Marion, ILL.,, June 3O.-At 10 o'clock to-
day, as a special train on the Illinois Cen
trail railway carrying coach load of
negroes from Pana to Brush's mines, one
mile north of Carterville. stopped at the
Fredonia mine. three miles north of Car
terville a large number of strikers opened
fire on the negroes, killing one woman and
wounding about twenty others.
Before the work could be carried fur
Their the train pulled out for Johnston
City. When it reached a point one mile
north of Brushs mine the negroes were
unloaded and marched across the country
to their destination. 1t is said majority
of the rioters were negroes who were
brought here from the South year ago
and have since Joined the union.
Reports from Gainesville say there is
great excitement in the nelghboshood of
the Brush mines and a battle between tho
working negroes, who are we'll armed,
and the strikers, who are on the ground
ready for fight may begin. at any mo-
ment.
Superintendent Brush has wired Sheriff
Gray asking for protection. The sheriff
has gone to the scene, but he took no
deputies with him. He has no guns to
arm them. The Brush miners have been
on strike for some time. The trouble
is the same old one, the question of
wages.

THE AMERICAN sAENCERBUND.
The Attendance Has surpassed All
~ Expectations.

The Attendance Has Surpassed All
SA Expectations.
Cincinnati Ohio, June 30.-The golden
jubilee Of the North American Saenger-
bund is certainly now an assured success.
The attendance during the last two days
surpassed expectations and the opening
concert Of last night surpassed the highest
expectations in the musical line.
A meeting Of delegates of the Saenger
bund was held today in Turner hall. Pres
ident Deiler in calling the convention to
order gave the delegates a hearty welcome
to this, the fftieth anniversary and COM
plimented the splendid success attending
the meeting. The reports of the officers
were heard. The treasury showed total
receipts OF $3401, expenditures $i652. bal
ance sl7s8.
Baltimore was unanimously chosen as
the place for holding the next convention
and the meeting then adjourned until 10
a. m. Saturday.
The concert this afternoon had the ad-
vantage of ideal weather and attracted a
large audience. The programme was va
ried one.
The Saengerfest hall tonight contained
an audience of over 1000 people. In ad-
dition TO this the orchestra and chorus
numbered nearly 1000. The spectacle was
one TO prove an Astounding love of song.
Hundreds OF devoted music lovers stood
throughout the evening, unable to obtain
seats.
The Saengerbund mass chorus In which
the singers are numbered by thousands.
held the stage the greater part of the
evening, 1t is difficult to describe the e.
feet of such a volume OF voices in such
songs. No National lines limited the APP
probation of the grand vocalization. When
the thirty-fve hundred men arose at the
conductors signal, the audience broke into
applause. Then as the great volume of
sound filled every portion of the great hall
and exhibited the most exact obedience to
the conductors will. as If all the voices
were an instrument under his control. the
listeners sat in mute admiration and Won
der how 1t was possible with hut one
mass rehearsal for Conductor Ehrgott to
produce such results, was the question in
the mind of every listener.
