TROUBLE AT ASHLAND.
Coroner's Jury's Verdict; the
Troops Still on
Duty.

ASHLAND, VA, September l.-(Spe-
cial).-The coroner's jury in the case of
James Morris (colored). who was shot
and killed in the riot here on Saturday
night, has just given its verdict at 1880
tonight. 1t is as follows:
Ashland, County of Hanover. State of
Virginia, to wit:
"An inquisition. taken at Ashland, coun-
ty of Hanover, the 31st day Of August.
1902 and continued and concluded Sep
tember H. 1902, before Edward L. c. Scott,
Mayor of Ashland and acting coroner of
said corporation, upon review of the body
of James Morris. there lying dead, say:
''The jurors sworn to inquire when,
where, and by what means the said James
Morris came to his death; said jurors, on
their oaths, do say that after having
spent two days in hearing the evidence
of twenty one witnesses, we the jury have
arrived at the conclusion that James Nor
ris came to his death from the effects of
gunshot wounds inflicted by an unknown
person.
'In testimony whereof the said coroner
and jury hereto set their hands.
EDWARD L. c.. SCOTT,
Mayor of Ashland and Acting Coroner:
C. C. BRIDGES, Foreman;
l.. LANE,
BENJAMIN MILNES,
C. w. MACMURDO,
J.. M. STONE,
J. S. RADCLIFFE.
The Jury was composed of the best citi-
zers of Ashland. and the enquiry was
thorough, the evidence taken filling sew
enty pages of typewriter manuscript.
Nothing was learned to indicate who fired
the fatal Shot Nobody could be found
who saw the dead man fall, and it ap-
peared that the firing was so general that
there was no possibility of Identifying
any one shot or of saying from what
direction it came. The medical testimony
was that the man was killed by two buck
shot, which struck him on the right side
Of the head one an inch back of the ear,
the other an inch below. 1t was evident
that he was on his way to his home
which was about thirty-five yards from
the spot where his body was found, or at
ton.
He was buried very quietly this after
noon, there being no demonstration of any
kind.
The town is perfectly quiet tonight.
The company which came up from Rich
uond Sunday afternoon is yet on duty.
Mayor Scott declines to say tonight how
long he will ask to have them kept here
He says he will decide on that mattr
tomorrow afternoon.
The colored people are very reticent, and
refuse to discuss the affair at all or to
express any opinion as to the killing OF
Morris.

Competition Not stifed.

Ihey admit making large shipments or
wheat and other products from and to
the places named in the bill. They deny
that competition between the defendant
companies for traffic between said places
was prior to the organza ton OF the Sc
curities Company any sharper or more
active or more productive of lower rates
for freight or passengers than it has been
at all times since such organization, and
still is, and deny that such rates have
been at any time since the organization
of the Securities Company, or now are,
or will be any higher than if said COM
pany had not been formed.
On the contrary, they say that since the
formation of said company such rates
have already been largely reduced, and
are now, and will continue to be, lower
than those stated in the bill to have been
secured by the sharp and active compe-
ton therein alleged.
Object OF Company.
They admit the organization of the Sc
curities Company, and say that it was or
ganized for the purpose set forth in its
articles. and for no other purpose what
ever. They admit that after the forma-
ton of the Securities Company. and on
November %, 1901 that company did re-
quest of the Great Northern Company to

Mitchell Says He Did Not See Quay
or Penrose ut Atlantic City.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. 1.-Pres-
dent John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, has returned to
this city from Atlantic City. where he
spent yesterday. Mr.. Mitchell denied he
went to th. seashore to see Senator'S
Quay or Penrose, and said he did not see
either of them or any other person on the
question of settling the strike.
While he will not admit it, there is a
wellfounded belief that he saw several
persons on the question of donating funds
for the relief of the striking miners.
