WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - Secretary
Manning to-day settled the controversy
over the contract for repairing the revenue
steamer Crawford at Baltimore by award
ing it to the Columbian Iron works and Dry
Dock company of that city, represented by
Mr. Master at its bid of SIT. An in
teresting labor question is involved in this
action. Three bids were made for
the work, that of Mr. MalSter be-
ing the lowest by about $4,000
A vigorous protest against his receiving the
contract was made by the shipwrights and
caulkers of Baltimore On the ground that he
proposed to employ imported cheap labor in
executing the work. In a memorial to Sec
retary Manning on the subject they say the
award to Mr.. Master will be direct insult
to honest American labor. and will be re-
garded as an alliance on the part of the ad-
ministration with capital against the labor
ing classes. 1t was also argued that by re-
jecting Mr.. Masters bid the government
would secure better work in quality, more
than sufficient to compensate for the differ
ence in the bids.

Suspected of Being Accessories.

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Sept. 26.-Last
night the sheriff of Clay county, with as
sistants, drove to Holy Cross and arrested
John King, a brother-in-law of James II
win, charged with the murder of Hewes, and
John Irwin, brother of the murderer, on
warrants charging them with harboring,
concealing, maintaining and assisting
James Irwin to escape. The sheriff also
arrested Edward Maynard, young man
whom Irwin told of the murder, and
who found the body of the dead man and
gave information to the chief of police
Tuesday morning, the murder having been
committed Monday. The three men were
taken before Justice Of the Peace Titus, who
held Irwin and Maynard in 81, 900 bail,
which they failed to furnish, and were lodged
in jail. County Attorney Larrabee re-
quested continuance of the hearing until
Oct 6, which was granted. The personal
recognizance OF John King was taken, the
officers having theory that King is not
guilty of being an accessory after the fact,
but John Irwin, who once worked for
King, rendered aid and assistance to his
brother. The case has been inefficiently
managed, and the people are indignant.
No trace, beyond Kings place, of the muir
der has been discovered.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Sept. 26.-J. G.

quarreled with his wife and daughter re-
Gently, and the two women left their home
and came to this place to live. Yesterday
afternoon Thompson suddenly appeared in
the house where they were residing and at
tackled them both with a large knife He
first seized his wife and inflicted a terrible
and fatal wound on her throat, but before
he could repeat the blow his daughter came
to her mothers assistance and en-
deavored to wrest the knife from her
fathers grasp, her hand being terribly cut
in the attempt. The infuriated man then
turned on his daughter and made desper-
ate attempt to cut her throat. The outcries
of the women had by this time brought as
siStance and the would-be murderer fed
through the alley and escaped. A number
of men started in pursuit, but it was by tn is
time rapidly growing dark and Thompson
managed to elude them and has not yet
been captured. A thoroughly organized
party is on his track and should they cap
ture him there is little doubt that he will
be lynched. The physicians say there is
some hope of saving the daughters life.

horses were going with a mad rush and

and went plunging into the Office of frame

house and one of the horses went crashing
through window sash right into the office,
while the other horse cleared the corner of
the house and ran across the bridge into
Fargo. The horses were caught without
material damage. No one was in the car

New YORK. Sept. p6.-The quo war
ranto proceedings Of James A. Hinckley
against Dorman B. Eaton, LIE Roy D.
Thoman and John NJ. Gregory, civil service
commissioners, came up before Judge
Wallace in the United States circuit court
this morning. Hinckley asked leave to

ground of unconstitutionality. The court
room was crowded with friends and enc
mics of civil service reform. United States
District Attorney Dorsheimer and Dorman
3. Eaton appeared for the commissioners,
while Norris S. Miller represented Mr..
Hinckley. IN opening Mr.. Dorsheimer
said that the case was an important one,
and as all the parties interested were pres

Judge Wallace decided to hear the motion
after the call of the regular calendar. MI.

Judge Wallace sustained the motion. In
his argument Mr.. Dorsheimer said: ''The

A Riot With RIoodshed

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept. 26.-This
morning at 2:30 a serious riot occurred in
Laughlin's mill, near Martins Ferry, o., in
which at least 200 shots were exchanged.
The riot was precipitated by an attack upon
the Workmen in the mill by a number of
armed men. The workmen had sentinels
Oh guard or the result might have been
more disastrous. From thirty to fifty men,
armed with shotgunS and revOlvers, came
up the railroad track from the direction OF
Martins Ferry and approached to within
thirty PAGES OF the mob, when the guards
called out to halt. The mill men still ad-
vanced, and in q second OF two
the command to halt was again
repeated without effect. A third time
the mills guards were called out. The at
tacking party began firing, when the mill
men at once returned the fire and brisk
firing was kept up for twenty OF thirty min
utes. The attacking party then ceased
firing and almost Immediately retreated,
going toward the river. An examination
OF the force in the mill showed that several
had been shot. The only two, however,
who were seriously hurt were A. NJ. Duff,
Watchman who had SiXty-twO shots from
shotgun in his body, and Millard Bailey,
who was shot through the thigh with rife
ball. AS far as can be learned, four or five
OF the attacking party were hurt, one of
them seriously. The force of armed men
in the mill was eighteen or twenty. The
attacking party, or the TingieaderS at least,
are known. The mill men, after their as
sailants retired, rested OH their arms, fear
ing another attack. The workmen at pres
ent employed at the Laughlin nail works,
Martins Ferry, o., as rollers and heaters,
are members of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, while the strikers are members of the
United Nailers. The party which made the
assault on the mills this morning con-
sisted of strikers from Wheeling, Bellaire
Brilliant, Mingo and Martins Ferry
Warrants were issued to-day for those en-
gagged in the riot, and about fifteen of the
ringleaders were arrested and placed under
bond for future appearance. The arrests
were made without resistance No
further trouble is anticipated, but
as precaution the Laughlin Mill
company this afternoon bought number
of good breech-loading rifles and large
quantity of ammunition, which were sent
over to the mill for the defense of the work.
men in case the attack is renewed. The
mill resumed work at o'clock this morning
as usual. Officials say the work will not
be interrupted by the occurrence. 1t is
said on good authority that six of the at
tacking party were injured, but how badly
is not known. Thomas Dorsy, roll hand,
is reported to have died, and Philip RESIN
ger, a heater. is said to be mortally
wounded. Every effort to suppress the
facts is made by those engaged in the at
