Commercial Work a Specialty E. L. Tate, Printer and Stationer, Greensboro, N. C RICHARD COHEN WORE. His Condition Changed Again And He flay Die. Uichai-d Cohen, who was suffering yesterday from the effects of a blow received while trying to escape from policeman Scott a few days ago. waked up this morning feeling better and was able to eat bis breakfast after being raised up on his pallet. Two other negro prisoners were put in the cell to watch him yes terday much against their wishes, but tbey attsnded him like nurses. About 10 o'clock this morning, however, Richard grew worse again and sud denly straightenhig himself on his pal let, I'limhed his fists and teeth His two attendants were frightened out of their wits, and began yelling- at the top of their voices that "this nigger's dyinV Then every negro in jail im mediately took it up, and if the fellow had been conscious would probably have taken part in the cries. Deputy Sheriff Davis and the jailer ran up to the cell and seeing his con dition Mr. Davis summoned Dr. Led better at once Nothing could be done for Cohen, however, as no medicine could be ta ken. Dr. Led better thinks that blood has clotted in Cohen's head and that he can live but a little while. It is thought that he will have convulsions and the end will soon follow. Officer Scott is much troubled over the condition of the negro for though he would have been amply justified in killing him, he would not like to take a man's life under any condition. Mr. Scott seems to be the only one who sees any anxiety over the negro's con dition, for the general opinion is that the officer should have killed him dur ing the fight, for had the negro freed his right hand he would doubtless have killed the officer. HIS SEMI-ANNUAL TEAR. And The Same Old Gun Did The Shooting. A certain young man who lives in South Greensboro has a way of get ting drunk about every six months and though his tears are far between be usually makes up for lost time for he tears up everything available. During his six months of soberness he saves nearly all of a neat income, but one week of drunkenness and it is gone. He has a good gun which he always shoots when drunk. Last year he was out on a lark and when he saw a policeman coming to arrest him, he blazed away at the bluecoat. But his aim was very Spanish and the shot went wild. Soon after this he sobered up and began to save money as he never had before for a term on the county roads seemed almost inevit able. Influential frieDds saved him however, but the judge told the young man if he ever came up again he would get the full benefit of the sen tence. Yesterday afternoon he began a tear and last night about 11 o'clock he got his gun and proceeded to wake up the inhabitants. He fired several shots and retired. Early this morning he was out again armed to the teeth, a belt of cartridges, gun, Bask, and everything used in modern warfare, signifying his intention to ;shoo's more." A few hours 1 ater he came up the street accompanied by two policemen Wa He Mad? A dog on Monday evening last was killed in the dry goods store of S. G. Hodgin & Co, by Mr. Jeffreys, a health officer of the city. The dog rushed into the store. The people be gan yelling, look out! danger! close your doors! mad dog! As soon as the alarm was given Mr. Jeffreys appeared, and quick as a flash, silenced all the trouble by firing1 two pistol shots into the dog. The ladies and all those in the store climbed on the counters and went up stairs anywhere to seek safety. A lady riding a bicycle said the dog snapped at her twice. About Transfers.

ENGINEER WOULDN'T STOP, But a Few Shots Made Him "Heave To " THE ILLINOIS MINING TROUBLE. In the Event flore Negroes Are Rushed In, Bloodshed Will Most Certainly Result. By Wire to Ths Telegram. Virden, 111., Oct. 14. The north bound freight struck a torpedo on the track, placed there by soldiers, this morning, but the engineer refused to stop. A few shots in the direction of the engine stopped him, and the train was quickly searched, but no impo-ted negro miners were found. It is feared the negroes may be rushed in some time today. In that event bloodshed seems certain. Man ager Lukins is etill inside the mining company '8 stockade, fuily realizing that he will be shot if he attempts to leave. IN A QUANDARY Springfield 111., Oct. 14 The ne groes from from Alabama who were sent to take the place of the miners are still here. The miners and state officials are in a quandary to know what to do with them. The troops are still on guard. MERRITT TO THOMPSON. Let's Make Him Some Appoint ments. On Wednesday last our townsman, I. W. Merritt, happened to be in Le noir, and after selling his usual amount of goods, he learned Dr. Cyrus Thomp son was to make a speech, and he went out to hear him. He sat and listened patiently to the Dr.'s exaggerations uDtil he finally made the statement that here was not a county in North Carolina in which there were not negro road overseers, appointed by demo crats. This Mr. Merritt could not stand, and rising to his feet he inter rupted the Dr. in the midst of his speech with the following words : You will have to except good old Guilford 'rom that list. Dr." Dr. : "Well, then, that is the only county in the state in which there are none." Merritt : "Well, do you endorse the appointment of cegroes to this po sition ?" Dr. : "No, most assuredly, no." Merritt: "Well, then, what are you mouthing about?" And with Mr. Merritt we would like to inquire what the Dr. is mouthing about. Oh, the Vile Stuff I The biildings of the Union Theolog ical Seminary at Richmond, Va.,were dedicated October 5th. We notice that one of the buildings is named Watts Hall, and that Dr. G. W. Finley, President of the board of trustees, "most h artily thanked Mr. G. W. Watts, of Durham, for his princely gift to the church and to God." Mr. Watts is a member of the American Tobacco Company, and according to those people who have berated and abu-ed Trinity College, the Theologi cal Seminary is educating its young: ministers with corrupt money. We call attention in t'.is particular to the fact that Elizabeth College at Charlotte is also a beneficiary to a large extent of Mr. Watts' magnificent generosity, and that even the young ladies are being educated on money that is "tainted " We think after reading these two items the bewilderment of good Dr. Yates, of Durham, will be greater than ever. There is not an individual or a church or a society or anything ele in the country which would not accept a gift of 1100,000 from the American Tobacco Company, corrupt and vile as they say it is, and the pious people who think the trustees of Trinity Col lege should give back the money would be the quickest to jump at such an offer. Concord Times. The Dog ami Pony Show. The American Dog and Pony show arrived this morning and spread their tents on Davie street near McAdoo's stables. They an. showing this after noon to a fair crowd. A short street parade started at the tent at noon to day and paraded several streets. They are said to have about forty dogs and a goodly number of ponies, goats, monkeys and other animals.

Whenever that poor coward will reply to us over his own signature in stead of putting his name among the prominent people who were present and signing his poor, nauseating aiess of rot and lies "One Who Was Pres ent," we will gladly prove every statement that we made except the one regarding the flag which we corrected yesterday. As to anybody going home drunk. That is a lie. riaj. Stedman Invited. The people of Wilmington, his old home, have extended a pressing invi tation to Maj. Charles M. Stedman, ex-Lieut. Governor, now of Greens boro, to deliver a democratic speech in that city soon, and upon his ex pressing the fear that business engage ments might prevent, have repeated the invitation in an even more urgent manner than at .first. The people of Raleigh would be glad if the Major could so arrange m altera as to stop over in Raleigh and enthuse the dem ocrats of this town with one of the magnificent speeches which it is his custom to make. The writer remem bers a speech delivered by Governor Stedman in Winston during the Fowle- Dockery campaign of 1888, which sur passed any speech heard in that town during that memorable campaign. The audience arose to their feet as one man at times and by the spontaneous out bursts of applause kept the speaker 4 i lent for minutes several times during its delivery, and at its close several citizens picked the speaker up bodily carried him around on their shoulders amid the most thunderous applause. One witness such scenes only once or twice in a life time. Forsyth went democratic that year, too. Morning Post. Dr. Dodson Dead. Special to The Tklbgram. Reidsville, N. C, Oct. 14. Dr. D. R.

October 13 Three negro magistrates have been ap pointed by the republican superior court clerk of this county, and one ne gro registrar, each in the first and fifth wards and two in the fourth of this town. The negroes are demand ing official positions of the white ma chine managers. The better class of white republicans are deserting the sinking hnlk like so many rats. Con servative estimates are being given out by close calculators among the republicans, which concede the defeat of Skinner for congress. Schenck as a Roaster. The way D. Schenck, Jr , peeled the hide off the republican speakers, Wal ter and McCrary, at Oak Ridge, was a caution. Those who heard it say it was most scathing and withering. To the end of time we presume there will always be people who are foolish enough to monkey with a buzz saw.

REPORTS A LITTLE CONFLICTING French Arms Are Said to Have Suf fered a Serious Check and Were Forced to Retreat With Loss. By Cable The TkIxgb.au. Paris, Oct. 14 The Politique Colo niale today publishes a dispatch from the Ivory coast of Upper Guinea say ing that the French arms have received a serious check. A column of Tir aillears, which had been dis patched to suppress the rising of Bourboury8 were forced to retreat with a loss of seven killed and ten wound ed. The . Bourbourys, according to the dispatch, are preparing to march upon Jacqueville, where a number of French trading factories have been es tablished. TO OVERTHROW THE MINISTRY. London, Oct. 14 A Pa-is dispatch to the Local News Agency says that letters and documents written by a general holding a high position have been intercepted, which it is said, leaves no doubt about the intention of that officer to bring about an over throw of the ministry. A pronunciamento, it seems, was to be issued Oct. 15, which would have the effect of a seizure of the civil gov ernment by the military authorities. When Brisson was warned last night of the existence of the conspiracy he said the news coincided with prior in formation received from private sources. It is announced, that in consequence of these relations, General Chanoine will not leave Paris as he intended. On the other hand, a dispatch -from Paris to the Globe, says inquiry at the home office shows the report of the ex istence of a military conspiracy against the ministry is unfounded.
