SECOND SENSATION
IS SPRUNG TO-DAY
NEAR LEXINGTON
Excitement of Yesterday Over
KiHmg of Foreman Eubanks bji
Negro Intensified this Morning
by Open Threat ot Arother Ne
gro to Kill Foreman Bueler.
Buei p r and Posse Chased Negro
and Finally Succeeded in Cap
turing Him. Taken to Sheriff's
Office. Excitement Intense.
Chase ot Negro Gaddy Fruitless.
Lexington, Oct. B.—The excitement
yesterday over the murder of Foreman
Eubanks had barely cooled before it
was fanned into white heat this morn
ins; bv another negro of the camp open
!v"threatening to kill Foreman Bueler,
cue of the best men on the road. Mr.
Bueler heard of the theats and imme
diately went for the negro, who ran
and a large posse immediately pur
sued.
The fugitive had run into the home
of Mr. David S. Conrad, frightening his
family, who dared not protest against
his entering the house. Word was sent
to the crowd, who lost the scent and in
a few minutes the negro was safe in
the sheriff's qffice.
The two incidents coming so close
together have not brought about a
pleasant situation here.
Pursuit of the negro Gaddy yester
day ended in failure at nightfall. All
thrace of him was lost. The blood
hound failed to make good. There is
where the negro got the start and es
caped. The whole country side joined
in the pursuit. Farmers afoot, horse
back and in vehicle armed with all
sorts of weapons joined the regular
posse until there must have been a
thousand men scouring the woods.
Time and again the trace of the ne
gro's bare toot was seen in the soft
earth. Once or twice the officials ac
tually got around in front of the fu
gitive. turned back and missed him.
The better class cf colored people
here are loud in their denunciations of
ttese criminals and go beyond the
whites in their desire that summary
punishment be administered. They say
that these outbreaks make trouble for
then and include the innocent with the
guilty in the opinion of the white peo
ple.

PACIFICATION OF CUBA.
Is Now Practically Complete Through
out Island With Exception of Santa
Clara.
Havana, Oct. 8. —The reports re
ceived by the provisional government
show that the pacification of Cuba is
practically complete with the excep
tion of the province of Santa Clara,
v/here matters are rapidly nearing
settlement.
The only trouble known to exist is
at Alquizar, a province of Havana,
hut it is believed the 30 rural guards
there will be able to keep peace.
A closer examination of rifles sur
sendered by the insurgents shows
very few of them are fit for anything
but the scrap heap.

GREAT SCABCITY OF
IABOR IK MILLS
Cotton Mills in Rhode Island in
Great Need of More Laborers.
In Some Mills Many Looms
Idle for Lack of Operatives.
The Situation.
Providence, R. 1., Oct. 8. —The cot
ton mills agents in Rhode Island com
plain of the scarcity of help in some
Departments and assert that in this
respect the increase in wages grant
ed early last summer did not have
the beneficial result hoped for.
The increase has not thus far
drawn hack a sufficient number of
those who left the mills when the
wages, were lowered and when there
was dissatisfaction among the work
men—for other reasons.
In some mills, at the present, more
iooms are stopped than has been the
case heretofore in the history of the
industry in this State.
In one large mill there are said to
bo COO looms idle while a few years
f.go the number of applicants for
work exceeded the demand. A fifth
of the looms in another large mill are
said to be stopped for want of opera
tives. This scarcity of labor has
brought about keen competition
among the mill officials in offering in
ducements to families of workers to
become permanent help and foreman
rnd second handfe are employed con
stantly in looking for new hands.
In some instances the expense of
;emoving the families and their house
hold belongings from one village to
s nother has been paid by the mill
management, so eager are they to
secure experienced hands, who can
be depended on to remain perma
iently.
