THIS MEANS MORE TROUBLE.
Barney RolIo, the Italian Assaulted by Negroes, Is Dead-The Mayor Is Playing
 a Farce.

Princeton, H., Aug. 9.-Barney Rollo, the Italian who was held up on the highway Sunday morning and shot three times. died tonight It was the first crime charged to the negroes which led to the murderous attack on the blacks The funeral will be held Sunday and is sure to be largely attended. The extra police force of white men was put on by the mayor at the request Of the mer- chants but it was really farce. The business men demanded an increase or the force in order to protect thelr stores from mob violence. The mayor said all right and at once named the business men who had made the request. Among them was Manager Danzell and the en- fire clerical force of the Spring Valley Coal company, who have pressing work to attend to now. These men, however, turned the tables on the mayor by de- manding fire arms as officers of the law. The mayor then said they should return to their places of business and when he was ready for them he would let them know. A business man remarked be- fore the meeting broke up: NOW, MT Mayor we are ready to serve in any emergency when you call upon us, as YOU say you will, but we want you to understand that we want you to lead us in such an emergency, for we will know that we will then be at safe dis tance and safe from harm"
 The ten colored men who were ap- pointed have armed themselves mostly with horse pistols, which are considered sufficient to protect the colored settle ment, provided they keep together.
 Among the business men of Spring Val lev there is much apprehension over the situation tonight and meeting was held to take some concerted action, which has been kept secret.
 The committee of colored people from Chicago arrived at Seatonvile during the day, and after Investigating the trouble they drove to Spring Valley to learn more.
 The whistles sounded tonight for work tomorrow and unless trouble is caused by the news of the death of Rollo about 1000 men will go to work in the mines.
 Representative Buckner of Chicago Is still in the city and says he will remain there until satisfied the colored people are going to be protected in their rights.

the naval reserve lands, which have been the subject of much investigation lately. The order throws open for entry 44,260 acres of land situated in Alachua, Levy. Lafayette, St. Jones, Suwanee and Santa Rosa counties.
 A few months since all of the naval re- serve lands in the state were transferred to the department of the interior for homestead entry and when the report reached this state there was a rush of settlers to secure land. A large number of people staked off tracts of 160 acres and erected rude houses upon the same. This was done in order to secure the provision of homesteading in case the lands were declared open to entry. For some reason or other the secretary of the interior did not declare the land open and nothing more was heard of the matter until a dispatch appeared in the Times Union to the effect that a discovery had been made in the office of the assistant secretary of the interior that the land all luded to had been deeded to the state under the swamp act of 1850.
 This report caused considerable con sternation among the squatters men toned above, as it deprived them of the right to the land. The register and re- ceiver here at once instituted an inves- tigation. which has resulted in the above order

SWEDISH INCONSISTENCIES.
Several Representative Norsemen in the City,
 We'll Pleased With Alabama.


 On the Alabama Great Southern train that arrived from the north at 1:15 yes terday afternoon came Rev. Mr. Thor nell, Rev. Mir Hulkedson, MT. Johanson and several other Swedish gentlemen from Iowa and Minnesota. They are here in the intrest of a colony of Swedes now located in the states named, but who desire to come south.
 In conversation with an Age-Herald re- porter they stated that they were greatly surprised at the immense amount of corn they saw in the fields between Chattanooga and this city, and that this and other things had convinced them that the soil of this state Is much more fertile than they had expected to find it.
 They sated that the heat here was not near so great as in the northwest from whence they came.
 The gentlemen have every appearance of being industrious and well-to-do far mers, and are very intelligent. They would be valuable addition to the popu- lation of any community.
 An Age-Herald reporter was informed that nineteen northern home-seekers stopped over at Decatur yesterday, they having come south on the Louisville and Nashville road. A large number also stopped at Athens.
 The sale of several thousand acres to home seekers was reported

HER WHEEL CHAIN BROKE.
Two Lake Steamers in CoIIision--0ne Life
 Is Lost.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 9.-The steamers Britannia and Russia were in collision in the Detroit river just below Wyan- dotte this evening. The Britannia was sunk and one of her firemen drowned.
 The Russia was badly damaged but managed to keep afloat until she reached the Detroit dry dock. The Britannia was bound down. loaded with ore for Erie. The Russia was bound up, with a load of package freight. The steamers ex- changed the proper passage signals, but just before they reached each other the wheel chain of the Britannia broke and she took a sudden sheer across the bow of the Russia. There was no time to avoid a collision. The Russia struck her on the starboard side, amidships, opening a big gap. The Britannia filled and sank immediately in 30 feet of water. All of the crew, with the exception of a fireman called Charley, escaped. He was unable to reach the deck before the vessel sunk. The Russia had a hole stove in her bow and she began to settle Her pumps were set going and she managed to reach the dry dock, where she was immediately docketed for repairs.
 The Britannia was a wooden vessel of 1121 tons register. She was built in 1S6S at West Bay City, Mich, and was owned by w J. White of Cleveland. She was valued at $60000 and is fully covered by insurance.

SIND GOALS 10 NEWCASTLE
Alabama Iron Is to Make Penn
 syIvania Steel
SHIPMENTS TO BEGIN SOON
The Output of the Alice Furnace Will Be Taken by Carnegie and Others Mo-
 table Announcement.

That Birmingham is on the eve of m era of steel is now a certainty.
 The assertion is based upon the fact that one of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad companys furnace plants IS now making iron that is convertible into steel without intricate or costly patent processes.
 An Age-Herald reporter, in conversa- tion with MT. J. Bowron of the Tennessee company, was informed that the Alice plant for the past three weeks has been making this iron exactly in conformity with the specifications laid down by Carnegie. Further than this, the re- porter was informed that the iron was being made out of the common, everday run of Red mountain ore and not out of material which had to be imported from other districts.
 The iron being made at the Alice will be put on board cars, beginning next week, and shipped to points in Ohio and Indiana, where orders have already been secured for it. The first iron of like kind ever made in the south was run at one of the South Pittsburg furnaces in 1890 and worked up at Chattanooga The next was made at tke Little Belle at Bessemer in 1893 and worked up al Fort Payne, This latter iron was made from brown ore secured at much greater cost than that now being used at the Alice plant, hence the assertion that the era Of steel for Birmingham is in sight and the era of iron fast fading from view.
 The only hinge in the past, said Mir Bowron, upon building q steel plant here was the fear of capital that the iron necessary coud not be run from the ores of this district without other and costly patent processes. Now, that this inn portant barrier has been broken down he feels certain that the greatest obstacle ;t,, nd a steel should not be made here and the double freight tolls accruing from send ing iron away and getting back steel slabs and bllets cut off.

- ----77----7---------- IT WAS HORRIBLE.
The Hanging of Murderer Smith Was Shock ing Botch-The Rope Severed
 His Head.

San Quentin, Cal, Aug. 9.-When Smith stood upon the trap he protested his in- nocence and said he had the proud dis tinction of being the first man in Cali fornia to be legally murdered.
 Smith weighed 220 pounds. The drop was adjusted for only feet, owing to this fact. Even that was too much. As he fell the moose cut into the flesh from ear to ear, almost severing the head from the body. Blood spurted in every direc- tion and trickled down the body to the floor. The dripping of the blood was the only sound that broke the silence of the death chamber In six minutes he was pronounced dead.
 When the black cap was removed it was found that a portion of the spinal chord had been forced through the flesh and the head was connected with the body only with the muscles of the neck.

Alderman Ullman Wires That August In-
 terest Is Provided For.
 Alderman Meade yesterday received the following telegram from Alderman Ullman, who is now in Baltimore: "Everything arranged. August interest provided for.'
 As the Age-Herald has heretofore stated the city council some time ago au- thorized Steiner Bros to take in hand the matter of securing an extension in the interest payments on the city's bonded debt.
 About month ago MT. Sig Steiner, his attorney, Judge Howze, and Aldermen Meade and Ullman went north to meet the bondholders and see what could be done Baltimore was the first place at which they stopped.
 From there they went to New York and Chicago, and then returned to Baltimore from which place the telegram received by Captain Meade yesterday was sent.
 The original resolution confepring this authority on Steiner Bros. limited the time to July 15 but on Captain Meade's s return to the city called meeting was held and the time extended thirty days.

Would Have Been Lost.
 San Diego, Cal, Aug. 9.-The Sun prints the news that the Monterey blew out the tubes of her boilers just before entering here yesterday, and is left with only two Scotch boilers that take from five to six hours to get up steam. The Ward boil CTS were put in as an experiment, and were expected to last twenty years whereas they have proved a failure in a little over two years. The purpose of the Ward boilers is to get up steam quickly, in from twenty to thirty min utes It is thought now they were over worked on the trial trip before she was commissioned.
 The first trouble was in May before going south to Panama, and after that the tubes constantly blew out and the steam condenser leaked. Had she been encountered by such gales as the Colima went through she would have been help
