RACE CONFLICT BREWING,

Results in Threats of a

Whites in the Town OF Blythe Are
Armed and Prepared for
Emergencies.

AUGUSTA. GA, Sept. 13.-A special
to the Chronicle from Blythe, in this
county. twenty-five miles from here, says:
Bly, he is in a state of great excitement.
Several hundred armed negroes are sup
posed to be moving toward here and the
handful OF white residents are awaiting
them, not, however, without some fear,
though they are brave men and will make
firm stand. If there is TO be trouble it
will be some time later than this, as it is
not feared that the mob of negroes will
come before midnight. All day the whites
here have been waiting with guns and re-
Tolvers near at hand for an emergency.
Sheriff O'Connor, with Deputy Sheriffs
and posse of men, left Angus this
morning and arrived at Blythe at 8
o'clock. The cause OF the trouble is the
shooting of a negro. Steven Boland, by M.
A. Clark, for which the negroes threaten

was preceded by his celebrated scarlet
chair, carried by four men. Several bands
and division of marines from the warship
in the harbor fell into line behind the
Viceroy, followed by long deputation of
Cinnamon in their picturesque robes
Altogether it was procession of such Ori-
entail picturesqueness as the primeval
mountains never before looked down
upon-a procession in which Occident and
Orient came together, curiously COM
mingled.
The great Viceroy seemed delighted with
the demonstration in his honor, and es-
pecialiy with the homage of his country
men, who fell on one knee and raised
clasped hands to him as he passed
smilingly by. His shrewd, kindly face
beamed, his yellow jacket made the
brightest spot in the sunless day and his
cherished peacock fea'ber was displayed
falling from the back of his cap.
The gangplank of the Empress of China
was carpeted as for royalty with scarlet;
the ropes were wound with yellow and
draped with flags. As he was carried up
the PLANK in his scarlet chair the Chinese
dragon flag was run to the mainmast and
a salute of nine guns was fred from II. NJ.
s. Comus.
The absence of cheering was noticeable,
and gave an Oriental solemnity to the pro-
ceedings. All the ships in the harbor were
gayly decorated with rainbows of bunting,
and many of the roofs around displayed
kodak fiends blackly outlined with their
instruments against the pallid sky. Many
prominent cI;izens had cards of admission

catch glimpse of the Earl as he was car
ried aboard.
For this one day the whole usual social
order was subverted, and Cinnamon every
where took precedence of their white
brethren in the good-natured throng that
lined the wharf. 1t was emphatically
Chinaman's day.
Almost Immediately on reaching the
steamer, Ii Hung Chang granted audi
ence in the saloon to deputatlon of gor-
geously gowned Cinnamon, from whom
he received an address read from a scarlet
paper. During the audience mis- servant
several times put his pipe to his lips, and
all but smoked for the great potentate.
His suite is so ample that about all there
is left for the great man to do Is to draw
his own breath.
He appears to be in excellent health and
spirits and full ten years younger than
his pictures lead one to expect. He was
delighted with his transcontinental trip
and expressed high opinion OF Canada,
stating that he thought the Dominion had
splendid future before it.
As mark OF his appreciation of the
courtesies extended to him by the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad he conferred the or
der OF the Double Dragon upon A. E. La
lande OF the passenger department who
accompanied him on the journey. A SINH
lar honor was also bestowed upon DR..
Horsey, the Canadian Government repre-
sentative.

judge in Boulogne tomorrow with view
TO securing his extradition. 1t is stated
that his arrest is connected with the ar
rests of Bell and Wallace, the former hav-
ter in Rotterdam.
Lord Frederick Cavendish arrived in
Dublin on May 6, 1882, to be present at the
formal entry of the new Viceroy of Ire
land, Lord Spencer. During the day he
was engaged in official business at the
Castle, and later he left the Castle on foot
to walk in Phoenix Park. where he met
Mr.. Burke. 1t was a bright summer
evening, between and 8 O'Clock. scarcely
less light than at MONDAY, and there were
many people in the park. The two men
walked along the principal road until
they were within a few yards of the
Phoenix monument.
Some boys passed them and went around
the monument and when they returned
found the Chief Secretary and Mr.. Burke
lying on the ground dead and covered
with wounds. On examination it was
found that Mr.. Burke had received several
rtabs near the region of the heart and that
his throat had been cut. His clothing was
much torn and his hands bore marks of
fierce and protracted encounter. Lord
Frederick Cavendish had been stabbed in
several places about the chest.
The crime was witnessed by several per-
sons, who thought the participants were
roughs wrestling. Four men, who were
seen driving in car toward the monu-
ment, were known to be the murderers.
but for some time their identity could not
be established. The news of the assassina-
ton caused intense indignation and sor-
row. A reward of $4,000 was offered to
any one who should give information that
would lead to the conviction of the mur-
derers, and a further reward of $4,000 for
such other private information as should
lead to the same results; with free pardon
to any person not the actual perpetrator
of the murders and full protection in anv
part of her Majesty's dominions.
Many arrests were made, but the brief
est examination convinced the authorities
that the police were not even on the track
of the murderers AT last clews were OBJ
tanned and closely followed, and a large
mum Der of further arrests made. Among
the prisoners was James Carey, a town
councillor, who later turned informer. He
had lured other men to join the Inyinci-
bies, which was an inner circle of the
Fenian organization. the object of which
was to murder Government officials.
Carey had arranged the Phoenix Park as

and long before the hour set for his arrival
crowds lined the approaches to the depot

Chinese residents had erected handsome
and artistic arch on the bridge leading to
the wharf, and long line of Cinnamon,
il rich robes of blue, green, plum color,

Beecher's Ring.

Many persons in and out of Boston
know well the little shop under the Muse
um familiarly known as Remick's. 1t
has been the haunt in past years of many
a prominent man and woman, and the
owner has been consulted by little army
of notorieties regarding rare and costly
gems. Some 90 years ago Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, whose fondness for gems
was almost passion, and who never visit
ed Boston without stepping into this little
shop, found here an uncommonly beauti-
full aquamarine ring, which he bought and
wore for some time. During the first
visit of Miss Ellen Terry to this country
the actress lunched with Mr.. and Mrs
Beecher. In the course of her stay with
them she caught sight of this ring on Mr.
Beecher's hand and asked to examine it.
When it was handed to her and she had
displayed great enthusiasm over it, she
kissed it passionately several times. "Why
do you do that" inquired Mr.. Beecher.
"Simply because 1 love these gems so,"
was the reply "Well If you care so much
for the ring as that" said Mr. Beecher,
"please keep the ring and wear it for my
sake" Last spring while Miss Terry was
in Boston she hunted up this little shop
and passed some time in looking at the
gems and talking with Mr.. Remick about
them. At length he asked her what had
become of the ring that Mr.. Beecher gave
her. 81 wore it for years." she answered.
"After his death became more attached
to it than ever. But on the day that Queen
Victoria knighted Henry Irving took the
ring from my finger and gave it to him in
honor of the occasion. Sir Henry now
wears Mr.. Beecher's ring and will wear it
as long he lives. boston Letter.
