The- Crowd Fired Upon by State Troops Several Killed and Others Wounded The Negro in Jail Guarded bj Troops Sur rounded by an Enfari ated Mob Threats tov. Blow up the Jail. Washington, Ohio, Oct. 17. In the Criminal court to-day Jasper Dolby, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Mary C. Byrd of Parrots station, a week ago, confessed the crime and was sentenced to the peni tentiary for twenty years. Ther was every prospect of a bloody fight to-night, as a gseat mob was in town bent on lynching Dolby, and the sheriff had two companies of State; militia here to help him preset the prisoner. A special grand jurySvas called, Dolby was in dicted to-day and bis trial and sentence followed promptly.1. The county officers hoped by this means to quiet the mob and avert a fight. I Colcmuus, O. , Qct. 17. 8 p. sr. A special just receivedJTrom Washington Court House Bays that the sheriff, with three companies of militia started this evening to take Dolby, the negro rape fiend, to the penitentiary, but at the depot the mob got possession of the pris oner. The militia charged, killing two of the mob and recapturing the prisonerT He was then hurried back to the jail. A call has been made for the First and Fourteenth regiments. A later special from Washington Court Houre ssys: As darkness came On a crowd of 1,500 people surrounded the court house and jail, which, are really one building, yelling: "Lynch him, Lynch him." . Finally some one threw a stone which struck a' soldier on the breast. Then Col.j Coit, whose anger was aroused, addressed the people in language which was very plain and forcible. He told them not to repeat the offence. "If you want to injure any one," said h, "hit i me and not those young men," and with hat up lifted he walked out into the crowd and " said: "Here I am," his face ashen with anger. The crowd gathered around him but not a man lifted his hand to strike the colonel. It was probably well that they did not for standing on the court house steps were the soldiers with guns loaded, waiting an I crder to fire. The crowd surged-closer and closer to the court nouse steps, pecoming bolder as the darkness increased. Col. Coit ad dressed them again or rather attempted to do so, but tbey would not listen to him. He shouted that he would have to order the soldiers to fire if they did not fall back but on they came and finally the order to fire was given. There was a flash and a roar, many were seen to fall and the mob fled like a lot of. frightened sheep, j The dead ar : Fm th Welsh, 18 years if age. son of a grotseryman. shot i in the head and abdomen ; Jesse July, 25 years old, a laborer, shot in the urease and abdomen; Mack Johnson, of Wil liamsburg, Brown county, shot in tt& towels. I The wounded are : William Sam, 23 years old, a laborer, of Adams county, working here; Theodore Ammerman. shot in right thigh (serious); Frark Neitberhouse, an aged man, shot in -left leg; George Keating, 14 years old, she t in groin and in both legs, will die; Frar k Smith, flesh wound in foot; Dial Pai -rott, 20 years of agei, shot in right fool ; John McCune, flesh wound in foot; Ernest Ellis, shot" in foot. Others were undoubtedly wounded, but these are the most serious cases. .The crowd secured a battering ram and began to beat down the door. . Not a shot was firerTby the soldiers until the door fell in, when Ithe troops fired the volley which resulted so fatally. The remainder of the soldiers were stationed at the south entrance and unmindful that a portion of the crowd were making an attempt to batter down the door at the north entrance. The first fright fol lowing the volley having died away, the mob is becoming more boisterous and bold again. They are gathering abou4 the court house and though Btill mainf taining a respectful distance, are utter ing loud imprecations against the sol dier, and fears are enfeert lined for their safety if reinforcements do not quickly comp. The crowd is now making an attempt to secure dynamite and swear that they, will blow up the court house. The wounded and dead are being car ried into the engine house and the stores nearbv. ItTooks verv evident that the prisoner will be secured before morning. At 9 o'clock to-night Adjt. Gen. Howe ordered out as an additional force, bat tery B of the First artillery at Cincin- nati. Sheriff Cook, of Fayette county, tele- erraDhed Gen.- Howe as follows: "The rumor is . correct. I Three have been killed and eight or ten wounded." The first message was received from Col. A. B. Coit, in command of the Stale trooos at Washington Court House since the report of the assault at 11 o'clock to night. It was addressed to vi-en. J . u Howe and was as follows: "Your telegrams! just received. No reinforcements have yet arrived. We can hold the court house for hours. The doors were broken in and the guards fired on. It is reported to us that two .were killed and three wounded. It is reported to the sheriff that the mob has broken into the powder house and taken the powder. It is the most determined mob I ever saw. The troops used every TrPPaution. The sheriff and Judge May- nard approve our action. I-pleaded and begged of the men to peaceaoiy aisperse. Our men are all right now." Adit-. -Gen. Howe' has been unable to get any answer to Col. Coit and Sheriff (Vmkfl. He believes that the mob has them surrounded and that they hava cut the State prison to-night under guard of the troops, as soon as the mob that sur rounds the jail can be dispersed. . : Cincinnati, Oct 17 A .despatch to the Inquirer from Washington Court House Bays: There is no doubt a pur pose to blow up the court house. Of this the militia are aware. A full moon lights up every approach to the court nouse. it military re-enforcements do not reach here " before the moon troes down there is danger of further greater Dioodsned between an organized armed mob and the militia, and in case the mob succeeds there is danger that many of the militia will share the fate of the human brute Dolby. COLUMBUS.Ohio.Oct. 18. Shortly after midnignt Adjt. Gen. Howe secured tele phone communication with Maj. John C. Speaks of the Fourteenth regiment, surrounded in the court house at Wash ington Court House by the mobv Maj. Speaks, said the mob about the court house and ja.il seemed to be as large as ever but not so nouey and defiant. He was informed that another large crowd j had collected at the railway station evidently awaiting the arrival of more troops. - ,i -.- ; - THE TRAIN ROBBERS. . 1 A 1 - I ONE OF THEM CAPTURED AT CUMBERLAND, MD.

As the engine and coaches crossed the bridge over the North Fork river which forms a city boundary line, Battery A fired a salute of nineteen guns. (The Vice Preaiden was met at the depot ; by a delegation in carriages headed by a band and escorted to his headquarters at the armory. Republicans fully equaled, if not ex ceeded, their Democratic neighbors in showing the hospitality of the city to the Vice President of the United States by bounteously decorating their resi dences and places of business with nags and bunting. The procession staited 1 o clock and was one of the largest the history of Vermillion county. The Vice President delivered his ad dress to an immense and enthusiastic throrg at Lincoln park at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The speech was exceedingly Well received. A large portion of it was deyoted to recent tariff legislation. The Vice President said he would at any time gladly have given the casting vote in the Senate to the Tariff bill as it Das3ed the House ofRepresentatives,but it was impossible to have it pass me senate where the Democrats only had a bare majority of one vote. Forced to Coin Silver Dollars. London, Oct. 1 7. At a meeting of the directors of the chartered banks of India, Australia and China held this afternoon the chairman announced that the Government had given their sane tinn to the coinage of a British dollar for circulation in the Straits settlements and Hons Kone. The fall in the price Lof silver, he said, had affected the East ern trade and lessened the export or tne Mexican dollar to such an extent as to threaten the Eastern colonies with a total absence of currency. In these cir cumstances the banks, the local Govern ments and the chambers of commerce had asked in concert and . obtained, the sanction of the treasury for the coinage of a British dollar., in , Bombay which would DrObably be in circulation in the East early In 1895.

The conductor says the line of the railroad has been infested with toughs for -several weeks. There were confi dence men on-his train to day and nearly every train is troubled with them. They have been at the Maryland county fairs and now are seeking other fields, giving a great deal of trouble to the train men. Within a week a dozen or more of them have boarded trains and attempted to swindle passengers. This last statement is important in its possible bearing on the arrests, as indicating that the two men in jail at Martinsburg may have other reasons- than participation in the train robbery for wishing to avoid the police. At the same time the belief is expressed confidently that the right men nave ueen caught, in the case of the Cumberland arrest the express icompany officials here believe they have a hot clue,' and they threw aside a little of; their re serve and said they were hopeful that the man captured is one of the robbers and that he knows something of the affair.

Herring, of Philadelphia, general managei of the company, who is m Washington for the purpose of managing the suit, to-night said. to a reporteri "We have got our man." Beyond that he would say noth ing.'.He refused to give the captured man's name, because, he said, it would defeat the company's purpose. JThe rob bers would read the papers and to ad vised of what was transpiring. Mr. Herring added that he was satisfied that the man arrested at Cumberland was one of the robbers. I Inspector Hollinberger thinksi that the arrested man may be Charles Q'Leary, an old 3-card montemanof Washington, who has, in the opinion of the inspector, been working the county fairs Of Mary land.

Stocks and Bonds ln New York The i Grain and Provision Markets j : of Chicago. New York, Oct. 17. Early develop ments in . the financial world rather favored those operating for higher prices fori stocks.. r To begin with. President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, was out wttn a rather cheerful interview regard ing the railroad situation; the represen tatives of the various railway associa tions in session at St. Louis were said to be more disposed to reach an amicable settlement of existing difficulties, and. finally, and, really the most important feature came in the shape of a reduction in Sterling exchange of 1 cent in the posted! rates to $4,87 and $4 88. The 6treet, and by this is meant the trading element, for the outside public is paying little attention to Stock Exchange mat ters, jumped to the conclusion that gold exports were out of the question for some time to come. At once the small bears began to cover and with the assistance of some excellent buy ing of American Sugar, prices moved up 11 to 1 per cent. The important gains were as follows: Sugar rose 1 " per cent., American To bacco , Canada Southern i. Burlington and: Quincy li, Chicago Gas 1. North western If, St. Paul 1, Rock Island 1J, Lake Shore 4, Manhattan li. New Jersey Central If, New York Central 4 and Western Union H. The improvement in Northwestern was due to covering of a long outstanding short interest. St. aul, which fell to 594 at the start on the I decrease of $224,000 for the second week of October, advanced to 60t not withstanding rumors that the loss in the third, week will approximate $250,000. The! market held well until it was an nounced that the - Baltimore and Ohio had reduced its semi annual dividend 4 per cent, to 2 per cent. This, with a re covery in Sterling exchange, led t) I realizations and prices receded to If per , cent. Sugar fell If ;to Chicago Gas, i, Rock Island f, St. Paul and Western Union - f . Baltimore and Ohio broke from 74 to 68 to 691 to 68 and also sold at 67, seller 60 days The general list closed about steady. Net changes show a gain of to 1 per cent.

JSradstreet s report of available stocks to-day was called bul lish because it showed an increase of 2,- 378.000 bushels, where tradeis in wheat had been speculating on" the hypothesis that it would give an mcrese of 5.000, 000 bushels or thereabouts. Whilst the bulk of to-day's business was transacted at prices varying from unchanged quota tions to ic decline, the closing and last hour presenting a firm tone and a gain although a slight one, over yesterday's final figures. December wheat opened from 52 to 52 to 52c, sold between DZf and oiic closed qc, a shade: over yesterday. Cash wheat trading was at steady and unchanged prices. A strong start and a similar close, with weakness intervening, describes the-changes of tone in corn during the day b session. Most of the transactions reflected the action of wheat, although higher prices at the opening were due to receipts of but seventy 'five cars, the estimate calling for 100. Firmness at Liverpool was also of some assistance to the market at the immediate stare. The shorts who covered yesterday put out their lines early to-day and later bought back with indifferent success. May corn opened at 491c, sold down to 48c to 49c, rallied to49jc to 491c, where it closed, $c higher than yesterday, uasn corn was taken readily, but no particular change in prices took place. .T a t .

A decline, followed by an ad vance, with strength,- was noted at the close. May closed Kio higher than yes terday. Cash oats were ic higher. with a hrm and' higher hog market, late reports being eyen better than the first, there was a good tone to product when early trades were executed, lhe firnntness was not lasting, however. Yes terday's buyers displayed too much anx iety to sell. The turn for the better in grain influenced provisions - along to wards the close and the early loss was entirely recovered. The close was lo higher than yesterday tor January pork, unchanged for January lard and a trifle higher for January ribs. FALLEN SO LOW. WHITE MEN INFATUATED WITH A NEQRO CANDIDATE.

The case of John James Howard, Levi Morton's coach man,' who is detained as a contract laborer, came up before Judge La combo, of the United States court tnis evening on habeas corpus, proceedings and was postponed until 3 o'cck to-morr-w. Gen. B. F. Trace and Frank H. Piatt appeared for Howard. ' The Best J ames H, Young the Leading Spirit Among Wake; County Populist s Fusion is ts Trying to. Depose Milliken The Sitnatlon as Viewed by a Leading - Democrat Origin of . the Name of Wake -County. Messenger bureau, i Raleigh. Oct. 16. Your, correspondent to-day had an interview with one of the foremost Dem ocrats in the State, who had just come in from the canvass. The latter said: ; "Fusion is not complete. It is more so4n Settle's district than in any other. Indeed it seems to me that the Republi. cans are making their whole effort to carry that district and the Eighth, Fu sion is more complete in the West .and Centre than in the East.- I think the statement true that the fusionists are getting further and further apart. I think the Legislature is Democratic by a good majority, and that we will carry the State by the usual majority, which is from 10,000 to 15,003. Wherever I have spoken the negroes let it be quite plainly understood that they are not going to support the fusion ticket." An interview was also had with Mr. T. C. Milliken, the Republican Con gressional nominee in this district. He spoke in quite an indignant way of the rumor that he had been "called down" in favor of" Stroud, the Populist, and said that State Chairman Holton wanted him to come off the ticket, but that be had repeatedly written Mr. Holton that neither the fctate nor the National com mittee could take him down: that he had been duly nominated by the party and that only the Congressional committee had any voice in the matter. Mr. Milli ken is a quiet man but determined. He is of the sturdy Quaker stock. He-began his campaign here last evening. To? day he was to have spoken at a place in this county, but news came in that his posters were not put up. It was also rumored that the fusionists had pulled down his posters, but this is not con firmed.; There appears to have been some trickery as to putting up the pest ers. Fifty of the insane were taken from the asylum to-day to see Main's circus, to their great delight. A particularly sad case was brought to the attention of Governor Carr to day. At Ridgeway a 16-year-old boy, a grand son of the distinguished William Hooper, (a signer of the Declaration of Inde pendence) suddenly became insane. The Governor was urged to recommend that he be admitted to the asylum here, and did so. In the case of the boy there was this peculiarity, that he became violently insane without any premonitory symp toms whatever. " , James H. Young, colored, is a candi date for the Legislature in this county. It is admitted that he is the ablest speaker on the fusion ticket in Wake. A man who is running on that ticket tells me that after Young f peaks the white Popu lists crowd around him, take his hand and tell him they are with him and pledge their hearty support. Mr. Robert W. Clay, a well know com mercial traveler in this State, died to day at his home at Clay, on the Durham and Northern railway, of a complication of diseases. He was very popular. The Railway Commission to-day issued the following circulars "From and after December 1, 1884, all exceptions to the standard freight and passenger tariff heretofore in effect on the Western North Carolina railway from Salisbury to Paint Reck are lepealed and the standard tariff is applied thereto." Mr. J. N. Holding of this city, presi dent of the Falls of Nuese paper mills, has purchased the plant of the paper mills at Littleton and will at once bring it to the mills at the falls, some fifteen mikes from here. During the past two years many improvements have been made at the latter mills, and much new machinery put in. For almost 100 years the people of this State have reposed belief in the pleasing tradition that Wake county was named in honor of Esther Wake, the beautiful sister-in-law of Governor Trytra, and that by the gallantry of our ancestors the name was retained when the names of Tryon, Bute and Dobbs counties were changed for more patriotic appellations. iconoclasts have now arisen and deny that Esther Wak e ever existed and assort that the whole tradition is a myth. Much has been written about it. On application to Judge Walter Clark your correspondent learns that he has already written Mr. Noel Sainsbury, who has so long represented North Carolina in the public records office in London, request ing him to open correspondence with the head of tho Tryon family and learn the truth of tne Esther Wake matter. Ad miral Tryon, who last year went down with his battleship, the Victoria, in the Mediterranean, was a grandson of Gov ernor Tryon. Judge Clark is also en deavoring through the same medium to open communication with the representa tives of Governor Josiah Martin, the last royal Governor of North Carolina. He thinks that in the private papers Of Gov ernors Tryon and Martin there may be 1 1 1 1 l a 1 a 1 m i-.T 1 1 vaiuaoje masoncai material ior jixorin Carolina, and possibly in Governor Martin's papers something which will throw additional light on the immortal "Mecklenburg Declaration." A prominent cotton farmer ' tells me that the crop on clay lands he finds to be about 13 per cent, better than last years, while on sandy lands the crop is the same as last year. . His farm is mainly clay land and he will get a bale to the acre. The yield on clay land is certainly good,' Picking is very slow. Labor is hard to get. ! - There were twelve general agents of l fe insurance companies at the meeting here to form an association for North and Sonth Carolina Col. John B. Cary, of Richmond, was temporary president. The permae. t officers, are Carey J. Hunter, president; S. ; D. Wait, vice- president; W. M. Russ, secretary, all these being of Raleigh. The executive committee is composed of W, J. Roddy, of Rock HUI, S. Ci? John B. Cary, John C. Drewry, of Raleigh; 8, L, Miller, of Greensboro, and J , IX Church, of Char lotte. The association will join the United States association. Governor Carr is asked to offer rewards for four prisoners who troke out of jail at Marshall on the 0th instant. Two are convicted of murder i and two are charged with that crime. Advertisement el to : - . . . -- neCCM Will M urt in th ul.i . .
