SHOT DOWN BY TRAMPS.
Two Citizens of an Indiana
Town Receive Fatal
Wounds.
Gang They. Were Attempting
to Drive Out.

MARION, IND, Aug. 11.-There was a
desperate battle between gang of tramps
and posse of citizens in the suburbs of
the city of Marion Friday night in which
two of the citizens received wounds that
will prove fatal. They were Otto Nc
Feeley and Charles Webster.
For ten days or more the people in the
immediate vicinity of Marion have suf-
fered from the depredations of tramps and
a number have been arrested and placed in
Jail, but arrests were discouraged because
of the expense to the authorities and prac-
tical immunity was thus guaranteed. Fri
day camp was formed by the tramps
and during the day as many as fifty con-
gregated about the place and babe defiance
to the people. During the day numerous
robberies were committed, and at night
the people who had suffered from the dep
relations. feeling that their property was
not safe while the tramps were in the
vicinity, determined to drive them away.
Some twenty-five citizens appeared at
the camp and peremptorily ordered the
tramps to leave. The order was met with
defiant refusal and the citizens fired in the
air. The tramps at once deserted the camp
and from places of concealment fired into
the crowd. 1t was not supposed that they
were armed, but the citizens returned the
attack and running fight which was kept
lodged behind railroad cars and kept up
the fight by firing whenever citizen ex-
posed himself and the fire was returned by
the citizens.
McFeeley and Webster will both die.
None of The tramps, as far as known, were
hurt. Several arrests were made, but the
men captured claim they did no shooting.

1t was more for this purpose than to make
money that the Argonaut was launched on
the journalistic sea.
He went into the matter with energy,
and as in other ventures in which he had
embarked before it was success from the
start. To his own surprise the circulation
of the paper went beyond his anticipa-
lions. The paper was an impress of his
strong individuality. His style of writing
was terse and incisive, and what
he wrote commanded attention. For q
number of years, too, he had written
editorials for the Chronicle. 1t Was the
success of the Argonaut that induced Mr..
Pixley to inaugurate novel feature in the
way of daily paper. 1t was to publish a
journal containing the news of the day in
a condensed and epigrammatic form. In
fact, he called the paper The Epigram.
1t was short-lived, though, and even
the sparkling editorial squibs which
he contributed to it could not force it into
popularity. The paper died before month
had expired. Mr.. Pixley then devoted all
his energies toward improving his pet
the Argonaut-and for years his caustic
comments and scintillating editorials made
that journal one of the foremost weeklies
of the Pacific Coast.
When in 1879 General Grant returned
from his tour of the world and arrived in
this City Mr.. Pixley was made chairman
of the committee of citizens appointed to
receive and tender the Inequalities of the
CITY to the distinguished soldier and ex-
President. This he did in a way that
placed General Grant entirely at home
from the moment that he set foot in Cal
ifornia.
Recently Mr.. Pixley began to feel the
advance of years, and the strain upon his
energies was SO strong that he decided to
retire from active work in journalism. So
he sold his interest in the Argonaut, and
since then the journal has ceased to be a
reflex of the rugged opinions of its
founder.
During his years of activity Mr.. Pixley
accumulated q fortune, and the estate
which he leaves is reckoned a valuable one
He owned the family homestead on Union
and Steiner streets, which occupies square
block. Besides other City property he
owned a fine ranch at Mill Valley, in
Marin County.
The last two or three years of his life Mr..
Pixley spent quietly with his family either
at the Union-street home or at the Mill
Valley ranch. He was in every way a
home man, and loved to surround himself
with all that art and nature can produce.
As man he was loved by many
who had enjoyed his charity and
bounty. His purse was always
open, and whatever he dispensed was done
in a hearty, unostentatious manner. His
home was the abode of lavish hospitality
to friends and relatives. His family there
consisted of his wife, two adopted children
and the widow of his brother, who was
burned to death on the Marin County
ranch during the raging. of forest fire.

PREACHED ON LYNCH|NG,
Sensational Sermon of the
Pastor of a Jacksonville
Church.
Claims Negroes Are Killed Merely
to Satisfy a Passion for Human
Blood.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 11.-Rev.
J. Milton Waldron preached a sensational
sermon here tonight on lynchings. He
used as his text the words of Job iv IS and
Proverbs xiv "a, which are as follows:
They that plow iniquity and SOW wicked
ness reap the same. Righteousness ex-
alteth nation, but sin is reproach to any
people" He said:
The lynching of colored people began at the
close of the late Civil War. The former master
was unwilling to allow the ex-slave the same
political rights. In order to keep the negroes
from getting into power, and to get those out
OF power who had been put there by negro
voters, the whites, during reconstruction days,
many of them, organized Ku-Klux clans,
lynch1ngs and other terrorisms. These things,
the ground for political fraud, class legisla-
ton, etc., were kept up until the control OF
the Southern States came back into the hands
of the former slaye-owners.
But the habit OF disregarding law and the
passion for human blood had by this time be-
come fixed with many of the lower classes
SO that later, whenever the colored man did
anything that opposed this class OF whites, or
whenever they wanted to cover up their own
vile Deeds they visited their displeasure and
practiced their trickery upon him by taking
his life.
In reconstruction days the killing of negroes
was condoned because it was said to be neces
sary to get the Government into the hands oil
the Southern whites When it was no longer
for that purpose some other resource had TO be
resorted to to shield those who had become set
in their ways and must shed human blood.
Now and then colored man was found who
had been brute enough to initiate his white
neighbor. If his victim was white woman
the crime was thought to justify the white in
taking the law into his own hands and lynch
ing and even burning the negro.
From lynching for crime and supposed crime
the habit has grown until now colored men,
women and even children are lynched in the
South. This tends to make the negro revenge
full and the spirit of lawlessness, murder and
revenge has spread among both white and
black in the South until it has become alarm
ing. Something must be done and done at
once or our fair Southern land is forever
doomed

nf MericGaA.

CITY OF MEXICO, MEXICO, Aug. H.
While the family of Gergerio Jiminez was
sleeping at midnight, August 6, in Chill
nolopa, near Texcoco, the house was at
tackled by eight bandits. Jiminez was
aroused by the demonstration outside the
house and took his pistol aud went to the
door to see what was the matter. Mean
time all the family had awakened and
accompanied Jiminez.
When the door was opened the bandits
rushed in upon Jiminez with machetes,
cutting him severely, but he heroically
stood by his post and began firing on his
assailants, who returned the fire. Jiminez'
sister was shot through the arm and his
brother cut down with machetes.
Mounted police hearing the firing came
riding up, but the bandits took alarm and
fed. The district government and the
government of the State of Mexia are de-
termined to put stop to these outrages,
and already many important arrests have
been made.

sPARs FOR THE VALNYRIE III
Neto Rigging Carefully Guarded Upon Its
4rriUaL at NetU York.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
Anchor Line steamer Furnessia, which
arrived tonight from Glasgow, had on
board, lashed fast to her main deck for
ward, the spars for the champion British
yacht Yalkyrie Ill, which is now crossing
the Atlantic, bound for this port, to race
the Defender for the Americas cup In
all there are thirteen sticks done up Sc
curely in layer after layer of burlap.
H. Maitland Kersey. the personal rep
resentative of Lord Dunraven in this coun-
try, to whom the spars are consigned, gave
orders that no one should be allowed to
see the sticks. They were guarded as
though of gold, not steel or wood. Canny
Scotchmen sat on the spars tonight To-
morrow the spars will probably be sent
down to Erie basin or Bayridge, where
they will be fitted to the Valkyrie when
she completes her trip from Glasgow. The
Furnessia also brought two suits of racing
sails for the Valkyrie.

FLOODS and High Winds Damage Build
fngs and Crops.
DANSVILLE, N. Y, Aug. 11.-One OF
the worst wind and rain storms of the sea-
son passed over this place tonight. The
rain tell in torrents for over two hours and
the streams were flooded to great depth
with streams of water from the head of
the valley. The gale was SO terrific that
many barns were unroofed and number
less trees uprooted. The storm was ac-
companied by vivid lightning which
struck in several places in the outskirts of
the town. Fields of grain were fattened
to the ground, corn being tangled up and
blown down. Mud Creek, running through
the farms of the east side, overlooked its
banks and washed out large patches of
corn, potatoes and beans.
A cloudburst on the Lackawanna caused
bad landslide and the road along the
hillside was washed out and cut badly in
many places. The storm is remarkable
for the large volume of water that fell in
the short space OF time, nearly four inches
being registered.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. 1.-THE
Navy Department is finding considerable
difficulty in enlisting men to fill existing

1t is authoritatively stated at the depart
ment that neither the second class battle
