OFFICERS SLAIN.
A Desperate Negroes bloody Work
In New Orleans-The Murderer
Escapes.

New Orleans, July 25.-A trifling
incident began, late Monday night, a
series of tragedies which it was feared
for time would eliminate in an out
break similar to the Italian lynching
several years ago. A lynching is likely
if a negro fugitive is caught, who is
now being pursued by officers and cit
liens. The dead are: Police Captain
John I. Day and Policeman Peter j.
Lamb. Policeman August T. Mora
was wounded. Two suspicious negroes
were hanging around quiet neigh
borhood, and somebody informed the
police. Several officers went to the
scene, and the negroes refused to
make explanations and showed fight.
Pistols were soon in play and Officer
Mora was seriously shot. One of the
negroes was arrested, but Robert
Charles, who did the shooting, got
away, although he was wounded.
The police organized a pursuit and
succeeded in locating the fugitive.
Captain John 7. Day, commanding the
posse, led the police to Charles
shanty and tried to reach the refugee
by dark alley leading to it. They
carried lanterns and were easily dis
tinguished, and when they got close
enough Charles opened fire with a
Winchester rifle, killing Captain Day,
and kept up the fusillade until the cap
tain had been shot five times. A me-
gress opened the door of an adjoining
room and told the police to jump in,
as Charles had rifles and ammunition
and an impregnable position. They
obeyed, thinking to hold Charles in
his quarters until help or daylight
came. Officer Lamb was the last to
attempt to reach shelter after the Of
ficers had emptied their revolvers in
the direction of the negro, and Charles
reached out and dropped him with a
bullet behind the ear.
Nearly an hour elapsed before reen-
forcements came, and these were placed
around the block to prevent escape. It
was then discovered that Charles had
already left the room, though shot at
the pickets told that he was in the
neighborhood. The two dead policemen
were removed and a systematic search
organized, but no trace of the fugitive
was found.
Thousands of people had gathered
around the scene of the shooting,
and. lacking a victim or other excite
ment, proposed vengeance on the
property and negroes in the novels
around. The police promptly quelled
the disturbers and jailed a number of
persons, but the guard had to be in
creased.

Saturday afternoon received the fol-

mour:
"Tientsin entirely evacuated by Chi
nese.'
New York, July pa dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Che
foo, July 20, says the Chinese army is
now retreating toward Picking from
Tientsin.
A brilliant dash against large
force of Chinese at Mentsin was made
Monday morning by detachment of
American troops. assisted by some
English fusileers.
The object was to capture battery
of large cliber cannon which had
been doing great damage.
The Anglo-American troops charged
large fort across an open space, and
were exposed to hot but poorly G-
rected fire from the enemy.
They dashed into the fort and, after
engaging the Chinese in a sharp hand
to-hand fight. put them to flight and
remained masters of the fort.
Eight large modern guns were cap
tured, together with carts and all the
accessories. The battery was imme-
diately turned upon the fleeing enemy,
who under the well-directed fire suf-
fered heavy losses.
The victory was won in an incred-
IDLY short time against an overwhelm-
ingly superior force, and, despite the
charge under fire and the fight in the
fort, neither the Americans nor the
British lost a single man.

Georgetown, Ky, July 23.-The testi-
mony Of messenger boy in the Goebel
murder trial created great sepsation
in the court Saturday. He testified
that he saw the assassination and that
he saw the muzzle of a rifle protruding
out of the window in the secretary of
states Office, the sash being raised
about Is inches and the curtains being
down.
Georgetown, KY, July 24.-Many of
the details of the plot which resulted
in the assassination of Senator Goebel
at Frankfort last winter were brought
out in the course of the testimony
given in the Powers case, the main
witness in the morning session of court
being Lieut.. John Ricketts,, an officer
in the state militia.
From what Ricketts, said while on
the stand it was made apparent that
more than one man at Frankfort at
the time of the shooting knew some
thing was about to happen, and so far
as Ricketts, was concerned he very
bluntly said in the course of his testi-
hiohJ lHoC Ao1 loHS DeIOre the SnOtS

that Powers did all he could to keep
the members of the mountain army
which he brought to Frankfort Jan
