Chicago. July 26.-GeneraI Manager
Aertsen, of the Latrobe Steel and
Coupler works. at AIelrose Park. has
given out statement declaring that
the company had abandoned the effort
to bring the colored laborers to Melrose
Park, and that they viii be sent back
to their homes in Alabama
All day the 300 negroes sat in their
cars in La Grange, % miles from Chi
cago, in fear. A committee of five
citizens of Melrose Park called on
them and used their best endeavors to
induce the men to return to their
home in Alabama. They informed the
colored men of the actual state of
affairs in Melrose Park, where 300
armed men were awaiting the arrival

village. Their statements alarmed the
negroes m ore than ever and finally five
of them stepped off the train and made
sought an interview with Chief of Po-
lice O'Neil, asking protection, which he
could not give, as the trouble was NOT
within the city limits.
After the five men had left the train
to come to Chicago the fears of those
left on the train increased greatly, and
it was with difficulty that the trainmen
managed to keep them from running
off in a panic. Nearly all of the men
declared that they would not go to
Melrose Park, and that if taken there
on the train they would refuse to get
off. At 2 o'clock Marshal Rau, Of the
town Of La Grange, ordered the train
bearing the colored men to move out
of the village. It did 50, and was
placed on siding at Salt Creek, two
miles north of La Grange.
In the meantime attorneys for the
steel company called upon Sheriff Mag
erstadt and asked that the company
be given arnple protection against the
mob violence which was threatened.
They stated positively that the labor
ers would be landed in the shops of
the CON pany whether the sheriff fur
nished any aid or not.
Il have just received a telegram
from Adjutant General Reese. Offering
me the aid of the state militia if
needed it,'' said Sheriff Magerstadt
after his conference with the attor-
neys, but I will not need it. have
sent half a. dozen men to Melrose Park
simply to make a, report to me on the
conditions there If they say that a
mob of 300 armed men are patrolling
the streets, as the officials of the COM
pany inform me, viii swear in a
number of deputies and viii preserve
the peace at all hazards. However, I
am not going TO call upon the militia,
as the county IS capable of preserving
the. peace. whatever happens"
Out at Me1rose Park the armed citi-
zens remained on watch until assured
the negroes were not coming, when
they dispersed.

Votes Him Out Of the Party.

Columbia. S. c.. July 26.-The state
Democratic executive committee has
adopted resolutions ruling Senator Nc
Laurin out of the Democratic party.
The action was totally unexpected
Senator Tillman supported the resolu-
tion. which was offered as a substitute
for a resolution on which there had
been much debate concerning the oath
to be taken by candidates for congress
in the approaching election to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Con-
gressman Stokes, of the Seventh dis
trict The resolution follows:
Whereas, John l. McLaurin, junior
senator, elected to represent the state
of South Carolina in the national con-
gress, has by his affiliations and votes
ignored the national Democratic plat
form and thereby misrepresented his
state and his Dem ocratic constituents
who elected him; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That it is the sense and
conviction of the Democratic state ex-
ecutive committee that Senator Nc
Laurin, from the standpoint of honesty
and self-respect, should tender his un-
qualified resignation Immediately
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 25 to 3

Forsaken by Friends, Bright Young
Man Is Awaiting the End

Leavenworth, July ga federal
prisoner named Rossington is lying at
the point of death, but the officials are
unable to learn anything Of his previ-
Gus history except that superintendent
Philips of the Lexington (Mo) schools
is his friend.
Rossington was convicted in the fed
era1 court at Auskogee, I. T., for max
ing use of the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses He established a general agency
for the Caledonian Insurance company
and then went about the territory to
locate branch Offices and appoint SUBJ
agents. These he had indorse drafts
for small sums until he obtained nearly
a thousand dollars.
The prisoner assumed the name of
Rossington and claimed for a long time
to be the son of Col. Rossington Of To-
peka. the prominent attorney. When
the colonel heard Of this he came to the
prison to interview the young man,
thinking he might be some relative, as
he had no son himself The prisoner
acknowledged practicing deception up
on the officials. but declined to give his
true name.

Since there was no chance to get
these three together, it is likely that
Advance Guard and last years Derby

were stabbed opposite each other al
Washington park and whenever the

stable hands usually tWitted each other

In their three-year-old form Sidney
Lucas gave Advance Guard his trim
