SHOTS EXCHANGED.

A Party Of Men at Work In Mill At
tackled by Strikers and a Number
Wounded on Each Side.
WHEELING, w. VA, Sept, 26- This
morning, at half-past two o'clock, a
serious riot occurred at Laughliu's
mill, above Martins Ferry, Ohio, in
which at least two hundred shots were
exchanged. The riot was precipitated
by an attack upon workmen in the
mill by a number of armed men. The
workmen had sentinels on 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 within thirty PAGES Of
the mill, when the guards called a
halt. The men still advanced and in
a second or two the command to halt
was again repeated, without effect.
The third time the mill guards called
out to halt the attacking party began
firing, when the men in the mill at
once returned the fire and brisk firing
was kept up for twenty or thirty min
utes. The attacking party then ceased
firing and almost Immediately retreat
ed, going toward the river. An exam
nation of the force in the mill showed
that several had been shot. The only
two however who were seriously hurt
were VIM. Duff, the Waterman, who
had sixty-two shots from a shot.
gun in bis body, and Willard
Bailey, who was shot through
the thigh with a rife ball. AS
far as can be learned four or Eve Of the
attacking party were hurt, n Of them
seriously. The force Of armed men in
the mill was eighteen or twenty. The
attacking party, or the ~ring-leaders at
least, are known. The mill force,
after their assailents retired, rested on
their arms fearing another attack. AT
this hour, 9 o'clock this morning, all
is quiet and no further indications OF
trouble.

U~nexampled Prosperity.


Memphis Appeal,
A year ago the country was told
through the press and on the hustingt
that if MI. Cleveland should be elect
ed President, the rebels would "seize'
tie government that if the Demo
cratic party %triumphed millions of PEG
pies money would be spent for pen.
sions to ext confederate soldiers, thai
if the grand old party was overthrow
the negroes would be restored tc
slavery. The working classes were
told that there would be a financial
panic and industrial agitation. Presi-
dent Cleveland has been in office nearly
seven months, and instead of the
dire results predicted, the country is
entering upon a new era Of unexam-
pied prosperity. Rebels are in the
Cabinet and would be the first to op-
pose p%ensioning Confederate soldiers Or
the payment of the rebel debt, and have
expressed their condemnation of Blaine
and Sherman's proposition to disfran-
chise the negro, who, it is
alleged, has representation with
out the right to vote. A
few INSCRIPTIONS newspapers have
tried to manufacture hard times and a
general stagnation in business on &C.
count of the election of Cleveland and
in the hope of making good their reit-
Grated predictions. But no Republi-
can State Convention has dared to
incorporate in its platform such an
issue. The business men of New
York and the commercial agencies
give the most cheering reports as to
the business prospects of the whole
country. A press dispatch from Wash
ington, dated September 2lst, says:
"There is no reason, so far as we can
see here, why the people Of the coun-
try should not experience a period of
unusual prosperity, beginning with the
first of the new year." said an old inan-
cier at the Treasury Department to-
day. 81 have just been talk
ing" continued he, with a friend
over at the Agricultural Department,
and we reviewed the condition of the
crops throughout the country and
compared them with the financial out
look, and we were both of the decided
opinion that there will be plenty of
food and money as soon as the crop
begins to move. There has been a
large harvest of wheat and other
cereals, while the corn and stock will
be productive of splendid results.

quaFFelled with bic wife and daughter
recently, and the two women left their

Late yesterday Thompson suddenly
appeared in the house where they were
residing and attacked them both with
a knife, He siezed bis wife and IN
hicted a terrible and fatal wound on
her throat. Before he could repeat the
blow bis daughter came to her mothers
assistance and endeav0red to wrest
the knife from her fathers grasp, her
hand being terribly cut in the attempt
The infatuated man then turned on BIS
daughter and made a desperate at
tempt to cut her throat. The outcries
Of the women brought assistance, and
the would-be murderer fed through
alleys and escaped. A number of men
started In pursuit, but Thompson
managed to elude them, and has not
yet been captured. A thoroughly or
gained party is now on bis track, and
should they capture him there is little
doubt he will be lynched. The physi-
clan says there Is some hope Of saving

Times-Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-It is moi
true, as some seek to make it appear
that the President and his Cabinet arr
not in agreement as to the full scope
and purport of the civil service Law
and not united in a desire to rigidlJ
enforce it to the very letter.
The trouble is very speciously put
and more frequently takes this shape
than any other. When any remoYa,
or appointment is made not in con
sonance with the popular idea Of SOUND
political policy, it is instantly said thai
it is the work of the President; that
no politician of the experience Of
either Mr.. Bayard, or Mr.. Manning,
or MI. Whitney would have done such
a thing. This is largely the comment
now on the Sterling case.
The President is held solely response
BILE for the whole unfortunate affair
Such talk as this is heard here
make me believe that an old politician
like Dan Manning woald have sus-
pended Sterling on such charges as
those preferred on the eve Of a great
party contest. Not a bit of it. Man
ming is too shrewd a man for that. 1t
is the Presidents work, depend upon it.
It was done by the express orders Of
Mr.. Cleveland"
This representation makes the Pres
ident a merciless driver of his cabinet,
t%lourishing a whip over their heads
and urging them along his route
whether they will or not.
1t is surely and wholly absurd. Mr..
Cleveland is supported by every mem
Der of his cabinet in the stand he has
taken on the subject of civil service
reform. If he is sustained in it by
the country they will be entitled to
share the credit with him. If heis re-
buked, a full measure of the RESPONSE.
bility will be theirs.
