wreck the Chicago & Alton passenger

which left the Union depot last night,
was made by unknown parties who
placed ties on the track between Sag

crime az Rome. \. T., is Of a more
stnpendous nature. -Four boys, the
leader being eighteen years old and the

explanation Of the causes leading them
to the crime, there was found in the
pocket Of one of the boys a biography
of jesse James, and at the headquarters
Of the leader was found a heap of kin

General Howard denounced Tillmanism

that the Democratic party should be broken
up again this way. There always were a
few sneaks and copperheads, and there al
ways Will be; even in Michigan you cannot
help it but vote them down. Great ap-
plause.)
In the course of General Sickles's speech
the General remarked: II wish a pin could

IDENTIFY written by a rank PARTISAN:
There was a serious riot in Pierson
county to-day. The county candidates
spoke at Winstead. After conservative
speeches made by r. B. Boone, of Durham,
and Col. John S. Cunningham, of Pierson.
S. p. SatJerfield, Republican candidate for
the House, made an incendiary speech to
the negroes, and caused them to attack a
white man, and as he was defending himself
from their vile epithets they began to strike
him with sticks. A general riot ensued be-
tween several hundred whites and colored,
which composed the crowd. The entire diff
hculty was brought on by the infiamed
minds of the negroes,s resulting from the
speech of Satterfield. A number were bad
ly wounded and blood flowed freely. Sew
eral white men were struck by rocks
thrown by negroes and three seriously hurt.
Some one fired IL pistol, whereupon the
negroes fled. The whites were not expect
ing any difficulty, but were Informed this
evening that the arrangement was made
at Roxboro last night to bring about the
dlfflculty by the negroes. From what can
be learned a great many negroes were in
Jured. Colonel Cunningham made a, speech
to pacify the white men, appealing to them
to let their best judgment overcome their
anger. His advice was followed and the
whites quickly went to work securing the
names or the negroes who brought about
the trouble. Roxboro is wild tonight and
nothlng but abuse is heard for Satterield,
and further trouble is feared.p
