AMUSEMENTS. Whiteside In Hamlet. Few actors visiting Indianapolis have been honored with curtain calls after a performance, while still fewer have left the city with the proud memory of being called out for a speech after the play was over. Sucn distinction was Walker Whiteside’s at the Grand last night after his truly wonderful and fascinating performance as Hamlet. To resurrect the Prince of Denmark after his beautiful and most touching death, seemed a trifle out of place, but Mr. Whiteside evidently felt that some special considerations were due an audience that packed the house from the orchestra to the last row in the top gallery. This magnetic young actor is continually improving his Hamlet, and Is faithfully fulfilling the promise of his earlier years to become the American protagonist in the greatest of all Shakspeare’s characters. Whiteside is gifted by nature for the role, giving it a tender, pathetic and romantic as well as heroic coloring that makes his performance a succession of thrills not to be resisted. There were times last night when the people were in tears and then again in laughter, while at all times both men and women, hardened old theater-goers and young devotees, hung on his worus and watched his movements wholly unconscious that they were almost breathless and sometimes half out of their chairs in their wrapt attention. Spontaneous applause frequently burst forth drowning ms utterance. No scene in Which he appeared escaped these remarkable demonstrations. V\ hiteslee has gone to the very heart of Hamlet. All the symbolism of a devout Catholic and all the mysticism in which students have chosen to cloak this mystical creation, hang about this Western-born vouth from his first entrance until the last‘fall of the curtain. On lis young shoulders seems balanced u head cured with wisdom vet troubled with the doubts and trials of youthful innocence. Whiteside's Hamlet is a moving picture of emotions, strangely mingled. His success is perhaps due to his unconscious magnetism, for while others might play Hamlet as well, there mis never been another since the days of Edwin Booth wdio could make Hamlet I've and walk and talk as fancy pictures the character. Whiteside is Hamlet for the time being and therein lies the secret of his triumph. Adelina l*attl 111. PARIS, Oct. 13.—Adelina Patti, the famous singer, is ill. Her sickness is not believed to be dangerous. Mrne. Patti has been singing on the continent this season. Manager Smith Critically 111. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—John P. Smith, the veteran theatrical manager, is critically ill at the Post Graduate Hospital, in this city. Notes of the StaK'e. There is a world of rich dramatic material in the intrigues and secret battles of the French court of a century and a half ago. Among those who have delved into this time of romance with success is W. A. Tremayne, in his play "A Secret Warrant.” Robert B. Mantell appears to-night at the Grand in this new drama and plays the dashing character of a captain of king’s guards. The period of the play is 1730. when the Due and Orleans, as regent, ruled France. In reality, his favorite, the unscrupulous Lady Gabrielie, was the power behind the throne that worked the destinies of the kingdom. In this play the bold captain scorns the advances of the woman, thus becoming the object of her hate. The natural consequence is that, she obtains a letire de citchet, and casts the soldier into prison. How he escapes and finally turns the tables on the woman is wrought out by the author in an ingenious and ertectlve way. As for Mr. Mantell, as Louis de Beaumont, he is said to All the picture with is personality and another great silhouette of romance is added to the gallery that he has made famous in the lust ten years. The engagement continue# the rest of the- week, including a Saturday matinee. “The Prodigal Father” has entertained the Park's patrons In past seasons and is therefore no stranger to them. The opening of its engagement this afternoon will arouse interest. New specialties have been added and the company strengthened. Lynn Welcher, Marney McDonougn, D. J. Hatpin, Joe Welch, Logan Williams. Rose Melville. Fanny T< mple. Bella Gold, Bessie Challenger. Murbeile Davies and others are in the east. Miss Davie* is u dancer of renown. "The Prodigal Father” remains the rest of the week. This morning, at the Pembroke, the advance sale for the Soldi concerts at Tomlinson Hall next Thursday will begin. The prices have la en made popular so that every one fond of orchestra music will feel

able to attend. The fame of Mr. Seidl as a director attracts to him musicians that other and lesser leaders and directors cannot obtain even for more money. A musician is essentially an artist and he prefers to work with the highest artistic ability. That is why the Seidl Orchestra has become famous, besides, of course, the brilliant directing of Mr. Seidl, whose ability has made him famous in all lands. Champion Robert Fitzsimmons and his company of vaudeville people will be at the Grand next week. The girls in both the principal and chorus parts of the Rentz-Santley Company at the Empire to-day represent several nationalities. There are five pretty English girls, three of them dancers and two singers; there is a distinguished prima-donna, who comes from sunny France; there are three Irish colleens and an Algerian beauty, who displays wonderful proficiency in gun spinning and juggling, and a large number of American girls.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1897.

FEDERATION OF LABOR 0 PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES ADOPTED 111 THE STATE ORGANIZATION. Terre Haute Chosen as Next Place of Meeting—Wholesale Arrest of Ofiicials at Hammond. * Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Oct. 13.—The State Federation this morning adopted a declaration of principles which perhaps may be regarded as the most important work of the convention. They were presented by John F. White, of Indianapolis, and are as follows: "From the fact that local trades unions and labor organizations art largely hemmed in by their special interests, finding little opportunity for work outside of the business incident to their particular trade callings, it is important and necessary that the State Federation of Trades and Labor Unions should seek to mold and Influence public opinion on economic reform, to lend its aid in the carrying forward of educational work and to securing legislative enactments tending to the benefit of labor. To the end that all labor work may be cart ied forward effectively and systematically, there should be a compact federation of labor organizations along the line of affiliated trades, and the cultivation of a fraternal feeliag among all labor organizations with the aim of general federation and co-operation. The Indiana Federation of Trade and Labor Unions, therefore, aims to secure such organization of labor throughout the State as will aid in bringing about these results. Asa platform of general principles we set forth the following declarations, based on the fundamental principle that all men are created free and equal, and endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; First—We affirm that labor is the producer of all forms of wealth which go to sustain human life and bring to it comfort and gratification, and therefore justice demands that each worker should receive the full amount of any value his labor produces. To accomplish this ought to be the leal aim of all labor organizations. It is essential, therefore, that in the effort to accomplish this result, the ptiuciples governing production be clearly understood. "Second—We assert, then, as a fundamental truth that the earth, as the great storehouse from which labor draws all its supplies, is the basis of all production, and is therefore its prime factor; that labor is the active factor through which all human needs are applied; that capital is but a resultant and subordinate factor brought into being through union of the two first named factors, and serves to multiply the efficiency of labor, but can never exist without labor and is not prior to it. “Third—We therefore assert, as a. fundamental reform, that in order to secure a full opportunity for labor, access to the raw materials of the earth should be on a basis of equality, and that this equality can be secured by the community taking for its own benefit the annual rental value of land, and relieving all forms of labor products from the burden of taxation. This will take land our of the speculative markets, make monopoly impossible and open up natural opportunities to labor. “Fourth—We therefore favor the enactment of laws tending to secure this resuit, and shall further endeavor to secure the passage of laws abrogating all class privileges, and enacting those promoting the ends of justice, and the general welfare of laboring people. “Fifth—We believe that the issuing of money is a purely governmental function, which is not to be farmed out to banking corporations, and that the national bank notes should be retired and United States notes substituted in their stead. So long as the metal system of money is maintained, the bimetallic is most likely to secure equity in exchange. “Sixth—We believe that all natural monopolies, such as railroads of all kinds, telegraph, telephone, gas and water supplies, etc., should be owned by the people in common. and controlled through their proper government, local, state, or national, as the case may be. for the general benefit. “Seventh—We believe that all laws should be passed on by the people. Therefore, we favor the system of direct legislation, known as the initiative and referendum. “Eighth—We continue in our adherence to the eight-hour day. to be urged as a desirable, healthful and beneficial reform, in itself, and indorse the position taken by the American Federation of Labor, locking to its adoption by the various trades. "Ninth—We Renounce the practice cf indorsing political parties or candidates, or indulging in partisan agitation, leaving each one to act as a free citizen in these matters, believing that measures only should be discussed, and feeling that as each member becomes well grounded in an idea, his intelligence will be the best guide in the matter of voting. “TYmth—We believe that there should be equal pay for equal work, without regard to sex or color.” The platform of principles presented by Mr. White was adopted by a unanimous vote. Other resolutions were adopted. Among them is one favoring tne more general use of the union label and urging the members to respect it. Another pledged the Federation to use its Influence toward requiring street ear companies to observe the law concerning the vestibule car in winter. Compulsory education was indorsed, and the following met with emphatic approval: “Resolved. By the Indiana Federation of Trades and Labor Unions, that we declare the attack of Sheriff Martin and his deputies at Lattimer on the marching miners was a brutal, unprovoked massacre, inspired by the coal operators to defeat the demands of the men for better conditions; and further “Resolved. That the ever ready use in late years of court injunctions, armed force and state militia in time of labor troubles is only part of the insidious programme to entirely subjugate the workers of America to the most debasing degradation; and further “Resolved. That we condemn most severely the wanton killing and wounding of the poor miners at Lattimer, and will do our utmost as unionists through our several organizations to create indignation against this cold-blooded, brutal, malicious murder of our fellow-workers in Pennsylvania, and, if needed, will financially assist in the prosecution of Sheriff Martin and his murderous deputies to the end that justice may be done to atone for these revolting murders.” Considerable discussion was elicited by a resolution offered by John Dye, of Anderson, requiring barbers to procure licenses. It was urged by Mr. Dye as a sanitary measure. It was opposed on the ground that it would be regarded as class legislation. Both the committee and the convention refused to adopt it. The committee reported in favor of the proposed postal saving system, and also in favor of limiting the bonded indebtedness of municipalities to one-half of 1 per cent. Terre Haute was selected for the next meeting, winning against Elwood by a vote of 40 to 42. President Perkins and Secretary Ralfe, both of Indianapolis, were re-elected. Edgar A. Healy, of Marion, was made first vice president, and A. P. Dye, of Anderson, second vice president.

TWO NEW OILERS. Akron and Manhattan Companies Make Strikes at Dundee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 13.—Two big oil wells were drilled in yesterday near Dundee, seven miles north of this city, which give promise of enlivening oil operations in this section. The developments near Dundee have always been steady with an occasional gusher. The wells completed yesterday belong to the Akron and Manhattan Companies. The Akron well is located on the Alexander farm and is pumping 150 barrels a day. The Manhattan’s well is on another Alexander farm adjoining the Akron lease, and is showing for 175 barrels. Altogether there are about one hundred oil men from this city and three hundred from Montpelier now in the Peru field. A Hartford City man who has just returned from Peru says that up to date about forty wells have been completed, with a total output of 3.900 barrels a day. Joint R. Walsh’s New Project. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, Ind., Oct. 13.—The dispatch from Seymour in yesterday’s Journal stating that the Evansville & Richmond Railway property had been purchased by what is known as an independent company, with John R. Walsh as the head, caused no surprise here, as this step on tite part of Mr. Walsh has been expected for some time by those who were in a position to understand the disadvantages that gt ntleman has had to undergo on account of not having the proper outlet for his immense stone quarry trade. Mr. Walsh is tite owner of the Bedford Belt Railway and also the Bedford Quarries Company, and the output from these quarries is immense. Tite Bedford stone business has reached a point where ownership or control of a good railroad outlet is essential. Home of the Monroe county quarries, which are largely owned by Monon officials, have been able to get favorable rates and abundant cars for all their orders, but have been com-

pelled to buy much of their stone from the Perry, Matthews & Buskirk Company. They are now preparing to open anew field by a seven or eight-mile branch road from Harrodsburg in order to increase their quarrying facilities. The Bedford quarries have an inexhaustible supply of good stone and are connected by the Bedford Belt with the Monon, the B. & O. S. W. and the E. & RThe Monon. however, does not always supply the Bedford quarries with cars when they are wanted. The E. & T. H. has abandoned the E. & R to its fate, and Walsh has undertaken to rebuild it as a part of the Bedford Belt. The Belt has almost enough motive power to operate the system, and it is asserted that two thousand new stone cars will be added to the rolling stock. The line will be operated from this point, Superintendent Thomson being a resident of this place. General Passenger Agent Roseman will also move to this city. Mr. Walsh has been making extensive improvements on the Belt during the past year, the most notable being the building of a large stone roundhouse capable of housing nine engines. New Hotel for French Lick. Louisville Courier-Journal. The directors of the French Lick Springs Company held their annual meeting yesterday afternoon. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Samuel Ouerbacker; vice president, W. S. Wymond; secretary and treasurer, Capt. John C. Howard. The matter of rebuilding the hotel, which was destroyed by fire Monday morning, was then discussed. It was finally decided to replace the old hotel with a handsome brick structure to cost about SIOO,OOO. A committee composed of Mr. John Doerhoefer, Mr. M. J. Fetter and Capt. John Howard was appointed to receive plans and bids for the construction of the new hotel. The directors were in session for several hours. Mr. Ouerbacker, when seen last night, said: “Work will begin at once on the new hotel at French lack. It will be of brick and will be modern in every respect. Money will not be spared in making it one of the finest hotels in this section. The grounds, too, will be improved. The springs are stronger now than ever, notaby the Pluto spring.” Rich Farm Land Burned Up. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLUFFTON, Ind., Oct. 13.-Over 100 acres of the best farming land in the northeastern part of the county has been rendered worthless by fire. This land lies near the source of the Eight-mile creek east and north of Tocsin. It is what is known as prairie land, and before the fire devastated it was as fertile as any farmer could wish for the raising of corn and potatoes. Ten days ago the Chicago & Erie section men set fire to some trash piles and the tire was communicated to the soil, which has been on fire since. The Erie Railway Company has agents going among the owners of the destroyed land trying to make settlement with them for the damage caused by their section men. Five years ago when a like disaster befell farmers in that part of the county some of them were paid as much as $37 per acre for their damaged land. The rain here on Monday did not quench the tlames, but it will serve to protect land not already on fire.

W ill Go Into Liquidation, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Oct. 13.—The First National Bank of this city will wind up its affairs and quit business within a few weeks, this action having been decided on at a meeting of the board of directors last Monday, but not made public until the close of banking hours to-day. The stockholders will act on the decision of the directors Oct. 26. President Samuel A. Culbertson stated that the directors felt unwilling to run the bank simply to pay expenses, and this state of affairs arises from the low rate of interest and the small demand for money. The bank has an ample supply of cash on hand, sufficient to pay all depositors on demand. The bank was organized in 1865 by W. A. Culbertson, father of the present president, together with Jesse J. Brown and others. It has never failed to pay a dividend every six months since then, and the business was successfully conducted from the day the bank opened. White Illver Polluted Again. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 13.—Indications of another terrible fish devastation in White river are very threatening. The river is running thick with the poisonous refuse dumpings from strawboard plants above this point and the fish are having a hard struggle for life. They come to- (tie surface for air and appear stupefied. Many are dying. Captain Coburn, of this city, one of Fish Commissioner Sweeney’s deputies, has begun investigations. Two years ago, when the wholesale slaughter occurred and fish were piled up by the wagonloads on the banks, the city brought action against the Yorktown Strawboard Company. They took steps immediately to head it off and arranged tanks to receive and purify the factory refuse. Two weeks nf>. on urgent request, the strawboard company having kept its promise, the city dismissed the proceedings from the docket. It is likely that they will be refiled if it is found that the poison comes from that source. Officials Arrested at Hammond. CHICAGO. Oct. 13.—Sheriff Hayes, of Lake county, Indiana, made a raid in Hammond to-day, with warrants sworn out as the result of the last week’s grand jury’s true hills. When he had rounded up all the citizens he was after, the following were listed as under arrest for the charges specified: Marcus M. Towle, president of the Hammond National Bank and founder of the city, renting buildings for improper purposes, two counts; Henry Crawford, justice of the peace, altering public records and embezzlement, two counts; Frederick F. Friedley, justice of the peace, embezzlement; George Randolph, alderman Second ward, compounding a misdemeanor; Henry Burge, township constable, suffering a prisoner to escape; Max V.

He is an Englishman and received his military training in South Africa. He has fought under Maceo and Gomez ana will return to Cuba in three weeks in charge of a filibustering expedition. Candidates Against Steele. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Oct. 13.—Cary E. Cowgill, one of Wabash’s prominent Republicans, to-night announced that he would be a candidate for Congress from this district. The announcement was not unexpected as Mr. Cowgill has had the subject under advisement for several weeks. There are now three candidates in the field in the district —Major George W. Steele, of Marion; Hon. S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo, and Mr. Cowgill. There are intimations that stlil others will go before the convention. Quincy A. Myers, a Lognnsport attorney, and Dr. Charles Good, of Warren, are mentioned as probabilities. Hon. James B. Kenner, of Huntington, is understood to have said that under no circumstances will he be a candidate. Will Not Have to l*ny Interest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, GOSHEN. Ind., Oct. 13.—The case of Solomon E. Slaughter, executor, against John B. Slaughter, was decided in favor of the defendant this afternoon and thus was ended one of the most peculiar cases ever brought in the Circuit Court here. The suit was brought to recover interest from Mr. Sluughtf r on SSOO. received by him- in DB3, from his father, in consideration of which he executed a contract to release all claim in his father's estate and also to pay interest on the amount. 1 fie attorneys for the defendant held that the contract was null and void, ps it was based on an illegal proposition in relinquishing something on which the defendant then had no claim. An appeal will be taken to the Appellate Court. sturke County Murderer Chiiklil. Special to the Irv.lanapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Oct. Li. —William Messenger. who killed Charles Nelson at San Pierre. Starke county. Aug. 12, was captured at the residence of Mrs. Atkinson, two and a half miles north of Marion, before daylight this morning. He has been in the county since Friday and the officers have barely missed him in a number of attempts to locate him. This morning Deputy Sheriffs C. C. Bradford and Carl Lewis, and Mayor Von Beliren led a party big

enough to surround the Atkinson house, and in a few minutes after their arrival Messenger was wearing handcuffs. He made no resistance. .Mar Have Been Buried Alive. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CORYDON, Ind., Oct. 13.—Peter Terry, who is supposed to have died from foul air while cleaning a well, was buried yesterday, and there are some people in the neighborhood who strongly believe that he was buried alive. This matter was freely discussed at the funeral, the minister conducting the exercises taking part in the discussion. Terry had no relatives or money, and was buried in a plain box. His body had not become rigid and cold, and one reliable gentleman claims he felt the throbbing of his heart. G*t*-Belt Insurance Lowered. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Oct. 13.—Insurance companies have just completed revising their rates for this city. They have made very large reductions on account of the improved fire protection. On city residence property the reduction will amount to about 10 per cent, and on business property it will run 15 per cent. The rates in the gas belt cities have been very high on account of the danger of gas explosions, which v.as always great during the first years of natural gas, the piping being very carelessly' done. The It nee War at Charlestown. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Oct. 13.—As the result of a race war, w’hich has been raging for several days between the white and colored boys of Charlestown, Clyde Masmer, white, and Bud Downs, colored, had an encounter in which both narrowly escaped being killed. Downs struck the Masmer boy over the head with an ax-han-dle, and the latter retaliated by laying Dowms’s scalp bare w r ith a heavy iron bolt. When separated, they were both covered with blood. Fortune* for Four People. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 13.—'Three weeks ago Mrs. L. Micheux, a poqr French woman residing in this city, received 6,00<j francs from France in settlement of an estate.

Decker & Sons, contract drillers, to-day developed one of the strongest natural-gas wells found in the Indiana field for two years. It was on the farm of Thomas Parker, north of Muncie, and showed a natural presure of nearly 5,000,000 feet. Shooting the well would be an impossibility, as the heavy tools were blown from the hole, and it is proving a troublesome job to connect the well with a pipe fine. Major Doiey Improving. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Echoes or song I may not hear again, Voices whore tones were silent long ago; Visions of orchards crowned with bridal bloom. Where apple blossoms scent the air of May, And from the sloping hillside comes the sound Os sweet-voiced children at their happy play. “Ihere is a low. sad rustle in the air, Among the yellow banners of the corn; The faded sunflower droops her heavy head. The garden border of its wealth is shorn, A subtle stillness broods o’er all the scene, The benediction of the year has come; The sheaves are garnered from the fading field. The husbandman has sung the "Harvest Home. 1 ’ The rustling leaves drop softly at my feet. Warm airs caress my cheeks with loving kiss, No chill of autumn shivers in the air. Yet something indefinable 1 miss. O. summer sweet, if never more on earth I mav rejoice in all vour beauty rare, I cannot say farewell, for we shall meet Where you will bloom more Infinitely fair. —D. M. Jordan.

NEWSBOYS’ FIERCE WAR TWO MOBS OF THEM SET OUT TO DO BATTLE LAST SIGHT. The Bnngaloos anil tlie Beavers <Colored)—Several People Hurt—Seene S-‘ar I’nrk Theater. * The Bungaloos and Beavers marshaled their forces last night and started bravely forth to battle. The Bungaloos are Irish newsboys and some young toughs from South West street, while the Beavers are the colored newsboys of the city and their allies. The chosen field for the direful carnage was the spacious plaza of the Statehouse grounds, but the intervention of a higher power prevented the dread arbitrament. A number of skirmishes, however, took place and among the casualties so far reported are three or four broken heads, a man in the hospital, a youth with a broken arm, one prisoner and a number suffering from fright. The story of the matter is simple enough. The Bungaloos and Beavers are two antagonistic athletic associations connected with the University of Journalism in Tron’s alley. The Bungaloos are white and the Beavers colored. The deadliest hatred exists between them and now and then a Beaver is ducked down into a cellar way or a Bungaloo is given an unseen blow in the head. On election day hostilities w r ere very pronounced ami a Beaver was so thoroughly scalped as to necessitate expert surgical art. Something had to be done and by mutual agreement a battle was arranged for last night. It is said the Bugaboos have for last night. It is said the Bungaloos have the honor of issuing the challenge and that the Beavers had to accept or be stigmatized with the name of cowards. The Beavers counseled and decided that death was better than dishonor. They rendezvoused on Meridian street north of Washington under the shadow of the beautiful monument and at 7 o’clock took up their portentous journey. They numbered seventy ebony, white-eyed warriors. Revenge was in their blood and stout lances in their hands. TheseWcapons were mostly heavy sticks of timber with nails for prongs to tear the flesh of the enemy, or heavy iron knobs to send crashing into their skulls. Some had bowlders wrapped in bandannas attached to poles, anti at least a few carried the time honored razor. Meantime the Bungaloos were also gathering in their clan and similarly armed were preparing to meet their enemy. The rest of mankind remained all the while in blissful ignorance of the impending barbaric spectacle. Even the university organ seemed unmindful of the fray , although a distinguished portion of its undergraduates was engaged in deadly grapple. THE BEAVERS MARCH TO BATTLE. The Beavers started toward the west with a big fellow named Sandy, who swayed a mighty battle ax. They first proceeded to the Park Theater, with none to molest or oppose them. Then they looked in vain for the Bungaloos, for those valiant fighters nad not yet appeared. However, a little boy was standing in a stairway, and as he bore the complexion of the hated enemy, he was hurled to the sidewalk in a twinkling. “Hold on,” yelled a Beaver. "He’s not a Bungaloo.” The boy was then allowed to go crying down the street. Suddenly an eagleeyed Beaver saw a white youngster perched high up on a fire escape. “That’s one Os ’em,” he cried out, and no sooner said than a rush was made for the ladder, and hand-over-hand a Beaver ascended. Reaching the top he gave the boy a blow and felled him on the fire-escape landing, after which valiant work ha returned to the ground. There being no more of the enemy in sight, the Beavers started north and halted at the corner of Market and Capitol avenue, where Claude Mcßride, a white boy about fifteen years old, was roughly handled. Mcßride is now at home suffering from an almost broken arm and a cracked head. The next skirmish occurred on the Surgical Institute corner. This time it was with the cripples. Crutches were knocked from under several of the helpless little fellows on the sidewalk and one in particular was given a taste of Beaver warfare. The most serious casualty also happened about this time. A boy about nineteen years old who was standing on the sidewalk taking in the spectacle was given a blow in the head, causing an ugly wound, which Dr. S. C. Furniss subsequently sewed up. The n&rae of the injured youth is John Donahue. He lives at 304 West Morris street, and was taken to the hospital. Up to this time the Bungaloos had still failed to come to time, but a great crowd of people who were not Bungaloos was gathering and excitement was increasing.

THE POLICE APPEAR. It was at this juncture that the bicycle police came on the scene. “The bull is coming,” cried the negroes, and Officers Holtz and Wallace came scorching down Ohio street so fast that they could not stop their w'heels. A wild scrimmage ensued, with the Beavers in rapid retreat to the north. One of the officers grabbed a negro who gave his name as Fred Williams. He is the only prisoner. The others never stopped, but rapidly disappeared over fences and through alleys, followed by the police. Both officers discharged their guns in the air, but this, however, brought only temporary terror to the pursued. The Bungaloos, in the meantime, had been gathering, but when they saw the affair had been turned into a fiasco by the untimely arrival of “the bull,” they hung around innocent like and afterward gathered along the sidewalk in front of the Park Theater. Officers dispersed them and arrested two young men on the charge of loitering. They were Fred Thompson and Tom Shipman, both about fourteen years old. Shipman had a hammer in his possession, and claimed to be a resident of Baltimore, stopping temporarily in the efty. They seemed to possess information regarding the operations of the Bungalows, and it was on account of their knowledge they seemed anxious to give out that they earned a ride in the patrol wagon. About the same time Sergeants Laporte and Crape encountered a detachment of. the Beavers at the corner of Illinois and Ohio, and amid the flying of bowlders made them scamper for their lives. Later news was received at the police station that the negroes were again gathering at the Empire Theater, but a hasty rush to the scene failed to And them. This was the last episode of the warfare for the night, although small knots of the two gangs could be seen until a late hour in various stairways and alleys about the town. The battle was prevented, but the thirst for gore seems only to be smoldering, awaiting anew opportunity for Its satisfaction. The Bungaloos inhabit the northwest part of the town and number about a hundred. Their badge is a cartridge wrapped in wire, and attached to their vests. They are led by a youth named “Senator” Moore and another named “Bunty.” The negroes have a number of leaders, among them being Cratlc Payne and "Sandy." Fred Williams, the prisoner, claims he does not belong to the gang, but that Payne enticed him along With the crowd. He had a stick in his possession, however, when arrested. Ho claims to earn a living for his mother selling papers. He lives at Hit Roanoke street, and is thirteen years old. He says that the Bungaloos would not let him buy any papers on Tuesday.
