MISS FLAGLER MILDLY ROASTED
By the Preachers at the Funeral of the
 Negro Boy.

By the Preachers at the Funeral of the
 Negro Boy.
 Washington, Aug. 4.-Twenty-five hun -dred persons today attended the funeral services of Ernst Green, the little col ored boy shot by Miss Elizabeth Flagler last Friday. There were many white per sons in the vast audience that filled Shi- loh Baptist church and crowded the pavements outside the edifice. Contrary to expectations there was absolutely no excitement, and the remarks of the off ciating clergymen were decorously mod crate.
 Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of the church, was assisted by Rev. MT. Brooks. Rev. MT. Taylor dwelt chiefly on the idea that public sentiment was rather with Miss Flagler than the parents of the dead boy, and he hoped that time would soon come when color or social status would have no influence in determining punish ment of the taking of human life. Rev. MT. Brooks said that life was cheap in- deed when jury could render a verdict fixing the price of a boys life at the price of a few peaches and pears valued at g cents a bucket. The boy was indiscreet, but what was that act that deprived him of life. The woman, like Shylock was de- termned to have her own. The boy he said, would receive greater justice before the judgment seat than before a coro- ners jury. An immense crowd followed the hearse to the cemetery.

Delightful Summer Trip to the East.

On account of the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templars al Boston, Mass, August 26 to 30, various railroad com panies have generously offered the Knights Templar and the public an ex- ceedingly low rate of one fare for the round trip. The straight one fare round trip rate requires that passengers shall go and return over the same route, while by the payment of a small difference a va riable route may be obtained. That is, going one way and returning another. A great many very desra ble side trips may be taken advantage of at a very small cost.
 This is undoubtedly the best opportuni- ty ever offered to the people of the south to visit all points of interest in the north and east at nominal cost Among the most interesting places that can be visit ed are Niagara Falls, Thousand Isles, Rapids of the St. Lawrence river, White mountains, Chautauqua Saratoga and other famous watering places of the east
 It has been decided to put tickets on sale in Birmingham August IS. continu- ing until August 25. Tickets will be of sufficient dura tion to allow all artleS time enough to visit the places mentioned.
 MT. Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and it's connecting lines to carry special party on this oc- casion, and he will be glad to answer all questions pertaining to rate, sleeping car accommodations, etc.
 At this season of the year. a trip via Cincinnati is particularly interesting, ow- ing to the climate and the diversity of the country traversed
 For any other information call on MR Frank at his office, or call on or write R. F. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

WINFIELD SCOTT HARDING,
A Wel-Known Member of Birmingham Typo
 graphical Union, Dead.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon MT. Winfield Scott Harding passed from life to eternity. He had been sick scarcely a full day and despite the efforts of his at- tending physician the grim reaper claim ed him as his own.
 Some time during Saturday Mr. Hard ing ruptured a blood vessel in the stom- ach and he was taken to his room in the B. NJ. Allen building on Third avenue. and pr. Lewis summoned. Everything possible was done for him, but to no avail Mr. Carroll, bookbinder and Mir. Lovingood, a printer, attended the sick man and did all they could for his com fort.
 Deceased was about 3S years old and a practical printer. He was at one time president of Birmingham Typographical Union No. 104. and for several terms a delegate to the Birmingham Trades council from the typographical union. He was for many years resident of this city and was well known and liked. He leaves boy years old.
 It will be remembered that a short time ago Mrs. Harding, wife of deceased, died from an overdose of laudanum, and his sudden death yesterday leaves an or phan, who is at present with his grand mother Mrs Grubbs at Woodlawn.
 MT. Harding had brother at Mobile, who is an employe of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and he has been nou- fled of the death.
 No definite arrangements as to the funeral will be made until the brother is heard from, though 1t will be under the auspices of Birmingham Typographical union.
 Later.-Mr. w. s. Lopez of the typo graphical union received a telegram at 10 o'clock last night from MT. w. o. Hard ing, brother of the deceased, substantially as follows: Bury him beside his wife. Will be there tomorrow"
 The funeral will take place at o'clock. Rev. J. A. Bryan of the Third Presby- terian church will probably officiate.

"DoN'T BLAME THE DOCTOR" An Alcoholic Wreck Takes the Laudanum
 Route at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. A. W.. Lambert, for several years manager of the Baltimore and Ohio hotel at Deer Creek, Oakley and Berkley Springs, w. Va, and formerly a well-known and re- spected citizen of Virginia, committed suicide here late yesterday evening. Lambert came here from New York city about three weeks ago and obtained a position as night clerk at the Hotel Ru- dolph, where he proved himself care fu and painstaking official. He was there but short time when he was found to be a heavy thinker. While in toxicated he left his position and for several days wandered around the. town. Becoming pennless he called at the AL bion hotel, where, after explaining his nosition and condition, he was given a room and board by the proprietor. It was at that hotel that he took his life yesterday. A two ounce phial of laudu- mum, half filled, spoke for itself. It had been purchased by the dead man on Fri day at a drug store on Pacific avenue. Across the label was written, Don't blame the doctor, I told him a story. Lambert"
 After viewing the body the county phy- sician deemed an inquest unnecessary A relative who had been advised of Lam bert's act came to the city and escorted the remains away for burial.

BAND PLAYED TO FOOL FEM
Additional Particulars of the Riot at Spring Valley lII.-t Was Very Cow
 ardly Attack.

Princeton. H., Aug. 4.-The Italians of Spring Valley broke out today in a war upon the negroes. with view of either massac acreing them or driving them from within the city limits. The following negroes were seriously injured:
 Granville Lewis. aged 45 years. shot in head and clubbed with rifles, and face and neck badly lacerated. may die.
 Glenn Martin, aged S2 years, shot in tha back of the head with a rifle ball, thirty buchshot in the back and shoulders, seri- ously injured.
 Norman Byrd, aged S6 years, shot in the neck and head badly bruised, inter- nal injuries.
 Mrs. Byrd, aged 31 years, wife of the former shot in the right cheek and arm.
 Maria Byrd, daughter of former, aged IA years, shot in the breast, may prove fatal.
 William Lee, aged 34 years, kicked and trampled upon.
 lube Sterritt, aged 47 years, trampled upon, face lacerated and injured internal ly, badly cut by barbed wire fence in at- tempting to escape from the mob.
 Oscar Prim head bruised with rocks.
 Silas Burken, bruised with clubs and shot at about thirty times.
 Jud Stuart, bad wound in the head from clubs.
 Jim Kelly, age 26, badly bruised and internally injured.
 Frank Turner, aged 6S years, shot twice in the back of the head and shoulders by about forty buckshot.
 Frank Burns, head badly bruised, trampled upon and internally injured.
 The Italians for months have wished to drive the negroes out of the mining belt, and today plausible excuse for doing so presented itself. At 1 o'clock this morn- ing an Italian was attacked on the pub lie highway by four negroes and robbed and shot four times, from the effects of which, his physician says, he cannot live until morning. A mass meeting of the citizens was called and at 10 o'clock mob of over 300 gathered and started out for the negro village, which is located two miles west of Spring Valley. They were headed by the Spring Valley Italian band, and to deceive the negroes into thinking the assembly a peaceable one this band rendered several national airs.
 The negroes as a result remained in their homes. The Italians fell on to them like lot of Apache Indians The men were dragged out, clubbed, trampled upon and made the target for the shot guns rifles and small arms the mob had brought with them. The women were in suited, slapped and two of them, while begging for mercy, were shot down and fatally injured.
 Sheriff Clark of Princeton was tele- graphed for and arrived on the ground with posse, but came too late, as the work had long been done before he ar rived. The negroes are terror-stricken over the surrounding hills, and tonight are sleeping under trees and in barns, with the exception of a few, whom the farmers are sheltering. Many of the in- iured are expected to die before morn ing. No arrests have been made as yet.

GAY SCENE AT COWEs.

Valuable Trophies Attract an Unusually
 Large Number of Yachts.
 Cowes Isle of Wight, Aug. 4.-Cowes Roads today presented a brilliant sight at least 100 yachts being anchored there The gathering of yachts is the finest in the history of the royal yacht squadron.
 The number of large yachts now here is much greater than usually takes part in the Cowes regatta, owing probably to the fact that the cup offered by Lord Iveagh valued at f200, open to schooners in cruis- ing trim, will be sailed for over the queens course on Wednesday, This is the first year this cup has been offered Another new prize this season is a cup offered by Emperor William of Germany for schooners and yawls of European build, of forty tons and upwards in cruis- ing trim. the race for which will take place on Friday. These two new trophies have. brought a number of yachts to Cowes which otherwise would not have taken part in the regatta

A CLEVER COUNTERFEIT.

It Is a-Silver Coin of the Issue of 1892.
 Last night an Age-Herald representa- tive was shown a counterfeit half dollar of the 1892 issue, which was about as Clever a piece of work of that character as one generally sees. It was almost perfect in mould and no one but a close observer would ever detect that 1t was made by a counterfeter. This half dol Jar has no doubt been circulating right along with genuine coins of the same is- sue for many months without it's validity being questioned until last night gen tleman received it in change on one of the dummies yesterday afternoon. After sup per he pitched it out on the counter at one of the hotels to pay for his meal, and as it did not have the right ring it was closely inspected by number of gentle men and pronounced by all to be counter feif

IRON MARKET.

Cincinnati Aug. 3.-The past week has brought some indications of the return to the activity in buying that prevailed in May and June. Several classes of buy CTS have been holding off for a month past. They are first, the ones who cov- cred their requirements fully at low prices, and have heavy contracts run ming. Some of the largest buyers are in this list, but their contracts are run ming out, and deliveries for the most part are taken more rapidly than was indl- cated when the orders were placed. Sec ond, the buyers who have not had full confidence in the advance, and who have looked for lower prices in the fall. These have based their expectations largely on the current talk of many new furnaces going into blast, heavily increasing the output of iron. The fallacy of this ex- pectation we have pointed out number of times. Third, the consumers whose own business has not responded to the general improvement, and who do not wish to buy speculatively.
 All three of these classes are swinging around to active buying again. and there is reason to believe that before Octo- Der 1 a great deal of new business will be placed. The demand when it comes will have to be met by furnaces that are all most without exception heavily over sold, and who would prefer to see things rather quiet until their order books are run down to some extent. There seems to be not the slightest doubt but that the current rate of consumption will take all the iron that can be made by the TUT naces in the United States between now and January 1, and all that can be spared from stocks. If there should be any considerable addition to consump- ton in the fall, a scramble for iron would be almost certain to result
 Under such conditions prevailing, 1t IS d1, hnf south are very strong and independent Tn their views, and even at full schedule prices rather prefer not to take orders. The somewhat extraordinary spectacle is presented of furnaces and their agents referring buyers to rival producers, with the aim to divert business.
 The approach of the season when roll ing stock is fully employed in the move ment of the cotton crop in the south and the big grain crops in the west, suggests possible inconvenience to buyers who continue to run on the favorite hand to mouth policy that has prevailed for the past three years. Nearly all furnaces and furnace representatives are in more or less trouble because of the inability to fill orders according to the require ments of their trade.
 Charcoal irons which have been slow to respond to the general upward move ment, have felt the influence decidedly the past week. The Lake Superior fur naces are understood to have advanced their figures under some concert of &C., tion The Hinl1le furnaces advanced last week to $1400 at lake ports. Southern car wheel irons. which have been so long neglected, are again in good demand, and the leading furnace now in blast Rome, has it's products sold for three months ahead.
 The market closes firm on the follow ing basis of quotations, which are cash f. o. b., Cincinnati:

SCOTT TURNER AGAIN.

This Time He Figures in Real Murder.
 Memphis, Tenn, Aug. IA year ago Scott Turner, son of a prominent lawyer, was arrested at Denver on suspicion of being the murderer of Millionaire Shell at Chicago. Although he made haste to get away from jeopardy, he really en- joyed the notoriety. He is now the cen- tral figure in a murder from which it may not be so easy to extricate himself Yesterday he emptied a heavy charge of shot into Lee Hood, a young white man. who died today from the wound. The tragedy was enacted about a woman, with whom both men were on intimate terms. She was the wife of Turner un- til about three years ago, when she os- tained a divorce, but Turner continued to live in the house with her, Hood also being a boarder

IT WILL BE ALL OVER
if the Injured Child identifies Him as the
 Fiend.

Chattanooga, Aug. 1.-The 12-year-old daughter of James Redwhite, a farmer living near Hartman, Tenn, was out ragged by an unknown negro while on her way from Sunday school today. The ne- gro met the girl in the road and threat ened her with death if she made an out cry, dragged her into the bushes and as saulted her. The villain escaped before the girl could inform her friends, but the neighborhood is alive with searching parties, and if captured he will be lynched at once. An officer with blood hounds left Chattanooga for Hartman tonight to assist in the search. Late to- night two negroes were arrested, one of whom is believed to be the right party. If the child identifies him it will be all over with him shortly.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food. What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.
