Strike Situation.

There will probably he a climax
in the strike situation IN The LEGAL
shops today. The union aud the
officials of the Railroad compan,
have both made their ultimatum,
but as we go TO press. representa-
tives OF both sides are in confer
ence.
General Manager Nudge. AS
sistAnt Superintendent of Machin-
cry Lowell and other officials were
here "Wednesday and we're in con
ference with committees of the
lacal vnion all day, but no agree
ment was reached. Mr.. Williams,
third vice president OF the Interna
tionai Association of Machinists,
arrived in town yesterday aud was
IN conference with Mr.. Nudge
and others most OF the day Mr..
Nudge declares that he is willing
to take back all OF the employees
with the exception of hve-the
leading agitstors, and Mr.. vii
lame says that unless all the men
are taken back he will tie up the
entire Santa Fe system.
Several men went to work yes
terday, the Santa Fe having de-
clared its willingness to receive
applications for positions from
former employees As new mer, q
proposition that is acceptable to .
majority Of the men.
IL IS the general opinion that the
walkout vas = great mistake, and
most Of the men Who walked out
admit this fact. They have no
grievance. and most Of them would
be gIsd to retusn to work d il was
not fos the fear OF being stigma
tized ss ''scsb-" There vas no
union laW violated, and most Of
tn. men admit that they have not

something doing today Either
the men will retusn to work, or

RECORD BREAKING
RECEIPTS FOR THE SEASON.
Last Years Figures Surpassed by
Over 4 900 Bales of Cotton.

Last Years Figures Surpassed by
Over 1000 Bales of Cotton.
The record for the season of cotton
receipts was broken in Savannah yes
terday when 1896 bales were receiv-
ed here, against 1887 for the same
day last year.
The receipts at this port have been
crawling up daily, and while predic-
tons that the total receipts up to
Oct. l. would equal those of last year.
despite the late season. will not be
verified, the figures will be very close
together. The total receipts here since
Sept. 1, have been 122. $40 bales against
1882 up to the same time last year.
This is a remarkable showing in the
face of the big slump in the price
of the staple, and the largely increased
receipts for the last few days is taken
as ali indication that the mills have
secured all the cotton they need for
their immediate use, and will buy no
more for the present, in the hope that
the market will go stin lower
The largest receipts of any port for
yesterday were at Galveston, where
Z0,043 bales were received.

GALATIANS MAY GO
TO ST. LOUIS.
II They Go Will Take the Historic
Washington Gums.

IL They Go VIII Take the Historic
Washington Gums.
1t is not improbable that the Chat
ham Artillery will go to ST. Louis next
spring, and camp in the vicinity of the
Worlds Fair. The Savannah Volun-
teer Guards have already decided to go,
and it is probable that one or more
companies of the First Infantry will
attend the Olympic games which will
be held during the great fair.
All of the companies in the city have
received invitations. The invitation to
the Chathams, though received some
time ago, was only read az 1.-THE last
meeting. The matter was then'not taken
up, as the members were unprepared to
make any promises, Since that time
the men have given a great deal of
thought to the question. 1t will prob
ably be decided at the meeting next
Monday night
The sentiment of the men is in favor
of going. In fact, there are fe win the
historic old command who are not anx-
ious to make the trip. 1t would be
made without cost to the company,
since it could be ordered to encamp
near the fair grounds, under the pro-
visions of the Dick bill, as companies
llOliI one Sldl6 may camp III dtlOlIl6I3
and at the same time receive both the
expense money and the pay which will
next year be received by the members
of the National Guard for military serV-
ice.
If the Chathams go to ST. Louis they
will take with them the two big cannon
given them by Gen. George Washington
on the occasion of his visit to Savan-
nah. One of them was captured by the
French from the English in the War
of the Revolution, while both of them
were turned over to the American
forces under Gen. Washington at the
capitulation of Yorktown. These would
be most interesting to visitors at the
fair and the fame of the olr command
would become even more general than
it now is.
At a meeting of the Guards Bat
talon to be held on the second Monday
in October, plans for the trip to the
fair will be made 1t is probable that
each man will promise to save about 50
a month until the date of departure A
similar plan will probably be adopted
by the ChathamS.

AFRAID OF LYNCHING
INMAN JENKINS, COLORED, DRIVEN
MAD BY RACE PROBLEM.
HAD READ TURNER'S SPEECH.
BELIEVED HE WAS GOING TO
MARRY WHITE WOMAN.

Sensation Among Several Hundred
Negroes at Harris street HRIl--Re-
CURED Strength of Half "A Dozen
Men to Hold Him-FOuGht at sta
tiOn House.
Impressed with the belief that he
was about to marry a white woman,
that President Roosevelt and Booker
II. Washington were to figure in the
wedding breakfast, and that this had
aroused the ire of the white who had
determined to lynch him, Inman Jen-
kins, colored, became a raving maniac
in Harris Street Hall last night and
created a sensation among the MEM
bers of colored union that had gath
cred, and in the ranks of the Union
Lincoln Guards, being inspected by
Col. Obear. 1t took a half dozen men
to hold Jenkins until the arrival of the
police.
For some time Jenkins has been in
terested in the race problem and has
read a great deal about the situation
as it is seen by those who have given
it a great deal of thought and study.
The varied opinions, and the logical
conclusions reached by ALL befuddled
jenkins. He believed in social equality
judging from his utterances after he
was placed in custody, and Bishop Tur-
ner's idea that the negroes should move
to Africa did not conform with his
views. The strain was too great for
Jenkins mind and it suddenly gave
way There was several hundred ne
groes in and about the han when the
mans rawlings began.
Il love her, and I'll marry her."
shrieked Jenkins at the top of his voice.
She's white, and I'm black; but she's
mine, and Ill have her. Just look at
all of this Teddy, and you here, too.
Now, Booker, old man, look at what
these white people want to do to me
because / am going to marry the wom-
an l love. But I'll fight them away.
They can't lynch me. I'll marry her
in spite of them"
Immediately several negroes in the
hall seized Jenkins. He fought to free
himself, but was finally overpowered.
A telephone message was sent to police
headquarters, and the patrol wagon,
with Patrolman Collins in charge, made
a flying trip to the hall. After much
difficulty jenkins was placed in the
wagon and cuffed He continued his
rawlings, and at the police station house
it required four stalwart officers to
place him in a cell. The negro had $S1
on his person when searched. He is
held on a charge of lunacy, and war
rant will be sworn out in the Court
of Ordinary for his further detention.
