ELECTION IN MEXICO.

Fearful ftiotins at the PoIls-The People
Attack the Government Troops and
Drive Them from the Pole, Killing
T~wenty.four Soldiers-A Large Number
Of Persons Killed and Injured.
MONTEREY, November 12.-State and
Municipal elections were held Sunday
through the State of Nneva Leon and the
adjoining State of Coahuila. Meagre re-
ports from Saltillo, the capital of the State
of Coahuila, bring intelligence of terrible
tiots in that place at the time of closing
polls. Five men were killed outright. and
over two hundred badly hurt. Serious riots
are reported from the towns of Santa
Catarina, Bustamente and Sabinos, all in
the State of Nueva Leon. No reliable in
formation of the riots is obtainable at this
hour, but dispatches state that fourteen
persons are seriously wounded at Santa
Catarina. At Bustamente the riot was gen.
eral and lasted several hours. The autEOri-
ties of that place are suppressing the par
%ticulars. Sabinos Hidalgo is the same city
where a mob attacked and killed the III
popular Alcalde, Don Jose Santos, and the
Chief of Police on the LIST OF October last.
The riot Sunday at Sabinos is believed to
have been more serious than elsewhere.
The citizens rose enmasse and attempted to
drive the Government troops from the polls.
A pitched battle was fought in the streets
and the troops sustained a serious defeat.
Colonel Jose Rangel, commanding the
troops, was killed during the fight. together
with twenty-four of his soldiers. Thu num-
Der of citizens killed and wounded is not
known, but from the fact the troops were
we'll armed and drilled it is believed the
havoc among the citizens must have been
fearful. district Judge Carols fighting on
che side OF the people, is Known to have
been killed. Rioting is also reported from
several smaller towns in both States. The
outbreaks are attributed to the presence of
troops at the polls where it is claimed that
they actually interceded in behalf of the
Government candidates, intimidating voters
and openly preventing many from exerciS
ing their right of suffrage.

Several Persons Killed in Dublin and
Brunswick Devastated by Incendiaries.

Brunswick Devastated by Incendiaries.
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 17.-At two O'Clock
yesterday morning word reached this city
that a terrible riot was in progress in Dub
lin, Laurens County, one OF the most thrifty
towns in the State, with a population of
5000. Tho place is forty miles from
railroad and telegraph, but meager reports
received picture the turmoil as
a race war in which several lives
have been lost. What thepresent condition
of affairs is is also unknown. Mounted mes
sengers were sent to learn the facts, but up
to a late hour nothing had been heard from
them.
On the heels of the rumors of riot came
the intelligence that Brunswick, a seaport
town of 1000 inhabitants, had been fired
by ~inccndiaries, supposed to be
negroes. The fire was discovered
a warehouse in which was stored oil
and other combustible material. There
had been no fire in the building, and incen-
diarism is the only theory as to the origin.
The flames were quickly communicated to
adjoining buildings and sped onward with
Wncontrolable.fu fury. The wind carried the
flames through all the houses OH Monk street,
east of Oglethorpe street, and all north on
Grant street. Not a building was left stand
ing, and the scene was one OF terrible devaS-
tation. Very few of the occupants Of the
structures had time to save anything. 1t is
estimated thai between seventy and eighty
buildings of various descriptions were de-
stroyed. The total loss is placed at fully
$3.50, 600, and the insurance will probably
not exceed one-tlrird OF that amount. Eight
blocks of stores are in ruins, nothing being
left standing in most cases but the chin

THE HOOKING VALLEY TROUBLE.

Governor Hoadly Has Decided to Send
rroops to Protect Property-Proclama-
tion to the Citizens Of Perry, Athens and
Hooking Counties.
COLUMBUS, o., November 1.-THE as
meet of affairs in the Hooking Valley, owing
to the incendiarism and lawlessness of a
certain element of the striking mirers, is
growing more serious; in fact, something
has to be done and that quickly, or much
valuable property will be destroyed as well
as many lives lost. A dwelling house at
Sand Run owned by the Columbus & Hook
ing Coal and Iron Company, has been
burned. The matter has become so seriou
that the Governor held a conference at his
own request with the sheriffs of Hooking,
Athens and Perry counties. members of tho
syndicate and Coal Exchange and Mine In
spector Bancroft, who has been all through
the troubled district. The Governor has
concluded to send five companies of the
State militia to the scene of the troubles.
1t is very likely that all work will be re-
sumed when the militia appears In the
valley.
Governor Hoadly at loon yesterday issued
a proclamation to law-abiding citizens of
Athens, Perry and Hooking counties, ask
ing them to actively assist the civil author
tiles in suppressing the disorder and crime
now rampant in the valley, and in bringing
the criminals who have destroyed life and
property to punishment. The Governor
says if they do this there will be no occa.
sion to send troops into the valley, but that
order must prevail in those counties If it
takes the entire military force of the State
to accomplish 1t.
The fact is, a reign of terror exists in the
valley. People are afraid to do anything
against the murderous and incendiary ele.
ment among the strikers, and the sheriifs OF
Athens and/Perry counties are candidates
for reelection and will do nothing to punish
the foul crimes committed in their counties.
Business men of Columbus are beginning to
agitate the question whether it is not time
for the authorities to put a stop to this
existing condition of things, which is in
juring the business interests Of the State
and city to an alarming extent.

CHICAGO, November 12.-The seventh
annual Fat Stock Show began yesterday
morning at the Exposition building under
the most favorable auspices. United States
Commissioner of Agriculture Loring, who
was expected to deliver the opening ad.
dress, could not be present. The formal
opening. therefore, was postponed until
last night, when Mayor Harrison delivered
an address Experienced stock men assert
the exhibit of stock is as fine as was ever
seen at Smithfield, England. Great con.
test for supremacy between the breeder of

and attention is more concentrated upon
butchers stock than on horses, as in former
years. The work of awarding prizes com.
mences at once and will continue until lbe
close of the exhibition on November 20.

Peter Force, New York journeynan

became the proprietor Of a printing Of
fee, and originated, and for some years
compiled without charge, the Biennial
Register" better known from the color
of its bindings as the "Blue Book" Of
which the. Government purchased a
small number of copies. Fond of
Ameican history, he in time collected a
large quantity of rare books and pam
phlets. many Of which had been thrown
away from the executive departments as
rubbish, and purchased BY him Of the
dealers in waste paper. In 1888 he
originated the idea of compiling and
publishing documentary history ofthe
country under. the title Of 1.-THE Ameri-
can Archives" and in order to secure
the necessary appropriation from Com
gress he associated himself with Mat
thew st. Clair Clarke, the Clerk of the
House Of Representatives. This publ
cation was q joy, which distributed
considerable sums Of money, for d num-

in which Mr.. Force could carry out his
