SENT TO THE COUNTY ROADS Os the IT Sent Up, 3 Went for Twelve Months, II for Four Months, and 3 for Three Months—Cf those that Plead Guilty One was Fined SSO and Three were Discharged Upon Pay ment of Costs— Two were Discharged on Account ot Old Age and Intirmity. Special to the News ami Observer. Winston, N. C., Aug 22 The jury this morning returned a ver dict of guilty against seventeen ni the twenty-three* negro rioters, which have been on trial here for several days. Two of these were discharged ly .Judge Brown, on account of old age and in firmity. Mitigating testimony was then offered as to several of the defendants who had plead guilty. Two or three, against whom there were separate indict ments for carrying concealed weapons, «• plead guilty and judgment was suspend ed on account of sentence in the former case. After court opened this afternoon statements were made by the counsel for their respective clients, asking the court to deal gently with them. Judge Brown stated that he had given this matter a great deal of earnest thought. He did not want to be severe nor weak in as serting the majesty of the law. If those people had dispersed when requested to do so by lawful authority he said there would have been no prosecution. They were given ample time to dis perse. If they chose to defy the law they could not come in court and say they did not mean to do it. It wa3 hot headed rashness in the extreme. K was only a merciful providence that pre vented many on both sides from being killed, or bad shooting, he did not know which. He deemed it his duty to im pose sentence on most of these pris oners. He would try to impose a sen tence according to the degree of culpa bility. While somß would think he was too ’ lenient, still others would think they ought not to be punished at all With him It was a matter of conscience. Seventeen of the rioters were sent to the county roads, three for twelve months, eleven for four months and three for three months. One was fined fifty dollars and cost, and three were dis charged upon payment of the cost. Sev eral negroes plead guilty during the pro gress of the trial. In court this afternoon, acting solicitor Clement Manly, called attention to a rumor that had gained currency to the effect that Arthur Tuttle, whom the negroes were trying to protect, had written a letter from the penitentiary, stating that upon the night of the riot jailor Ziglar took him (Tuttle) and placed him where the lynchers could get him. Mr. Manly said he did not men tion this to reflect upon the prisioners, but be did it in behalf of Mr. Ziglar, who courted the fullest investigation of such a charge. Judge Brown said he hadn’t the slightest idea that the charge wa3 true, or that there was the slightest intention to do barm to Tuttle. The special term of court closed this afternoon. It is still believed that several negroes have died from wounds received during the riot, but their friends have succeeded in keeping their names and the particulars from the public. The Hotel Phoenix, which has been closed for two months, has been leased • to Efird Bros, and Frank Brown, and will be opened under the management of J. A. Efird next week. It was a stockholders meeting of the North Carolina Midland Railroad held here Monday instead of the North Caro lina Road, as was printed. QUAY HAS WON HIS II ATTLE. L°aders ot the Combination Against Him Have Given Up All Hope. Harrisbirg, Pa., Aug. 22. —United States Senator Quay came to Harrisburg this afternoon and will remain here un til after the Republican State Conven tion, which is to meet next Thursday. A - caucus of his followers has been called to meet in this city on Tuesday evening. Senator Q iay to-night issued the follow ing statement: “The leaders of the combination against me have given up all hope of defeating me, except by means of the direct bribery of fifteen or twenty es the delegates who have hitherto been favorable to me. To accomplish this resuit, agents of the ‘combine’ will lie sent to almost every county in the State. These people will tempt the men who have been elected delegates with large sums of money. I hope my friends will be on their guard, and wil promptly take measures to make public t :e effort of the combine bribers, and speedily bring them to justice. Without such despe rate methods it is impossible for me to lo*» control of the convention.’’ Tobacco Manufacturers ('outer. Cincinnati, 0., Aug. 22 Mr. Loril lard. of New York, tobacco manufactu rer, en route from the St. Ixmis meeting and some others interested in tobacco, are 1 t ie. and it is likely that a confer ence 11 be held, but no publicity has teen given to the meeting. fcevcie Earthquake la Spain.

THEY WERE ALL FOR SILVER. Gold Men Were Ignored by the Demo crats in Nebraska Yesterday. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 22. —If an effort was made to conciliate any warring ele ments in the ranks of Nebraska Demo crats it w;.s not in evidence at the State Democratic Convention to day. Prior to the session there was some talk about the silver and gold wings of the party combining,but if a plan was seriously con templated it was early abandoned. From 2 o’clock, wh*:-n Chairman Smith con vened the body, until 11 o'clock to night. when the curtain went, down in the hall, silver was the only apparent problem before the convention. But it was essentially a convention of the ad vocates of the white metal in the party and the other wing ignored the action of to day and will convene at Lincoln, September 5. Edgar Howard, was made permanent chairman without opposition and the fol lowing nominations were made by ac clamation: Supreme Court Judge, E. J. Phelps: Regents State University, Dr. 11. 8. Blaekburne and J J. Kettle. After speeches of minor importance, bubbling over with silver sentiment and opposition to the A. P. A., the commit tee reported the following resolutions: “We, the Democrats of Nebraska, in convention assembled, re affirm our faith in those principles written in the declaration of American independence and emphasized by Jefferson and Jack son. “We re-affirm the declaration made by the last Democratic State Convention, held in Nebraska on September 26th, 1894 “We believe the restoration of the money of the Constitution is now the paramount issue before the convention and insist that all parties shall plainly state their respective positions upon the question, in order that the voters may intelligently express their preference. “We, therefore, declare ourselves in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage existed prior to 1873, without waiting for the said con sent of any other nation, such gold and silver coin to be a full legal tender, for all debts, public and private. “We send greeting to our Democratic brethren throughout the Union who are making such a gallant fight for the re storation of bi metallism, and congratu late them upon the progress made.” Here followed a plank denouncing the A. P. A , and another commending President Cleveland’s civil service re form policy. A delegate attempted to place the fol lowing before the convention as the minority report: “We commend the administration of President Cleveland as being able, patrotic and honest and reaffrm the platform adopted by the Demobratic National Convention at Chicago,in 1892.” Scarcely had the first word been ut tered when the whole convention was protesting. There was such a roar that order was not established for ten minutes, when the offending resolution was tabled without comment. To night. Hon. W. J. Bryan and other Nebraska Democrats addressed the con vention on financial issues. MEANING OF SOUND MONEY. Chairman Patterson Now Tries His Hand at a Correct Definition. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 22. —Charles Heber Clark on Wednesday last address ed a letter to C. Stuart Patterson, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Sound Money Lea gue, in which be requests Mr. Patterson to give him “a definition of the phrase ‘sound money’ as approved by the sound money league.” Mr. Patterson to day replied as foI *OWS * “Sib: —I have received your letter of the first instant. It gives me great pleas ure to reply to your inquiry. Sound money is of only one of two possible kinds: “First, that whose market value as a commodity is equivalent to its face value as money; or, “Second, tba‘ which is representative in its character, and having little or no market value as a commodity is converti ble at par into money of the first kind. “It is obvious that in the terms of this definition, gold alone is sound money of the first kind and legal tender notes, national bank notes, and the money of small change, subsidiary silver, nickel and copper coins are sound money of the aec n d kind. It is also obvious that so long as the government of the United States is able to redeem its silver dol lars in gold at par those silver dollars are sound money of the second kind, for their monetary value is dependent, not upon their market value as bullion, but exclusively upon their convertibility at par into gold. It is also obvious that as money silver, dollars are more bulky, more inconvenient to handle, more costly to produce and no more effective than notes. It is also and equally obvious that if silver weie to be admitted to free coinage at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, under the independent action of this government, it would not be possible for this government to con tinue to redeem its silver dollars at par in gold, and its silver dollars would therefore not be sound money. “As you say, that your wish is to make public use of any response you may receive, I have sent your letter and this reply to the newspapers.” RALEIC-H, N. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 23. IB9S. IN STRAIGHT HEATS JOE PATCH EN’S VICTORY OVER GENTRY YESTERDAY HAS DECISIVE. THE KANSAS HORSE IS NOW KING Though the North Carolinian H as Not in Condition lie Showed Great Gameness to the Last—The Bad Time Due to the Track and the Wind Twelve Thousand People Saw the Race, and the Betting Has Brisk— Patchen Had Advantage ol Position. Chicago, 111., Aug. 22.—Joe Patchen to-day won the match race against John R. Gentry in straight heats. The race took place on the famous Washington Park track, but as a wind that amounted almost to a gale blew all the afternoon, a sensational time performance was out of the question. The three heats were covered in 2:05 1-4; 2:07 1 4 and 2:07 1 4. Nevertheless, the contest is regarded as one of the most important that has taken place on the trotting or paciugturf. Patchen’s v.ctory was decisive and seems to put his claim to first place among harness racers beyond dispute. Twelve thousand people saw the race and the fact that betting was prohibited did not deter the crowd from showing a degree of enthusiasm that is seldom seen at a horse race. At 3:15 the gianis of speed were called upon the track although there had been no decrease in the arid gale. Curry and McHenry, the drivers, stood in the cen ter of the track and tossed a coin for advantage of position. Curry won and thus got the pole. They were sent away on the fifth score together. Patchen moved slightly away and for over a quarter of a mile led by nearly a length, the first quarter being made* in :32. On the second quarter they had the wind at their backs and raced the distance in :30 1-2. Nearing this pole, Gentry began to crawl up and his friends tore sections out of the grand stand when he went past Patchen at the far turn as if it was nc trouble at a’l. The third quarter was covered in :30 flat—the fastest of the race. Turn ing into the stretch, Gentry still led by a length or more and his supporters were buoyant, but on the way to the wire the crowd was surprised to see Patchen, without being touched by the whip, come up on the outside and on his own game ness. beat Gentry out by a good length. Neither horse was touched by the whip in this heat and it locked to be a fair test ot their speed. In the next heat, McHenry let Patchen go out and set the pace all the way around to the stretch. Then ensued a long and furious drive, McHenry using the whip savagely on Gentry, who over came all but about three feet of the two lengths difference that had separated them at the head of the stretch; but Patchen had both speed and endurance and won. Time for quarters: :33 34, :32, :31 12, :30 1 2. Never did a horse show greater game ness than John R Gentry displayed in this heat. For a quarter of a mile he stood the lash, straining every nerve, and being apparently in distress all the way, yet never once did he show the slightest inclination to break. The third heat was easy all the way for Patchen, who led and won by two lengths. Time for quarters: 31 3 4 32 1-4, 31 1-2, 81 3 4. The only explanation offered after the race by driver McHenry and owner Scott was that their horse was not in condi tion. Gol. Taylor, owner of the victor, said: “Had the race to-day been on the Terre Haute track, with no wlDd, the first heat would have been in les3 than two min utee.” BASEBALL YESTERDAY.

CAUGHT FROM A SPARK HUT THOUSANDS OF TONS OF FREIGHT HERE QUICKLY i CONSUMED. AND SIX HUNDRED CARS BURNED ii uge Warehouses and Dwellings Burned Like Tinder Boxes in Mil waukee Yesterday—A Thirty-Mile H ind was Blowing and the Flames Spread With Great Rapidity—The Loss Cannot Now he Told -With Ac curacy, but Estimated at SIOO,OOO. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 22. — A fire which threatened to make havoc equal to that wrought in the third ward three years ago, broke out at 1 o’clock this af ternoon in the watehouseof the Union Steamboat Company, on the Menominee river. A thirty mile wind was blowing and the (lames spread with great ra pidity. The fire originated on the dock of the Union Company 7 at the river and Reed street bridge, and is supposed to have been caused by a spark from a passing steamer. The building was constructed entirely of wood and as it burned it belched forth smoke like a volcano. Within a few minutes the flames had burst through the roof and caught to a row of St. Paul lreightcars standing just north of the building. The Union Company’s build ing was six hundred feet in length and in it were thousands of tons of freight, all of which were destroyed with the building which was in ashes in less than half an hour. Over six hundred freight cars belong ito the St. Paul Company, and in process of being loaded or ready to ship, were soon enveloped in flames, the fire jumping from one building or line of cars to another so rapidly that the com pany’s employees did not have time tore move any of them. Within a half hour after the fire started the Wisconsin Central freight house, just north of the river and three hundred feet in length, was totally destroyed. This, like the others, was filled with freight and a large num ber of the company’s cars, standing near at the time, were destroyed. Within a few minutes after the freight cars began burning, fire broke forth from the cupola of the oil and grease es tablishment of H. J. Dalaney and Oom nany, on Third street, a half block from ihe tracks, where the burning cars stood. Following this the plumbing establish ment of E. T. Down, on'Second street, was quickly destroyed and the wagon shop of H. Trinkner, adjoining, took fire several times, but it was put out each time and seemed in fairway to stand. A row of small frame dwellings on Fowler street, directly opposite the St. Paul freight house, between Second and Third streets, took fire, one after the other, and were destroyed. The occu pants were able to get nearly all their furniture out tefore the heat aud smoke drove them back. The main freight house of the St. Paul Company, extending from the southwest corner of Fowler and Second to Third streets, had a very close call, but was saved. The burned territory extends from West Water street, along the river front up to Sixth street viaduct. The principal buildings burned, not including the frame dwellings, were de stroyed on Fowler and Second streets, and were as follows : Union Steamboat warehouse, Anchor Line warehouse, Pennsylvania Railroad freight house, "Wisconsin Central freight house (owned by St. Paul Company), part of Pritz’off warehouse, Delaney Oil warehouse, (damaged); E. T. Downs’ plumbing shop. At 3:30 the fire was under control and there was no further danger of its spread ing. What the loss is can not be told with any degree of accuracy. Little is known of the character and value of the freight destroyed, but it is believed that the damage amounts to upwards of $300,000, some estimates place the loss at $400,000. While the fire was in pro gross, Joseph McManus, a son of Detec tive Wm. McManus, of the city police force, was run over by engine No. 6, at the corner of Third and Fowler streets, and instantly killed. A Hotel Burned. Nyack, N. Y., Aug. 22.—The Grand Union Hotel at Congers took fire at 3 o’clock this morning and with its con teats, was totally destroyed; loss, $85,- 000. In jumping from a window, Wil liam A. Webb, a guest at the hotel, broke his leg and was otherwise seriously in jured. Other guests lost all their bag gage- A TIE AC ROSS THE TRACK. The Engineer Instantly Killed aud the Fireman Fatally Hurt. Farmville, Va., Aug. 22. —A terrible wreck occurred to-day near Pamplin, a station on the N. & W. Railroad, twenty miles east of here. Some oae placed a tie across the track which threw a fast running engine ’and freight train into one pile of wreckage. Engineer William Wysong was instantly killed, and Fire man George R. Smith perhaps fatally in jured. There is no clue to the perpetra tors of the outrage. Hunting lor the Train Robbers. Fennvii.le, Mich., Aug. 22.—Four express officials are here looking into the Chicago and West Michigan train rob bery. They now admit there were four money packages in the expre s car safe, but will n'it. state the amount lost. The robbers now have a good start and have 1 left few clues. CONSUL H ALLER’S CASE. His Release Will be Demanded and Indemnity lor Hts Wrongs. Washington, D. C., Aug. 22.- The following is given in official circles as a fair statement of the Waller caso so far as the facts have been reported to the United States : There is no doubt that while in a country occupied by the French, Mr. Waller wrote letters to the people the French were opposing. These letters were traced to him and were made the pretext for his arrest and conviction. This arrest and conviction was irregular. His trial was not fair and during his imprisonment before and after conviction he was treated with great harshness. He w r as brought to Frauce, chained to the deck of a steamer, and though ill and suffering, he was im prisoned without proper care. The French government has not ex plained in any satis f actory manner the irregular arrest and trial. It has been attempted to excuse it by sajing that in time of war military courts aud trials are different from civil proceedings in time of peace, but this explanation in the opinion of the United States does not meet the case, and in the opinion of the State Department there is a strong possibility that Waller’s treatment was due to the concessions he claimed in Madagascar. When the case was first presented to the Department of State it appeared that there was little that could be done for Waller. The first evidence furnished by the French government of Waller’s in discretions made his case look doubtful, but later developments, including the failure of the French government to ex plain the irregular proceedings of the trial, and the necessarily harsh and in human treatment of the prisoner, and the demonstrated fact that Waller had some equity rights, at least, in Madagas car, made his case appear in a far better light. In view of what has come to light as a result of later inquiry, it is held that the United States has good ground for de manding Waller's release and indemnity for his wrongs. IMPRISONED FOR SEDUCTION. Sensational Arrest of a Prominent Re publican Politician. Trenton, N. J., Aug. 22.— Frank A. Magowan, until recently rated as a millionaire and frequently mentioned in connection with the Republican guber natorial nomination this year, was ar rested to-day on a capias charged with the seduction of Helen Edith Barnes and the alienation of her affections from her husband, John Barnes. The latter was superintendent of the Eastern Rubber Company, one of the Magowan concerns, which a fortnight since passed into the hands of a receiver, and it is he who prefers the charges against Magowan. Magowan was taken at once to the Mercer county jail and detained under $25,000 bail. The heavy oail was fixed on account of the belief that Magowan was arranging to leave for Mexico, and because Barnes is desirous of instituting suit to recover SIOO,OOO damages against him. Magowan’s arrest on such charges has created a great sensation. Reports were in circulation a few days ago that Barnes was seeking Magowan with a revolver and a tragic conclusion of the affair had been anticipated. According to this complaint, Barnes and his wife were married May 17, 1886, by Rev. McKee,‘in Toronto, Canada. Her name was Helen Edith Riddle. They have a girl, Beryl, the only child born to them. Captain Lawrence Farrell and Senator William H. Skirn, this afternoon furn ished jbail for Magowan and he was at once released from custody. The papers in the big damage suit were filed tc-day and the case will come up for trial at the November term of the Supreme court. Chauncey H. Beasley, counsel for Barnes, is;drawingup a peti tion for divorce for him which it is ex pected will be filed within 24 hours. After his release on ball, Magowan had a long consultation with his attorneys which resulted in his applying for awaa rant for Barnes upon the charge of per jury. Barnes heard of the warrant and surrendered himself. Upon being brought before the justice who issued the warrant, he waived examination and was held on $5,000 bail. Magowan has also threatened to cause the arrest of C. H. Bearsley, Barnes’ counsel. Barnes got bail and was released at mid night. IN THE FIELD OF LABOR. Thirteen Hundred Cloak Makers Join the Strike in New York. New York, Aug. 22.— Thirteen hun dred cloak makers on strike is the latest acquisition to the roll of strikers who have thronged the streets and filled the halls in the East Side during the past four weeks.

BY CHINESE FANATICS THE AMERICAN MISSION AT FOO-CHOW AT ACRED BY AN ARMED MOB. FOUR NATIVE SCHOLARS WOUNDED The Chapel and School House H ere Wrecked But the American french erw Escaped Without Injury--The Populace are Parading the Streets With Cries of “Drive Out the For eign Devils’’—The Situation is Se rious and Due to Prejudice. Hong Kong, Aug. 22. —Another out rage has been committed upon mission aries near Foo-Ohow. The American mission has been attacked by a largo and infuriated mob armed with various weapons. The chapel and school house of tho mission were wrecked and four of tho native scholars were wounded. The foreign teachers, however, escaped in jury. A strong anti-foreign local feeling pre vails at Foo-Chow, and it is spreading among the populace, who are parading the public thoroughfares with cries of “drive out the foreign devils.” The News Confirmed. London, Aug. 22.—A dispatch to the Times from Hong-Xong, this afternoon, confirms the dispatch from Hong-Kong announcing the attack upon the Ameri can mission near Foo-Ohow. and a dan gerous state of the populace of that city. According to the Times dispatch, the American school was situated just out side of the West gate of Foo Chow. The dispatch adds: The situation at Ku Cheng is unchang ed. Captain John S. Newell of the United States cruiser Detroit and Dr. Hart have gone there from Foo Chow. More anti-foreign placards and pam phlets are being distributed at Canton. A Warship Had Just Left. London, Aug. 23. —A Shang-Hai dis patch to the Times, says that H. M. 8. Rainbow left Foo-Chow yesterday for Yokohama, though her presence at Foo- Chow is urgently required. Hue to Ignorance and Prejudice. Washington, D. 0., Aug. 22. -The Chinese Legation here had not been ap prised of the latest attack upon Ameri can missions by the Chinese fanatics near Foo Chow 7 until shown the Associ ated Press’ dispatch bringing the news. The minister expressed regret at the oc currence through his interpreter. It is freely admitted at the legation that in the present state of feeling in China, growing out of ignorance and prejudices of the nat.ves, and especially because of the recent war, all foreigners in the in terior of China are in more or less dan ger. The hope is expressed at the lega tion that the missionaries will recognize this state of things and will seek the treaty ports until the excitement sub sides and normal conditions are restored. The utmost confidence was expressed of the intention of the Chinese imperial government to protect the Christian mis sions as far as possible, and the last edict from the Emperor, issued within the past ten days, was quoted as evidenoe of this intention. Officials of the State Department said that it was probable the riot was one which was reported to the State Depart ment several days ago as occurring at Yung-Fu, a place not far from Foo- Chow. The facts in the case correspond so closely to the report of the Yung-Fu af fair that it is believed the same report having reached Hong-Kong, was cabled as a new outrage. Minister Denby was informed of the Yung-Fu affair, and this will be investigated by the commis sion which has gone to Ku-Cheng. TO MOVE THE COTTON CROP. Money in the New York Sub-Treasury to be Transferred to Nexv Orleans. Washington, Ang. 22. —The Treasurer of the United States is now in communi cation with New York bankers for the purpose of arranging transfers of money in the sub-treasury in New York to New Orleans, where it can be used in moving the cotton crop. The amount required to move the cot ton crop runs up in the millions and the New Yoik bankers who advance the money for this pilrpose de sire to avoid the time, expense and risk involved in sending the large amounts needed to New Orleans. They, therefore, for some years have arranged with the Treasury to deposit their money at the sub-treasury in New York and the Treasury Department then places tho amount of the deposit to their credit in the sub treasury at New Orleans. It will be some days yet before the amount needed will be known. HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER. Placing tlic Responsibility for the Ire* laud Building Disaster.
