the affray, as the partisans of each loudly charge the other with being the full cause of the trouble. More than 100 shots were exchanged lietween the combatants in less than that many seconds, and when the firing ceased the following named were lying dead, dying or injured on the pavement:

JsKIfY Pate, deputy constable, shot in the face. Wounded. Patrick Fleming, shot In the left shoulder. John McGovern, laborer, shot through the right arm. The riot was the culmination of a hitter feeling which had lieen manifested by action ami words from the opening of the polls. The antagonistic elements were solidly divided in the choice of candidates for mayor, and the riot was the climax of a series of smaller riots at other points earlier in the day between the same opjiosing religious factions, 0|i|ioKlng EUliieiit,. This riot took place in the Fifth ward. Only one hour before John Gooley, a stonemason, was shot in the back and forehead by William Henry Walker at another voting place, and that row was directly due to a fiery debate regarding the principles of the A. P. A., to which Gooley was violently opposed. The A. P. A., which supported WebI* , ster Davis, the Republican candidate, pi had their own workers at the different [Killing places. Jim Pryor, a Fifth waul politician antagonistic to the A. P. A., who supported Frank Johnson, the labor and factional Democratic candidate, was active at the head of 50 constables whom he had secured Justice Latshaw to ap-

point.

Short hut blinrp liattta.

Some say the constables were irresponsible characters and the sole cause of the trouble, and these claim that one of Pryor's men fired the first shot. That man was Mike Callahan, and he was a dead man the next moment. Then the battle began. The deputy constables at this polling beoth and the workers of all the political tactions crowded together, aliout 100 strong, and every one of them seemed to be armed. For a minute or two the discharge of weapons sounded like a discharge of musketry by a regiment. Hundreds of citizens gathered at every point of vantage to witness the battle, which was of short duration. In less than five minutes from the time the I' first shot was fired the bluecoats from station :i had appeared ui>on the scene aud quieted the disturbance. With their first approach the fighting political workers ceased hostilities and made a quick effort to hide their weapons.

Statement AgiOntt rule.

Pryor's men are claiming that Callahan was an innocent victim. They assert that it was Jerry N. Pate, an A. P. A. man, wlw> fired the first shot, and that was the shot that killed Callahan. Pate was serving as a constable, having been appointed esi>eeially by a Westport official to serve a warrant for the arrest of Jim Pryor, John Pryor, his son, and Bert I*ryor for an alleged felonious assault upon a citizen earlier in The day. Anyway, he and Callahan met, had some words and either one or the other tired the shot that commenced

the conflict.

About a dozen arrests have been made and tiie police are working on evidence which they have gathered from the men under arrest. It is probable that further arrests will be made. No further disturbancc has occurred and it is thought there will be none. Returns show that Webster Davis, the straight Republican candidate for mayor, has been elected by a good majority over all other tickets, carrying with him the entire Republican ticket. In St. Joseph. Mo., the Republicans re-elected Mayor Shepherd and specials from all over the state and Oklahoma go to show that, with but few exi options when party lines were distinctly drawn, the Republicans were successful. « SKI» GUNS IN CHICAGO. Two Men Shot III Small Hints Ituring Aniermunic El-ctlons. Chicago, April 4.—This city elected aldermen yesterday, and in the afternoon there were several disturbances. In the First ward several revolver shots were heard, where the tight was between ‘Bathhouse John” Coughlin (Dem.) and ‘ Bill" Shakel (Ind.) of gambling fame. •Buff” Schwartz, a Shakel supporter, was beaten and shot down in the street, and John Dee, one of the attacking Va party, was shot twice in a saloon by Lewis Luther, a negro, sometime after-

At Palmer 80 women wanted to vote for school trustee, but the Democratic judge refused to ajlow it. Republican chairman took their votes and deposited them in a separate box and the Repub-

licans will contest the election.

Denver, April 4. — Yesterday was ladies day at town elections throughout the state, and flowers and sinilax abounded. Pretty young women could lie seen pinning violets or carnations on the coat lapels of big bearded men, with winning smiles that said: “You will vote my ticket, won’t you?" At the polls in Highlands, a Denver suburb, the women told the men plainly what they thought of the taxation principles and cast 50 per cent of the vote. Most of the candidates on the Republican ticket, including Carrie G. West as city clerk,

Senator McMilla.. has introduced a bill instriu i rig the department of justice to adept r-ome national system for keeping a permanent -ecord of every person coi - victed of crime in the United States. At present the secret service has a rogues' gallery on a small scale, but that includes only a few noted offenders against the federal laws.

newspapers.

The resolution directs the committee on interstate and foreign commerce to inquire by what law or authority such acts have been committed and whether the laws of the United States have been violated. In his remarks on the resolution Mr. Grosvenor said this was the first time in the history of the government that such a censorship had been established. The resolution was referred to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, of which Mr. Wise of Virginia is chairman. The latter says the resolution will probably be considered at the meeting of the coiumith

TARIFF DEBATE.

Standpoint—Amendment*.

Washington, April 4.—Interest in the tariff debate in the senate was not so | great yesterday as on the ojiening day. the attendance of spectators being much smaller. In the opening hour bills and resolutions of interest to the far west were presented and Peffer’s resolution against the issuance of Is mds was called up, but it went over while Mr. Sherman's motioj to refer it to the finance committee was still pending. Senator Morgan's bill to give effect to the Bering sea arbitration was taken up and passed. Senator Harris then gave notice that each day he would ask that the tariff bill lie considered immediately after the

morning routine business.

Senator A llison then addressed the senate in opposition to the tariff bill. He complained of the methods used in forming the bill and contrasted the leisurely manner in which the Idemocrats liad handled it with the present desire to hurry the bill along. He said the report was practically the conclusions of three members of the senate finance committee and that he was embarrassed in not being yet supplied with necessary printed statements of the hill's contents. Then he went back to tariff legislation as early as 1 "82 8 and followed the pro-

The court said he was led to believe that the two men came especially prepared to cane the body of somebody, from the fact that they wore heavy brais knuckles under tiieir gloves. Prosecutor McMahon of Crown Point, who conducted the case for the state, said thst he believed the knuckles were put on after the men were killed and w»s greeted with hisses. After his discharge Looker was borne in triumph from the courtroom on the shoulders of six sturdy men and taken to a hotel, where he held a reception. McMahon says he wi 1

Valparaiso, Ind., April 4.—A horrible catastrophe at Calumit Ifit, a small station 15 miles west of this city, resulted in the burning to death of three children and the total destruction of the house and contents. The fire was caused by a lamp exploding. The house w.is occupied by Edward Rice, section foreman on the Nickel Plate, and his family and a number of section hands. When the fire was discovered Rice hastily awoke the inmates and assisted his wife and babe, who slept on the ground floor, ; to a place of safety. Missing the three other children, who with the section hands occupied the second story, the frantic father rushed into the rapidly burning structure to get them, but the flames had made such headway that he | was driven back by the intense heat. ! He was horribly burned and will likely die. Several of the sleeping men barely had time to escape. The ages of tiie

BRECKINRIDGE SCANDAL. Air*. Lowell'* Testimony of Bi.ubtfnl (■ - poi'tiinct* !tr«'<‘kiiiridgt* Washington, April 4.—There was a variation of the order of testimony in the Pollard-Breckinridge trial yesterday to permit the introduction of evidence that Colonel Breckinridge had carried on a typewritten correspondence with Madeline Pollard from the house of representatives in 1R8K. Tiie demand from the plaintiff’s lawyers to be permitted to follow this course brought a delicate question of law before the judge, but it was granted. Accordingly Mrs. Louise Lowell, who conducted a business in typewriting and stenography at the capitol in 1MK«, and had been di covered by the plaintiff last Hnnday, stated that she had copied myateridus letters upon a typewriter for the colonel and had also addieased for him a package of envelopes to "Miss Pollard, 7t( North Upper street, Lexington, Ky.having made an entry of the address in a notebook which she produced, but which did not entirely substantiate her statement, because it seemed to have been used in 1887 aud

1888.

Miss Pollard also appeared in a speaking part once more to testify that she had received the letters in question. During her brief appearance the lawyers had their hands full endeavoring to make her confine herself to answering the questions directed to her, for in her untrammelled utterances when on the stand before she scored some of the most telling points for her side. Thereafter the programme was a continuance of the fencing between the congressman from Kentucky and the excongressman from Indiana. Both Colonel Breckinridge and ex-Judge Wilson are lawyers of brilliant parts, and no exhibition of its kind approaching the thrust and parry of the two men when pitted as examiner and witness has been heard for years. It was enjoyed by an audience worthy of its merits, for besides the u-nal varying corps of congressional attendance and lawyers there was a well known Methodist clergyman in the audience and a retired judge of the district court luxuriated in • seat beside Judge Bradley. Colonel Breckinridge made ironclad denials of the testimony of Mrs. Lowell, beside contradicting .Miss Pollard at many points. Judge Wilson was disjmsed to drop into a vein of sarcasm at times, speaking of the defendant as a “fatherly looking and perfectly respected gentleman like yourself.” He laid the foundation for more testimony ill rebuttal by obtaining a denial that a servvant at the* fashionable boardinghouse where .Miss Pollard had lived had ever seen her using in his presence that workbasket formerly belonging to his dead wife, which the colonel swears he did not give the plaintiff. Miss Pollard stated that the ty]>ewritten letters, addressed to her ns ‘ Dear Sister Louis f '” and "My Little Spitfire," had lieeii received and destroyed, and then the colonel was called hack. He made Hat <b nials concerning the letters, told of contributions to Miss Pollard's tuition fund and denied knowledge that five $iu<) notes drawn while she was in Holy Cross academy had been withdrawn. He declared that there was not a scintilla of truth in a statement that he had given her money to purchase a wedding trossean. “Now.” said Mr. Wilson a little later, alluding to defendant's criticism of Miss Pollard’s falsehoods in saying she had b»“en to dinner at his house to account for her absences, “you are a fatherlylooking man and she a young girl, both of you from Kentucky. Can yon conceive of a lietter excuse for her to give for her absence than that she had been to dinner with a respectable elderly gentleman like yourself?" “Nor can I conceive of a keener one to lie used afterward for a suit like this.” was the reply. His attention was called to the other phases of the case, but in each instance he denied the plaintiff’s statements. Court adjourned earlier than usual, Mr. Wilson announcing an intention of taking up an entirely different line.
