TROUBLE IN WILMINGTON.
Entered at the Postofice of Alexandria, Vir-
ginia. as seeond-class matter.l

While quelling an outbreak of turbu-
lent negroes in Wilmington, Del, last
night, fomeuted by the lynching OF the
negro White, two policemen aud
negro were shot, but not seriously.
Sergeant Eugene McDermott and
Patrolman Francis Green were the
policemen. They received flesh wounds
about the face, and James A. Mercer,
colored, scalp wound from revolver
bullet.
In another quarrel between few
white and colored mer at midnight
William Kramer, colored, was shot in
the stomach and probably fatally wound
ed by one unknown white man, who es-
capped.
Two hundred negroes, carrying clubs.
marched along Ninth street and knocked
down a white man and boy in front OF
the postoffice. Later the disorderly
crowd returned to Ninth and Walnut,
and squad of 20 policemen was sent to
disperse them. Many white men con-
grepated in the vicinity out Of curiosity,
and one of them at King street was
stabbed by negro. Then the negroes
began TO shoot reyolyers, crying "Lets
clean the cornerl" Some OF the white
men retaIiated until Sergeant McDer-
mott and few policeman arrived.
McDermott saw Leander Moore, colored,
with revolver and started for him.
Moore fred at McDermott, but the
bullet struck Patrolnan Greene on
the cheek. McDermott g rappled with
Moore, who was clubbed into submis-
sion. A stray bullet struck McDermolt
on the forehead
PatroIman Greene, although wounded,
served Joseph S. Shockley, another ne
gro. with a revolver. Moore and Shock
ley were taken to the police station and
are charged with melting to riot, After
the arrests the policemen blocked off the
street and also dispersed the main body
of negroes, two blocks away. Five COWS
on the Ferris School Farm, over which
DIR. E. A. Bishop, father of the murder
ed girl, has supervision, were found
poisoned yesterday, and there are fears
that the barns and other buildings may
be burned by sympathizers of the negro,
White. DR.. Bishop yesterday returned
from Wrightstown, N. j., where he took
his wife, who is suffering with nervous
prostratiou. Referring to the fact that
White, the negro, previously had a
criminal record of four and half years
in Pennsylvania penitentiary, DIR.
Bishop made this caustic statement: II
notice that a Philadelphia newspaper
holds up its hands in horror and says
that such a deed as this would not
have happened in Pennsylvania. They
should remember that if White had re-
ceiyed the same treatment in Pennsyl-
vania for his first offense Of this kind as
he would have received under the Della
ware law, he would never have lived 10
commit the second offense."

FIGHT IN NORTH CAROLINA Noun
TAINs.-A fight occurred yesterday on
top of Quaker Gap Mountain, Stokes
county, n. c., and Cap King was killed,
it is alleged, by John Rhodes, and one
or two other persons were seriously
wounded. Deputy Sheriff Smith was
knocked down with a hoe by Russell
Jones. Rhodes was arrested and COM
mitted to Jail. The trouble was the re-
suit of an old feud between neighbors,
and yesterdays fight was participated in
by several persons on each side. Many
shots were fired.
While the shooting was in progress a
party of young people returning from
Wade Mecum Springs heard the shots
and stopped. One old man who was
participating in the fight saw the crowd
and he called to his associates "Boys,
stop shooting until those young ladies
and gentleman pass" The battle then
ceased.

THE CASE OF TURNER.

The trial OF Turner, the ITALIA
poosa county, Alabama, farmer de-
velops the fact that he violated the
State law in the detention and mis-
treatment OF the negroes In his pos
session, and the law Of State stands
unimpeached by the Federal court.
1t is very questionable II Turner
could have been convicted by the
court for the charge against him.
His case had been tried and submit
ted to jury who were divided-six
for conviction and six for acquittal.
The case was continued and Tur-
ner afterwards appeared and
pleaded guilty as to the unlaw-
full detention of the negro, but
denied the cruelty charged. 1t is
quite likely that politics had some
thing to do with the matter, but be
that as it may, it will be seen that
the condemnation OF the law and the
apologies made for the State OF Ala
bama were premature.

Whereas, the Democratic party atNor-

Delegates do within the next 20 days
send in to the Chairman OF this commit

conduct OF a primary for the above pur-
pose, and further to arrange plans Tor
the nomination OF county officers, the re-
OF the party in the county

FOR A VIRGINIA BUILDING.

At the recent meeting OF the Vir-
ginia Press Association at Ocean
View the move to have a Virginia
building at the st. Louis Exposition
was given great impetus and the
unanimity with which the plan was
approved by the press representa-
tives augurs well for its success. 1t
is a fact not generally known that
Mr.. Joseph Bryan, Of Richmond,
owner of the Times Dispatch, than
whom there is no more public spirited
citizen In the State, has contributed
one thousand dollars towards the
fund OF ten thousand necessary to
complete the building. 1t is needless
to say that Mr.. Bryan's example
should be followed by others in this
State and no matter what the size OF
your contribution it will be accept
able and appreciated. 1t is mat
Ter Of paramount Importance to
every business man In Virginia that
the State be creditably advertised at
St. Louis and this cannot be done
unless there be erected some building
which the Commonwealth can call
her own. The Legislature has done
all possible in appropriating fifty
thousand dollars for the exhibit IT.
self and it now rests with the people
OF this State to show their loyalty by
raising the amount needed for the
Virginia building. 1t might be a
good idea, and we make the sugges-
ton to the Exposition Commission,
that a communication be sent to the
Board Of Trade or Business Men s
Association Of each city in the State
asking these associations to cooper
ate in raising funds and at the same
time to contribute whatever can be
spared from their respective treasu-
ries. We feel sure that in this way
a large amount OF money can be
raised. In the meantime let us all
determine On helping the Commits
sion to the extent OF our abilities in
its laudable effort to have Virginia
building.

Richmond has concluded that the
strike has reached that point when
she is able to cope with 1t and has
sent the troops home. We have no
doubt but that with the home mill
tary and the police force iudiciously
managed, she will be able to control
the situation. She has won laurels in
the trying ordeal through which she
