TVashington who cannot relate some experience with the great uninvited. The intruders are to bo found in tho greatest numbers at the receptions of people in official life. Many strangers regard these as in the nature of public receptions. Unacquainted, perhaps, with social custom, they do not recognize the rights of the "servants of the people." as they are fond of calling them, to any privacy, even in their homes. The advent of a crowd of curiously-dressed people in the parlors of the Secretary of State. or the Secretary of the Interior, at a card reception, would astonish none of the receiving party, however much it might annoy them. These intrusions are among the disagreeable but necessary burdens of public lite. At one of the afternoon receptions given ,by the family of the Secretary of 'State under the last administration a number of plainly-dressed women walked in, and began to look about the parlors. Miss Bayard stepped forward to greet them, but was met with a request not to "bother" herself, and the information that they had "just come in to look around." At another large reception a showilydressed woman was approached in the tearoom by the daughter of one of the Cabinet officers and asked if she would have some refreshments. "No," was tho response, delivered in a hard, metallic tone of voice. "I have just given my order to tho other girl." A woman who had lived in Washington many years and who did a great deal of entertaining one winter, tells me that she has been forced to furnish refreshments and amusemeut in one evening to 200 guests whom she had not invited to her house. The same experience was had at a reception at which she was asked to assist. The uninvited guests did not enter the parlor where the receiving party was stationed, but went direct through the hall to the second parlor and into the diningroom. At another entertainment, given inadvertently on the night sec aside for a public reception at the Vbite House, the number of the uninvited guests was so great that it was finally necessary to station a policeman at the curb to ask the occupants of each carriage as it was driven up if they were provided with invitations. And the people who had driven up from

were driven away again. minor Matters. Dhloans Getting Ready to Slake Demands for a Number of Offices. GgtcLH to the Indianapolis J ournaL i Washington, May 2.

The Reported Killing of 250 Persons in a Mex ican Riot Denounced as Untrue. tiT. Louis. May 2. The following descrip tion of a mob and riot, which occurred at La Luz, near Guanajnata, Mexico, a few days ago, over the incarceration of five Jesuit priests, who were stirring up the ignorant people against the government, is given by a prominent citizen of Guanajuuta, who reached Texas yesterday. It was nearly dark when the priests were impris oned, but by the time the street-lamps wero lighted 12,000 men roared and surged against the walls of tho jail. They attacked its heavy doors with pick-axes, stones, crowbars and heavy beams of wood, and some of them in a wild frenzy, dashed their bleeding hands and heads against the massive walls. Many of them were armed, and in a short while a heavy hre was pourme into tne winnows, ine 3iayor or Guanaiuata. who was iuside. was one of the first to fall. Policemen, who rushed up in squads of two and three, were remorselessly butchered, and in a short time more than twenty of them were lying dead on tho pavement. A few scattered soldiers who were in town were treated in like manner. The mob. which bv this time was utterlv unmanageable, either by the government or theprie8ts who had incited it, now set tiro to the jail doors, but just as the inmates were about to surrender, 200 regular soldiers arrived on a double-ouick and formed across the street. The mob answerd the order to disperse with a yell and a dis charge of tire-arms. The command to hre was at once given. The bullets, at fearlull' short range, swept through the mass of men. women and children like a scythe. mowing them down in rows. Still they came on. and vollev after vollev crashed into them, only to cause those behind to spurn tne dead bodies with tneir teet as tnev pressed forward. The streets were sticky with blood, and the shallow gutters ran with it. in tne meantime, a number of tho insurgents, armed with pis tols and rifles, had climbed up on the ad joining houses, and the soldiers began to drop one bv one. Alter an half hours' continuous fighting, a charge with the bayonet was ordered. When the front ranks of the mob felt the steel the entire concourse broke and disappeared through the alleys and byways. Altogether more than 2o0 persons had been slain, by far the greater part of whom were miners and other Mexican laborers. The soldiers lost sixteen killed and wounded. Among the slain was a lieutenant. The tire in the lail was cmenched. and the five badly frightened but determined priests, were taken to Guanajnata for safeKeeping. They are now confined in tho Castello de Grandetas. an immense pit, in which the great Mexican revolution had its birth, and in which the patriot Hidalgo was pubsequently hanged. It is thought that had the riot proven successful, had the priests been rescued, and tho local authority broken, a serious uprising might have developed. As it is, the incipient revolution is nipped in tho bud. Only One Man Killed. City of Mexico, via Galveston, May 2. The dispatches sent out from Texas, pur porting to give details of the rioting at Silao and Guanajuato, are gross exaggerations. The profect of Silao was assassinated yesterday, and his was the only life lost in the entire attair. The authorities have restored order, and to-day everything is quiet. The Arkannas .Election Cases. Littlh Rock, Ark., May 2. In tho federal court, to-day. Judge II. M. Rose, Col. W. L. Terry and Mr. John Fletcher, attorneys for Chas. Reid and Jas. Lucas, who were convicted on last Saturday for interfering with an election supervisor at Plummerville, and who are in jail awaiting sentence, tiled a motion in arrest of judgment in their case, claiming that the indictment uuder which defendants wero convicted is insufilcient to sustain the verdict. The argument of the motion was deferred to suit the convenience of the court and counsel. The court-room was crowded with spectators and witnesses, among whom were nearly a hundred an fifty negro witnesses in tho case of Kufus J. Martin, David Ilignight and Robert Anthony, election judges of White River township. Wood rut! count y, charged with making false returns of election and with changing ballots in the box.

The New School Law Considered Unsatisfactory, but It Will Bo Carried Out. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Winchester, May 2. At the semi-annual meeting of the county board of education yesterday tho new school-hook law was fully and freely discussed, and the conclusion reached that the law will prove a vicious and unsatisfactory one, but that the law shall be strictly observed and carried out, regardless of individual opinions of members. Full enumeration reports were presented from each of the eighteen corporations of the county, showing the total number of children between the ages of six and twenty-one years to be 9,281, as anainst 9.523 last year, a falling off of 242 in tne county. This falling off is undoubtedly due to the more stringent requirements of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction in the matter of enumerations. The reports this year are, perhaps, more nearly correct than ever before. Bringing: Stolen Goods Into the State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, May 2.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., May 2. Fully two thousand block and one thousand bituminous miners in and near Brazil have quit work. pending the adjustment of tho yearly scale. The difference between the bituminous miners and operators has narrowed down to a few cents, and it is likely to be soon adjusted. Tho miners demand G5 cents now, and 70 cents next November. The operators offer 621-2 cents now, and 65 cents next November. Several of the bituminous miners are at work, with tlie understanding that they receive the rate to bo agreed upon. Our bituminous coal has proved an annoying competitor to our block coal, because of its cheaper price. This is especially true where it is converted into coke, as is being done extensively at New Pittsburg by a Chicago firm, with $350,000 capital invested. In the present disturbance, tho block and bituminous operators and miners hold separate council and act entirely independent of each other. The block-coal operators are firm in their offer of 70 cents now and 75 in next November. About 600 miners employed in the Nickle-plate and Chicago mines have voted to goto work at the price, but they will be governed by the majority. None ot the block miners are at work, except a few employed by the Central Iron and Steel Company at last summer's prices, pending the agreed price. A business man who is well posted on the subject said to-day: "Indiana, in this disturbance of mining prices, is just settling down to the level occupied by other coal States. Two years ago Ohio and Penusj-1-vania dropped the former to GO and the latter to 69 cents. This was brought about by natural gas and fuel oils in their home markets. Indiana became similarly affected and is now yielding to the enevitable. The superiority of our Dlock coal and our nearness to market enabled our operators for more than a year to hold the market. But what with Ohio and Pennsylvania operators lighting desperately for a market, on the one hand, and Illinois operators underbidding on the other, the Indiana operators got left in time. But it was through a combination of circumstances, and not because of any inferiority in our coaL The force of natural gas and fuel oils must be admitted. After our block coal was supplanted in the big iron mills of Chicago by coke manufactured out of our cheaper bituminous coals, fuel oils in turn supplanted the coke. In one of the South Chicago rolling-mills a battery of forty boilers is heated by crude oil. Tbe cost of tho oil and coal is about the same for the same quantity of heat, but with oil ten men do the work of sixtylive with coal. Besides, there are other savings in the wear of the boilers and in the insurance. "In the free fight for a market, a place will be found for Indiana coal; but a fight is necessary, and the miners will do well to recognize this fact at once, and join issues with tho operators in getting there. Only a few davs aco Pennsylvania operators were awarded the contract for 16,000 tons of coal by Micmgun parties, although our operators reach the locality by a direct railroad. Illinois operators, already scared, have announced a ten cent reduction." A secret delegate meet ine was held hera to-day. and tho result hasbeen kept from tho public. It is known, however, that tho delegates entered the convention instructed to reluse the operators' oner, with the exception of the Nickel-plate. Chicago and Jumbo mines. Abont one-third of the block miners of the district work in these mines, but the vote instructing the delegates was very small and rather evenly divided. It is generally understood among tho miners that a strike is on. The operators offer 70 cents, but the miners have not yet committed' themselves to any price. Of 1.000 bituminous miners less than 100 are at work, though their dirlerence is within 2 1-2 - A 11 X A. cents oi adjustment Provisions for Strikers. Pittsburg, Pa., May 2.The feature of the strike at the Duquesue steel-works to day was the parade, of 400 workmen, who came up from tho Homestead steel-works. Every man carried some article of provis ions for the strikers, such as hams, sacks of flour, corlee and tobacco. It is estimated that they brought enough provisions to keep tho strikers a month. A member of the tinance committee re ported to-day that Andrew Carnegie had iilnppri ftl OHO nf, f Via diannaal rf Vim BtnL-nm and that Captain W. K. Jones, eeneral manager of the Edgar Thompson works, had given $500. This news created great enthusiasm among the strikers. Tho report is discredited, however, by tho Homestead workmen. Fifteen of the Italian non-union workmen became dissatisfied to day and left the works. The situation remains unchanged, but the strikers are aore hopeful. A Leader of Italian Rioters Shot. Pottsville, Pa., May 2,On tho Schuyl kill fe Lehigh Valley railway, new in course of construction below this city, today, a number of Italian laborers struck for higher wages, and, arming themselves with revolvers and clubs, proceeded along the line, persuading or compelling the men to iom them. At tho section of contractor Thomas F. Kickert, near Orwiesburg, the A 1 1 . moo mei wiin ine nrsi organized resistance. Contractor Kickert rallied his men and made a stand, some of his men being armed with Winchester rilles. fceveral volleys were fired, and the leader of the rioters, an Italian, was snot tnrongn the legs. The shcriu was telegraphed lor and proceeded to the scene with a fitrong posse. Nine of the rioters were arrested, and were lodged in jau nere 10-nigni. Non-Union Men 31 urderously Assaulted. Unioxtowx, Pa., May 2. Two colored non-union miners, named John Williams and Robert Jackson, who haye been work ing at the Stewart Iron Company's cokeworks since the strike, were murderously assaulted while on their way to work at daybreak by a crowd of thirteen of the locked-out men. lhe assaulting men were armed with clubs and stoneR. and the two colored men were terribly injured. Williams pulled a revolver and shot atone of his assailants, but did not hit him. Before he could fire again, another of the assailants snot mm in tne ieir, arm. i lie colored men finally broke away towards the works, followed oy a parting volley from the 1 a 1 ii 1 & a. strikers. Strikes in Pennsylranla. Pittsburg, May 2. Tho railroad coalminers' strike, inaugurated yesterday against a reduction, has spread to a number of other mines, and about 3,000 miners are now out. The works along the Pennsylvania railroad are in operation, a compromise havinc been effected. The building trades strike will probably result favorably to the workmen. Several contractors have grauted tbe demands, and work has been resumed on a number of large buildings in coarse of erection, but a greaty many men are still idle. "Wanted Ransom for a Stolen Body. Denver, Col., May 2. Last week tho widow of Col. J. A.

Coroner Hertz and a jury began, to-day, an investigation into the cause of death of Robert Burns, a patient' in the Insane Asylum at Jeti'erson. Attendants Richardson, Crogan and Fecha, ?ho are charged with beating him to death. were present. The dead man's widow and her brother testified that Burns was in good health when he was sent to the asy lum, and that tho only abrasion on his body was on one of his legs, which had been injured. The most damaging testimony was that of Charles Beck, a reporter, who successfully nlayed the insanity dodge and was admitted to the asylum, where he was an eye-witness to much of the brutal treatment which reduced Burns, in ten days, from a strong man to a complete physical wreck, resulting in his death. The story was one of tho most revolting and heartless cruelty. The witness detailed at great length the repeated acts of brutality which the three accused attendants inflicted upon the un fortunate man. He declared that the pa tient was not unruly, but seemed dazed and incapable of understanding what was wanted of him. Beck aid that upon their arrival at the asylum they wero given cold baths; then he and Burns were left shiver ing in a cold room lor 15 minutes; then, after examination by the doctors, the at tendants took charge of them. Burns was ordered to sit on a bench. Ho seemed not to undei stand, and did not do so, whereupon he was violently thrown down upon it. rtising in a aazea ana neipiess way, attendant Richardson kicked him violently in the abdomen. Burns again arose and tried to walk away, when Richard son cauaht him bv the. collar and threw him to the floor. And so the brutality con tinued, the three attendants, Richardsou, Crogan and Pecha each taking part iu it. kicking the helpless lunatic iu tne side and stomach: striking, and cutting, and bruising his face with their lists. They undertook to dress his wounded leg, jerking him about roughly, and causing him excruciating agony, meantime continuing their blows. When this was done, Crogan picked np one of Burns' s shoes, nnd taking it by the toe, beat the unotlending patient over the head with the heel of it, cutting great gashes, and covering the unfortunate victim with his own blood. By this time he was in a Bcmi-comatose condition, and was fast losing consciousness. He was then Jerked out of his seat, which was covered with blood that had run down from his head. That night the witness and Burns wore put into the same celL Burns was ordered to remove his clothes, but not complying, was slapped and culled. Finally the attendants stripped him, and then Richardson kicked him in the abdomen, knocking hira across the cot At another time, tho witness said, ho heard the sound of blows in Burns's cell, and loud cries from Burns, lasting several minutes. Attendants Schnlzer, Crogan and Richardson were there. Then a mop and a pail of water were brought, and the door was closed and locked. Ine attendants evidently came to the conclusion that the witness was too inquisitive, and he was removed to another part of the building. The reporter camo out of the asylum at the end of ten days. Burns was then reduced to a skeleton, and was a sallow, hollow-eyed idiot. The reporter told how. when friends secured his release. Dr. Kiernan, the superintendent of the asylum, shook his head, ominously, and advised azaiust it. H declared the reporter to be incurably insane that he knew this because he had watched the case very closely. Dr. Schulzer, of tho staft, concurred in this opinion. Richardson. Crogan and Pecha, under advice of their attorney, Francis T. Colby, refused to testify or bo present at tho subsequent proceedings, pre fe rri ntr to remain in jail. Doctors Kiernan and Schubert, of the asylum, were on the stand, as were a number of other witnesses, but nothing important additional was elicited. A verdict was reached in nhort order, by the jury finding that Richardson and Crogan caused the lunatic's death. The pair, with attendant Pecha, are already under indictment for murder. There seem little doubt that Doctors Kiernan and ifchubert also will have bills of somo sort presented against them by the grand jury. Conspirators Sentence!. Geneva, 111., May 2. To-day Judge Kellum refused to grant a new trial to th;i "Q conspirators, Broderick and Gooding, and sentenced them Broderick to one year in the penitentiary, aud Gooding to pay a lino of $100 and his share of the costs, which will amount to a little over SK. Gooding's fine is reduced from S-VX) to $100, and hi share ot the costs, as it was feared that if he scheduled he would schedule out, and the count3T cret nothing, and now he agrees not to schedule.
