ROCKVILLE, Md, July 6.-The OK
citement caused by the lynching of the
negro Sydney Randolph Fridny, which
had Utmost entirely died ort,wa stirred
to high pitch when it became rumored
that the colored people i'll the vicinity
of Gaithersville had organizee party
and were coming to Rockville to lynch
r. L.. Buxton, the father Of the Buxton
family that was assaulted and of which
crime Randolph was accused and for
which he was lynched.
AS soon as the authorities here We're
appraised of this rumor steps were at
once taken to prevent recurrence of
the events of Friday night. The dep
nty sheriff quietly Informed number
of the citizens that their services might
be needed, and then told Buxton of his
danger, advising Inn to leave on the
next train for Washington. Buxton
seemed quite nervous and excited, but
protested against going to Washington.
Arrivals from Gaithersburg stated
that tho rumor of the intended out
break among the negroes had reached
them and that n party of 200 men had
been armed and put on their guard
They informed Buxton that if he would
accompany them back to Gaithersburg
they would guarantee to protect him
Buxton went to Gaithersburg where he
spent the night with friends guarded by
several ablebodied men.

startling incident occurred at the Fourth
of July celebration mt Long Point,

Lake of the Woods. A large excursion
steamer left Rat Portage on Friday
night and upon arriving at the mouth
of Rainy river the Canadian captain
went ashore aud got from the American
customs officer their clearance to touch
Mt Long Point, about 20 miles west of
the mouth. The refreshment buffet of
the steamer was not closed, as it should
have been upon arriving at the Amer
can shore. Among those present was IL
revenue officer from War Road, an
American station few miles away,
who found the door of the buffet open
and Immediately seized the craft as II
smuggler, putting every British sailor
and passenger under arrest. The of
f1cial called to his aid12 fishermen, who
boarded the boat and remained there
all night.
Captain McRitchie was ordered to
sail for the mouth of Rainy river, but
the captain, instead of going to the
mouth, made straight for the British
water. Once there the revenue collector
was politely told that he must disem-
bark ut once and take his men aboard
the small tug Ethel, which Captain Nc
Richie had towed behind him from
Long Point for the purpose. AS the
Canadians outnumberod the Americans
ten to one, Mr.. Carpenter eventually
ordered all his men to get aboard the
Ethel which then sailed for Rainy
river, leaving the steamer Monarch to
pursue her way to Rat Portage.
The officers made the mistake of serv-
ing e. w. Bridges, II part owner of the
steamer, with the papers instead of the
captain, who alone is responsible for tho
hOu NXyl1i matter
will have to be settled between Wash.
ington and Ottawa.
