Negro Nom Union Men Armed for Protec-
ton and strikers Also Armed.
Evansville, Ind. July 24.-The negro
miners at the Ingle mine came out
early Saturdav afternoon because OF
report that was current on the streets
that the union miners intended to
make an attack upon them. They were
marched from the mine in charge OF
deputy sheriffs. They carried Winches-
tiers, and as they marched through the
streets were met with epithets. 1t
was only the arrival of squad of
police Friday evening that prevented
blOodshed. The strikers assembled
near the Ingle mine entrance and head
ed off and attempted to surround the
non-union men. The negroes hurried
back to the mine, armed themselves
with Winchesters, and prepared to
fight. Ie quickly developed that the
miners were also armed, and prepare
tions for q guerrilla battle had been
made when the police arrived.
The union miners held a secret meet
ing in the West End Saturday and it is
reported that they decided to take
steps to disarm the negro diggers in
sentiment is with the strikers and on
all sides Governor Mount is being de-
nounced for permitting the negroes to
arm themselves. The strike situation
is certainly grave and even the most
conservative predict serious results in
case the negroes are not disarmed, as
the strikers are determined and we'll

behind small bill board. The explo-
sion was the signal for renewing the
attack from the house tops and alleys.

Strike at Cincinnati Results in Stabbing,
Stoniug and Clubbing.
Cincinnati, July 25.-The strike of
messenger boys that started last Sat
urday became more serious last night.
Two boys were stabbed, several hit by
missiles, and many slugged with clubs.
The street urchins congregated about
the Western Union and Postal offices
last night, about 1000 at each place.
When a new boy or man went out
with messages a gang pursued him
with epithets, clubs and stones. When
these working messengers took street
cars the pursuing mob stoned the cars,
and some innocent people were hurt
none seriously.
The police charged on the mobs re-
peatedly and scattered them, but the
disturbers would soon rally again.
Later at night the mob concentrated
around the Postal Office. The compa-
MES yesterday refused to recognize
the newly formed union, and at a
meeting last night the boys voted to
continue the strike. At this meeting
the newsboys and some tobacco strip
pers promised to join them today. The
boys will start petition & among the
business men today.

New York, July 24.-The trolley car
strike, both in Manhattan and Brook
Ign, seems to be practically at an end.
General Master Workman Parsons says
it is not, and yesterday at a meeting of
the Central Federated Union he
launched scheme for a new labor
political party and at the same time
urged upon the delegates OF the vari-
Gus trades unions in New York the
expediency of contributing to fund
to aid the strikers, and the delegates
promised their financial support. This
is probably what causes General Mas
ter Workman Parsons and District
Master Workman Pines to promise
important developments in the strike
situation this week.
The project Of the organization Of
new labor party was enthusiastically
Endorsed by the delegates at the Cen
trail Federated meeting, a number Of
speeches being made in it's advocacy. A
convention was formally called for Aug.

Said He Had a Bad Night.

Yesterday morning he rose at the
usual hour and joined the family at
breakfast He then said he had spent
a bad night, but felt better. He had
been suffering from abdominal pains
and tightness about the chest He did
not think his condition at all danger
ous After breakfast he telephOned to
DR.. Smith, his physician, who is at
Belle Haven, and told him of his eX-
perience during the night. DR.. Smith
told him, he said, to continue the use
of nitro glycerine, and that he would
see him during the day. Colonel In
gersoll spent the morning swinging in
a hammock and sitting on the veranda
with the members of the family. He
said he was better and had no pain.
At 49, 80 he started to go Up stairs.
His Last Words on Earth.
On reaching the head of the stairs
Colonel Ingersoll turned into his wife's
room. Mrs. IngersOll was there. To-
gether they discussed what they would
have for luncheon, and Colonel Inger-
soil said he had better not eat much,
owing to the trouble with his stomach.
He seemed in good spirits then. After
talking for few minutes Colonel In
gersoll crossed the room and sat down
in a rocking chair He leaned his head
upon his hand Mrs. Ingersoll asked
him how he was feeling and he re-
piled: ooh, better" These we're his
last words. a second after they were
uttered he was dead.
Died According to His Wish.
There was not even a sigh or a groan
as death came. Mrs. IngersOll was the
only person in the room with him
when he died. Death came to him as
he had recently expressed desire that it
should. He often in old times said he
wished to die slowly, with full con-
seriousness, so he might tell those about
him how it felt. Recently he eXper-
fenced a change and desired to die pain
lessly and without warning.
Robert G. IngersOlls fame will rest
upon his war on the Christian religion.
He was an agnostic; his creed was II
do not know" to put it briefly. But
the God of the Bible was a person
upon whom he never tried of pouring
out his wrath, criticism and sarcasm.
He was an author of many books max
ing sport and otherwise Of Christianity
and his time was largely devoted to
lecturing against what he believed to
be the suDerstitions and worse of that
religion and the Bible. His profession
was that of the law and there his fame
will rest upon his oratory, which was
simply matchless in some of his utter
anceS.
