MORE TROUBLE WITH NEGROES

MORE TROUBLE WITH NEGROES.
Members of the Third Alabama ne
gro regiment, with murder in their
hearts, caused great excitement in An
niston, Ala, last night. Shortly after
dark Private Gildhart, of Company B,
Second Arkansas, while going toward
his regimental camp from town, was
shot 10 the head by negro soldier,
who also stabbed him in the back. A
little later a member of the Fourth
Kentucky was shot by negro soldiers,
who lay in gully shooting at the
white men who passed. Firing was
heard at Liberia, the negro quarter of
the city, and squad of provost guards
went to investigate. On the way
large crowd of negro soldiers, without
warning, opened fire upon the guard.
The guard returned the fire, but
had but few cartridges. and soon
had to retreat. Re-enforcements
and more ammunition were sent
for, but when they arrived the ne
groes had disappeared. In the engage
ment Sergt. Dodsou, of the Third Ten
nessee. wss shot in the arm, and Pri-
vste Graham, Third Tennessee. re-
ceived painful but not necessarily
dangerous wound in the stomach. II
any of the negroes were shot it is not
known, as no dead or wounded have as
yet been found. The other members OF
the provost guard are missing and can
not be found.
When news of the trouble became
known the white soldiers who were in
the city gathered around the provost
guards headquarters and begged for
guns and ammunition, crying because
their requests could not be granted.
Citizens armed themselves and repair
ed to the scene of the battle. Mayor
High at once ordered all saloons closed.
several negro soldiers were arrested
and locked up, though it was with diff
Guilty that the white soldiers aud citi-
zens were prevented from wreaking
summary vengeance upon them. Arm
cries of the two local military compa-
MES were broken into and every gun
and cartridge appropriated by unknown
parties. Ooe negro soldier while under
arrest was shot in the arm by citizen.
A later dispatch says that one negro
soldier was brought in dead and an
other fatally wounded.

REV. Dr. MoK1M, now ofthe pationa

REV. Dr. MoKIM, now ofthe national
capital, but formerly of Christ Church
this CITY, the church that Washington
attended, is an imperialist, and, in his
sermon yesterday, speaking OF the
Expansion" policy, said 1--WE have not
chosen TO assume these responsibilities;
tbev have been thrust upon US" Many
people would like to know who did the
"thrusting" referred to. Certainly
Spain did not, and, judging bom the op-
position to the proposed expansion
manifested by the Cubans and the
Filipinos, it is equally as patent that
they didn't. As the only people who
appear to be in favor of it are those OF
the United States, it seems 10 many
that they have chosen the expansion
policy Willingly, and did not have il
thrust upon them.

A REPUBLICAN preacher in the NORTH,
in his thanksgiving sermon yesterday,
said the people of this country advance
with the bible in one hand and the
gun in the other" There is no doubt
that some of them do. But that such
a mode of advance is not beneficial
either to this country or to those in
which it is made, is demonstrated by
the condition of the people of the
South and of the recently conquered
provinces.

WILL SAVE TEETH FROM DECAY
Tho theories advanced by DIR. Arch G..
Hart, of San Francisco, before the Den
tai Society, of Chicago, on the subject
of dentistry, are likely to raise tenn
pest among the members of that pro-
fes ion. DR.. Hart claims, to put the
matter in nutshell, that certain COM
pounds prevent the growth OF the bac-
terra of decay by absorbing the
water necessary to their develop
ment. and that by applying
these compounds the teeth may
be indefinitely preserved By harden
inc the enamel and dpntine by causing
the tooth to take certain substances dis
solved in water, DR.. Hart says he can
stop decay in teeth in short time. He
believes that the time is at hand when
there will be no necessity of pulling
teeth. The paper caused sensation
among the dentists. DIR. Hart has bean
asked to speak before the Dental So
ciety of Philadelphia.

The CUBAN newspapers protest
against the proposed immigration OF
the negroes of this country into their
island, and say they want no such ad-
dition to their population, aud thai
none are more opposed to it Than the
negroes already there. The nat'v
negroes of Liberia do not want AmeFi-
can negroes to come there. That the
North doesn't want them is not denied.
The only people who do want them, are
their old masters in the South, who
need their services, and would look
after their welfare, if they would live
with them, but that, their free schools
