of a report that a mob of negroes is
marching toward this town with the in
tention of attacking the county jail and
releasing two negro murderers, one of
whom, Luke Sanders, is to hang tomor-
row, citizen soldiery is being organized

thrown out on every road leading into
the town, and If the mob appears a seri-
.ous conflict is feared. Early in the
night leading citizens held a conference,
and it was decied not to ask the Cover
nor for aid as they believed it the duty
of the people to protect law and order.
When the reports were first received
little credence was placed in them. Sew
eral hours later couriers reported that
real danger existed and the citizens
posse was Immediately organized.
Luke Sanders and John Sanders, the
prisoners, are charged with the murder
of Road Overseer Mullen, committed sew
eral months ago. Luke Sanders was sem
fenced to hang and the Supreme court
refused a new hearing, but recommend
ed Communication of sentence by the Gov
ernor. The matter was referred to the
State pardoning board and on their rec
ommendation he refused to interfere with
the lower courts sentence. When news
of this action reached Marian, the ne
groes of Perry county were incensed and
decided to organize and release both men,

Mad Dog in Raleigh.

There have come reports from many
sections of the State concerning mad
dogs and their victims, and Raleigh as
had a case in the city.
Several days ago the little pet dog of
Mr. M. l.. Haynes. who resides on the
corner of Polk and Elm streets, acted
queerly. Nothing was thought of it, but
on Tuesday the dog, known as "Blackie''
went mad, and running into the street
began swapping at everything in sight,
several people escaping by narrow
margin.
The mad dog bit three other dogs and
also sank his teeth into the leg Of a
mule that was passing by. Mr.. Haynes
had to shoot the dog. 1t is feared that
the dogs and the mule bitten will be at
tackled with the rabies.

But the pleasant part was that the

Cotton Mill Insurance.

Mr.. James r. Young, Insurance Com
missioner, returned yesterday morning
from Charlotte, where he attended the
meeting of mill owners and corporation
men there on Tuesday, held for the pur-
pose of organizing mutual insurance
company for the benefit of the manufac-
turing interests.
Speaking of the reasons for the organi-
cation of the Southern Manufacturing
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Mr.
Young said:
''The cotton mills of the State have
been heretofore largely insured by New
England Mutual Companies, which are
owned and operated largely by cotton mill
proprietors at the North. These COM
panies cannot do business legally in this
State, because they refuse to comply with
our law and pay our taxes. The cotton
mill people have been restless for long
time about taking this insurance, and
they have now determined to have a COM
pany of their own, and to take only such
insurance as will comply with the laws
of the State. About cne-half of the lar
gest and strongest mills in the State are
in this company. They will write policies
under the laws of our State, and make
them concurrent with stock or mutual
companies that comply with the laws of
the State, but they will not give any of
their Insurance to any company that will
not comply with the laws of the State.

settlement of the differences between

tionary forces, which began Monday
morning and resulted in the retirement
of President Castro to La Victoria
Tuesday afternoon, was resumed again
fercely at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. At that time the president had
received reinforcements and had over
5000 men engaged against 1000 revo-
lutipnists. The artillery played a
part never before seen in Venezuela.
Shortly before o'clock Wednesday
afternoon the revolutionists appeared
to have gained a slight advantage.
The presidents artillery, which num-
bered fifteen guns, had been reduced
to four guns. La Victoria was crowded
with wounded and there were no pro
visions in the town.
The British cruiser Indefatigable has
left La Guayra for Tucacas with pro
visions for the foreign residents there
some of whom are said to be dying of
hunger as a result of the concentration
measures adopted by the Venezuelan
authorities. The Indefatigable, to &C
complish her mission, will have to run
the. blockade of Tucacas.
The German cruiser Vineta has also
left La Guayra and it is regarded as
probable that she is also bound for
Tueacas.

nounced.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE in
formation from Washington that both
parties to the cc.-trOversy in the an
thracite coal strike had reached an
agreement TO arbitrate and that the
great conflict is about to close was re-
ceived throughout the entire hard coal
region with the greatest satisfaction.
The news did not become generally
known until morning and it created
considerable excitement in the mining
towns.
The strikers as a rule, however, fol.
lowing the example of their leader, are
not disposed to prematurely celebrate
the outcome of the long struggle
Their reward for the fight they made is
yet to come in the findings of the arbi-
tration commission, assuming that the
miners officially endorse the agree
ment Mr.. Mitchell made.
There seems to be little doubt that
the joint meeting of the executive
boards Of the three anthracite dis
tricts will call a convention of the min
eTs to consider the arbitration propo-
sition and have the men return to
work. There is a belief that a general
resumption of coal mining will be had
by Monday. The district presidents
who are now on the ground do not
share in this belief and some of them
are opposed to pushing matters. A
convention could not be held before
Saturday and they feel that one day is
not enough to organize the body and
permit of a full discussion of a PROPOSE
tion that is of the greatest Importance
