At Least io Lives Sacrificed and 40 People Injured. Two Party Conventions intervention 8eemg Inevitable Kick Against New Spelling Explosion of Car of Dy namite Jones' Advice to Bryan. Bids For Panama Laborers. Twenty-four hours have passed Ince a race war of no mean propor tions began In Atlanta. In that per iod at least 10 lives wore sacrificed. The number of Injured will be just 40, several of whom cannot recover. This condition came as the result of numerous and repeated assaults or at tempted assaults upon white women by negroes. A list of an even dozen such assaults, within the limits of Fulton county, within the last nine weeks, came Saturday when four at tempts at assault were reported. About 10 o'clock a negro man shoved a white woman from the sidewalk on Whitehall street, in the center of town. Almost simultaneously a negro woman made an Insulting remark to a white man on an adjoining street and ho administered what he considered due punishment. From this start tho mob began Its work of destruction. Five thousand men and boys thronged the downtown streets looking for negroes. News that a riot had started brought thous ands more from their homes In the suburbs and residence districts, until fully 10,000 men thronged the down town sections. The trolleys were pulled from tho wires and In the semi-darkness of the unllghted cars negroes were beaten, cut and stamped upon In an unreason tug, mad freny. If a negro ventured resistance or remonstrated It meant practically sure death. One car, half filled with negroes, approached from an outside run. The mob dashed for the car. Resistance was made by tho nogroes, who had not been apprised of trouble. Three negroes lay dead on the floor of the car when It was per mitted to move on, and two more were beaten unconscious. The city is now controlled by tho police aided by nearly 1,000 of the state militia. Every part of the town Is patrolled by soldiers and the author ities seem to have the situation well in hand. Governor Terrell stands ready to doclaro the city under martial law If the scenes of Saturday night are re peated. Two Party Conventions. Two exciting contests for party con trol were formally opened this week when the state conventions of the Democrats at Buffalo and the Repub licans at Saratoga met Tuesday. In terest In the Democratic gathering is centered in the movement on the part of a number of delegates to demand the nomination of William R. Hearst for governor. So far It Is not known what the New York county delegation, 103 strong, will do In this respect, Charles F. Murphy, lender of Tammany Hall having declined to indicate whether he favors the Hearst indorsement. State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, Democratic leader In Brooklyn, has como out for Supreme Court Justice Gaynor and Congressman Timothy D. Sullivan of Tammany has declared for Congressman Sul.er. There Is also a strong movement for the nomination of Mayor Adam of Buf falo. In the Republican ranks the main question Is whether Governor Hlgglns desires a renomlnatlon. It Is general ly believed since last Tuesday's pri maries, In which former Governor Odell lost control of tho party, that Governor HIggins can have a renom lnatlon if he wants it. He Is expect ed to make a statement of his posi tion on the subject today. Following the convention a state chairman will be selected to succeed Mr. Odell. Intervention Seems Inevitable. Peace for Cuba, unless accomplished through American Intervention, seems to be further away than when Secre tary of War Taft and Assistant Secre tary of State Bacon began negotia tions to harmonize the opposing fac tions. The arrival of three of tho largest United States battleships and two cruisers besides those already in llavuna has had little effect ou tho In surgents In the field, and when the leaders of tho revolution were ap prised of the big squadron now In Cuban waters they greeted the In formation with Spanish expressions to tfie effect that "they cannot como to the bush." Secretary Taft has cabled to Presi dent Roosevelt regarding the gravity of the situation and Mr. Roosevelt Is expected to dictate the future pro gram of his commissioners. Warships Ready to Land Men. Although the situation in Cuba has not Improved since the arrival of Sec retary Tnft and has, if anything, be come more serious, the secretary has not given up hopo that a peaceable settlement may be found without dis turbing Cuban Independence. The secretary, however, has not so far an. liounced his plans and the action hi', will take probably depends on the at tltude of the Moderate and Libera'. leaders Avlthln the next few days. Pending a settlement of the insur rection, the American warships In Ha vnna harbor are ready to land men, In addition to those now on shore, up to the number of 4,000 If necessary, (o protect American lives and property Kicks Against New Spelling. William Barrett Ridgely, comptrol ler of the currency, is the nrat gov ernment officer at Washington to take a firm sUmd against tho pres ident's new order for simplified spell ing. Mr. Ridgely can afford to be In dependent, even If he were not natur ally so. He was reappointed a few days ago for a term of five years, and under the statute he cannot be re moved. He will outlive tl e present administration officially by nearly three years. Mr. Ridgely received n consignment of printed matter in which his ofTlcial title had been modified from "Comp troller" to "Controller," to conform to the new rule of simplified spelling. He refused to accept the revision and, armed with a copy of the revised statutes, called on Acting Secretary of the Treasury Keep. Mr. Ridgely took his stand upon the statutes, declaring that the law creating his office ought to be the highest authority as to the proper spelling. Later Robert J. Tracewell, comptroller of the treasury, took the same view and Insisted that his own official title should not be "simplified." The Interstate commerce commis sion adopted the new order without ex ception. Explosion of a Car of Dynamite. Twelve deaths, the Injuring of scores of other persons and $500,000 damage to property were caused at Jelllco, Tenn., on Friday when a carload of dynamite standing on a track near the Southern railway depot exploded with a report that was heard for 20 miles. Buildings were shattered In the business section and nearly every piece of glass within a radius of one mile was broken. Two causes are assigned for the ex plosion. One Is that three parties were shooting at a mark oh the car and that a bullet entered tho car and caused the explosion. The other Is that while the car was standing on a side track a carload of pig iron was switched against It and that the Im pact caused the explosion. Broome County Centennial. Rain badly Interfered with what would have been the greatest par ade lu the history of ntnghauitoii on Thursday. This was to be the principal feature of the Broome county centen nial and carnival. As It, was It was one of the best parades ever formed there, although the line or march was great ly curtailed. The grand display of fireworks that was to have been given was postponed until Saturday night. One of the largest crowds ever in the city assembled In spite of the rain, all Incoming trains on all roads were crowded. The centennial except for the postponed fireworks closed with the Mardi Gras parade and the carni val ball Thursday evening. Gibson and Jackson Get Five Years. Byron D. Gibson and William B. Jackson, former supervisors or Erie county, who were convicted at War saw, N. V., on Friday night on a charge of bribery In connection with the North street cemetery scandal. were Saturday sentenced by Justice Lambert to five years each in Auburn prison. A stay was granted until a week from today In order to give the attorneys for the defense an oppor tunity to draw up the necessary papers for an .application for a certifi cate of reasonable doubt. Just what justice the application will be made before has not been decided upon. Jones' Advice to Bryan. Ex-Senator James K. Jones of Ar kansas, who was twice chairman of the national Democratic committee and manager of both the enmpaigns for the presidency of William Jennings Bryan, has written to Mr. Bryan ad vising him strongly to drop the subject of government ownership of railroads and to take a firm stand In favor ot an enforcement of tho law that Is now on tbe statute books. Bids For Chinese Labor. Four bids were received at the isthmian canal commission in Wash' lngton for supplying Chinese la bor. The Americnn-Chlna Contracting company pf Englewood, N. J., offered to supply common labor at 10c per hour and Joel Julian Rueben of Wash lngton, who bid 11 cents for the same, offered to reduce it to cents u ia, 000 men were called for. No award has been made. Five Prisoners Escaped. Keepers and guards of the Ononda ga county penitentiary, located at Jamesvllle, five miles from Syracuse, are scouring tbe country between that place and Cortland In search of five prisoners who made a successful uasn for freedom while at work in the pen itentiary stone quarries late Saturday afternoon. Gets 50 Years and a Whipping. Charles Conley, the negro who at tacked and seriously injured Mrs Beatrice Franklsh and her daughter, Miss Gussie Leitch, on h public road 10 days ago, near Wilmington, Del. was sentenced to 50 years' imprison ment and to receive 110 lashes at tho whipping post. The prisoner will bf whipped next Saturday. Jockey Killed In Gravesend Race. Jockey Bertrand Fielshou was In stantly killed and Jockey C. Ross sus tained a fracture of the skull as a re sult of an accident In the fifth race at Gravesend Friday. Little G. Burns, who also fell, escaped Injury. Largest Court House In the World.. Vice President Charles W. Fair banks on Friday laid the corner Btone of. Chicago's new county building, which Is to be the largest courthouse in tho world. THEGOVERKOR REFUSES Not Many Candidates For Re publican Nomination. HUGHES AND BRUCE PROMINENT. State Senator Edgar T. Brackett Ac tive -Hughes It Backed Especially by Congressman Parson, Who Last Week Won a Notable Victory In the New York Primaries. Saratoga, Sept. 25. "Up In the air" Is the answer most frequently given to questions concerning the guberna torial nomination of the Republican state convention. The refusal of Gov ernor Hlgglns to accopt a renomlna tlon lins unsettled things and now all efforts are being put forth by the leaders to form new lines, to make re adjustments and to secure a ticket which can be nominated by acclama tion. Harmony Is being preached and harmony means a "slate" without a disturbance In the convention, such as would be created by several ballots for governor. And yet there are not many an nounced candidates. Lieutenant Gov ernor M. Linn Bruco Is here and an active candidate. His chief competi tor is Charles E. Hughes, but he is not here and Is not an avowed candi date. State Senator Edgnr T. Brack ett of Saratoga has the most pro nounced evidences of candidacy In sight, with lithographs, placards, por trait buttons and badges. There are several In the "men tioned" class, among these being for mer Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff, Elihu Root, United States secretary of state; former Governor Frank S. Black, Congressman Herbert Parsons, who last week won a victory In the New York county primaries; Andrew S. Draper of Albany, state commissioner of education; Mayor Cutler of Rochester and Judge Hls cock of the court of appeals. The contest, If there Is a contest, Is between Bruce and Hughes. Both are from New York county but the strong support of Bruce comes from up-state leaders, from the men who rallied around Governor Hlgglns and made possible tho defeat of ex-Governor Odell. Among these men there Is an opposi tion to Hughes which seriously Im pairs his chances of receiving the nomination. They are the men who do not know what would happen If a man like Hughes should be nominat ed. He has not been so long In the political field that, the politicians can take his measure. They say he is not known up the state, however strong he may he In New York city. The country delegates may not all think this, but the delegates are often per suaded to take the judgment of the leaders In these matters. Hughes Is backed especially by Parsons and It Is his strongest asset. Parsons is not only fresh from a dashing victory In New York but more recently from a visit to Oyster Bay and It Is believed that he would hardly be pushing the Hughes boom unless It was agreeable to the national admin istration. The Odell delegates In the New York delegation will be likely to vote for him, as he wns at one time con sidered Odell'a choice and possibly the Odell delegates up-state would be for him. The mention of Parsons as a candi date may be made in this connection and can be traced to some of his en thusiastic admirers, who, having re cently fought beside him In New York, believe that he could duplicate his great victory throughout the state In the fall elections If he were nt the head of the ticket. But Mr. Parsons disposes of the matter by saying that he Is not a candidate and that talk of him Is Inadvisable. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION Lewis Nixon, Former Leader of Tam many Hall, Temporary Chairman. Buffalo, Sept. 23. Lewis Nixon of New York city, a former leader of Tammany Hall, was last night chosen as temporary chairman of tho Demo cratic state convention, the first ses sion of which will be called to order here nt noon today. Mr. Nixon was chosen without opposition nt a meet ing of the Democratic stale commit tee. He Is a delegate to the conven tion from tho district of Charles F. Murphy, the present, leader of the Tammany Hall organization. Mr. Nixon was agreed upon as tem porary chairman at a conference held late yesterday at which were present representatives of most of tho warring factious In the state Democracy, and his selection by the Btute committee was In the nature of a ratification of the conference decision. The naming of Mr. Nixon" as tem porary chairman is regarded as clarl rVing the sll nation to some extent, though none of the factions will admit that his select Inn menus even a tem porary setback to their cnuso. The former Tammany leader Is claimed by tho advocates of William Randolph Hearst to be friendly to their candi date for the governorship. The temporary chairman, has, how ever, mad o no public declaration of hln position. In his speech to the con vention he undoubtedly will make a plea for harmony and there were evi dences that every effort is to bo made to have harmony and there is a spirit of give and take In the air. How far snme of the more radical elements will go In this direction remains to bo seen. FOUR DEAD IN COLLISION. Express and Baggage Car Telescoped Into the Smoker. Minneapolis, Sept. 25. Four aro dead and 15 or more are injured as a resist ot a rear-end collision of a pas senger ttraln and a switch engine In the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad yards at New Prague, Minn., 40 miles south of Minneapolis, yesterday. The dead; D. D. Deniarais, Minne apolis, salesman; F. E. Brown, St. Paul, salesman; Georgo E. Klinker fuss, St. Paul, salesr an; Frank Wra beck, New Prague. The most sehlously hurt are: David Green, residence unknown, reported dying; Thomas McDonald, Minneapo lis, engineer on switch engine, hurt In ternally and cut on head; C. L. Klaiue, Minneapolis, lineman, hurt In ternally. The accident is said to have been caused by a switching engine In the yards running onto the main track oa the time of the passenger train, which was about 15 minutes late. Botfi engineers jumped when they saw that the crash was Inevitable. One engineer escaped and the other broke his collar iione. All the express and mall messengers escaped unhurt. Apparently the pas sengers In the smoking cur were the only ones hurt. The express and bag gage car telescoped iuto the smoker and practically every person In the car received some injury. Miss Myrtfc Wlnton of Minneapolis and Miss Goldie Worrell of Marshall- town, la., (fid splendid work in ring for tho injured. They were passengers ci the triln an'd when th. crash came at once set about work. They tore their skirts Into strips for use as bandages and seemed to be everywhere that aid was needed. Seeks Champion of All Hens. Washington, Sept. 25. Who owns the champion egg-layer of all hens? This question Is raided by the Agri cultural department through the tem porary awarding of the prize to a fowl possessed by a worthy citizen of Alexandria, Va. The award is sub Ject to revision and later returns may deprive the proud Alexandrian of his laurels. The Virginia champion has since October 5, 1905, 291 eggs to her credit and before the close of the -ar will cross the 300 mark. Ex clusive of the moulting season the hen has laid an egg every twenty-five hours. Bailey's Foes Cannot Agree. Dallas, Texas, Sept. 25. The oppon ents of United States Senator Bailey have so far been unable to Evttle upon any candidate to put aralnst him be fore the legislature In January next Former Attorney General M. M. Crane of Dallas, former United States Sena tor Horace Chilton, also' of Dallas and Railroad Commissioner O. B Colquitt of Terrell are mentioned None of these has Indicated a will ingness to contest with Bailey. Mr Colquitt last night said: "I am not running." MARKET RSPOnT.
