PHELAN AS A HEALER.
He Comes, Messiah, to the Thirty
First to Heal Democratic
niSSensionS

A crush of fully 100 voters partly crowd
ed Teutonia Hall last evening to see
James D. Phelan in his great act of
healing the dissensions in the Demo-
cratic ranks of the Thirty-f1rst District"
If applause be anything to judge from,
Mr. Phelan will go down in political his
tory as one of the most successful OF
the many healers that his party has from
time to time given to the world
The meeting was opened by Timothy
E. Tracey, in his capacity of chairman,
who struck the key note of the evening
by abiding to the dissensions that have
riven the party of the Thirty-first Dis
trict He introduced as the first speaker
of the evening Franklin K. Lane, nominee
for City and County Attorney Mr.. Lane
accused the Republican nominees OF pay
ing for their nominations on a graduated
scale, and held up the Democratic virtue
for shining comparison.
But said Mr.. Lane, ''the bosses who
got this money were not always Repub-
leans; they learned their first lesson in
the Democratic party"
This ingenious admission of Mr. Lane
rather paralyzed the sublime healer when
he arose with balm and things to apply
to that portion of Democracy's bleeding
anatomy that lies in the Thirty-first but
he survived the shock and pointed out
to his hearers that in this election their
district was thrice honored in that the
two offices having the largest patronage
had been given to candidates from the
Thirty-firSt, and that the standard bearer
James Gee Mcguire, had attained man
hood and got his first job among the men
to whom he spoke.
Turning the tide Of his eloquence from
general to personal propositions Mr.. Phe-
ian confessed a recognizable similarity to
a pair of lovers who never tired of talking
of themselves, and with becoming mod
esty pointed out how he had vetoed the
gas rates and the water rates and paved
the streets and saved the Market Street
Railway Company the trouble and ex-
incidentally and apparently from the
same personal motive Mr.. Phelan took
occasion to roast the morning Republic
can papers for not conducting the Demo
cratic campaign. He bitterly arraigned
them for not publishing in full Mcguire
pIatitudes and Democratic speeches, and
he served kindly warning to all sub
they were paying for through this unkind
meaeerness of Democratic space
Another application of arnica to bruised
Democracy and Mr.. Phelan gave Wav to
Richard Doolan, the Thirty-frst District
nominee for Superintendent of Streets.
and the plum that Mayor Phean earlier
in the evening held up to the view of his
audience as "one OF the biggest patronage
offices on the ticket
Mr.. Dooian was followed by Rhodes
BORDEN. candidate for Superior Judge, and
he nv Washington Dodge. who was con-
fident, and said so, that he had, in John
Siebe, the easiest fight on the ticket.
T. r. Bonnet, candidate for Sheriff, fol-
lowed the aspirant to an Assessors hon
the evenings meeting to an end and sent
what was left Of the audience home, well
healed as per intention.

KILLED N A RAGE battle
White Men and Negroes Shoot Each
Other in a Fight at Harpers-
vile, Miss.
A SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS EXISTS:
Posse Tries to Arrest a Desperate
and Meets Resistance-Men Hastily
Arm Themselves and Go to the
Scene of Ri0t-WhOle Country Ex-
cited and More Trouble Expected.

New Orleans, Oct. 24.-The Plea
yune's Vicksburg special says: Tele-
grams report most serious state of
affairs at Harpersville, IL miles north
of Forest, Miss, on the line of the Ala
bama & Vicksburg railroad, in Scott
county. 1t is stated that bad blood
has existed in Harpersville between
the whites and blacks. Saturday even
ing negro man beat most unmerc1"
fully an old white man. At night
deputy sheriff and two others went to
the negro's house with a warrant to
arrest him. When the officers neared
the mans house they found it sur
rounded with crowd of some 50 negro
men, all armed, and were fred 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
Harpersville 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.
Whole Country Aroused.
The whole country is terribly
aroused and the sheritf'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 a 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 nc
groes have been killed to satisfy the
outraged feelings OF the whites in that
section.
Fight Is Not Ended.
New Orleans, Oct. 25.-The Plea
yune's Forest, Miss. special says:
Eleven dead negroes, one dead white
man and one negro and three white
men seriously wounded is the result at
this writing of the bloody war being
waged between the white and black
races in the Harpersville neighbour
hood of (this) Scott county. Several
of the rioters have been captured and
lodged in Jail at Forest, but the others
escaped into the swamps. Large
crowds of white men are in close pur.
suit, however, and more names are
hourly expected to be added to the
death list.
Fourteen Have Been Killed,
Meridian, Miss, Oct. 26.-Further in.
formation reaching here from Forest
Miss, says that IA is the number of ne.
groes killed in the Harpersville race
riot up to this time. The bodies of three
more victims were found in the woods
Tuesday, which increased the number
to IA. The negroes who fed to the
swamps have all made good their es-
cape and the race conflict is now at ar
end.
