/ WASHINGTON, lND., December 25.-Addi
tional particulars from the village Of Mont
gomery do not materially alter the repor
sent last night. Sheriff Ward told ,
correspondent this morning that all tht
men had been taken home, and that Frank
Hunter was still living. Lyman Carrico Is
more seriously hurt than ut first reported
being severely stabbed, It's was also John
Connaughton. The Sheriff will make q
number Of arrests tomorrow. All is now
comparatively quiet, and the base OF trouble
has been transferred, 1t seems, to this city
in the following manner
Late last night a band of men, princi.
pally miners. md numbering about
twenty in all, entered the German Hotel
and beat Perry Collins, II clerk In the
house, nearly 10 death. Collins has been

pany, so he told your reporter this morn.
Ing, for a period OF three months, his mis-.
sion being to employ men 10 take the
places OF the miners at Cannclburg who
were out OIL strike. lie received notice
early in the evening that lie would prob
ably be attacked, but he did not believe
II, and had no time to escape. The mob
were armed with revolvers. and held tile
office until one OF their number beat Col.
lins into jelly. The wounded man is
bed.iast, but will probably recover.
There is high state Of feeling against
the assault so savagely made upon Collins,
but the mining element, which is large in
this city and vicinity, have no sympathy
for the man. Additional trouble is appre-
hended, as others are alleged to have used
their influence against the Caunelburg
strikers. The City Council will probably
put on a large police force 10 insure peace.

Alexander's motive was, he is already
making driving canvass, not expecting to
be elected, but desiring to run his vote
TO the maximum. Men do that every year

with the nomination, and the time to

WASHINGTON, D. O., December "5.-Dur.
Ing the civil service debate In the Senate
late on Saturday evening, a very sharp
passage occurred between Butler and IIoar,
In which the latter made very sharp re.

about shot ynns and shooting negroes,
when the Sonth Carolina Senator came
back on him In some severe thrusts about
dishonest elections in Massachusetts, to
which lloar made reply about his own

That created applause in the galleries. The
