were fired by
the rifemen and negroes, but not one was
killed. The negroes broke and ran when
the militia began shooting. Fourteen of
the rioters are in Jail. Everything is
quiet at noon. The trial of Tuttle will
probably be concluded this evening.
Upon. assembling of court Judge
Brown summoned the grand jury before
him and instructed them to investigate
as to who was responsible for last
nights riot and see that they were pun
ished. Winston's city fathers to-day in
structed Mayor Gray to order a Cat
ling gun from Charlotte and ask the
authorities there to furnish a man to
operate it. The mayor, chief of police and
sheriff were also instructed TO make all
necessary arrangements for protection
of the city tonight, and procure all the
arms and ammunition needed.
Charlotte, n. c., Aug IA Gatling
gun under detachment of men left here
this afternoon for Winston. So far as is
known here at a late hour tonight all
is quiet there The sheriff believes that
the trouble is under control A large force
of special policemen has been sworn in
for the night. 1t is reported that 5000
negroes are massed near the town to-
night, but the report is doubtless sensa-
tiOnal

STRIKERS STILL DETERMINE.
An Early Settlement of the Difficulty
Now Thought ImpossIbIe.

Philadelphia. Aug 12.-In cordance
with their ultimatum. the thlt.-seven in
grain carpet manufacturers whose 5000
employees are on strike for an advance IN
wages of ~ per cent. opened the doors
of their mills this morning SO as 20
give the strikers an opportunity to return
to work The manufacturers agreed to
grant an advance on Dec. / If the strik-
ers would return to work to-day; other
wise they would call off all negotiations
and endeavor to fill their places with new
hands.
So far as could be learned none of
the strikers returned to work and an early
settlement of the strike, which has now
been in progress for five weeks is not
probable. A majority of the strikers held
shop meetings to-day and reiterated their
intention to remain out until the manu-
fucturers shall accede to their demands
In several of the mills affected a few
looms are being operated by new hands,
but the number is not sufficient to have
any effect on the strike
1t is stated that a wealthy man, whose
name could not be learned. and who is
in sympathy with the strikers, has made
a proposition to the weavers union, Of
fering to equip a large factory for the
weavers to operate on the cooperative
plan. 1t is said that a building, some dis
tance from Philadelphia, has been Sc
lected and that the union is considering
the offer.

Thefts Too Much for Him.

Thefts Too Much for Him.
Cleveland. o., Aug. Fit was discovered
early yesterday morning that George
Lochner. a bookkeeper at the work-house.
was short in his accounts to the extent
of 5000. Last night he died from the
shock
A warrant was issued shortly after the
shortage was discovered.
Lochner had lived an exemplary life
and had been regarded as a model young
man. The news of the defalcation came
as a great surprise. Mayor McKisson had
an interview with him during the after
noon, with the result that Lochner re-
funded a portion of the money. Loehner
was taken TO the county jail about 4
o'clock, very much depressed IN spirit
and evidently suffering acutely. He rap
idly showed alarming symptoms of III
ness, and physicians were summoned. 1t
became apparent that he was dying from
the shock caused by the discovery of his
peculatiOns and his arrest. Every effort
was made to rally his vital forces. but AT
Z o'clock he died. Physicians pronounced
the death to be directly due to shock.

THE DURANT MURDER CASE.
The Motion TO ImDeach Juror brown
Seemingly Unsuccessful.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-Before the Du-
rant case was resumed this morning
there was a discussion on hanging among
the attaches of the court in Durants
hearing, but the prisoner took no interest
whatever in it.
A large crowd was present to-day to
hear Judge Murphy's decision on the mo-
ton of District Attorney Barnes to ex-
cuse Juror Brown. The judge stated that
so far no evidence had been given to in-
dicate bad faith on the part of Brown in
the Howell counterfeiting case and no
evidence upon which TO impeach his hon
esty.
The court then went on to show that
the action of the district attorney may
have aroused the animosity of Juror
Brown against him. He therefore, deem
ed it his duty to allow the peremptory
challenge. The court then took up the de-
fendants motion for contempt proceed
ings against the newspaper which had
published matter connected with Juror
Brown, stating that in maintaining the
rights of the defendant there was but
one course for the court to pursue. That
is" the court said, 'by issuing citations,
and while they ought to be, and will be
issued if counsel insists upon it, I cannot
allow the proceedings in this case to be
delayed by contempt proceedings at this
time The papers presented by counsel
for defendant will be placed on file to be
acted on later
Thirty-two veniremen had been ex
amined fer the day without a juror be-
ing added to the eight in the box. An
adjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning.

Ecrcd by the Flames.

Philadelphia, Aug IA fire that threat
ened TO destroy the block bounded by
Franklin and Eighth streets. and CallOw-
hill and Buttonwood streets. with Willow
street. a small thoroughfare running east
and west between u. started at $50 o'clock
this morning in the folding paper box
factory of Brown n Bailey. No. 4l2 Frank
lin street The flames originated in the
basement. presumably from spontaneous
combustion. and the 100 girl employees rush
Ell TO the fire escape.
The flames. which were then
the frightened employees back into
the upper portion of the four
story building. but "a second attempt to
reach the street was successful, and the
police report that all escaped In safety.
SO rapidly did the fire burn, that in less
than a half hour after the flames were
discovered, Brown d Baileys building
was gutted. The flames spread TO the
adjoining nve-story brick building occu-
pied principally by }. W. Burk Sons a
Co, dealers in gas and electrical sup

an hour later this structure was also
gutted Portions or the walls of both
buildings fell ana several frcmen were
injured.
Rows OF dwellings on Callowhill, Frank
lin and Willow streets were destroyed or
damaged.

the individual losses could be definitely
learned this afternoon, but a conserva-
tive estimate places the total damage at
S3O0,000

his parents in the rear Of 726 Willow
street is supposed TO have been burned to
death. When the fire spread 10 the Roth

THE sLAYERs OF DINKINs.
1t Will Take Some Big Talk and Big
Money TO Clear Them.

Money to Clear Them.
Jackson, Miss. Aug. 12-The attention
of all Mississippians is now directed on
Brandon, the little town twelve miles
east Of here, where, on Thursday last,
Senator Dabney Marshall and three other
Vicksburgers shot and killed r. T. Din
kins. There is but one sentiment about
the matter here, or at Brandon, and the
impression is that the grand jury now in
session will indict the four murderers
in short order.
The men who used the guns to such
purpose are evidently impressed with the
idea that they are in serious trouble, and
that it is going to take some big talk
to get themselves out Of prison. They
have. therefore, employed the finest legal
talent in the state, among others being
Hon. A. j. McLaurin, democratic nominee
for governor; Congressman Tom Catch-
ings. Mai L. w. Magruder and NJ. Dabnay
of Vicksburg and Judge Sol. Calhoun Of
Jackson to defend them
The prosecution has as yet only engaged
one lawyer Hon. J. l.. McCaskill Of Bran
don. to assist the district attorney, but
will engage others, so that the trial is
destined to be the hottest sort of a coa-
test of legal forces.

THE CAPITAL is REASSURED.
BELIEF PREVAILS THAT CHINESE
OUTRAGES ARE AT AN END.

Cable Messages From the Naval Com
manders and From Minister DENLY
Restore Confidence i'm the Capital.
The Location of the Different NcS-
sells Of the Asintic Squadron-In-
stnnt Promises Of Protection and
Redress Given by the Chinese Au-
thorities to the American Minister.
Washington. Aug. l2.-Apprehension at
the state and navy departments over the
safety Of American missionaries IN China
has been greatly allayed through the re-
eeipts Of several official dispatches con-
tanning reassuring information leading to
the belief among these officially concerned
that native outbreaks against foreigners
have ceased for the present at least. Min
lister Denby has secured a promise OF
redress for outrages in the past and fu-
ture protection of American missionaries:
and Rear Admiral Carpenter. commanding
the United States naval forces in China,
has taken action looking to the relief cf
the anxiety of Americans in the Chinese
seaport by providing adequate means of
suppressing any further outbreak
Several cabegrams relative to the sit
uauon were received to-day by Acting
Secretary Adee Of the state department
and Acting Secretary McAdoo OF the navy
department Commander Newell of the
cruiser Detroit cabed that his vessel ar
rived at the Pagoda anchorage, nine
miles from Foo Chow, to-day, on his way
to the latter place, the nearest port to the
scene of the late outrage at Kucheng
and its vicinity. Admiral Carpenter also
cabled that he sailed to-day from Ma
gsah for Chee-Foo. The gunboat Ma
chias, one of the smallest vessels in the
navy, which, by reason of her lesser
draught, can do better service In these
waters than the greater Baltimore, Is
now at Chee-Foo and viii probably go
elsewhere on the Bostons arrival The
other vessels of the Asiatic station are
distributed in this way: The Yorktown
at Shanghai, the Concord at Chemulpo
Corea; the Petrol at Yokohama;
and the Monocacy at Port Ar
thur. The state department has
received a reply from Minister DENLY 20
the instructions cabled him on the 7th
inst, relative to the reported looting OF
American missionary property at Yung
Fuh near Foo Chow. Mr. DENLY says he
urgently represented the facts to the
affairs on the 10th, and obtained instant
promise of protection and redress. Yung
Fuh is believed by the officers of the
state department to be the same as Sung
Fuh, Fuy PAX and Ing Hok, mentioned
in the press telegrams, the variations IN
the name being doubtless due to erroneous
transmission over the trans-Siberian ca
bic, in the course of which many tran
scripuons and repetitions are necessary.
The department has again to-day ca biel
Admiral Carpenter regarding matters in
China and advising him TO keep in close
and constant communication with Minis
ter Denby.
Shanghai. Aug 12.-It Is reported here
that the japanese forces in the island

southern part of the island on Aug. g.
Severe fighting followed, but the Japan
ese won a complete victory. No details
Of the battle have been received.
