SHOT BY A SOLDIER.

More Blood Shed in the Brooklyn Strike.

ONE MAN FATALLY WOUNDED.

Be Claims That He Was Doing: No Wrong

When Fired Upon—Several Conflicts Be

tween Strikers and the Militia, but Tliey

Were Not of a Serious Nature—No Proa-

pt'uti of a Settlement.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 24 —There is a greater public confidence in the maintenance of public order than on any day since the strike commenced. This city is about free from the vague terrorism of nameless deeds by mobs which kept the public mind at a high tension and served to increase the danger of serious collisions aiid outbreaks.

The mere rowdyism which is looking for trouble and wants to destroy property from wantonness has been pretty well suppressed. It has been demonstrated to those characters that the militia will shoot to kill if necessary to suppress lawlessness.

As a company of the Thirteenth regiment was accompanying a Hicks street car Thomas Kearney is said to have thrown a number of bricks at it from a roof. Some of the soldiers were hit by the missiles and one of their number took deliberate aim and shot Kearney in the side. The man was so seriously injured that the chances of his recovery are but slight.

Kearney was at work on the roof at the time and was attracted to the edge by the excitement of the crowd below in consequence of the passage of the first car through Hicks street. The feeling in the neighborhood is very hard against the railroad companies.

The police and military officers found Kearney on the roof lying unconscious in a large pool of blood. A doctor who made an examination said the wound was fatal.

In a statement to the coroner, Kearney said: "I was at work on the roof of the house, corner of Hicks street and Harrison avenue, with a man named Terrence O'Neil. I was on the cornico and saw the soldiers on Hicks street below me. Some of them yolled at me 'get back.' I started to go back in fact I started to run back, and I heard gun shots and I was hit in the hip. I had not thrown anything from the roof at the soldiers nor did O'Neil, who was working in the middle of the roof. We had been at work on the roof for Michael Haley since morning."

At 7 o'clock last night Corporal Doyle of Company H, Seventh regiment, while on duty at the Knickerbocker avenue station of the Union avenue elevated road, told a crowd on the steps to move on. They refused. Doyle struck one man on the shoulder with his clubbed musket, smashing the musket and knocking the man down. He also jabbed his bayonet into another man, deep onough to draw blood. Both men were taken away by their friends. I John Hagnian, aged 15, was arrested for throwing stones at a niotorman on the .Fifth avenue line, and Charles Gillid. 25 years old, is locked up lor having I assaulted the conductor on a Sumner avenue cur.

Another abortive attempt was made on behalf: (it the strikers yesterday to induce the trolley oiiioials to agree to submit to arbitration. The proposition which was submitted to President Norton ot the Atlantic Avenue company was flatly refused by him. The retusal indicates that the companies leel no abatement ot confidence that they will win the light.

The success which the Atlantic Avenue company has met with in its efforts to operate its lines undoubtedly had its influence uuon President ^Norton this matter. That the strikers made the overture alter having been sevoral times repulsed in the same quarter may be regarded as indicating that they have lost some confidence and are anxious tor peace. I.nd. ed, it is alleged that tor three days the highest hope has been that they might be able to extort lrom the companies the concession that those who abandoned their cars 10 days ago should bo reinstated and the new hands brought liera to take their places discharged.

When it was found that the linemen were at work as usual repairing the damage done during the night, Master Workman Connelly denied that he had ordered the men to strike. There are no indications of the lmeinon quitting work. They are under contract with the companies for from oO to 90 davs. In isolated cases crews have refused to take orders to repair wires which have been cut by the strikers or their friends. As a class, they remain loyal to their employers.

Fitty-nino cars in all were run out of the East New York depot yesterday, 30 on the Fulton street and 29 on the Broadway routes. At 6 clock in the evening, as the cars began to come in, they were held in the depot tor the night.

The tact that the Thirteenth regiment was yesterday evening retired from active duty is believed to be indicative ol the beginning of the end.

The discovery that the wound itichard Mitchell, shot Tuesday night, was caused by a caliber ball has caused some doubt as to whether he was shot by one of the militia, as they have uo weapons ot the cal'ber.

FIRE IN A FACTORY.

Three J'orsons Huriu'd io Duatli and Two Others .Seriously Injured.

•BKOOKI.YN, Jan. Y-1.—.Three persons were burned to death and two seriously injured at a lire in a morocco factory last niyht. The, names of tho burned wore: Antonio Graft", »0 years old Tony Hchultz, ^."5 years old, and Frank Alchorley, 15 yi'ars old.

All three were employed 111 the building, and had evidently been overcome by the dense smoke and flames before they could make their escape down the steep flights 01 stairs. .Frederick Oliver and Albert Reiser, two H)-year-old boys, wore also severely burned. The lire caused a loss of fcT.OUU.

CIIATTANOo'tA, Jan. 2-1.—The plant of the Tennessee Uiver Compress company, occupying two acres ol ground in the midst ot a network of railroad tracks, was almost totally destroyed by fire last night, together with 1.^30L bales of cotton. The-lire is supposed to have originated from sparks from a passing engine!. The total lus^ i.b about !jtlb,00U and is well covered by insurance.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL DEAD.

After Weeks of Suffering the End Finally Came.

LONDON, .Tan. 24.—Lord Randolph Churchill, who has been critically ill for the past few weeks, died this morning at «o'clolck. He was surrounded by his family and relatives when the end came.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL.

Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill was the second son of tho seventh Duke of Marlborough. He was b6rn on Feb. 1J, 1840, and was educated at Morton college, Oxford. He represented Woodstock in the house of commons from February, 1874, until April, 1880, and again from that time (when he was returned with a diminished majority) until November, 1885. He afterward stood for Birmingham, but was defeated and was then returned for South Paddington. From 1874 to 1880 be was almost silent in tho house, but from 1880 onward he made himself conspicuous in the house and on the public platforms by the violence of his speeches against the Liberal party, and he was chief member of that small section of the house known as the fourth party.

On the accession of Lord Salisbury's government to ollice, in 1885, Lord Randolph Churchill filled tho position of secretary of state for India and his promotion to that high place was a proof of the importance that he had assumed in the ranks of the Conservative party. In the country, indeed, he was already regarded as almost, if not quite, the. Tory leader, and it was commonly said that the mantle of Lord Beaconsfield had 1 alien upon the young, activo, irrepressible out acute chief of t-hu Tory democracy.

Lord Randolph's short tenure ot the India ollice was marked by ulie iimiexation of Upper Hurniah. Departmental work, however, did not prevent his taking a great part in the struggle, which, at the general election of November, 1XS5, again returned the Liberals to power. He resigned ollice with Lord Salisbury, to return, alter six months, as chancellor of the exchequer and leader ol the house of commons, but, to the surprise ol all, he resigned suddenly in December ot the same year.

Lord Randolph married in 1S74 Miss Jennie Jerome, daughter ot the late Leonard Jerome of New York. He has silicic become a prominent member of the Primrose club. Lord and Lady Churclull visited the country, lor tho lirst time many years, hist slimmer, and then conI tinned west-ward oil a tour "ol the world, lron. winch they returned, landing at

Marseilles only a few weeks aj.ro. Tills v(iv i»e was undertaken for the benefit ot I Lord Randolph's health, which was badly shattered when he landed in New York on July 4 last. He was said to be sutlering lrom nervous prostration brought on by overwork. But the trip around tho world seems to linve dene him no more good I than did a previous long trip to South

Alrica. where he joined health-seeking I with business, and, in so doing, made an investigation into the mining interests of

Mashonahind, which, aeoonlimr to the report, caused hnn to lose much money. Lord and Lady Churchill reached London a few weeks ago lrom M* rseilles, and the former's condition was then so feeble that he had to be lifted lrom the railroad car to his carriage, lie was, it was said, suffering from general paralvsis. Lord Randolph, during his tour ol the world, had a physician,.Dr. Keith, constant atI tendance upon him, and, addition, he has been treated since his return to Europe by Drs. Buzzard and Robson Roose. The latter was tor many years Lord Randolph's I physician, but the consultations held between the three physicians do not seem to have resulted in prolonging the patient's liie lor any length of tune, and he died at lus residence, 50 (Jrosvenor square, London, when: he was conveyed alter his return to

London. Lord Randolph Churchill leaves a widow, who has shown herself a most devoted attendant upon lnin during his last illness, and two sous, Winston Leonard, born in 1871, and John Henry, born in 1880. n#S

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

THE ADMIRATION OF SAYS MADISON C.

STRANGERS, PETERS.

He Opposes the National, State or Municipal Support of Sectarian Instit utions—En

force Common School Education The Bible Our Cornerstone.

C1-'

The fountains of this republic wisely identified popular education with our nation's welfare. Congress as early as 1787 ordered that "schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged, and Washington in his first message said: "Knowledge in every country is the surest basis of public happiness. To the security of free institutions it contributes by convincing those who are intrusted with the public administration that every end of government is best answered by tho enlightened conscience of the people, and by teaching the people themselves to know and value their own rights, and to discern and provido against invasions of them." I11 his^ farewell address he says, "Promote as an object of primary importance institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge."

There is nothing in this land that wins so much admiration of strangers and contains so much promise for the future as our free school system. It is the great assimilating organ of the body politic. There is no nation in tho world where there is such a pressing need of enforcing the education and discipline Df the common schools as in the United States. It becomes more urgent with "every new and alien sourco of immigration to this land. Tho New York Times well says: "The clerical and lay foreigners in our midst who hold that the children under their charge should not bo Americanized show a very just sense of the adoption of means to ends when they insist that tliey should not be sent to the public schools. The children who are sent there simply cannot maintain their alienism. Mr. Bruisson, the director of primary teaching in tho French ministry of public instruction, recently said that "the American school not only turns out men, but it makes tho American peoplo. Whatever may bo tho elements cast into it, they never come out anything but Americans."

I11 all Europo today education is passing from tho control of tho church, is becoming more secular and less sectarian. Neither is it made a religious question or a political issue. Catholic and Protestant countries alike move to establish public schools in which tho teacher shall answer only to tho state, and the instruction only be secular. Do we in America want to put 011 the castoff garments of Europe? Shall progressive America put 111 place of her free unsectarian school system a system that 1 has been turned off by all tlio nations of the world.''

True patriotism and self preservation require that no school trustee shall bo elected or teacher employed in state schools who is seeking to sectariamzo or destroy them. While we cherish the ro- I public we must defend our public schools. Wo must stand around them it 1 need bo with bristling bayonets. Tho toes of the public school aro necessarily the foes of tho American republic. I

Soclarian Appropriations. I

Appropriations from the public funds I for sectarian schools or tor any sectarian 1 purpose whatsoever is practically recogni/iing the un-American idea ot a 11111011 of church and state. It is taxing ono man for tho purposo of propagating another mail's religion, which is a glaring self contradiction 111 an American state. Municipal, state or national support of sectarian institutions is a virtual sub- 1 sidy tor tho supposed political infraencoot tho church and at the expense of 1 tho general public. These raids on the public treasury aro made 111 tho name of "religious liberty," and to oppose them 1 is to lie set down as a bigot. These appropriations aro violation of both the letter and spirit ot tho first amendment to the constitution, and if insisting 011 each church supporting its own schools

Our Cornerstone.

Horse Racing.

I don't belicvo that the cultivation of a liorso's speed is a sin. If tho Lord made fast horses, it was to havo thom go fast. But tho evil begins when tho betting begins, when fast horses mako fast men. Gambling is accursed of God. Upon tho brow ot every pool seller I would writo tho unmistakablo word "Swindler. I know ot many men and women who bet on horses last summer, and I do not know of one who won. I am glad of it. 1 liopo it may so discourago tlicm that they may quit. It a man gam, he is apt to go right on to hell.

Ill Temper.

Religion should influence our temper. If a man bo as jealous, passionate, revengeful, huffy, sullen, morose, sour and moody after Ins conversion as boforo it, what is I10 converted from or to? Tho

Christian should cherish like an apple ot gold a bright, sunny, cheerful temper and disposition.

AN UNPROFITABLE ROAD.

A Railroad That Cannot Compete WIHI Mexican Burros.

The recent report of tho Sonora branch of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa

waste of sandy deserts and uncultivated prairies. There aro few towns or villages of any importance situated near this road. It was constructed at an enormous cost, and it was tho dream of the projectors to make Guaymas a dangerous rival of San Francisco.

Tho ocean route to Australia and

the

Central and South American ports is hundreds of miles nearer Guaymas than San Francisco, and the former port was intended as a depot and entrepot for all imports and exports from those countries. But the scheme met with a monstrous failure. Tho traffic between this Mexican port and tho United States scarcely brings in sufficient revenue to pay the actual expenses of its train service. Indeed there has been some talk of abandoning that part of the road running between Nogales and Guaymas, a distance of nearly 300 miles.

A peculiarity of this road is the fact that uo freight agent has ever yet been able to make a tariff that would compete with the burros that have a lino of commercial travel running parallel with tlio Sonora railroad from Hermosillo to Nogales, Benson and Tucsou. Two dozen burros are capable of carrying about as much freight as a box car. This mode is cheaper even if it is longer, but who in that country reckons time? Moreover, custom duties aro regularly saved by the burro route in both directions.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

"All right," said the groom, "you havo had a kiss, haven't you?''" "Yes," said tho squire. "Well, then, you give me a receipt, and I will give you $2, and that will make it square.

Tho justice hesitated a moment and said, "IIow do you make that out:" "Well," said tho groom, "you have married us, haven't you, and you havo charged mo ^3.'" "Yes." "And you have taken tlio first kiss from tho bride?' "Yes." Well, I havo charged you $3 lor it, and that leaves two duo you."
