Boiler Explodes.

Bay City, Mich, February 1O.-S1x
men were instantly killed and a num-
Der of others seriouly, if not fatally
injured when the boiler in Princing's
sawmill at Crump exploded to-day,
wrecking the mill and scattering the
debris 100 feet in every direction. The
accident is believed to have been
caused by forcing cold water into the
boiler when the water was low, caus-
ing excess of steam.
The accident happened during the
noon hour while the men were in the
boiler room of the mill warming
themselves and waiting for the whis-
tie to blow to start the second half
of the days work.
Two Of the dead men, William Cop
persmith and Oscar Shoup, were mar
ried. The others killed are Ward
Amidon, George Dewitt, Chris John
son and John Flood.

Shoots Blind Tiger.

Manning, Feb. 12.-Henry Spring,
colored, a porter at the Central hotel
at Pinewood, was probably fatally
wounded at an early hour this morn
ing while resisting arrest on charge
of unlawfully selling liquor. The
shooting was done by Special Deputy
R. F. DuBose, who had been sent by
Sheriff Gamble to make the arrest.
When told by the deputy to consider
himself under arrest, Springs asked
"What for?" and started to back
away. He then drew pistol and
commenced to run, firing twice at the
officer and swapping the pistol three
times more. BY this time Mr.. Du-
Bose, who is a one-armed man, got
out his pistol and fired twice, the first
shot striking Springs in the right
arm, disabling it, and the second en-
tering the body in the small of the
back near the spinal column. The
wounded man was put on the Orange
burg-Florence train and brought to
the Jail in Manning, arriving here In
such a state of shock that an opera
ton was not deemed advisable. The
deputy was not struck by either Of
the shots fired by the negro.

GAY LOTHARIO SKIPS.
Sad Romance Revealed in Colored
Society Of St. Matthews.

St. Matthews, Feb. 10.-A romance
in the higher circles of colored So
eiety, which would charm dime
novelist has come to light here. 1t
appears that the gay Lothario, of a
kue, where "tawdry yellow strove
with dirty red dropped into town
about ten days ago. He claimed to
be a doctor of Philadelphia, that he
was on his way to Tuskegee to make
an address, and was going from
place to place through the benighted
South, uplifting his race" His
pedal extremities had barely hit the
fertile soil of this favored bailiwick,
when a pretty and petite little teacher
In the colored graded school fell vio-
lently in love with the learned medi-
60 Of "The City of Brotherly Love" )"
He, too, avowed that his heart, hith-
erto as impervious as the hide of a
rhinoceros, was now as susceptible
to her charms as the gentle tones
OF the cooling dove are to its mate.
It is needless to add that the court
ship proceeded at a 2.40 gait, and
long before the studious parson Of
the brides church had sought his
coach for pleasant dreams, his ser
vices were requested to tie the nup-
tial knot. Avowing early the follow
ing morning that St. Matthews was
too small a place for a man of his
colossal Importance, he would hike
out" for the city, allow her to ar
range her school affairs, and he would
either return or write for her in a
day or two. Claiming that his pock-
ct funds had surprisingly run short,
he asked 1.-The girl Of his heart" for
q ''lift,'' and she freely invaded her
neat little pile, salted down for a
rainy day, and sent him on his way
rejoicing. Time rolled on, and the
innocent little Dido stood bravely and
trustingly upon the wild sea banks
waving her love to come again to
Carthage" but all in vain. The
truth finally dawned that she was
buncoed, and applied again for her
position in the school, where she has
taught SO long and 80 well. A good,
old colored 'mauma" sized up the
situation by soliloquizing: He up
liftin de race, indeed. He uplift de
seventy-five dollars of dat girl, and
oughter be killed"

Charged With Horse Stealing.

Orangeburg, Feb. 9.-F. D. Wynd-
ham, who hired horse and buggy
from julius H. Albrecht, local liv-
eryman, last Friday and Is alleged to
have sold it to Otto Rhame at Holly
Hill, has been arrested in Augusta
and brought to this city. He was
arrested in Augusta, while he was
buying railroad tickets for Savannah
for himself and two women who we're
with him.
Wyndham denies having been in
Orangeburg, and declares that he
traded his own team with a stranger
he met on the road last Friday, the
strangers team being the Albrecht
outfit and that Wyndham took the
team on to Holly Hill, where he sold
it to Mr.. Rhame. '.
Wyndham is identified by the negro
keeper at the stables, and Mayor
Dukes states that he saw this man In
town Friday morning. Mr.. Albrecht
has secured his team, and he with
Mr.. Rhame will prosecute Wyndham.
A preliminary hearing was held be-
fore Judge Brunson of the magistrate
court and Wyndham was bound over
to the court of general sessions. He

RACE CLASH IN TENNESSEE.
Three Negroes Killed in Pitched Bat
tie With White Men.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. Sin a
pitched battle between the whites and
negroes at Hales Bar, about twenty
miles south of Chattanooga early
this morning, three negroes were shot
to death. They are Leo Sloan, la
borer, Daddy" Baker, a preacher,
and ring leader of the black rioters,
and one unidentified.
Forty determined, though un-
armed, white men, prevented an at
tack of two hundred armed negroes
last night, until reinforcements and
munitions of war could reach them,
and this morning, with the first dawn
of day, led by Capt. Will Burk, of the
Chattanooga police department, an
advance was made on the negro set
tlement. Not since the hostile armies
of the sixties pelted each other with
shot has such a scene been enacted
in the Tennessee River Valley.
All night long the handful of white
laborers, "bluffed' off an attack of
the two hundred armed negroes.
There was no time before the arrival
of the squad of police with riot guns
and cartridges loaded with buckshot
that the negroes could not have cap
tured the white camp. But they did
not know it.
With the break of dawn the first
shot was fired. A fusillade followed,
and the crack of rifles did not cease
until the negro camp had been va
Gated and every weapon that could
be located in a negro's hand or house
had been seized. The negroes man
aged to make away with most Of their
weapons, but the police and others
captured quite number.
Bad feeling has been brewing for
some time between the white and
black employees of the lock and dam
contractors, and an assault upon one
of the negro laborers by number
of white men yesterday, coupled with
a liberal distribution of bad whiskey
and guns among the negroes, brought
the trouble to climax.
Tonight there was comparative
quiet at the dam, but as matter Of
precaution the Chattanooga police de-
partment was again petitioned to
send some men to the scene. In view
of a possibly serious menace to hu-
man life, and to property, and Of the
fact that the place was without ade-
quate protection, force of seven
men was sent down tonight.
There is little likelihood Of further
outbreak. However, the white work
men fear the negroes may return
under cover of darkness and attack
them while they sleep.
