HE HoNoReo THE TOWN.
Capt. Charles E. CLARK Dined at Ma,
Residence at Leicester.

Leicester, May s.-This town was
honored today by the presence Of Cap
tain Charles E. Clark, commander of
the battleship Oregon, during its ia
nous trip around Cape Horn. Mrs.
Clark is a niece Of Mrs. Samuel May,
being daughter of her sister, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark, with Mrs. Clark's
sister Mrs. John CONFESS of Mattapan,
dined at the May residence and spent
part of the afternoon there.
Miss Adeline May went to Worcester
to meet the distinguished guests this
forenoon, and returned with them this
afternoon. When a Spy reporter called
at the house, Miss May was away, but
Miss Bessie May received him cordial
ly. She said there was not much to
say except that Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
with Mrs. Corners, Mad dined there
and had left for Worcester, after hav-
ing stayed part Of the afternoon.
After leaving the Mays, the party
paid brief visit to Hon. and Mrs.
John E. Russell, who live across the
street. Miss May said that Captain
Clark had been at Leicester before, but
that his last visit occurred several
years ago. Since then he had been in

visited Japan, and everybody knows
his latest achievements Captain
Clark had come to New England to
turn the first sod for the foundation Of
the Dewey school to be erected near
Norwich Military Academy, in Yer
mont. Miss May was not sure of the
name, but said this was what drew
Capt. Clark to this part Of the country,
and that he had spent a very busy
week.
During the course of the conversa-
ton, Capt Clark denied that he ever
telegraphed the naval board at Wash
ington from a South American port not
to tie him up with orders. According
to his statements to Miss May, he tele-
graphed that he was not afraid to
make the trip north, and that he re-
ceived answer to come along, but to
keep a good lookout for Spanish YES
sells.
Twelve ladies from Worcester

ter this evening, and then played cards
during the evening.

Jackson. .-Messrs. Williamson &
Potter of this city have entered pc
culiar suit against the Illinois Cen
tral. They ere attorneys at this bar,
and they sue the company for $3.50 al
legged to be due them as fee in the
case of Thomas Austin vs.. The Hi
nois Central Company, in which case
they represented the plaintiff, Aus
tin demanded damages for personal
injury, the loss of hand. He agreed
with his attorneys to make no COM
promise with the company to which
they were not parties, and further
agreed to pay them one-half the
amount recovered as fee. In spite
of this agreement, the plaintiff privily
compromised with the personal injury
agent for $500, and failed to pay over
the stipulated one-half to his attor-
neys. The attorneys claim that the
compromise was collusion between
the agent and the plaintiff to defraud
them of their rightful fee, and they,
therefore, ask judgment against the
railroad for the amount.

DREYFUS WILL WITHDRAW APPEAL
This Will Leave Ground Clear for Issu-

This Will Leave Ground Clear for Issu-
ance of Pardon.
M. De Blowitz, the Paris corre-
spondent of the London Times, says:
81 learn that Captain Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for a re-
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern
ment to take immediate steps to par
don him. This pardon will not annul
the civic and military consequences of
the verdict, and ho will, therefore, no
longer belong to the army.
There is nothing, however, to pre-
vent his applying to the court of cas-
sation to quash the Rennes trial
whenever the new fact required by
law is produced When liberated, he
will settle in the south of France, as
the members of his family do not wish
to expose him to such demonstrations
of sympathy abroad as might be used
against him by his adversaries at
home"
The Paris correspondent of the
Daily News, says the premier, M.
Waldeck- Rosseau, has promised def
nitely to propose pardon for Dreyfus
at next Tuesday sscabinet council.

vile, ILL.,, says: A bloody riot occurred
about noon today, in which seven ne
groes were killed and two others re-
ceived slight injuries The dead are:
Rev. o. 7. J, Floyd, Huse Bradley,
John Black, Henry Barnum, Sam
Cummins, Jim Hayes, unidentified
negro. The trouble grew out of the
conflict which has existed all the sum.
mer between the white miners of this
part of the state and negro non-union
miners. The situation is considered
critical. Company G, Fourth regi-
ment Illinois National Guards, arrived
Sunday evening under orders from
Springfield, and will endeavor to pre-
serve order. Its members are pat
rolling the streets, but the presence
of the militia has not yet allayed the
excitement
Forty miners from the Herrin mines,
a few miles distant, armed with Krag
Jorgenson rifles, started for Carter
vile to assist the white miners as soon
as they heard of the outbreak of
trouble with the negroes.
The labor trouble here is closely as
sociated with that of Pana, where
conflicts between the striking
white miners and negro non~union
miners resulted in considerable loss of
life, and made it necessary to keep
several companies Of the state militia
or duty for months. The trouble has
lasted for over a year, and only last
Monday had the conditions here be-
come peaceful enough to warrant the
withdrawal by Governor Tanner of the
last company of militia. Since then
the white miners of this place have re-
fused to allow the negroes to come
into town, always meeting them and
ordering them back. Monday, how
over, thirteen negroes, all armed,
marched into town, going to the Hi
nois Central depot 1t is claimed their
purpose was to take a train and leave
| Cartersville. The usual crowd Of
white miners gathered, however, anc
wordy quarrel began.
While this was in progress some o
the negroes pulled their pistols an(
fred into the crowd of whites. Thi
was the signal for volley from tn
latter, which brought down four ne
groes. All were instantly killed il
the storm of bullets that followed tn
first shots from the blacks.
This terrible execution caused tn
negroes to scatter and run, some flee
ing up the main street, while the re
mainder started down the railroa'
track. All who ran in the direction
of the town escaped, the whites fear
ing to shoot in that direction becaus
of tho danger to onlookers.
The negroes who fled down the rail
road track, however, were pursuet
with merciless fire. Cummins hat
gone but few feet when he fell head
long with wounds that caused his
death within few hours. Several O
the negroes were seen to falter, ano
were undoubtedly hit, but they con
tinued to run for their lives. After
the last had disappeared and compare
tive quiet was restored, two bodies OF
negroes were found just outside OF
town, making seven fatalities as the
result of the fight.

EXPRESS BoBBER sURRENDERs.

After Wandering Over the World, Charles
Summers Goes Back to Penitentiary.
Charles o. Summers, the noted ex-
press robber, who relieved the South
ern Express Company at Meridian Of
$1,000 and afterwards escaped from
the Mississippi prison, after serving
one year of five-year sentence, re-
turned to the penitentiary Friday and
gave himself up to complete his SEN
tence.
Summers was Pinkerton detective
at the time of the Meridian robbery,
and used his position as means Of
getting the confidence Of the express
officials. After long chase, he was
finally captured in San Francisco, and
had been inside the walls scarcely
three months when he escaped, but
was shortly afterwards recaptured. In
the summer of 1892 he again escaped.
Summers gives as reason for his
surrender that he lived continually in
fear of being captured, and preferred
to settle his account with the law and
relieve his apprehension. Since his
escape he has travelled over a good
portion of the civilized globe, having
only recently returned from the Klon.
