A "cake voting" was held, or rather preparations bad been made to hold one at the home of Lem Person, (eol.,) on Saturday night but the festivities of the evening ware brought suddenly to a closealmost before they had fairly be gun. A lonely bout resulting in a gen eral rough house, and shooting np of the place eaused a wholesale exit from the promises including the host. The particulars of the affair, as told by some of those who were there areabont as follows: It seems that a number of bad "niggers" armed with pistols and ?lean liquor. Who were not invite*, went there to make trouble which they proceeded ? to de ia short order. One of the Backs, whe was jealous of the attention of another fellow to his "July Ann," knocked the lamp elf of the sake table and trouble commenced. ? This so enraged Lem, the man of the house, that he immediately ealled for order, and emphasised the call with his gua,' which was takea away frem him by the rewdies before he could nse it. The* the sheeting eommensed aad every body was ran out of the house. Men and wcaen ran, fell down and erawled anyway to get to a place ef safety, aad the house was cleared se hastily that no on* tu seriously Burt. Une of the women whacalls ber husband "Baby" was cry i nf (or him to come to a plan* of safety, but "Baby had left all and takes to che bushes. Henry Boil, switchman on No. 6, of the lumber line, received a bullet in the head b?t it dida't stick, and Heary is ready for another rally. A mean ' 'nigger" with still meaner whiskey is a michty bad combination at a "cake voting" or any other plaae, and it is unfortunate that the home folks were not prepared t* subdue the crowd at their own frame. The colored people of this community are generally law abiding, honest and respectable, and they conducted their affairs in'a quiet, orderly manner, and none of them, nor the better element of the railroad people participate in such disgraceful affairs as the Saturday sight occurrence only as a protection to themselves. It is said that the cakes and money ware titken sway by the rough shooters, some of tk?' furni ture broken to piecee and a pomber ef bullet holes found is the doo* and other parts of the house aftft tHdbcttte had ended and the grnoke fcttfeed away, SHE:
