A MISSISSIPPI RIOT
ARMED NEGROES INVADE TOWN OF
CLEVELAND.
DRIVEN OFF WITH LOSS.
TROUBLE GREW OUT OF LYNCHING
OF PHILLIPS.

The situation Somewhat Similar 10
That in Louisiana When Young
Foster Was kiIled-The Negroes
Organized Into Lodges and the
killing of Reed "A studied Scheme
on Their Part-Whites Are Now
ganizatiOns.
Cleveland, Miss. July PA band of
armed negroes, none of whom was
known, rode into Cleveland at 1870
o'clock this morning and stopped a
party of three white men on the main
street. The negroes made a threaten
ing demonstration. Being called upon
to identify themselves they answered
by bringing their rifles into play. One
of the negroes was quickly killed by
the white men, another was wounded
and is reported to have been found this
morning on the outskirts of town, and
the others escaped, although it is sup
posed that more than three were hurt
They were all armed with Winchester
rifles and were well mounted
Excitement was at fever heat during
the remainder of the night, squads of
armed men patrolling the streets until
daylight.
The trouble grew out of the lynching
of Jesse Phillips, a negro, in the ear
lier part of the night. The negroes in
this section are organized into
lodges" secret orders" and 'protec-
tive societies." and as Phillips was a
leader among them it was feared that
an attempt would be made to avenge
his death.
The fact has developed that the kill
ing of young Reed. the planter, a few
days ago, was a studied scheme on the
part of the negroes.
The excitement of last night has en-
tirely abated. 1t has been decided that
the breaking up of these negro organ
izations is necessary and there is no
doubt that this decision will be en-
forced. The town is more quiet than
is usually the case, even on Sunday.

party organization and know how to
lead as we'll as how to follow when the
occasion requires it,
Some of the most astute politicians
are of the opinion that with Senator
Hill at the head of the ticket, and
strong Southern man as a running
mate, the Democrats would have an
excellent chance of defeating Senator
Fairbanks, Senator Spooner, Vice
President Roosevelt. Governor O'dell
or any ticket the Republicans could
put into the field.
Mr.. Hill is a firm believer in party
organization and party discipline, and
should he receive sufficient encourage
ment from the party leaders, he would
probably begin at once practical or
ganization of the party lines, and wage
an offensive rather than a defensive
campaign.

Indianapolis, July 21.-While ten
thousand people were crowded under
the trees at Fairview park tonight a
riot broke out between the "Bunga-
loos," a local crowd of white boys. and
some negro boys. The whites chased
the colored boys into the main pavilion
and when the officers of the park pro-
tected them the Bungaloos fired sew
eral shots and stoned and dubbed the
crowd. The officers were powerless for
two hours and telephoned to the Gov
ernor for a company of militia. Fail
ing to get the Governor, fifteen police
men were asked for and sent out.
Charles Daniels. bystander, was shot
through the neck and may die. Two
other young men were badly beaten
with clubs and dozen or more women

stones.

white boys living in the western part

his statement that the first grass crop

because they are doing their reaping
and farm work in the fields at night.
in order to rid themselves Of the irri-
tating insects.
The little pests are known as bald
headed flies" They breed In the field
and prey upon all kinds of stock and
dogs. The insects prove great source
OF trouble from the middle OF June
until fall.
They are much in appearance like
the common fly. except that they are
not so black, and their wings do not
lie along their backs. but run out at
more of an angle The flies play havoc
with the stock. They will gather on
the side Of the animal In a place where
he cannot reach them with either head
or tail, and there hold on and suck the
blood. A patch OF flies as large as n
mans hand on the side of a horse Is
not uncommon. In his torture a poor
animal will begin 10 kick and will make
bee line for the bushes, carrying
man and moving machine behind him.

Tennessee and Alabama Mines Make
Fine Showing for Half Year.
Birmingham. Ala, July 21.-A sum-
mary on monthly reports, made by the
Southern Iron Committee, shows that
for the first six months of the year
the shipments of pig iron from Ala
bama and Tennessee aggregated $780,
9O3 tons, an increase over the same
period of last year of 1885 tons.
Pig iron shipments during the same
period from the Birmingham district
were 420,S79 tons, a decrease of 5,937
tons.
Exports of pig iron were 1894 tons,
a decrease from last year of 1855
tons. The falling off in export ship
ments is accounted for in the splendid
state of the domestic market the last
part of last year and the first part
of this year when Alabama furnaces
booked orders for domestic consump-
ton which have carried them to this
time and will carry them for two
months to come.

Another Rumor That This System Is

Trying TO reach That Port.
Charleston, S. c., July 21.-Rumors to
the effect that the Louisville and Nash
Vile system is seeking an entrance in
to Charleston are again current here.
The report this time has it that the
Louisville and Nashville will lease the
Augusta division of the Southern's line
out of here. This is a spur of track
from Branchville, S. c., to Augusta,
distance of seventy-four miles.
Efforts to obtain a confirmation of
the report from officials of both COM
panies have been so far fruitless. The
Louisville and Nashville some years
ago made strenuous efforts to gain
entrance to Charleston, but recently it
has taken no steps whatever in this
direction. 1t owns valuable terminals
here and 1t is believed that it will
sooner or later control it's own or
leased line to this port. but it is doubt
full if there is much foundation for the
rumor given above
