DEEDS OF DEATH.
Life Already Sacrificed in the
st. Louis Strikes.
EXCITING EVENTS
Ifdobs Running a City Upsetting
r Cars and PummeIing
Officers.

ST. LOUIS, October 9.-The situation re
garding the strike of street car men presents
no marked changes from that of yesterday
but there is feeling OF great uncertainty
and expectation OF further violence. AL
OF the lines are running some cars, an6
several OF them are doing nearly full ser
vice.
The quiet OF the morning hours was moi
long continued, as about noon the strikers
began to assemble in knots in various parts
OF the city and things presented an ominous
appearance
THE FIRST RIOT
occurred on the Choteau Avenue road, and
several were dumped into the. gutter and
the drivers and conductors severely han
died. The next big crowd OF strikers at
? tackled several cars of the Union Depot line
on Twelfth street bridge, within square OF
the -Four Courts and the police headquar.
ters: The drivers and conductors were
badly beaten, one conductor being rendered
insensible. The rioters were in such a
hurry to tip over the cars that the passen.
gers were not allowed time to get out, and
two ladies were badly bruised on the
Twelfth street bridge while leaping from a
car which the strikers had already tilted in
the air. Mayor Francis and Chief of Police
Harrington, with squad OF police, arrived
on the bridge soon afterwards and made
some arrests, the rioters dispensing sud-
denly.
OTHER RIOTS.
About 2 o'clock p. m. a riot broke out on
Cass avenue, by a crowd extending from
Ninth to Fourteenth street. At least a
dozen cars OF the Cass avenue line we:,.
laid in the cutters between the stree;,s
named by a mob. All conductors and
drivers were thumped very roughly and the
teams turned loose on the streets.
Shortly after the another riot occurred
on the tracks OF the Union line on Ofallon
street, near Tenth, one block south of the
location OF the Cass avenue row. Here cars
were tossed about and the widest excite
ment prevailed. Two mobs were in close
proximity and the crowds soon united
Some two or three thousand people were
filling all the adjacent streets and prevent
ing traffic. In a few minutes another mob
began to overturn cars of the Lindell Rail-
way, on Eighth street and Washington ave-
nue., and here, too, an immense crowd gath
cred. Up to 2:3O p. m. no one was reported
very badly injured, but serious trouble may
occur at any time.
LOSS OF LIFE.
The first really serious event and one in
volving the loss of life occurred about 3
O. CLOCK this afternoon on Stoddard avenue.
One car OF the Union Depot line was COM
ing up the avenue in charge OF policemen
Griffiths and hannon, and when near
Hickory street it was surrounded by some
fifty men, who began cutting the harness
and to make other demonstrations. The
officers twice ordered the men to desist, but
they paid no attention to the command
and assaulted the officers with sticks and
rocks. Harmon was struck with rock
and Griffiths was knocked down by a man
named John Haney. While the latter was
beating GrifitE's, Harmon drew his pistol
and shot him in the head, killing him.

While the late exposures OF the organized
lawlessness had wholesome effect, an
evil disposition is manifested by those dcs-

Water Bound Mexico.

MEXICO, (via Galveston), October 9:-The
continued rains make regular railroad
traffic impossible. Passengers and mails
on the Central railway are still detained.
The bridge at Laredo has been carried
away and passengers and mails are being
transferred in boats. There can be no
permanent impro ovement till it stops rain
ing in the interior. The rains in this
city have several times within week
flooded the streets so as to make travel
except in cabs, impossible. The lowlands
about this city and near Guadaloupe are
flonded. The loss to farmers in the Hooded
districts in the interior will be very heavy
A number OF lives have been lost III the
rural villages by bursting reservoirs.

A SCIENTIFIC OPINION.

ASTORIA, L. l., October 1o.-To obtain
scientific opinion of the explosion at Flood
rock, an Associate Press representative IN
terviewed Captain Mercur, OF the United
States Engineer Corps, who formerly had
charge OF the Flood rock work: Captain
Mercur said: Il am perfectly satisfied that
the explosion was success. 1t has ac-
complished all that was anticipated by
those in charge of the work. OF course,
people who expected to see whole acres ot
rock go skyward and fall back to the water
in cobble stones were disapE ointed. We did
not expect that to occur. In my opinion
the rock is in just such condition as will
render its removal easy. OF course, until
surveys are made it will not be known how
the under parts OF the rock nave been ac1ed
upon. 1t is believed that every pound OF
dynamite and rack-rock was exploded and
did its duty When went back with Lieu

The STAR printed yesterday as Mahone s
prediction about the Senatorship. There

Immediately, and tomorrow night may see
the Senator nominated. The talk is very strong
among Daniels friends of forcing the caucus
INTO action at its next meeting, and
should this plan receive the support OF
staples and fuckers friends, there will be
fight and probably a result long in advance
of public expectation. As there can be no
election of Senator until the 18th inst, this
rush OF the opposition against Barbour would
indicate belief on their part either that his
forces were not now Well i'm hand, that in
the public discussion attending delay, Barbour
would be gamer. Important developments
may at any time be expected. The nomination

significance, but the fact is undsputed that

the canvass to be for Daniel, and had he been
