Sherman's home. nearly two les away. bore a large American flag. Japanese lanterns with incan- descent lights in them were suspend ed in double rows all along Genesee street. A large trlumphal arch hal been erected over the bridge which spans the Erie canal. and the fronts of the buildings and business blocks were a mass of color. The electric display was brilliant, strings of lights being used on the buildings and across the street. Many of the mills and business places closed during the day. and the affair proved grand holiday in honor of Mir. Sherman.

ARMED NEGROES
 DEFY WHITE MEN.
A Violent Race War In Ten
 neSSee.

Knoxville. Tenn, Aug. 1S.-Negroes are being driven out of two mining districts near JellIco by an armed band of white miners and mountain eers. Three hundred negroes-men. women and children-haye fled in ter TOT into Jellico and other towns.
 A band of seventy-one negroes took refuge in a company house in Antras. several miles from Jellico. and. armed to the teeth. are bidding defiance to miners and mountaineers estimated at from 200 10 4O0 in number who have surrounded the place and gre threaten ing to kill and burn them and the en- tire camp.
 The band of whites. heavily armed quietly collected all the negroes at r. Kings Mountain mine. near the Te. neSsee line. and drove them like sheep all day in the direction of Jellico. The negroes travelled eighteen miles. At night the whites permitted the women and children to camp and eat what they could collect but forced the men to move on

SULTAN AzIz
 MURDERS 2,5oo.
Inhunan Moroccan Ruler Dr.
 ders War Prisoners Shot.

Tangier, Aug. 1s.-Reports just re- ccived from the army of Abdul Aziz, the sultan of record, says 2,500 prison CTS captured in the recent engagement with the forces of Mulai Haf1d. the pretender. were massacred by his troops as the most convenient" way of dlsposing of them.
 The helpless prisoners were lined up before cannon and moved down.
 Several foreign officers who are fight ing with the sultan protested strongly against such a barbaric course. but Abdul himself. 1t is said. ordered their death in retaliation for the losses his army sustained in the early stages of the battle.
 The battle. which will undoubtedly terminate the war in the sultan's fa- vor. was fought near Marrakesh, and it was at first reported as a sweeping victory for the pretender. Such 1t would have been had not heavy body of re-enforcements come to the sultan's aid after his army had been put to route.
 The arrival of re-enforcements was unexpected. and the tide of battle turn ed wholly against Mulal. Abdul Aziz reports that 800 of the pretender's forces were killed and 5.20O wounded and so much booty taken 1t was neces- safy to sell it for little or nothing be- fore the army could move.

 CTS Caught.
 Springfield. H., Aug. Ex-Governor Deneen has issued six proclamations, one for each violent death during the riot. offering large money rewards for evidence which would lead to the con victlon of the guilty persons.
 William Bowe, chief clerk at the county treasurers office. is dying at St. Johns hospital from wounds received in the deadly race rioting The states attorney is taking a deathbed state ment.
 c. ". Scott, who was shot in the lungs. is dead at the hospital, making the total list of dead seven.
 Altogether some fifty or more cases will be brought before the jury. and if the expectations of the states attorney are fulfilled several hitherto respected citizens will find themselves called upon to face serious charges in the criminal court
 Confidence h Grand Jury.
 The grand jury has already won the confidence of the state and county au- thcrities by its action
 It is stated that many citizens known to have important testimony regarding the mob and its leaders have been de tered from offering this 10 the states attorney because of threats of violence made against them anonymously.
 The riot could scarcely have been prevented. and real disgrace will come only if the guilty are allowed to es- cape" is the opinion of the authorities. So the civic bodies are asked to urge all good citizens to reveal freely what ever of testimony they may possess. Only sheer weight of evidence Is Ike ly to break through the local prejudice and assure convictions. according to the police.
 The gathering Of evidence has begun in earnest. Policemen in plain clothes were sent 10 search the houses of pris- ouers and suspects. and as a result the police station looks like a general store Groceries. hardware. clothing. dry goods and shoes were recovered In great quantities. most Of them bearing the price tags of the footed business houses.

 Roy Young, twenty-two years old. one of the prisoners taken. has con fessed to starting a number of fires. the police say. A search of his rooms revealed quantity of new overalls. shoes. boys shirts and other articles of apparel.
