RACE WAR STARTED.
Whites and Negroes Have Con-
aict Near Cardiff, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala-), June 81
Three negroes are dead and one is not
expected to live until morning as re-
suit of a riot between the white and
negro miners at the ore mines near
Cardiff, in Jefferson County The dead
are:
Ed Ellis, Jim Dill, Adam Samuels.
Wounded Rudolph Williams, George
Thomas, mortally.
The two races came to a clash in the
late afternoon in Glasgow Hollow,
where the negroes had congregated,
armed with Winchester rifles. A white
man passing along the road was held
up and besides being abused was rough
ly handled This news soon spread.
and an armed body of white miners
moved toward the hollow. 1t is sup
posed they went around by circuitous
route in the mountains and came upon
the negroes Unexpectedly.
Ed Wise, the ringleader, armed with
a Winchester and Colts revolver, fell
at the first fire. A rifle bullet did the
work. There was another yolley and
four other negroes fell. Jim Dill and
Adam Samuels died in few minutes
after being removed to negro house.
George Thomas was shot through the
abdomen with a Winchester bullet. He
is not expected to recover. Rudolph
Williams will live.
The trouble started yesterday when
it wasl thought that John Shepherd, who
on last Wedns sday assaulted Mrs. Mon
roe Jones at Carcerona, was in that vi
entity. The negroes armed themselves
to prevent his capture. Both sides We're
aroused, and only the timely arrival of
a Sheriff's posse prevented an outbreak.
This morning the negro miners held
mass meeting and refused to go to
work. They all belong to secret or
ganization known as the knights of
Africa" or the mysterious Men" They
keep rifles and ammunition on hand at
all times. 1t was in the afternoon that
they gathered in Glasgow Hollow, al
though with what intention is not now
known
Influential citizens say that the ring
leaders are now out of the way and
they hope to manage the other negroes.
| Shortly after the riot Sheriff O'Brien
left here with 100 armed men. He now
has the situation in hand for the time
being, although late reports say the
situation is extremely critical, and that
the negroes are talking of avenging the
death of their leaders.
Sheriff O'Brien, who is now at Bloss-
burg, has received a message from
Adamsville, three miles from that place,
asking for protection. An armed body
of negroes is gathered in the mountains
threatening to make descent upon the
mining camp in the valley.
special from Cardiff says: Few
men are asleep here tonight. Each
side is expecting an attack. The
trouble really started last night when
body of white men fired on some negro
shacks. One negro was shot in the leg.
and as a result the negroes were sullen
and refused to go to work to-day.
A. private dispatch received in Birm-
| ingham Tonight states that the dead
and wounded negroes were shot in the
back.

moving the diamonds that adorned the

women passengers attracted the atten-
ton of Policemen Fennell and Sylvester,
and as they started to board the car the
daring crooks quickly alighted and ran
along Powell street One Of the men was
captured after a short chase and taken
TO police headquarters. TO captain
Whitman he said his name was Joe
Mack and that he had recently arrived

He emphatically denied that he knew
the, men who worked" the passengers,
and that he had anything TO do with the
bold crime. He was locked up in the
tanks pending further investigation:
Mr.. Rothchild was robbed OF valuable
diamond stud while looking az the pre-
arranged scrap. while another man.
whose name was not ascertained, lost a
gold watch. Several women were relieved
of diamond pins and other articles OF
jewelry.
AS soon as the daring crime was re-
ported to Captain Whitman he detailed
all his available men in citizens clothes
TO round up the desperate crooks. They
