Miners and Negro Laborers
Battle in Indiana.
A THOUSAND SHOTS.
Many Men Killed and Wounded.
the Town in Turmoil and
Panic-Troops Hurried
to the Scene.

Virdin, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-The ar
rival of train load of imported
Negro laborers from the South at
1890 this afternoon, was the
signal for desperate battle.
Nearly thousand shots were ex-
changed between the striking
miners on the one side and Sher-
if Davenport and deputies on the
other.
In the stampede it is difficult
to tell the number of the dead.
but it is conservatively estimated
at tifty-fve miners and six officers
killed and q dozen fatally
wounded.
Governor Tanner orders two
regiments hurried here and they
will arrive tonight.
The fighting is yet going on in
that section and the town is terror
stricken. Men are securing what.
ever arms they can get hold of,
expecting to use them for their
own protection if the trouble
spreads. The women and children
are running to their homes and
barlicading the doors.
Some of the wives of the deat
miners, however, decline to 90 tc
their homes and are almost mad
with grief and anger.
1t is said that the miners were
fired upon from the stockades
after the train had gone through.
Mayor Nall has sent messen.
gers to Girard for doctors and
nurses.
Governor Tanner wires forbid.
ding the unloading of the imported
labor. He says the mine owners
are responsible for the carnage
and shall be indicted for murder.
Special trains are now hurry

If Chairman Tolbert of the
Republican State committee is
man of intelligence he must know
that he is holding out to the ne
grocs of South Carolina most
delusive hope. The Republican
party of the north has finally and
forever abandoned the policy of
interfering with the suffrage in
the southern States; it has finally
and forever abandoned the negro
to the control of the white men
of the south. Public opinion in
the north sustains all legal and
constitutional methods by which
the intelligence and the property
of the south maintain ascendancy.
ard it is heartily sick of the COM
plants that come from this sec
ton. That is the plain and proven
truth. Any negro party IN this
State exists merely to provide
government places for its man
ayers and a supply of delegates
to be suitably bribed at national
Republican conventions. - The

generally familiar with the SEN

trial of the Riser brothers at
Pomaria last spring, on the charge
of Systematically robbing some
freight cars.
Last week their attorney with
drew their appeal to the State

two unfortunate young men were
brought to Columbia to live a
felon's life for the next five years,
unless executive clemency be
sooner enlisted in their behalf.
The young men were neatly
dressed, and had not the hardened
look, nor Indifferent air of the
convict, and the information that
they were sentenced men brought
with the announcement decided

FIGHTING AMONG THEM-
SELVES.
One Caval. yman Killed, :: Fatally
and 2 Seriously Wounded.

Huntcrsville, Ala, Oct. 1.-THE
Tenth cavalry (colorcd) arrived
from Montauk tkls morning and
had not been off the train an hu::y
before some of its members he.
came involved in a difficulty with
the provost guard. One man was
killed and five wounded, two
fatally.
Soon after the men left the
train one of the cavalrymen went
to house frequented by white
men and attempted to clean out
the place. He was arrested by a
corporals detail of four men of
the provost guard. The arrest
was quickly noised about and the
negro cavalrymen attempted to
rescue the prisoner. The first
man who advanced toward tie
guard was halted and as he
turned to run was fired upon.
Firing then became almost general
and continued several minutes.
Corp'l Mclaughlin, Co. l.. Sixth
infantry, commanding the detail,
was killed at the first fire. Private
f. Wiles, Co. NJ, Sixth infantry,
was shot in the knee and Private
Larkin, Go. l.. Sixteenth infantry,
received ball in the leg. Wiles'
leg was anputated later at the
hospital. Private James Gleeton,
troop M, Tenth cavalry, received
a bullet in the spine and will die.
Two other Tenth cavalrymeu
whose names arc not known, were
wounded, one of them fatally. ~.
The affair would have heen at-
tended by more serious conse-
quences had not mounted platoon
from the Tenth cavalry scattered
the beligerent negroes with drawn
sabres.
The white soldiers here enter
tained a very bitter feeling against
the negro troopers and it is feared
trouble will occur whenever the
two races meet.
The Tenth was given a camp
situated more than q mile from
any other regiment.
