Berne Witness. A Southern Pacific private car was attached to the east bound fast passenger train on the Erie yesterday. A number of ths officials of the “Sun- | set Route” were on the car which is bound for New York City. A a great wrangle between Harriman and Keene, the railrond magnates, is now on for the control of the Southern Pacific, and officials of that road are now flitting back and forth between New York City and St. Louis as much depends on the issue of the fight. The property ownere along Madisou street, and especially those who have been endeavoring to have it opened across the G. R. At I. tracks, will certainly be much gratified in the manner they are succeeding. The railroad company has placed another difficulty in the way of accomplishing this by setting the old depot down in the direct line of the road. It will be remembered several years ugo the railroad property was eondemed by legal process, and the street would,have been opened then but for the exorbitant loss SI 1,000 they were granted. If such a movement were again set on foot they would probably ask a like sum for the destruction of the old depot.

BLOOD IS SPILLED Campaign in Mexico Marked by Scenes of Turbulence and Bloodshed. Mob Assaults Gov. Bernardino Reyes and In the Repulse Four Are Killed and Many Wounded. Fierce Partisanism Reaches Its Culmination In the Celebration of j Diaz's Victory. Monterey, Mex., Ap:-il 3. — During the celebration here yesterday of the victory of General Diaz's republican troops over the French at Pubela on April 2, 1867, after the disbanding; of a grand parade, oh the Zaradosa plaza, a mob of about 15,000 citizens, who are partisans of Francisco Reyes, who is one of the opposing candidates of Governor Bernardino Reyes, late minister of war in President Diaz’s cabinet marched in a body to the residence of Governor Reyes end beg— l to heap abuse upon the governor, greeting him with a shower of stones and yells of "Death to Keyes" and other cries. During the celebration of Diaz’s vie tory difficulties took, place between the j partisans of the various candidates | for governor, which led to the forma tion of the large mob of those who favor Francisco Reyes for governor, This mob marched .n a body to Gover nor Reyes’ residence and began to abuse him. The governor, in the meantime, called upon the police by telephone for protection and a squad immediately responded and began the work ol dispersing the mob. A pitched bat tie ensued, in which stones, sticks and pistols played prominent parts. A lagre number of shots were exchanged between the police and the riotous mot when the mob had been dispersed it was found that two policemen and twe citizens had been killed and a large number of persons- more or less seri ously wounded. Quiet has been re stored throughout the city, although there is an undercurrent of ill feeling toward Governor Reyes, which may yet assert itself, and trouble is not un likely to break out afresh at any mo I ment. Ever since the retirement of Governor Keyes from the cabinet ot Presi dent Diaz, where he filled the port folio of minister of war. and since his resumption of the duties of governoi of Nuevo Leon, he has not enjoyed his; former popularity, and there have been! many circulars posted throughout this ( city favoring the candidacy of Fran j cisco Reyes for governor. Although ] Francisco hears the same name as the! governor, there is no family conneo j tion whatever between them. The liberty which has prevailed dur j ing the present campaign of the vari ous candidates for governor of the j state of Neuvo Leon has been out ol the ordinary, and for unknown reasons President Diaz has pursued the policy of hands off and has left the candidates to work out their own salvation The various factions have been hold lng open air meetings, where orators have denounced each other and the newspapers have published scandal ous attacks and have dealt in and dl rected personal and outrageous in ! suits at men active in the contest.
