Railroad RIOt-EOt Murdered. /.

CHICAGO, December ga special
from st. Paul says serious riot is IN
progress on the Northern Pacific
Railroad. Some sub contractors
named Gregg & Co.. who were given a
contract for three miles of the road, /,
drew their pay from the contractors,
Smith & Gould, and absconded with
out paying the men. On hearing of it
they tore down the shanties, seized
the wagons and stores, and drove the
General Superintendent from the
ground. They were told that they
would be paid for their work, but de-
manded also pay for the three days of
the riot. This was refused. On the
request of the Governor, General
Hancock has sent orders TO Fort Rip
ley for troops to quell the riot.
It is proposed to arrest the ring
leaders and pay off and discharge the
rest Of the men.
It turns out that Thomas Kennedy,
whose dead body was discovered at
Ninety one North Wells Street, yes
terday morning, was not murdered. as
supposed. Kennedy, while playing
cards iE E saloon, adjoining the alley
in which he was found, attempted TO
leave without paying his losses. His
opponents made an attempt to arrest
him. He rushed up stairs 60 the
roof of the saloon and fell therefrom
into the alley, causing his death. His
pursuers thought he had escaped, and
we're astonished when his body was
found in the morning.

LONDON, December 28.-General
Chaussey complains bitterly of the
Prussians. he denies having been
defeated and avows his intention of
taking revenge for the acts of vandal-
ism of the enemy.
So. Calas, in the Department Of the
South. 26 miles from Lemans, has
been visited by the Prussians, who
left the town however. after making
requisition on the inhabitants.

GossIP-A PAIL MALL OPINION FRENCH
ARMY OF THE NORTH.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-Lt is rumored
that the Prussian Court has expressed
its disapproval of Queen Victoria s
matrimonial alliance between Princess
Louise aud the Marquis of Lorns.
The Pail Mall Gazette warns Eng
lismen that they cannot do worse than
persist in the idea that the people of
the United States are friendly to
England. The fact is diametrically
otherwise. At any moment the Amer
leans may inflIct an intoleTable insult
on the British people.
The French army of the North has
concentrated around Arras. The
health of the troops is excellent.
