Lyons wqs shot and instantly kilted by Samuel Marley, a driver in his employ. Ax interesting bit of evidence dropped out in a trial at the county-seat of Jackson County the other day, in a case in which the Monon railroad was sued for killing a $200 cow. The plaintiff, Mr. Robert Harden, of Salem, proved that he could have prevented the destruction of his cow if he had walked two squares. He did not do this for the reason that by so doing he would be disappointing a large number of subscribers for the daily papers. He preferred imperiling his property to d spleasing the subscribers who were awaiting the distribution of the daily papers. Hexrt Kroxhaoe, an employe of Kixmitier’s brickyards, Vincennes, fell between the cars the other night and was fatally injured, both legs being cut off and his head horribly crushed.

The trial of George Banks for the murder of John Hammond, which occurred in Monroe City, Knox County, in January, commenced at Vincennes, on the -4th. Banks was a saloon-keeper, and Hammond was thrown out of his saloon while in an intoxicated condition. Banks was tried once on this charge, but the jury disagreed. The jury was impaneled, and the case will occupy the attention of the court for a week. George Birxsworth, charged with murder, was released at Marion, a few days ago, the case against1 him being dismissed. On September 20. 1885, Weden A. Owens, nine mites north of Marion, was called from his door and killed with a shot-gun. The murdered man's wife and two sons were tried for the crime and acquitted. Suspicion then pointed to Hiram K. Hendricks, on whose land Owtn was a squatter. His son. Tom Bumsworth, Harvey Rlickenstaffer, the elder Hendricks and Blickenstaffer left for California and never returned. Burnsworth disappeared, but was captured in February. Tom Hendricks was tried and sent up for two years. The evidence against Burnsworth was too weak to warrant a prosecution. The presumption of his guilt was strong. Mrs. Ruble, of Edwardsport, Knox County, better known as Annt Nancy, was found dead the other morning in her bed and an empty vial near her pillow. The i vial had contained carbolic acid, of which she drank during the night. Mrs. Ruble had been twice married, but separated from her second husband some time ago. Although blessed with enough of the world’s goods to keep her from want the balance of her days, she professed to be very poverty stricken, and the thoughts of becoming an inmato of the poor-house so weighed on her mind that she lost her reason, and while laboring under a fit of aberration took the fatal dose that ended her life. Bishop Dwexger has appointed Rev. Joseph H. Brammer Vicar General of Fort Wayne Catholic Diocese in place of the late Monsignor Benoit, who filled the office for years. Rev. Brammer has been pastor of the cathedral congregation for many years, and dnring the Bishop’s eight months’ absence in Europe he administered the affairs of the diocese. The appointment give* great satisfaction. David Carroll, a deaf mute, aged four teen years, crossing the track ahead of a coal train, at New Albany, was run over by the engine and three cars. Every internal organ was torn out, and both arms out off, the body being cnt in two. Testimony before the coroner showed that the boy had been very troublesome, jumping on cars and crossing tracks while the trains were moving. The finding of the coroner's jury was accidental death.

BLOODY WORK. The Chicago Anarchists Bogin to Fulfill Their Threats, And Vm Dynamite With Fearful Effect Upon a Squad of Police-Terrible Ketaiatiofc—Scenes Among the Wounded dad Dying Policemen Chicago, May 5.—The lawless element Is still industriously at work in the i:• tuber region. One or two threatening crowds were dispersed yesterday morning by the police without bloodshed. The police entered upon their service with spirit and the engagements were short, sharp and decisive. In the afternoon, in • rain storm, about seven hundred strikers marched upon the paint works of Cary. Ogden & Parker, 276 to 284 West Eighteenth street. The foor special policemen on dntv were pelted with stones

nnu o ticks, ana soon nea ior uieir lives One of them stumbled and feH, and white lying on the ground fired into the approaching rabble. The rioters halted for a moment, until one of the leaders waved a rusty saber over his head and urged his companions to kill the prostrate officer. About this time the Hinraan street and Twelfth street patrol wagons filled with officers rattled down the street. When the blue vehicles neared the rioters, the officers took aim over each others’ shoulders and fired volley after volley over the strikers’ heads. The effect was amusing. Men with their pockets filled with stones, and men with Slavonic beards and wooden swords huddled behind barricades no more substantial than a picket fence) others darted down Eighteenth street to Center avenue, near which is a sort of . rendezvous for the thousands of foreign strikers in the neighborhood. Here the mob made a desperate stand. Officer Small, of the Hinman Street station, leaped out of his wagon and started after one of the leaders of the riot, who was yelling to his comrades to blow up the police with dynamite. He ran into the crowd and grabbed the Anarchist by the neck. The latter screamed for help. The rioters surged about the officer and his struggling prisoner, and then fell upon the former with stones and clubs. Officer Small, to defend himself, fired several shots into the crowd, but without effect. The shooting then became hot and indiscriminate. Small’s comrades ran to his assistance, but before he was rescued from his perilous position he was shot through thfi hand. His prisoner escaped. Reports of exploding cartridges came from every quarter and the air was filled with smoke. “KHX THE HIRELING®,” bawled a man with red whiskers, as he pointed an ancient revolver at Officer Small. Before he coaid pail the trigger Qetective Michael Granger struck his hand and the weapon fell to the ground. The mob then pounced upon Granger and dragged him into the muddy street. A rock' as large as a eocoaimt whizzed past his cheek and a brick hit him in the forehead. The detective fell to the ground with a stream of blood pouring from a jagged wound. The remainder of the officers becoming exasperated at the resistance displayed by the rapidly-growing mob, fired a score ol shots into the surging, howling mass. One man was seen to drop, but his comrades picked him up, and hurried through a neighboring alley. The sight of Anarchist blood seemed to fill the rioters with fear, for as soon as they learned that one of their number had been shot they fled precipitately. * The officers then charged upon them and captured seven of the leaders. They were taken to the Twelfth and Hiumau street station. Rain tell incessantly daring the fight/ After the officers had departed with their prisoners, the clouds roiled awav and the sun shone brightly. The little children of the Anarchists came out of their houses and played on the sidewalks. An hour later the wives of the Anarchists hung themselves over the gates of their front fences and talked wildly to; each other. ; Then the Anarchists themselves crept out of their dens and skulked along the streets like thieves in hallways. They carried clubs aud slung-shots, and appeared as though they wanted to hit somebody. The officers being in sight, they sat on the curbstones and fire-plugs until it was dark, and then they resumed their restless prowling about the streets. At half-past seven o’clock two of the scabs employed at the McCormick reaper works had the temerity to walk east on Eighteenth street to Center avenue. Two of the prowling Anarchists recognized them. The scabs did not know this. When the scabs reached the corner the two Anarchists' pounced on them and threw them to the grouud. Other Anarchists theq came up and began to beat the prostrate men with clubs. The screams of the unfortunate men were heard by Officer Quigley, of the Twelfth street station. He ran to the rescue, bat was driven back by a shower of stones. A shot was fired by one of the Anarchists, and then a cobble-stone struck the officer in the breast, felling him to the ground. He regained his feet, however, and turned In an alarm to the Twelfth street station. Vive minutes later twelve officers leaped out of a patrol wagon and cleared the street. Chicago, May 5.—Three thousand men And boys stood-aronnd three barrels and boxes on Desplaines street, between Randolph and Lake streets, at eight o’clock last evening. August Spies, the editor of the Arbiter Zeitung, the Anarchist organ in this city, stood on one of the barrels. He-made a brief speech to the crowd, and then introduced A. R- Parsons, one of the pronounced leaders of the movement. The latter told his hearers that instead of getting ten hours’ pay for eight hours’ work, statistics proved that workingmen to-day were only getting two hoars’ pay for ten hoars’ work. He warned bis audience that the time would come when the brntal oppression of the capitalists would drive every one save themselves into the ranks of socialism. There was more danger to capitalism from the Knights of Labor outside of the organization known by that name than from the organization itself. The existing social order was founded in fraud, and maintained by force, and he counseled his hearers to arm themselves and be prepared to meet force by force,' tor they were in the majority and could not but triumph. He did not wish to incite to bloodshed, but if blood were spilled the capitalists would be responsible tor it, for they kept up the perpetual panic in the homes of the poor by their ever-increasing and grinding exactions. In a little while, he said, the American

While Fielden was talking a dark cloud rolled out ont of the northern horizon, ft swept the zenith, and had the appearance of a cyclone. The great crowd of So* clalists, fearing that a totnado was ap> preaching, began to seek shelter. The Anarchist leaders urged the ineu to ad* t>urn to Zepps* Hall, which is only about alt a block away. The ominous cloud had now passed over the Crowd. The vast audience was now encouraged to remain by Ftelden, who said he would.delain them pat a few minutes, as it was getting late and threatening railfc “The air Is fined with fear,” he said, with a shrug of his shoulders and a tremor iu his voice. “The capitalists know it.

as me auarcmsi conciunca a oouy oi men were seen approaching iiumeasured tread. It appeared like a phalanx of Masons returning from a private assembly or drill. The stillness of tlieif approach was ominous and appalling. The 3,000 Anarchists crept closer to the barrels. Then a hundred stars ami a thousand brass-buttons flashed^ in horizontal and perpendicular lines at the street intersection. They were muter command of Lieutenant Ward, who immediately proceeded to read the riot act to the Anarchists. Me had hardly concluded when some one outside of the crowd threw a bomb in close proximity to the policemen. A territic explosion followed, and as if bv a preconcerted arrangement, the mob closed In on toe police with knives, pistols and firearms of all description*. The police had no alternative but to mow them down. The scene that followed, can not be described. Blood Bowed as freely as water and meivdropped on every hand. The latest reports state that three policemen have since died from their in» juries, and probably a dozen of the mob. Patrol and ambulance wagons have been busy picking up dying and wounded men and taking them to hospitals. At the present writing, martial law prevails in the vicinity of the conflict, and it is worth a man’s life to appear out of doors. Any one caught on the street is commanded to throw up his hands, and an immediate search of his person is made to see if he has concealed about him any dynamite or explosive. API:30 a. m. it was impossible to obtain a list of the casualties. Officers Henson, O’Day, McCarthy and Deagan and a striker, a Bohemian, whose name could not be learned, are known to be dead. A telephone report from the> hospital where the injured are being conveyed says that no rioters brought there have as yet died, although a number lie in a precarious condition. SCENES AT THE HOSP1TAE. Chicago, May 5.—The result of last night’s terrible encounter between the Anarchists and police wilPnot be known for hours. Policeman Joe Deegan and an unknown Bohemian are dead. Policemen Sheehan, Barrett, Redden, Keller and Miller are mangled and dying. Thir-ty-five other policemen are wotmded more or less severely, and nobody knows h»w many citizens and rioters are wounded. Officer Hensen made his way homeward, alone and uiydded, as is proved by' two citizens who saw him passing the comer of Union and Lake streets just after the explosion, holding one hand to his leg as he went. He was asked what was wrong,but cried out “don’t stop mp; i’m shot shot full of holes.” The scene in the Desplaines street staAftm at one o’clock this morning was an affecting one. The wives of many of the wounded officers, who had been summoned from their homes, besieged the doors of the assembly room and begged to be admitted. Their pitiful requests, could not be granted. Surgeons bent over the bloody forms, probing and cutting into the terrible wounds made by the shell and bullets. Redden, of the Central detail, whose legs were shattered and whose face was destroyed, kissed the hand of the priest who was administering the last sacrament to him. , Another officer, whose body was cut and pierced, begged the attendants to kill him in order that he might be out of misery. Up-stairs in the sleeping rooms twenty officers lay groaning and crying in agony. No less than seven priests were at the station prepared to administer the last rites to the wounded officers. They were Fathers Kinsella, Hickey and Carnes, of St. Patrick’s, and Fathers Walsh, Malone, O’Byrnc and Coke. Senator Frye’s SS 00,0*0 Amendment. Washington, May 4.—The prevailing sentiment among Senators appears to be that the amendment of Mr. Frye to the Post-office Appropriation bill, appropriating $800,000 for the carrying of mail in American vessels to South and Central American ports, Australia and Japan, will be carried by a majority of about ten or twelve. It will not lie a strictly party vote, by any means, as there are several Republicans who will vote against it and several Democrats who will favor it. Mr. Plumb, who is in charge of the bill, is very confident of the adoption of the amendment. As soon as the question is seUled he intends to leave the city for a few days. It’s Ended Anyhow. New York, May 5.—Speaking of the notice of the Knights of Labor that the strike on the Missouri Pacific was m an end, Mr. Gould said: “This notice'is ap well enough as far as the striking em ployes and the Knights of Labor are concerned. From their standpoint th» strike was not ended nntil to-day. It was ended some weeks ago as far as the Missouri Pacific railroad was concerned. There has been no strike for three weeks. The strike ended on the day that Mr. Powderly and his associates sent word to me that they desired to have the differences submitted to arbitration.” A Party of Vigilantes Foiled. Nebraska City, Neb., May 4.—A wellorganized gang of vigilantes had arranged to attack the jail between two and four o’clock this momiug and lynch tlrt Shellenbergers. The sheriff, however, having been informed of the plot, has removed the prisoners to the penitentiary at Lincoln. It is now thought that Allen Shellenberger was concerned in the murder of Thomas Leonard, who was mysteriously killed here two years ago, and in still another murder and other crimes. It is said that a watch owned by the murdered man Leonard has been found in Shellenberger’s house.

THE SHORT HOUR MOVE. The £ltnt j»ud Results of the Movement Summarised ft> Brudstreet's-Coaeessloas Grunted Without Strikes Show a Gratifying Age re c*te td Workingmen—Three Hundred and Twenty-Fire Thousand Men engaged In Working Out the Frotr lent. Kkw York, May 8— One week ago Bradstreefs presented the results of an extended telegraphic Inquiry as to the probable extent ol the movement on foot among trade unionists to , secure fewer hours of daily labor without decrease in wages. It was shown that so far as theft made public 105,000 men would strike within the week, that 6,000 were already on strike to that end, and that eight (or other) hours had already been granted to 82,000 employes at various points. It was i plainly indicated ' that over 225,000 men were moving in the matter, either by request alone or with threats to strike. As it is now made plain, these figures were below -the mars. BmAatreet’a special telegraphic inquiry this week, while presenting totals materially in excess of. those foreshadowed on last Friday, shows that the aggregate number of strikers for fewer hours’ Work dailv has not been* as large as some “estimates” and other careless editorial utterances have stated them, possibly for the reason that the mobs of idlers, Anarchists and others at Chicago and Milwaukee have not been included as workmen on strike. The totals given herewith will doubtless prove Wider rather than over the actual aggregate, hut are believed to be the result of as elosd an enumeration as the present mixed condition oi affairs at varions industrial centers

'vlll permit. The “Eight-Hour” demand has already been transformed Into a “demand for shorter hoars,” so many of the positions taken originally haring been changed by compromises. An attempt at this time to distinguish clearly or fully as to the "extent of the movement for eight, for nine, or other hours is impracticable. There is reported to Bradstreet's from twenty-two cities 111,000 men to whom shorter hours have been granted within a week without the effort of striking. The largest total Is of So,000 Chicago packing-house employes. The cigar-makers aggregate some 19,500 in number, of whom 15,000 are in New York, 1,800 in Detroit and 1,800 1b Chicago. ThC bnilding trades, including bricklayers, carpenters, painters, plumbers, stone cutters, etc., furnish a total of 22.000, to whom shorter hours have been conceded, Washington, New York, Chicago and Baltimore quotas accounting for 18.000. In the group, including' miscellaneous, | there are over 17,000. Smaller totals, to whom shortersXburs ; were conceded without striking, are: Tobacco factory workers, 8,200 (5,000 at Baltimore); furniture makers, 8,300 (8,000 at Grand Rapids), andjh3,300 machinists (2,500 at Chicago and .800 at St. Louis). The total number reported striking fro shorter hours i&l 50,000, at various cities, as follows: Chicago, 50,000; New York. 85,000; Cincinnati, 32,000; Milwaukee, JT,000; Baltimore, 6,000; Boston, 4,700; rtttsburg, 4,250; Detroit, 8,000; St. Louis, 2,000; Washington, 1,500; Newark, 1,200, and eleven other cities with fewer than 1,000 each. The total number striking among the building trades is 25,000; ^Cincinnati, 5,000; Boston, 4,700; Pittsburgh, 8,100, and Washington, '1,500; patternmakers, 80,000—20,000 New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City; 8,500 Cincinnati, and 5,000 at Chicago; 15,000 furniture-makers— 7.000 Chicago and 4,000 Cincinnati; 3,000 cabinet-makers and 3,000 piano-makers, both at New York, and 8,000 laborers— 5.000 at Cincinnati. The total number of employes to whom shorter huurs have been granted after striking is 85,000, one-half of whom are classified as miscellaneous and probably 10.000 of the 17,000 are In Cincinnati. There are 5,000 among the building trades—1,000 at New York and 1,000 at Newark; 1,000 piano-makers at New York; 3,200 machinists—3,000 at New New York, and 1,900 agricultural imple-ment-makers. Summarizing the results: Total reported striking for shorterhonrs, 150,000; total reported last week, 6,000; total, 156,000. Total seen ring shorter hou rs with strtk- .. ing. 111,000; total reported last week, 82,000; total, 143,000. Total number engaged in the short-hout movement, 299,000. Total to whom shorter hours granted after striking, 35,000. It is more than likely that with all union strikes included the grand total on strike will prove to be near 175,000, with which, in all probability, the 150,000 to whom the demands were granted withoutany strike will bring up the total of those actively engaged in the short-hour move- / ment to 325,000 workingmen. The Labor Question iu Pittsburgh. Pittsbi-kuh, Pa., May 8.—The labor question in this city has practically settled down to the demands of the stonemasons, stone-cutters, cabinent-makers and bakers. It is probable that a general strike of the latter will occur to-day. Their demands are for twelve hours’ daylight work- Forty of the smaller shops have conceded the demands. The journeymen at 120 other bakeries will probably refuse to go to work in the morning. There is a prospect that the furniture firms will reaeh an amicable settlement with the cabinet-makers. It is understood they will agree to the Eight-Hour proposition, but will ask a readjustment of wages for piece work. Two hundred teasers and mixers employed in twenty South Side glass-houses struck yesterday for an advance of ten per cent, in wages. Five hundred employes of the bar and sheet mill departments of Byers’ pipe mill also struck lor ten aud fifteen per cent, advance. The difficulty will likely be settled to-day. Estimates of the numbers of mtgt on the strike in the two cities, place the number at two thousand. ■" ^ ^ The Culumbes Celebration. Washington, May 7.—The members of the Exposition executive committee had an interview with the President yesterday afternoon, with reference to the proposed celebration at Washington of the fonr hundredth anniversary of the , landing of Columbus and the Centennial anniversary of the formation of the Government of the United States. The President expressed much interest in the subject, regarding it with great favor, and said it should receive immediate consideration, that he might determine what was proper for him to do officially.
