Yo-k Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Recently she
asked Mrs. Daniel Manning If q date

was told that the invitation had never

the letter to justify herself before the
members of the society.
The Countess declares that there is
dissatisfaction between the officers oil

The Heat.

New York, July 19.-The tempera-
ture was from to 10 degrees lower
today than yesterday and the change
has relieved much suffering. The total
deaths yesterday, due directly or indi'
rectly to heat, was 20. In the hospitals
rs cases OF heat prostrations were treat"
ed. Over 200 horses were overcome 10
the streets and 20 were shot to relieve
them of suffering. The society for the
prevention OF cruelty to animals treated
26O cats aud dogs. The mercury's high
mark was 81 degrees. At o'clock tnls
morning the thermometer stood at 10
but up TO that time eight deaths had
been reported TO the police. Ten cases
of prostration were recorded. Physi-
clans explain that though the tempera-
ture is not sufficiently high to cause
death in ordinary cases, people have
become so weakened by the heat OF the
past three days that they are liable to
collapse. Eight persons are reported
dead today.

KILLED NEAR BALTIMORI

Word came to the Washington police
last night of fatal afiray at Bay View
Md, near Baltimore, in which ots
Washington negro was killad aud two
others were seriously wounded. TIE
fight took place late Tuesday night
and resulted from dispute over the
temporary possession of freight car
in which Jacob Jones, aged nineteen
years; Alfred Holmes, twenty years O!
age, and Isaiah Whitaker, OF Washing.
ton, had taken up qusrters. Jones was
shot through the body and died al tho
Baltimore City Hospital YESTERDAY
morning. Holmes and Whitaker were
both shot and seriously injured, the st.
ter, perhaps, fatally. No arrests bare
yet been made.
The three negroes left Washing 90
Monday afternoon. Friends heard
nothing from them until lsst light when
Detective Lacey informed them Of the
ARRAY. the death of Jones, and o the
wounds sustained by his companions.
Inspector Todd Hall, ofthe Baltimore
detective force, learned of the fOht aDd
telephoned to Washington asking that
news of the trouble be conveyei to
friends of the negroes living in Wash.
ington.
From statements made by Holmes al
the Baltimore Hospital, be and hIa
companions were set upon in the freight
car late Tuesday night. Four men
comprised the attacking party. A sur
render OF the Car by the Washington
negroes was demanded and refused
ThereupoD the asssilants opened fire
with rifle and revolver. After the at
tack the asssilants disappeared. Ear!
yesterday morning Jones died, Will
being removed to the hospital. His re
mains are held at the Baltimore morgu,
pending arrangements for their remova
to Washington.
Holmes and Whitaker were taken t
Baltimore and placed in the hospital
The latter is reported in critical COL
dtiop.
At the Ninth precinct station las
night it was said that warrant il nov
out for the arrest of Holmes, who Il
wanted on q charge of assault.
The Maryland authorities are under
stood to have taken steps to canture the
murderers of Jones. A description o.
the attacking party has been secured
from the wounded negroes and efforts
will be made to apprehend all con-
nected with the affair.

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1900

IT WAS stated in the local columns OF
Yesterdays Gazette that two negroes
in Jail here had been released upon the
payment OF their fines. The history OF
this case points the moral and adorns
the tale of the difference 10 the treat
ment negroes receive from Southern
people and that accorded them by
their professed friends OF the North.
The negroes referred to are superan-
nuated; they were induced by North
ern pension claim agents to swear that
they were entitled to pensions; their
perjury was detected and they were
convicted and sentenced by the U. 3.
district court 10 imprisonment until
their fines, 500 each, should be paid.
The pension agents took no further In
ferest in them; but among the delegates
who attended the democratic congress
sionsl convention here yesterday were
two sons of the former masters OF the
two old convicts, and the first thing
they did on arriving here was to go to
the Jail, pay the fines and send the
happy old negroes back to their homes
in Orange county. The amount paid for
them will, of course, be lost, for even
if disposed to return it, they would be
unable to do 30, as they are incapable oil
work, by reason of age. But, according
to Northern republicans, the white peo-
pie of the South bate the negroes. They
do want the negroes to behave them
selves and keep their place, but even
the negroes themselves know that they
are the ones upon whom to call when
trouble oyertakes them.
