3AJSTOKE, VA., SU]
MAN HUNT IN ALEXANDRIA.
Looking lor a Negro Who Attacked
a White Woman.
Alexandria, May 1.?The people of Al?
exandria are excited anew to-night over a
hold attempt to commit a criminal as?
sault. Mrs. George HoiiKh Avas sitting in
the front door of her home, oti North Col?
umbus street, about ,10 o'clock when a
colored man came out of the alley adjoin?
ing the house, seized Mrs. Hough by the
wrist, and with n quick wrench threw
her down. She'scrcamed for help, and
the negro fled through the alley. Re?
membering that the rear door of the
house was open and fearing an attack
from that direction, Mrs .Hough ran to
close it. She secured a revolver as she
pnssed thrsugh che house, amidmost for
tuuately too, as she was met at the rear
donr by the same negro who had attacked
her a moment before.
Before Mrs. Hough could shoot, tb*
negro caught hold of her aud threw her
down. An instaut later she tired a shot
which went wild, but which frightened
her assailant, and he ran out of the door.
Mrs. Hough fired a second and third time
as the neuro scaled the fence, but it is not
thought that either of the bullets took
effect.
The only person in the house with Mrs.
Hough at the time was a young boy, who
ran down the street when he heard the
sliots to summon help. Three gentlemen
who had been standing on the corner, re?
sponded to the boy's cries, and were the
first to reach the house. Mrs Hough
was found unconscious. She had swooned
from fright after having bravely defended
herself and put her assailant to Might.
The police were notified of the occur?
rence, and a search was at once made for
the fugitive. It was some time, however,
before Mrs. I lough was able to give the
particulars of the attack on her and a de?
scription of the negro. Her condition
bordered on the hysterical, the terrible
experience and injuries she had received
having unnerved her She rallied after a
time, however, and was able to tell Lieut.
Smith that the negro was about six feet
in height, and wore an old beaver bat.
She was certain thnt she would bo able
to recognize him should lie be captured.
A crowd soon gathered in front of the
house, and threats were freely made that
the perpetrator, if caught, would be. dealt
with summarily, the fact that McCoy's
lynching only last week seemed to have no
deterrent effect in serving to arouse ttse
public anger to a higher pitcli than ever.
Many citizens joined the police in the
searcli for Mrs. Hough's assailant, but at
a late hour no trace of him had been
found.
It is surmised that the negro was ac
nsainted with the locality aud tho house
where the attempted assault took place.
He doubtless knew that Mrs. Hnuuh's
husband was employed at night in Wash?
ington, aii'i that she was alone except for
the presence in the house of a young boy
from whom he had nothing to fear.
EDITORS FIGHT.

at Bedford City.
Bedford City, Vn., May 1.?-The Dem?
ocrat, in its issue of Thursday morning
contained an article in which it designa?
ted the editor of the Bulle till as a card

Mr. H. Black, the editor of the Bulle?

o'clock that afternoon, and asked him if
he held himself responsible for the ar?

that he did, Black bestowed on him a
very insulting epithet. Harrison struck
at Black, but missed him.
Then Black struck Harrison a blow
that staggered him, and before he could
recover himself, landed another that
knocked him down. On Harrison's at?
tempting to rise, Black caught his bead
under one arm, and pounded him dili?
gently with thoother fist.
They were separated and Harrison
struck his one blow while Black was be?
ing held by bystander. Both were ar?
rested and fined.

A JUST
RETRIBUTION.
Six Negroes Lynched by a Mob of
Their Own Color.
BLOODHOUNDS PUT ON THEIR
TRAIL AND ONE BY ONE THE
PERPETRATORS OP A TRIPLE
MURDER IN TEXAS ARE TRACK?
ED DOWN?CONFESSED TO THE
CRIME AND QUICKLY PUT ^TO
DEATH?A SEVENTH MEMBER OF
THE GANG MISSING.
Houston, Tex., May 1.?For the mur?
der of an old man in his dotage, a child in
its nonage, and a woman in the (irst Hash
of young womanhood, I ho ravishment of
two girls, tho burning of the home of
their victims, two of the bodies being
consumed in the (lames, six youug ne?
groes were last night sent to their doom
by the Hands of nu infuriated mob of ne?
groes, the victims also being negroes, at
Sunnyside, Walter county.
Last fall a German from Brenhum was
robbed of ?(i-"i. Suspicion pointed to tho
four Thomas boys, and they confessed to
having committed the theft, saying they
hail given ?30 of the money to Henry
Daniels. Daniels spent the money, and
on Sunday evening last tho four Thomas
boys, according to their confession, de?
cided to either collect their $"10 or kill
Daniels.
They carried out the latter part of the
programme. Henry Daniels, an old ne?
gro, lived there in a little hut, with his
step-daughter, Marie, and a seven year
old child. Wednesday night the house
I was broken open, Marie Daniels and the
seven-year-old child were ravished, and
the old man Daniels clubbed to death,
trying to protect those in his charge.
Then old man Daniels and his step?
daughter were thrown into tho house and
the child thrown into the well. The house
was set, on fire and the perpetrators of
the crime left, thinking they bad covered
their Inhuman deed from the sight of the
world.
Tho fire had not attracted much atten?
tion, but when Danielsand his people did
not show up the charred ruins of the
house were searched, and the terrible
truth was soon only too plain. The
burned remnants of human bodies left no
doubt in one diiectiou. whlta tho blood
stains about tho premises indicated the
commission of murder.
The local onicers went.to work with a
will, and were ably assisted by the beat
citizens of the neighborhood. The blood?
hounds from Steele's plantation were se?
cured and they were not long in finding
the right track. Before night they went
straight into the place where tho Thomas
boys resided, and. one by one, they were
secured. Fayette Rhone, '21 years old;
Will dates, 115 years old; Louis Thomas,
20 years old; Aaron Thomas, Kl years old;
Jim Thomas, 14 years old, and Benny
Thomas. 15 years old, were placed under
arre*t. The last four are brothers. Later
on Will Williams was captured. When
taken they were smeared with blood, and
a bloody shirt was found bidden in Rich?
mond's house.
The bloodhounds worked splendidly,
and after the boys were confronted with
the evidence they owned to committing
the. crime, and laid the ki'ling to Louis,
the n'dest.
All seven of the prisoners were under
guard last night about 12 o'clock, when
the guards were overpowered by a strong
body of men. and the prisoners taken to?
ward the Brazos bottom, north of here.
A little later forty or fifty shots were
fired, and all was quiet.
This morning dangling from the limbs
of a lnree tree, were found the bodies of
the six negroes, limp and lifeless. Hun?
dreds of people from all over the country
are surging back and forth, with the tree
as the center of attraction. All of them
are still there, except Williams, and he.
is not to be found, but the shots probably
explain his absence.
At a late hour this evening the bodies
are still hanging from the tree. As far as
can be learned, the mob was composed of
white and black men, with the colored
element largely predominating. Tonight
there is a calm after the storm, and pub
He opinion is almost universal that if the
right parties were apprehended no harm
has been done.

RIOTS IN CHINA.
Coolies Start into Burn the City of
Shanghai.
Tacomn, Wash., May 1.?The following
Chinese ml vi cos have been received here:
At Shanghai on April 5 one thousand
striking coolies precipitated a riot and
started in to burn the city and assault
the local militia. The civic authorities
called out the volunteer soldiers to the
number of 5,000 and signaled several war?
ships in the harbor to send the marines
ashore. Very promptly parties were
landed from the United States warship
Monacacy and the British warships Liu
net and Plover.
Heavy guards wero posted at the Brit?
ish and American consulates, the central
police station and other important posts,
while the volunteers hurried to their as?
sembly posts fully armed.
The three companies of infantry were
ssigned to guard the bridges. Tho Light
Horse Cavalry Company rendered valua?
ble aid in patrolliug anil the artillery
company drew up its guns on the cuthre
dral campus
This prompt action of the authorities
alarmed the rioting coolies, who made
one attempt to form in line ami face the
marines and volunteer?. One volley di?
rected at their shins caused them to flee,
leaving several wounded in the streets.
That evening a large gathering of the
rioters began stoning a company of Ger?
man troops on duty at the bridge across
Yong King l'ang river. Reinforcements
were brought up and a charge made, re?
sulting in driving the rioters into the
French town. They took refuge in iso?
lated houses and the lenders were ar?
rested. The fire companies were kept
busy all night extinguishing Ores set by
the rioters.
The strike was occasioned by an increse
of locil taxes imposed on the laborers by
the Shnghiu municipal council.Tho coolies,
were urged to resist by several Chinese
agitators who declared they could win by
holding out.

Washington, May 1.?Notwithstanding
the general understanding that Speaker
Heed does not regard with favor the prop?
osition to consider the bankruptcy hill at
this session ot Congress, Representative
Bailey announced to-day that he will
make an effort to get the measure before
the 1 louse.
If Mr. Reed's objection to tho bill
arises from bis unwillingness to appoint

the bill should be considered under u spe?

without reference to the Judiciary com?

THE f All
Secretary Gage Will Make a Ree
ommendation to Congress.
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREAS- /
URY IS IN FAVOR OF REDUCING
THE TAX ON WHISKEY AND IN- %
CREASING THAT ON BEER?IT IS
SAID TO BE A MOVE TO PRE?
VENT THE ILLICIT DISTILLING '
? . ? .1.
OF SPIRITS IN THE SOUTH, SAID .>
TO BE BEYOND CONTROL.
Washington. May 1.?It is very .'proh i?
bit' that the Secretary of the Treasury
will recommend to Congress a material
reduction of the internal revenue tax on
distilled spirits and an Increase in the.tax- \
on beer. This action will be taken on
the ground that the present tax of $1.10 ?
per gallon Is about the revenue producing *
point.
Seme days a no Senator Cullom Intro- .
dnced a resolution, which was adopted,
calling upon the secretary for his views
on the subject and the commissioner of
internal revenue has now in preparation
a report to the secretary covering the
facts involved. This report, will show
that since the increase of the tax on $
spirits from 00 cents to $1.10 a gallon -
illicit distilling has increased to a point
almost beyond control. This is the case
particularly in the mountainous districts
in the South.
Recently evidence has been obtained of
the extension of illicit distilling into the
North. A short time ago a large quan?
tity of illicit whiskey was captured in
Montana, and an investigation disclosed .
the fact that it was manufactured in Ne?
braska. That it is rapidly increasing and
extending in many directions, internal
revenue oflieors say, is beyond doubt, and . r
with only the $50,000 appropriated by'
Congress for the detectiou and suppres?
sion of illicit distilling the internal reve?
nue bureau is almost helpless to stem tho
title.
Just what action will be recommended
is not known, but there are reasons for
believing that 00 cents, the rate collected
under tho McKinley bill, will be fixed
?ipon. Under the lorvor rate it Is con?
tended that the inducements for violating
the law would bo reduced and at the same
time tho revenues would uot suiVer. No
ilettulto conclusions has been yet renched
as to what the recommendation as to tho
tax on beer shall be, but It lls altogether
probable that an increase will bo advised.
