TOOK SEAT FROM LADY
In New York Surface Car and Was
Almost LYnched.

New York, Sept PA row which
started early today at Second avenue
and Fiftyninth street in quarrel over
a seat in crowded surface car almost
ended in lynching.
Tony Brown was beaten severely by a
mob which chased him from Third ave-
nue. to Second, under the belief that he
had committed murder, Had it not
been for his prompt rescue by a police
man the man might have been beaten
to death.
A woman, who entered the car with
her husband, her brother and another
man, was about to take seat when
Brown made rush to it. The woman's
husband protested. Brown drew an ice
pick and stabbed him through both
hands. Then he attacked the other two
men and plunged the pick into their
bodies.
A panic ensued among the crowd
aboard the car, and when Brown leaped
off, swinging the weapon over his head,
he was followed by several hundred
persons. After running block he was
tripped and jumped upon by the mob,
who trampled him into the cobble-
stones.
Two policemen arrived in the nick of
time. They ordered the mob to desist
but were met with refusal and only sue
ceeded in rescuing Brown by drawing
their revolvers and holding the crowd
in check until a reserve force arrived.

BATTLING NELSON'S VICTORY
II Was Hard-Won Battle, in which
Physical Endurance Triunphed
over scientific skill.

Colma, Cal, Sept. 1i.-Oscar Battling
Nelson, OF Hegeswich, ILL.,, won the
white lightweight championship Of the
world from James Edward Britt in the
eighteenth round Of desperately
tested battle. It was clean knockout,
administered during fierce mix-up in
Britt's corner that resulted in the final
ity. II came so suddenly that 1t was
entirely unexpected me end came
with a swift left drive, followed in a
flash by a right swing to the jaw, which
sent Britt to the ropes. and at the
count of nine he rolled over on his
hands and was unable to rise. Referee
Eddie Graney then awarded the deci-
sion to Nelson.
AS far as Nelson was concerned, it
was slugging match from the opening,
and he won through superior ability to
endure punishment. AT no time during
the fight did Britt's blows stop his ag-
gressiveness, while Britt's efficiency
was seriously impaired on two occasions
during the battle.
Under the final agreement providing
for losers end of the purse-60 and
40 per cent.-Nelson will receive about
$2S, 400 and Britt about $15,6O0. In ad-
dition each will receive $1,000 royalty

Holly Springs, Miss, Sept. II. The

Of Sheriff Poag of Tate county, re
turned verdict Of not guilty this morn
ing. and the three men were released
from custody. They, together with
Vincent, who was released Friday, for
want of evidence to convict him with
the killing of Sheriff Poag, had beeen
in Jail since the day after the killing,
April II. There were in all thirteen
principals arrested, and a change OF
venue being granted these four, who
we're considered the ring-leaders, were
sent to Marshall county for trial, and
are the first that have been tried.
In December, 1904, Jim Whit killed
Buster w. Thomason, in Tate county,
and was tried and sentenced to hang,
but got reversal from the Supreme
Court. Fearing that Buster Thoma-
sons death would not be avenged, a
mob was organized and at 2 o'clock in
the morning of April II attempted to
take Whit out of Jail at Senatobia and
lynch him. All four of these defend
ants have admitted this on the stand.

cessfully, but was mortally wounded,
by whom it has not appeared, and died
next morning. AT the trial here the

From Danger.

Baku, Caucasia, cept. S.The situa-

could hardly be worse. The terror
stricken inhabitants are fleeing from
the city, knowing that the garrison Is
utterly inadequate to protect them;
and although the worst scenes of fire
and massacre have not yet occurred in
Baku itself, none dare think how far
the excess may proceed.
The entire oil and commercial quar-
ters of Balakhan, Sabunto and Nomani
have been wiped out by fire, and the
inhabitants remaining behind were
massacred and thrown onto the flames.
Biblebat continues to burn, and is
threatened with the same fate as Balak-
han.
The consulates, banks and admins
Ttration buildings in Baku are guarded
by troops. All of the English resi-
dents and almost all of the better
classes have boarded to sea to escape
from danger. All available steamers
have been employed for this purpose.
A whole army of hungry workmen,
driven in from the burned suburbs, has
1locked into the city. There is the
greatest destitution, and measures for
transporting the workmen from the city
are imperatively necessary.

CARTER'S UNlQE GRAFT.
How He Worked the South Through
Postal Appointments.

Washington, Sept. u.-In these days
when the pessinist would have us be-
lieve that graft is universal, it has re-
mained for Southern negro, VIM. G.
Carter, to devise method Of getting
money which is admittedly unique.
Carter will be remembered as the man
who figured in sensational newspaper
dispatches as having been restrained
from accepting an appointment as clerk
in the postoffice at Greenwood, Miss,
through threats of mob violence.
Carter's alleged intimidation was
brought to the attention Of the Civil
Service Commission through a letter
from Carter, written on July l5, short-
ly after the affair at Greenwood, Miss.
On receipt of this letter an Inspector
was detailed to investigate the whole
matter of alleged intimidation of col
ored eligibles by white patrons of
Southern postoffices, especially the Ya-
zoo City and Greenwood cases. The re-
port of this Inspector, which has just
been transmitted to the Civil Service
COMMISSION says IN part.
SIT appears that this colcred profess
sor Carter is engaged as teacher In
the public schools of Mississippi during
the school term; he gets on different
eligible lists at Offices where he knows
colored clerks will be objected to by
white patrons, and when he is certified
and nominated for appointment he APP
pears on the scene and tells the white
patrons that he has no desire to force
himself upon them; that he came under
the misapprehension that he was 10 be
carrier and was totally misled as to
the nature of the duties he was to be
assigned to; that he was at great tlnan-
cial loss in coming to accept the posi-
tion, but would not insist, and would
return home, but would thank them for
as much financial aid as they could be-
stow on him.
''All this appeals to the white man,
and at Yazoo City Carter obtained
neat sum, and, according to Grey's adj
mission on cross-examination, Carter's
only object in getting on the eligible
list was that he might sell out and seek
new pastures. From Yazoo City Prof.
Carter went to Greenwood, Miss, and
took the examination, and went from
there to Pine Bluff, Ark.
81 am not advised as to whether
or not he took the examination,
but while in that city he was notified
of his nomination to a clerkship at
Greenwood, Miss, which he hastened
to accept in the capacity of substitute.
He reached Greenwood, told his usual
tale of having come under a misappre-
hension, and by his plausible manner
and desire not to thrust himself on the
white patrons of the Office, worked his
graft successfully in the home town of
the Governor of Mississippi. The sum
obtained at Yazoo City is said to be be-
tween $5 and $3.50. When the Professor
reached Greenwood the market had de-
clined many points and ten-dollar con-
tribution was all he got at Greenwood" l."
The Civil Service Commission desire
that hereafter applicants be examined
for carrier positions only, and thus
avoid future occurrences like those at
Yazoo City, Greenwood and other
Southern towns.

TRICKED INTO AFRICA.
Party of Americans Have Horrible
Time in the Jungles.

Mobile, Ala, Sept. William Hill
burn, former resident of this city,
arrived here yesterday after three ad-
venturous years spent in the wilds of
Africa, with sixteen others, in response
to glowing offers by agents of con-
struction company, building the Cape
and Cairo railroad. Hilburn is the
only one of the sixteen to return alive.
Hilburn and his fifteen companions ac-
cepted terms to work upon the railroad
as engineers and trestle builders, They
left Pensacola, Fla, on Aug. %, 1902,
under promise of big wages and other
flattering inducements. The party en-
barked for the Zambesi river district,
north of the Transvaal, where the Cape
to Cairo railroad was under construc-
tion.
In due time they arrived. At this
time Hilburn states their hardships be-
gan. What was expected to be scene
of activity and wealth turned out to be

that a secret treaty has been made be-
tween the czar of Russia and the en-
peror of Japan, despite the usual diplo-
matte denials. The kaiser advised the
czar to make the secret treaty when
they met on their yachts in the Baltic
sea. The Intermediates in the negoti-
ations were the Japanese minister at
London and the German ambassador at
st. Petersburg. King Edward helped
the making of the treaty.

the czar, not the empire shall pay
$500,000000 indemnity to Japan in five

will pay Japan for her care and main
tenance of Russian prisoners of war, as
provided in the treaty of Portsmouth.
The compact was made without the

there was no show of clash.
In Kansas City, Kas., it is said the
negroes will test the case in the courts.
The Kansas Legislature last winter
passed an act separating the races
in the Kansas City schools, direct re-
suit of agitation following the murder
of white boy by a negro pupil.
At Bonner Springs the School Board
arranged separate rooms for the whites
and the negroes, but to this the negroes
objected, protesting that they should
occupy rooms simultaneously with the
white children. At Bonner Springs
the negro children were accompanied to
school by their parents.
