SOLDIERS IN A RIOT.
Two Negroes Killed and Several
Whites, Arc Wounded.

Great excitement prevails at Admission,
Ala, as Il result OF the armed conflict be-
tween white and black soldiers, resulting
in two negroes killed and several minor
casualties. The trouble was caused by n
street fight early in the afternoon. when
a coiOred soldier was dangerously beaten
by white soldiers on Tenth street. A
couple of hours later the negro soldiers in
camp began oscillations. Several white
soldiers reported that they had been shot
at.
just about dark the wholesale reprisals
began. when squads of the Third Ala
bama regiment (coloredD lay in ambush
and commenced shooting at individual
white soldiers passing by. A squad of the
provost guard was ordered out, but the
negroes opened fire OH the approach of the
guards and they We're forced to retire.
When re-enforcements arrived it was
found the negroes had disappeared.
When the news spread white soldiers
and citizens turned out in great numbers.
and begged for arms. Later the armorics
of the two local military companies were
broken into and every gun and cartridge
appropriated.
Gen. Colby, who commands the Second
brigade. ordered out two companies each
of the Third Tennessee and Third .Arkan-
sas. They secured the city and conduct
ed all soldiers not on duty back to their
camps. Several arrests of armed negroes
were made. and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the prisoners were saved
from being lynched by the angry mobs.

Col. G. Il. warine, Who Died of yello,
Fever, Was a Martyr to Duty.

Col. G. +. Warning, Who Died of Yellow
Fever, Was a Martyr to Duty.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of Col. George E. Warning, Jr.,
who fell q victim to yellow fever, con.
tracted while in the service of his cou
try in Cuba, were of a particularly sad
nature and have drawn forth express
sions of profound sorrow from all parts
Of the country. Col. Warning returned
from Cuba, where he went in the
early part of October as the head Of a
commission appointed for the purpose
of selecting sites in the island for
camps for the army of occupation and
also for making provisions for sanitary
improvements in the principal Cuban
cities. He laid the seeds of yellow
fever in his constitution while in Cuba,
and on his return to New York was
stricken down with the terrible disease
in n few days. His remains were ere
mated.
Col. Warning was we'll known through
out the country as an authority on tho
sanitation of cities. He was born in
Westchcster County, New York, sixty
five years ago. He studied engineering
in his early days and enlisted during
the civil war. He was four years in his
country's service and made n gallant
record as n cavalry leader. During tho
outbreak of yellow fever in Memphis
in 1878 he changed the sewerage sys-

Concerning Wool and woolen,.

~Concerning Wool and Woolens.
The truth is that foreign imports Of
WOODEN goods have not to any appreci-
able extent affected the industry this
year, and the home market has been
depressed almost exclusively by two
mistakes Of domestic origin. The first
was the crazy speculation in wool
which was based on the notion that,
with about two years. supply in sight,
wool could be probably raised last
February more than so per cent. above
prices obtained a year earlier. The
second was the advance of many WOOL
en- goods above prices which consumers
were prepared to pay, ON the theory
that people would not believe that wool
could decline, even after such an adj
vance and with a great stock on hand.
Most people did believe 1t would de-
cline, and held back orders for goods.
Both material and goods, having run
away from the demand for consump-
ton, met inactive markets and yield

inch iron hitching post in front of the
Philadelphia restaurant, corner of Elev-

The accident is one of the most peculiar
on record. George Resseguire, the driver,
had hitched the animal in front of the
restaurant where he had to deliver some
goods He tarried inside longer than was
necessary, perhaps, and the mare became
impatient, and stepping upon the side
walk received a sudden jolt in the flank
from the iron post, to which she was
hitched In an effort to extricate herself
from the awkward and painful position
the horse made a sudden lurch when the
post pierced the flesh several inches. By
ISLANDERS attempted to lift the animal off,
but the result was still more disastrous.
for in another moment the horse. weak
from loss of blood. sank with pain and
the iron pole pierced its body entirely
at least one foot, while the gutter ran
full of blood.
officer Flynn was summoned, and with
two shots put the horse out of misery.

SMOOTH WORK OF
A GLIB BOOK AGENT
EXCITES THE WRATH OF THE
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
Unauthorized Use of Teachers Names
to Force the Sale of
His Work.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 19-The Alameda
School Department has been used by an
enterprising book agent named Knowles to
force the work he handled into the homes
of the parents of nearly all the pupils
in the Alameda schools. Incidentally
under Misrepresentation as to what they
were signing, he has secured bushel
of negotiable notes from Alameda's house
wives which have been placed IN a local
bank for collection.
Knowles methods are not new, but he
has excited the wrath of the School Di-
rectors, Superintendent and principals by
the careless manner in which he has used
their names and the purpose to which he
has put testimonials which they innocent
ly gave him.
Knowles represented some kind of a
students reference work. He presented
1T to the members of the department. As
it was a good book, in their opinion, they
cheerfully, signed individual testimonials
list of the Alameda school children in
the higher grades. He visited their resi-
dences at times when he was reasonably
certain that only their mothers were at
home. To these he represented he had
been sent by the principal Of the school,
who had instructed him to notify them
that their boy or girl, as the case might
be, was deficient in some branch of study;
that the School Directors had ordered the
parent to provide. the tardy student with
a set of the reference works or they
would be compelled to expel him from
school.
Then some one of the collection of tes-
timonials was flashed in the face of the
astonished parent and represented to be a
written statement of the facts the glib
tongued book agent had set forth.
Desiring in every way to advance their
children in their schooling the mothers
purchased the books in nearly every
case. They signed a printed slip which
was represented to them as an order for
the book but which in reality proved to
be promiSSory note.
The department has denounced the
book agent as an impostor and on Friday
the principals of all the schools We're in
structed to tell the students to notify
practiced.
