RIoToUs SCENES. "A dispatch from
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, says the stu
alton in the Canadian 500, which has
been the scene of serious rioting by the
discharged employees Of the Consolidated
Lake Superior Company, yesterday was
very grave. No reinforcements OF
militia have arr ived from outside, and
the only defense against the mob, which
grows hourly, is more or less democrat
lied police department and small com
pany of militiamen. An assault upon
the office building by the mob early yes
terday afternoon before the arrival on
the ground Of the troops was successful,
and mass of frenzied rioters secured
possession of the ground floor Of the
building, destroying everything movable
that came in their path. A crowd OF
the Office staff with drawn reyolvers,
prevented their getting access to the
upper floors Of the building. Every
window and door in the building Is
smashed in. The arrival of the troops
on the grounds armed with ball car
tridges about o'clock served to restore
some semblance of order. The rioters
then contented themselves with throwing
stones at the building and hurting in
-veclives at the soldiers, who established
"dead line" and prevented any APP
proach toward tn building by any Of the
rioters. The greatest number Of the
mob are of ignorant Italians, Firms,
Norwegians and Frenchmen, the latter,
perhaps, the hardest of all to handle.
All had been drinking more or less.
Late yesterday afternoon the leaders Of
the mob held a conference and demand
ed that the company house the men in
their hotel and clearinghouse and feed
them until the money for their wages is
forthcoming. In order to appease the
crowd this demand was granted, and the
men have taken possession of the White
House, a large clearinghouse operated
BIZ the company. Provisions are being
sent there to feed them.

blocked their way to the carriuge, kiss

groom. The bride felt several tugs at
her veil, which hung to the ground and
was ornamented with smilax, pinks and
roses. After an unusually severe tug
she turned her head and saw venerable
bilygoat, his mouth full of veil and
smilax, and his whiskers wiggling in time
to the rapid mastication. The bride
screamed, gathered up her skirts and
fled into the coach The goat received a
few hard kicks but managed to get away
with a yard Of smilax and another yard
Of bridal veil.

Notorious Desperado Shot.

Mount Olive, Miss, Sept. 29--Hunted from
place to place by officers of the law, whom he
always successfully eluded, and logged by
relatives and friends of nearly fifty murdered
victims bent on taking his life, wild yack"
Sullivan, the most notorious fuedist and des-
perado in Mississippi, is at last beyond the
reach of vengeance. He was found dying on
the public road last night by a boy. Near
him was his pistol, with one chamber empty.
It is claimed by some that Sullivan shot him
self accidentally but the general belief is that
he was shot from ambush.

THEBALKAN SITUATION.

The situation in Sofa is much brighter
and the war clouds appear to have lifted.
The Porte's assurance that the 80 bat
talions recently ordered to proceed from
Monastir to Adrianople will not be
moved has lessened the apprehensions Of
the Bulgarian government. Further
satisfaction is derived from the fact that
NJ. Natohovtch is going to CONSTANT
nople in the capacity of Bulgarian diplo-
matte agent. He conducted the nego-
tiations with the Porte last June, and
after their failure returned to ) fla. The
committee appointed for the purpose at
the time of Sundays demonstration OF
10. 600 Macedonans in Sofia yesterday
afternoon waited on Premier Petrol and
asked him if the government intended to
do anything to help the MacedonIans.
NJ. Petrol replied that the ministry was
acting in what it conceived to be the
best interests OF Bulgaria, and would
continue the same policy. The spokes-
man of the committee told the Premier
that his reply would not be satisfactory
to the people, and the committee there
upon withdrew The Dnevnik, com
menting on the situation, says: cal
though the Bulgarians remain quiet, 1t
is not a true indication Of the national
feelings, but it is owing to the approach
ing elections" The paper adds that 1t
will mot be long before everybody will
try to force the government to take ac-
ton
A dispatch from MOnastir says 1t Is
estimatedthat 80. 900 villagers Of the
vilayet of Monastir are now refugees IN
the mountains, and mostly in terribly
destitute condition. They escaped from
the III villages, which have been wholly
or partially burned by the Turks, which
contained 10. 392 houses, of which 9,6SS

NEGROES MURDERED. - Coroner II.
H. Lewis, of Culpeper, held two inquests
Sunday upon the bodies OF negroes, re-
turning a verdict Of murder in each case.
The first inquest was held over the re-
mains of young negro named John
Baskin. from Chester, 5. c., who was
found dead on the railroad track near
Inlet, a small station two miles north OF
Culpeper. The coroner made careful
examination of the remains and dis
covered marks of violence upon the body
that clearly indicated that the negro had
been murdered. The body had evident
" been placed across the railroad track
to hide the crime Several trains passed
during the night but instead Of the
body being torn and mutilated, the trains
seemed just to have pushed it to one side
of the track, and except that one hand
had been severed from the body, it
showed no further injury from the train.
This man was employed by contractors
on the Southern Railway, and had not
been at Culpeper long. Inc mOtlVe lor
the crime was not ascertained, and no
evidence was procurable that would give
any clew to the murderer. The coroner
was called in the afternoon to hold an
inquest over the remains Of Dave Wash
ington, another South Carolina negro,
who had been employed by Gibbs and
Company, railroad contractors on the
Southern, whose men are located near
Winston, about two and one-half miles
south Of Culpeper. The result OF this
inquest was a verdict that Washington
had been killed in dispute over a game
of craps, and that Will Hamilton, fell
low-laborer, also from South Carolina,
was the murderer. Hamilton, it is al
legged, shot Washington with a large
calibre pistol which was the property Of
the victim. The bullet entered the
negros left breast and tore = gaping
wound, passing almost entirely through
his body.

CHARGED WITH PLANNING RIOT. -
As result of the effort to suppress
violence and prevent attack upon nom
union workmen in the district, Dennis
Nolan, president of the Overs and Mer-
cerizers' Union and William Campbell,
member of the executive board of the
same organization, were arrested in Phil
adelphia yesterday and held in $500 bail
to keep the peace for one year. Both were
charged with melting riot. Evidence was
obtained against the defendants by John
Irwin, jr., a private detective, who was
engaged by the Master Dyers' Associa
ton for that purpose. Disguised as a
workman, Irwin testified he mingled with
the striking dyers at their headquarters,
at Howard and Diamond streets, and
while there overheard the defendants dis
cussing a plan to attack employees of
Bromley's mill He also told the details
of an assault that was to be committed
on the workmen of another mill, and
which was frustrated by the police. The
arrests are but preliminary to crusade
against the lawlessness prevailing in the
vicinity of the dye works and the textile
mills Ex-District Attorney Georges. Gra-
ham has been employed to prosecute the
rioters. Nolan and Campbell were both
held at first for trial, but later the mag
istrate modified his decision.
