UGLY RAGE RIOT
 IN GREENYILLE South Carolina Whites and
 Blacks in Conflict. WOUNDS OF A BATTLE One Mans Snsnanders Gut and Clothes
One Mans Suspenders Cut and Clothes Pierced by Bullets-A Peace-Mak- CT in Danger from the Wild
 Disorder of the Mobs.

Greenville, S. C., August 7.-Ben odam, a John McClinton, a negro. were wounded in a fierce battle between the white people and negroes living in the vicinity of the Poe and Sampson cotton mills near here here late last night. Odam was shot in the jaw and the negro, besides being con- siderably bruised, was struck in the wrist by bullet. J. c. Couch, a white man, has his suspenders cut by a shot and his cloth ing pierced by three other bullets in his efforts to save Odam. Four other negroes were wounded, but being taken away im- mediately by their friends to avoid arrest the natures of the injuries or identities could not be learned.
 Zack Moore, who started the trouble, is in jail. Yesterday evening while Operative Greenberg, of the Poe mill, with his family, were at the dinner table several shots were fired into his house. No was struck but Greenberg began to search for the would-be assassns. Zack Moore was the only one captured. He was placed in the county jail here. Word was sent by mes sengers to the negro church and the cour- iers reported that a negro had been lynched at the Poe mill. The churches were soon deserted and the negroes, arm ing themselves with shot guns, revolvers, axes and dangerous implements, went to the mill.
 The sheriff and chief of police could not persuade them that Moore was in jail and one of the number said: We will kill the chief of police if Moore is lynched."
 al fUp five in the crowd and as many mill operatives armed with guns gathered with the inten- tion of dispersing the negroes. The ne- groes attempted to arrest four white men. when the other operatives came to their some time. In many places it was a hand toJhand conflict. Many shots were fired, but the greater number of injuries were inflicted with clubs. At 2 o'clock this morn- ing the militia was called out and Rev. d. H. Pinson, pastor of the Zion Colored Bap- tlst church, went to the jail. Here he found Moore, and, coming back, he told the negroes Moore was safe. The effect of the militia was to cause the negroes to dis perse. There was some eXcitment today, but all is quiet tonight.
 At Il o'clock tonight Governor McSweeny, in response to request from the sheriff, ordered the local militia to hold itself in readiness and to be at the disposal of the sheriff. No trouble is anticipated but there is considerable uneasiness. Two of the ringleaders were arrested and this has caused some excitement among the ne- groes and they have also threatened to

Sensational Witness Summoned

Paris, August 7.-An evening paper here today caused a sensation by including among the supplementary witnesses whom Colonel Jouaust has announced he intends to personally summon the name of DeMul- Ter, officially described as a merchant of Lille, but whom the paper characterizes as a witness from Potsdam, asserting that he will testify concerning an incident which occurred in Emperor Williams cabinet It is also said that there is a witness named Willon, a merchant of Lyons, who, ac- cording to the same paper, was the witness to whom Colonel Jouaust referred as hav- ing seen Dreyfus conversing with German omcers during his stay in Alsace. Every thing is quiet this evening.

afternoon and found him hopeful, although much unnerved, as the rigorous examina- tion and especially the unfeeling demeanor displayed toward him by Colonel Jouaust proved a tremendous strain upon him. There are many persons who were pres ent at the trial, now under the impression that the harshness of the presiding judge was assumed and was intended to disarm the enemies of Dreyfus, who are only anx- ious to interpret ordinary courtesy into the grossest partiality toward the prisoner. If this be the case, and such an explanation is quite plausible, Dreyfus is naturally una ware of it and the effect upon his highly strung nerves must be very severe.
 meeting of the correspondents of for eign newspapers was held this evening to protest against the manner in which they have been treated in the distribution of tickets to the trial. The English and

Snakes Do swallow Their yonn..

met with curious incident some years ago while hunting snakes in the swamps at Aelrose. came across a male and female striped, with numer- ous young ones. The parents were near each other. the family crawling over and around them. l was going for them, when. on second thought. I con cluded to watch them They did not appear to be frightened, but went on ganboling about for some time. I weaE a little nearer when both snakes turned toward me making faint noise and placed their heads flat on the ground 1t was curious sight to See these snakes. hot long born. some of them foot or two away, turn at the noise, and instantly seek refuge in their parents wide-open mouths. I am certain it was note of warning of danger. I caught both snakes and put them in separate bags. The female had ten young and the male had swal- lowed five. This is the first instance of any notice of a male snake perform ing this affectionate duty for it's young. I placed the whole family in a box. where they lived peaceably a long time.
