CHICAGO, Feb. about 400 persons
were present in the West Tenth street
Turner hall this afternoon to listen to a
joint discussion between members OF
the socialists and the trades assembly;
the latter having recently passed resolu-
tons denouncing socialism on behalf of
the wage workers OF the city. A num-
Der OF persons spoke on each side of the
question. On behalf of the trades as
sembly it was claimed that the condi-
ton of the laboring classes in
this country had been steadily
Improving instead Of growing worse;
that they were better housed, better
clothed and better fed; in fact, that in
every way they were better off than
ever before in the history OF the world.
On behalf of the socialists it was
claimed that workingmen were still
suffering great wrongs; that statistics
showed that for every dollar the
worker received the capitalist re-

TnYlOr,s Mormon Talk.

SALT LAKE, Feb. president John
Taylor spoke in the tabernacle yester-
day. He referred to his recent trip and
said the saints are being prosecuted in
Arizona and sent to an American Sibe-
ria for living their religion. He spoke OF
the federal officers here as sneaks and
tramps, intruding with process from
the courts into the homes of the people,
which was hard to bear.
Patience might cease to be virtue,
yet they will stand it little longer.
He didn't want blood to flow, but there
would be a change before long. The
prosecutions were making some of the
saints think OF going to Il foreign coun-
try to preserve religious liberty. There
might be another pilgrim day. he

states, where no one was punished for
numbering Mormon missionaries.

A Free Fight.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 2-[Special. l-On
last Wednesday night, at the house OF
John McGraw, ten miles from Helena,
Karnes county, desperate shooting
ARRAY occurred, in which two brothers,
William and Eli Herrell, were killed
and Harry Patton mortally wounded. A
dance was going on, whisky was
plentiful and an argument between
Patton and one of the Harrells resulted
in drawing weapons. After the first
shot was fired the other Harrell took a
hand, and the ARRAY became general.
The room was small and crowded and
soon became too full of smoke to shoot,
and the firing ceased. Several others
were grazed, but not seriously hurt.

Who Poisoned Sweeney.

Houston, Feb. 2.-[Special.l-A de-
tective in town, after having worked
diligently searching to ascertain who
poisoned James S. Sweeney, lately de-
ceased, reports tonight that the mother
of the deceased did It. He says she, on
two occasions, purchased strychnine
from a druggist in town, and that she
had said all the time there was no
poison about the house, but that now
she acknowledges that she did buy the
strychnine. The matter will probably
come before the grand jury. The dis
tress of the mother at the death of her
son seemed overwhelming, and many
citizens do not believe the mother Is
implicated at ali. They say il can not
be true and it does not look possible.
