THE .ANNACK TROUBLES,

1t is reported from Tennessee that the
owners of the great coal mines in the
south have entered into combination
with capital Of .51OOOOUOOO to regulate
tho output and price OF the product.
This, it IS claimed, iR necessary because
Of the ruinousiy low figure to which coal
bias been forced by active and unwar-
ranted competition, it having been sold
as low us G5 cents per ton. 1t is all right
for these capitalists TO enter into deal
for their protection, for it is evident
that coal cannot be sold for G., cents and
miners paid living wages But the i'm
portant question is, will wages have II
corresponding rise with the price of coal.
1t is TO be hoped that they will and if
this be done the workiugman can stand
it for time at least IT rot there is
likely to be trouble. Competition by
which the wage worker is the only suf
ferer should no longer exist.

ENT CITIZENS,

Evidences continually multiply of the
little interest that citizens take in mat
ters that most concerns them. They pay
no heed to municipal affairs until it is
too late and then they register kick.
A case in point occurred in Helena Mon
day. A special election is to be held in
that city TO determine whether the mu-
nicipality shall own the waterworks.
This will involve large expenditure and
is a question upon which only property
holders can vote. The registration was
held Monday and only 600 people regis
tered. How absurd and yet how char,
acterietic this is. Men and women who
pride themselves on being good citizens
consider it too much trouble to register
and vote on a proposition involving at
least balf a million of dollars. 1t ia a won

they are.

A Generals Daughter Sends Bullet
Through IA Lads Body The Heavy Price
Of Stolen Fruit-The Homicide Declared
Unintentionai and the S'oun; N Discharged
by the Coroner--The Greatest Excite-
ment Of Recent Years In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Miss Eliza.
beth Flagler, daughter of Brig Gen.
Daniel W. Flagler, chief of ordnance,
United States army, shot and killed
colored youth named Ernest Green,
whom she detected stealing fruit at the
suburban residence of her ia ther, about
noon yesterday, and was discharged
by the coroner last evening on the
ground that the homicide was unin-
tentional.
No tragedy of recent years in Wash
ington has caused such sensation, or
been fraught with inore immediate ex-
citement in the neigh borhood of its oc-
currence.
The residence of Gen. Flagler is in
the northwestern section of Washing
ton, on California avenue. and the
grounds surrounding it have been care
fully cultivated for the production OF
fruit and flowers, and this attraction
was the indirect cause Of yesterdays
fatal event.
Miss Flagler, who is between 25 and
30 years old, saw some one busily en-
gagged in gathering fruit from one Of
the trees in the garden. A demand to
leave the premises not being immedi'
ately complied with. the lady, without
aay further intention than to frighten
away the intruder, discharged the con-
tents OF AN army revolver in the direc.
ton of the plunderer. The bullet
plowed through the body OF the boy,
no was about Is years old, killing
him instantly.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
The Man Who Volunteered to Open II

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. A-Early last
evening box about one foot square
was delivered by an expressman at the
home of d. w. II. Moreland, member
of the water commission and promi-
nent Pingree official. The family was
suspicious of the contents of the box
and ordered it conveyed into the back
yard. Mr.. Moreland inspected the
box, but refused to open it.
William Takesbury, delivery clerk,
happened along and volunteered to
open the box. He went at it with
hammer, Mr.. Moreland standing in
the background. Suddenly there was
terrific explosion. The clerk re-
ceived the full force Of the internal
machine, for such it proved to be. His
face and hands were badly burned
An examination showed the box was
loaded with nitro-glycerine and was
srong enough to have killed dozen
men. By some lucky chance the ma
chine did not explode with full force.

AN APPEAL
For Funds to Aid Mrs Waller and Her
Family to Reach America.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-NIessrs Cram
mond Kennedy, John NJ. Langston
and w. Il. McGuire, counsel in behalf
of John L. Waller, ex-United States
consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, have
issued an appeal asking for contribu.
tions to fund which will enable Mrs.
Waller and her family, now at Manri-
thus, to reach the United States. After
narrating the facts in connection with
Waller's arrest, conviction and SEN
tence by the French officials, the ap-
peal proceeds:
Funds are needed to bring Mrs.
Waller and her family home. She has
important evidence in support OF her
husbands innocence OF the charge on
which he was convicted by the French
court-martial at Tamatave, The de-
partment OF state is inquiring into
Waler's claim against the French gov
ernment for illegal arrest and impris
onment and the virtual confscation OF
valuable concession which had been
granted to him by the queen OF NADIA
pascar, but has no funds available for
bringing Mrs. Waller and her children
to the United States,
"Mr Waller was one Of the leading
men of color in this country; his eff.
forts and sacrifices in behalf of negro
elevation cannot be ovcrlooked; and it
is hoped that systematic and immedi-
ate efforts will be made by the colored
people, in their churches and through
other agencies, to raise funds for the
relief of his needy and unfortunate
family.
ut is believed that a grievous wrong
has been done to Waller and Bray by
the French military authorities in
their war of conquest against Nadia
gascar, for which, sooner or later,
apology will be made 10 the United
States and indemnity paid to the suf'
ferers.
But this appeal is made to citizens
of the United States without regard tc
the question of Walters guilt or in
nocence. His wife and family are
American citizens and through nc
fault of theirs are destitute and help
less far away from home. 1t is to be
regretted that the government has M
funds available for such cases as thai
of Mrs. Walters family, and it is OF
this account that an appeal is made t.
the general public
"All contributions may be sent tc
the department OF state"

A Lynching at Meridian.

Charlie Burwell, an aged negro about
G5 years old, was lynched near Meridian
one night last week. 1t was at first
s opposed that he had been hanged for
completely in some OF the hold-ups and
attempted murders in that vicinity,
which recently has stirred tie people
to fever heat
1t was though: that he was concerned
in the Farmer outrage, which occurred
within stones throw of where he was
hanged. On the night of July ith, Lewis
Farmer and his wife, who run small
,tore about two miles from there, were
murderously assaulted and left for dead,
after which their store was robbed. The
perpetrators escaped, and at present
several suspects arc now confined in
iail. As already stated, it was thought
that he was one of the parties to the
crime.
Later developments seem to fasten
The lynching on the real culprits, since
IL is learned that this old negro, Charles
Burwcll, was promised reward OF $3.50
to ferret out the guilty parties, and this
becoming known to them they went to
his house, dragged him to Sowashee
bridge and strung him from beam.
