RIOT At NEW ORLEANS.
Two Negroes Dsnd. Two Fatally Shot ana
Twelve Men Wounded.
New ORLEANS, July 26.-Two negroes
dead, two fatally shot and twelve men
seriously wounded, is the known result
of a mob's desperate work in this city.
Three Of the wounded are white men
who were hit by stray bullets. Public
feeling here reached its highest tension
and armed mobs are searching various
parts of the city in an effort to appre-
hend Robert Charles, the negro who
shot and killed Police Captain Day and
Patrolman Lamb while resisting arrest
at an early hour Tuesday morning.
A mob composed Of several thousand
persons formed at Lee Circle and
marched out Charles avenue in q body.
It was reported that the mob would
march upon the parish prison and de-
mand the negro, Pierce, who was with
Charles when the police officers were
killed. The police accordingly sent
strong reinforcements to the prison and
when the mob made its appearance its
leaders were told that an effort to Sc
cure the prisoner would be resisted to
the bittor end. Wise counsel prevailed
and the members Of the throng slowly
dispersed. Small bands Of men and
boys were soon formed and scattered to
several parts Of the city. Many negroes
who were on the streets and riding OH
the cars were fired on with more or less
success. Not sin the lynching of the
Italians several years ago has there
been such general excitement.
The mayor has issued proclamation
commanding all good citizens to go to
their homes.

MARY WEIGHS SUIT AGAINST NORA
SIMPSONS ESTATE SETTLED.
The Former Cannot Speak the English
Tongue-IlIegal Dividends
Other Court Cases.

The suit of Mary WEIGH against the es-
tate of Nora A. Simpson on a claim for
$3.50 was settled by agreement in the Cir
cult Court yesterday and the case was
taken from the jury. Nora Simpson was
Mrs. Welch's daughter, and the two jointly
owned the property at 1856 Patterson street,
where they resided. Mrs. Simpson had been
afflicted with spinal disease, leaving her a
hunchback and cripple for life. Charles
Simpson, an employe at Kingan's packing
house, married her, and in the testimony
Mrs. WEIGH said they lived with her for
seven years without paying board. She
stated that Simpson did not pay for the
medical attention his wife received during
that time.
Recently the wife died, leaving an infant.
Soon afterward Simpson, through the
courts, sought to gain possession of his
wife's interest in the property. Mrs. WEIGH
then filed suit for $3.50 for board and care
of her daughter, and said she would bring
proceedings against her son-in-law for his
board during the seven years he lived in
her home
In the settlement Simpson agreed to give
Mrs. WEIGH quit-claim deed for his wife's
agreed to pay $l27.50 funeral expenses for
the wife's burial.
Mrs. WEIGH speaks in the Irish dialect,
and it became necessary to call In Martin
Dugan, who was sworn in as an interpreter
for the court.

conclusion. Another meeting will be held

MIA, 237 in Delaware. eight in the District of

total mileage Of all the roads controlled

Pittsburg and Erie is Apo miles.
The Pennsylvania Company contem-
plates the building of a six-mile track at
Logansport, over which it will send all its
tortuous route which passes through that
city. The construction of this line will
involve the erection of a bridge across the
river which will be a big expense. but the
advantages to be derived from the i'm
provement will, the company believes JUS
tify the expenditure. All passenger and
local freight trains will run through
Logansport.
Despite the recent announcement of
Pennsylvania officials that the surveys for
new line to Buffalo are really undertaken
with a view TO building into that city,
there is growing impression that the
road will never be constructed. This theory
gains strength from the willing publicity
given to the scheme by the railway people,
a policy very unlike the usual methods
of the Pennsylvania When that company
was maneuvering for control of the Ches-
apeake &c Ohio and for an important in
terest in the Baltimore e Ohio, the ut
most secrecy was thrown about the COM
pany's plans, and the reported moves were
even absolutely denied. This Is understood

doubted II the scheme will go much be-
yond that and the preliminary surveys.

Reduction in Rate of Interest.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
announced that the rate Of interest paid
to the depositors in the employees saving
fund will be reduced from 4 per cent. to
31z per cent. the reduction to take effect
on the first of next July. Tie company
states that of the amount In this fund,
s., IS was invested last year in Sc
curities bearing interest at an average rate
of nearly 4 per cent. but that in conse-
quence of the steady decline in the rates
OF interest on first-class securities, the re-
pcsitors has now become necessary. This
step Is similar to that taken by the large
life insurance companies in changing their
reserve held on policies from 311 per cent.
basis to per cent. basis. Very few life
insurance companies still maintain their
reserve on the old per cent. basis, be-
cause OF the gradual decrease in the inter-
est account of their investments.
