started to break into another second
hand store, but patrol wagon full OF
police came up and dispersed them.
The down town mob, however. did
terrible execution, and kept up it's work
until half past o'clock A notorious
character about the city took the lead,
and they headed for the neighborhood
of Franklin and Custom House streets.
They found no negroes there, and were
going down Villers street, toward some
negro novels, when they saw a negro
in crowded Villers street car They
halted the car, pulled the trolley off.
| ordered about twenty passengers out
and then murdered the black. He was
| dragged out and filled with lead, being
instantly killed. He was evidently a
laborer. His name is not known.
The mob then moved out to the vicin-
ity of the old basin on Toulose street
and terroriZed the neighborhood, but
evidently found no negroes. They
went down as far as Kelerec and
Dauphin streets, where they found a
negro,
Seventy-Five Years Old,
named Baptist Flo, whom they beat
and shot almost to death.
Coming up town again. they headed
for the French market and met at IN
known negro at Decatur, between St.
Philip and Ursulines, whom they
promptly beat into an insensible con-
dition and left for dead. He was dis
covered an hour later and died shortly
after. He had been pulled from meat
wagon, which he was driving to The
French market. They found another
negro in the market and promptly put
an end to his existence. He is not
known.
They located the porter of the Louis
vile & Nashville pay car and chased
him up the levee. He ran into the
custom house, where he was protected
by the night Waterman at the point of
& Winchester. The crowd sulked
around for a while, and then gradually
dispersed.
Acting Mayor Mehle issued a proc
lamation at 1870 o'clock calling upon
all good citizens to keep the peace, but
it did not stop the rioting.
Just before daybreak the remnant CT
the mob gathered in the vicinity of the
Spanish fort railroad to waylay negroes
as they were going to their work at
Chalmette Some Of them came along
and the mob chased them, firing as
they ran. A baker on his morning
rounds caught bullet In his leg.
William Armstrong, negro, sitting
on the Claiborne bridge, was shot in
the thigh by a mob that passed there.
One negro was killed, three were ia
tally injured and fifteen persons were
seriously hurt during the nights riot
ing. Among the seriously injured are
several white men.
Unverified reports have reached
police headquarters from many sec
lions of the city, giving information OF
the beating of negroes.
Work on the levee, where negro labor
is largely employed, has Deen sup
pended. The big grocery and produce
houses are also practically doing moth
ing because they cannot get their
! negro drivers to risk their lives.
Mayor Capdevielle communicated
with Gov Heard, who will Immediately
call out the militia to preserve order.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Discussing
the conditions of the iron and steel
industries and the meeting in Chicago
to-day, the Iron Age, in its regular
weekly review, says that the gravity
of the situation is indicated by the
arrangements which have been made
for this conference of the leading steel
and Bessemer pig iron interests, which
is to be held in the Office of the Fed
eral Steel Company, Chicago, to-day.
The call is signed by e. II. Gary, of
the Federal Steel Company; C. M.
Schwab, of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, and JOS. G.. Butler, Jr., repre-
senting the Bessemer Furnace Associa-
ton, and states that at former meet
ing of the presidents of the leading
steel companies, it was thought adj
visable to call this meeting to go over
the situation and see what could be
done to improve it. The Iron Age
says:
THE plan proposed is to cut down
blast furnace controlled by these in
terests is to be closed under agree
ment for one month, the Federal Steel
Company, Carnegie Steel Company and
other large companies agreeing to do
this if the others will, The success of
such plan will depend upon the
unanimity with which it is accepted.
The dissent of single important
interest would probably be fatal"
OF the general situation, the Iron
Age says:
THE week just closing has devel-
oped considerable more business than
its predecessors, and this has given a
mild sort of encouragement to manu-
facturers. Nevertheless, the increase
in the volume of business is not great
enough by any means to satisfy the
manufacturers, who need a steady
stream Of orders to keep their mills
running or their blast furnaces free
from accommodating heavy stocks of pig
iron. The sales made have in nearly
every instance been accomplished at
the still further sacrifice of prices. A
lower range of prices than that of last
week now prevails through almost the
whole line. 1t is assumed by some
that the bottom is now in sight because
present prices in many cases represent
actual cost of production, but this has
often proved to be a delusion. Prices
will continue to settle until the supply
falls below the demand.
"A very interesting item of news is
the announcement that the Carnegie
Steel Company is about to enter into
the manufacture of rods on large
scale, and that it may also decide to
manufacture hoops, bands and cotton
ties.
Some failures of foundrymen have
occurred in New York and New Eng
land, but they are not regarded as in
dicating any general weakness in the
trade"

A SPLENDID NOMINATION.

The nomination of Hon. \. O. Mur- phy, as the standard bearer of the republican party in this territory gives general satisfaction, to republicans, but seems to cause consternation and woe in the ranks of democracy.
 Mir, Murphy has served one term in congress in which he gave satisfac- tory service, and as governor no man has occupied that position in years who has given such general satisfac- tion.
 Every official act of his has been actuated from a sincere desire to do the very best thing possible for the territory and no one can point to any official act performed by him to which even suspicion of crookedness or corrup- tion can attach. Even his fair mind ed political opponents admit this.
 That President Mckinley will be reelected and that the republicans will have a majority in the next con gress is practically conceded and with these conditions existing in Washington, the territory could not send any man to represent it in the halls ofcongress who could accomplish as much as Governor Murphy.
 With his election, statehood, which has been the watch word of campaigns for several years can become an ac- complished fact.

FROM ECUADOR.
Pleasant Talk With Gen. 4. J. Samp- son, Who Represents Uncle Sam S Government in That Republic.

Gen. A. J. Sampson, |. s. Minister
 to Ecuador, who arrived on the Kos
 mos liner Tanis this morning from Quito, Is a distinguished looking gen tleman, well past middle age, but still brim full of energy and good ma ture:
 The general is a resident of Phenix, Arizona, from where he was appointed envoy and minister to Ecnador by President Mckinley some three years ago, and he has the honor of being the first appointment to position of such rank that has been made from a territory in 62 years.
 Quito, where my wife and 1 have spent the last three years, has the most delightful climate in the world" :" said General Sampson this afternoon. Its altitude of 10000 feet and loca- tion just l3 minutes off the equator gives it climate of perpetual spring; no Fourth of July and no Christmas; roasting ears every month in the year, and no heated term
 "The population of Quito is S0,0O0, and there are 70 churches in the city, all Catholic, of couse; not a protestant church there, although there are two or three protestant missionaries, whom I managed to save from a mob a few months ago and who were doing very well at last accounts. There are not more than 50 English speaking peo- pie in the city.
 Eloy Alfaro is the present presi- dent of Ecuador. He came in with the revolution in 1895, and is still in power. He belongs to the liberal or anti-Catholic party, and under his di- reetion the country is quite prosper ous. The country has just gone un- der the gold standard.
 II left Quito July 18th and arrived at Guaquil August 1. The trip of $50 miles is fearful to contemplate. There is no road between the two cities over which any sort of wheeled vehicle can go, and absolutely everything must be carried on the backs of mules or Indians. An American company is now engaged in building a railroad between the two cities, which when completed will cost S17,500,000.- San Diego Sun.

Public School Notes.

The enrolment in the primary grades of our city schools is consider ably greater than ever before in the history of the city. Miss Strange, in the first primary, has seventy-three pupils, twenty-one more than for the corresponding month last year. The best primary schools, as a rule, do not attempt to handle more than half this number. Miss Edwards, in the second primary, has an enrolment of sixty pupils more than last year.
 In order to relieve Miss Strange, four of the most advanced of the young lady students of the high school assist the little folks in their busy work and various other exercises while Miss Strange hears recitations. Each of these young ladies serves about one-fourth of the day in rota- ton so that Miss Strange has assis- tance practically throughout the en- tire day. Under her direction they are giving gratuitously excellent ser vice.
 This crowded condition is not con fined to the primary rooms alone. Extra desks have been placed in all the available space in Miss Cages room, with the result that there are yet hardly enough desks for the pu- pills. The grammar ard high school rooms are also full to over flowing.
 Miss Jennie Ketcherside and Miss Frances Hance, of Camp Verde have entered the high school this year. They are boarding in the city.

until depth of 100 feet was reached, when sinking was stopped and pre- parations made to drift into the ore body to determine its size. The ore assays a fraction over 3S per cent cop per, and nearly s gold and few ounces silver. It has all the ingredi- ents to make a splendid smelling ore. The quantity of gold in the rock was rather a disappointment to those ac- quainted with that immediate section of the district, as the ore is very simi- lar to that which has been from time to time discovered there in small bodies, and which have proven extra ordinarily rich in gold, sometimes running as high as five or six thou sand dollars to the ton. However, there is no doubt but that the ore body in places will carry rich bodies of gold ore The strike in the Brookshire property has given new life to development south of this camp. At the Decatur there is a happiness prevailing equal to that at the BrOokshire. The Deca- tur group lies along side of the Brook shire on the north, and their workings are the nearest to those of the lucky company. Superintendent Owens is pushing work and will shortly start to cut into and across what is m- doubtedly the same ledge in which the Brookshire has made a strike. The Brookshire strike increases the value of all the property in its neigh borhoOd, and more especially that of the Decatur company.-Jerome News.

H. H. CampbelI's Sudden Death

H. H. Campbell, who came here last spring is dead. His death oc- cured last night some time between 9 and 10 o'clock. While he was a victim of consumption his condition was not considered alarming at all and no change was noticed for the worse. He retired about 9 o'clock and soon afterward dropped off into a sound sleep. About 10 o'clock his trained nurse, who was constantly by his side, went to his bed and dis covered that he was dead.
 Deceased was a citizen of Boston and came to Phenix about a year ago where he spent the winter, living in a tent short distance outside of the city limits. When the weather there commenced to get warm he came to Prescott in the hopes that the climate here might prove beneficial to his health. The change apparently i'm proved him for time, and no doubt added to his life. but the hold of the disease was too strong on his system.
 Mir. Campbell was rpputed to be worth several million dollars. much of which he made in the rise of copper. He leaves wife and two daughters. one about sixteen years of age and the other about five or six. The former is away at school.
