NEGROES THREATEN
TO USE DYNAMITE

Springfield. March 12.-One OF the
newspapers last night received large
batch OF letters from negroes saying
that the negroes were not towards and
that they would bet even IL it took
twenty-five years.
One writer declared that the negroes
would blow up several buildings with
dynamite after the soldiers left. II is
believed that the authorities will have
difficulty in preventing a race riot un-
less the leading negroes give their as
sistance.
The feeling against the negroes has
spread TO the school children. AT re-
cess this afternoon In the Shaner street
school the boys took a negro pupil.
put rope around his neck and pulled
him about the yard.

than for several days past l have been
suffering from an liberated throat and
the bottle which the Senator from
Wyoming loosely took from my pocket
contained some boracic acid with which |
have been gargling my throat. The Senator
learned by smelling the contents that 1t
was only boracic acid. Had | known
that he would take the bottle from my
pocket, l might, perhaps, had had in 1t
for him something stronger and then,
perhaps, after so smelling it he would
not have returned the bottle to my
pocket"
Mr.. Tillman carried the matter of in
a iaunty way, but it was evident that he
had felt deeply Inundated. The gall
leries applauded family as if in apology
to him for any injustice that might have
been done. Mr.. Warren seemed now to
realize for the first time that he had been
guilty of an unprecedented breach Of
propriety, and he rose to apologize.
Senator Platt, ofConnectcut, seeing him
about 10 speak, arose and LETT the room
Mr. Allisons face was a study, while
Messrs Hoar and Hale showed what
they thought by the looks they turned
on the Senator from Wyoming.
His 6rst few words could hardly be

to find'a friendly glance of pardon, but

Fishing Figures.

From figures given US we Aud that
there are 247 fish traps in Nor;humber-
land county waters. There are l76 in
the bay which a license OF SO is paid on
each year. The Other II are located
in the Potomac, which owing to the fact
that they are in disputed waters no Ii
cense is collected on them. There is on
an average three men employed on each
trap, which would make total OF al
men employed in the business. If the
Jordan bill was passed without an
amendment to protect them they would
be thrown out of employment This
number is for Northumberland alone
and does not include those dependent
upon the oyster industry tor their liyeli-
hood-Reedvile Era.
