ocrats polled a good vote, which he es-
timated would be between $4,000 and
$4,000. it would have the effect Of break

One Black Commits q Crime and the
Whites Grow Frantic.
Florence, Ala. July 22.-An uprising
against the negro workmen on the gov
eminent works at Riverton, Ala, caused
a small riot at that place. and those ne
groes who can get away are leaving. A
negro attempted to assault Mrs. 8. l..
Vaughn. The neighborhood was aroused
and chase was given to the negro, who
took to the woods. The insolence of 9TH
er negroes, several hundred in number,
lncensed the white workmen, and they
determined to run the blacks out Of
town.
There were several fights between the
negroes and whites, and one white man
was seriously cut. The excitement was
intense. and many negroes might have
been killed had not counsel of cooler
heads prevailed. The negro who caused
the riot was captured. He has been iden-
tilted by Mrs. Vaughn and proves to be
the same negro who cut a white man.
There will be lynching.
Riverton people are sending to neigh.
boring towns for men, guns and ammu-
milton. The most serious trouble il
feared. Many negroes are leaving the
town. Others are sullen and defiant.
As the morning train passed Riverton
junction 100 panic-stricken negroes
boarded 1t without money to pay fare
They were all taken to the next sta
ton.
r Later.-Jim Speaks, the negro who
caused the trouble. is probably swing
ing from convenient tree between Riv-
erton and Cherokee. Speaks was captured
near Riverton yesterday morning and
at o'clock last night officers started
for Tuscumbia with him. A hundred
armed men started after the officers
swearing they would hang the negro
before he could be taken five miles.
They undoubtedly carried out their
threats.
