How MAN WAS KILLED WHILE ATTENDING
POLITICAL MEETING.-A special to the Philadel-
phia Press from Scranton, November 2, says
During the progress of greenback meeting,
held in this city last evening, young man
named Brian Judge, of Providence, suburb Of
The meeting was held in front of the Valley
house, and was quite large, the crowd filling up
the avenue and the pavements on both sides.
AT certain points fireworks were exploded, the
bands began playing. and the noise and confu-
sion startled the horses attached to the car. SO
that they became unmanageable. The crowd
suIged about the car, and in the rush Judge was
crowded upon the track and fell under the front
wheel The horses, in their fright, plunged
ahead, and the car ran over the PROSTATE man,
breaking his back. He was carried into the
billiard room OF the hotel and died shortly
after. in much agony. Fearing that the crowd
would take revenge on the street-car driver, as
was whispered. Chief of Police Delay took him
in charge. and later in the night released him
upon nominal bail. An inquest will be held to-
MORROW. No blame attaches to the car driver.

sar Ia the prairles in the vi
cinity o: Cow Island there are
now ranging somewhere near FIVE
hundred head of wild horses
and mares. There is actually no
sale for them-they are a perfect
drag on the market. Something
ought to be done with them, as
they eat off the range, and leave
hut. little pasturage for horned
cattle, though as a general thing
the cattle are in fine condition.
1t is the opinion Of those who
know anything about it that
horses eat while sleeping conse-
quentl, they sweep a long range.
And it is, also a known fact that
horned cattle lie down and sleep
during the long hours of night

The New Orleans Ring.

Having entered the lists as the
champion of the peoples rights
against the horde of professional
politicians, the New Orleans
P,coyune has but one alternative
of disgrace and that is to continue
the battle she has SO manfully
begun. To a dispassionate OBJ
server, the war of words now be.
ing waged between it and the re.
cognized organ Of this Political
Ring, the New Orleans Democrat
is quite interesting. There is but
little doubt that the description
Of the ring given by the Pic is a
true one. For the benefit of
those who are not we'll posted in
regard to the Status of the afore-
said Ring we make the following
extracts : "The several successes
Of a certain combination Of pro-
fessional politicians, known as the
ring, have created for the afor-
said P. P.'s a sort of Fictitious
reputation. The impression has
partially gone abroad that those
gentlemen, by the force Of native
genius, experience and acquired
influence, have become invincible.
Young men are not enough re-
minded of the days when there
were giants in this State who
could have put the whole CLIQUE
in their vest pockets, and would
have counted it as very small
change. We have had politicians
in Louisiana who could do any.
thing from working a ward up to
negotiating a treaty. offensive
and defensive, with ~irstclass
European powers. We have had
statesmen here, too, who could
hold their own upon the floor OF
the F<lerai Senate with the read
lest debaters and ripest political
scholars of America. We have
had orators who could carry the
multitudes with them to this side
or that, as the moon swaps the
tides over the broad surface o
the deeps.
1t cannot be that the noble
breed is all gone. It must b
that there are men among US cap

equal terms, with a small coteri'

Of them would dare to meet upol
the stump a Clay or a Webster
a Silas Wright, or even a Conk
in, on any question of nationa
import? Seriously, the enem.
is overrated.
The struggle at Baton Rougt
was q hasty and ill-prepare'
j. effort to shake of the incubu
which we all feel. There is tim
now to get our resources within

ASHLAND, KY, Jan. 30.-The greater num-
ber of the mob assembled to prevent re-
sumption of work on Monday have dis
banded and returned to their homes after
establishing permanent arrangements Tor
the prevention of miners acceding to any
propositions from the company other than
those presented and demanded by their
Union. The matter seems to have mar
rowed down to the question as to which
can hold out the longer, the company with
out business or the miners without ealing.
CosHooToN, o., Jan. 30.-The miners
struck at the Union Mines, near here, yes
terday, because s. w. Robinson, the Super
intendent, would not reinstate some men
whom he had discharged. They have or
ganzed q Union here for their protection,
and seem to desire to dictate to their em-
ployers who shall be employed.
PITrsBURa, Jan. 30.-There was great
deal of commotion among the striking glass
pressers Yesterday, but the Union men Gre
ated no disturbance. All of the members
of the Union have been instructed to keep
away from the factories, but as an extra
precaution police have been stationed by
the Mayor at each factory, and the entire
police force on the South Side ordered to
keep sharp lookout in the vicinity of the
factories. The striking pressers received
from SIG to $22 per week when employed.
Several of the large firms have started up
with green hands, and number of others
are preparing to 60 on in few days..
