A Point Scored by the American Union
Company.
BALTIMORE, Oct 3l.-Thc Baltimore g. Ohio rail-
road company to-day took possession Of the entire
lines photograph on tho Plttsburg division, which
have been operated In connection with the West
ern Union telegraph company until to-day when
all connections with that company were severed
and the wires transferred to tno Offices of tho
American Union telegraph company at Plttsburg
ConnclSvllle and Cumberland. This change adds
about 500 miles Of limo and fifty new offices to the
system of telegraph lines operated 10y the Balti-
more & Ohio RAILROAD company and tho American
Union telegraph company. and opens to the I'M
portant towns md vast coke region along the Pitts
burg and Connellsyillc Railroad the bene-
fits of the enterprise and cheap rates for tcle
graphing offered by the American Union tcc
graph company while It sewers communication by
the Western Union telegraph company with these

Political Dlsturbnnoo in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3i.-N a republican meeting last
night brick was thrown into crowd Of negroes
one of whom was struck. The negroes then rushed
toward q saloon on the corner Of Twelfth and Lo-
Gust streets, under the belief that the brick was
thrown from that point on arriving ct tho sa-
loon they were confronted by three policemen
who prevented them from entering, They began
throwing rocks at the saloon, breaking It's VIM
dows whercupOn one Of the policemen discharged
his pistol In the air, as a call for help. Promls-
cuotis firing then began, during which an old ne.
gro named Brown was killed Policeman slattery
struck on The head by rock and severely
Injured. The negroes say Brown was killed
by the policeman who fired the shot In the air.
SO iul US can be ascCrlalncd only one
person was killed and Policeman Slattey
and negro wounded. The exact origin of the
disturbance Is still In doubt but II does not appear
that there was any concerted purpose or action TO
break up or seriously disturb the meeting. There
were good many negroes IN tho procession and
at the meeting aud they had been hooted at and
otherwise provoked by lot Of unruly fellows dur.
ing the march. This was kept up aller they ar.
rived at the meeting and some OF them resented II
by using their torches over the heads Of some of
their assaants. This led 10 throwing stones and
other missiles as the negroes, and then the firing
begln, A dozen men were more or less injured
by polcemcns clubs when the latter charged tho
crowd. James Simmonds negro, had his skull
fractured, and will probably die. John Wigman.
u while man, was shot IN the hand, Several
Others were pounded and bruised with clubs and
torches. Policeman slaltery Is In critical condl-

Health, wealth and prosperity throughout nll

a Characteristic Move by Cofree-Pot Wal


HARRISBURG, penn, Oct. 30-Tho democrats
hope to gain partial victory In Pennsylvania.
The plot l. an exact counterpart OF the plot of 1873
concocted at the famous sunday conference at the
Girard house Philadelphia, whereby the democrats
resolved TO abandon tho fight for Dill for governor
and concentrate their energies upon capturing the
legislature, with a view TO electng democratic
United states senator The present determination
means an abandonment OF the fight for Hancock
IN this state, and struggle In the close congres.
sonal districts for the epurpose securing sufficient
members to keep control Of the national senate
and house.
Senator Wallace was here last week and laid out
the plans for the local leaders. lie showed no
interest whatever In the democratic candidates eX-
ccpt those for the legislature, aud his morose de.
mcluor and conversation gave evidence that he
had lost all hope In the pending struggle. With n
republican legislature his occupation as states
man is gone, and he Is fighting hard TO retain
supremacy by strategy, md by mRssing his
energies IN certain close districts he hopes to win
The rank and illo of the democracy are astonishcd
at tho exposure, and are already crying
"treachery" Where the secret conference was held
has not us yet leaked out.
