Military ASSIGNMENTS.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-It is expected
that the recent graduates at West Point
Academy will be assigned to the various
regiments when Secretary Endicott returns
to Washington next week. There were
thirty-nine graduates. At the present time
their exist fifty-four vacancies among the
officers of the army, of which sixteen are
in the cavalry branch, seven in the artil-
lery, twenty mine in the infantry, and two
in the engineer corps. After the assign
ment of the West Point graduates, the
commissioned officers, who have passed
the examinations by the Boards con-
vened by the various departments, will be
assigned. Twelve men were ordered before
Examining Boards. 1t is believed that six
of them have successfully passed their ex-
animation. 1t will make total of forty
five men to be assigned, leaving nine vacan-
cies to be filed. The question has been
raised whether or not these vacancies will
be filled by civilians, or be allowed to re-
uain untitled until the graduation of the
large class of 80 at West Point next year.
IG is thought that the President will ap-
point civilians to the positions, and allow
Congress to provide for prospective gradu-

UNDER A PILE HAMMER.
A Workman Driven Through q Bridge
and Into the Mud Five Feet-The
Body Deserted.

vIcKsBURa, MISS, June PA letter
from Captain A. j. Stevens, of Doherty's
Ferry, on Sunfower River, says singular
accident occurred on Goose Lake, about
fifteen miles from that point Monday. Cap
tain jackson, of Murfeesboro, Tenn, was
building bridge across the lake. When
near the center one of the guy roues to the
pile-driver parted, dumping the heavy
hammer into the lake, about twenty feet
up the bridge. AS it fell it struck one of
the workmen and crushed him
through the bridge into the lake.
where the water is about eleven
feet deep. Captain jackson constructed
cofferdam and lowered it over the hammer,
then procuring a large lift pump drew the
water out of the same. When the hammer
was bloody, it was supposed that
the body of the workman was un-
der it, the hammer having buried itself
about five feet in the mud and had to be
dug out. About the time the hammer was
secured the body was abandoned. The ham
mer was restored to the driver, and the
bridge work goes on as usual.

New School for Seamen.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The school pro-
posed by Commodore Schley for the in
struction of seamen in the improved arma-
ment of modern vessels will open at the
Navy-yard in this city the 1st of July. A
class of twenty sailors has been selected.
Commodore Schley hopes to open with a
class of twenty members at Newport, Au-
gust l. The latter class will receive torpedo
instruction for six months, at the end
of which period it will come to Washington
and the class here will go to Newport. The
instruction at the two points will conclude
at the end of one year, when new classes
will be formed. Only sailors enlisted in
continuous service are admitted to the
school. ''These men," said Commodore
Schley to-day, '.are to go on the vessels
at the end of the years instruction and
act as teachers of other men who
may be on board. Our sailors have
not kept pace with the advance in gun ma
chinery. The Government is to blame for
this, for since the war no attempt at i'm
provement in guns has been made until
within the past year. Now we have no i'm
proved guns nor men to handle them if
they should be obtained. The ball of war
fired at a modern vessel is like a pea
snapped at a window-pane. We expect to
secure new guns, and will need men to ham
die Them"

PITTSBURGH, June 24.-The greatest in
terest was manifested in the Riddle
Reiber conspiracy case, it being generally
known that the jury had agreed upon a
verdict. The court room was filed to its
utmost capacity this morning. and the
corridors leading to the room were
jammed. About $3.50 o'clock Court was
opened, and the jury stated that they had
found verdict of mot guilty." and that
the costs should be paid by the prosecutors,
Directors Cavett and Carroll. There was
some lively applause, but it was suppressed
by the Court. After the defendants had
been congratulated, ex-President Riddle,
knowing that there was writ for his ar
rest on judgment obtained by c. E. Stew

in $4,000. The amount of the Judgment
against him was 5000. He was released
from custody, and was again the recipient

RELIGIOUS RIOT.
Serious Trouble in a Polish Catho.

Two Men Killed and Many wounded-Thir

TOLEDO, O., June 2s.-This afternoon a
bloody riot took place at Polish settle

streets, between two opposing factions of
the st. Hedwig's polish Catholic) Church,
wherein about a hundred men, women and
children participated. About week ago
an attempt was made to blow up the house
Of the Rev. Lewando~ski, pastor of the
church, and a member of the congregation
by the name of Dalkowski was arrested
tor SO doing, and placed under bonds A
saloon-keeper, named Peter Zelaszkiewicz,
went his bail, and he was subsequently re-
leased. Bad blood seems to have been en-
gendered by this act, as both were enemies
of the priest. This afternoon crowd gath
cred in zelaszkiewicz,s saloon. and de-
nounced the saloon-keeper for going
Dalkowski's bail. A little scrim-
mage followed, and while the men were
ripe for riot they attacked Dalkowski's
house, which was near the saloon. In
few moments the crowd, thor
house, destroyed the furniture and badly
bruised the inmates. Dalkowski was hor-
ribly beaten with clubs, and died shortly
after. The crowd, which had been in
creasing in numbers, then attacked Ze-
iaszkiewiz's saloon, completely wrecking
Dobrowolczki, was shot through the fore
head and instantly killed. A number Of
the deceased mems friends were also badly
used, two men sustaining serious in
juries. Mrs. Dalkowski and another
woman were injured, but not dam
gerously. At the police station tonight
there are no less than ten cots in use for
the wounded and homeless ones. Thirteen
Polanders who took part in the bloody af-
fray have been arrested. The name of the
murderers can not be ascertained tonight.
The congregation has for long time been
at variance on the question as to whether
the priest, Father Lewandowski, should be
removed or not. On account of this state
of affair bad blood has been existing be-
tween the priests friends and his opposers.
At late hour tonight the Coroner is pre-
pairing to hold an inquest on the bodies OF
the murdered men. The scene of the riot is
over two miles from police station, but q
force of policemen was on the ground as
soon as possible, and arrested twelve or
fifteen of the leading rioters and jailed
them. Not less than one hundred men,
women and children were engaged in the
fight. A force of policemen were detailed
to keep the peace for the night, but the ex-
citement is intense, and more trouble is ex-
pected.

Frelinghuysen's Grave.

The Christian Statesmen of New Jersey at
Frelinghuysen's Grave.
1t was very unseemly that so solemn
an event as the funeral of ex-Secretary
Frelinghuysen should have excited bad
blood among the christian statesmen"
of New Jersey. But such unfortunate
Iy has been the case. 1t appears that
in arranging for the obsequies of the
departed ex-Secretary his friends re-
membered that he had been defeated
for the United States Senate some years
ago by Senator Sewell, who now holds
the position to which the deceased had
aspired. 1t should be supposed that
death would have smoothed the asper-
tiles and molliiied the harsh feelings re-
sulting from such a contest. But it
seems only to have intensified them
The managers of the funeral thought
it would be good opportunity to show
Sewell what they thought of him, and
accordingly they refused to extend to
| him those funereal courtesies which are
customarily extended to the leading
statesmen of State when one of their
number shuffies off his mortal coil. Sen
ator Sewell was pointedly omitted from
the list of pall-bearers, and to give addi-
t:onal acerbity to the slight the Demo
cratic Senator Mcpherson was promi-
nent among those who had the handling
of the coffin. With a Christian determi-
nation to overlook so obvious snub
Senator Sewell, however determined to
attend the funeral, and in company
with a friend walked up the aisle of the
church, but was politely told that there
was no seat for him, as they had been
reserved for the friends of the de-
ceased. The Senator walked out of the
church and went home, no doubt with
feelings such as he should not have en-
tertained on so solemn an occasion. One
of the managers afterwards chucllled
over the manner in which they had
beaten the ''Sewell gang"
That such bitter disagreements should
exist among Republican leaders is some
thing to occasion painful surprise to
those who regard them as the represen-
tatives cf the higher moral sentiments.

Cholera Less viruIent,

VALENCIA, June 26.-The latest reports
show that cholera is spreading, but with
tendency to be less virulent. The mortality
in the port of Grao and the neighboring
township of Cabanes is alarming. Among
the victims is an English sailor on board
the British ship Ross, bound for Bilboa. A
large proportion of cases are dry cholera,
with little or no diarrhea. To-day one
hundred notabilities of Valencia were REIN
oculated in the presence of Dr. Ferran and
the foreign delegates. The general impress
sion is that the epidemic is mild for Asiatic
cholera. Vessels arriving from Southern
ports, from infected places, have been or

seats, smashed the furniture, and made
havoc generally. Women tainted, child

general stampede followed. The enraged
elephant, after clearing out the canvas,
made a break for the woods near by, and
mired himself in an adjacent swamp. AZ
ter much difficulty he was extricated, but
five bullets were shot into his hide to tame
him. Amid the panic numbers of limbs
were broken and property lost and dam
aged. No fatalities occurred.
