TUMULT IN CHURCH.
Many Injured in the Conflict Be-
tween Men and Women-Po-
lice Interfere.

Joliet, H., May 3.-Women and
men today fought hand to hand with
each other and then fought hand in
hand against the police in the Sla-
yonic Roman Catholic church. The
trouble was started by several women
as the collectors were circulating
through the church. There were
1000 men, women and children in
the church when the fight began, in
spite of all the protests of Father Kol-
lar and others, the church members
fought with fists and pieces of furni-
ture, knocking each other right and
left. Some one ran from the church
and called on the police for help.
In few minutes partol wagon
full of policemen drove up to the
church, and the patrolmen entered the
edifice, which was filled with whacks,
thumps, din and tumult Bloody
noses and lacerated faces were unan-
imous. The men had been penned in
by Gordon of angry women, who
pelted the stronger sex with clenched
hands and books.
By the time the police arrived some
of the combatants had fed to the
street AS the policemen entered the
church those on the outside returned
to the fight, armed with clubs, stones
and revo1vers. Thsoe within left
off fighting with each other and
unitedly beset the police. Those
from without fired in to the patrolmen
from the rear.
Woman and children cried out in
terror, and many men ran from the
church or leaped out of windows.

UPON THY SHRINE.

Thine eyes?
Thine eyes are like twin lakes
That sleep 'twixt mountain peaks,
Where shadows dense and deep
Life slum berous e'er and still.
Thy brow above, get crescent wise
Between the parted strands
Of thy soft hair,
Is pearl that lies
Half hid in golden sand.
Thy lips?
All me, what bee that dips
And slanting, soaring, sips
The sweets of honeyed bowers
But would forsake, for flowers
Whose petals curled and kissed
As do thy lips?
And these, thy hands?
So pink of palm, so fine,
So rosaete finger-tiped-?
What gift divine
Gould buy, were they but mine?
| From crownlng crest
And topmost curl of gold
To tiny toes that peep
From out thy garments fold
Thou art perfection, cut
And set in beauty's mold.
And /. thy worshipper, am blest
!, And bettered by the love thus told
And laid upon thy shrine.

Deputy Scott pleaded that the law be
allowed to deal with the murderers,
but the leaders of the mob were OBJ
durate and gave the officers their
choice of fsurrendering their prisoners
or sacrificing their own lives in q
useless resistance. There was no
choice for the officers, and after a
final protest the mob closed in, took
the two blacks and disappeared in a
nearby thicket.
The bodies were found swinging to

HUNDREDS AWAIT
BELL TOMORROW.
Four Hundred White Pupils
Enrolled.
OPENING OF AMERlcUs SCHOOL
Viii Be Under the Brightest Auspices.
Supt Mathis Enrolled An Additional
Hundred Pupils Yesterday - The
Prospect is Pleasing.

Four hundred pupils, books IN hand,
will await tomorrow morning 'h3 ring
lag of jllege bells as a signal to
start back to work in the sohoolroom.
These are all white pupils, though the
registration of negro pupils, is quite
large we'll.
Supt. Mathis says she emo lment is
fully up to the average for opening
day, and that the outlook for lal ger
attendance is bright.
Another hundred pupils registered
yesterday at Furlow School.
This gives total enrolment of about
400 white pupils, Supt. Mathis says.
The re gistration of colored pupils is
progressing rapidly, though there is
always light attendance at the open
ing, due to the fact that many negro
children are at work at this time.
The bells will ring at o'clock to-
morrow morning, and at $3.50 the doors
of the three public school buildings
Will be opened for the fall term.
Judge Little john will pass upon that
writ mandamus tomorrow.
This, as is well known, is asked by
s. M. Gordy to the end of compelling
the admission of his children into the
schools without the prepayment of
the book rental fee. It affects only
his own children, Whatever may be the
action OF the court as regards the Pc
tition.
No other child in Americus is affect
ed by this decision as, in the event of
refusal of petition the Gordy children
must pay the book-rental fee; If grant
ed, they are alone benefited thereby.
If granted, however, other lndivId.
uaI cases would quickly follow among
those opposing the rental plan.
In the meanwhile. the hundreds of
pupils already registered have paid the
rental fee and will begin study tomor-
row. Many parents, Supt. Mathis
said yesterday, when they came to
enter their children were agreeabiy
surprised at the very small sum they
had to pay.
However, the entire matter will soon
be settled, the Times Recorder hopes
to the satisfaction and benefit of all.

here is now behind the bars 10 answer
for bloody crime.
The capture of johnson by negro
detective in st. Louis. and Chief Fes-
gins trip to the Western metropolis to
bring him back, has already been told
in the Tines Recorder.
Il was Chief Feagin who learned
that Johnson was in st. Louis.
The negro wrote letter to friend
here, and Billy Feagin saw that letter.
johnson even gave his street address,
and the negro detective sent to catch
him had little difficulty in landing Led
better's slayer among seven hundred
other birds.
Chief Feagin called upon Coy.
Dockery and was accorded every cour-
tesy, tbs Governor directing that the
Americas man be shown over the Mis-
souri, state penitentiary.
There he saw hundreds of "zebras"
busily engaged at work.
From the state capital he went back
to st. Louis. In the prison there seven
hundred criminals were marched out
that the officer might identify johnson
This Chief Feagin did, picking out his
man from this great horde without any
hesitation.
Tuesday night, with the negro man
acled, he started for Georgia.
To show the character Of the suegro
he found Chief Fesgin's wallet, which
slipped from his pocket, and snatching
his return ticket from the book he tore
it into atoms.
Luckily the conductor witnessed the
affair, and passed Chief Feagin on the
bits recovered.
johnson shot Jim Ledbetter at ne
gro ball here last June and ran away.
Chief Feagin finally traced him to st.
Louis, and when Johnson wrote let
ter a friend in Americus Chief Feagln
secured all the information he needed.
Johnson, he says, is bad negro.
He was working at slaughter house
in st. Louis and making good wages,
but couldn't stand prosperity.

In Americus, as throughout this sec.

line are resping a reward in the high
prices of all commodities. Il has in

look for business at the opening of the
season was better than it is at the pres.
emit moment. This city and section
have experienced several successive
seasons of good trade, and as a result
have enjoyed reasonable degree of
prosperity. Money has become more
plentiful than it used to be and people
are generally more prosperous and dis
posed to be more enterprising. The
new season has opened up with prices
for all our leading staples reasonably
high, and with every prospect that
good crops, sold at satisfactory prices,
as now seems practically assured, will
add to the prosperity of the masses.
