RUSHING NEGRO TRIALS.
Another Lot of Darien Rioters
Speedily Convicted.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Sept. 3.-At Darien
yesterday the court moved more rapidly in
the trial of the negro rioters. The jury out
Friday night on the second batch of five, sat
on the case for twelve hours and then re-
turned with the statement that it was i'm
possible for them TO agree on the guilt of
Josephine Bird, the negress while as for
Abram Green, they found a verdict of not
guilty Judge Seabrook sent the jury back
and told them to agree and report. The
foreman stated that they would not agree
IL they were out six months and Judge
Eeabrook told them they could sit seven
h necessary In about an hour the judge
sent for the jury accepting their verdict
as they were then ready to return it.
Those convicted were Jonas Green, Moses
Miller and Lawrence Baker. Josephine
Birds case was reported a mistrial and
Abram Green was found not guilty. The
cases against Charles Mcdonald. Dave Pet
ty. Hugh Thompson, Moses Bailey, and
John Thompson were on trial in the mean
time and the jury was out only about ten
minutes when a verdict of guilty against
them was returned, with the exception Of
John Thompson. The case against Bill
Jenkins was tried separately, he having
employed a different lawyer from the rest,
and the jury brought in verdict Of guilty
against him. The court then adjourned
until Monday. Judge Seabrook is rush

YELLOW FEVERSPREADING
Florida officials Pronounce the Dis
ease Epidemic at Key West
Ten New Cases Discovered Yesterday
-Unncelimated Persons Fleeing
Tor safefy-Many Prevented From
Leaving by the Authorities-A De-
tention Camp TO Be Established.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 3.-Reports 3.
received here from Key West say that
ten new cases of yellow fever were dis
covered there today, making thirty in all
No deaths were reported. The city is be-
ing thoroughly searched by house-to-
house patrol.
Unacclimated persons are trying to leave
Key West, but it is hard for them to get
off the island, which is closely guarded.
About 100 persons left for New York this
afternoon on the Lampasas. Some have
left on schooners for Northern points. A
party of seven left last night and tried
TO land on the east Florida coast, but the
State board of health's patrol launch
caught them near Miami. They are in
camp there, well guarded and kept from
coming into contact with Others.
Or. Porter. State health officer arrived
at Key West this afternoon and took charge
of matters. The disease is pronounced
endemic but not OF a serious nature;
that is not of the virulent type. The Gov
ernment authorities have a list of people
coming from Key West on the Plant
steamers within the past ten days and
are keeping close surveillance over them.
The State board will establish large
detention camp near Miami or below there
at once. DR. Hosey leaves here tomorrow
for that purpose. This will be run in CON-
nection with the Government authorities
and will prove of vast benefit in caring
for the refugees from Key West.

Race Conflicts in the South.


Whatever the remedy is il must work
its way slowly, and violence is likely to
be repeated while it is in progress. The
most that anyone can hope for is gradual
diminution Of violence. All attempts to Sc
cure sudden and complete changes of heart
will fail. There is no such thing in national
life. Senator Butler of South Carolina is
out with statement that the only remedy
is deportation of the blacks to some colony
of their own, at the expense of the General
Government. The answer comes in the
same paper that contains Buffers letter.
Last winter the blacks were scared away
from Wilmington, N. c., in large numbers
by fear of a general slaughter. Many OF
them came here to Brooklyn and the cotton
packer for whom they worked now has an
agent here trying to induce them to return.
The manual labor Of the South must be
largely negro labor. The Industrial pros
perity OF the region depends upon that. The
two races must work out their problem
side by side, and until enough of the ne
groes become trained and well paid me
chanics to raise them above the influence
of the mob spirit, until they have stake
enough in the country to give them a
vital interest in the preservation of law
and order occasional outbreaks of race
antagonism will occur. But the whites.
as the more intelligent and controlling
race. can fairly be held TO the RESPONSE
biIity of diminishing their aggressions.

o'DELL'S STRANGE ATTIRE.
The Ninth Police Precinct Enter
tains a Unique Guest.

The Ninth Police Precinct Enter
tains Unique Guest.
The police of No. 8 station entertained
last night most peculiar individual, whom
they claim is a genuine specimen of the
genus crank. The individual was arrested
on the Bladensburg Road by Mounted
Policeman West, who charged him with
being suspicious character. The prisoner
appears to be certainly that. He gave his
name as John o'Dell, his age as thirty
years, and claimed that he did not know
from whence he hailed He was very reti-
cent concerning himself and his movements,
but admitted that he came TO this city from
Baltimore. Because of the dress and gen.
eral demanor of the man the police were
inclined TO think they had stray clown
from the circus. The true character of
O'Dell will be determined when he is ar
raigned in court this morning.
O'Dell, when brought before the rail-
ing al the station, presented woe6egone
dilapidated, and strikingly peculiar appear
ance. He was attired in a mixed grey
cloth garment which bore slight resem-
blance to coat that had seen far better
days, pair OF seedy looking blue oyeralls,
and pair Of immense rough shoes other
wise known as brogans He was sockless,
| or "Jerryied' as Stationkeeper Ray ex-
pressed II, and wore a shirt of monde
| script character. Surmounting the outfit
\ and a shaggy head of hair was conical
shaped white hat, such as clowns wear
when amusing an audience in the large
| ring. O'Dell was most conspicuous by an
/ abundant facial hirsute adornment. which
| included an unkempt beard of decidedly
blonde color, and a struggling moustache,
which had once been the same shade.
Altogether the makeup OF the man would
| have been a fortune TO a thespian who
! looked for histrionic honors as an impre-
sario. a second comedian in low comedy, or
! a leading heavy in a transforming troupe,
| that played nothing but three-minute or a
| trifie longer stands, of course taking into
| consideration the patience and powers OF
| endurance of a country audience. He
| looks like a combination of Ichabod Crane,
Rip Van Wrinkle. Bill Hoey, and a soap
West as he faced the man toward Station
keeper Ray to answer the usual questions
as to name, age, nationality, married or
single, occupation and charge.
! O'Dell is of a most phlegmatic temper
ament for a man bearing his name, and
| observed a reticence that would have
! shamed a mute. 1t was with great difi-
| Guilty, and after much persuasion that the
routine questions bore fruit, and then the
| answers came in such surly tones as in
! dicated beyond a doubt that the man was
not pleased with his environs, and the con-
| sequences which he evidently realized
were inevitable. 1t is possible that more
| will be learned of the man when he faces
Judge Taylor this morning.

CARRIERS COUNSEL TALKING.
He Says the Captain Is Victim Of
Nicaragua Canal Promoters.

Nicaragua C0naI FrOmOtcfos
CHICAGO, Sept S-The Times Herald"
OF today printed purported interview with
Frank H. Biair,on OF the counsel OF
Capt oberlin NJ. Carter. in which he said
he had filed with President Mckinley
charges against Gen. Elwell S. Otis COM
mander of the American army in the Phil
ippines and president Of the Carter court
martial. He also was quoted as saying
that he would soon prefer charges against
Colonel Barr, who represented the Govern
ment at the court-martial.
Lawyer Blair, in a statement tonight, de-
MED that he had charged General Otis with
perjury and subordination of perjury. He
said:
81 have made no such charge against
General Otis. A reading Of my affidavit does
not by the furtherest stretch of the imag-
ination support such statement as has
appeared as coming from me. The affi-
davit was filed with the President along
with others last fall. The affidavit
was a proof that the two members Of
the court-martial had exceeded their
province in discussing the case with the
prosecuting attorney. In any legal pro-
ceeding such an act is sufficient to throw
out the verdict OF a jury.
Il never talked with the President about
the affidavit. / do not even know if he
read it The story is absurd. The affidavit
was filed to show the prejudice of the presi-
dent Of the court-martial. My accusation
against General Otis goes that far and no
further. / believe that he was influenced
in his judgment on the matter by some
thing or somebody outside of the evidence,
That is evident to any reader of the evil
dence"
Continuing. Mr. Blair said Carter was
singled out as a victim of the wrath OF
the men who have been promoting the
Nicaragua Canal scheme Il believe il he
had never announced his intention to
prick the plans of the promoters he would
not have been accused"

Of their ways and do what they can to help
Dreyfus cut Of his trouble. Such action, il taken
