Collision Between tbe Strikers and State Troops, In Which Two of tbe For. mer Were Killed aad Several Wounded. Bulletin. I Chicigo, May i, coon. Sheriff Hanchett, of this city, has just received word from Lmont that a collision occurred between the troops and striking inarrymen at that town this morning, and that two of the strikers were killed. Two companies of the Etata troops went to Lemont this morning to guard the quarries there and to enable the non-striking men to resume work. No datails have jet been received. The action cl the Sheriff of Will County in releasing the several strikers enptured by the troops near Joliet last Saturday and who came from Lemont is assigned as one of the causes for the present outbrea. Later 12:13 p. m. Three companies of State troops from Joliet left for Lemont and disembarked at the Excelsior Stone (Jaarrv, two miles soatb of Lemont. They were then advised that the strikers in large numbers had made an ateaulc upon men loading a canal boat with stone one mile north of Lexcont. Proceeding to that point, a collision between the troops and strikers occurred there a little before soon. The Evening Journal's Lemont special says: "About 1,000 strikers assembled at the depot here this morning with the intention of capturing tbe militia, if any came. Thty afterward wen; to Walker & Singer's quarries and routed the strikers there. At i):Z0 four companies of militia and a detachment cf Btttery C arrived from Joliet, with General Vance and Colonel Bennett in command. They stopped at the Excelsior juarry, and one company deployed as skirmishers; the other three companies marched to the quarries, where the mob congregate J, to disperse them. They were met on the edge of town by a moo of 000 or 400. Two companies, Company U, of Joliet, and Company G, of Bloomington, under the command of Colonel Bennett, followed the front and charged np the main street with lized bayonets. Colonel Bennett removed his command, except one company, from Joliet to Lemont, arriving at about 9 a. m., and formed a line south of Lamont. Deputy Sheriff Potter conducted the troops into Lemont, near the Alton Depot. AJ.OTHIR ACCOCRT OF TEC FIGHT. The strike among the quarrymen here and at Jolliett has finally assumed proportions of magnitude. Tlie men who went oat because they failed to recem an advance of wages from $1.50 to $1.75 per day, have been In a torbalent condition for foar weeks, during which period tbe quarries bare all been idle. A number of quarry owners had repeatedly tried to resume operations, bat tbe strikers invariably drove the workmen awaj. For two weeks they have dominated, and, in a measure, terrorized the entire surrounding reigoru It became evident on Friday that the county authorities could not control them, and the Governor was asked to send troops. He responded promptly by sending lire companies from Joliiet, Ottawa, Ltsalle, Streator and Blooming The first meeting between troops and strikers occurred between Lemont and Joliet Saturday afternoon, but 400 of the strikers who were marching on Joliet from Lemont tied when exposed, to sudden attack by the maiitia. Seventy cf their number, however, were captured by toe troops, disarmed and marched to Joliet under guard. On Banay morning however, tbe Sheriff of Will County released tbe prisoners and tbey returned t3 Lemont, where they are credited with provoking the trouble which resulted in the serious rioting cf to-dsy. The occasion of the bloodshed of to-day is, therefore, generally attributed to the ili-advieed action of Sheriff Rietz, ef Joliet, who has been charged in some quarters with having sympathized with tbe rioters. Matters remained quiet over Sanday, but when the troops arrived from Joliet this morning to protect the quarries at Lemont they were met by a very large and apparently well organized mob. Prior to tbe coming of the troops the rioters had boarded several passenger trains on the Chicago and Alton read, armed with clubs, to prevent tbe disembarking of any troops. The troops were landed, however, one mile south of Lemont at C:30 this morning. Colonel Bsnnett, commanding the troops at Joliet, received orders from tbe Governor to proceed to Lemont. A special train was in waiting, and at 8 o'clock four companies of tbe Fourth Regiment, with a detachment of C battery of artillery of Joliet and a gattling gun and camo equipment, left for Lemont. About one mile from tbe town they were met by Depaty Sheriff PotVer. The troops disembarked and the Sheriff ordered the Colonel to deploy his men, as there was a large crowd assembled at the depot w ailing for the trai a. Company D, Otta xra, wis extended as a skirmishing line throaga tbe qoarries. tbe line extending from the cacai to the bluffs. The main bady, C5aaisting of Comraoy A, of Streator, under Lieutenant SL Clair; Company G, of Joliet, under Captain Jackson; Company G, Bloomiegton. Captain Smith, and a Gattin gun detachment, under Lieutenant Kimber, of prinkeld, moved north along the bluff road until they reached the street crossing at right angles to tbe bluff, when they were met by the City Marshall, followed by tbe crowd making demonstrations. The Marlhall ordered toe troops to halt, but he was told by Colonel Bennett to "retire," or he won id be placed under arrest. He compliccf. Company G moved across the street, and, coin? ur the three streets north, took up a commanding position with the Gatlin; gun dfctKchnient under cover. Deputy Sheriff Potter then went forward and ordered tbe mob to disperse. They refosed. end Company A and B, in columns cf con; j an is advanced up the street aad drove the mob back at the point of the bayonet. Tbe mob then retired into the ho tees and yards, but a portion faced tbe troops making demonstrations and throwing stones. Soon those who bad tone into tbe bouses returned and attacaed ihe troops in tte rear, a signal being given by the firing cf a putol from a window. Company A suffered eeverel, no lets than sixteen men betag hit by stones, and one of them. Private George Bofcgs, was badly hurt, The rear rank of the company faced ab act and opened fire. Company B was attacked on ihe right flank farther north, and the first four of tee company was deployed across the read. As tbe mob panned in the attack come ten shots were fired, and Company A

charged the mob, which retired. It was here tbat the casualties occurred. Tbe command then advanced up the street and were ioined at the railroad depot by Company D, who had been skirmishing along the railroad at tbe point of attack, and advanced with tbe main body to tbe center of town, where the command was halted covering all the streets, the company going to the canal bridge. The command then went to Singer fc calcotl's quarries, but returned as the mob gathered again, but qhickly dispersed. The troops then went into camp, and though there are large crowds banging around everything at present is quiet, but there are grave fears of a disturbance as soon as night fall appears. Adjutant General Vance has arrived und made his headquarters at Singer's quarry. The troops have just received their ratiors, and are pitching tents. It ia claimed tbat a woman was wounded accidentally. She advanced toward a soldier with a reck, seized b's musket, and he tripped her up In falling she fell against

'the bayonet. Following is tbe fuU list cf tbe casualties: Jacob V ogawa, roie, knien, snot in the jaw; Henry Stiller, Pole, killed, shot in the bead; Mrs. Limash, bayonet woand; Jobn Politech, bayonet wound; Adolph Miller, bayonet wound in the arm. GETTTSBUKG BATTLEFIELD. Arrival of tne President and His Party. Getty? im. May 4. The historic visit of the veterans of the Army of the Totomao to the battlefield of Gettysburg occurred to-day. The occasion is the third of a series of annual visits to Eastern battlefields of the late war. The first visit was made to the battlefield cf Bull linn, two years ago, and the second to Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and tbe' Wilderne!s. The number of visitors to day, was much smaller than was expected. The President, who after two mouths of trying labor at the capitol, made this tbe occasion for his first holiday, arrived at 11:30. With him came the Vice President, Secretary and Mrs Endicott and daughter, Eecretary Whitney and Postmaster General Vila?, Commissioner " Black, and wife, (leceral Frey, the 8wiss Minister, and General and Mrs. Bcsecrans. The party were in charge of ex-Governor Cur tin. Among the people of note on the train were General Hunt, who was- chief of tüe Union artillery at tbe battle of Gettysburg; Geeeral (irten B. Kaum, General B B. Mnssey, General Hszen, General Brazg. General Ripley, Secretary Coon and Congressman Springer. Governor Pattison and Congressman Swope, the latter a resident of Gsttysbanr. met the President and party at tbe train aid escorted them to carriages.

Governor Pattison and ex-Clovernor Cur tin, led the way throagb the village to tbe cemetery, three-q darter of a mile awat, where the ceremonies of the day took place. Tbe distinguished gaests having asernb'eJ upon the stand, with the main body of the visitors in the front and below, were formally welcomed by Governor Pattison. Major Martin Maginnis, ex-Deleeate in Congress from mcnt reolied to the Governor's Bpeeshof welcome. General Black. Commissioner of I'enaiocs, was tbe next speaker. General Bcsecrans, as Chairman of the Congressional Commission on Invitatio as, on behalf of the Twenty-lirst Corps was charged with tbe duty of welcoming tbe National Legislature. Connt de Paris sent a letter Be said: "I would not have hesitated to crosa tbe Atlantic in order to witness a sigbt which is, 1 believe, without a parallel in the history of mankind. I believe it has never happened befcra tbat tbe military of two armies should, after twenty years, meet in friendly converse on the battle field to diacuf s every debatable point in the history of tbe great straggle in which they risked their lives, the one against the other. I would have found the greatest interest in these discussions, but in the present state of affairs I can not undertake such a long journey, and I must therefore ask you to oner my most smcera excuse to Governor Curtin." UEXRY TVATrERSOX. Be Gives a Characteristic Review of His ,1m previous of Dir. Cleveland and Bis Administration. Washington, May 4. Mr. Eenry Watter son, who has been here for the past week, will to-night send the following to his paper as e xpmsive of hie.impressions of President Cleveland and bis administration: A slight attack of sore eyes suggested a visit to Washington, and bavins tried the executive and department treatment forjiearly a week, it has oc coned to me that a brief account of some impressions of tbe adminis tration may not be without interest to the readers of the Courier-Journal Oaacer tain occasion Artemis Ward stepped in front of n:s canvass ana pointing to tne passing scene, said to bis audience: "Ladies tad gentlemea, these are horses. It was only this morning tnat the artla: came to me with tears in bis eyes and exclaimed, '1 can conceal t from you no longer, Air. Ward, tbey are horses.'" In its entire utter ances and appointments the administration hat ko spoken to tbe country. It can conceal it no longer.

Bat there is one thing about hies watch nothing can obscure, whicn tbovr itself in all be says and do. and which is blazoned upon all bis aipect. Tbat Is character, and the older I grow and the more i see of life and men the more respect 1 hare for rbaracier when brought in contact with intellect. Kbdj a man called dull and slow has by honest purposes and Inflexible will enlarged by nothing more luminous than plain, good sense, the oilspriosr of every-day experience, conferred Ines- . tin a tie Clewing, upon bis kind, whilst the his

tory of tbe world Is full of examples of currej bronebt by brilliance and genius misaoplied. Mr.

Cleveland is a p ain, sober man. There is notain f-ensaUonsl about him. He haa not. like so many politicians, a long conscience and a short memory. B is batestand bis loves are few, positive and sincere, lie has shown himself abundantly able to say "no," and yet, as I have seen him. no man has a livelier vJt.h to gratify the wishes of others. He wants io do the right thing and tbe kindly tbing, and there is not tne smallest doubt i hat since bis election be bas been inspired bv tne tmtat spirit of instice and the most con-f-cientious sente of duty, equally loyal to this great place and to bis party, acting no isvors. ana looking to his work to vindicate itsel!. Very great Icrbearance and a patient temper sh rail be extended by the public to such a public servant. He selected his political advisers by tbe rnle of fltuefs, and he bas inspired them with his own business like spirit. The departments are in bands meet unilorm and methodical. In even every one of them there circulates the atmosphere of the workshop. To say nothing of the practical benefits and utilitarian performance and promise, all this has a moral value incalculable. It is. in itself, a sort of Democracy, and a much needed one at that. The attack of Mr. Eostls upon the administration seems to rne equally onjost and unwise. As long as Senators snd Representatives insist upon frbariDg tte patrennge of the Government, they thould be willing to hare its responsibilities. Todsy the President is just two months ia ofSns. There has been no attempt to save a policy. The tbanklecs duty of hearing the appeals and considering the claims Of aspirants and tte friends of piiantr, has consumed all tbe time. Appointments mean d!f appointments, because for every place there are a dozen or more applietnt, and for each which he fails, the Fretiaent mnst tike tte risk of makiDgone traitor and eleven enemiee. No one understands ibis better than Mr. Eostia, who is a deliberate and thoughtful man, and be nee it is a matfr of surprlt-e to those who know him tbat be should break with the administration upon a simple question of patronage. There is little reason to doubt that when Congress assembles be will find himself in cloe agreement and sympathy with it upon all the leading issues ot tbe time, and so be will be placed in the awkward situation of baving bis approval and support forced upon bim in spite of bis personal hostility, a circumstance which whips tbe advantages of the controversy over to the side of the President. The Louisiana Senator, indeed, may get a temporary prent out of this at home, but, in the long run, it can not pay a man of bis character aad ability. He can of course embarrass the administration in the Senate, but something better ia worthy a Senator so eminent and so ambitious. After twentylour years of absence irom power, the Democratic party has. by little lc.-s than a miracle, come into the custody of the National Government; whether It retains that custody will depend upon the success or failure of the men it his deleFated to represent it. The party i? on trla". Inevitably it is bound to stand or fall bv its administration. It can not afford to quarrel with tnis upen natters ol detail, or ligauy to ciiiiciseiL I tave encountered but one spirit here and my opportunities for forming a jufement have txen the meat ample and this id a spirit ot loyalty to the party and to tbe country. 1 will stake my life upon the sincerity of this and I assure tbe disappointed and the doubtful among Democrats that, if the President should go luster than be is coin?, be would surely run his bark ashore. The administration that starts out to pieise everybody will end by pleasing nobody. Tnis administration is trying to do its duty. Beset on all sides by complications, and badgered day in and day out by imi ortnnities, it has aept its temper psssiDly well, and has made no more mistakes then re common to newcomers in office, and not to many as might have been expected.' The Attorney Ueneral'a Opinion in the Lawton Case, and President Cleveland's Keply to His Resignation. Washijgto.n, April 28. After the question bad been brought up in the Senate, on the last day of its special session, as to the eligibility, of A.H. Lawton, of Georgia, to the position of Minister to Russia, to wbicu position he had been nominated, President Cleveland submitted the matter to the Attorney General for an opinion. Tost opinion is now made public, under date of April 14. It is as follows: sjiu Mycpinion is requested on the follow inc cate: Alexander K- Lawton, wno nad been a cadet at West Toiut, and held a commission as Lieutenant in the United States Army, and in one or both of these characters, bad taten an oath which is contender1, and whieh 1 am to atsame, as a part of the case submitted.rbound bim to support the Conititntion.and afterward bore arms against the l niied States in the ar of the Rebellion. On tbe 6th of February, 167, he received a full perdon and amnesty for the part he bad taken lu tbe rebellion, and the question is whether he can held a civil ofiice under tbe United ,8 tales notwithstanding the third section of the fourteeuth amendment of the Constitution, which to?k eiltet on the 20th of July, 1858, end is in tbe following words: Site. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative In Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or boid any ouice, civil or military, under the United 8 tat es, or under any State, who. baving previously taken an oath as a mem ber of Congress, or as any officer of the United elates, or as a member of any fctate Legislature, or as executive or judicial officer of any State, to support tbe Constitution ot the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. Bat Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. The question presented will be disposed of upon the legal intent and meaning of this amendment. trior to the adoption of the amendment, tne k..ecutive. in the exercise of an uaqueationable power, bas granted pardons to tbe person wnose case is now under consideration and others standiu the same predicament of guilt. The power to pardon vested in the Executive by the Constitution was net given to te exercised capriciously, but when resorted to lu cases like the present, it should be in furtherance of the peace of society and in i he interest of the Government. buch being tne theory it must be presumed tbat every exertion ot tbat power in such case by the Executive Department of the Government was in lurtherance o the objects for which the power was cranted, for nothing is better established th&a that a want of lidellty to its constitutional duties never to be imputed to any one of tbe great coordinate departments of the Government if it be possible to avoid it. At the time the fourteenth amendment went into operation, Mr. Lawton and the other persons referred to had been restored by the pardons previously granted to all their rights as citizens, and had become, by virtue of thtir prdons, as innocent as if they had never committed tbe oflense forgiven, The question, then, tor my opinion is, whether it was the intention of tue fourteenth amendment to take away rights which previous pardons bad restored: or. in other words, whether it was the purpose of (list amendment to cast a reproach upon the Executive Department of the Government by repudiating, as unworthy of credit, its acts of unquestionable validity, by destroying the rights wnlci had endoubtedly vested under those acts, and by violating tbe National faith and solemn pledges. It can not be denied that the amendment is as comprehensible as language can maka it; but, at the tame time, i: must be remembered that the words of every law are te be taken in subordination to its intent, and tbat where they are general, their sanse will be restricted, if necessary to prevent an unjust or absurd consequence, which, it must be presumed, the Legislature could not have contemplated. It was npon this principle that the Supreme Court ol the United Statts, that held that an individual pardoned for taking part in the rebellion was not debarred Irom suing In the Court of Claims, by a law provioing tbat an order to recover the proceeds of csptared or abandoned property, the claimant must prove that he has never given any aid or eomfort to the present rebel, the ruling of the Court is aaod and the opinion fircceeds: Tbat this principle as applicable to toe nteipretation of constitutions as t9 statutes was conclusively establk-hetl by the rtuoreme Uoart in the slaughter bouse cause 113 WalL, 77 J, whsre tbe Court refused to accept the fall meaning of certain general words in the first section of the fourteenth amendment in order to avoid an in terrelation that would have Involved so great a departure from the structure and spirit of oar institutions as in the absence ot ex plecit language could not be presumed ta bare bten intended. Applying, then, this sound rule of interoretatlou. to the third section of the fourteenth amen 1 neat, I aa of opinion that the const fjaence of allowioif its eeneral words of exclusion to operate without limi ation in lavor of persons In tne sltusUau or Mr. Lawton would be productive of aa injustice and diiregard of tbe public faith which nothing short of the most explicit and controlling language should authorise. If tae conclusion I bare reached is not well founded, then it follows that II tte people cf the United States should amend tbe third section of the foarteenth amendment in tbe sin lie particular of requiring an unanimous instead of a two thirds vote of both houses to remove the disability Imposed onfall persons whose disabilities bad been theretofore received by a -two-thirds rote would find themselves again under the necessit of Pplylng to Congress-a result which would not be a whit less at war with justice than what would occur if Mr. Lawton and others in his situation were to bave been detraded bv the amendment to theconCitlcnof disability from whlcn their par

dons bad raised them. I am also of the opinion

that Mr. Lawton is not aceoted by the amendment because, at the time it was crdained, the ollense on which the disability imposed is based could not bave been imputed to bin for the reason tbat be had br virtue of bis pardoa become "a new man endowed with a new credit and capacity, his guilt bad been b.o'ted out, and be became as innocent as if be bad never com mitted tbe oflence " Vhatever vu his connection with the rebellion, tbe erTec: oi the pardon was to Close the eves of tbe law to a perception of it. 1 am of opinion, therefore, tiiat Mr. Lawton ia qualified to iioUl a civil oiUce -ioder the Government of the United States. I hare the nonor to be yours, very respectfully, A. E. Gahland, Atterney General. To the President. , Before the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral had been communicated to Mr. Lawton, and under date of April 17, he wrote to the Secretary of State, expressing his hrm belief in his eligibility, bot requesting that his came be not fnrtber considered in connection with thj pr,e. Before this letter rese'red Us destu jtion, Mr. Lawton re-' ceivd a telegram from the S?crety cf State based upon the determination of the President to be guided by the rpinioa of the Attorney General, informing Mr. Lavton that the President desired bim to proceed with his preparations for accepting tbe mission. " . Tbe following Is Trcs'd'nt Cleveland's reply to Mr. Lawton's final declination. Executive Mansion.. - ) Washington, i.pril 22, ISSi To Hon. A. R. Lawton, Savannah : My Dear Sik I reeret exceding1y that nr rty reason the administration is to be aeprived of yonr honorable and valuable sevlces In the mission to Russia. The opinion ot the Attorney General upon the question of your alles d disability, under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, was so completely atlsfacu ry. and removed so entirely from my mind all doubts as to vour eligibility, that upon reading it I at once decided to ask you to accept the position, snd I learn from the secretary cf 8tate that he telegraphed you to that eftect; but it seems that your letter of tbe 17th was then on its way, which was followed by tbat of the lfcth, affirmibg your decition. I sincerely itgret this determination upon yonr part, so unselfishly fotmed. and so patriotically expressed, and whilst 1 must reluctantly accept it as an announcement of your deliberate desire and personal wish, I can bnt feel that the country is greatly the loser by it.

Tbe Japanese Wrestler Charmed Quaker Wife With His AlmondShaped Eyes. His New York, May 2. MatsadaSorakichiand bis Quaker wife, formerly Miss Ella B. "Lodge, had a skirmiah yesterday. Erer since the pair were married aome time ago they hare lived a stormy life. The wrestler was ar rtsted several weeks after his . marriage on the charge of crnelty preferred by h!s wife. When tbe case came up for trial the woman relented, and ref osed to prosecute. Säe told tbe judge, though, to explain how she fir3t became infatuated with Matsada, that he had bewitched her, and she lost c Deplete csatrol of herself. When be fixed hla large, slmindabaped eyea npon her, the spell was complete; she was in his power. They were keeping house in the open flats. Soraticni never forgot the time wbe n his wife had bim brought np in court, and from a kind husband he changed, so she alleges, to a very disagreeable companion. The flat is on the fourih fl icr, east tide of the building Yes ttrday matleis came to a c:Uis, and tha wife succeeded by strategy in locking S rafc'cal out. All day long he mad a vain efforts to pet in, but ehe had the doors barricaled and whispered thronen the keyhole that he held tbe fort and would die before she would snrreDder. He pnt hii huge shoulders against tbe deer and pushed with all his might, bat did not succeed in gaining an entrance. The tenants in tbe building soon bscsma aware that something nncsual was going od. They heard a RUtterai voice and now and then a war cry. which was a cross between a coyote jell ard a Comanche whoop. Ihey peered over the bannisters from above and looked cp from below and eaw the cbamp'on wrestler perspiring and cavorting. He

hammered at the door when bis wife, Ella, yelled to him that she was in possession and intended to remain as long as provisions held out. Jaded and completely worn ontby ineffectual attempts to get in, tbe Jap retreated in bad order. He first thought of invoking the aid ot the law and having his wife arrested for treating him harshly." He chuckled over the idea and was well on his way to the station when he met a fellow Jap. the famous double sword ewallower, aad told him how he had been lecked out by a hard hearted wife. The sword awallower remembered the rom tbe wrestler had after the honeymoon, and how Matsada had won her back by his charm of fixing his eyes upon her. He advised him to pass the intervening hoars between then and evening stimulating himself with beer, and go quietly home and ask for a parley; that perhaps she would stick her head out of the door and all her old love would return. Matsada took tbe advice, and it worked like megic. His wife loaked oat of the door at him, and he fixed bis wonderfal a 1 mend-shaped eyes upon her. In ten minutes the past was forgotten and husband and wile &t down to a hastily prepared meal. AXOTI1EK TKltfK JUSTEKY.

The Body of a Dead ftlaa Foood Par ked la alinik at Pittsburg It Was Checked From Chicago. Pittsfurg, May 1. This evening about C o'clock Baggsgemaeter Jenkins, at the Union depot, npon bursting open a trunk which gave out a suspicious oder, was horrified to find therein the body of a man securely bound and in an advanced stage of decomposition. The face was badly discolored and bleated, and the etench was so great that it kept at a safe distance the large crowd which quickly gathered. The trunk was a cimmoa wooden one, and evidently had not bean used before. It arrived here from Chicago, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railway, at G:20 a. m. on tbe morning express, and was checked 4,171, bat no persjn called to claim it. The haggsgemaster noticed a peculiar smell when it was unloaded from the train this moraiog, but no attention was paid toil, until this evening, when the stench became uuoearable. Atter a consultation tbe railroad ohicials decided to open it, and tbe retail was the ghajtly discovery. Tre body, iu order to get it into the trunk, had been bent almost double; around the neck, arms and legs, was a hpinp ccid about one-e:ghth of an inch in thicknese, which had btwn drawn 83 tight tbat it had cut deep into the flesh. There was no mark of violence, and so far as could be ascertained from an outward examination, tbe stomach was in a normal condition. The body was that ot a laboring man, probably thirty years old, oi thort, heavy bnild, with a smooth face. He was dressed in a pair ot checked woolen pants, a bine checked Bhirt, and had on hia feet a pair of new con gresB gaiters. Tkere was nothing on his person that would furnish any cine to his identity, except, an international money order in favor of Fillippo Carnse for $2-5.04. The order was drawn at Chicago on Febroary 24, 18-.3 Immediately after tbe finding of tbe remains, Coroner Dressier was summoned, and the body was placed in hia charge. A telegram was sent to the ba?gage a it en t at Chicago, bnt he replied he had no means ef finding out who had checked the trank. The Coroner Is now holding an inquest He is of the opinion that the remains were in tbe trunk at least thirty-six hours. At the Coroner's inquest Dri. Hamilton and SbaT, who made a post-mortem examination, testified that there were external marks of vioienca on deceased. All his organs were healthy, except the lang, which were badly congested. This could result from suffocation or strangulation. Ia accordance with this testimony a verdict was rendered that deceased cane to his death from strangulation at the bands of persons to the jury unknown. There appears no donbt out that he was an Italian. The Police on the Track of the Murderers. Chicago, May 4. Francisco Caruso, a brother of the man whose dead body was shipped in a trunk from this city to Pittsburg, called at police headquarters and stated that he and the deceased were engaged in tbe business of peddling lemons; that at 9 o'clock last Thursday morning Fhilippo left the house at No. 75 Tilden avenue, where the brothers lived, for the ostensible purpose of finding a market in some suburban town for his lemons. That was tbe last seen of the dead man by his friends. Francesco Caruso save that when his brother left the house he bad between ?2C0 and $300 in his possession, besides the draft found in bis pocket. Whoever killed the unfortunate man did the woik very expeditiously, for his body was packed in tbA trunk snd checked at the Union Depot at 11:00 o'clock, just two and a half hours after he left home, jvndre w flussa. the man locked np at the Dfsplalnes Street Slalion on ensp'cion of being Implicated in the crime, bas told eo many conhictin stories about the mat! er that the officers are inclined to think he is the murderer. When first arrested. Rosso admitted tbat he knew Phillipo Caruso, but be denied an acquaint ance with h!a relatives. Yestsrday, Francesco, the brother, was confioated with ths prisoner and recogn?zsd as aa acquaintance. The efficers in charge cf the case have information which leads them to believe that the trunk in which the body was shipped was bought at a store near the home of the brothers. The police are now looking for three Italians who lived on the upper floor of No. 75 Tilden avenue, tbe home of tbe Caruso's. TbeEe three men knew that rhillipo had money in bis possession and some suspicion attaches to them from .the fact that tbey vacated their quarters last Monday. At a late hour last night the police had not found one of the three persons indicated. Officers McDonald and Ban field, who bave tbe case in charge, expect to unearth same important facts to-day. The Detective Bureau to day received from Pittsburg " detectives pieces cut from tbe pants, vest and shirt of tbe murdered man wbote body was shipped in a trunk to Pittsburg. These were Bhown to Francisco Carusso, and he at once identified them as cut from the clothing cf his brother. Pittsbcrg, May 4 The trunk; which contained the i e mains ot Phillip Caruso, and the clothing found on the bod v. were sent by express to Chicago to-day. Nothing new in the mystery has developed here. Religions Excitement. Bpectal to the Eentlnel. Tutos, Iod., May 4. Oer little city has been shaken from center to circumference during tbe past week, owing to the exciting meetings which are being conducted here by the wonderful evangelist, Mrs. Maria B.

The meetings are be lng conducted day and night. There are about fifty now converted, and hundreds mere seeking the Miration oi the Lord. Many remarks are being made concerning tbe prostrated condition ot those in trances, Bttribntirg it to mesmeric power.

A SEW DOG STOßT.

A Bab id Newfoundland Dog A Pet Sheep and Honnda. Sedalia, Mo., May 2 About a month ago Mr. Mack Huffman, a well to-do farmer, residing six miles east of this city, was aroused from hia slumbers one n?ght by a commotion among his geese. On going to the door he discovered a large Newfoundland dog killing them. Returning to . the house he got hia shot-gun and loaded it with buckshot, and on going out again found the dog had attacked a pet theep en, the premises, and had been In turn attacked by a pack: of hounds belonging to Mr. Huffman. After a severe fight, the hounds succeeded in driving off the intruding dog, which Mr. Huffman shot and killed. Nothing more was thought of tbe matter until a few days aco, when a vaiatble heifer belonging to Mr. Huffman ss attacked with hydrophobia, and since then two hogs, a honed and a calf have been similarly attacked and were killed, and it is hard to tell what amount of damage was done by this rabid canine. The eteep, which was badly torn by the dog's teeth, has apparently recovered. The chief point cf anxiety to Mr.' Huflman, is from the fac: that this sheep possesses traits and hktory both singular and interesting. Its motber haying died when it was born it was taken to the house and raised by hand. In te yard was a deg kennel for a pack of hounds which Mr. Hufiman keeps for deer driving and fox hunting. The lamb at once took up Its quarters in the kennel, and. as tbe hounds did not object, it was allowed to remain, and eccn became much attached to tbem, while they were zealous to defend it from any danger. As it grew stronger it would follow them in tbe chape, and for the past two years has been their constant companion in the hunt, leaping fences like a deer, and always keeping up with the foremost hounds. Sa strong has become tbe affection of tbe dors for their queer companion that they will not follow a trail without it, cr permit any stronger animal to molest it. Mr. Huffman prizes it highly, but fears it will fail a victim to hydrophobia. A HOL KOB DEBT. A Desperado bhoots a Baggageman aad Express Messenger, Hilles the Safe asd Escapes.

He soon regained his senses and managed to get to kls feet and grasped the bell rope, giving the alarm. As the train" slowed r.p the robber jumped off and escaped. The wounded men were brought here. Weber was conscious and gave the meager facts known, bat his recovery is dcubUul. Davis is aliye, but has. been unconscious all the time, his brain oczing ont of tbe bullet hole, and he can cot recover. Both men were taken to their homes at New Albany and Louisville to-day. Two hundred men from here and tbe citizens in the neighborhood of tbe robbery are scorning the "country frr the robber, but at C p. m. we hear nothing of hia capture.
