Killing the Blacks.

New Orleans, Oct 2G.-The Forest
Miss, special says
Eleven dead negroes and 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 neighborhood of this, Scott
county. Several of the rioters have been
captured and lodged in Jail at Forest to-
day, but the Others escaped into the
swamps Large crowds of white men are
in close pursuit, however, and more names
are hourly expected to be added to the
dead list
1t is impossible to get a complete list
of the killed, for the reason that some of
the negroes were shot in the swamps
and hurriedly buried by the whites. Gov
ernor McI.aurin went to Harpersville and
appealed to the whites not to modest the
prisoners in the custody of the sheriff He
finally persuaded the crowd to permit the
sheriff to take the prisoners to Jail. Sher-
if Stevenson has placed additional guards
at the Forest jail to prevent the lynch
ing of the rioters now in custody. The
negroes who are under arrest have made
full confession

sup. en- route from Spokane to Chicago,
committed suicide on the Northern Pa
cifc train Sunday evening after leaving

bold HOIdups.

Spokane, Oct. 26.-Another hold up
was successfully planned and executed at
? o'clock yesterday morning. The rob
berry occurred within five blocks of the
Central police station and i'll a district
where there are a number of all night
establishments, yet the robbers easily
got away.
The Eldoado saloon, located at the
corner of Bernard and Main streets, was
the scene of the hold up. The robbers
secured $47 80 from the cash drawer be-
sides So 80 from the person of Frank
ODell, the bartender. OF the entire
amount 80 cents was returned to the bar
tender in order that he might buy his
breakfast. This return showed generosity
on the part of the robbers, which was
duly appreciated by their victim.
The o. X. feed store, 226 Division
street, was entered some time the same
night, and its proximity to the Eldorado
saloon seems to indicate that the work
was done by the same parties who show
ed familiarity with the premises in both
cases. At the feed store nothing was Sc
cured, as no cash is left in the store over
night The lock on the front door had
sheen picked and the door was on the
latch when r. Myers, one OF the proprie-
tors. came down that morning.

THE RIGHTS OF A PEERLESS.
She Wears Beautiful Coronet, bus
Only at COronations.

There are ten women in Great Britain
who are peeresses in their own right, not
by marriage. While they are deprived OF
the rights held by men who are peers
notably that of a seat in the house Of
lords, they share others, such as the rights
to demand audience with the sovereign
to represent views on public welfare, to.
be tried by ones peers if convicted OF
felony. y peeress in her own right retains
her title after marriage, no matter how
humble her husband may be, but peer
ess by marriage if she becomes IA widow
loses her title on remarTying below her
title. Sometimes the husband of a peeres,-
takes his wife's name, for instance, Mar
garet of Newburgh, the celebrated count
ess of Warwick, married John Marshall.

SPAIN IS NOW DESPERATE.
INSISTS ON HELP WITH DEBT
IL Is Suggested That the Peace Ne
Eotintiohs May Yet Fail, but
Spain VIII Have to Yield in Her
Present Helpless and MoneyIess.
Condition.

Paris, Oct. 25-The consideration bv the
peace commissioners of Puerto Rico and
the Ladrone islands has now been merged
with the Cuban question, and all the
points involved are being carried forward
by simultaneous conclusion When this
has been arrived at, the Philippine oues-
ton will be taken up. OF course there is
possibility of a disagreement, and the
Spanards, if the American peace COM
missioners decide not to assume any por-
ton of the Cuban indebtedness, may an
nounce their unwillingness to proceed any
further with negotiations based upon the
protocol. Should the Spanish decide to-
do this, it will be because they will wish
to excite the pity of their creditors and Of
other nations. The cortes may be then
asked to indorse their action In fact
the Spaniards may even prefer the re-
sumption of hostilities to acquiescence in
the American refusal to share their finan-
cial burden. The Americans. however.
have intimated to the Spaniards the posi-
bility that Spain may al some future peri
cd be able to deal with an Independent
government regarding the assumption OF
the provincial and municipal portions Of
the Cuban debt which is estimated To-
have been $l5O,OOOO 900 before the last rebel
lion in Cuba broke out, and $5OOOOO 200
contracted since 1895.
Finally, it is said that there are persons
high in the Spanish councils who claim
that Spain would rather submit dumbly
and helplessly to defamation or dismem-
berment than confront this continued fin
ancial burden. One course would leave
other is regarded as doubtful. if not i'm
possible of adoption, within the. boun-
DIARIES of national solvency.
Spain, however will not break off the
present negotiations before having pro-
posed that the United States share hale
the insular debt
Such a proposition would not be accent
ed by the United States either directly or
in behalf of Cuba.
The session of the joint commission end
ed at 1850 p. m. yesterday.
The adjournment of the Joint commits
sion was until Wednesday next. Guam in
the Ladrone group has been chosen by the
Americans under the terms of the proto-
col. The chief matter considered at to-
days session was the American reply to-
Spain's revised and renewed propositions
of the last meetings, and the indications
are that the Cuban question will be dis
posed Of this week. But no details have
been given out by either side regarding
SPANS presentment of Friday last or the.
American answer of the same date.

Lost His Nerve.

In n little village near the Cumber-
land river, in the Pennyrile, recently, a
blushing bride, nervous best man and
minister were the characters in a
laughable comedy, reports the Louis
willie Post. 1t was att a church wedding,
in which two of the society people of
the town were the central figures, and a
nervous young farmer the best man.
The chief male attendant was so over
come with excitement duringhis march
up the aisle he was temporarily dazed.
AT the altar, after the clergyman had
said: "Do you take" ETC., and thetime
had arrived for the minister to place the
ring on the BRIDES finger the best man
became confused and handed the
preacher q bone collar button instead
of the gold circlet. The good man tried
to put the collar button on the girls
finger, couldn't, halted, and finally s1id:
"Jim, gimme the ring" There were
nfomentary bushes, litter among the
younger element in the pews, and wild
look of despair; then the best man To-
Gated the ring, and the ceremony was
concluded.

Bro. Grain OF the Maumee New Era
uncorked his phial of vitriol last week
In his editorial column in his efforts to
say something red hot about the JOUR-
NAL man. 1t seemed that we happened
to disagree with him in his belief that
capital punishment should be abolished
and solitary confinement adopted in its
stead. Bro, Grain seems to think that
we referred to him as not being sane
because he had expressed himself as he
did, and we hasten to say that we had
no such thoughts of him. We are too
liberal minded to think all people are
wrong, either mentally or morally, sim
ply because they do not think as we do.
Bro. Grains second sorrow is because
the JOURNAL copied an item from his
paper without crediting, and the same
item was copied in Toledo papers and
credited to the JOURNAL. We plead
guilty to that, but it was not inten-
tional. We agreed with his views as
expressed in the item, and was intend
ing to comment upon it. and give him
proper credit, but was called out OF
town and the JOURNAL went to press
while we were absent, hence the great
crime. II brother Grain never steals
any more editorials than the JOURNAL
does he will have very clear record
The joke is on the Era man, however,
as 1t seems to have been necessary to
have his Item published ia the JOUR
NAL in order TO have it noticed by
other papers.

thing for Republicans to be taunted
with the question of when that prom
ised prosperity would be coming along,
but now that factories in all parts of
the country are in operation, that money
Is so plentiful that interest rates are
dowu to the lowest point known in
many years, with railroad statistics
showing more business than for many
years past; farm prices going up and
export trade enormous; Increased de-
mand abroad for corn; banking and
manufacturing failures notably fewer,
there are very seldom any inquiries
being made regarding prosperity, as
all branches of business are feeling the
benefits of it's arrival.

A letter has been addressed by First
Assistant postmaster General Heath to
Representative Loud author of the
Loud bill restricting the amonnt of
sec0nd-class matter to be admitted to
the mails. Mr.. Heath says that his
own experience as publisher leads
him to believe that the bill will work
less hardship upon legitimate publish
ing firms if Mr.. Loud will modify it by
simply reducing the number of sample
copies of papers TO be admitted instead
of cutting them off altogether. The
present law allows SO per cent of a
papers circulation to be mailed as sam
pile copies and to cut off this privilege
altogether, Mr.. Heath says, would
work particular hardship upon the
small country publication.
