In connection with the recent Maines murder near Knoxville, the Journal of the 3d says, Sellers waived examination and was committed to jail to wait the ac tion of the criminal court. The same course took place in regard to the woman Lizzie Hickman. ; " Search is being made for-one Ike Wright whom Sellers charges with firing the fatal shot. Little credit is to be giv en to any statement made by Sellers un der circumstances in which he would be sure to shift the blame on others if possi ble. He Bays that when it was found that Maines had so much money on his person, it was determined by Sellers and Wright to possess themselves of it, and a plan was laid to get him out of the city to some quiet spot, and the woman .was UBed as a decoy for that purfl ose. The r'.an did not include murder; but Sellers says Wright fired unexpectedly from am bush and killed the victim.. None of the stolen money has . been fOUnd. " ;,. .

PRESS TELEGRAMS- SPE- :' CIAL TO CITIZEN. '' ; .' V 1 THE CRUEI. BUTCHERY of tlic Chinese Miners at : 'ca Roclc Springs. , ; A blot on humanity and a dis ' grace to America. 4 Rook Springs, Wyoming, Sept 4th. . A glance over the battle" ground of Wednesday reveals the fact ' that many of the bullets fired at fleeing Chinamen found their mark lying in the smolder ing embers. .Where the Chinatown stood were found charred and shapeless human remains, sending up a noisome stench that smelled to heaven; "while another which had evidently been dragged from the ashes by .hogs was found. ' In the same brush near by search resulted in Hading teeibodlea 0j.Jve : r,-C--ra. men killed by rifle sbota w4iile fleeing from their pursurers. All were placed in pine coffins and buried yesterday af ternoon, some six or eight others were found seriously wounded, and were" 'car ed for by the railroad officials. The coroner's jury has rendered a verdict to the effect that the dead came to their death at the hands of parties unknown. Reports from along the line of road are to the effect that Chinamen had been arriving at the small stations east and west of here; and they Bay that a large number of fugitives were w ounded by Wednesday's attack; and that many have perished in the hills. It is feared that it will be found that no less than fifty lost their lives, when all the returns are in. This trouble has been brewing for months. The contractors who run mines have been importing Chinamen in large numbers and discharging 'white, men until over six hundred Celestials were in their employ. It is said that mine boss es have favore.1 Chinamen to the detri ment of white men, arid it needed only a spark to kindle the flames. This was furnished by the quarrel between the party of Celestials and whites in the mine over their right to work . in a certain chamber, a fight ensued, and the China men were worsted,' four of them badly wounded, one of whom has since died. The white miners then came out, armed themselves with fire arms, and notified the men in the other three mines to come put. In the meantime all was excite ment in Chinatown. - The flag was hois ted as a warning, and the Chinese work ing in the different parts of the camp fled to their quarters. After dinner the saloons were . closed and no liquor has since been sold. The miners gathered on the front streets, about cne hundred of them armed, with guns, revolvers, hatchets and knives, and proceeded to wards Chinatown ' Before reaching there, they sent over there, warning the Chinamen to leave in an hour. This they agreed to; and started to get, ready to leave. In about half an hour the white men grew impatient and advanced upon the Chinese quarters, shouting and firing their guns into the air.: Without offer ing . resistance the Chinese fled with whatever they could snatch up. They fled to the hills about a mile cast Of the town. The miners firing at them as they fled, the miners then set fire to some of the houses, and soon about ten of the large houses were in flames. Half chok ed with fire and smoke, numbers of Chinamen came rushing from the burn ing - buildings, and with blankets and bed quilts over their; heads to protect themselves from , the rifles. They were followed by the miners into the hills at the top of their speed. . A laundry in town was next visited, and three of the inmates shpt dead. All the employees of the coal department of the railroad were ordered to leave town which they did on the evening train. .During the night all of the Chinese houses in the toVn num bering nearly fifty were burned to tho ground. A number of Chinamen who were hiding, fled from the burning buil dings. It is rumored that Mormon min ers in the camp are to be ordered out, but no action in this direction has yet been taken. The miners here are entir ely unorganized in the crusade, and ' al though a large number 'of them are knights of labor, the movo was' hot made under their direction. : ' ' The mines have . not been working since the riot business is almost entirely suspended and everything is quiet.: : , ; Spaniards taking Possession of the Caroline Isles. , Germany not to Interfere, ; 1-okdon, September 4.
