PROSPECT OF SERIOUS TROUBLE OVER THh CHI
NRsE oUEsTIoH-KEARNEY FEARS AssAs-
sINATIoN.
A San Francisco dispatch OF last evening
to the Virginia Chronicle gives the following
account of the state of affairs in that city rela-
tive to the Chinese troubles: 1.-THE unem-
! ploved Yesterday waited upon Alex. Sharon OF
the Palace Hotel to ask for the discharge Of
his Chinese employees He declined to allow
their interference with his business. The
leaders of the movement informed the crowd
of the result, and added that in their opinion
it was no harm to kill such man,
Mrs. Smith, who has been prominent in the
movement lately, suggested dynamite as a
means of removing the Chinatown nuisance
Unemployed women are joining the ranks Of
the paradsrs.
At meeting of the Eleventh Ward Club
of Workingmen, last evening, resolutions
were adopted promising that there was an at
tempt to be made to prevent the condemna-
ton of Chinatown, and that, being Law abid-
ing citizens, they would defend, with their
lives, their leaders in enforcing the law, and
offer thousand armed men to aid the gov
eminent in carrying out its provisions. Speak
ing Of this resolution, Kearney said he had
been informed from reliable source that
secret movement was on foot to crush the
| anti Chinese crusade, the Chinese Six Com
panies and some of the merchants being the
instigators and the Police Department and the
National Guards the tools; that the enemies
of the Workingmen were to inaugurate the
trouble by starting fire or row; then Kear-
ney and the Mayor were to be assassinated by
policemen in the disguise of Chinese high
binders, and that the Chinese, armed to the
teeth, were to be letiloose to massacre women
and children, selecting the labering portion OF
| the city as their victims.
Regarding the test case now before the
United States Circuit Court, involving the
constitutionality of the law forbidding corper-
atoms to employ Chinese, he would accept no
decision bat that of the people, and they say,
| s'The Chinese must Co." He would leave a
| list of the names of persons that were to be
guillotined in case of his assassination, and
his assassination would be a death blow to
every workingnan and woman in the civilized
world. He announced that the Ward Pres-
dents, Mayor and Workinsmen city officials
would meet at the heada quarters of the party
to-day for purpose not stated
AL Marston has added a card room to his
saloon.
DIR. Mckenzie is still wrestling with the
here and Omaha.
HUI PARKER WINS A GUN.-On Monday
last there was pigeon shooting contest at the
recreation grounds in San Francisco. Nine
teen men came to the scratch to shoot. The
prize was S175 Parker gun. 1t happened
by the merest accident that Hub Parker, the
famous tragsdian of this city, was on hand,
and as soon as he saw that Parker gun was
to be contested for remarked
eff that guns got my family name on l
want it.
And 50 he went in with the rest !; and as
soon as he stepped to the front people said :
| "Whos is that queer looking chap from
the wild sagebrash eountry''
| No enc knew, however, but all proceeded
to lay odds against his hitting the first bird
AS soon as the trap was sprung little Oakland
pigeon, about the size of Franktown GALL
nippsr, rose and began to zigzag about in the
air. Hub Immediately sent in charge of
| No. 6 shot, and cloud burst of feathers
foated in the faces of the spectators After
that, whenever a bird rose from the trap,
Hubs gun would send it TO hunt grass in short
order, and when the match was over the sage
brusher had made the biggest score and raked
| in the $175 gun. Whenever Carson sends a
man down to San Francisco to take a hand in
any such sport he always brings back some
thing.
