New Orleans. Oct. 24.-The Plea
yune's Vicksburg special says: Tele-
grams report a most serious state of
affairs at Hermanville, IL miles north
OF Forest, Miss, on the line of the Ala
bama1 q Vicksburg railroad, in Scott
county. 1t is stated that bad blood
has existed in Hermanville between
the whites and blacks. Saturday even
ing a negro man beat most unmerci-
fully an old white man. At night a
deputy shorthand two others went to
the Negroes house with warrant to
arrest him. When the officers neared
the mans house they found it sur
rounded with crowd of some so negro
men, all armed, and were fired on. Mr..
Potter. a well-known man, was killed
and the other two thought to be NOR
tally wounded. AS soon as the news
reached the center Of the town of
Hermanville the men hastily armed
themselves and went to the scene of
the riot. Then the fight opened in
reality and lasted the greater part OF
the night. At daylight Sunday it was
found that nine negroes had been
killed and four captured who are
slightly wounded. Some seem to think
the trouble is not over.
The whole country is terribly
aroused and the sheriff's posse has
been reinforced with men from all the
neighboring towns. Gov. McLaurin
has gone to the scene, which is about
ten miles north of Forest, the nearest
railroad point. The governor and
Adjt. Gen. Henry are naturally coun-
selling moderation, but in the excited
state OF the public mind general fear
is expressed that the posse will not re-
gard the suggestion favorably. Their
presence, however, will undoubtedly
have good effect in restraining the
number of fatalities after enough ne.
groes have been killed to satisfy the
outraged feelings of the whit es in that
section.

The London Academy has issued
warning to literary and art collectors
to be careful about buying letters or
manuscripts alleged to have been writ
ten by Robert Burns, because a clever
i1nitator has made ''some very su-
perior imi tations of Burns" and has
succeeded in selling many of them as
originals. What difference does that
make? 1t is certain that the great
majority of all such articles are imi-
tations, but if their present owners
think that the limitations are genuine
no one will have the right to COM
plain.
