The Romans were protected in building Aopiau ways and other roads to Home, the Coliseum and other magnificent ruins, and butchering men to male a Roman holiday. Jupiter wanted these great home in dustries protected and Vulcan did it for hun with his little aegis.

Chicago, Oct. 21.' n& from the experi ences of this afternoo. i last night, the im ported conductors and vu'ivers in the employ of the North Chicago Street-railway Company will continue to have indefinitely, "a hard road to travel." Fully three hundred of the old hands are now out of work, mainly owing, they claim, to an unfair construction placed by President Yerkcs upon the agreement of last Sunday. All tbfse men and their symyathizeYs are intensely bitter in denunciation of the new men. In ad dition to the outbreak after the Blaine procession, last night, there was another serious tumult this afternoon. Clyboorn arenas end llalstei street was the scene of the disorder to-day. At this point huge timbers and loads of brick were suddenly, and with no little show of system, throrn across the street, forming a series of obstructions resembliog in some respects regulation barricades. Th neighborhood is densely populated with working people, and th3 being idle on bunday. n!Ied tte sidewalks. windows and house-tops.

A ozt'e of s'.raugari in the city, a reporter. the conductor iod drifer, and the two policemen acting aa.guards were the only ones who remained. When the car was brought to a halt the air became black with missiles flying from house tops and windows. The car was literally bombarded; shoots aod imprecations of all kinds were as plentiful as the missiles, the leal in this part of the affair being taken by the women mixed in the mob. The riot virtually eri?ed with the arrival of a timely patrol wagon tilled with polica The crowds were dispersed without serious trouble, little or no pounding of beads being necessary on the part of the o racers. The mob reassembled immediately, however, when the wagon departed. A prisoner was re scued from two oSkers who were left behind. and the pair of police were being roughly handled when the wagon returned in the nick of lime.

Germans Endeavoring to Enlist the Co-Oper-ation of England. Cable Specie! to New York World. Ths announcement that Dr. Peters and Lientenant Win man are to visit England in search of English gold and support for another Eailn Bay relief expedition is not received here with any great show of cordiality. The prospects are not flattering, to lay the least, for these Ger man envoys to earry away any large portion of England's wealth for such a purpose, nor will they find, indeed, the best English opinion favor ing inch a scheme. It appears to-be generally believed here that Stanley and Emin Bey are, if not actually to gather, working in conjunction, and that the Utter Is In no need of assistance. At all. events the German explorers will not find Eng lish gold to assist the rchemes of Germany for the colonization of Africa. If the Dark Country is to be colonized, England has her own plans for the accomplishment of this purpose, and these plans do not favor a part nership with another country, especially Germany. But many do not believe that the time has arrived as yet for the colonization of Africa, and are un willing to sink mooey in vhat they regard as premature and futile schemes. However. nuncrui or tne lesson taucul them oy too tiermans at Zanzibar, Lnzlish capitalists do not propose to suSer a repetition ol tola . in Africa, and when they consider the time ripe they will put their plans into execution.

BONANZA FLOOD. The Millionaire Merely n Remnant of His rormer Self Views of Ills Doctor, faris Cable Special to New York World. I have received to-day, from a private and most reliable source, encourajriner news con cerning the condition of millionaire Flood, who has been for the past two weeks lyine so ill at Ileidelbarg under treatment for kidney trouble by the celebrated spscialist, Kussmaul. Last Sunday his condition became very much worse, inflammation of the heart having developed, to gether with other complications. General Rath bone, an intimate friend of Miss Flood, who is with her father, immediately left for Ileidelburg. On his arrival, however, he found Mr. Flood much better. Yesterday, shortly after midday. Hood was so much better and in such good spirits that Lis physicians allowed him to be carried to bis carriage and taken for a drive in the beautiful surrounding country accompanied by Miss Hood and Mrs. Iiathbone. in epeaking with my informant, Dr. Kussmaul eaid: This improvement in onr pa tient's condition it would be folly to consider anything more than temporary. Should Mr. Flocd survive two months it would bn little short of a miracle.

TIIE LATE GENERAL SALOMON. The Exiled President of lieytl Dies After n Surgical Operation. Paris, Oct. 20. General Saloman, who was recently driven from the presidency of Hayti by an insurrectionary movement, and who came to this city for the purpose of undergoing the operation of cystotomy, died to-day. Geueral Salomon was a native Ilnytian, and as such was regarded by tho blacks with much affection, eyen while in his repeated exiles. ' He had always ehampiooed their interests against tbje attempts of the mulattoes to gain power, and it was becau-e of tbis that he was repeatedly recalled from abroad to take part in the government of his turbnlent little iahofr He ' was born in 1313. near Port-au-Prince, his parents being wealthy blacks, who bad imbibed suU eient of French civilization to make them ambitious that their son, who early manifested great abilities, should be educated as a Frenchman. Tutors were employed; and young Salomon received a much better education than the greater number of French bourgeoie. From the time he reached his manhood bis great staturehe was six feet, four inches in height, and bad the physique of a gladiator-at once gave him procaines among his race. His first decided stand was in the revolution of 1813, when he made a demand for a more liberal education for the- blacks After several years of bloodshed, in which the blacks were arrayed acainst the mulattoes. Salomon so distinguished himself that President Soulouque appointed him to be Minister of Finance. Foreigs Relations, Publie Instruction aod Justice. Salomon b'roucht to the administration of these sf fairs' theories which, although more or less visionary, were nevertheless of great value to tae improvement of his people, and he continued to bold the same offices when Soulouque was male Emperor Faustin I, the latter's rule ending in IboO. At this time Salomon, as Duke de St. Louis du Sud and general of the Ilaytian army, fled to Paris, where he remained during the inmediately succesding republic in Hayti. Undr President Satuave, Salomon was Foreign Minister, but was banished upon the former's overthrow in 1870, again ge ing to France, where he married a

Paris, according to farsighted correspondents of European journals stationed here, is, within the next three months, to become the scene of coup d' etat, revolutions, social aod political, yet the people look forward with great equanimity to an imminent stormy future. While the political Nestors look grave and prognosticate nil manner of trouble, the Parisians are at their old tricks of playing pranks in serious times. Indeed, with the masses here the burning question is cot what uermany is doing In Italy, cr whether peace ever will be patched up between her Latin neiehbors, who are barking so frightfully, but whether Sadi Carnot will have the backbone to launch fn the face of much ridicule bis peculiarshaped high bat, which affects and which moves Parisians now to tears, now to laughter.

Tictor Hill Fa'allj Shoots His Wife and Wounds Two Other Persons. fptclal to the Indianapolis Jonrna. WixcnESTV.it, Ind., Oct 21. News has just reached hero of a terrible tragedy enaeted two and one-half miles east of the city. Victor Hill, son of 'Sqniro Hill, an estimable gentleman of this city, was tho perpetrator. He was on ILC" tee:s of " Winchester until nearly & o'clock this evening. He then went to his fathers house, put on his work-clothes and drove to the house of his father-in-law, Zirarl Moffet, where his wife was staying. Entering into a casual conversation, he asked that he be permitted to see their baby, which she refused Mr. Moffett had just stsrted to leave the room, when Hill drew a revolver and shot bin io the baek. Turning, be shot his siiter in-law, Mrs. Warren Harper, in the left side, but the bullet glanced and only produced a slight wound, a heavy corset saving her. He next shot bis wife in the left breast, above the heart, aod she soon expired. Mr. Moffet's wound is dangerous. After the shooting Hill left the house and started north. Moffet, who is old and infirm, took a musket and started in pursuit, but was too weak to discharge the weapon. Mrs. Harper took "it from him and fired at Hill, apparently with no effect Hill escaped to the woods. The tragedy is the result of a family quarrel, but was unexpected. Hill is five feet, six inches high, and has a sullen look; he has very heavy eyebrows, black hair and mustache. An Italian Murder Organization. New Vonic, Oct. 21. Francisco Ieca, Natalie Sabatano and Guiseppe Canizzaro, who have been occupying cells in the Tombs, on suspicion of beinsr concerned in the murder of Antonio Flaccitnio, whose dead body was found oa tbo street near Cooper Union, a week a?o, have all made confessions to Inspector Byrnes about the murder. Flaccimio was marked out for death some time back. He belonged to the society known aa the "Mafie." It punishes by death any member who divulges its secrets or gives any information to the police concerning the identity of any of its members who havo violated the laws of the land. Flaceimio had done both, aod knew he was to die. lie arranced with his son to carry on his business io case of his sudden disappearance. Oa Sunday, Oct. 14, he wee enticed into the Italian, restaurant at No. 3 St Mark'a Place, and a game of cards was made the ground for a quarrel between him and Carlo Quartena.ro. The three men imprisoned now swear they saw Carlo and Vineenzo Quartenaro follow Flaccimio into the street. Franeisco lata says that he accompanied Flaccimio, and that he sought to prevent the murder. Vineenzo made a lung at Flaceimio, and Ista dashed him aside. Carlo Quartenso then jumped forward and plunged a dirie into Fiaccimio's breast There were a number of Italians on the scene, and all, with the exception of Carlo, returned to the restaurant and took the oath of secrecy. Inspector Byrnes says that several reputable Sicilians belong to the "Mane" as a matter of protection to themselves. The police expect soon to have the murderer and his brothers under arrest Woman's Christian Temperance Union. New York, Oct 21. At the Women's Christian Temperance Union, to-day, Miss Frances E.

Though Col Pulsifer's death is said, by his . family, to have resulted from natural causes, the mystery eurrounding it has given rise to contradictory reports.

THE QUAERELS IN KEW YOKK

The Administration Managers Make a Bad Blunder in the Eleventh District, Where They Step in ard Give Orders for the Defeat of Congressman Merryman D3cause He Voted Against the Mills BilL Democratic Preparations for Retaining Tower by the Assistance of Fraud. The Latest Figures from the Betting People Show that Harrison Stock Is Considered a Bather Desirable InTestment. white nousn dictation. Democrats of the Eleventh New York District Very Likely to Resent Interference, Special to the Indlanaeoll J our n aw New York, Oct 2L -The Democratle voters in the Eleventh congressional district of this city are in a state cf intense Indignation over the action of the administration in meddling with their congressional nomination of last week. It is a case that is beginning to demand a good deal of attention, and before it is done with the Democratic managers, and especially the incumbent of the White House, will regret that they ever permitted themselves to attempt to dictate in the district in question. There are in this district three assembly districts, the Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth. At the last two nominating conventions -Alderman Quinn had been the choice of the Seventeenth Assembly district, but he failed in being selected, tbo Thirteenth and Fifteenth districts supporting aod Dominating Col Truman A. Merryman. This year, as formerly, the Seventeenth' district delegates favored Qainn, as before, and they adopted resolutions urging hit nomination for Congress. The Fifteenth, Merryman's own district, was, of course, for him, and it was confidently expected that the Thirteenth, which iscutfrom Snrveyor Beattie's district, would also advocate the renomination of Colonel Merryman. Positive assurances to this effect wero given by Colonel Beattie and bis friends. At the sane time it was noticed that a number of Mr. Beattie's henchmen were loud in denouncisg Congressman, Merrjmsn for his acton in voting against the Mills bill. One of these men, who was particularly vehement in his opposition to Merrymao, was Special Inspector Meritt, oee of Beattlo'e chief fuglemen in that district Little was thought of this preliminary discussion, as it was believed, up to the night before the nomination, that Beattie would put a stop to it. A week ago Saturday Beattie went over to Washiogton, and while there received bis final orders, so it is believed. At any rate, whether he got positive orders or not, he came baek to New York and at once announced that he was not going to stick his finger into the congressional politics of his district This meant that the men who were known to be his special representatives And had been denouncing Congressman Merryman far voting acrainst the Mills bill, would run as delegates from that district and defeat Merryman. Beattie, who had always been a close personal friend of Merryman's, endeavored to escape all responsibility for this condition of things. He sent his man to Merryman ou Thursday night of last week, the night before the nomination was made, with fresh assurances of his warm per sonal friendship, saying that he would do anything in the . world for him, but that tbis year he did sot feel that be could mix up at all iu politics. Of course, the only explanation of this was that it .vis tantamount to a declaration that be could Lave to carry out the orders of the White House, although he would be compelled to slaughter his own friend, and it was also poeitive evidence that the administration had directly interfered in declaring that the Congressman of the Eleventh district was distasteful to the administration on account of his independent and fearless course ic regard to that measure. The Elevecth congressional district is the largest tnanufacturingdistrictinthecityof New York. It contains a large number ofDemocrati? manufacturers, and the action of President Cleveland in deiiberately ordering Congressman Merrymans defeat has created an intensely bitter feeliog, the effect of which will be fully shown on election day, as open threats of reprisal have been made, and there is net the slightest doubt but they will he enrried into execution. The rupture in the Democratic national committee, which has developed ont of the peculiar methods which have been followed by Col. Brice, much to the distaste of Chairman Baruum, Senator Gorman and others connected therewith, has culminated beyond all shadow of doubt. Senator Gorman, who came here some days ago for the purpose of taking charge of the active eampaign work in Col. lirire's etead, and who has been bury the past week developing his plans for the importation of Maryland thugs, returned to Baltimore yesterday to complete his arrangements at that end of the line. He is to return here to-morrow meht and will at once take bis place in the campaign committeeroom, when the rainbow chaser aai political paralleler Brice will take a baek seat and do the havy genteel and loud talking in the hotel corridors. It is perfectly wsll known that Colonel Price's coursv during bis reeeot incumbency at Democratic headquarters has bad the effect of practically wrecking what litte hope they had at the beginning, and Barnum and bis associates have been compelled to step in with an emphatic insistance that the future tnanagemant be turned over to themselves. It is henceforward to be. on the part of th Democracy, a eamoaiern in which everv disreputable device will be resorted to that it is possible for the Democratic managers to conceive of. THE BETTING ARGUMENT. Less Inclination to Risk Money The Dtifc of Opinion Favors Republicans. g(c!a! to tne Indianaoolif. Journal. Washington, Oct. 21. "While the city of Washington is usually one of the foremost placos in the country in the matter of election bets, there have been comparatively few wagers laid here this year, and as the csmpaign progresses and crows hotter the people with money on its result become rarer. A well-known sporting man, who has o.nite a large sum of. money wagered on Cleveland's success, said last night that ho had no more money to offer at present This gentleman has not only been betting money himself, but has placed large sums for friends: and his statement not only indicates his own ideas, but the ideas of his clientage.- The reason, he says, is that the New York mayoralty muddle has introduced such a large element of uncertainty into the political situation that until it is straightened ont be will not bet any more money on Cleveland. This also represents the feeling of the betters whose money he handles, and who have already backed Cleveland heavily. The book-makers' odds are perhaps the best guide as to the relative atrength of tho two candidates, as these men bet for a living aod look at the political situation calmly from a purely business point of view. Lynn & Wall are the only book-makers who are making a book on the election. The odds they were offering yesterday were even money against Harrison, which is quite a chance from the $1 10 to S1C0 they were offering a few days since; $&0 to $100 aeainst Cleveland; even money that Harrison carries Indiana; $75 to $100 that New York State goes Republican! $120 to $100 that Connecticut goes hepublican. These figures indicate a very considerable decline io Cleveland stock, at least so far as this firm of book-maker's is concerned. Book-maker Wall is rounding up bis book in Baltimore, Yesterday be bet 'Sonny'' Mahon, the Baltimore politician, $500 even that Indiana would go Republican. This makes $3,300 that these two betters have placed with each other. Mr. Fin ley. the Charleston. S. C, retired horseman, yesterday

bet Mr. Wall another $ 1.003 to 000 that Har

rison woula carry Indians. Mr. Iinley ha $4,000 bet on the general le.ult in bets of f 1,000 each. "Tbo New York book-makers." said Mr. Wall, "have stopped betting almost ectitely. the last two or three days, and what few beta they do make are at even mncey. In the last three days I nave laid about ?GO0 in bets of from $30 to $100 each ou th ttneral mult The. Democrats are cot betting as freely a they were. The New York book makers in Baltimore are not laying a cent ou the eloctlon. It is all on aceount of this mayoralty business end I think myself thtt if it in't fixed up very sooa New York will go Republican." NEW XOItK STATE. A Careful Canvass Show It Will Vote for Harrison -Democratic Corruption Fund. "Sew York Special to Cincinnati 'omtnircial Gatett. It has been shown by a careful polling of every school district la th!3 State that the Republican national ticket will surely be elected by a large majority. This result has been determined by a thorough and exhaustive canvass of every voter. Unless some sudden change occurs there is no reason to doubt that the electoral vote of this State will go to General Harrison. This hippy condition of affairs has not caused'the Republican campaign managers ta) lessen their efforts or to be less watchful than heretofore. They know that they have an unscrupulous foe to deal with, led by men whe know every phase of political trickery, and are not at all backward in using this knowledge when the party's success demands it It is true that the Democratic national committee has been short of funds to meet the running aad immediate expenses of the campaign. The money subscribed by the President and his Cabinet was foolishly expended by Colonel Brice, in places where it did absolutely no good. But it is not true that the present managers lack funds, and it is known that a bi corruption fucd is being amasied to ce la New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on election day. Positive information is now in possession of several persons in this city which shows that the Democrats are planning' a thorough and far-reaching system of fraud to bo practiced In the city of tew York, in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford, Conn.; and ia Jersey City, Newark. Elizabeth and Peterson, N. J., and 'in Indianapolis, aod a number of the border towns In the State of Indiana. The plug-uglies and political thugs from Maryland and Washington are tow being brought here to do the work of Messrs. Barnum and Gorman. Eugene Higgles is on the ground and has been seen conversing late at night at some of the eastern districts down town with a variety of suspicious looking characters. He has been joined by BillDiekson, of Washington, and John Slater and Martin, two notorious gamblers aod sporting men from the capital These fellows are desperate characters, who will bait at no crime, and can be relied upon to do anything that they are ordered to do by Bar Lum and Gorman. OTni:it POLITICAL NEWS. Prevaricator Gould Roundly Denounced by Knlrhts of Labor, rorrespondence of the Indianapolis 3 on mat Waveblt, N. Y., Oct 20. Some time ago a letter In pamphlet form was circulated among the members of the K of Li, which was false, every word of it, but it met with the same reception that all of the campaign lies about Gen. Harrison have. It did the free trade cause more harm than good, for every true Knight Is a protectionist, and as for Mr. Cleveland being a trisnd to the laboring-man, every laboringman in the State of New York knows that while Cleveland was Governor be vetoed every bill that favored the laboring-man, to the number of ten. Edwin F. Gould made a great mistake when he chose D. A. 2G3, of Canisteo, N. Y.. for they belong to District Assembly 15. and District Assembly 15 Is composed mostly of manufacturers and opposes Mr. Cleveland's free trade. Gould learned his mistake and visited District Assembly 13 last week to "Qx up matters," but made a total failure, for every knicht knows he is a perjurer aod is trying to use the order for a political machine. V.'hon be joined the Knight.i of Libor be took a solemn oath r.ct to use the o'der, his office or tne seal of his district assembly or local asssmbly in any other way than prescribed in the constitution and by laws. Edwin F. Gould is looked upon as an. enemy to the Knights of Labor and will be published as such. J. W. Mo KG AN, M. W. L, A. 4'JGS, K, of L., Waveny, N. Y. 3Ir. Dlalne'e Engagements Chicago, Oct 21.
