A DEADLY RACE WAR.
Kew Orleans, Sept 1. This morning
between 2 and 3 o clock an excursion
train loaded with colored people arrived
at Gouldshoro from Baton Rouge. A
large number of colored people were at
the depot, waiting tor it. As the tram
neured the depot one of the excursion
ists, in jumpingoff, fell. Some unknown
person shouted, ",'ook at the black !"
The negro drew a pistol and fired four or
uve shots in rapid succession, one of
which struck a white man named Wil
liam Miller.
Then the shooting became general,
some 400 or 500 shot9 being bred inside
of fifteen minutes. This account of the
affair is given by the police force of
urelaa.
A terrible panic ensued, women and
children running in all directions, shout
ing and screaming. Lerv, colored, liv
ing in Algiers, was shot in the left arm.
and a colored woman named Fleming
was fatally sh it.
About 4 o'clock this morning a light
was seen in the sky, between Algiers and
Jeuersoti pansues. The Algiers lire de
paitraent went to the scene, and found a
large number of men armed with musk
ets, and a negro church on fire. There
whs no water at baud, and the edifice was

person, w ho hred through the window.
He was seriously wounded.
THE GREAT LONDON STRIKE.
Chicago, Sept. 1. The Chicago Trades
Asseinl ly to-day adopted resolutions de
claring that the wonderful rapidity with
which the great strike in London spread
from the duck laborers to other occupa
tions in nowise connected therewith, and
the active interest, sympathy and co
operation of the great masses of the peo
ple in that citv, together with the ten
dered and active help of workers in the
industrial centres of Great Brilian,
Europe, America and Australia, create in
the mmas und hearts one common and
vital - interest that makes practical and
very irolmble a simultaneous uprising cf
great niatses ot angry workers, as will
seriously endanger the existing social and
industrial institutions, and emphasizes
the inimediat necessity fcr the employing
class to concede such reasonable reforms
as will remove the possibility ot the ev
olution that threatens such terrible results
to life and property.
It is estimated that loU,000 persons
took part in the demonstration at Hyde
park. Durng the progress ot ti'e meet
ing Burns and others passed through the
crowd and took up a collection lor the
benefit of the strikers. - Money was re
ceived in hats and open parasols, and a
large sum was obtained. An American
gentleman who was present gave a hand
some donation.
miss Huntington's marriage. .
London, Spt. 1. Since the arrival
ere of C. P. Huntington, interest in the
outcome of the engagement between Miss
Huntington and Pnnce Hatzfcldt has
been revived. People who know Hunt
ington best don't believe he will consent
to the marriage. One London society
paper claims to know that Huntington
cabled his consent before leaving New
York and agreed to settle $0,000,000 on
the bride. Close friends of Miss Hunt
ington in best position to judge decline
to talk about the matter. Princa Hatz-
eldl is described as having red hair and
bow-legs, but exceedingly fascinating
manners; is a brilliant conversationalist
and has the refutation in London draw-
rig rooms ot being something ol a wit.
THE GOGEBIC STAGE ROBBER.
Marquette, Mich., Sept. 1. Holzhay,
the Gogebic ttge robber was taken South
y the (JogL-ljic sheriff on the tiain this
afternoon. The prisoner was defiant, and
his demeanor showed him to be ready lor
any desperate deed. It is expected that
if he is not very closely guarded be will
make a determined attempt to escape.
The only rtgiet Holzhay expresses in
connection with all his criminal career is
that the two officers at Republic effected
bis capture so easily. He says be was
determined not to be taken alive, and had
he had the slightest inkling of their pur
pose when they were approaching him he
would have shot both down unhesitating-
ARRIVAL OF THE MININE AT VICTORIA.
Victoria, B. C, Sept. 2 The sealing
choouer Minnie, owned by Capt. Jcob
en, who is also master of the .vessel.
arrived from Behring sea this morning.
The ilimnie asalready reported, was cap
tured in ibe sea by ibe Hush on the loth
of July. Lieutenant Tuttle went on
board and confiscated 450 seal skins,
which had been secured, as well as the
arms and spears of the Indian hunters.
The, vessel at this time was 60 miles
southeast of Ounacka Pass. Charles
SviDson, quartermaster of the Rush, was
placed on board as a "prize crew," ana
Captain Jacobsen ordered to sail for Sit
ka.' As soon, however, as the cutter was
out of sight, the Minnie sailed eastward,
and falling in with seals, new spears were
made and 500 seals and nine sea-otters
were taken. Before leaving. Lieutenant
Tuttle. at the request of Captain Jacob-
sen, returned two or me conuscatea
spears, to enable the Indians to catch
seals for food, and these also came in for
service in the final hunt.
The "prize crew" protested strongly
asainst the action of the Minnie captain
in carrying oa business while he was on
board, but of course no attention was
paid to him. The Indians wanted the
captain either to tl.rcw him overboard or
put h:m ashore on an is:aua.
Captaio Jacobseu says if lie nau been
left alone be could easily have secured
2000 skins, but under the circumstances
is very giad to get ofl as be did.
. ANOTHER SCHOONER ARRrVES.
Port Townsend, W. T , Sept. 2-Tuc
Indian sailing schooner Lottie, belonging
to Makah Indians, arrived from Behring
sea with 640 seal skins. The vessel is
commanded by Capt. Montandcn, with
an Indian crew, and reports passing the
revenue cutter Rush during a heavy fog
at night. On Angust 2d the Lottie hailed
an open boat with two white seamen and
one Japanese, belonging to the sealing
schooner Ariel. When the men came
aboard a rifle was discharged, killing the
Japanese. No news coucemiog the late
seizures was received.
HELD A CLOSE PRISONER.
CniCAGO, Sept. 2 L. Dougherty told
an associated press reporter to dav that
on August 10th he rece.ved a letter from
his brother, Edward C. Dougherty, dated
at z.ai ut:ia, Ecuador, stating tnat he had
been held a close prisoner since Juue
15th.
Mr. Dougherty went to Ecuador seven
teen years ago, and hs been engaged in
various enterprises ot that countrv. He
married a iiiece of the president of Ecu-
auor in lbio, and bits recently been tu
gaged in gold mining, llie letter gave
no reason lor tne imprisonment, but re
ferred to correspondence enelosed, vhich
had been hauded United States Consu

Kansas City. Sept. 2 Judge Boland,
of the police court, to-dny Handed down
his decision of the test case made by the
saloon men ot the validity of the penalty
clause ot the ounciay law.

unconstitutional, and dismissed the cases
of fifteen saloon men.
The city attorney will appeal.

A HORRIBLE FATE.
Louisville. Sept. 2. A Courier Jour
nal special from Somerset, Ky., says:
William Oates, prominent and wealthy
farmer residing a lew miles lrom Monti-
cello, left home on business with bis wife
and left two young daughters in charge
of the house.
Oates had in his employ a negro boy
nearly grown. Knowing that the older
people were away, he eutered the house.
and after locking the doors upon the two
young girls succeeded in ravishing the
youogest, aged 12. The other girl es
caped from the room, and going to uAt
neighbor s house gave the alarm. U
A posse was immediately organized
and started iu pursuit. Hu was caught
in the woods and tied to a stake. A raVl
pen was then built arouud him, coal oil
was poured over him and upon the rails.
A match was then applied, and the negro
was burned to death.
Hoodoos.
A Chicago lawyer'has explained to a
Chicago court that a hoodoo is something
which pursues a man with misfortune,
much in the manner that a wheelbarrow
makes its haunting presence known for a
weary while to the unloilunate person
wno has stumbled over it in the dark.
This is not a bappy illustration. To
stumble over a wheelbarrow is doubt'ess,
perplexing, painful, maddening. But
there is nothing weird, uncanny, or bale
ful about such an experience. It is sim
ply a piece of plain unvarnished misfor
tune, which can be explained by the laws
of gravity. On the one hand, a hoodoo is
something which shatters natural laws in
order to work harm.
A man who has been hoodooed finds
that nil the forces of nature are in active
conspiracy against him. If he goes out
to borrow money his pocket will "be
picked and none of his friends will lend
him a cent. If he goes on a journey the
railroad train wiil run off the track. If
he rides on a cable car he will get stuck
in the tuunel. In a word, he is hoodooed.
Some people would call the outward
manifestations of a hoodoo mere bad luck.
But the adept in hoodoos can observe an
important distinction between the two.
The spell of the hoodoo must be broken
by an incantation, while bad luck will
simply wear itself out. There are two
excellent .preventives for hoodoos. One
is to get a mascot and the other is to
decline to be a hoodoo.

Baker Democrat: The examination of J.

That the least suspicion of his connection

Should there be sufficient iron and other
track material on hand, and a reasonable
force of men kept to work steadily, the road
can be placed in good running order clear
to the summit before the season compels a
cessation of labor. An ordinary track lay
ing oang will put down a mile to a mile and
a quarter a day, and two years ago this
kind of work was doie until the middle of

and to get to the front the material for an
extension of 35 or 40 miles.

The Bulgarian Ilonk.
Tliia morning a reporter of the Times
Mountaineer called upon the Bulgarian
Monk, Rev. A. N. Experidon and found
him an educated and intelligent man. For
what reason be was incarcerated he did not
know, and could give us do information.
He was born in Jerusalem, of Bulgarian
parents, and is a member of the Scalavonio
race. He speaks thirty-two languages, and
is graduated from Oxford. During the
travels of cert lin Americans in Palestine,
among whom were Mark Twain and Dr.
Gibson, he acted as guide and interpreter.
He is a gentleman of most plsasing address
and affable manners. His dress is after the
Turkish costume, but be preaches the doo ,
tine of love to all and universal brother-
hool. In the authenticity aud inspiration
of the Old and Now Testament he believes
implicitly, aud claims to bo a member of
tho Old Brotherhood of Christians, or what
is culled iu Russia "Staliro Brats." Mr.
Experidon has preached in oearl v every
county iu America, and claims his niuuirn
to bo to convert preacher aud priest. In
New Mexico he was threatened to be
hanged, but tbe soldiers protected him, and
in other places he has suffered persecution.
List night after preaching, tbe box which
be was using as a platform was taken from
under him, and ho says ho waa followed to
Ins camp by booting hoodlumswho attempt
ed by every means to insult him; "but,"
using his own language, "we must exercise
Christian charity. Ot the American gov
eminent he has the highest regard, and lias
received courtesies from our most influen
tial citizens, among whom he mentions the
Dames of President Harrison, ' Secretary
Blaine, and formerly Vice President Colfax,
now deceased. All tho rights he wants are
those guaranteed by our constitution, "free
dom ot speech." The question he rienirei
answered is: If one is prutectoJ in hu
right or is the mob to ru'e? He was
afraid last night that he would be lynched
and was glad tha officer took him nnder
protection. We are sorry that this out
burst ot hoodlumism took place; sorry for
the reputation ot tr-e city, and sorry tor-trie
young men or boys who lead it, and
hope it will never occur again. China
men, Turk, Bulgarian, Greek or African
haye equal rights under our constitution,

"Soapy" Smith, the gambler who re
cently gained some unenviable notoriety by
assaulting the editor of a Denver paper,
was a passenger on to-day's west-bound
train, aud had a row at Poeatelio with a
switchman whom he had assaulted aud
robbed some time ago. The switchman
caught sight of Smith on the platform, and
a quarrel ensued. Smith then entered the
car and sat down, while the switchman
went in search of a gun. He finally re
turned with a pistol and began firing at
Smith through tbe car window. Smith also
drawing a weapon and returning the com
pliment with interest. Eleven shots were
exchanged in all, but neither of the princi
pals was injured; only an innocent by
stander got a shot in the leg.
Sympathy is all on the side of tbe switch
man, as ''Soapy" is known to be a shady
and desperate character and the latter only
was arrested and placed in jail. Poeatelio
is considerably excited over the affair. .
The platform was crowded with passen
gers when the shooting commenced, among
whom wero women and children, and the
fact that none were killed by the promis
cuous interchange of bullets, is considered
almost miraculous Graphic accounts of
the row were related by several ot the pas
