New YORK, Nov. S-Kiernan's news
agency states that the New York Central
railroad has just reduced its rates to Chicago
to >lL This gives the West Shore differen
tial rate of 81 80. West Shore ticket sell at
$3.50, and brokers predict a greater
reduction.
The generel passenger, agents of the rail
roads leading ont of New York met Fri
day and considered the question of re-
ducing enligrant rates to the level of first
class fares. The emigrant rate to Chicago
today is Sl3 while first-class to the same
point nominally is Sl2, and tickets
can be bought readily for $40 at the offices OF
the scalpers. It is confidently predicted that
the Pennsy lvania road is making prepara-
lions to join in the fight, and that their
price will be very much lower. Rates to
points in the state remain the same, or about
l cent per mile

RIOT In THE VALLEY.
Hooking Valley the Scene OF al
Pitched Battle.
Armed Force of Supposed Strik.
ers Attack the Guards at
the Mines, Eut are
Driven on.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov 8--Another riot
took place in Hooking valley Thursday.
State troops have been called for Murray
City was attacked at 10 O'Clock Thursday
night by an armed force of men supposed to
be strikers The attack was begun about
one hour after Pinkerton's men went off
guard, giving place to the new company's
police. The mob fired upon the town and
the mining company's store from the hills on
all sides. The shots were returned by the
police, and became regular fusilade on both
sides.
The guards were driven in from the hill
above the hoppers, and had it not been for
the action of Pinkerton's men, who came out
just in time, the hoppers would have been
burned. The explosives were thrown from
the hills, and burst in the town, shaking the
earth. The strikers stood the terrible fire
poured into them by the guards, and re-
turned it with vigor that surprised every
one
After an hours fight squad of Pinker-
toms men, under Sergt. McCady, fanked the
attacking party and drove them off The
rocks in several places on the hills were
found spattered with blood, showing that the
strikers had not escaped unhurt. None of
the guards or employees of the company were
hurt The side of the company's store bears
marks of over 100 bullets.
Several of the company's houses were
almost riddled, and the windows we're broken
out all over town. Sheriff McCady was on
the ground at z a. M. All the telegraph
lines between Columbus and Murray City
were cut The Carbon Hill and Sand Run
railroad bridges were burned, which stops

Republicans Still Claiming the state.

NEW YORK, Nov. III a. m.-This morn
ing q salute of 100 guns was fired in the city

Democracy in honor of Grover Cleveland's
election to the presidency. The booming OF
The guns drew large crowd from the bul

park.
During the firing a portion of a wad from
a gun struck little newsboy named jacob
Simon in the face, knocking out his eye.
The Herald, Sun and Extra have with
drawn their bulletin boards. At The World
bulletin board this morning the crowd was
quite enthusiastic over the announced cleo
tion OF Cleveland and Henricks, and this was
increased when it was declared that Jay
Gould had conceded to Cleveland, and had
sent a Geographic dispatch to the governor
cOngratulating him

and still maintain that Blaine has carried

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-11-08

New YORK, Nov Result in this state
is now chiefly a question of the accurate
footing up of the long columns of figures
The footing of the county clerks, with only
few missing, indicate that Cleveland has
about 1000 plurality. The footings of the
election districts made III the Associated Press
office indicate that Blaine has nearly an
equal plurality. Twelve districts in the
state had not, up to this morning reported at
all Some sixty others had reported, but there
accuracy is questioned, and they will be
verified to-day. The whole list of counties
will be carefully readded to-day, and the
result of that addition, as well as the result
of the compilation of the county clerks
figures, will be sent out by the Associated
press. This work will probably not be com
pleted before night

here in the increase of cholera as announced,
and every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent its spread. Sixty cases of cholera and
twelve deaths have been reported during the

spread in Germany. The authorities have
thoroughly disinfected a number of honses
in the Rue Montreuil where i'll is stated that
cholera made its first appearance in a spo-
radio form. 1t is a thickly populated quar-
ter and does not enjoy good reputation for
salubrity.
