DENOUNCED HAzLEToN KILLING
Industrial Council Demands That the
Consultation BE Enforced and
Federal Judges Hanged.

The Industrial Council yesterday took up
the newspaper reports of the Hazleton, Pa.
riot. in. which the deputy sheriffs killed
several Hungarian strikers. and adopted
strong resolutions denouncing the killing.
The delegates spoke at length on the mat
ter and great deal of feeling was ex-
hibited. The council sent $50 to the strik-
ers, largely the proceeds from the sale of
the Labor day buttons. The following are
the resolutions adopted: t,
+ Whereas, The constitutions of the United
States and every state grant their citizens
the right to use the public highways. for
travelling, and the right of peaceful, as
semblage, and. ...
Whereas, The corporation courts have
violated the spirit and letter of the con-
stitution in debarring our fellow citizens
these rights. and the hireifng officers of
these corrupt. venal and treasonable courts
have murdered in cold blood many of our
fellow citizens: therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we. an assembly of citi-
Gems and members of the Industrial Council
of Kansas City, Mo-, unanimously demand
that the constitution be enforced and these
federal judges be tried, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged for 'copspiring

overthrow our government. Further be it
Resolved, That we demand that the of
ficer who gave the order to shoot and the
deputies who, shot be tried, convicted of
murder and hanged. so that in future

dare stop citizens in their rights

MACON NEGRO STRUNG UP LAST
EVENING FOR ASSAULT.
HE WAS A MURDERER, ALSO.
KILLED ANOTHER NEGRO IN AQUAR-
REL YESTERDAY MORNING.
When Arrested for. Tint Crime He
Confessed to Having Assaulted II
Young White Woman ana
Was Promptly Swung ,e
From Limb.

Macon, Ca, Sept. PA murder was COM
mitted in this city this morning. and this
afternoon the slayer was lynched, not for
murder, however but for the crime of as
sault.
This morning about o'clock Charley
Gibson and Jim Smith, both colored, en-
gagged in a quarrel, the latter having .ac-
cused the former of stealing 80 cents. Smith
was not inclined TO fight. and turned to go
away, whereupon Gibson drew a pistol and
SHOT him in the. back of the head, killing
him instantly. Gibson then fed.
The sheriff and posse were soon in pur-
suit and kept up the chase until p. M,
occasionally exchanging shots with the flu
gitive. At 5p. m. the murderer was run to
cover and surrounded by the deputies. The
negro, being. wen armed, gave shot for
shot until brought down by three bullets
from Winchester rifles. The negro had
been suspected of having assaulted Miss
Chapman few nights ago, and this sus-
picion was confirmed by his confession. A
large crowd soon gathered at the scene of
the shooting, but there were no threats
of violence or intimidation. The sheriff and
deputies returned to the city to get ve-
hicle to convey the wounded man to the
city. and while they were absent the negro
confessed to having assaulted Miss Chap
man and to having committed thefts and
burglary. The crowd secured a rope and
swung the negro from limb.
Gibson was an ex-convict, having served
several years in the chain gang. In his
house were found innumerable articles
stolen from residences in this CITY, many
of which have been identified by owners.
In the room were clothes and shoes stolen
from the house where he assaulted Miss
Chapman.

:. LEAD AND ZINC OUTPUT.
A Considerable increase Last Week
Over the Week BefOre-BiE
Advance I'm Lead,

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 12.-(SpecialJ The
weeks output of the lead and zinc mines
was considerably better than that of the
preceding week. The sales of zinc ore were
fifteen carloads more and the sales of lead
ore three carloads more than the preced-
ing week, and nearly all of the surplus ore
has been disposed of.
The feature of the week in mining circles
was the rapid rise in the price of lead ore
and the great demand for 1t. Lead started
in at $24.75 per LOCO pounds delivered, and
on Friday had. advanced to $3.50 per 1000.
On Saturday the. price advanced to $3.50.
and several lots sold for better prices. One
lot in Shelbina sold at $29 per 1000. and
the st. Louis. Lead Company sold its lead
ore at $50. From all Indications lead ore
will reach $50 this week and will probably
reach S35 before the end of the month.
Tie top price paid for zinc ore was $22.50
per ton for eight carloads of Joplin ore, and
all of the Springfield ore. while the. top
price in other parts of the district was from
81 to so cents per ton less. The prices paid
generally were about the same as the pre-
ceding week.
The corresponding week last year lead
ore sold at s1i.50 per 1000 pounds, and zinc
ore at $40 per ton. ... ..,...
The weeks sales of ore were an increase
of twenty carloads of zinc ore over those of
the corresponding week of last year. The
sales of lead ore were about the same.
Following are the weeks sales OF zinc
and lead ores in the district and the years s

COLORED PEOPLE IN Line.
THEY WILL BE REPRESENTED IN
THE PARADE OF NATIONS.
Chinese Mny Have n Monster Dragon
in the Parade-Italy Will Have

other Features.

The last race to be added to the list of
nations which will be represented in the
Parade of Nations during Carnival week
Is the colored race. A meeting of prominent
colored men will be held this afternoon at
3 o'clock in room 21s. New York Life
building, when steps will be taken to Sc
cure creditable representation of the col
ored race in the parade. There is no reason
why an effective and appropriate series of
floats should not be displayed by the col
ored people of this city. They have taken
up with the idea and when the parade
takes place it will be found that the col
ored citizens of Kansas City are not be-
hind in their loyalty to their city or to
their race.
A meeting of Chinese citizens was held
yesterday morning in room 2lS. New York
Life building. China will in all probability
be represented in the parade, though this
has not been definitely decided. If China

which have attracted SO much attention in

A picnic was held at Walruffs grove yes
terday for the purpose of raising funds to
help defray the expenses of Germany's

with four floats, of which two have al
ready been decided upon. One will be the
King OF the Karnival. and the other

Italy will be represented in the great pa
rade of nations during Carnival week by
floats representing the three caravels Of
Columbus the Pinta, the Nina and the
Santa Maria. The Italio-Americano So
ciety recently appointed a committee to
confer with a committee from the Karnival
Krewe. These two committees met yester-
day afternoon and agreed upon all financial
details. Work will begin at once on the
preparation of the floats. and the Italian
r.
native country is creditably represented in
the great parade.
The Irish will not participate in the pa
rade of nations in the carnival festivities
this year. This was decided upon at q meet
ing of the Irish societies at 1892 Main
street yesterday afternoon. The meeting
lasted several hours and the question was
thoroughly discussed. 1t was the general
understanding of those present at the meet
ing that they Were to parade as one of the
nations under the British rule. Such a
proposition met with the bitterest oppo-
sition. ~ 9"
"Oi wull niyer be seen marchin' under

men, hotly. sol wull do all OF can to help

but niver wull Oi be seen marchin' along

ation. and the speaker was heartily ap-
plauded. But they were all anxious to see
the parade success and while declining
formal reason the lack of time to prepare
suitable display. they offered to assist as
individuals in aiding the Karnival Krewe
