Special to the News and Observer. Newbern, N. C., Aug. 5. Many of the delegates to the seventh annual tournament of the State Fire men’s Convention arrived on the after noon trains, and already the City of Elms is opening its hospitable doors to the men who fight the tire fiend. Over 500 firemen and city officials from all over the State will be here, aad this will be a gala week long to be remem bered by the people of Newbern. Many of the horses and much of the apparatus to be used in the contests also arrived yesterday. The representatives from the Greensboro, Winston, Salis bury, Durham and Fayetteville compa nies, and some from Virginia, arrived to day. The others are expected to morrow, at 4 p. m. The Goldsboro, Kinston and Raleigh firemen are ex pected down Tuesday night. The recep tion committee of the Newbern Depart ment meet the visitors at the trains and -escort them to their headquarters. The convention will be called to order in the court house tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock by President James D. Mc- Neill, of Fayetteville. After the’convention is called to order prayer will be offered by the Rev. C. G. Yarded. Then the address of welcome, by Wm. W. Clark, Esq , and the privi lege of the city by Mayor William Ellis will be extended, followed by responses. The annual parade will form Wednes day morning at 9 o’clock, in front of Firemen’s headquarters. This parade will no doubt eclipse any ever formed in the city in length and beauty, and is expected to surpass any firemen’s parade ever formed m the State. The steamer contest will come off immediately after the parade is dis missed. The quick steaming and distance throwing contests will take place at the foot of Broad street, if the tide is con sidered high enough. The hose reel races (hand and horse) will take place on the macadamized road, near the fair grounds. If there be any foot races, bag races, they will also take {dace there. The place for the hook and adder contests has not been decided upon yet. The Atlantic and Newbern steam fire companies will not enter their steamers for either the quick steaming or long dis tance throwing. The Newbern Steam Fire Engine Company will enter the hose race only. The Atlantic will enter all of the hose reel races, hand and horse. The reel team of the Atlantic company will enter three races, the 150 yard race, the grab race and the 300 yard race for “Championship belt.” The following eommitte from the two companies have been appointed to offi ciate during the week: Reception Committee:—W. D. Bar rington, H. W. Simpson, F. B. Lane, George Dail, W. T. McCarthy, M. W. Nash, Geo. D. Roberts, A. H. Bangert. Committee on Parade:—L. J. Taylor, G. J. MeSorley, W. D. Barrington, F. B. Lane, J.

Dr. J. W. Griffith, of Winston, Secre tary of the State Firemen’s Association, has beat the record this year in prepar ing attractions and inducements for the annual tournament. Heretofore the grab races have been a side issue, for the reason that inducements were not strong enough. This year the prize is some thing worth working for. A solid gold badge, donated by a New York Gerta percba Rubber Company, and valued at fi f ty dollars. It is the shape of a Maltese Cross, with a place for engraving the name of the winner. He also has a gold badge for the hook and ladder race, offered by a New' York Company, and a fine lantern to the foreman of the com pany having the best uniformed men. Present indications are that the tourna ment this year will eclipse all previous efforts. The following is the list of prizes: 1 Quick steaming, first prize, SIOO, in which no steamer of Newbern depart ment will enter. 2. Quick steaming, second prize, $25. 3.

Wichita, Kan., Aug. s— Dick Yeager, alias Zip Wyatt, the most daring des perado in the Indian Territory, has been captured near Sheridan, Oklahoma Ter ritory. The last sensational crime of Wyatt's gang was the robbing of the Rock Islaud train near Dover, the shooting of Messenger Jones and the looting of the passenger coaches. After that robbery the au thorities began a merciless pursuit of the gang. Three of Wyatt’s pals, Tulsa Jack, Bill Doolan and Ike Black, were killed and a dozen of the gang captured. Wyatt, the only one left, was on his way from the Glass Mountains when the offi cers engaged him yesterday. They ran him across the Rock Island track, near Waukomis, in a cornfield, which they surrounded. The officers played a waiting game. Thirst finally made Wyatt desperate and he came boldly out from his cover. He emptied his Winchester at the posse, which was headed by Marshall Smith, of South Enid. The fire was returned. Smith’s men aimed to cripple Yeager and soon his left arm fell by his side, so that he could not use his gun. The outlaw then drew his pistols and advanced step by step toward the men who been hunting him. They backed slowly away, just enough to keep out of range of his pis tols, and at the same time keeping near enough to use their rifles. Wyatt soon fell with a bullet in his hip, but he continued to drag himself toward the officers, shooting as he crawled. Another bullet in the shoulder finally disabled him, and the posse gathered in on him and overpowered him. Wyatt was taken to the King Fisher jail, where surgeons were brought in to dress his wounds. They say he will live. Last night the crippled outlaw was taken to the Garfield county jail. This breaks up the last gang of bandits in Oklahoma. One of Wyatt’s recent crimes was the killing of a Bap tist minister who protested when Wyatt made him give up a horse which he was riding. MADMAN ATTACKS DURRANT. The Seventh Juror for Ilis Trial Was Secared Yesterday. San Francisco, Cala., Aug. s.—The first attempt to do violence to Theodore Darrant, on trial for the murder of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel church, since his inc irceration, was made to-day as the defendant was leaving the court room. The prisoner was in the custody of the chief jailer when a wild looking man rushed from the crowd towards Du rant with the evident intention of assault ing him. The jailer threw him off before he could reach Durrant, and the assailant tried to draw a pistol. He was seized by two deputy sheriffs before he could aim his weapon. It is believed he is in sane. The seventh juror to try Durrant was secured at the morning session of the court in the person of H. K. Smythe, a farmer. RELIGIOUS FANATICS IN IOWA.

They claim to have had a divine presentment that the world will come to an end within ten days.

AUGUST 6. 1895. FOR THE WORD’S SAKE TEN BRITISH MISSIONARIES WERE KILLED BY THE CHINESE. THE AMERICANS ARE ALL SAFE. It is Believed That the Missions Were Burned and Many Native Con verts Killed—The Bloody Outbreak Was Urged on by Prominent Offi cials—Secret Societies Have Been Fomenting the 111 Feeling For a Year—Story of the Massacre. Shanghai, August s.— At a crowded meeting today of the European residents of the city, speeches condemning the ac tion of the Chinese authorities in the case of the massacre of the missionaries at Whai-Han, near Ku-Cheng, on Thurs day last, were made and a resolution was adopted to appeal directly to the European governments against the out rage. The resolution also referred to the inadequate manner in which China has dealt with the perpetrators of former outrages. Story of the Massacre. Hong Kong, Aug s.— The massacre commenced early on Thursday day at Whai-Han, near Ku-Cheng. The houses were fired and eight ladies, a man and a child were killed, and several were wounded, two probably mortally. The bodies are expected to arrive at Fu-Chau- Fu to day. The Chinese troops have been dispatch ed to the scene. The British and American consuls will have an interview with the Viceroy to morrow. All those who were killed are British. All the Americans escaped. There was no provocation for the outrages. The perpetrators were the vegetarian society. Ten Rritisli Subjects Killed. London, Aug. 5.—A Shanghai dis patch to the Times says that the mission and sanitarium at Wha-Sang, near Ku- Cheng, province of Fokein, has been at tacked, and ten British subjects killed. The Rev. Mr. Stewart, wife, and child were burned in their house. The Misses Yellow and Marshall, two sisters named Saunders, two sisters named Gordon, and Stettie Neweombe, were murdered with spears and swords. Miss Codring ton was seriously wounded about the head, and the Stewarts’ eldest child had a knee cap badly injured, while the youngest had an eye gouged ouL The Rev. Mr. Phillips, with two Amer icans, Dr. Gregory and Miss Hartford, were all wounded, but arrived safely at Fu-Cbau-Fu. The prefect of Cheng-Tu, who was a member of the commission of inquiry which examined into the former out rages of missionaries iu that region, is himself seriously implicated in the Cheng- Tu outrages. The Times says of the above: Rev. Stewart Foresaw. This Fate. “The Rev. Mr. Stewart resides at Ku- Cheng, and superintends the work of the prefectures of Ku-Cheng and Ping-Nang. Rev. Mr. Stewart, writing under date of February, 1895, describes how a sect known as vegetarians, taking advantage of the war, sprang into vigorous life and committed numerous outrages, and be came so formidable that the converts wanted him to organize and arm. He concludes his letter as follows: 4 I have just learned that 2,000 of these have en listed in the last six months. They are mostly of the lowest order, and at the present time the reins of government are practically'in their hands.’” Americans All Sale. Washington, Aug. s.— The State De partment Sunday received later intelli gence of the killing of missionaries in Ku Cheng, China. The dispatch, like the one received Saturday, was from Consul General Jernigan. It shows that no Americans were killed or wounded, but that the massacre of the British subjects was greater than at first reported. The Consul General’s dispatch is in the fol lowing words: “Americans all safe. None hurt. Ten British killed”. Although Mr. Jernigan does not use the word “missionaries” in his dispatch, yet there is no doubt felt by the officials of the State Department that he refers to them, and that his dispatch is intend ed as supplementary to that sent Satur day. Much gratification is expressed that the Americans have not suffered, as the dispatch appears to leave no doubt on that point. The cablegrrm was at once forwarded to Secretary Olney at his sum mer home in Massachusetts for his infor mation. Indemnity Wi I be Asked. The statement from United States Minister Denby aud Consul General Jernigan that no Americans were in jured in the attack by the Chinese mob upon the missions at Ku-Cheng relieves our Navy Department from the necessity of ordering some of the American naval forces to the scenes of the trouble, although this incident, will undoubtedly form the subject of another demand upon the Chinese government for repa ration and indemnity for the outrage upon the property rights of the Ameri can missionaries. The impression prevails that all the Chinese converts and servants of the mission houses were slain and that the buildings were destroyed by the rioters. Chinese secret secieties antagonistic to he dynasty rt t Pekin are known to have been fomenting ill feelings against the missionaries in the Southern provinces for a year, not merely on account of their hatred of the Christians, but also from a belief that any action .of theirs which had a tendency to embroil tho Pekin Government with foreign nations would serve to hasten the overthrow of the hated Manehus. The British Will Act Promptly. Ku-Cheng is said to be some 800 miles up the Yangtse river, accessible only to light draught gunboats. Undoubtedly, the British gunboats will be the first to reach the scene, as there are several at tached to the Asiatic squadron especially adapted to river service. The impression prevails that the British gunboats will receive orders to go up and shell Ku- Cheng without waiting the action of the authorities at Pekin. Under instructions from the State De partment, United States Minister Denby is now engaged in investigating the dam ages sustained by the American mis sions at Cheng-Tu during the rioting there. The Chinese government has al ready given assurance that it will pay a suitable indemnity, and has taken steps to ascertain for itself, through a com mis sion,the extent of the losses sustained by the foreigners. Advices from Tokio, Japan, under date of July 9, state that no foreigner was killed by the mobs in Cheng Tu and other Chinese towns during the riots of May 28, but evidence is at hand that many were brutally treated, including women and children. Locul Authorities Did Nothing. The attacks on the missionaries at that time were instigated on the old familiar pretence that sorcery was practiced by the foreign physicians, and that the bodies of natives were dissected to ob tain materials for magical spells. The local authorities did nothing to check the destruction of property or to protect the sufferers during the riots, although shelter was offered afterward in the offi ces of the provincial magistrates. Not only in Se-Chaun, but throughout the nation, the people are let to believe that the Emperor has ordered a move ment for the extirpation of aliens, and neither the Governors nor their subordi nates bestir themselves to dispel this conviction. Further disturbances are apprehended in regions which cannot be approached by a naval force, in spite of the activity of the foreign envoys up the Yangtse. How They Were Killed. London, Aug. 6.— The correspondent of the Times at Shang-Hai, says that the missionaries killed at Ku-Cheng were murdered by an organized band of eighty of the Vegetarians. The correspondent says: “The ladies begged for their lives, promising to yield their property and valuables, but the leader of the band shouted out his orders to kill them out right. A corrected list of the victims is as follows: Itev. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Nellie Saunders and Miss Lena Irish, burnt in the house. Miss Stettie Neweombe was spared and thrown down a precipice. Miss Marshall had her throat cut. Miss Gordon, speared in the head.’ Miss Topsy Saunders, speared in the brain. Master Herbert Stewart, skull fractured and brain exposed. Lena Stewart died from shock. MRS. T. DeWITT TALMAGE DEAD. Died from Nervous Prostration Caused by Burning of the Tabernacle. Danbville, N. Y., Aug. s.— Mrs. T. DeWitt Talmage died here at 5:30 this morning. Since the burning of the Brooklyn Tabernacle last year, Mrs. Talmage has suffered from nervous prostration, and she has never fully recovered from the shock sustained then. The fire broke out while the Doctor was holding h s usual Sunday reception, and a large num ber of parishioners and visitors were in the church when the fire broke out. They all made good their escape but Dr. Talmage went back into the burning edifice for something he had left behind. During his absence Mrs. Talmage, who, with other members of the family, was outside awaiting his re appearance be came greatly excited and alarmed for the Doctor’s safety. As soon as she was in formed that he was all right she broke down completely, her overwrought Dervcs being unequal for such a strain. Her doctors suggested a European trip to build up her failing health. She was accompanied to Europe by the Misses Maud and Daisy Talmage. While in Rome she became ill with Roman tever and accompanied by one of her physi cians, retu'ned home. While staying at the family’s summer residence, near East Hampton, L. I , she appeared to improve and her friends had hopes for her speedy recovery. This was not to be, however, as she soon had a relapse of the spells of exhaustion and nervous prostration. The sufferer was removed to the Dansville Sanitarium about a year ago. While Dr. Talmage was absent on a lecturing tour in the West last week he received a telegram summoning him to his wife’s bedside. He at once cancelled all his engagements aud hastened back to find that there was very little hope for the patient’s recovery, and he re mained with her until the end came this morning. The deceased was the second wife of Dr. Talmage, his first wife was drowned while boating in 1862, leaving a daugh ter, Miss Jessie and a son, who has since died. Within two years afterwards the doctor married Miss Susie Whittomore, of Brooklyn. To Succeed the Late Dr. Minor. Charlottesville, Va., Aug. s.—The summer law class of the University of Virginia to-day passed resolutions urg ing the Borad of Visitors to appoint Rai eigh C. Minor as professor to succeed his father recently deceased. RACE WAR IN ILLINOIS ENRAGED WHITE MINERS GIVE NEGROES A TASTE OF MOB VIOLENCE. ft SCORE OF NEGROES WOUNDED. Two of Them are Already Dead and Others Will Probably Die—The Mob was Lead by Italians, and Stones, Clubs and Bullets Were Freely Csed by Both Side's—Robbery of a White Man by Five Negroes Precipitated the Riot—Both Sides are now Organizing Spring Valley, 111., Aug. s.— The “Location,” a patch of some 100 odd company houses near No. 3 shaft, in habited almost exclusively by negroes, was Sunday morning visited by a ven geance mob of 500 white miners from the city and given a taste of mob vio lence. Saturday Dight near midnight five col ored men held up a white man named Barney Role between this city and Loca tion and after robbing him ot nearly SIOO in money fired three pistol shots into him aud left him for dead. Role is the third man shot at Location in the past few weeks. When the miners of this city Sunday morning heard of the outrage they as sembled on the public square and deci ded to march in a body to General Man ager Dazell’s house and demanded of him the discharge cf every colored man in Location. A brass band was secured, and the mob repaired to the general manager’s house. He refused to grant what the white miners * ..ted. They then told him that as he was not dis posed to run the negroes out of town they would take the matter up ihem selves, and with that they marched to ward No. 3. By the time the mob arrived at Loca tion most of the negroes, having been notified of the wrath of the whites, had fled to the woods. About a dozen were caught and treated to most violent acts. Stones were hurled at them and shots fired. The boarding house for colored men at No. 3 was then a’ f °eked. All the inmates fled for their lives. The mob ransacked the houses, breaking furniture and committing other depre dations. Sunday afternoon a gang of men with pistols scoured the woods hunting for negroes to shoot at. Sheriff Clark, who was telegraphed for, arrived late in the afternoon with about a dozen deputies. There is a terrible prejudice here against the negroes for bold outrages they are charged with. There is much feeling against Manager Dazell, at whose in stance, it is alleged, they were imported. Both Sides Organizing. The foreigners under the leadership of the Italians, and the negroes, who have concentrated their forces at Seaton ville, were both organizing to-day, and as the towns are practically under mob law, a deadly conflict was anticipated. The non English speaking miners of Spring Valley, to the number of 2,000, held a mass meeting and passed a reso lution that no negroes—men, women or invalids—would be allowed to remain in side the city limits after 5 o’clock to morrow evening. Speeches oi the most inflammatory nature were made advo cating the immediate opening up of hostilities. The negroes at Seatonville had a meeting at the Union Chuich later and organized themselves for active ser vice. Bureau county has 300 repeating Win chester rifles stored in the court house at Princeton for the protection of the citi zens and an effort will be made to secure these. Should this fail the men will arm themselves with shot guns or rifles and small arms and make an effort to regain their homes and household goods. They also passed a resolution that they would continue to work in the Spring Valley mines until discharged by the coal com pany. As the police and sheriff were making no effort to arrest the rioters, the spirit of lawlessness is on the increase. The negroes most seriously injured are: Granville Lewis, aged forty-live, shot in the head and clubbed with rifles; will die. Clem L. Martin, aged thirty-two, shot in hack of head with rifle hull and thirty buck shot in back and shoulders; may die. Norman Bird, aged thirty-eight, shot in neck and head; also badly bruised by kicks and internal injuries received. Mrs. Bird,aged thirty-one, wife of above, shot in right cheek and arm; also trampled upon; will die. Maria Bird, aged fourteen, daughter of above, shot in breast; wound may prove fa tal. Wm. Lee, aged thirty-four, kicked and trampled upon. Juhe Steritt, aged forty-seven, trampled upon, face lacerated, and injured inter nally. Oscar Prim, Silas Burden, Jude Stuart, James Kelley, and Will Beck were all badly cut and bruised. Frank Turner, aged twenty-eight, shot twice in back of head and struck in back and shoulders with about forty buckshot. Frank Burner, head badly bruised, body also trampled upon and internal injuries received. In addition to the negroes reported injured at yesterday’s conflict four others are missing, as follows : Wash ington Anderson, aged 47 years; Arch Fleming, aged 35; Samuel Johnson, aged 30; Lewis Martin, aged 35. It is the opinion that two at least are lying dead in the woods, surrounding the late negro colony, as farmers report having seen their bodies. Two Miners Shot at a Dance. Welch, W. Va., Aug. s.— At Key stone last night J. M. Stroud, coke boss for tho Pulaski Iron Company, shot W. A. Gilbert and James Owen«, two white miners working for the same company. The fight started with fists, then the two began to club Stroud and Stroud fired. PRICE FIVE CENTS. The trouble arose at a dance givsn by the miners on Monday. The miners took men to the dance whom Gilbert and Owens said were seal®. Giloert may live but Owens will die. Stroud ;s in jail. JAMES LEACH ELECTROCUTED. He Killed His Mistre** and Then Tried to Commit Suicide. Sing Sing, N. Y.. Aug. 5.- James Leach was electrocuted this morning. Seventeen hundred volts were turned into his body and the current was re duced to 300, after which it was again raised to 1,700 and reduced to 300. Tho current was turned on one minute and fifty seven seconds before he was pro nounced dead. I.each killed Mary Hope Newkirk, his mistress, after frequent quarrels, on ac count of the attentions paid to the woman by her unele, S. H. Moore. The crime was committed on Sunday, November 18, 1894, by lieach cutting the woman’s throat with a knife, severing ths jugular vein. When Leach saw that he had committed murder he tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat with the same knife. After he cut his throat lie wrote on a slate that he killed Mary Newkirk, and also a note stating that he loved her and before he would allow an other man to live with her he would kill her. Leach and the woman had been drinking the night before and both were intoxicated ~hen the crime was commit ted. BLAND LEADS TIIE SILVERITES. Thinks the Time II«s Come for Silver Men to Control the Party. Psrtie Springs, Mo., Aug. s.—Silver “Dick” Bland arrived here to day to lead the forces and frame the resolutions which will be adopted by the Democratic silver convention which meets to-mor row. The advance guard is a small one, not more than a dozen delegates being here and, barring Senator Cockrell, who lives here, Bland is the only 3tar attrac tion on the ground. Bland, however, has already thrown down the gauntlet to the anti-silver element in the Democratic Central Committee, and it may result in terrible friction if nothing more. Bland had not been here an hour be fore he was out in the emphatic declara tion to a few trusted friends that the time has arrived when the silver men should assume control of the party ma chinery. A BOMB FOR ROOSEVELT. Some One Probably Trying to Scare the Police Official. New York, Aug. s.— What is believed to be an infernal machine was discover ed in the mailiug department of the postoffiee to-day addressed to “Theodore Roosevelt, Central Police Office.” The box looked suspicious, aud the investi gation disclosed a large cartridge with fuse attached. Police headquarters was notified and two policemen, sent down by Chief Conklin, took the supposed bomb away. On examination it appeared that some one had probably been trying to scare the police commissioner. There was a shotgun cartridge in the box, hut the postoffice officials did not think it was likely to do much harm. BASEBALL YESTERDAY. At Boston: r. ir. n.

Special to the News and Observer. WILKESBORO, N. C., Aug. 5. Several attempts have been made to capture Coleman wllo killed his brother in law, Cook, several months ago, but all efforts have been fruitless so far.
