SAM WILLIAMS DEAD
Falls a Distance Of Twelve Feet,
Ahghting on His Head

II has been the custom Of ho-bos
and hangers.on around the ice fac.
tory at this place, to make sneak
IN the big building at night aud
make their beds In anyspf the out
of-waY places offered them to hide
away for the night.
The Ice company has long been
bothered with this class of loungers
and have made many effCrts to keep
them out OF the building, but up to
last night of no avail
1t seems that Sam Williams, a ne
gro hanger.on about the place and
known as an extra hand, got full of
red eye, and making a sneak into
the building when the dor was
open to the ice boxes, got in and
climbing on top made bed out of
the empty ice sacks found about
the place, and pulling off coat aud
pants went to sleep, unbeknowing
to any of the employees about the
place.
This morning when the doors of
the factory we're opened, Williams
was found dead on the floor, near
the ice boxes, with the side of his
head smashed in.
The blood was running from his
mouth and ears, and showed from
the way it run, that the man never
moved after he fell to the floor be-
low.
Justice Hooks held an inquest and
determined that the negro came to
his death by falling from the box
above, aud that the Ice company is,
in no way responsible for his death.

At meeting of citizens in the
two sewer districts Friday, matter
of connecting on to the West Side
outlet was favorably discussed. Mr..
J. w. HaFriss, one Of the commits
sioners in sewer district No. l, was
present, and explained that sewer
district No. had paid its full pro
rata part of the cost OF sewer
main, to district No. /, from where
it Joined on up near Mr.. Chattield's
residence, to the dumping ground
below the Gate City mill. There
has been complaint that this had
not been done. We make this
statement to satisfy all parties in
district No. /, and we hope there
will be no further opposition to
joining on and extending the main,
with our West Side friends. This
is absolutely necessary, and the
sooner it is done the better. Let
all property owners in District No.
sign the agreement for the mon
ey TO be used tor this purpose, and
all will be calm, lovely and serene.

This has been one of the mildest
winters thus far experienced here
for several years. Those poor peo-
ple-and rich ones too, will certain
ly appreciate the goodness of the
controller of the weather, for
many has been the dollar saved in
the wood and coal bills by the
spring like weather we are treated
to. Aside from this, cattle haYe not
suffered and the grass is now
sprouting out beautifully for the
cattle to crop. We like the spring
like weather as we are one of the
shorn lambs when it comes to pay
ing coal bills, with any degree of
regularity that real genuine wealth
er calls for.

We have been asked time and
again today, for our source of in-
formation as to getting the general
offices of the Cotton Belt rail road
located here. AS we said in our
article on the subject, we do not
propose to give away our source OF
information, but we believe that if
some gentleman were to go to
New York and search out either
George or Edwin Gould, and offer
the Cotton Belt adequate office
room here as gift, the company
would consider the proposition in a
light that would rebound to our
benefit. The laws of Texas, are
such that these offices can be NOV
ed back from Tyler easily, and if we
do not make an effort in this dir
ection we are simply standing in
our own light. If our people or
ganize a commercial league tonight,
which they have called d
meeting to do, one of their very
first acts should be to open cor
respondence on this subject with
the general headquarters in New
York, and if need be send a reput-
able delegate there to close ant
clinch the trade. Let us work to
this end, and we believe all will be
well.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

At Pittsburg yesterday morning the
Knights Templar gave an exhibition
drill on the race track in Schenley
Park, in which members from the fol-
lowing communicates took part De-
troit No. /, St. Bernard of Chicago,
Louisville No. l, Massllon No. l, &C.
lumbia No. 9 of Washington, and De
Molay No. u of Louisville. The gen.
era public was invited to see this drill
and the sixty thousand seats surround
ing the race track were well filled.
The Grand Eucampment of the Ten
plars resumed its meeting in Carnegie
Hall. Past Grapd Master James H.
Hopkins, Of Washington, proposed two
amendments to the constitution. O6e
was an amendment to section 8 of arti-
Gle l, so as to make it read: "a State
conclsve shall be held triennialIy in
Washington on the second Tuesday Of
October, unless the Grand Encamp-
ment snail, at stated conclave, desig-
nate some other time and place" The
other amendment proposed TO change
section l OF article l by placing the
grand prelate next in line after the
grand junior warden.
An amendment was also offered By
the Past Grand Master of Nebraska,
VIM. R Bowen, TO the code of statutes,
as follows:
Membership in commandery is
dependent upon and coexistent with
membership in lodge of Free Masons.
Any companion of the Red Cross or
Knight Templar who remains for six
months unafiiliated with a lodge OF
Free Masons is post facto suspended in
Knight Templary, such suspension to
be terminated by afiiliaiion with
lodge"
TO day the designation of the place
for the next encampment will be decid-
ed upon.
The election of the next grand junior
warden will also be decided, and for
this position Lee S. Smith, one of the
most prominent men of the fraternity
in Pittsburg, is the only one mentioned
so far. This position is the stepping-
stone to the highest honor in the gift Of
the organization, that of grand master

this morning from the effects of vitriol
poisoning. Linley was found by a
policeman lying on street corner in
terrible agony. After being removed
to the hospital he regained conscious

woman who invited him to take walk.
He complied, and as they strolled
along the woman took from her pocket
a bottle which he supposed contained
whisky. She invited him to take a
drink and he did. In moment he was
seized with severe pains and he fell to
the sidewalk. The woman ran away.
The police are inclined to discredit the
story. They believe he committed sui

EIGHT WITH MINERS,

Eight men were killed and at least
IS were wounded in conflict at Vir-
den, ILL.,, yesterday, caused by the Chi
caeo. Virden Coal Company bringing q
trainload of negroes from the South to
take the places of white miners, who
were on strike for higher wages. Dis
patches from Virden state that it was
difficult to say who began the firing
Armed miners were drawn up along
the Chicago and Alton Railroad when
the train arrived. They engaged in q
battle with the negroes who were Oh
the train, and hot firing continued for
several minutes. Six of the killed
were strikers, one was railroad de-
tective who was guarding a switch,
and one was deputy sheriff, who
was on the train. None of the negroes
were killed and but one was wounded.
Eight deputies, who were on the train,
were wounded. Some hours later, in
firing on q crowd of miners, mine
guard, employed by the company, was
killed, making the ninth victim.
Governor Tanner had previously re-
fused to send troops to Virden, saying
he did not want to help the mineowners
to operate the mines with imported la.
Dor. After hearing of the fight he or
dered large bodies of troops to the
scene. He places the responsibility on
the operators, whom he wants indicted
for murder. Later he left Springfield
for the scene, and says he will disarm
those employed by the mine operators.
Manager Lukens, of the Chicago-Vir-
den Coal Company, said last night:
The blood of every man shot in Vir-
den is on the Governors head. He is
absolutely outside of the law
and has no justification what
ever in refusing to send troops.
If this train had come in before the
views OF the governor were known
there would have been no bloodshed,
as the strikers knew they were disobey-
ing the law and had shown an entirely
different spirit from what they did at.
terward. Most of them were SO ig-
norant as to believe that they had
right to do as the governor said they
had.
Virden is town of about 1000 popu-
Iation IN Macoupin county, ILL.,, in the
central western part of the State. 21
miles southwest of Springfield, the
capital.
