They Make a Desperate Resistance to
the Troops and Several are Killed.
LEMoNT, ILL.,, May 4.-Since the battle this
forenoon in which two strikers were instant
ly killed and seven wounded, including a
woman, two of the wounded have died. The
streets are quiet and the troops are encamp-
ed in commanding position with four can
non and one Calling gun. They have their
pickets out and guards are patrolling the
town at this hour-9 p. m. There are no ap-
prehensions of further trouble tonight. The
battle in the forenoon was stubborn and des-
perate. The troops had to fight every inch
of their way through the town. About two
and a half miles south of Lemont the militia
~ aGghted, being unable to proceed fur
ther on account of the immense gathering and
the evident hostility. The militia marched
up the main road, while the battery made a
detour through the country at rapid pace
and took position on top of a hill overlook
ing the depot and commanding the street.
The militia was led by Company of Joliet.
Colonel Bennett commanded the movements.
AS the column came toward the city
the strikers escaped it and soon the
march of the troops became i'm
peded by the crowd. There were
angry shouts, wild gesticulations and general
disorder. AS the depot was reached the
crowd became demonstratiye. Several stones
were thrown and some of the troops were
struck by the missiles. The order was given
to fire and promptly obeyed. Several men
were seen to drop, while the crowd uttered
curses loud and deep. Women We're ordered
under cover and compelled to go in
doors at the point of the bayonet to
escape the bullets. The strikers, about one
hundred in number, then retire tied up the
hill Stones were still being thrown and the

The Borough Election Yesterday-The
Qufetest for Years.
Very little interest was taken in the cleo
ton in West Haven yesterday. Both tickets
were quite similar. Both tickets were head
ed by Rollin W. Hine, formerly a Repubi-
can, now Democrat, for warden, conse-
quently he was elected. There were six bur-
gesses to be elected and each side put up
three, consequently all six were elected.
These are as follows: On the Republican citi-
zens' ticket, Samuel L. Smith, Donaldson S.
Thompson, James H. Reynolds; on the
Democratic ticket, Luther Fowler, Chas. T.
Sherman, James Gillespie. Both sides also
run Adrian G. Hoffman, of the Canal rail
road Office in this city, for clerk. He was
consequently elected. The same was the case
with DIR. Barnett, who was on both tickets
for the treasurership, and with Thomas E.
Newton, who was on both for auditor.

troops continued their fire, several of
the crowd falling as it continued.
Some of the militia had hand
to hand encounters with the strikers
and not less than dozen men were prodded
with bayonets or knocked out by the butt
end of guns. After twenty minutes fight
ing the mob was practically dispersed. No
more opposition appearing the soldiers
marched about two miles north of the city
where camp was struck. The names of the
dead are: Jacob Kajawa, who leaves wife
and two children, and Andrew Stetter, I'M
married
1t is reported that two of the wounded
have since died. The woman was struck on
the head by bayonet during the melee when
the strikers and soldiers had hand to hand

About midnight fire broke out in the

in Branford and quickly gained such head

rHE PRESIDENT AT GETTYSBURG
He Visits Points of Interest on the
Battlefield.

Battlefield.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, May 4-The train from
Washington bringing President Cleveland,
Vice President Hendricks, Secretaries Endi-
colt and Lamar, Postmaster General Villas
and about two hundred veterans of the Army
of the Potomac to visit the battlefield of
Gettysburg arrived here at noon to-day
There were but few incidents worthy of
mention on the trip. At Baltimore large
crowds assembled, but the President, who
was the center of observation, sat in his car
reading a paper, seeming oblivious of the
fact that a large crowd was gazing at him
At other points along the road crowds had
gathered, but they only caught glimpse of
the President. At Hanover, Pa, there was
a slight delay caused by the breaking down
of the engine. Another engine was obtained
and the train proceeded without further
incident to Gettysburg where it seemed as if
the entire population of the town
and surrounding country had assembled to
meet it. As the train drew up to the depot
a national salute was fired. Governor Pat
tison of Pennsylvania and Congressman
Swope boarded the train and after a few re
marks by Ex-Governor Curtin the crowd
made an opening and the President and party
proceeded to carriages in waiting. The party
was then driven to the National
cemetery where Governor Pattison in
behalf of the State of Penn
sylvania made an address of welcome
Hon. Martin Maginnis on behalf of the First
Army corps responded. Ex-Governor Cur
tin then addressed the crowd, giving a his
tory of his connection with the war and the
part Pennsylvania troops took in it, partieu-
larly in the battle of Gettysburg. After the
exercises were over here the President and
party spent the rest of the afternoon in driv-
ing over the battlefield visiting the points of
interest where the positions of
the contending forces were ex-
planned by Generals Hunt and Rosecrans.
At p. m. the President, Vice President and
the remainder of the presidential party start
ed for Washington evidently pretty well
tagged out by their journey over the battle
field. Most of the visiting veterans will re-
main here until tomorrow night.
At the camp fire tonight General Slocum
presided. Addresses were made by Generals

Poor People Lose Their Earnings.

DUNK1RK, N. Y, May 4.-This morning
a notice of assignment was posted on the
doors of H. D. J. Minerk & Co., wiring I'M
der the State banking law. The cause of the
failure is variously given. One of the rea-
sons assigned by the bankers themselves is
the depreciation in value of railway stocks
held as securities, also the general depression
in business contributed to the failure. The
deposits in the bank are said to be $500, 900,
placed there mostly by poor people. Great
excitement prevails in the town as the bank
was considered one of the strongest in the
country. Mr.. Miner is regarded as perfectly

THE PRESIDENT FIRED Ar.

"A MAN Empties Three shots at the
Train While Returning From Gets
tysburg-Nobody Hurt and President
Cleveland Unconscious of His
Danger.
WASHINGTON, May President Cleve-
land, Vice President Hendricks and the rest
of the presidential party returned to WASH
ipgton tonight from Gettysburg, arriving
here at $50. 1t has been ascertained that
when the train bearing the presidential party
from Gettysburg passed through the cut near
Hanover, Pa, a.man standing near the track
fired three pistol shots at the cars. Those
who witnessed the firing declare that there
can be no mistake about the intention of the
man to shoot into the cars, while others
who did not hear the shots fred
that the man was evidently hav-
ing little quiet sport shooting at q mark or
perhaps intending to salute the presidential
party. A United Press representative made
diligent inquiries among those who were on
the train and there were but few who knew
anything of the firing. One gentleman was
who said he saw the last shot
fired, but he was unable to say positively
whether or not the marksman aimed
considerable excitement among those
who knew of it. 1t is thought that
the President knew nothing of it. When the
train stopped at Hanover the President in
company with Vice President Hendricks
shook hands with the throng which sur
rounded the car during the time occupied by
the engine in taking water
