Louisville, Ky, July 6.-Advices from
Evansville, say q serious clash oc-
Cured between the militia and the
mob about 10 o'clock, tonight, the mob
routing the militia. All kinds of ru-
mors are afloat, but the most persis-
tent are to the effect that two women
and two children We're killed and sew
eral others wounded. The mob con-
trolls the city and their intent seems to
be to burn Baptist Town, the negro
settlement. The situation is critical.
Evansville, Ind, July Grace preju-
dice between blacks and whites
brought on a reign of terror here, Sun
day, which has not ended. Gun stores
were broken open and weapons and
ammunition were seized by blacks and
whites. The county Jail is partly
wrecked, an angry mob of 2400 whites
having broken into it to hunt for a
black victim, the wall being forced
with a battering ram, negro dives
were ransacked and shot to pieces in
the search for the blacks and an armed
company of drilled blacks marched
through the streets threatening the
lives of all whites. The Governor Or
dered out troops to protect property
and quell the disturbance but they
have not vet arrived.
At daylight, Monday morning, 300
armed white men started for the pow
der magazine near the city to secure
explosives with which they declare
they will blow up the entire negro
colony of Baptist Town, a suburb of
the city.
The trouble which has been brewing
for months came to crisis, Friday,
when Lee Brown, n negro, shot and
killed Patrolman Massey, who was try
ing to arrest him while bent on the
murder of man with whom he had
quarreled. Threats of vengeance were
followed by the surrounding of the Jail
The negro was secretly moved from

and, Sunday morning, the crowd re-
fusing to credit the statements of the
officials that the negro was not in the

In numbers.
twenty-five policemen were mobi-
lied to force an entrance after the gates
were crushed in. A telephone pole was
used as a battering ram and the Jail
windows gave way. A committee was
appointed to search for the negro, but
its report that he was not there was
not believed and after forcing breach
the mob poured into the corridors.
Finding. its victim gone, there was
cry of kill the negroes and arms were
demanded. A company of armed ne
groes, aroused by the race troubles,
marched through the streets, shouting

lynched. This started a rush for the
gun stores by the whites. Three were
broken open and 40 rifles and revolt

From this time on throughout the
night there were thousands Of bullets
lying through the air.
One negro woman is known to be

Laughlin Bros, O firm of horse
dealers located at Columbus,
Ohio, shipped to Highmore what
they claimed to be the largest
and best PercLeron stallion in the
United States. The animal APP
peared to be all that was claim-
ed for it, and perhaps it was in
fact. The agent OF the firm, one
Thompson, proposed to sell this
horse to a stock company Of
twenty or more stockmen OF S5,-
900, agreeing TO insure the ami
NAL tor a term of years. The
plan looked feasible and the
price of $3.50 did not seem exor-
bitant to those who were engaged
in horseralsing ona considerable
scale. Thus agent started out to
secure a list of twenty or more
stockmen, each one OF whom
would be acceptable to the
others, so that the company
could be formed and the animal
taken off his hands. He APP
preached different ones and rep
resented that he wanted only to
secure d list Of names, that tie
horse was at HighmOre and that
If. upon examination, they did
not want TO go into the deal,
| they could take their names off
the list. In this manner he Sc
cured the twenty names. The
first time some OF the parties
visited the town they looked at
the horse and concluded they did
not want to invest so much
money in the animal offered, and
so notified the agent. Mr.. agent
calmly informed each one of the
parties that they had already
bought a share i'm the horse.
The parties die not believe it,
but Mr.. agent produced a men,
Orandum book with their names
written on page at the top of
which was a contract in small
PRINT. 1t was a snap game pure
and simple. The contract hound
each one to sign joint note;
some offered to pay cash for a
share and thus be relieved from
the note, but this would not be
accepted unless the full IS, 900
was put up in cash. Thinking
that they were in for it, nine of
the twenty signed the note, and
eleven refused. The note was
then sent to the firm and they
commenced suit in the U.S S. court
against the eleven. The eleven
engaged the services of Horner
X Stewart of Pierre to fight the
case. One of the eleven pretend
ed to, or actually did, back
water on the fight and agree TO
sign the note, but when the note
was sent to the bank his sand re-
turned and he refused to sign.
The Others heard of the note IN
possession of the bank, and Sc
cured an Injunction compelling
that institution TO hold the note
till after the trial of the case,

signatures was fraudulent, il the

suit to our readers as soon as

In Memoriam.

In the death of so estimable a lady as
was Miss Lily Byers, there is loss to
the community in which She moved
and acted that finds no compensation
but in the sweet and pleasant offices re-
membe and the unsefsh kindness
and courtesy which was shown on every
occasion towards all. She truly seemed
to live for others, and the Christian
graces were as a lovely crown 10 her
beautiful life. 1t is departed worth
which the grave hides when we say Of
such They are dead. ," And we
miss them out Of our life as a thrill Of
lonely sadness reacts upon us, and we
find them not in their wonted places.
ITO live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die"
So we shall not say, "She is dead ~
Only the portal, Of the unseen land
Were opened. and she passed within
A welcome from the waiting angel band
And surceaSe from lite's pain and tears and san.
Ours IS the weeping. that she is no more
Beside Us in her sweet and loving presence
Ours is the loss We could not feel. before
We missed II in her smile and warm attendance.
Life ever has its varying sheen and shade.
Its tears and Joy. The parting. and the pang
OF severed ties its minor chords have made,
And dirgcs from creatures birth were sang
Our mortal eyes behold but present good,
And evil which conironts our pathway here
We find despair IN every changing mood
How blest the faith which makes our vision clear.
We would not call them back 70 earth again,
Who've passed through gates aJar' 70 brighter
shore.
Zen though our farewells az sad refrain,
CO singing IN hearts for evermore.
And now beyond the dark and swelling tide
OF LIES unrest and vanishing delight
Wen meet our loved ones. and for aye abide
Nor death. nor tears shall dim our waking sight

Memorial Day In shepherdstown.

Last Saturday was observed as
Confederate memorial day in Shop
herdstown, and the attendance was
larger than usual on such occasions.
The town was filed with an interested
and orderly throng of persons who
had gathered to pay their tribute OF
love and respect to the Southern
soldiers who sleep in Elmwood Gene
terry, and the exercises were in keep
ing with the solemnity and dignity Of
the occasion. At 2 o'clock the pro-
cession was formed in front of Shep-
herd College by Captain N. j. Bill
myer, the officer in command. The
Shepherd.town Band took the lead,
and was followed by the Shepherds
town Fire Department. Then came
the Shepherd College Cadet Corps,
Captain J. G. Knutti; the uniformed
Sons Of Confederate Veterans, Captain
Robert T. Banks commanding, and
the Confederate Veterans. At the
cemetery the usual ceremonies were
held at the monument by the Veter-
ans and the Daughters Of the Con-
tederacy. The crowd then adjourned
TO the lodge house, where the address
was delivered After prayer by Rev.
J. C. Thrasher, Capt. NJ ]. Billmyer,
in an earnest and eloquent little
speech, introduced the speaker Of the
day, General Thomas T. Munford, of
Lynchburg, Va. The General made
a beautiful and appropriate address.
He paid hi. tribute to the gallant
soldiers of Virginia and the loyal and
devoted women who sent their sons
and husbands to the war, and then
gave graphic description of the
famous Valley campaign, bringing to
the minds Of the old soldiers the
string scenes and memorable battles
Of those days. He was listened to
With great interest. Music by the
choir and band added to the pro-
gramme, and the benedlcton was
pronounced by Rev. DR.. H. G. Hath
cox. The Shepherd College cadets
fred salute over the graves of the
dead, and the exercises concluded.
The presence Of General Muuford
was great satisfaction to the old
veterans of this section many Of
whom served under him throughout
the war. As commander of the fam
Gus First Brigade of Cavalry, he
proved himself gallant soldier and
true gentleman, and had the respect
and admiration Of his men. He saw
many of his old comrades here and
greeted them most cordially. He had
not been IN Shepherlstown since the
war. 1t was pleasure to many of
our people to meet him.

County Court Proceedings.

From the Charles Town Advocate
we take the following additional pro-
ceediDgs of the County Court OF JEFF
ferson county, in session Last week:
Turnkpike Commissioner James Il.
Hendricks was ordered to take charge
of the Harper's Ferry and Smithheid
turnpike, the suggestion being made
that the collection Of toll on the road
had been discontinued.
In the matter of a county levy, an
increase of two centsper 800 of val
uation was made. This will make the
levy for county purposes ~ cents per
800. The increase was found neces-
sary on account of the turnpikes,
hitherto supported by tolls, being
thrown on to the county treasury.
The district levy for public roads was
as follows: Charles Town district %
cents; Middleway district 10 cents /;
Kabletown district 20 cents Har-
per's Ferry district 20 cents Shep-
herdstown district % cents.
Sheriff J. D. Billmyer's report Of the
county and district finances was a
concise and business like document,
showing the amounts collected for coun-
ty and public road purposes with dis
bursements for the same. The total
amount of county funds collected dur
ing the fiscal year ending May l, IN
Guiding the $9,l659l paid by the
securities of the late Sheriff Baker,
was $42,O7748. During the same
period there was paid out $25, ASS. SO,
leaving a balance in the sheriff's
hands at the end of the fiscal year
of $I6,6I8.59.
From the dog tax the county de-
rived a revenue Of 81, 463.lO, and
from this $81I49 was paid to tax
payers who had sustained losses of
sheep by dogs during the year.
There was collected for road improve
ment in Charles Town district s., 444.-
