Is any laboring man fool enough
to believe the Democratic party
would legislate to injure labor and
the industries of the country?
Would it injure labor and pro
duction to take tax burdens off?
Has not pauperizing of labor been
going on under Republican high
tariff taxation, misnamed "protec
tion?"
Is not a change, reform, desir
able? Does not every intelligent
laboring man realize the need of
driving the Star Route party from
power?

COL. NiORROW's PAY ACCOUNTS
The Story of the Tour in Search of "a Loan
of $4,000.

OI &O,UOU.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Before the
Court of Inquiry into the charges of Bank
er Bateman against Gen. Swain, Col. A.
z. Morrow, of the Sixth Cavalry, was
witness to-day. He said that he had gone
with Maj. McKibbin to Gen. Swain to ask
for a loan of $4,000; that Gen. Swain said
that he was unable to loan that sum, but
referred him to bankers, who he said did
that sort of business, and gave him note
Of introduction to Mr.. Bateman; that in
company with Maj McKibbin he had gone
to Mr.. Bateman and asked a loan of
$4,000, which had been refused him:
that finally he had accepted
from them a loan of 81, 800, depositing ac-
counts for four months pay as security.
He said that he had not said ANYTHING to
Gen. Swain about his pay accounts at
the time of the interview. On crOss-eX-
animation the witness was asked if the
accounts he deposited with Batemen g.
Co. as security were triplicates of his paw
accounts.
Mr.. Calklns objected that the witness
should not be asked to criminate himself,
and the court sustained the objection.
Mai. McKiDbin was called to the stand
and testified to having gone with Col.
Morrow to see Gen. Swain and to
the fact of their subsequent visit
to the bank. The witness knew from Col.
Morrow of the condition of his accounts
and of his having duplicated and tripli-
Gated his vouchers. He did not tell Gen.
Swain about them, and did not know that
Gen. Swain knew anything about them.
He had not mentioned this at Mr.. Bate
mans because they had refused loan of
the entire amount, and he told Col. Nor
row not to take the 81, 800 offered. He did
not want to make the fact known except
the loan could be secured, and that was
why he had not mentioned it to Gen.
Swain or at the bank.

On Thursday night fashiOnably attired

rived at the Niagara House. The man in
trOduced the girl as his niece, Miss Edna
Tate, of Harper's Ferry, and asked for a
room for her. When the apartment was
assigned her he visited it to see if it was
suitable, and soon after took his depart
ure, leaving the young girl alone. Yes
terday morning the hotel was filled with
gas. which was traced to Miss Tate's
room, and when the door was
broken open she was found insensi-

sicians were Immediately sent for, but
death ensued last night. The police have
been searching for the man who brought
her to the hotel without success. He had
stated his intention of returning yesteT-
day morning for his niece, but did not do
so. Inquiry of responsible parties in
Harper's Ferry prove cOnclusively that
the name Tate is a false one. There is
not a single clew to the girls identity,
and suspicion is gaining ground that
the man who took her to the hotel turned
open the gascOck while in the room. The
girl was quite pretty and evidently well
educated and refined. The physicians
think that she was about to become a
mother.

THE NEWS OF MACON.
Desperate Struggle with a Negro Pri
oner-A Railroad Suit.

Desperate Struggle With Negro Pris-
oner-A Railroad Suit.
MACON, GA. May 12.-Mitchell Wool
folk, a negro confined in the Bibb county
Jail, charged with arson and burglary,
made desperate attempt, Sunday after
noon, to break Jail. He had been chained
to the floor, so desperate was his charac-
ter. In some manner he broke the cham
and was preparing, with ten other pris-
oners, to make an onslaught on Jailer
Foster and escape. A young negro pris-
Oner informed Jailer Foster of the scheme.
Jailer Foster, assisted by two policemen,
took Voolfolk out of the cell and carried
him to the office down stairs to explain
how he broke his chains. This
Voolfolk refused to do, became
insolent and swore that he would
not return TO the cell. A scales
was standing near. Voolfolk seized a
weight and threw it at Mr..
Foster. The latter then drew a
pistol and fired over Woolfolk's
head, expecting to intimidate him.
The shot did not have the desired effect,
however, and Voolfolk hurled a piece of
iron at the jailer, whereupOn Mr.. Foster
shot him in the leg. The prisoner then
became submissive and returned to the
cell. Jailer Foster anticipates another
attempt of the prisoners to break Jail.
To-day the Superior Court is hearing the
case of Crosby against the Central Rail-
road, where a widow is suing for $50. 900
for the death of her husband, who was an
engineer when collision occurred in the
winter of 1880 near Griswoldville, when
President Wadley and Vice President
RaOul had a narrow escape from death.

A KNOCK DOWN In GLOVES
MITCHELL SENDS EDWARDS TO
THE FLOOR NINE TIMES.

A HOwIing Mob 5000 Strong In Ecita-
cies Over the Proceedings in Madison
Square Garden-Capt. Williams Fin
ally Stops the Match-Edwards Com
pletely Used Up.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Probably 5000
people gathered in Madison Square Gar
den tonight to witness the glove fight be-
tween "Charley" Mitchell and "Bnly''
Edwards. Edwards was the first to ap-
pear, and he was loudly cheered as
he scrambled through the ropes.
He appeared to be overtrained,
his face being thin and color
less. He was accompanied by Arthur
Chambers and his brother sEWorry'' Ed
wards. Mitchell was the picture of
health, and was in perfect condition. His
second was Chilly" Madden. j. b. Nc
Cormick, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was
chosen time keeper, and "Bob" Smith
acted as referee. Mitchell is % years old,
weighs l54 pounds, and stands 5 feet So
inches. Billy Edwards is 40 years old,
feet AZ inches high, and weighs 1876
pounds. The men had never seen each
other before, and when time was called
faced each other like true scientists. After
preliminary sparring Edwards led off with
blow at MitchelPs body, but without
much effect. The mob howled.
THE FIRST KNOCK DOWN.
Edwards hit again with his left, but
was neatly stopped, and received a cOun-
ter on his head that made him turn. He
danced off, with Mitchell after him. when
he fell under the ropes in his corner.
While he was on his knees Mitchell hit
him twice in his face. The crowd yelled
'tOuP loudly and persStently. Capt.
Williams 1npqarpO on tho SonOp and told
Mitchell to 90 to his corner, which Nit
chell was disinclined to do, and Edwards
came up to him. Both put up their hands,
but Capt. Williams insisted on a rest.
During the delay time was called.
KNOCKED DOWN SEVEN TIMES.
At the opening of the second round Ed
wards hit short with his left, and Mitchell
returned hard right handler on his OppO-
nents face, which made "Billy" vince.
Mitchell followed up with a crusher with
his right and Edwards went down under
1t. Edwards received a couple of addi-
tlOnal taps going down each time, but
getting in good one on MitchelHs fore
head. After this Edwards seemed to lose
his grip, and Mitchell went for HIM right
and left, knocking him down four times
within as many minutes. After the fourth
knock down Capt. Williams interposed
and separated the men in spite of the un-
willingness manifested by Mitchell to
obey his orders.
CAPT. WILLIAMS STOPS THE SLUGGING.
When time was called for the third
round Edwards came up smiling but was
very grOggy. He was promptly floOred
by Mitchell with a right-hander. He was
preparing for another onslaught when
Edwards should get to his feet, when
Capt. Williams stopped the fight and the
match was declared a draw. Edwards
was completely used up and could
scarcely stand. Mitchell showed geat
improvement in his style since his last
exhibition in New York, and is anxious
to meet Sullivan again.

CHICAGO, May 12.-There was a reflex

CINCINNATI, o., May 12-The special
grand jury appointed to consider crimes
in connection with the riot and the burn
ing or the court house, made their report
to-day to Judge Avery. The report treats
at length of the causes leading to the riot,
and speaks of the common report that
jurors were bribed or the general COM
plant that courts permitted too
many delays, and that good
citizens avoided Jury duty to
the detriment of fair administration
OF justice. 1t also points out defects in
the criminal code. The report cOmmends
highly the conduct of the Fourteenth

praises the bravery of Capt. Desmond.
who lost his life IN the court house. Fifty
four indictments were returned, covering
twelve different grades of crime, but
nothing further will be divulged concern
ing these until arrests are made. Judge
Avery, in receiving the report, made a
brief defense of the courts, and remarked
that the public would judge whether the
jury had done its work well or not.
1t has been made known that one of the
indictments found by the special grand
jury was against 7. G.. Camp
bell, the attorney who defended William
Berner, the murderer of Kirk, for bribery.
Mr.. Campbell, upon hearing of the in
dictment, went to the court, waived legal
notice of the indictment, pleaded not

THE .FLORIDA'sv SURVIVORS
Nothing Additional Learned Upon the
Arrival at Quebec.


QUEBEC, May 12.-The balance of the
survivors of the estate of Floridav dis
aster landed here last night from the bark
Theresa, which came up under sail last
evening and anchored at the upper bal
last ground. l
The New York agent of the State Line
is understood to have boarded the bark on
Its arrival and taken charge of the sur
Ylying officers and to have lodged them in
a comfortable hotel. He did the same for
the four steerage passengers.
Chief Officer Thompson appeared much
worn and detected. The party were
called upon but refused to speak of the
accident at all. The seamen were taken
to the river police station and there duly
registered. They were less retIcent than
the officers, but were unable to throw any
light upon the cause of the disaster, having
been for the most part in bed when the
collision occurred. They appeared to
have endured many hardships on board
the Theresa, which did not have accom-
modations for 80 large ships company.
CAPT. MUNRo's STATEMENT.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Capt. Munro, of
the Anchor Line steamer City of Rome,
whose conduct in passing a ship contain
ing survivors of tine State of Florida has
been severely criticised, has made a state
ment with regard to the matter, in which
he says that on the 23d of April last,
while passing group of six sailing YES
sells almost becalmed, within a dis
tance of two to three miles
of each other, one of them
was observed at a distance of two or three
miles displaying signals which were in
terpreted to be "shipwrecked, crew safe,'
but no urgency signal was displayed, or,
if it was displayed, it was not seen, nor
was the name or nationality of the ship
given. Had any signal of distress or
urgency been displayed or seen it would
most certainly have bad immediate at
tention, but as 1t is not an unusual occur
renee for vessel to have on board the
crew of some disabled ship it is not
thought necessary to tender assistance
without being asked.
